(NASDAQ: SLS) ("SELLAS’’ or the "Company"), a late-stage clinical biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of novel therapies for a broad range of cancer indications, reported an update on the ongoing Phase 3 REGAL trial evaluating GPS as a potential maintenance therapy in patients with AML after second complete remission (CR2).

Following the Independent Data Monitoring Committee (IDMC) recommendation in August 2025 that the Phase 3 REGAL trial continue without modification, it was expected that the 80th event (death) required to trigger the final analysis would occur before year-end. The REGAL trial is an overall survival study, and per the statistical analysis plan, the final analysis will be triggered once 80 events (deaths) have occurred.

SELLAS was informed by its contract research organization managing the REGAL trial that the pooled number of events was 72 as of December 26, 2025. SELLAS remains blinded to all efficacy and survival data outcomes and, as no outcomes analyses were performed and no statistical penalty has been incurred, this one-time update on the aggregate number of events does not impact future statistical analyses. Because the final analysis is event-driven, and the timing of studies with overall survival as an endpoint can vary, SELLAS will announce the 80th event when it occurs.

"We appreciate the continued dedication of the patients, families, and investigators participating in the pivotal Phase 3 REGAL trial where survival times, fortunately for patients and caregivers, appear longer than expected," said Angelos Stergiou, MD, ScD h.c., President and Chief Executive Officer of SELLAS. "While the 80th event has not yet occurred, and we remain fully blinded, every passing month may increase the probability of a successful study as highlighted by key opinion leaders in our recent R&D event. Conclusive data will follow the unblinding and analyses of the study results. We remain steadfast in our commitment to advancing breakthrough therapies, such as GPS, that possess the potential to significantly improve the lives of patients with AML."

"The REGAL study represents a meaningful effort to evaluate GPS as a novel therapeutic approach in an AML population with significant unmet need," said Dr. Yair Levy, Director of Hematologic Malignancies Research at Texas Oncology Baylor University Medical Center, and a member of the REGAL Steering Committee. "For patients who are unable to undergo transplant, as in the REGAL study, their treatment usually consists of a combination of hypomethylating agents and/or a BCL-2 inhibitor, with an expected median overall survival of around eight months. We hope to see an extended survival benefit, with a tolerable safety profile, as observed in previous GPS studies."

About Phase 3 REGAL Trial

REGAL (NCT04229979) is a Phase 3 randomized registrational clinical trial for GPS in AML patients who have achieved complete remission following second-line salvage therapy (CR2 patients). The primary endpoint is overall survival. The IDMC is an independent group of medical, scientific, and biostatistics experts who are responsible for reviewing and evaluating patient safety and efficacy data for REGAL, and for monitoring quality and overall conduct to ensure the validity, scientific and clinical merits of the study. The IDMC charter provides for periodic reviews of safety, efficacy, and futility in addition to the interim and final analyses.

Fanregratinib (HMPL‑453) is a novel, selective, oral inhibitor targeting FGFR 1/2/3. ICC is a highly aggressive malignancy arising from the intrahepatic biliary epithelium. It accounts for 8.2-15.0% of primary liver cancers, and consequently it is the second most common type after hepatocellular carcinoma. In recent years, the incidence of ICC has continued to rise, with a 5-year overall survival rate of approximately 9%.[1] Approximately 10-15% of ICC patients globally have tumors harboring FGFR2 fusions or rearrangements.

This NDA is supported by data from a single-arm, multi-center, open-label, Phase II registration study in China. The study has met its primary endpoint of objective response rate (ORR). Results from the secondary endpoints including progression-free survival (PFS), disease control rate (DCR), duration of response (DoR) and overall survival (OS) also support the primary endpoint findings. Full results will be submitted for presentation at an upcoming scientific conference. Additional details may be found at clinicaltrials.gov using identifier NCT04353375.

About Fanregratinib
Fanregratinib (HMPL‑453) is a novel, highly selective and potent inhibitor targeting FGFR 1, 2 and 3. Aberrant FGFR signaling has been found to be a driving force in tumor growth, promotion of angiogenesis and resistance to anti-tumor therapies. Abnormal FGFR gene alterations are believed to be the drivers of tumor cell proliferation in several solid tumor settings. HUTCHMED currently retain all rights to fanregratinib worldwide.

Genmab Portfolio Prioritization Update

On December 29, 2025 Genmab A/S (Nasdaq: GMAB) reported that it will discontinue further clinical development of acasunlimab. This decision was made as part of Genmab’s strategic focus on the most value‑creating opportunities in its late‑stage portfolio and following a thorough assessment of the evolving competitive landscape. While the clinical profile observed to date has been encouraging, Genmab will concentrate resources on programs with the highest potential impact, including EPKINLY (epcoritamab), petosemtamab and rinatabart sesutecan (Rina‑S), which are advancing in late‑stage development. This decision is consistent with Genmab’s disciplined portfolio prioritization and capital allocation framework.

"After careful consideration, we have decided to discontinue the acasunlimab program. Although the data have been encouraging, the compelling opportunities we see in our late‑stage pipeline led us to focus our investments where we believe we can deliver the greatest benefit for patients and shareholders. We are highly energized by the momentum of EPKINLY, petosemtamab and Rina‑S, and we remain committed to executing these programs with speed and rigor," said Jan van de Winkel, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer, Genmab.

This decision does not impact Genmab’s full‑year 2025 financial guidance.
