confirming previous observations of certepetide’s benign safety profile. Final data and key findings from both cohorts of the ASCEND study are anticipated to be available later this year.

Current report

For the three months ended June 30, 2025, revenue totaled $70 thousand in connection with an upfront license fee related to a research license agreement. We did not have any revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2024.

Current report

•General and administrative expenses were approximately $2.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $2.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, representing a decrease of $0.2 million or 8.1%.

Previous report

Clinically, certepetide was the subject of a completed Phase 1b/2a trial inclusive of 31 first-line mPDAC patients, of which 29 were evaluable. Results from the trial showed that the safety profile of the certepetide combination regimen was similar to standard of care (“SoC”) chemotherapy alone, with certepetide being well-tolerated with no dose limiting toxicities. An Objective Response Rate (“ORR”) of 59% was observed, compared to the 23% ORR observed in the “MPACT” clinical trial that served as the basis for approval of the chemotherapy combination nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine for the treatment of first line mPDAC (Von Hoff, et al. 2013). A Disease Control Rate (“DCR”) (partial and complete responses plus stable disease) of over 79% was also observed in comparison to a DCR of 48% observed in the MPACT trial. Reduction in the level of circulating tumor biomarker CA19-9 was observed in 96% of patients versus 61% in the MPACT trial. Importantly, median progression-free survival and median overall survival of nearly ten months and over thirteen months were observed versus less than six months and less than nine months, respectively, in the MPACT trial. These results have been published in The Lancet Gastroenterology and Hepatology (Dean, et al. 2022).

Previous wording

Certepetide is an investigational drug that actuates the CendR active transport mechanism. Certepetide has been shown to modify the TME, making it less immunosuppressive and thereby making the tumor more susceptible to attack by the immune system while also inhibiting the metastatic cascade. It targets tumor vasculature, endothelial cells, tumor cells and some intratumoral immunosuppressive cells by its selective affinity for alpha-v beta-3 and alpha-v beta-5 integrins that are upregulated on these cells. Certepetide is a nine amino acid cyclic proprietary internalizing RGD (“iRGD”) peptide that, once bound to these integrins, undergoes proteolytic cleavage to release a linear peptide fragment, called a CendR peptide fragment. After dissociation from the integrin receptor, the CendR peptide fragment then binds with high selectivity and affinity to an adjacent receptor, called neuropilin-1, also upregulated in solid tumors, to activate the novel uptake pathway that allows circulating anticancer drugs to more selectively and effectively penetrate solid tumors. The ability of certepetide and iRGD peptides to modify the TME to enhance delivery and efficacy of co-administered drugs has been demonstrated in many preclinical models in a range of solid tumors. Lisata, its collaborators, and research groups around the world have published more than 370 scientific papers related to the benefits of internalizing RGD peptides and the CendR pathway.

Certepetide was also examined in another Phase 1b/2a study in first line mPDAC patients. Study CEND1-201 was conducted in China by our development partner, Qilu Pharmaceutical. Two dose levels of certepetide (1.6 and 3.2 mg/kg) were combined with SoC chemotherapy (gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel). There were 55 patients in the study, 53 of whom were evaluable for efficacy. Twenty-five (25) patients were treated with 1.6 mg/kg certepetide, and 28 patients with 3.2 mg/kg certepetide. In the 1.6 mg/kg certepetide group, partial response occurred in 11/25 (44.0%) patients, and stable disease occurred in 12/25 (48%) patients. In the 3.2 mg/kg certepetide group, partial response occurred in 11/28 (39.3%) patients, and stable disease occurred in 12/28 (42.9%) patients. The ORR was 41.5% for all doses. The ORR was 44.0% and 39.3% in 1.6 mg/kg group and in 3.2 mg/kg group, respectively. The DCR was 86.8% for all doses. The DCR in 1.6 and 3.2 mg/kg groups was 92.0% and 82.1%, respectively. The median PFS was 5.82 months for all doses combined. The median PFS was 7.36 months and 5.75 months in 1.6 mg/kg group and in 3.2 mg/kg group, respectively. The median OS was 11.10 months for all doses combined. The median OS was 10.35 months and 11.10 months in 1.6 mg/kg group and in 3.2 mg/kg group, respectively. The adverse event profile at both dose levels was similar to that for SoC alone. Qilu has completed Phase 2 enrollment (n=96) in first line mPDAC in combination with SoC gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel.

Current wording

Clinically, certepetide has been the subject of multiple Phase 1 and Phase 2 trials. These recent studies include a Phase 1b/2a study in first line mPDAC patients. Study CEND1-201 was conducted in China by our development partner, Qilu Pharmaceutical. Two dose levels of certepetide (1.6 and 3.2 mg/kg) were combined with SoC chemotherapy (gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel). There were 55 patients in the study, 53 of whom were evaluable for efficacy.

Previous wording

Finally, certepetide is also the subject of a Phase 2 trial in first-line mPDAC patients, the ASCEND trial. ASCEND is being conducted in collaboration with the Australasian Gastrointestinal Clinical Trials Group (AGITG) and the University of Sydney at 25 sites in Australia and New Zealand. The Phase 2 double-blind, randomized (2:1), placebo-controlled, multi-center ASCEND trial is evaluating certepetide in combination with SoC chemotherapy (gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel) for the treatment of mPDAC. The original ASCEND protocol included one dosing scheme for certepetide. Following the acquisition of Cend Therapeutics and, by extension, certepetide in September 2022, Lisata collaborated with AGITG to amend the protocol to ensure it respected international regulatory standards. Thus, endpoints typically recognized by regulators as primary in registration studies and more effective in guiding next stages of clinical development (e.g., overall survival), were added. The amended protocol was designed to assess the efficacy of two different dosing regimens of certepetide in two separate cohorts: Cohort A, with 95 patients receiving a single intravenous (IV) dose of certepetide 3.2 mg/kg or placebo in combination with SoC, and Cohort B, with 63 patients receiving two IV doses of certepetide 3.2 mg/kg or placebo administered 4 hours apart in combination with SoC. The preliminary data from Cohort A were reported at the ASCO GI meeting on January 24, 2025, demonstrating a median overall survival (mOS) of 12.68 months for the certepetide treated group, compared to 9.72 months for the placebo treated group. Despite a numerical trend in 6-month PFS favoring the certepetide treatment group, no significant improvement in median PFS was observed (mPFS of 5.5 months in both groups). However, the objective response rate (ORR) benefit are positive with 4/65 (6.2%) complete responses in the certepetide treated group, compared to 0/28 (0%) the placebo

However, the objective response rate (ORR) benefit is positive with 4/65 (6.2%) complete responses in the certepetide treated group, compared to 0/28 (0%) the placebo treated group. The preliminary data from Cohort B were presented at the ESMO-GI meeting in July 2025, demonstrating a six-month progression-free survival (“6MPFS”) of 60.8% for the certepetide-treated group, whereas the 6MPFS in the placebo-treated group was 25%. Median progression-free survival (“mPFS”) was 7.5 months for the certepetide-treated group and 4.7 months for the placebo-treated group. Objective response rate (“ORR”) was 45.2% for the certepetide-treated group and 19% for the placebo-treated group. Median overall survival (“mOS”) was 10.32 months for the certepetide-treated group compared to 9.23 months for the placebo-treated group. A comparison of the preliminary data from Cohorts A and B indicates that the addition of two doses of certepetide (Cohort B regimen) to SoC chemotherapy resulted in a clinically meaningful improvement in both PFS and ORR for patients with mPDAC. These clinically significant findings provide compelling support for the continued and expedited investigation of certepetide as a nov…
