Callan JMB Inc. to Oversee Manufacturing and Quality Control of Attune Biotech's IND Clinical Trials for lodonal in the Treatment of Long COVID

SPRING BRANCH, Texas, March 11, 2026 -- Callan JMB Inc. (NASDAQ: CJMB), (“Callan JMB” or the “Company”), an integrative logistics company empowering the healthcare industry and emergency management agencies through fulfillment, storage, monitoring, and cold chain logistics services, today announced that it has agreed with Biostax Corp d/b/a Attune Biotech Inc. (“Attune”), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company with a diversified therapeutic pipeline, to support its investigational new drug clinical trials for the treatment of Post-Acute Sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (“PASC”), commonly known as Long COVID.

The Company previously announced in January 2026, that it had signed a strategic teaming agreement with Attune, whereby Callan JMB serves as independent third-party overseer of Attune's manufacturing, quality assurance and control, and deployment operations. Under this agreement, Callan JMB will provide the following services and oversight for IND 181314 for JKB-122 (lodonal

), including Contract Manufacturing Organization (CMO) qualification and validation, comprehensive batch record review, supply chain verification and integrity confirmation, surge manufacturing capacity assessment, and distribution pathway validation.

Attune has received notification that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has received and assigned Investigational New Drug (IND) application number 181314 for JKB-122 (lodonal

) for treatment of Long COVID, which remains a condition for which no FDA-approved therapies are currently indicated. Patients of Long COVID are currently underserved, with approximately 20 million Americans estimated to be living with Long COVID or persistent post-COVID symptoms . In addition, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has issued formal guidance titled “Long COVID as a Disability Under the ADA, Section 504, and Section 1557” (last reviewed July 2025), confirming that Long COVID may qualify as a disability under federal civil rights statutes where symptoms substantially limit major life activities.

“When we signed the agreement with Attune at the beginning of the year, we were excited by the potential that several of their products demonstrate to address conditions that remain significantly underserved, such as Long COVID,” said Wayne Williams, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Callan JMB. “This is the latest step in the development of their product pipeline, and we are proud to serve as the overseer of their manufacturing and governance. The development of these types of products is critical to addressing these underserved conditions, and with our experience managing federal health programs, we can help accelerate this work efficiently while ensuring compliance with federal regulations.”

“Our partnership with Callan JMB is essential to the work we are doing, ensuring that we meet the stringent guidelines set out by the federal government, as we undergo this next phase in the development of lodonal

for the treatment of Long COVID,” said Noreen Griffin, Chief Executive Officer of Attune. “With their long-standing federal relationships and experience as well as proven operational framework, Callan JMB is uniquely suited to support the continued advancement of our development pipeline and the launch of upcoming clinical trials.”
