Addressing an Unmet Need in Prostate Cancer Care
Excluding skin cancer, prostate cancer is the most common cancer among men in the United States, with more than 330,000 new cases expected each year. PTEN is a tumor suppressor protein that plays a critical role in regulating cell growth. Loss of PTEN protein expression has been associated with more aggressive disease progression and reduced benefit from current standard-of-care therapies in prostate cancer. Until recently, there were no approved treatment options specifically targeting this biology.

The VENTANA PTEN (SP218) RxDx Assay is a companion diagnostic designed to detect PTEN protein loss in prostate cancer tissue specimens, providing clinicians with important biomarker information to help guide treatment decisions and support personalized patient care.

"Biomarker testing is essential to advancing precision oncology and helping connect patients with the therapies most appropriate for their disease," said Shakti Ramkissoon, M.D., Ph.D., vice president, medical lead for oncology at Labcorp. "The launch of the VENTANA PTEN (SP218) RxDx Assay underscores how Labcorp is expanding access to innovative companion diagnostics and delivering the timely insights physicians need to make personalized treatment decisions."

Advancing Access to FDA-Approved Companion Diagnostics
Labcorp participated in Roche’s early access program to support Day 1 laboratory readiness for the assay, reinforcing the company’s commitment to helping patients gain timely access to newly approved targeted therapies and the companion diagnostics needed to identify eligible patients.

The VENTANA PTEN (SP218) RxDx Assay is now available through Labcorp’s national network of laboratories and complements the company’s comprehensive portfolio of genomic, molecular and companion diagnostic testing services that support precision oncology care. As one of the nation’s largest providers of oncology testing services, Labcorp enables physicians across community and academic settings to access FDA-approved companion diagnostics at scale, helping bring precision medicine to more patients regardless of where they receive care. The assay can also be ordered alongside Labcorp’s broader portfolio of oncology testing services, providing clinicians with comprehensive biomarker insights from a single laboratory partner.

About ROS1+ NSCLC
Each year, more than one million people globally are diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), the most common form of lung cancer. It is estimated that approximately 2% of patients with NSCLC have ROS1+ disease. About 35% of patients newly diagnosed with metastatic ROS1+ NSCLC have tumors that have spread to their brain. The brain is also the most common site of disease progression, with about 50% of previously treated patients developing central nervous system (CNS) metastases.

About IBTROZI
IBTROZI is an oral, potent, CNS-active, selective, next-generation ROS1 inhibitor therapy. On June 11, 2025, following Priority Review and Breakthrough Therapy designations for both TKI-naive and TKI-pretreated disease, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved taletrectinib for the treatment of adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic ROS1+ NSCLC. Learn more about taletrectinib in the U.S. at IBTROZI.com.

About the TRUST Clinical Program
The TRUST clinical program comprises three registrational studies evaluating the safety and efficacy of IBTROZI. TRUST-I (NCT04395677) and TRUST-II (NCT04919811) are Phase 2 single-arm studies evaluating IBTROZI for the treatment of adults with advanced ROS1+ NSCLC in China (N=173) and globally (N=189), respectively. The primary endpoint of both studies is confirmed objective response rate (cORR) as assessed by an independent review committee. TRUST-IV (NCT07154706) is a Phase 3 placebo-controlled study evaluating IBTROZI for the adjuvant treatment of adults with resected early-stage ROS1+ NSCLC. The study will enroll approximately 180 patients in the U.S., Canada, Europe, Japan and China. The primary endpoint is disease-free survival as determined by investigator, and the primary completion date is estimated to be in 2030. Nuvation Bio is also sponsoring TRUST-III (NCT06564324), a confirmatory randomized Phase 3 study evaluating IBTROZI versus crizotinib in 194 patients in China with advanced ROS1+ NSCLC who have not previously received ROS1 TKIs.

U.S. Indication
IBTROZI is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic ROS1+ non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION FOR IBTROZI (taletrectinib)

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

Hepatotoxicity: Hepatotoxicity, including drug-induced liver injury and fatal adverse reactions, can occur. 88% of patients experienced increased AST, including 10% Grade 3/4. 85% of patients experienced increased ALT, including 13% Grade 3/4. Fatal liver events occurred in 0.6% of patients. Median time to first onset of AST or ALT elevation was 15 days (range: 3 days to 20.8 months).

Increased AST or ALT each led to dose interruption in 7% of patients and dose reduction in 5% and 9% of patients, respectively. Permanent discontinuation was caused by increased AST, ALT, or bilirubin each in 0.3% and by hepatotoxicity in 0.6% of patients.

Concurrent elevations in AST or ALT ≥3 times the ULN and total bilirubin ≥2 times the ULN, with normal alkaline phosphatase, occurred in 0.6% of patients.

Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD)/Pneumonitis: Severe, life-threatening, or fatal ILD or pneumonitis can occur. ILD/pneumonitis occurred in 2.3% of patients, including 1.1% Grade 3/4. One fatal ILD case occurred at the 400 mg daily dose. Median time to first onset of ILD/pneumonitis was 3.8 months (range: 12 days to 11.8 months).

ILD/pneumonitis led to dose interruption in 1.1% of patients, dose reduction in 0.6% of patients, and permanent discontinuation in 0.6% of patients.

QTc Interval Prolongation: QTc interval prolongation can occur, which can increase the risk for ventricular tachyarrhythmias (e.g., torsades de pointes) or sudden death. IBTROZI prolongs the QTc interval in a concentration-dependent manner.

In patients who received IBTROZI and underwent at least one post baseline ECG, QTcF increase of >60 msec compared to baseline and QTcF >500 msec occurred in 13% and 2.6% of patients, respectively. 3.4% of patients experienced Grade ≥3. Median time from first dose of IBTROZI to onset of ECG QT prolongation was 22 days (range: 1 day to 38.7 months). Dose interruption and dose reduction each occurred in 2.8% of patients.

Significant QTc interval prolongation may occur when IBTROZI is taken with food, strong and moderate CYP3A inhibitors, and/or drugs with a known potential to prolong QTc. Administer IBTROZI on an empty stomach. Avoid concomitant use with strong and moderate CYP3A inhibitors and/or drugs with a known potential to prolong QTc.

Hyperuricemia: Hyperuricemia can occur and was reported in 14% of patients, with 16% of these requiring urate-lowering medication without pre-existing gout or hyperuricemia. 0.3% of patients experienced Grade ≥3. Median time to first onset was 2.1 months (range: 7 days to 35.8 months). Dose interruption occurred in 0.3% of patients.

Myalgia with Creatine Phosphokinase (CPK) Elevation: Myalgia with or without CPK elevation can occur. Myalgia occurred in 10% of patients. Median time to first onset was 11 days (range: 2 days to 10 months).

Concurrent myalgia with increased CPK within a 7-day time period occurred in 0.9% of patients. Dose interruption occurred in 0.3% of patients with myalgia and concurrent CPK elevation.

Skeletal Fractures: IBTROZI can increase the risk of fractures. ROS1 inhibitors as a class have been associated with skeletal fractures. 3.4% of patients experienced fractures, including 1.4% Grade 3. Some fractures occurred in the setting of a fall or other predisposing factors. Median time to first onset of fracture was 10.7 months (range: 26 days to 29.1 months). Dose interruption occurred in 0.3% of patients.

Embryo-Fetal Toxicity: Based on literature, animal studies, and its mechanism of action, IBTROZI can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman.

ADVERSE REACTIONS
Among patients who received IBTROZI, the most frequently reported adverse reactions (≥20%) were diarrhea (64%), nausea (47%), vomiting (43%), dizziness (22%), rash (22%), constipation (21%), and fatigue (20%).

The most frequently reported Grade 3/4 laboratory abnormalities (≥5%) were increased ALT (13%), increased AST (10%), decreased neutrophils (5%), and increased creatine phosphokinase (5%).

DRUG INTERACTIONS

Strong and Moderate CYP3A Inhibitors/CYP3A Inducers and Drugs that Prolong the QTc Interval: Avoid concomitant use.
Gastric Acid Reducing Agents: Avoid concomitant use with PPIs and H2 receptor antagonists. If an acid-reducing agent cannot be avoided, administer locally acting antacids at least 2 hours before or 2 hours after taking IBTROZI.
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS

Pregnancy: Please see important information in Warnings and Precautions under Embryo-Fetal Toxicity.
Lactation: Advise women not to breastfeed during treatment and for 3 weeks after the last dose.
Effect on Fertility: Based on findings in animals, IBTROZI may impair fertility in males and females. The effects on animal fertility were reversible.
Pediatric Use: The safety and effectiveness of IBTROZI in pediatric patients has not been established.
Photosensitivity: IBTROZI can cause photosensitivity. Advise patients to minimize sun exposure and to use sun protection, including broad-spectrum sunscreen, during treatment and for at least 5 days after discontinuation.

"September marks an important milestone for TYRA as we prepare to share initial clinical data from SURF302 evaluating oral dabogratinib in intermediate-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (IR NMIBC). Patients with IR NMIBC often endure a lifelong cycle of recurrent disease, repeated surgical procedures, catheterization, and ongoing surveillance, highlighting the need for more convenient and effective treatment options. We believe dabogratinib has the potential to redefine the treatment paradigm as the first targeted oral therapy for FGFR3-driven IR NMIBC, addressing the underlying biology of the disease while offering the convenience of an oral therapy," said Todd Harris, PhD, President and Chief Executive Officer of TYRA.

Dr. Harris continued, "Beyond SURF302, we continue to advance our broader pipeline, including progressing BEACH301 to a fifth dose level in achondroplasia, and strengthening our skeletal dysplasia leadership with the addition of Jonathan Day, whose work was instrumental in the development of vosoritide. Across our portfolio, we remain focused on realizing the full potential of oral dabogratinib for patients with FGFR3-driven conditions and diseases."

"Over the past decade, I’ve had the privilege of helping advance therapies that have transformed the treatment landscape for children with achondroplasia. I believe there is still meaningful opportunity to further improve outcomes, and TYRA’s highly selective approach to FGFR3 inhibition offers a compelling opportunity to do just that," commented Dr. Day, TYRA’s newly appointed Executive Vice President, Clinical Development. "I’m excited to join the team and help advance dabogratinib as we work to develop a differentiated oral therapy for children with achondroplasia and their families."

Second Quarter and Recent Corporate Highlights

Dabogratinib 3×3 Strategy

In the second quarter of 2026, TYRA continued to advance its "dabogratinib 3×3" strategy: developing the first orally available, FGFR3-selective inhibitor in 3 future potentially pivotal clinical studies to support regulatory submissions with the aim to commercialize in 3 potential blockbuster indications: LG-UTUC, IR NMIBC and ACH.

Phase 2 LG-UTUC Study – SURF303. SURF303 is a Phase 2a/b, multicenter, open-label study designed with pivotal intent to evaluate the efficacy and safety of oral dabogratinib at two QD doses (60 mg and 80 mg) in participants with low-grade upper tract urothelial carcinoma (LG-UTUC), a rare cancer where approximately 85% of tumors are driven by FGFR3. Initial results from this study are expected in 2027.
Phase 2 IR NMIBC Study – SURF302. SURF302 is a Phase 2, multicenter, open-label clinical study evaluating the efficacy and safety of oral dabogratinib at two QD doses (50 mg and 60 mg) in participants with FGFR3-altered low-grade IR NMIBC. The Company will host a conference call and webcast in September 2026 to report initial results from the SURF302 study, including safety results from more than 40 patients and efficacy from more than 20 patients in the aggregate at both QD dose levels.
Phase 2 ACH Study – BEACH301. BEACH301 is a Phase 2, multicenter, open-label, dose-escalation/dose-expansion study evaluating oral dabogratinib in children ages 3 to 10 with achondroplasia (ACH). The study has enrolled the safety sentinel cohort and successfully cleared four dose levels, with no notable safety events reported to date. Given the favorable safety profile seen to date across dose levels 1 through 4 in BEACH301, the Data Safety Monitoring Committee authorized the opening of a fifth dose level to evaluate 0.625 mg/kg in the safety sentinel cohort. Initial results from the safety sentinel cohort, including 6-month annualized height velocity and safety data for dose levels 1-5, which will include an aggregate of approximately 25 children, are expected to be reported at the end of Q1 2027.
Corporate

Appointed Jonathan Day as EVP, Clinical Development for Skeletal Dysplasia Conditions. In June 2026, TYRA appointed Jonathan Day, MBBS, PhD, FFPM, FESC, as Executive Vice President, Clinical Development, where he will lead the Company’s development program and clinical strategy for oral dabogratinib in skeletal dysplasia conditions. Dr. Day is a physician-scientist and pharmaceutical executive with extensive experience leading late-stage clinical development programs in rare diseases. At BioMarin Pharmaceutical, he served as Head of R&D for the Skeletal Conditions Business Unit (previously Group Vice President, Late-Stage Clinical Development), where he led the global clinical development strategy for the company’s skeletal dysplasia portfolio, including vosoritide (Voxzogo) for achondroplasia. Before joining BioMarin, Dr. Day was Vice President and Global Medical Lead for Acute Cardiovascular Care at The Medicines Company, and earlier served as Medical Director for the UK & Ireland at AstraZeneca. Prior to industry, he trained in cardiothoracic surgery and completed a PhD at Imperial College London focused on thrombin inhibition and cardiovascular medicine. He is also a Fellow of the European Society of Cardiology and the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Medicine.
Amended ATM Sales Agreement. In August 2026, TYRA entered into an amended sales agreement with TD Securities (USA) LLC, under which TYRA may sell up to the amount registered on an effective registration statement under which the offering is made, subject to other limitations. Pursuant to the amended sales agreement, as of the date hereof, TYRA may sell an additional $250.0 million of shares of its common stock from time to time in "at-the-market" offerings.
SNÅP Platform and Pipeline

TYRA continued to advance its in-house precision medicine discovery engine, SNÅP, used to develop therapies in targeted oncology and genetically defined conditions.
Second Quarter Financial Results

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities. As of June 30, 2026, TYRA had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $353.9 million. The Company’s current cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities are expected to allow TYRA to execute on its plans into the second half of 2028.
Research and Development (R&D) Expenses. R&D expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2026 were $39.2 million compared to $24.3 million for the same period in 2025. The increase was primarily associated with development activities for oral dabogratinib, supporting the ongoing SURF303, SURF302 and BEACH301 clinical trials, partially offset by a decrease in development activities for other programs. There were also increases in personnel expenses, driven by headcount growth to support expanding clinical and development activities, and expenses for facilities and other costs.
General and Administrative (G&A) Expenses. G&A expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2026 were $9.8 million compared to $7.1 million for the same period in 2025. The increase was primarily driven by higher compensation and other personnel costs, driven by headcount growth.
Net Loss. Second quarter net loss was $45.6 million compared to $28.1 million for the same period in 2025.
Upcoming Anticipated Clinical Milestones:

SURF303: initial results – 2027
SURF302: initial results from both dose cohorts – September 2026
BEACH301: initial results from dose levels 1-5 of safety sentinel cohort – end of Q1 2027
About Dabogratinib (formerly TYRA-300)

Dabogratinib is TYRA’s lead precision medicine candidate stemming from its in-house SNÅP platform. Dabogratinib is an investigational, oral, FGFR3-selective inhibitor currently in Phase 2 development for the treatment of urologic cancers and skeletal dysplasias, specifically LG-UTUC, IR NMIBC and ACH. We believe dabogratinib was the first orally available, FGFR3-selective inhibitor to enter clinical development, and it has been studied in more than 200 individuals to date across multiple clinical and healthy volunteer studies.

Oral dabogratinib is currently advancing in three Phase 2 clinical trials for LG-UTUC (SURF303), IR NMIBC (SURF302), and ACH (BEACH301). The FDA has granted Orphan Drug Designation and Rare Pediatric Disease Designation to oral dabogratinib for the treatment of achondroplasia.

"We delivered another quarter of strong commercial results, with both our medicines now annualizing at well over $200 million each and positioned for further growth," said Michael A. Metzger, Chief Executive Officer. "Notably, we achieved $55 million in Revuforj net revenue and the sixth consecutive quarter of double-digit net revenue and prescription growth, highlighting our leadership in menin inhibition, robust demand in both NPM1 and KMT2A, and an increasing average treatment duration. Niktimvo net revenue grew to $60 million this quarter, underscoring the benefits of its unique mechanism of action in cGVHD and the substantial commercial opportunity."

Mr. Metzger continued, "We’ve made excellent progress advancing our growing pipeline targeting multiple blockbuster opportunities, including two recently announced assets with first- and best-in-class potential in EGFR-mutated NSCLC and myelofibrosis. We are positioned to be first to frontline AML with Revuforj, driven by strong global site initiation and patient enrollment in our pivotal trials. We also have multiple near-term catalysts with Niktimvo Phase 2 data in IPF and frontline cGVHD expected in the fourth quarter, plus additional practice-informing and potentially guideline-enabling Revuforj data in acute leukemia."

Recent Business Highlights and Anticipated Milestones

Revuforj (revumenib)

•
Achieved $54.7 million in Revuforj net revenue in the second quarter of 2026, a 91% increase over the second quarter of 2025 and a 12% increase over the first quarter of 2026. Total prescriptions were approximately 1,500 in the second quarter of 2026, an approximate 121% increase over the second quarter of 2025 and a 15% increase over the first quarter of 2026. The net revenue and prescription growth reflects an increasing average treatment duration, primarily driven by a growing pool of patients receiving Revuforj for an extended period in the post-transplant setting.
•
Advanced the Company’s scientific leadership in menin inhibition with the presentation of 16 revumenib abstracts at the 2026 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) (Free ASCO Whitepaper) and the European Hematology Association (EHA) (Free EHA Whitepaper) annual meetings in June 2026. The data presented span multiple acute leukemia subtypes and settings, including frontline and post-transplant maintenance.
•
Published data from the Phase 1/2 SAVE trial of an all-oral combination of revumenib, decitabine/cedazuridine, and venetoclax in relapsed/refractory (R/R) NPM1-mutated (NPM1m), KMT2A-rearranged (KMT2Ar), and NUP98-rearranged (NUP98r) acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in the Journal of Clinical Oncology in June 2026. The results showed deep and durable remissions in a heavily pretreated patient population. The ORR was 88% (37/42), CRc was 71% (30/42), and CR/CRh was 60% (25/42). 80% of evaluable CRc responders were measurable residual disease (MRD) negative. 45% (19/42) of patients proceeded to a transplant and 63% (12/19) resumed revumenib post-transplant.

EVOLVE-2: A pivotal, Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of revumenib in combination with venetoclax and azacitidine in newly diagnosed NPM1m (primary efficacy analysis population) and KMT2Ar AML patients who are unfit for intensive chemotherapy. The trial is being conducted in collaboration with the HOVON network, a leading cooperative clinical trial group with extensive experience studying novel therapies for hematologic malignancies.
•
REVEAL-ND: A pivotal, Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of revumenib in combination with intensive chemotherapy in newly diagnosed NPM1m AML patients.
•
SAVE: A Phase 1/2 trial evaluating an all-oral combination of revumenib with venetoclax and decitabine/cedazuridine in pediatric and adult patients with newly diagnosed and R/R AML or mixed-lineage acute leukemia harboring either NPM1m, KMT2Ar, or NUP98r alterations. The trial is being conducted by investigators from MD Anderson Cancer Center.
•
Intensive chemotherapy: Two ongoing Phase 1 trials evaluating the combination of revumenib with intensive chemotherapy (7+3) in newly diagnosed NPM1m or KMT2Ar acute leukemia patients.
•
BEAT AML: A Phase 1 trial evaluating the combination of revumenib with venetoclax and azacitidine in newly diagnosed older adults (≥60 years) with NPM1m or KMT2Ar AML. The trial is being conducted as part of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Beat AML Master Clinical Trial.
•
Post-transplant maintenance: A Phase 1 trial evaluating the safety and preliminary efficacy of revumenib as post-transplant maintenance in patients with KMT2Ar or NPM1m acute leukemia. The trial is being conducted by investigators from the City of Hope Medical Center.

Pipeline Assets

SNDX-4321

•
In July 2026, the Company announced the expansion of its pipeline with SNDX-4321, a mutant-selective, CNS-penetrant, allosteric EGFR inhibitor. SNDX-4321 is in development for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patient populations with significant unmet needs, such as those with L858R mutations, CNS metastases, atypical activating mutations, or acquired resistance to current therapies. In contrast to ATP-site directed third and fourth generation EGFR inhibitors, SNDX-4321 is a novel allosteric inhibitor which binds at a pocket adjacent to the ATP site that is only accessible in the presence of L858R and certain other EGFR mutations.
•
The Company expects to submit an investigational new drug (IND) application for SNDX-4321 by the end of 2026 and to initiate a Phase 1 trial in EGFRm NSCLC in 2027.
SNDX-62122

•
In July 2026, the Company announced the selection of SNDX-62122, a next-generation menin inhibitor, for development in MF. SNDX-62122 is the first candidate from a library of internally developed, wholly owned next-generation menin inhibitors that the Company intends to advance into new areas.
•
The Company expects to submit an IND and initiate a Phase 1 trial of SNDX-62122 in MF in 2027. The development of SNDX-62122 will be informed by a Phase 1/2 proof-of-principle trial of revumenib in MF that is expected to initiate in the fourth quarter of 2026 with initial clinical data expected in the second half of 2027.
Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results

As of June 30, 2026, Syndax had cash, cash equivalents, and short- and long-term investments of $575.1 million and 89.4 million common shares and prefunded warrants outstanding.

Total revenue for the second quarter of 2026 was $72.8 million, which consisted of $54.7 million in Revuforj net revenue and $18.1 million in Niktimvo collaboration revenue. The Niktimvo collaboration revenue is derived from the $60.3 million in Niktimvo net revenue that was previously reported by the Company’s partner Incyte for the second quarter 2026. Syndax records 50% of the Niktimvo net commercial profit, defined as net revenue (recorded by Incyte) minus the cost of sales and commercial expenses.

Second quarter 2026 research and development expenses increased to $68.0 million from $62.2 million for the comparable prior year period. The year-over-year change was primarily the result of increased expenses associated with frontline trials evaluating revumenib in combination with standard-of-care agents in the treatment of AML.

Second quarter 2026 selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $41.5 million from $43.8 million for the comparable prior year period. The year-over-year change was primarily the result of decreased commercial expenses due to launch costs incurred in the second quarter of 2025 for Revuforj and Niktimvo that were not incurred in the same period in 2026.

For the six months ended June 30, 2026, Syndax reported a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $49.4 million, or $0.55 per share, compared to a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $71.8 million, or $0.83 per share, for the comparable prior year period.

Financial Guidance

For the full year of 2026, the Company continues to expect total research and development plus selling, general and administrative expenses to be approximately $400 million, excluding the impact of $50 million in estimated non-cash stock compensation expense.

Syndax expects that its cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, combined with its anticipated product revenue, collaboration revenue and interest income, will enable the Company to reach profitability.
