We are a clinical-stage immuno-oncology company specializing in the development of novel T cell-based immunotherapies for the treatment of hematological malignancies and solid tumor indications. Harnessing millions of years of immunologic evolution, Marker’s Multi-Antigen Recognizing (“MAR”)-T cell technology is designed to recognize and kill highly heterogeneous tumors without the need for genetic modifications. This approach selectively expands natural tumor-specific T cells from a patient’s/donor’s blood that are capable of recognizing a broad range of tumor associated antigens, or TAAs. Unlike other T cell therapies, MAR-T cells are able to recognize hundreds of different epitopes within up to six tumor-specific antigens to produce broad spectrum anti-tumor activity. Targeting multiple antigens simultaneously exploits the natural capacity of T cells to recognize and kill tumor targets via native T cell receptors (“TCR”), while limiting tumor adaptation/escape by antigen-negative selection or antigen down-regulation. When infused into a patient with cancer, MAR-T cells are designed to recognize and kill cancer cells expressing the TAA.

To date, we have not generated any revenues from the commercial sale of approved drug products, and we do not expect to generate substantial revenue for at least the next several years. If we fail to complete the development of our product candidates in a timely manner or fail to obtain their regulatory approval, our ability to generate future revenue will be compromised. We do not know when, or if, we will generate any revenue from our product candidates, and we do not expect to generate significant revenue unless and until we obtain regulatory approval of, and commercialize, our product candidates. Assuming the Company can continue to raise additional capital and obtain ongoing grant funding, of which there can be no assurances, we expect our expenses to increase in connection with our ongoing activities, particularly if we are able to expand patient enrollment as we continue the research and development of our product candidates and if we are able to successfully commence our pivotal trial for lymphoma, of which there can be no assurances. In addition, if we obtain approval for any of our product candidates, of which there can be no assurances, we expect to incur significant commercialization expenses related to sales, marketing, manufacturing and distribution. We anticipate that we will need substantial additional funding in connection with our continuing operations, of which there can be no assurances. If we are unable to raise capital when needed or on attractive terms, we could be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate our research and development programs or future commercialization efforts.

As of September 30, 2025, we had working capital of $18.4 million, compared to working capital of $18.6 million as of December 31, 2024.
