SOLANA BEACH, Calif., April 7, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Artelo Biosciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: ARTL), a clinical‑stage pharmaceutical company focused on modulating lipid‑signaling pathways to develop treatments for people living with cancer, pain, dermatological, or neurological conditions, today announced that it has received a letter from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) confirming that the Company has regained compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), the “Equity Rule,” and Listing Rule 5620(a), the “Annual Shareholders Meeting Rule.”
Nasdaq further confirmed that, based on the Company’s Form 8-K filed January 30, 2026, the Company held its reconvened annual meeting on that date and, based on the Company’s Form 8-K filed March 30, 2026, the Company regained compliance with the Equity Rule. In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5815(d)(4)(B), the Company will be subject to a mandatory panel monitor for a period of one year from the date of the letter.
“We are pleased to have regained compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements,” said Gregory D. Gorgas, President and Chief Executive Officer of Artelo Biosciences. “With this matter behind us, we remain focused on disciplined execution across our portfolio, including progressing potential partnership negotiations with ART27.13 boosted by the encouraging Phase 2 CAReS interim data suggesting its potential for mitigating or reversing the effects of cancer anorexia-cachexia syndrome.”
ART27.13 is also under investigation in an externally funded Phase 2 study as an orally administered agent for the treatment of glaucoma. Artelo’s second clinical stage investigational drug and the first product candidate derived from our FABP5 inhibitor platform, ART26.12 is advancing as a non-opioid and non-scheduled drug for the treatment of neuropathic pain.
“As we continue to advance our pipeline with a focus on high-value indications and capital-efficient development, we believe Artelo is well-positioned to unlock meaningful long-term value for shareholders,” added Gorgas
