Current report

The Phase 1 open-label, multicenter trial of STRO-004 is designed to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary anti-tumor activity of STRO-004 in patients with advanced TF-expressing solid tumors, including non-small cell lung cancer, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, cervical cancer, colorectal cancer, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, endometrial cancer, and bladder cancer. The dose-escalation phase includes multiple cohorts with ascending dose levels, supported by strong tolerability in non-human primates at up to 50 mg/kg. Dosing of patients in the dose level 2 cohort was completed and dosing of patients in the dose level 3 cohort was initiated in February 2026. We expect to report initial preliminary data, including safety and pharmacokinetic data, from this trial in mid-2026.

Comparison of the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025, and 2024

Previous report

Total revenue increased by $43.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024. This was primarily due to a $56.1 million increase from Ipsen, which included the derecognition of $53.2 million in deferred revenue resulting from Ipsen's strategic decision not to advance the STRO-003 program under its partnership with us, and a $2.9 million increase in manufacturing activities supporting clinical trial supply. These increases were partially offset by an $9.9 million decrease from Astellas, of which $9.6 million related to ongoing performance on partially unsatisfied performance obligations, including a $5.7 million cumulative catch-up adjustment due to a change in transaction price reflecting a $7.5 million contingent payment earned in the first quarter of 2025 for the initiation by Astellas of the first IND-enabling toxicology study under the Astellas Agreement. An additional $2.5 million decrease was from the financing component under the Astellas Agreement, partially offset by a $2.2 million increase in research and development services and materials supply. Revenue also decreased by $1.6 million from Vaxcyte, and $0.9 million from Tasly, both related to research and development services and materials supply.

Previous report

Research and development expense decreased by $51.2 million, or 28%, during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The overall decrease was due primarily to decreases of $19.7 million in preclinical research and clinical development expenses, $14.2 million in outside services, $12.3 million in personnel-related expenses, $2.6 million in laboratory supplies, $2.2 million in allocated facilities and IT-related expenses, and $0.2 million in travel-related expenses. Following the implementation of the Restructuring Plans, we began reporting restructuring costs and other costs associated with the deprioritized luvelta program under "Restructuring and related costs" in our interim condensed financial statements.

Previous report

General and administrative expense decreased by $7.1 million, or 18%, during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The overall decrease was due primarily to decreases of $5.7 million in personnel-related expenses, $1.7 million in outside services, $0.3 million in equipment and office-related expenses, and $0.3 million in travel-related expenses, partially offset by an increase of $0.8 million in allocated facilities and IT-related expenses. Some general and administrative expenses previously recorded under this category are now reported under "Restructuring and related costs" in our interim condensed financial statements following the implementation of our Restructuring Plans.

Previous report

Additionally, for nine months ended September 30, 2025, we recognized severance and benefits expense of $1.7 million from the September 2025 Restructuring Plan.

Previous report

Interest and other income (expense), net, decreased by $29.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to a $32.1 million gain on the sale of Vaxcyte common stock recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and a $0.2 million increase from foreign exchange fluctuations, partially offset by a $2.6 million decrease from the financing component related to the Astellas Agreement,.

Reworded paragraphs (34)

Previous wording

We are an oncology company developing site-specific and novel-format antibody drug conjugates, or ADCs, enabled by our proprietary integrated cell-free protein synthesis platform, XpressCF®, and our site-specific conjugation platform, XpressCF+®. We aim to design and develop therapeutics using the most relevant and potent modalities, including ADCs, bispecific ADCs, and dual-payload ADCs, which include immunostimulatory ADCs, or iADCs. Our molecules are directed primarily against clinically validated targets where the current standard of care is suboptimal. We believe that our platform allows us to accelerate the discovery and development of potential first-in-class and/or best-in-class molecules by enabling the rapid and systematic evaluation of protein structure-activity relationships to create optimized homogeneous product candidates. Our mission is to transform the lives of patients by creating medicines with improved therapeutic profiles for areas of unmet need.

Previous wording

In March 2025, the Board of Directors approved a strategic portfolio review, or the March 2025 Restructuring Plan, with an associated planned reduction in our workforce, as a result of a review of current strategic priorities, resource allocation, and cost reduction intended to reduce operating costs, streamline operations and extend our cash runway. In connection with this March 2025 Restructuring Plan, we deprioritized further investment in our late stage clinical development product candidate, luveltamab tazevibulin, and refocused our activities on our preclinical pipeline, including STRO-004 and STRO-006. In addition, we intend to decommission our San Carlos manufacturing facility by the end of 2025 and rely on an external manufacturing strategy, in which all elements of our product candidates and platform reagents are manufactured by qualified third-party CMOs. In September 2025, we announced a further reduction in our workforce of approximately one third of our remaining employees, or the September 2025 Restructuring Plan, and, together with the March 2025 Restructuring Plan, the Restructuring Plans, which was intended to further reduce operating costs, streamline operations, and extend our cash runway.

In connection with this March 2025 Restructuring Plan, we deprioritized further investment in our late stage clinical development product candidate, luveltamab tazevibulin, which development has been terminated, and refocused our activities on our clinical and preclinical pipeline, including STRO-004, STRO-227, and STRO-006. In addition, in 2025, we made the strategic decision to cease operations at our San Carlos manufacturing facility and rely on an external manufacturing strategy, in which all elements of our product candidates and platform reagents are manufactured by qualified third-party CMOs. We have identified a contract manufacturing organization, or CMO, to serve as our strategic partner for the production of cell-free extract and have initiated and completed technology transfer to this CMO. Similarly, we have identified a CMO to produce custom reagents used in our cell-free production and have initiated and completed this technology transfer as well. Given the success of these technology transfers, we wound down our manufacturing activities in our San Carlos facility and expect to exit the facility completely in 2026 upon expiration of our leases.

Previous wording

We do not have any products approved for commercial sale and have not generated any revenue from commercial product sales. We had a loss from operations of $120.3 million and a net loss of $144.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. We had a loss from operations of $173.2 million and a net loss of $155.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Substantially all of our losses have resulted from expenses incurred in connection with our research and development programs and from general and administrative costs associated with our operations. We cannot assure you that we will have net income or that we will generate positive cash flow from operating activities in the future. As of September 30, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $931.2 million. We do not expect to generate any revenue from commercial product sales unless and until we successfully complete development and obtain regulatory approval for one or more of our product candidates, which we expect will take a number of years. If we obtain regulatory approval for any of our product candidates, we expect to incur significant commercialization expenses related to product sales, access, marketing, manufacturing and distribution. We expect a reduction in operating expenses as we strategically reprioritize our resources. However, we anticipate our operating expenses would increase if we advance our product candidates through clinical development, seek regulatory approvals for our product candidates, engage in other research and development activities, expand our pipeline of product candidates, maintain and expand our intellectual property portfolio, seek regulatory and marketing approval for any product candidates that we may develop, acquire or in-license other assets or technologies, ultimately establish a sales, marketing and distribution infrastructure to commercialize any products for which we may obtain marketing approval, and operate as a public company. In light of our current resources and the cost of development, we are continuing our process of evaluating our programs and spending. Our net losses may fluctuate significantly from quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year, depending on the timing of our clinical trials, our expenditures on other research and development and general and administrative activities, and the timing of achievement and receipt of upfront, milestones and other collaboration agreement payments.
