On July 30, 2026, Karyopharm Therapeutics Inc. (the "Company") reported topline results from its Phase 3 XPORT-EC-042 trial evaluating selinexor as a maintenance-only therapy compared to placebo in adult patients with TP53 wild-type advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer. The trial did not meet its primary endpoint of progression free survival ("PFS"). In the trial, patients were randomized 1:1 to receive either a 60 mg, once-weekly, administration of oral selinexor or placebo until disease progression. The trial included two patient populations, for which the primary endpoint of PFS was designed to be tested sequentially: (1) a modified intent to treat population ("mITT") that included patients with either (a) TP53 wild-type tumors with proficient mismatch repair status ("pMMR") or (b) TP53 wild-type tumors with deficient mismatch repair status ("dMMR"), who are medically ineligible to receive checkpoint inhibitors; and (2) the trial’s original intent to treat ("ITT") population, which included all patients enrolled in the trial whose tumors are TP53 wild-type, regardless of MMR status.

A trend favoring the selinexor arm was observed in the mITT population (n=236), with a median PFS of 12.75 months in the selinexor arm compared to 7.43 months in the placebo arm (hazard ratio=0.76 [95% CI: 0.51, 1.12]; one-sided p-value=0.0791).

The safety and tolerability profile of selinexor was consistent with its established safety profile, with no new safety signals observed. The Company intends to complete a full evaluation of the data from the XPORT-EC-042 trial and plans to present the data at a future medical meeting. The results of the XPORT-EC-042 trial do not affect ongoing trials of selinexor in other potential indications.

Myelofibrosis Update

On July 30, 2026, the Company announced that it plans to submit a supplemental New Drug Application ("sNDA") to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") in August 2026 seeking accelerated approval of selinexor in combination with ruxolitinib for the treatment of patients with myelofibrosis.

The planned submission follows productive engagements with the FDA, including written feedback that spleen volume reduction ≥ 35% ("SVR35") appears to qualify as a reasonably likely surrogate endpoint to predict overall survival and can be used to support an sNDA under the accelerated approval pathway. The Company plans to use overall survival data from long-term follow-up of the ongoing Phase 3 SENTRY trial to verify clinical benefit. Overall survival is a pre-specified secondary endpoint of SENTRY. The trial does not permit patient crossover; patients, investigators and the Karyopharm study team remain blinded to treatment assignment during ongoing follow-up.

The planned sNDA will be based on results from the randomized, double-blind, Phase 3 SENTRY trial that compared selinexor in combination with ruxolitinib against placebo in combination with ruxolitinib, including the statistically significant improvement in SVR35 at week 24, the rapid, deep and sustained nature of the spleen responses, a promising overall survival signal, reductions in variant allele frequency and the overall safety data package.

The Company intends to request Priority Review at the time of submission of the sNDA, which, if granted, would result in a Prescription Drug User Fee Act target action date approximately six months following the FDA’s receipt of the application.

The Company is actively engaged with the FDA on the final details of the sNDA submission. Contemporaneously with the Company’s announcement, the Company received additional correspondence from the FDA indicating that the FDA requires further discussion on the data to be used to support the sNDA and convert potential accelerated approval to traditional approval. The Company intends to address the FDA’s requests and provide the FDA with additional data and information prior to the submission of the sNDA in August 2026.

Corporate Update

The Company, with the assistance of its advisors, including its financial advisor Centerview Partners, is exploring potential financing transactions to extend its cash runway along with strategic alternatives in order to maximize both near and long-term value for all stakeholders. The Company’s ability to successfully consummate a financing transaction or execute on a strategic alternative is dependent on a number of factors. There is no assurance that these efforts will result in any type of transaction or, if they do, what the ultimate terms of any such transaction would be. The Company does not intend to discuss or disclose further developments unless and until its Board of Directors has approved a specific transaction or the Company otherwise determines that further disclosure is appropriate.

On July 30, 2026 IMUNON, Inc. (Nasdaq: IMNN) ("IMUNON" or "the Company"), a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing its novel DNA-mediated immunotherapies, reported a progress update on its pivotal Phase 3 OVATION 3 trial of IMNN-001 in patients with newly diagnosed advanced ovarian cancer. Since initiating the trial, the Company has observed rapid site activation and an enrollment rate that is exceeding its forecast. The trial advanced from protocol submission to site activation in approximately 6 months and from protocol approval to first patient randomized in approximately 2 months, a third of the time of the external industry benchmark.

The currently observed study-level enrollment rate of approximately 0.5 patients per site per month meaningfully exceeds the assumed rate of 0.3 patients per site per month used in the trial plan. That planning assumption was already set at a premium relative to the Company’s OVATION 2 experience and to historical industry ovarian cancer trials, which have generally enrolled at approximately 0.2 patients per site per month. The strong OVATION 3 enrollment is supported by highly promising clinical and biomarker data, most notably the overall survival (OS) evidence from the large, randomized Phase 2 OVATION 2 study and a high rate of conversion from pre-screening to randomization underscores strong interest in the trial by investigators and patients. More than 70% of sites are currently meeting or exceeding the assumed average enrollment rate of 0.3 patients per month. The Company now projects enrollment to be completed in the second quarter of 2029. Two pre-planned interim analyses are expected with the goal of early BLA filing for full regulatory approval if they achieve the pre-specified threshold.

"The early momentum we are seeing in OVATION 3 reflects the strength of our clinical data, the quality of our sites and the commitment of the investigators and patients participating in the trial," said Stacy Lindborg, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of IMUNON. "We’ve seen enrollment build quarter after quarter, including through the early summer months when trials typically slow down, a trend we view as a strong signal of investigator and patient engagement. The consistent safety profile we’ve now observed across multiple studies further re-enforces our confidence in IMNN-001, uniquely designed to safely exploit the pluripotent capability of IL-12 to recruit the entirety of the patient’s own immune system to fight cancer, as we continue to advance our pivotal Phase 3 OVATION 3 trial."

IMNN-001 has continued to demonstrate a highly favorable safety and tolerability profile, with no observed episodes of cytokine release syndrome, systemic toxicities or serious immune-related adverse events that have historically foiled the use of IL-12 to effectively treat cancer patients. Safety profiles have been comparable between the two arms of the study (IMNN-001 plus neoadjuvant and adjuvant chemotherapy {N/ACT} versus N/ACT alone), consistent with observations from the Company’s ongoing Phase 2 Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) study. No safety issues have been raised in recent Independent Data Monitoring Committee (IDMC) reviews of either ongoing study.

About the Phase 3 OVATION 3 Trial

The pivotal Phase 3 OVATION 3 trial is evaluating intraperitoneal IMNN-001 at 100 mg/m² in combination with standard-of-care neoadjuvant and adjuvant chemotherapy versus chemotherapy alone in patients with newly diagnosed advanced epithelial ovarian cancer. The trial is enrolling an all-comers population that includes both homologous recombination-deficient and homologous recombination-proficient patients; eligible patients who respond to first-line platinum-based chemotherapy will proceed to PARP inhibitor maintenance according to applicable guidelines and prescribing information. The primary endpoint is overall survival, with secondary endpoints including chemotherapy response score, surgical response score at interval debulking surgery, time to second-line treatment or death, and objective response rate.

About IMNN-001 Immunotherapy

Designed using IMUNON’s proprietary TheraPlas platform technology, IMNN-001 is an IL-12 DNA plasmid encased in a nanoparticle delivery system that enables cell transfection followed by persistent, local production of the IL-12 protein. IL-12 is one of the most active cytokines for the induction of potent anticancer immunity acting through the induction of T-lymphocyte and natural killer cell proliferation. IMUNON previously reported positive safety and encouraging Phase 1 results with IMNN-001 administered as monotherapy or as combination therapy in patients with advanced peritoneally metastasized primary or recurrent ovarian cancer and completed a Phase 1b dose-escalation trial (the OVATION 1 Study) of IMNN-001 in combination with carboplatin and paclitaxel neoadjuvantly in patients with newly diagnosed ovarian cancer. IMUNON previously reported positive results from the recently completed Phase 2 OVATION 2 Study, which assessed IMNN-001 (100 mg/m2 administered intraperitoneally weekly) plus neoadjuvant and adjuvant chemotherapy (N/ACT) of paclitaxel and carboplatin compared to standard-of-care N/ACT alone in 112 patients with newly diagnosed advanced ovarian cancer.

About Epithelial Ovarian Cancer

Epithelial ovarian cancer is the sixth deadliest malignancy among women in the U.S. There are approximately 20,000 new cases of ovarian cancer every year and approximately 70% are diagnosed in advanced stage III/IV. Epithelial ovarian cancer is characterized by dissemination of tumors in the peritoneal cavity with a high risk of recurrence (75%, stage III/IV) after surgery and chemotherapy. Since the five-year survival rates of patients with stage III/IV disease at diagnosis are poor (41% and 20%, respectively), there remains a need for a therapy that not only reduces the recurrence rate but also improves overall survival. The peritoneal cavity of advanced ovarian cancer patients contains the primary tumor environment and is an attractive target for a regional approach to immune modulation.
