Current report

The Company’s neoadjuvant development strategy is also informed by investigator-sponsored studies evaluating BOT/BAL in additional colon cancer populations. NEOASIS contributes to the broader clinical rationale for evaluating short-course BOT/BAL before surgery, although its dMMR colon cancer cohort is biologically distinct from the MSS population planned for ROBBIN.

Current report

On October 25, 2026, the Company announced results presented at the European Society for Medical Oncology (“ESMO”) Congress 2026 from the mismatch repair-deficient (“dMMR”) colon cancer cohort of NEOASIS, an investigator-initiated, single-center Phase 2 study sponsored by the Netherlands Cancer Institute. Among 18 patients with locally advanced, non-metastatic, resectable disease, six weeks of neoadjuvant BOT/BAL resulted in an 83% major pathologic response rate, meeting the cohort’s primary endpoint, and a 72% pathologic complete response rate. All patients underwent surgery. Immune-related adverse events were predominantly Grade 1 or 2, with one Grade 3 colitis event that resolved with treatment. One patient underwent surgery earlier than planned because of ileus. At a median follow-up of 15 months, all patients were alive and 16 of 18 remained free of recurrence. These findings are preliminary and relate to a biologically distinct population from the MSS population planned for ROBBIN.

Current report

Sarcoma data published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology in January 2025 showed a 19.2% objective response rate among 52 efficacy-evaluable patients, including 27.8% among 18 patients with angiosarcoma, and median duration of response of 21.7 months in the overall efficacy-evaluable population.

Current report

Updated results from the ovarian cancer cohort of the Phase 1b C-800-01 study, presented at the International Gynecologic Cancer Society Annual Global Meeting in October 2026, showed estimated three-year overall survival of 48% among 35 efficacy-evaluable patients, unchanged from the two-year estimate. The objective response rate was 23%, and median overall survival was 14.8 months. Patients had received a median of four prior lines of therapy, and approximately three-quarters had platinum-resistant or refractory disease. At last follow-up, 11 of all 44 treated patients (25%) were alive and off all therapy. No new safety signals or treatment-related deaths were reported.

Previous report

Refractory MSS metastatic colorectal cancer without active liver metastases remains our lead regulatory development focus in the metastatic setting. Based on existing data, we intend during 2026 to seek Accelerated Approval in the United States and Conditional Marketing Authorization in the European Union for BOT/BAL in that indication. There can be no assurance that either submission will be made on the anticipated timeline, that either will be accepted for review, or that either will result in approval or authorization, and the requirements applicable to each pathway, including any requirement for a confirmatory trial, are subject to the discretion of the applicable regulatory authority.
Reworded paragraphs (35)

Previous wording

Our primary business is immuno-oncology ("I-O"), where we are advancing antibody-based programs to activate innate and adaptive immunity, overcome tumor immune evasion and expand the population of patients who may benefit from immunotherapy. Our lead clinical program is BOT, a multifunctional, Fc-enhanced anti-CTLA-4 antibody, alone and in combination with BAL, a fully human monoclonal IgG4 anti-PD-1 antibody. BOT is designed to prime and activate T cells, downregulate intratumoral regulatory T cells, activate myeloid cells and induce long-term memory responses, with the goal of extending immunotherapy benefit to “cold” tumors that generally respond poorly to standard of care and to conventional PD-1 and CTLA-4 therapies. BAL is designed to block PD-1 from interacting with PD-L1 and PD-L2. BOT/BAL is investigational and has not been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) or authorized for commercial sale in the European Union or any other jurisdiction.

Strategic Prioritization of Neoadjuvant BOT/BAL in MSS Colon Cancer

Current wording

Strategic Prioritization of Neoadjuvant BOT/BAL in Colon Cancer

Previous wording

ROBBIN is a planned global randomized Phase 3 trial evaluating neoadjuvant BOT/BAL followed by standard of care versus standard of care alone in previously untreated high-risk Stage II and Stage III MSS colon cancer. The ROBBIN trial will enroll 850 patients, randomized 1:1, with event free survival (“EFS”) as its primary endpoint. Following interactions with the FDA, key elements of the proposed ROBBIN Phase 3 trial design, including patient population, experimental regimen, control arm, primary endpoint, and interim analysis plan, have been informed by FDA feedback.

Current wording

ROBBIN is a planned global randomized Phase 3 trial evaluating neoadjuvant BOT/BAL followed by standard of care versus standard of care alone in previously untreated high-risk Stage II and Stage III MSS colon cancer. The ROBBIN trial is expected to enroll approximately 850 patients, randomized 1:1, with event free survival (“EFS”) as its primary endpoint. Following interactions with the FDA, key elements of the proposed ROBBIN Phase 3 trial design, including patient population, experimental regimen, control arm, primary endpoint, and interim analysis plan, have been informed by FDA feedback.

Previous wording

The clinical rationale for ROBBIN is derived from NEST and UNICORN, two independent investigator-sponsored Phase 2 studies evaluating neoadjuvant BOT/BAL in MSS colorectal cancer. Across those studies, BOT/BAL produced pathologic response in approximately 60% to 70% of patients, major pathologic response in approximately 35% to 40% of patients, and pathologic complete response in approximately 30% of patients. Deep pathologic responses in the neoadjuvant setting are positively correlated with event-free survival in many tumor types, including MSS colon cancer. With median follow-up of approximately 9 to 18 months, all treated patients remained disease free, and circulating tumor DNA clearance was observed during treatment. NEST and UNICORN were small studies. Neither included a comparison arm, and neither was designed to determine whether BOT/BAL reduces the risk of recurrence. ROBBIN is intended to address that question. Further details from both studies are anticipated to be published in the second half of 2026.

At median follow-up of approximately 23.5 months for NEST 1, 32.2 months for NEST 2 and 19.2 months for UNICORN MSS cohort, all treated patients remained disease free, and circulating tumor DNA clearance was observed during treatment. NEST and UNICORN were small studies. Neither included a comparison arm, and neither was designed to determine whether BOT/BAL reduces the risk of recurrence. The Phase 3 ROBBIN study is designed to evaluate whether neoadjuvant BOT/BAL improves event free survival compared with standard of care alone. Results from NEST and UNICORN were published in Clinical Cancer Research and Nature Medicine, respectively.

Previous wording

Previously reported data include the following. In our randomized Phase 2 trial reported at the American Society of Clinical Oncology Gastrointestinal Cancers Symposium in January 2025, the BOT 75 mg plus BAL regimen achieved a 19% objective response rate and a 55% disease control rate in heavily pretreated patients with refractory MSS metastatic colorectal cancer without active liver metastases, with no objective responses observed in the control arm. Pan-tumor data from more than 400 heavily pretreated patients in the Phase 1b C-800-01 study, presented in October 2025, showed approximately 39% two-year overall survival and median overall survival of 17.2 months across multiple tumor types. Sarcoma data published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology in January 2025 (n=52) showed a 19.2% overall response rate, with 27.8% in angiosarcoma. Ovarian cancer data published in the Journal for ImmunoTherapy of Cancer in December 2025 showed a 23% overall response rate and 14.8 months median overall survival in heavily pretreated patients.

Based on our current operating plan and projections, including scheduled debt payments in the look-forward period (the majority of which is secured by certain real estate properties), we believe our existing cash and cash equivalents, together with the net proceeds from the Private Placement, are expected to fund operations and capital expenditure requirements into the third quarter of 2027, assuming no exercise of the Series A or Series B Warrants. That plan reflects anticipated revenues from our early access programs and scheduled debt payments in the look-forward period. If all such warrants are exercised for cash, the Company expects these resources to fund operations through year-end 2031. Advancing our planned registration and commercialization strategy for BOT/BAL, and funding the Company through achievement of profitability, will require additional capital.

Our future cash requirements include, but are not limited to, supporting clinical trial and regulatory efforts and continuing our other research and development programs. Since inception, we have entered into various agreements with contract manufacturers, institutions, and clinical research organizations (collectively “third party providers”) to perform pre-clinical activities and to conduct and monitor our clinical studies and trials. Under these agreements, subject to the enrollment of patients and performance by the applicable third-party provider, we have estimated our total payments to be $690.7 million over the term of the related activities. Through June 30, 2026, we have expensed $630.5 million as research and development expenses and $593.4 million has been paid under these agreements.
