Clinical Pipeline Developments

LP-184: Detailed Phase 1a Results Demonstrate Clinical Proof-of-Concept & Activity

In September, Lantern announced the completion of enrollment and initial clinical results from its LP-184 Phase 1a clinical trial (NCT05933265), which successfully achieved all primary endpoints. The data across the 63 patients enrolled provided critical insights into safety, pharmacokinetics, biomarker correlations, and clinical activity that position LP-184 for advancement into targeted planned Phase 1b/2 studies.

Highlights of the Phase 1a Results:

● Clinical Benefit and Activity: The trial demonstrated clinical benefit in 48% of evaluable cancer patients treated at or above the therapeutic dose threshold. This encouraging activity was observed in heavily pretreated patients who had exhausted available standard-of-care therapies, representing proof-of-concept for LP-184’s synthetic lethal mechanism.
● Safety Profile Supports Broad Development: LP-184 demonstrated a favorable safety and tolerability profile with minimal dose-limiting toxicities. The safety data support advancement into both monotherapy and combination therapy approaches with PARP inhibitors and immunotherapy agents.

● Activity in Difficult-to-Treat Cancers: Notable clinical benefits were observed in historically challenging tumor types including glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST), and thymic carcinoma. Several patients have continued treatment beyond enrollment completion due to ongoing clinical benefit.
● Biomarker Strategy Strengthened: A key finding from the Phase 1a trial was the observation of marked tumor reductions in patients harboring specific DNA damage repair mutations, including CHK2, ATM, BRCA1, and STK11/KEAP1 alterations. These biomarker insights directly validate the AI-driven patient stratification approach developed through Lantern’s RADR platform and support the use of genomic selection criteria in future trials.
● Pharmacokinetics Enable Dose Optimization: The trial successfully characterized LP-184’s pharmacokinetic profile and established the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of 0.39 mg/kg, providing clear dosing guidance for planned Phase 1b/2 studies across multiple indications.

Based on the Phase 1a results and biomarker insights, Lantern is advancing development plans for LP-184 in three high-value indications:

● Triple-Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC), which represents a potential annual market opportunity exceeding $4 billion.
● NSCLC with STK11/KEAP1 Co-mutations: Phase 1b/2 study in a biomarker-defined subset of patients with mutations in STK11 and/or KEAP1 genes, representing a significant unmet medical need and a potential annual market approaching $1.5 billion.
● Bladder Cancer with DNA damage repair mutations in patients who have relapsed from SOC (standard of care) therapies, which is planned to be an investigator-led study initiating in Denmark.

Comprehensive results from the LP-184 Phase 1a trial are being prepared for submission to peer-reviewed journals and presentation at major oncology conferences. To provide additional insights and expert analysis of the clinical data, Lantern will host a Key Opinion Leader (KOL)-hosted scientific webinar on November 20, 2025 at 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time featuring detailed discussion of the Phase 1a results, biomarker findings, and clinical development strategy.

FDA Type C Meeting: Clarity in Regulatory Path for Pediatric CNS Cancer Program

A major third quarter regulatory milestone was the successful completion of a Type C meeting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration during September. This meeting provided important guidance on the regulatory pathway and trial design for Starlight Therapeutics’ – a wholly owned subsidiary of Lantern Pharma – planned pediatric clinical trial focused on CNS cancers, including Atypical Teratoid Rhabdoid Tumor (ATRT). The FDA provided constructive and supportive feedback on the proposed clinical trial structure.

Key outcomes from the Type C meeting included:

● Parallel ATRT Cohort Supported: The FDA confirmed support for a parallel cohort design specifically for ATRT patients, which will accelerate data collection in this ultra-rare pediatric population while maintaining statistical rigor.
● Combination Strategy Confirmed: The agency confirmed the potential incorporation of spironolactone as a combination agent with LP-184/STAR-001. This combination strategy is based on preclinical data demonstrating synergistic activity and RADR platform predictions of enhanced efficacy in pediatric brain tumors.
● Trial Design Alignment: The FDA provided guidance on appropriate endpoints, patient selection criteria, and safety monitoring approaches for this vulnerable pediatric population, enabling Starlight Therapeutics to finalize the clinical protocol with confidence in the regulatory pathway.

Regulatory Designations and Market Opportunity:

● LP-184, which is being developed as STAR-001 by Starlight Therapeutics in CNS cancers, has received both Rare Pediatric Disease Designation and Orphan Drug Designation from the FDA for ATRT, along with additional Rare Pediatric Disease Designations for hepatoblastoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, and malignant rhabdoid tumors. These designations underscore the urgent unmet need for innovative therapies in aggressive pediatric cancers and provide potential pathways for possible priority review vouchers upon approval.
● ATRT is an ultra-rare pediatric brain tumor with the genetic hallmark of SMARCB1 gene loss or dysfunction, affecting primarily children under age 3. Current treatment options are limited and associated with significant long-term toxicities, creating substantial demand for novel targeted approaches.

LP-300 HARMONIC Trial: Enrollment and Follow-Up Progress

The Phase 2 HARMONIC trial continued patient enrollment and follow-up during the third quarter across sites in the United States, Japan, and Taiwan. The trial evaluates LP-300 in combination with standard-of-care chemotherapy (carboplatin + pemetrexed) in never-smokers with NSCLC adenocarcinoma who have progressed after tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy.

● In late July, Lantern announced the completion of enrollment in Japan for the HARMONIC trial across five clinical sites in Japan, including the National Cancer Center Tokyo.
● During November, clinical investigators associated with the HARMONIC trial presented data from the ongoing study at the 66th Annual Meeting of the Japan Lung Cancer Society. Dr. Jonathan Dowell from UT Southwestern Medical Center presented, "A Phase II Trial of LP-300 plus Carboplatin and Pemetrexed in TKI-Progressed NSCLC Patients". Data from this presentation included the Asian and US cohorts of the study and will be further reviewed and presented in December by Lantern Pharma.

● Also, during the third quarter the company progressed with a change in clinical staffing and a transition of CRO services in Asia focused on significant cost reductions and efficiency in Taiwan.
● The study’s strategic positioning in Asia, where never-smokers represent 33-40% of NSCLC cases compared to approximately 15% in Western populations, positions Lantern for potential regional partnerships and co-development opportunities. The treatment of never-smokers with NSCLC represents an estimated $4+ billion annual market opportunity with no specifically approved therapies for this patient population.

LP-284: LL&M Congress Presentation & Future Development Plans

During October Lantern presented clinical data from its ongoing LP-284 Phase 1 trial at the 25th Annual Lymphoma, Leukemia & Myeloma (LL&M) Congress in New York City. The presentation showcased the confirmed complete metabolic response in a heavily pretreated DLBCL patient and highlighted LP-284’s novel mechanism of action and combination therapy potential.

LL&M Congress Impact and Additional Milestones:

● Presentation generated interest from biopharmaceutical companies and clinical investigators, with ongoing discussions focused on: combination therapy development with FDA-approved agents; post-immunotherapy treatment strategies; and LP-284’s mechanistic differentiation. LP-284 has demonstrated particular lethality in cells with deficient DNA damage response, a targetable vulnerability in NHL.
● Additional clinical sites being recruited with a focus on NHL and high-grade B-cell lymphoma patients to accelerate enrollment.
● Partnership and collaboration discussions advancing with emphasis on combination therapy protocols.
● Expansion into autoimmune and inflammatory indications under preclinical evaluation, leveraging LP-284’s B-cell depletion activity.

LP-284 benefits from strong intellectual property protection with composition of matter patents granted in the U.S., Europe, Japan, India, and Mexico, providing exclusivity through 2039. The drug candidate has received multiple FDA Orphan Drug Designations including for mantle cell lymphoma and high-grade B-cell lymphomas.

RADR AI Platform: Demonstrating Commercial Value and Industry Leadership

Title Novel Selectivity-Enhanced Bispecific T-cell Engager Utilises Avidity to Overcome On-target, Off-tumour Toxicity
Date and time Wednesday, December 10, 2025, 08:00 (GMT)
Poster number 309P
Location The Churchill Room, Queen Elizabeth II Centre, London
Bispecific TCE Overview

For the selected target, LabGenius has developed a selectivity-enhanced TCE. The company’s lead optimisation platform, EVA, was used to discover and concomitantly optimise a TCE with improved killing selectivity, potency, efficacy, and manufacturability. The biological mechanism underlying this enhanced selectivity is based on the principle of avidity. By harnessing avidity-driven selectivity, the optimised TCE can distinguish between healthy and diseased cells based on differential tumour-associated antigen expression.

On November 13, 2025 Kura Oncology, Inc. (Nasdaq: KURA) and Kyowa Kirin Co., Ltd. (TSE: 4151) reported the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted full approval of KOMZIFTI (ziftomenib) for adult patients with relapsed or refractory (R/R) acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with a susceptible NPM1 mutation who have no satisfactory alternative treatment options. KOMZIFTI is the first and only once-daily, oral menin inhibitor approved for R/R NPM1-mutated (NPM1-m) AML, a devastating blood cancer with limited treatment options.

"KOMZIFTI combines compelling efficacy, a favorable safety profile, compatibility with concomitant medications, and convenient once-daily oral administration in a population with few effective treatment options. These features highlight KOMZIFTI’s potential to serve as the menin inhibitor of choice in its approved indication," said Troy Wilson, Ph.D., J.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Kura Oncology. "Together with our partner, Kyowa Kirin, we remain committed to advancing development of KOMZIFTI across the treatment continuum for AML, where its best-in-class profile offers potential for even greater impact in combination regimens and earlier lines of therapy. We are fully prepared to launch KOMZIFTI today and deliver this new medicine to patients in need."

NPM1 mutations are among the most common founder mutations in AML, occurring in approximately 30% of cases. Historically, approximately 20% of patients with NPM1-m AML do not respond to front-line therapy. Of those who do respond, 70% will relapse within 3 years, most within 12 months. Early relapse and declining survival with each recurrence underscore the urgent need for treatment approaches that deliver lasting remission.

Approval is supported by the pivotal KOMET-001 trial (NCT04067336), which evaluated KOMZIFTI’s safety and efficacy in 112 R/R NPM1-m AML patients. The rate of complete remission (CR) plus CR with partial hematologic recovery (CRh) was 21.4% (95% CI: 14.2, 30.2). The median duration of CR+CRh was 5.0 months (95% CI: 1.9, 8.1) and the median time to first response in patients who achieved a CR or CRh was 2.7 months (range: 0.9 to 15 months). 88% of patients who achieved CR or CRh did so within 6 months of initiating KOMZIFTI. These data from the Prescribing Information are generally consistent with findings recently published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.1

"KOMZIFTI addresses a critical need for adult patients with R/R NPM1-m AML, many of whom are older and unable to tolerate intensive chemotherapy or transplant," said Eunice Wang, M.D., Chief of the Leukemia Service and Professor of Oncology at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center. "The clinical data demonstrate deep and durable responses with a manageable safety profile, including no drug-drug interactions and no Boxed Warnings for QTc prolongation or Torsades de Pointes – key advantages for patients on multiple concurrent medications. This approval equips physicians with a new oral therapy to integrate into care and improve outcomes for this vulnerable patient population."

The most common adverse reactions (≥20%), including laboratory abnormalities, were aspartate aminotransferase increased, infection without an identified pathogen, potassium decreased, albumin decreased, alanine aminotransferase increased, sodium decreased, creatinine increased, alkaline phosphatase increased, hemorrhage, diarrhea, nausea, fatigue, edema, bacterial infection, musculoskeletal pain, bilirubin increased, potassium increased, differentiation syndrome, pruritus, febrile neutropenia, and transaminases increased. KOMZIFTI includes a Boxed Warning for differentiation syndrome, a well-studied mechanism-based risk in drugs that restore differentiation. Absence of clinically meaningful drug-drug interactions can ease the use of KOMZIFTI with concomitant therapies, including those that cause QTc interval prolongation. QTc interval prolongation was ≤ Grade 3 in 12% of patients and no Grade 4 or Grade 5 QTc interval prolongation was reported. QTc interval prolongation of any cause occurred in 10% of the 70 patients 65 years of age or older.

"The approval of KOMZIFTI underscores our commitment to advancing precision medicines to address the genetic drivers of disease in hematology and oncology," said Takeyoshi Yamashita, Ph.D., Executive Vice President and Chief Medical Officer of Kyowa Kirin. "In AML, where many patients face severe disease progression and limited treatment options, the evolution toward targeted therapies such as KOMZIFTI represents a major step forward and offers potential to transform existing standards of care. We are proud to partner with Kura Oncology in bringing this important therapy to patients and their families."

In November 2024, Kura Oncology and Kyowa Kirin entered into a global strategic collaboration to develop and commercialize KOMZIFTI. The collaboration builds on Kyowa Kirin’s leadership and expertise in hematologic malignancies. Under the terms of the collaboration, Kura leads development, regulatory and commercial strategy in the U.S. and is responsible for manufacturing KOMZIFTI. The companies will jointly perform certain commercialization activities in accordance with a co-created U.S. territory commercialization plan. Outside the U.S., Kyowa Kirin leads development, regulatory and commercial strategy and is responsible for commercializing KOMZIFTI.

As part of its commitment to helping patients access KOMZIFTI, Kura has established a support program, Kura RxKonnect, to minimize barriers to access and reimbursement for appropriate patients prescribed KOMZIFTI. Kura RxKonnect is available 8:00 am – 8:00 pm ET by phone at (844) KuraPSP (844-587-2777) or online at www.KuraRxKonnect.com.

Conference Call and Webcast
Kura will host a conference call and webcast featuring Company management and guest speaker Eunice Wang, M.D., Chief of the Leukemia Service and Professor of Oncology at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center, at 12:30 pm ET / 9:30 am PT on November 13, 2025. The live webcast and replay will be available on the Company’s website at www.kuraoncology.com under the Investors tab in the Events and Presentations section.

About KOMZIFTI
KOMZIFTI (ziftomenib) is an oral menin inhibitor approved for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with a susceptible NPM1 mutation who have no satisfactory alternative treatment options.

KOMZIFTI is in development for the front-line treatment of AML harboring NPM1 mutations, KMT2A translocations and FLT3 mutations, with the potential to be combined with approved therapies and benefit a broad spectrum of patients earlier in their disease course.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION FOR KOMZIFTI FROM THE U.S. PRESCRIBING INFORMATION

Boxed WARNING: DIFFERENTIATION SYNDROME

Differentiation syndrome, which can be fatal, has occurred with KOMZIFTI. Signs and symptoms may include fever, joint pain, hypotension, hypoxia, dyspnea, rapid weight gain or peripheral edema, pleural or pericardial effusions, pulmonary infiltrates, acute kidney injury, and rashes. If differentiation syndrome is suspected, interrupt KOMZIFTI, and initiate oral or intravenous corticosteroids with hemodynamic and laboratory monitoring until symptom resolution; resume KOMZIFTI upon symptom improvement.

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

Differentiation Syndrome

KOMZIFTI can cause fatal or life-threatening differentiation syndrome (DS). DS is associated with rapid proliferation and differentiation of myeloid cells. Symptoms of DS, including those seen in patients treated with KOMZIFTI, may include fever, hypoxia, joint pain, hypotension, dyspnea, rapid weight gain or peripheral edema, pleural or pericardial effusions, acute kidney injury, and rashes.

In the clinical trial, DS occurred in 29 (26%) of 112 patients with R/R AML with an NPM1 mutation who were treated with KOMZIFTI at the recommended dosage. DS was Grade 3 in 13% and fatal in two patients. In broader evaluation of all patients with any genetic form of AML treated with KOMZIFTI monotherapy in clinical trials, DS occurred in 25% of patients. Four fatal cases of DS occurred out of 39 patients with KMT2A-rearranged AML treated with KOMZIFTI. KOMZIFTI is not approved for use in patients with KMT2A-rearranged AML.

In the 112 patients with an NPM1 mutation, DS was observed with and without concomitant hyperleukocytosis, in as early as 3 days and up to 46 days after KOMZIFTI initiation. The median time to onset was 15 days. Two patients experienced more than one DS event. Treatment was interrupted and resumed in 15 (13%) patients, while it was permanently discontinued in 2 (2%) patients.

Prior to starting treatment with KOMZIFTI, reduce the WBC counts to less than 25 x 10⁹/L. If DS is suspected, interrupt KOMZIFTI, initiate oral or intravenous corticosteroids (e.g., dexamethasone 10 mg every 12 hours) for a minimum of 3 days with hemodynamic and laboratory monitoring. Resume treatment with KOMZIFTI at the same dose level when signs and symptoms improve and are Grade 2 or lower. Taper corticosteroids over a minimum of 3 days after adequate control or resolution of symptoms. Symptoms of DS may recur with premature discontinuation of corticosteroid treatment.

QTc Interval Prolongation

KOMZIFTI can cause QTc interval prolongation. In the clinical trial, QTc interval prolongation was reported as an adverse reaction in 12% of 112 patients treated with KOMZIFTI at the recommended dosage for R/R AML with an NPM1 mutation. QTc interval prolongation was Grade 3 in 8% of patients. The heart-rate corrected QT interval (using Fridericia’s method) (QTcF) was greater than 500 msec in 9% of patients, and the increase from baseline QTcF was greater than 60 msec in 12% of patients. KOMZIFTI dose reduction was required for 1% of patients due to QTc interval prolongation. QTc prolongation occurred in 14% of the 42 patients less than 65 years of age and in 10% of the 70 patients 65 years of age or older.

Correct electrolyte abnormalities, including hypokalemia and hypomagnesemia, prior to treatment with KOMZIFTI. Perform an ECG prior to initiation of treatment with KOMZIFTI, and do not initiate KOMZIFTI in patients with QTcF > 480 msec. Perform an ECG at least once weekly for the first four weeks on treatment, and at least monthly thereafter. Interrupt KOMZIFTI if the QTc interval is > 500 ms or the change from baseline is > 60 ms (Grade 3). In patients with congenital long QTc syndrome, congestive heart failure, electrolyte abnormalities, or those who are taking medications known to prolong the QTc interval, more frequent ECG monitoring may be necessary. Concomitant use of KOMZIFTI with drugs known to prolong the QTc interval may increase the risk of QTc interval prolongation, result in a greater increase in the QTc interval and adverse reactions associated with QTc interval prolongation, including Torsades de Pointes, other serious arrhythmias, and sudden death.

Embryo-Fetal Toxicity

Based on findings in animals and its mechanism of action, KOMZIFTI can cause embryo-fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to the fetus. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with KOMZIFTI and for 6 months after the last dose. Advise males with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with KOMZIFTI and for 3 months after the last dose.

ADVERSE REACTIONS

Fatal adverse reactions occurred in 4 (4%) patients who received KOMZIFTI, including 2 with differentiation syndrome, 1 with infection, and 1 with sudden death. Serious adverse reactions were reported in 79% of patients who received KOMZIFTI. Serious adverse reactions occurring in ≥ 5% of patients included infection without an identified pathogen (29%), febrile neutropenia (18%), bacterial infection (16%), differentiation syndrome (16%), and dyspnea (6%).

Dosage interruption of KOMZIFTI due to an adverse reaction occurred in 54% of patients. Adverse reactions that required dose interruption in ≥ 2% of patients included infection without an identified pathogen (15%), differentiation syndrome (13%), febrile neutropenia (5%), pyrexia (4%), electrocardiogram QT prolonged (4%), leukocytosis (4%), bacterial infection (3%), cardiac failure (2%), cholecystitis (2%), diarrhea (2%), pruritus (2%), and thrombosis (2%). Dose reduction of KOMZIFTI due to an adverse reaction occurred in 4% of patients. Permanent discontinuation of KOMZIFTI due to an adverse reaction occurred in 21% of patients. Adverse reactions that required permanent discontinuation of KOMZIFTI in ≥ 2% of patients were infection without an identified pathogen (8%), bacterial infection (4%), cardiac arrest (2%), and differentiation syndrome (2%).

Most common (≥ 20%) adverse reactions, including laboratory abnormalities, were aspartate aminotransferase increased (53%), infection without an identified pathogen (52%), potassium decreased (52%), albumin decreased (51%), alanine aminotransferase increased (50%), sodium decreased (49%), creatinine increased (45%), alkaline phosphatase increased (41%), hemorrhage (38%), diarrhea (36%), nausea (35%), fatigue (34%), edema (30%), bacterial infection (28%), musculoskeletal pain (28%), bilirubin increased (27%), potassium increased (26%), differentiation syndrome (26%), pruritus (23%), febrile neutropenia (22%), and transaminases increased (21%).

DRUG INTERACTIONS

Drug interactions may occur when KOMZIFTI is concomitantly used with:

Strong or Moderate CYP3A4 Inhibitors: Monitor patients more frequently for KOMZIFTI-associated adverse reactions.
Strong or Moderate CYP3A4 Inducers: Avoid concomitant use of KOMZIFTI.
Gastric Acid Reducing Agents: Avoid concomitant use of KOMZIFTI with proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), H2 receptor antagonists (H2RAs), or locally acting antacids. If concomitant use with H2RAs or locally acting antacids cannot be avoided, modify KOMZIFTI administration time.

Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In this press release, Instil has presented certain financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). These non-GAAP financial measures include non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP net loss per share, which are defined as net loss and net loss per share, respectively, excluding non-cash stock-based compensation expense and restructuring and impairment charges. Instil believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered together with the GAAP figures, can enhance an overall understanding of Instil’s financial performance. The non-GAAP financial measures are included with the intent of providing investors with a more complete understanding of Instil’s operating results. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are among the indicators Instil’s management uses for planning purposes and to measure Instil’s performance. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures used by Instil may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.

"This quarter highlights strong execution across our key programs," said Jonathan Dickinson, Chief Executive Officer of Innate Pharma. "With FDA clearance to initiate TELLOMAK-3, we are advancing lacutamab toward its confirmatory Phase 3 and potential accelerated approval in Sézary syndrome. We remain on track for dose-escalation data, from IPH4502, our Nectin-4 ADC, in the first half of 2026, followed by monalizumab PACIFIC-9 results in the second half of 2026. Together, these milestones position us well to deliver meaningful value for patients and shareholders as we continue to advance our differentiated portfolio."

Pipeline highlights:

Strategic focus

As previously announced, Innate Pharma is prioritizing its investment on what it believes are its highest-value clinical assets, IPH4502, lacutamab, and monalizumab (partnered with AstraZeneca); and advancing the next Antibody Drug Conjugates (ADCs) toward development, leveraging its pipeline of innovative targets.

Lacutamab (anti-KIR3DL2 antibody):

Cutaneous T Cell Lymphoma

•The Company announced on November 10 that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has completed its review of the confirmatory Phase 3 protocol for lacutamab in cutaneous T-cell lymphomas (CTCL), with no further comments, clearing the trial to proceed.

•The planned confirmatory Phase 3 trial, TELLOMAK-3, is an open-label, randomized study designed to demonstrate the efficacy of lacutamab in patients with Sézary syndrome and Mycosis fungoides, who failed at least one prior line of systemic therapy. The trial will include two independent cohorts: one enrolling patients with Sézary syndrome post-mogamulizumab treatment randomized 1:1 to receive lacutamab or romidepsin, and one enrolling patients with Mycosis fungoides randomized 1:1 to receive lacutamab or mogamulizumab. The primary endpoint of the study for both cohorts is progression-free survival (PFS) evaluated by blinded central review.

•Data from the Phase 2 TELLOMAK trial in CTCL demonstrated durable activity, a favorable safety profile, and improvements in patients’ quality of life. With this feedback from FDA, the Company is progressing towards the initiation of the confirmatory Phase 3 TELLOMAK-3 trial in H1 2026. FDA provided encouraging initial feedback on Innate Pharma’s proposed regulatory pathway, which could potentially include Accelerated Approval for Sézary syndrome, once the Phase 3 trial is underway.

•The Company held a KOL event on October 28, 2025 on lacutamab and provided updates on the planned Phase 3 trial, the regulatory pathway in CTCL, and the commercial opportunity for lacutamab.

Peripheral T Cell lymphoma (PTCL)

•The Phase 2 KILT (anti-KIR in T Cell Lymphoma) trial, an investigator-sponsored, randomized controlled trial led by the Lymphoma Study Association (LYSA) to evaluate lacutamab in combination with chemotherapy GEMOX (gemcitabine and oxaliplatin) versus GEMOX alone in patients with KIR3DL2-expressing relapsed/refractory PTCL is ongoing and continues to recruit patients.

IPH4502 (Nectin-4 exatecan ADC):

•The Phase 1 trial will assess the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of IPH4502 in advanced solid tumors known to express Nectin-4, including but not limited to urothelial carcinoma, non-small cell lung, breast, ovarian, gastric, esophageal, and colorectal cancers. The study plans to enroll approximately 105 patients.

•The first patient was dosed in the Phase 1 study in January 2025. Enrollment of the dose escalation part continues to progress well and is expected to be completed at the end of 2025 or in the first quarter of 2026. Pharmacologically active dose has been reached.

Monalizumab (anti-NKG2A antibody), partnered with AstraZeneca:

•The Phase 3 PACIFIC-9 trial run by AstraZeneca evaluating durvalumab (anti-PD‑L1) in combination with monalizumab or AstraZeneca’s oleclumab (anti-CD73) in patients with unresectable, Stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have not progressed following definitive platinum-based concurrent chemoradiation therapy (CRT) is ongoing. Enrollment in the trial is complete, and data readouts are expected in H2 2026.

Other Clinical stage assets

IPH6501 (ANKET anti-CD20 with IL-2V, proprietary): The Phase 1/2 clinical trial is evaluating IPH6501 in B-cell Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (B-NHL). The study is planned to enroll up to 184 patients. Clinical sites are open in the US, Australia, and France. Enrollment in the dose escalation phase of the trial is complete. Clinical data are expected to be presented in 2026.

IPH6101 (ANKET anti-CD123, proprietary): Innate regained the rights to SAR’579/IPH6101 in July 2025. Data from the Sanofi-led Phase 1/2 study and Phase 2 preliminary dose expansion of the trial have been transferred to Innate and the Company is evaluating potential next steps.

IPH5201 (anti-CD39 antibody, partnered with AstraZeneca): The MATISSE Phase 2 clinical trial conducted by Innate in neoadjuvant lung cancer for IPH5201, an anti CD39 blocking monoclonal antibody developed in collaboration with AstraZeneca, is ongoing, and recruitment is on track.

IPH5301 (anti-CD73, proprietary): The investigator-sponsored CHANCES Phase 1 trial of IPH5301 with Institut Paoli-Calmettes is ongoing.

Corporate update

•As previously announced, in line with its strategic focus, the Company intends to streamline its organization. Planned layoffs will be implemented through a redundancy plan, expected to be completed during the first half of 2026. A consultation with the Workers’ Council is ongoing and the plan is subject to endorsement by the French authorities (Dreets).

•The ATM program, pursuant to which it may, from time to time, offer and sell to eligible investors a total gross amount of up to $75 million of American Depositary Shares ("ADS") is still in place. As of September 30, 2025, no sales have been made under the program.

Financial Results

Cash, cash equivalents and financial assets of the Company amounted to €56.4 million as of September 30, 2025. At the same date, financial liabilities amounted to €24.8 million.

Revenues for the first nine months of 2025 amounted to €2.3 million (€10.2 million for the same period in 2024). For the nine-month period, ended September 30, 2025, revenue from collaboration and licensing agreements mainly resulted from the partial or entire recognition of the proceeds received pursuant to the agreements with AstraZeneca and Sanofi.
