Current report
Research and development expenses decreased $7.9 million and was primarily attributable to a $5.2 million decrease in laboratory supplies, research materials and studies driven by the timing in the purchase of supplies and consumables. There was also a $1.0 million decrease in facility-related expenses related to the timing of tenant improvements at the 830 Winter Street expansion space. Clinical expenses decreased by $0.8 million and personnel expenses decreased by $0.5 million in connection with our strategic decision in November 2025 to prioritize the clinical development of our heme program, upon which we paused enrollment in the solid tumor Phase 1 trial and reduced our headcount. Research and development expenses included non-cash stock compensation expense of $1.2 million and $1.7 million for the first quarter of 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Current report
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, no net cash was provided by or used in financing activities.

Previous report
We are a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on developing a robust pipeline of T cell receptor (TCR)-engineered T cell, or TCR-T, therapies for the treatment of patients with cancer. Our approach is based on the central premise that we can learn from patients who are winning their fight against cancer to treat those who are not. Over the past several years, we have built our ImmunoBank, a repository of therapeutic TCRs that recognize diverse targets and are associated with multiple human leukocyte antigen (HLA) types. We then use these TCRs to manufacture enhanced TCR-Ts to treat a broad population of patients with both hematologic (heme) and solid tumor malignancies. Every TCR in our ImmunoBank has come from our proprietary platform technologies, and we are continuing to expand our ImmunoBank.

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act was enacted (the "OBBBA"). The OBBBA includes significant changes to U.S. tax law, including changes to the IRC Section 174, mandatory research and development capitalization. The impact of the changes to the Company are being analyzed, while regulations and guidance from the Department of Treasury are forthcoming.

Previous report
On November 3, 2025, following our alignment with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on the registrational path forward for the TSC-101 program, we made the strategic decision to prioritize clinical development of our heme program and pause further enrollment in our solid tumor Phase 1 trial, while focusing our preclinical efforts on in vivo engineering for solid tumors and target discovery in autoimmunity. Pursuant to this strategy, we also implemented a workforce reduction of approximately 30%, or 66 roles.

Previous wording
Our lead product candidate, TSC-101, is in development for the treatment of patients with heme malignancies, such as acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), who are undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). TSC-101 is designed to eliminate residual disease and promote complete donor chimerism, thereby preventing relapse. TSC-101 targets HA-2, which is a minor histocompatibility antigen that is present on all blood cells, malignant or benign. We are currently conducting a Phase 1 clinical study of TSC-101, the ALLOHA™ Phase 1 heme trial (NCT05473910). During the fourth quarter of 2025, following a productive End-of-Phase 1 meeting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), we reached agreement on a registrational path forward for the TSC-101 program as a potential treatment for AML and MDS. The pivotal study will mirror our ongoing Phase 1 study, using a biologically-assigned internal control arm to support relapse-free survival as the primary endpoint.

The product is designed to eliminate residual disease and promote complete donor chimerism, thereby preventing relapse. TSC-101 targets HA-2, an antigen that is present on all blood cells, malignant or benign, in patients with the HLA type A*02:01.

Previous wording
We plan to further expand our heme program with the addition of TCRs targeting other HLA types. TSC-102-A0301 and TSC-102-A0101 are allogeneic, donor derived TCR-T therapy candidates targeting epitopes derived from CD45. Like TSC-101, these candidates are designed to eliminate residual cancer cells and prevent relapse in patients undergoing HCT. TSC-102-A0301 and TSC-102-A0101 are designed for patients with HLA types A03:01 and A01:01, respectively.

TSC-102-A01 and TSC-102-A03 are allogeneic, donor-derived TCR-T therapy candidates targeting epitopes derived from CD45.

Previous wording
We are also developing multiple TCR-T therapy candidates for the treatment of solid tumors. One of the challenges of treating solid tumors is that they are heterogeneous – not every tumor cell expresses a given target and some tumor cells lose half their HLA genes. To address this challenge, we have developed what we refer to as multiplex TCR-T in which we treat a patient with more than one TCR-T therapy product candidate at a time. We designed these multiplex treatments to be a simultaneous administration of up to three highly active TCR-Ts, selected from our ImmunoBank, that are customized for each patient based on which targets are expressed in their tumors. We are currently engaged in preclinical development of lentiviral-based agents that enable in vivo engineering of T cells using the TCRs in our ImmunoBank.

We are also in early stages of developing methods to engineer TCR-T cellsin vivo to treat solid tumors. One of the challenges of treating solid tumors is that they are heterogeneous – not every tumor cell expresses a given target. To address this challenge, we are developing what we refer to as multiplex TCR-T therapy, in which we treat a patient with more than one TCR-T therapy product candidate at a time. We are designing these multiplex therapies to be a simultaneous administration of up to three highly active TCR-Ts that are customized for each patient based on which targets are expressed in their tumors. We believe anin vivo approach represents a promising and cost-efficient way to deliver off-the-shelf, multiplexed TCR-T therapy for solid tumors.

While primarily focused on oncology, we believe our TargetScan technology is well suited to identify unknown targets that cause T cell-driven autoimmune disorders. We have identified a set of indications in which T cells play a key role and are currently identifying targets and developing potential treatment options for these disorders. Initial indications include ankylosing spondylitis, ulcerative colitis and scleroderma. In addition, the Company is continuing to discover targets for Crohn's disease in partnership with Amgen.
