Dr. Jason Yang, CEO, President of R&D, and Executive Director at CStone, stated, "We are pleased to receive FDA clearance to proceed with the global Phase II clinical trial of CS2009. This milestone follows a productive interaction with the agency, during which they reviewed our comprehensive Phase I data—including safety and antitumor activity data collected during dose escalation and expansion—and provided alignment on key elements of the Phase II study design, including dose optimization and expansion strategies. We are now actively advancing CS2009 clinical program globally and look forward to sharing further updates as the study progresses."

About CS2009 (PD-1/VEGF/CTLA-4 Trispecific Antibody)

CS2009, an innovative trispecific antibody designed and developed by CStone, with the potential to be first- or best-in-class. It combines three clinically validated targets—PD-1, VEGFA, and CTLA-4—and exerts multidimensional anti-tumor effects through synergistic actions. Specifically, anti-PD-1 activity reverses T cell exhaustion, anti-CTLA-4 activity promotes T cell activation and proliferation, while anti-VEGFA activity blocks tumor angiogenesis and improves the tumor micro-environment (TME). In the TME, anti-PD-1 and anti-CTLA-4 activities are significantly enhanced by crosslinking with VEGFA. Meanwhile, CS2009 preferentially blocks PD-1 and CTLA-4 on double-positive tumor-infiltrating T cells while minimizing interference with CTLA-4 regulation in peripheral T cells.

The ongoing global, multicenter Phase II clinical trial of CS2009 features a multi-cohort, parallel expansion design to evaluate the efficacy, safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) of CS2009 as monotherapy and combination regimens. The study comprises 15 monotherapy and combination therapy cohorts across 9 solid tumor indications, including NSCLC, CRC, TNBC, ES-SCLC, PROC, cervical cancer (CC), hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), gastric or gastroesophageal junction cancer (GC/GEJC), and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). The trial is actively enrolling patients in Australia and China and has received IND clearance in the U.S.

Co-PSMA ("Comparative performance of 64Copper [64Cu]-SAR-bisPSMA vs. 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET CT for the detection of prostate cancer recurrence in the setting of biochemical failure following radical prostatectomy") was led by Prof Louise Emmett at St Vincent’s Hospital Sydney. This Phase II IIT evaluated the performance of Clarity’s diagnostic product, 64Cu-SAR-bisPSMA, in a head-to-head comparison to SOC 68Ga-PSMA-11 in 50 prostate cancer patients with BCR who were candidates for curative salvage therapy. Eligible patients were required to have had radical prostatectomy with no salvage therapy and a PSA level between 0.2 and 0.75 ng/mL. 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT was followed by 64Cu-SAR-bisPSMA PET/CT within 3 weeks (at 1 h and 24 h post-injection, same-day and next-day imaging, respectively), on the same digital PET camera. A standard of truth (SOT) was used to determine accuracy of the PET findings and included biopsy, response to targeted treatment without androgen deprivation therapy [ADT] or corroborative imaging. The primary endpoint of the Co-PSMA study was to assess the difference in mean per patient lesion number.

64Cu-SAR-bisPSMA PET/CT identified a statistically significant greater number of lesions per participant than 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT, with a higher true positive rate also favouring 64Cu-SAR-bisPSMA. The mean per-patient lesion for 64Cu-SAR-bisPSMA was 1.26, compared to 0.48 for 68Ga-PSMA-11, with a difference of 0.78 (95%CI: 0.52 – 1.04), ratio 2.63 (95%CI: 1.64 – 4.20) (p <0.0001). In total, 68Ga-PSMA-11 identified 24 lesions across all participants, while 64Cu-SAR-bisPSMA next-day imaging detected 63 lesions. On a per patient level, 36% (18/50) of participants were positive on 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT, compared to 78% (39/50) on the 64Cu-SAR-bisPSMA PET/CT (next-day imaging). Planned patient management changed following the assessment of the 64Cu-SAR-bisPSMA scans in 22/50 (44%) trial participants. Among the participants with an evaluable SOT, the true positive rate was 75% for 64Cu-SAR-bisPSMA (21/28) compared to 39% (11/28) for 68Ga-PSMA-11.

These results further build on the growing body of evidence showing that 64Cu-SAR-bisPSMA improves the detection of prostate cancer, compared to the current SOC prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) PET agents which are known to have low sensitivity, with limited ability to detect cancer, especially in patients with low PSA levels3,4,5.

Further data outlining results from the Co-PSMA IIT will be announced in mid-March following their oral presentation at the EAU 2026.

Clarity’s Executive Chairperson, Dr Alan Taylor, commented, "The data from the Co-PSMA trial are nothing short of exceptional. We already knew of the significant benefits of the optimised bisPSMA molecule from the early days around 7 years ago, when it was purposely developed to overcome the many shortfalls of the current single-targeting SOC PSMA imaging agents. This innovative benchtop research of the dual-targeting bisPSMA agent quickly progressed to multiple clinical trials, including COBRA6, PROPELLER7 and SECuRE8, which enabled us to secure three Fast Track Designations from the United States (US) Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and advance to two registrational trials, AMPLIFY9 and CLARIFY10, both of which are nearing completion of recruitment.

"Importantly, in the COBRA trial, we also looked at the performance of 64Cu-SAR-bisPSMA in patients with BCR of prostate cancer following definitive therapy, but with participant selection criteria having no limitation on upper PSA levels (median 0.9 ng/mL, range 0.25 to 17.6). The Co-PSMA data we are seeing to date reinforces the COBRA trial findings where more lesions and patients with a positive scan were identified using 64Cu-SAR-bisPSMA compared to SOC PSMA PET products, including 68Ga-PSMA-11 and 18F-DCFPyL6. A subset of participants in the COBRA trial had a follow-up SOC PSMA PET. While 90% of these participants had a positive scan on the initial 64Cu-SAR-bisPSMA next-day imaging, only 60% were positive on SOC PSMA PET, despite median scan time from the first 64Cu-SAR-bisPSMA imaging to the follow-up scan being 73.5 days. The number of lesions across all participants (average sum of lesions across all readers) identified by 64Cu-SAR-bisPSMA on next-day imaging was >2.6 times higher than that detected by SOC PET agents (52.6 vs 20 lesions)6.

"What we are learning today from the head-to-head Co-PSMA study is a valuable insight into how 64Cu-SAR-bisPSMA directly compares against 68Ga-PSMA-11, further bolstering the data seen to date. Similar to COBRA, Co-PSMA demonstrated that our product was able to identify more than 2.5 times total number of lesions on the next-day imaging in comparison to the SOC. Furthermore, 4 out of every 5 participants had a positive scan for prostate cancer using 64Cu-SAR-bisPSMA, compared to only 2 in 5 participants using 68Ga-PSMA-11, therefore making 64Cu-SAR-bisPSMA far more reliable than 68Ga-PSMA-11 in detecting the presence of cancer in these patients. These findings, coupled with the much higher true positive rate of 64Cu-SAR-bisPSMA (75% vs. 39% for 68Ga-PSMA-11), will enable clinicians to treat prostate cancer more effectively and with a greater level of confidence based on the accurate detection of disease. These results speak for themselves, clearly illustrating that 64Cu-SAR-bisPSMA considerably outperforms its competitors in detecting prostate cancer recurrence. Moreover, this sheds light on the importance of the improved lesion detection, where the diagnostic benefits translate into enhanced patient management: almost half of the Co-PSMA and COBRA study participants had a change of their planned disease management as a result of the 64Cu-SAR-bisPSMA findings6, which could be absolutely game-changing for clinicians and their patients. This is the difference between allowing prostate cancer lesions to grow or having a clear diagnosis and an active and highly targeted treatment plan. Earlier intervention in BCR can prevent cancer growth and spread, avoid side effects from systemic therapies and considerably improve patient outcomes.

"The current market for PSMA PET imaging in the US alone is around US$2 billion per year, and this is expected to further grow to over US$3 billion by 2029. Unfortunately, this blockbuster market is dominated by 68Ga-PSMA-11 and 18F-DCFPyL, both of which have low sensitivity4,5. The development pipeline of new products, excluding 64Cu-SAR-bisPSMA, offers no significant differentiation from the existing agents, with some new entrants commercialising the unpatented 68Ga-PSMA-11 agent, which has been capitalised on by three separate groups already. Time and time again we are seeing significant clinical and logistical benefits offered by 64Cu-SAR-bisPSMA through our trials. We strongly believe this product could not only become the new SOC in PSMA PET but also grow the market opportunity further by substantially improving the diagnosis of prostate cancer in many stages of the disease, from its early phases pre-definitive therapy, through to better identification of lesions in the BCR setting, including in patients with oligometastatic disease.

"While the AMPLIFY and CLARIFY trials are key to getting 64Cu-SAR-bisPSMA towards commercialisation, Co-PSMA provides further evidence of its benefits to clinicians and prostate cancer patients. This makes the paradigm shift towards improved diagnostics a no-brainer due to our relentless focus on rigorous clinical development and commitment to strong science to change the lives of people living with cancer. The acceptance of the Co-PSMA data by a world-leading urology conference as an oral presentation is a testament to the strength and quality of the data, generated by Prof Emmett, a global key opinion leader in the field."

Prof Louise Emmett (St Vincent’s Hospital Sydney), Principal Investigator in the Co-PSMA trial, commented, "While approved PSMA PET agents are highly specific, their low sensitivity at low PSA levels means that many patients with early rising PSA show no detectable disease, making treatment planning challenging. More sensitive diagnostics that remain highly specific are needed for effective early intervention in BCR. Our research demonstrates that 64Cu-SAR-bisPSMA PET/CT offers a significant advancement in the detection of recurrent prostate cancer. Compared to 68Ga-PSMA-11, the 24-hour 64Cu-SAR-bisPSMA images identified the site of disease recurrence in a higher proportion of patients, directly informing tailored treatment decisions for men in BCR. These findings highlight the potential for 64Cu-SAR-bisPSMA to improve patient outcomes."

"We delivered strong clinical results in 2025 with our ABILITY-1 trial and 2026 is shaping up to be a milestone-rich year across our pipeline," said Dr Fahar Merchant, President and CEO of Medicenna. "MDNA11 continues to deliver best-in-class efficacy results in multiple solid tumors, following failure of other block-buster immunotherapies where the needs of cancer patients remain largely unfulfilled. MDNA113, our tumor targeted bi-functional conditionally activated anti-PD1-IL-2, is advancing towards IND enabling studies and has demonstrated solid efficacy signals in pre-clinical models and excellent tolerability in preliminary non-human primate studies. This year, we plan to file an IND for MDNA113 and arrange an End of Phase 1 meeting with the FDA for a potential registrational trial with MDNA11. As we execute on these programs, we remain committed on advancing high-impact opportunities that have the potential to improve standards of care for patients with cancer, drive partnerships, strengthen our balance sheet and build shareholder value."

PROGRAM AND BUSINESS UPDATE
Highlights for the three months ended December 31, 2025, along with recent developments, include:

MDNA11: ‘β-Enhanced Not-α’ Interleukin 2 Super Agonist

MDNA11 Clinical Data Update:

On January 16, 2026, Medicenna updated expansion cohort data demonstrating MDNA11’s best-in-class anti-tumor activity. When administered as a 2L/3L systemic treatment or as next line following resistance to checkpoint therapy, MDNA11 achieved a monotherapy objective response rate ("ORR") of 36% and a disease control rate ("DCR") of 86% (N=14), and when combined with pembrolizumab ORR was 43% and DCR was 72% (N=14).
ABILITY-1 Enrollment and Update:

Consequently, as a result of these compelling data, Medicenna is completing enrollment in the expansion portions of the ABILITY-1 study by enrolling patients where MDNA11 will be administered as 2/3L Tx or immediately following checkpoint-resistance.

Tumor types currently enrolling are: MSI-H, TMB-H, cutaneous melanoma, endometrial (combination only), non-small cell lung cancer (combination only), and colorectal cancer (mono- and combination in TMB-H and MSI-H cohorts). NSCLC and colorectal cancer cohorts have been added due to prior data demonstrating strong potential of IL-2 therapy in these cancers and have blockbuster market opportunities. Medicenna anticipates sharing updated clinical results from the ABILITY-1 study in H2 2026.

Medicenna anticipates completing enrollment of expansion cohorts in the ABILITY-1 study and is planning for an end-of-phase 1 meeting with the FDA, allowing for alignment regarding potential registrational trials.
NEO-CYT Trial:

In collaboration with the Fondazione Melanoma Onlus, the NEO-CYT Trial is a randomized, multi-centre neoadjuvant study in high-risk, resectable Stage III melanoma, evaluating MDNA11 in combination with nivolumab, with or without ipilimumab.

NEO‑CYT is designed to prospectively evaluate the potential of MDNA11 to enhance the efficacy of standard-of-care cancer immunotherapy in the neoadjuvant setting. Specifically, whether Medicenna’s best‑in‑class IL‑2 agonist can deepen neoadjuvant pathologic responses predictive of patient outcomes when added to established anti-PD‑1 ± anti-CTLA‑4 regimens at a time when the tumor is still present to optimize the anti-tumor immune response.

Medicenna anticipates sharing interim clinical data from this study in neoadjuvant melanoma in H2 2026.

MDNA113: First-in-Class Tumor-anchored and Activatable ‘Masked’ Anti-PD-1-IL-2 BiSKIT

MDNA113 is our most advanced pre-clinical asset encompassing both, the T-MASK and BiSKIT platforms. It is a novel first-in-class tumor targeted and activatable bifunctional anti-PD1-IL-2 superkine.
MDNA113 is advancing through preclinical development with plans to commence a first-in-human trial in H2 2026.
Non-human primate studies are currently underway, with updated data demonstrating its potential to dramatically widen the therapeutic index, and has shown a favorable safety profile in non-human primates at the highest tested dose of 30 mg/kg, supporting the potential for human dosing comparable to approved anti-PD-1 therapies.

Bizaxofusp (formerly MDNA55): IL-4 Superkine – Treatment of Recurrent Glioblastoma ("rGBM")

Medicenna’s phase 3 ready asset for rGBM, bizaxofusp, to-date, has been tested in 118 patients with high grade gliomas (including 112 patients with rGBM) and most recently completed a successful Phase 2b (N=44) trial for nonresectable rGBM where it demonstrated a doubling of median overall survival ("mOS") to 13.6 months in the WHO-defined IDHWT high-dose population compared to the standard-of-care mOS of 7 months.
Medicenna will present updated internal and external data sets related to bizaxofusp (MDNA55) at the 7th Annual Glioblastoma Development Summit to be held in Boston from 17-19 February 2026.
Title: Surmounting Barriers in Non-resectable Recurrent Glioblastoma with a Single Treatment of Bizaxofusp, an Engineered IL-4R Directed Fusion Protein
Time: Thursday, February 19, 2026, at 10:00 AM Eastern Time
Presenter: Dr. Fahar Merchant, President & CEO of Medicenna Therapeutics
Medicenna is actively pursuing strategic partnerships to advance the program into a registrational trial, and is preparing the program for commercialization and its subsequent launch in various countries where marketing authorization is granted.

CHANGE TO BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Medicenna announced changes to its Board of Directors. Mr. Richard Sutin and Mr. Angelos Georgakis have been appointed to the Board of Directors of the Company. Mr. Sutin and Mr. Georgakis’s appointments to the Board follow the retirement of Ms. Karen Dawes, who has served on the Board since 2019, most recently as Chair of the Compensation Committee and as a member of the Audit Committee.

QUARTERLY FINANCIAL RESULTS

Medicenna exited the quarter ended December 31, 2025, with cash and cash equivalents of $10.6 million. Based on the Company’s current operating plan, these funds are expected to be sufficient to fund planned operations into the third quarter of 2026.

For the three months ended December 31, 2025, the Company reported total operating costs of $5.6 million compared to $5.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to a $0.5 million increase in research and development ("R&D") expenditures related to higher MDNA11 clinical trial costs in the current quarter relative to the comparable period. General and administrative ("G&A") costs were consistent year over year.

Net loss for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, was $4.4 million, or $0.05 per share, compared to a net loss of $5.2 million, or $0.07 per share, for the three months ended December 31, 2024. The $0.8 million decrease in net loss was primarily due to a $2.9 million increase in the gain on the fair value of the derivative warrant liability, partially offset by a $1.3 million decrease in foreign exchange gain, a $0.5 million increase in R&D expenses, and a $0.3 million decrease in finance income.

R&D expenses were $4.1 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, compared to $3.6 million for the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily driven by higher clinical costs associated with the expansion of the MDNA11 ABILITY-1 study to additional clinical sites and increased patient enrollment, as well as the initiation of the NEO-CYT trial during the quarter. G&A expenses were $1.5 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, consistent with $1.5 million for the same period in 2024, reflecting stable operating activities year over year.

Medicenna’s financial statements for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025, and the related management’s discussion and analysis (MD&A) will be available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.

According to a study by the American Cancer Society, only about 20% of eligible individuals in the U.S. were screened for lung cancer in 2024. Closing the gap and achieving full participation among eligible individuals could prevent an estimated 62,110 lung cancer deaths over five years. eyonis LCS is an AI-based CADe/CADx software as a medical device (SaMD) for lung cancer screening. It enables clinicians to not only detect lung nodules but also characterize and risk stratify them from the same CT image without additional steps in the workflow. eyonis LCS received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) earlier this month.

Through this collaboration, Tempus will integrate eyonis LCS into Tempus Pixel1, an FDA-cleared, CE-marked AI-enabled solution that provides advanced analysis, tools, and automated reporting from radiology images to help providers accurately track and quantify lesions. The integration of eyonis LCS will enable non-invasive characterization of CT identified lung nodules at the time of nodule detection with its proprietary nodule malignancy score, a feature that will allow clinical teams to stratify and prioritize patients in lung cancer screening programs.

"Activating our distribution collaboration with Tempus AI is a decisive step in bringing eyonis LCS to patients at national scale," said Fredrik Brag, CEO and Founder of Median Technologies. "Tempus’ strong leadership in AI-enabled precision medicine, deeply integrated data-technology ecosystem, and strong market presence make them an exceptional partner to drive rapid and high-impact adoption of eyonis LCS across the United States."

"We believe AI reaches its full potential when it helps clinicians identify disease earlier and more accurately," said Razik Yousfi, Tempus SVP & GM, AI Products. "By expanding our Pixel platform with sophisticated lung cancer screening AI tools, we are enabling radiologists to manage complex caseloads while prioritizing early-stage detection. Our collaboration with Median Technologies is about more than technology; it’s about improving the standard of care and preventing avoidable deaths through better screening access."

Tempus has significantly expanded its diagnostic capabilities by developing and deploying a suite of advanced algorithms across radiology and pathology, helping clinicians deliver more precise, personalized care. In 2022, Tempus acquired Arterys, incorporating its AI-driven imaging tools—ranging from lung CTs and chest X-rays to cardiac MRIs—into the Tempus ecosystem. This was followed by the acquisition of Paige, which contributed a proprietary dataset of almost 7 million clinically annotated, de-identified pathology slides to further accelerate Tempus’ efforts.
