BioRestorative Therapies Reports Positive  Phase 2 Blinded Data for BRTX-100 Demonstrating Meaningful Improvements in Pain and Function in Chronic Lumbar Disc Disease

MELVILLE, N.Y., March 30, 2026 — BioRestorative Therapies, Inc. (“BioRestorative,” “BRTX,” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq:BRTX), a late-stage clinical regenerative medicine company focused on stem cell-based therapies and products, today announced blinded data from its Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating hypoxic-cultured mesenchymal stem cells for the treatment of chronic lumbar disc disease, with 50% or more of treated patients reporting improvements >50% across key pain and functional outcome measures and no adverse events related to dose-limiting toxicities.  Importantly, the Phase 2 study efficacy endpoint is a greater than a 30% improvement in both the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) at 52 weeks, which is the minimum improvement needed to meet clinical efficacy success. Chronic lumbar disc disease is a leading cause of chronic lower back pain and disability, affecting millions of patients globally and representing a significant unmet need for non-surgical regenerative therapies.

These data were presented at the 2026 Orthopaedic Research Society Annual Meeting on March 28, 2026 at the Charlotte Convention Center in Charlotte, North Carolina. The Company delivered these data in a presentation titled, “Late-Stage Phase 2 Clinical Safety and Efficacy Data on Intradiscal Injections of Hypoxic Cultured Mesenchymal Stem Cells: Study Update.”

“These blinded data further support the therapeutic potential of our hypoxic-cultured mesenchymal stem cell technology, with  patients demonstrating meaningful improvements across key pain and functional outcome measures,” said Lance Alstodt, BioRestorative Therapies President, Chief Executive Officer, and Chairman.  “Even with blinded data, this signal provides us with confidence in the ultimate outcome of the study, and optimism moving forward with regard to the ultimate potential for meeting a medical need that has, to date, been inadequately addressed.

“Importantly, the results also continue to reinforce the favorable safety and tolerability profile observed to date. In addition, following our recent Type B meeting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, we achieved alignment on key elements of a potential Phase 3 clinical trial for BRTX-100, including primary endpoints, statistical powering assumptions, dosing strategy, and the overall development framework. The agency did not raise safety concerns and confirmed that our CMC framework is appropriate for late-stage development.

“Taken together, these developments position the Company to transition from clinical evaluation toward registrational planning. As we move toward the planned unblinding of the Phase 2 study, we have begun preparing for the next stage of clinical development, including protocol planning and other Phase 3 readiness activities, while continuing to generate additional clinical data that may support the advancement and potential commercialization of BRTX-100,” concluded Mr. Alstodt.

Clinically meaningful improvements in both pain and functional outcomes were observed across multiple validated pain and function measures, including the Visual Analog Scale (“VAS”), Oswestry Disability Index (“ODI”), Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire (“RMDQ”), and Functional Rating Index (“FRI”), with responses sustained for up to two years in patients with longer-term follow-up.

On the VAS for pain, 53.57% of patients reported greater than 50% improvement at 26 weeks (n=28), with the percentage of patients that reported greater than 50% improvement increasing to 75% at 52 weeks (n=12) and remaining 75% at 104 weeks (n=4).

Similar improvements were observed on the ODI, a widely used measure of functional impairment associated with spinal disorders.  Blinded results from the abstract showed 53.57% of patients achieved greater than 50% improvement at 26 weeks (n=28), increasing to 74.63% of patients at 52 weeks (n=12), with 50% of patients maintaining that level of improvement at 104 weeks (n=4).

Improvements were also observed on the RMDQ, with 57.14% of patients experiencing greater than 50% improvement at 26 weeks (n=28), 50% of patients at 52 weeks (n=12), and 75% of patients at 104 weeks (n=4).

FRI demonstrated continued improvement over time, with 35.71% of patients achieving greater than 50% improvement at 26 weeks (n=28), increasing to 66.67% of patients at 52 weeks (n=12) and 50% of patients at 104 weeks (n=4).

Finally, at 26 weeks (n=28) 41% of patients reported a 50% improvement in both ODI and VAS, 55% of patients achieved a 50% improvement in both ODI and VAS at 52 weeks (n=12), and at 104 weeks (n=4) 57% of patients met a 50% improvement in both ODI and VAS.

The latest addition to CURED’s sleep and stress relief lineup arrives on the heels of a sellout launch.

BOULDER, CO (March 30, 2026) – CURED Nutrition, a health and wellness brand harnessing the power of microdosed cannabinoids and functional mushrooms, today announced the launch of a strawberry flavor of its best-selling Dream Gummies. The new flavor is available now at curednutrition.com alongside the original grape.

Dream Gummies rank among CURED’s top-selling products — and for good reason. When the line debuted in November 2025, it sold out within two weeks, signaling a growing consumer demand for credible, third-party tested sleep support. In a 1,000-person study, participants who used CURED products for seven days reported significantly reduced stress and increased feelings of calm and physical ease — making the transition to restful sleep measurably simpler.

“Sleep is the foundation of overall health, and our 235,000+ customers trust us to support their end-of-day unwind in a clean, sustainable way. Dream was built to honor that trust,” said Joseph Sheehey, CEO and Co-Founder of CURED Nutrition.

Dream Gummies combine a precision cannabinoid and botanical formula — CBD, CBN, and a microdose of THC, paired with valerian root, passionflower, and chamomile. The result is deep, restorative sleep without the intoxicating effects of high-dose THC or the next-day fog common to most sleep supplements.

“Dream gummies are the perfect combo of my go-to plants for helping me fall asleep,” said Heather K., a verified user of CURED’s Dream gummies and a CURED Nutrition influencer. “Perimenopause is no joke when it comes to a good night’s sleep, and these gummies are exactly the potency I was hoping for to help my body sleep deep!”

CURED’s microdose approach uses approximately one-tenth the THC found in a standard edible — enough to deliver subtle, functional benefits like reduced stress, elevated mood, and improved quality of life, without the high. Every batch is produced in the United States and third-party tested for purity and potency.

Gloves are stepping back into the spotlight as a surprising yet stylish accessory this season. Once reserved for winter wardrobes or formal occasions, gloves are now making waves in spring and summer fashion, with designers showcasing sheer leather, delicate lace, and lightweight fabrics that blend style with functionality.

This season’s glove trend is not just about aesthetics. Lightweight gloves offer a practical benefit for sunny days: protecting your hands from harmful UV rays. While most people remember sunscreen for their face and arms, hands are equally exposed to sun damage, which can lead to premature aging, dark spots, and even skin cancer. Summer-friendly gloves provide a chic shield while keeping your look sophisticated.

Designers are experimenting with textures and transparency to ensure gloves remain breathable and comfortable in warmer weather. Sheer leather gloves in pastel tones, lace gloves with intricate patterns, and fingerless designs allow for freedom of movement while making a fashion statement. They pair effortlessly with flowing dresses, tailored blazers, or even casual denim, adding a touch of elegance to everyday outfits.

In addition to sun protection, summer gloves can help keep hands clean and hygienic, especially during outdoor events or travel. Lightweight, breathable fabrics make it easy to wear them throughout the day without discomfort.

Whether you choose a delicate lace pair for a garden party or a sleek leather design for urban outings, gloves are proving they are far more than a cold-weather accessory. This summer, they combine fashion, functionality, and sun-smart protection, making them a wardrobe essential for the style-conscious and health-conscious alike.

Bhubaneswar, March 30, 2026 – Odisha has completed a year of significant progress under the Antyodaya Gruha Yojana, a flagship program focused on providing safe and dignified housing for the State’s most vulnerable families. The initiative has reached thousands of households, including in remote districts such as Kalahandi, ensuring that marginalized communities have access to secure homes and improved living conditions.

The scheme goes beyond building houses, fostering stability, security, and dignity for families that have long faced economic and social challenges. With effective implementation across the State, Antyodaya Gruha Yojana has become a model of inclusive development, demonstrating how targeted social welfare programs can transform lives and strengthen communities.

Odisha’s flagship Subhadra Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) scheme is emerging as a key driver of women’s empowerment and economic stability in the state. Designed to strengthen financial independence among women, the initiative is showing measurable improvements in household resilience and participation in the local economy.

According to a recent report by State Bank of India Research, beneficiaries of the scheme have recorded a 45% increase in savings and a 28% rise in spending. These trends indicate not only improved financial security but also greater confidence in managing household finances.

The Subhadra scheme, which provides direct financial support to women, is helping expand access to formal banking systems while encouraging regular savings habits. Increased spending among beneficiaries is also contributing to local economic activity, particularly in rural and semi-urban areas.

Experts note that such targeted DBT initiatives play a crucial role in promoting inclusive growth by ensuring that financial resources reach women directly. This, in turn, enhances their decision-making power within households and supports long-term socio-economic development.

The Odisha government has positioned the scheme as part of a broader strategy to improve livelihoods, reduce financial vulnerability, and strengthen grassroots economic participation. Early indicators suggest that the initiative is not only uplifting individual households but also contributing to the state’s overall economic momentum.
