Current report
We initiated this Phase 1 trial in November 2025 at U.S.-only sites. The trial includes heavily pretreated patients (median of 3 prior lines of therapy [range 1–7]) across eight tumor types unselected for TF expression. In pancreatic and colorectal cancer patients, 100% of patients received one or more prior irinotecan-containing regimens, which has been associated with reduced activity of topoisomerase 1 inhibitor payloads.
Current report
Key observations as of the data cutoff date of July 24, 2026 for this trial include:
Current report
Multiple responses, including confirmed and ongoing unconfirmed partial responses, across three tumor types in RECIST-evaluable patients to date; including pancreatic cancer, head and neck cancer, and non-small cell lung cancer at the 3 and 4 mg/kg dose levels.

Current report
STRO-004 has demonstrated a half-life of nearly seven days, preserving 98% DAR8 configuration, while free exatecan concentration remains low, delayed, and formation-limited.
Current report
We expect to provide the next update on STRO-004 development in the first half of 2027. Further, we expect to initiate expansion cohorts in one or more of the indications of interest in the first half of 2027.
Current report
Total revenue decreased by $53.9 million, or 85%, during the three months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025. This was primarily due to a $56.0 million decrease from Ipsen, which included the derecognition of $53.2 million in deferred revenue as a result of Ipsen's strategic decision not to advance the STRO-003 program under its partnership with us, and a $2.7 million decrease in manufacturing activities supporting clinical trial supply. These decreases were partially offset by a $2.2 million increase from Astellas, related to a $3.8 million net increase in research and development services and materials supply, partially offset by a $1.2 million decrease in ongoing performance on partially unsatisfied performance obligations under the Astellas Agreement, and a $0.3 million decrease from the financing component under the Astellas Agreement.
Current report
Research and development expense decreased by $6.6 million, or 17%, during the three months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025. The overall decrease was due primarily to decreases of $5.8 million in personnel-related expenses, $3.2 million in allocated facilities and IT-related expenses, $2.7 million in laboratory supplies, and $0.2 million in equipment and office-related expenses, partially offset by a $4.0 million increase in preclinical research and clinical development expenses and a $1.3 million increase in outside services. Following the implementation of the March 2025 Restructuring Plan, 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.
Current report
General and administrative expense decreased by $2.5 million, or 24%, during the three months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025. The overall decrease was due primarily to decreases of $2.1 million in personnel-related expenses, $0.1 million in outside services, $0.1 million in allocated facilities and IT-related expenses, $0.1 million in travel-related expenses, and $0.1 million in equipment and office-related expenses.

Previous wording
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.

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. In August 2026, we reported encouraging early clinical activity including confirmed and unconfirmed partial responses with favorable safety and pharmacokinetics (PK) observed in ongoing Phase 1 trial, and that dose optimization continues between 4-5 mg/kg with the maximum tolerated dose yet to be defined.
Previous wording
Our preclinical assets include STRO-227 and STRO-006. STRO-006 is an ADC targeting Integrinß6, or ITGß6. We believe STRO-006 has the potential to be a best-in-class ADC targeting ITGß6 based on preclinical studies that have demonstrated potent antitumor activity and the potential for a differentiated safety profile. IND-enabling activities are underway for STRO-006 that could potentially support an IND submission in connection with this program in 2026.

We believe STRO-006 has the potential to be a best-in-class ADC targeting ITGB6 based on preclinical studies that have demonstrated potent antitumor activity and the potential for a differentiated safety profile. We expect to initiate a Phase 1 clinical trial in connection with STRO-006 in the third quarter of 2026.
Previous wording
STRO-227 is our first wholly-owned dual-payload ADC, targeting Protein Tyrosine Kinase 7, or PTK7. This approach incorporates two distinct cytotoxic payloads, one that is designed to inhibit tubulin and another that is designed to inhibit topoisomerase. We have initiated certain chemistry, manufacturing and controls, or CMC, related activities for the PTK7-targeting dual-payload ADC and anticipate submitting an IND in connection with this program in late 2026.

In March 2025, our 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 its 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, 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.

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 $29.7 million and a net loss of $38.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026. We had a loss from operations of $68.5 million and a net loss of $76.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. 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 March 31, 2026, we had an accumulated deficit of $1,016.4 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 as 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.

Our net loss of $76.0 million included non-cash amounts of $9.3 million for non-cash interest expense on our deferred royalty obligation, $5.5 million for stock-based compensation, $1.9 million for depreciation and amortization, $1.4 million for non-cash lease expense, and $1.1 million for the accretion of discount on marketable securities. Cash used in operating activities also reflected a net change in operating assets and liabilities of $9.1 million, due to an increase of $4.9 million in accounts receivable primarily due to a $7.5 million receivable from Astellas for their initiation of an IND-enabling toxicology study for the first program in our collaboration with Astellas, which was partially offset by a decrease in accounts receivable from our other collaborators, a decrease of $4.7 million in deferred revenue primarily due to revenue recognized under the Astellas Agreement, a decrease of $1.7 million in our operating lease liability, and a decrease of $1.3 million in accrued compensation expense primarily due to bonuses paid in 2025 in connection with certain company 2024 goal achievements, which was partially offset by an increase in severance and benefits obligations under the Restructuring Plan. The decrease in operating assets and liabilities were partially offset by an increase of $3.7 million in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities due to timing of payments.

Cash used in operating activities also reflected a net change in operating assets and liabilities of $59.7 million, due to a decrease of $63.4 million in deferred revenue resulting from Ipsen's strategic decision not to advance the STRO-003 program under its partnership with us, a decrease of $5.7 million in accounts payable due to timing of payments, a decrease of $3.6 million in operating lease liabilities, and a decrease of $1.1 million in accrued compensation primarily due to severance payments made under the Restructuring Plan, partially offset by an increase of $7.1 million in accrued expenses and other liabilities due primarily to increases in CMO restructuring costs as a result of the deprioritization of luvelta, and a decrease of $6.4 million in prepaid expenses and other assets due to a decrease in clinical trials and CMO-related activities as a result of the deprioritization of STRO-002.

We do not expect significant restructuring expenses in future periods for the deprioritization of the luvelta program and related costs. The ultimate amount of expense will be affected by the timing to complete our cost commitments to our third-party CROs and CMOs and the full wind-down of the clinical trials. We will revise our estimates for the costs to deprioritize these studies for the luvelta program as new information becomes available to us in future periods.
