Exhibit 99.1
Enlivex Receives Notice of Allowance for Japanese Patent Application
Covering the Use of Allocetra™ in Patients with Osteoarthritis
Nes-Ziona, Israel, October 30, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Enlivex Therapeutics
Ltd. (Nasdaq: ENLV, the “Company”), a clinical-stage macrophage reprogramming immunotherapy company, today announced that
the Japanese Patent Office issued a notice of allowance for patent application number 2022-512861 titled “THERAPEUTIC APOPTOTIC
CELLS FOR TREATMENT OF OSTEOARTHRITIS”. Once issued, the resulting patent will provide Enlivex with added intellectual property
(IP) protection through at least 2040. The Company expects that this new patent will be formally issued in Japan by the end of the second
quarter of 2025.
Oren Hershkovitz, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of Enlivex, commented,
“this notice of allowance demonstrates our commitment to protecting Allocetra’s™ commercial opportunities in key geographies
around the world. We also believe that it highlights the successful execution of our global IP strategy. Going forward, we will continue
to pursue multiple layers of patent protection in key global markets as we work to develop Allocetra™ as a next generation cell
therapy for osteoarthritis, which is an unmet medical need that currently has poor treatment alternatives.”
ABOUT KNEE OSTEOARTHRITIS1
Osteoarthritis is by far the most common form of arthritis, affecting
more than 32.5 million Americans and more than 300 million individuals worldwide. About half of knees with ACL injuries develop osteoarthritis
within 5 to 15 years. 78 million Americans are projected to have osteoarthritis by the year 2040. Symptomatic knee osteoarthritis is particularly
prevalent and disabling, with 40% of men and 47% of women developing knee osteoarthritis in their lifetimes. Osteoarthritis accounts for
over one million hospitalizations annually in the United States, primarily for total joint replacement. The burden of osteoarthritis is
enormous, and the need for treatments that reduce pain and attendant disability for persons with osteoarthritis is critical. There are
currently no medications approved by either the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or the European Medicines Agency (EMA) that have
been demonstrated to arrest, slow or reverse progression of structural damage in the joint.
ABOUT ENLIVEX
Enlivex is a clinical stage macrophage reprogramming immunotherapy
company developing Allocetra™, a universal, off-the-shelf cell therapy designed to reprogram macrophages into their homeostatic
state. Resetting non-homeostatic macrophages into their homeostatic state is critical for immune system rebalancing and resolution of
life-threatening conditions. For more information, visit https://enlivex.com/.
