Current report
Effective June 26, 2026, following the annual reconstitution of the Russell indexes, we were added to the Russell 3000® Index and the Russell 2000® Index. The Russell indexes are reconstituted annually based primarily on market capitalization and other objective criteria established by FTSE Russell. Inclusion in the Russell 3000® Index also results in inclusion in the Russell 2000® Index for qualifying small-cap companies. We expect to remain a constituent of these indexes at least until the next semi-annual reconstitution, subject to the applicable index methodology*.*
Current report
On July 31, 2025, we and our wholly-owned subsidiaries, Orchestra BioMed, Inc. and BackBeat, entered into a Loan Agreement with Medtronic (the “Medtronic Loan Agreement”), pursuant to which Medtronic agreed to extend a convertible loan to us in the aggregate original principal amount of $20.0 million (the “Medtronic Loan”). The Medtronic Loan is evidenced by a secured subordinated convertible promissory note (the “Medtronic Note”) issued by us. The issuance of the Medtronic Note to Medtronic and the funding of the Medtronic Loan occurred on May 1, 2026 pursuant to the conditions described in the Medtronic Loan Agreement. The Medtronic Note accrues simple interest at a rate of 11% per annum provided that no interest payments will be paid or due until the Maturity Date.
Current report
The Medtronic Note does not allow for prepayment without the prior consent of Medtronic. Unless earlier converted, or redeemed, the Medtronic Note will mature on April 27, 2031 (the “Maturity Date”). In addition, the payment or other satisfaction of the obligations set forth in the Medtronic Loan Agreement are subordinate in right of payment to the prior payment in full of the senior obligations. The obligations arising under the Medtronic Loan Agreement and the Medtronic Note are secured by security interests in, and pledges over, the Company’s assets, subject to certain agreed security principles, permitted liens and other customary exceptions and qualifications.
Current report
The principal balance of the Medtronic Note, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon (collectively, the “Balance”) will automatically convert into a revenue share (the “Revenue Share Credit”), if FDA approval of a Medtronic device incorporating AVIM Therapy is achieved prior to the Maturity Date. Upon conversion of the outstanding Balance, we shall pay to Medtronic the Revenue Share Credit, which shall equal 15% of the revenue share amounts that we receive under the Amended Medtronic Agreement, until such time as the total Revenue Share Credit payments equal $40.0 million.
Current report
We recognize interest expense using the effective interest method over the estimated term of the arrangement. The effective interest rate is based on our estimate of the timing and amount of future payments expected to be made under the arrangement. The total interest expense associated with the Medtronic Note resulted in an effective interest rate of 13.2% as of June 30, 2026. We will periodically assess the estimated amounts due and payable to Medtronic and to the extent the amount or timing of such payments is materially different than the original estimates, an adjustment will be recorded prospectively to the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Current report
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $325,000, or approximately 3%, to $12.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, from $12.5 million of expense for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease primarily resulted from a decrease of $642,000 in stock-based compensation, partially offset by an increase of $288,000 in accounting, finance, and legal expenses.
Current report
The derivative liability of the Series A Preferred Stock was remeasured to a fair value of $2.5 million as of June 30, 2026. We recognized a gain of $289,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2026 primarily due to changes in the fair value inputs and assumptions used in the valuation model since the measurement at December 31, 2025.
Current report
Product revenue decreased by $81,000, or approximately 48%, to $88,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2026 from $169,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2025.

Orchestra BioMed Presented AVIM Therapy Clinical and Mechanistic Data at HRS 2026
Previous report
On April 23, 2026, we announced the presentation of new clinical data related to our AVIM Therapy at the Heart Rhythm Society 2026 Annual Meeting. Data from the MODERATO II randomized, prospective, multi-center, double-blind, controlled pilot study demonstrated that activation of AVIM Therapy was associated with an immediate mean reduction of 13.2 mmHg in office systolic blood pressure (“oSBP”) prior to randomization. In addition, 97% of patients experienced a reduction of at least 5 mmHg in oSBP. At six months, mean ambulatory systolic blood pressure (“aSBP”) was 125.2 mmHg, with 89% of patients achieving aSBP below 140 mmHg, the current oSBP treatment goal according to European Society of Cardiology guidelines, and 58% achieving aSBP below 130 mmHg, the more stringent U.S. oSBP treatment goal according to American Heart Association and American College of Cardiology guidelines. Sustained reductions in aSBP were also observed through up to 3.6 years of follow-up in a sub-cohort of patients.
Previous report
Additional data presented from a pressure-volume loop analysis study in patients with uncontrolled hypertension indicated that AVIM Therapy reduced systolic blood pressure through decreases in cardiac preload and effective arterial elastance (afterload), without a significant reduction in left ventricular contractility. The study also reported reductions in end diastolic volume, end diastolic pressure, end systolic volume, stroke work, and total peripheral resistance, without a significant change in stroke volume.

FDA Grants Orchestra BioMed Additional Breakthrough Device Designation for AVIM Therapy
Previous report
We now hold two Breakthrough Device Designations (“BDDs”) for AVIM Therapy. On April 30, 2026, we announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) granted AVIM Therapy a second BDD for the treatment of patients with uncontrolled hypertension despite the use of anti-hypertensive medications and an indication for a pacemaker. This population includes the pacemaker-indicated population being evaluated in our BACKBEAT Trial. The first granted BDD applies to patients with increased ten-year atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (“ASCVD”) risk, preserved left ventricular systolic function, and uncontrolled hypertension, despite the use of anti-hypertensive medications or in patients who may have intolerance to anti-hypertensive medications. Based on the indications specified in both BDDs, we estimate that the addressable U.S. patient population for AVIM Therapy exceeds 7.7 million adults with hypertension despite medication. The FDA Breakthrough Devices Program, which reflects the FDA’s commitment to device innovation and protecting public health, is designed to expedite the development of and provide priority review for innovative medical technologies that have the potential to significantly improve outcomes for patients with serious or life-threatening conditions. To be eligible for this designation, a device must demonstrate the potential to provide more effective treatment or diagnosis of a life-threatening or irreversibly debilitating condition. In addition, the device must meet at least one of the following criteria: it must represent breakthrough technology, have no approved or cleared alternatives, offer significant advantages over existing options, or be determined by the FDA to be in the best interest of patients. Beyond regulatory acceleration, the BDD may also support favorable reimbursement pathways, including eligibility for incremental inpatient reimbursement through the New Technology Add-on Payment and outpatient Transitional Pass-Through payments under the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services programs. These mechanisms may help facilitate more timely access to breakthrough technologies while supporting provider adoption and patient access.

BACKBEAT Trial Timeline Update
Previous report
On May 11, 2026, we announced we are targeting completion of enrollment for the BACKBEAT Trial by the end of the third quarter of 2026. Further, we and Medtronic, our strategic collaborator for the BACKBEAT Trial and the commercialization of AVIM Therapy for the treatment of uncontrolled hypertension in patients indicated for a pacemaker, plan to submit the primary endpoint data for a late-breaking clinical trial presentation at a major cardiovascular conference in the second quarter of 2027. Lastly, assuming primary safety and efficacy endpoints are met, Medtronic plans to submit a marketing application for FDA approval after primary endpoint data analyses and reports are complete, and subsequently to pursue global regulatory approvals.
Previous report
The updated BACKBEAT Trial timeline is supported by FDA approval of a reduction in the sample size for the clinical trial to a target total of 284 evaluable randomized subjects with the total enrollment target of 316 patients accounting for potential loss to follow up. The primary efficacy endpoint (between-group difference in 24-hour aSBP at 3-month follow up) and primary safety endpoint (freedom from unanticipated serious adverse device events in the AVIM Therapy arm at 3-month follow up) remain robustly powered (>90% statistical power) at the revised sample size for the trial. The sample size is designed to detect a between group difference of at least 5 mmHg in aSBP. The change in sample size reflects collaboration among Medtronic, the FDA and us under the Breakthrough Devices program, and follows FDA approval of an amendment to the BACKBEAT Trial protocol received by us on May 8, 2026.

On July 31, 2025, we entered into a revenue participation right purchase and sale agreement (the “Royalty Purchase Agreement”) with Ligand Pharmaceuticals Incorporated (“Ligand”). Under the terms of the Royalty Purchase Agreement, in exchange for payment of $35.0 million (the “Investment Amount”), less certain reimbursable expenses, Ligand acquired the right to receive tiered royalty payments from us (the “Royalty Interest”) with respect to revenue (including certain licensing revenue) received by us in a calendar year in connection with worldwide net product sales, or other product revenue received by, by us and our licensees (“Annual Net Sales”) of (a) AVIM Therapy (the “Primary Product”) and (b) Virtue SAB (the “Secondary Product” and together with the Primary Product, the “Products”) in the field of coronary artery treatment. Our estimate of this total interest expense associated with the Royalty Interest resulted in an effective annual interest rate of approximately 23.3% as of March 31, 2026. This estimate contains significant assumptions that impact both the amount recorded at execution and the interest expense that will be recognized over the royalty period. We will periodically assess the estimated amounts due and payable to Ligand and to the extent the amount or timing of such payments is materially different than the original estimates, an adjustment will be recorded prospectively to increase or decrease interest expense. There are a number of factors that could materially affect the amount and timing of the royalty payments to be paid by us to Ligand and, correspondingly, the amount of interest expense recorded by us.

Based on internally prepared budget estimates that reflect our operating priorities, we anticipate that our cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, proceeds received subsequent to March 31, 2026 but prior to the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, are sufficient to fund our operations into the fourth quarter of 2027. The amount and timing of our future funding requirements may change from this current estimate and are dependent on many factors, including the cost and pace of execution of clinical studies and research and development activities, the strength of results from clinical studies and other research, development and manufacturing efforts. There are no assurances that any of these factors will be favorable to us, and we may need to seek additional sources of liquidity to meet our funding requirements earlier than current estimates, including the issuance of new equity, and/or other financing structures. In this regard, as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we may sell up to $92.4 million of shares of our common stock under the sales agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) we entered into with TD Securities (USA) LLC (“TD Cowen”) pursuant to which we may offer and sell, from time to time through TD Cowen, shares of our common stock by any method permitted by law and deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) promulgated under the Securities Act.
