Tivic Health Systems is changing its name to Valion Bio and ticker to VBIO on April 28, 2026, reflecting a strategic shift from consumer devices to a late-stage biopharmaceutical focus. Its lead drug, Entolimod™, targets Acute Radiation Syndrome with FDA Fast Track and Orphan Drug designations and is being pursued for inclusion in the U.S. Strategic National Stockpile, potentially generating significant government revenue.
