Current report

In October 2024, the Company completed enrollment in its HARMONi clinical trial. In May 2025, we announced topline results from our multiregional, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, Phase III study HARMONi. At the prespecified primary data analysis, ivonescimab in combination with chemotherapy demonstrated a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in progression-free survival (PFS), with a hazard ratio of 0.52 (95% CI: 0.41 – 0.66; p<0.00001). PFS was measured by blinded independent central radiology review committee (BICR) compared to placebo in combination with chemotherapy.

Current report

A clinically meaningful hazard ratio was observed in both Asia and ex-Asia sub-populations. The primary analysis demonstrated the consistency of the magnitude of the PFS benefit between patients randomized in Asia and ex-Asia, as well as the consistency in a single-region study (HARMONi-A) with this multiregional study. Ivonescimab in combination with chemotherapy showed a positive trend in overall survival (OS) in the primary analysis without achieving a statistically significant benefit with a hazard ratio of 0.79 (95% CI: 0.62 – 1.01; p=0.057). This trend provides further support for its use in 2L+ EGFRm NSCLC, a setting where high unmet need continues to exist with limited approved options in the United States and other western territories. Currently there are no current FDA-approved regimens that have demonstrated a statistically significant overall survival benefit in this patient setting. Both Asian and North American patients demonstrated a positive trend in overall survival. The results of the primary analysis in this multiregional study were consistent with that of the single-region HARMONi-A study, which demonstrated an overall survival hazard ratio of 0.80 at 52% data maturity in a similar patient population.

Current report

The safety profile of ivonescimab in combination with chemotherapy was acceptable and manageable in the context of the observed clinical benefit. Based on the results of the HARMONi clinical trial, Summit, at present time, intends to file a Biologics License Application (BLA) in order to seek approval for ivonescimab plus chemotherapy in this setting. Based on discussions with the United States Food & Drug Administration (FDA), under our determination and subject to our review, Summit will consider the timing of the filing of this BLA.

Current report

A more complete data presentation from HARMONi is intended to be shared at a future major medical conference.

Previous wording

Based on data published by Akeso at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (“ASCO 2024”) and in a publication in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA)in the HARMONi-A study, in a single-region (China), randomized, double-blinded Phase III study in patients with NSCLC who have progressed following an EGFR-TKI, ivonescimab achieved its primary endpoint of progression-free survival (“PFS”) when combined with doublet chemotherapy (pemetrexed and carboplatin). Patients experienced a 54% reduction in disease progression or death as compared to placebo plus doublet-chemotherapy (HR: 0.46, 95% CI: 0.34 - 0.62; p<0.001). In a pre-specified subgroup analysis of patients who received a previous third-generation TKI, a hazard ratio of 0.48 was observed. A median Overall Survival (mOS) in this study of 17.1 months was observed, reflecting a 20% reduction in death as compared to placebo plus chemotherapy in the study (HR: 0.80, 95% CI: 0.59 - 1.08). The Phase III study was considered to have demonstrated a tolerable safety profile and a low discontinuation rate for adverse events.

Previous wording

Research and development expenses increased by $20.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the same period in the prior year. This increase was primarily due to our continued investment in oncology expenses for ivonescimab, known as SMT112 in our Licensed Territory, resulting in an increase of $14.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and an increase in compensation related costs and stock-based compensation of $5.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 to support the clinical development of ivonescimab as we continue to hire additional clinical resources in the oncology field. We expect oncology-related research and development costs to continue to increase as we progress with the development of ivonescimab.

Current wording

Research and development expenses increased by $162.2 million and $182.6 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same periods in the prior year. This increase was primarily due to the increase in stock-based compensation expense of approximately $123.7 million as a result of the modification of our outstanding unvested performance-based stock option awards issued under our 2020 Stock Incentive Plan which removed the performance-based vesting criteria from these awards. Following this modification, the option awards are subject only to time-based vesting conditions. In addition, our continued investment in oncology expenses for ivonescimab, known as SMT112 in our Licensed Territory, resulting in an increase of $47.8 million and $62.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, and an increase in compensation related costs of $4.3 million and $8.5 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 to support the clinical development of ivonescimab as we continue to hire additional clinical resources in the oncology field.

We expect to continue to generate operating losses for the foreseeable future.

Previous wording

Until such time, if ever, as we can generate substantial product revenues, we expect to finance our cash needs through a combination of some, or all, of the following: equity and debt offerings, collaborations, strategic alliances, grants and clinical trial support from government entities, philanthropic, non-government and not-for-profit organizations, and marketing, distribution or licensing arrangements.

Current wording

Until we can generate substantial revenue and achieve profitability, we will need to raise additional capital to fund our ongoing operations and capital needs. We continue to evaluate options to further finance our operating cash needs for our product candidates through a combination of some, or all, of the following: equity and debt offerings, collaborations, strategic alliances, grants and clinical trial support from government entities, philanthropic, non-government and not-for-profit organizations, and marketing, distribution or licensing arrangements. There is no assurance, however, that additional financing will be available when needed or that we will be able to obtain financing on terms acceptable to us. If we are unable to obtain funding when required in the future, we could be required to delay or reduce research and development programs, product portfolio expansion, or future commercialization efforts, which could adversely affect our business prospects. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Previous wording

From time to time, we may raise additional equity or debt capital through both registered offerings off of a shelf registration, including ATM offerings, and private offerings of securities. On February 20, 2024, we filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC, which the SEC declared effective on February 27, 2024. Through our shelf registration statement we may, from time to time, sell up to an aggregate of $450 million of our common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, depository shares, warrants, subscription rights, purchase contracts, or units. Of the $450 million of liquidity available to us under this shelf registration statement, on May 13, 2024, we had established an ATM offering program with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, as sales agent, in the amount of up to $90.0 million, of which $45.8 million remains available for sale as of March 31, 2025. If we require or elect to seek additional capital through debt or equity financing in the future, we may not be able to raise capital on terms acceptable to us or at all. To the extent we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the issuance of such securities will result in dilution to our stockholders. If we are required and unable to raise additional capital when desired, our business, operating results and financial condition may be adversely affected. As of the date of this report, additional capital has not been secured.

We will need to seek additional funding in the future to fund operations. Additional capital, when needed, may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the ownership interest of our existing stockholders may be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of our existing stockholders. Additional debt financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends or other distributions. If we raise additional funds through collaborations, strategic alliances or marketing, distribution, or licensing arrangements with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams, research programs or product candidates or to grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us.
