This clinical milestone highlights the medical community’s strong interest in Biosion’s oncology assets and follows the company’s recent transformative partnership with Aclaris Therapeutics for its immunology portfolio.

Collaborating to Unlock Innate Immunity

BSI-082 is engineered to block the CD47-SIRPα "don’t eat me" signal, a critical checkpoint tumor cells use to evade macrophage phagocytosis. Unlike other candidates in the class, BSI-082 was designed using Biosion’s proprietary H³ Antibody Discovery Platform to overcome historical development challenges.

Key differentiators of BSI-082 include:

Broad Population Coverage: High-affinity binding to SIRPα variants V1, V2, and V8, covering >90% of the human population.
Superior Safety Profile: Engineered Fc domain minimizes binding to red blood cells (RBCs) and platelets, significantly reducing the risk of anemia and thrombocytopenia often seen with anti-CD47 therapies.
Preserved T-Cell Function: No binding to SIRPγ, ensuring that adaptive immune responses remain active and uninhibited.
"The initiation of this trial by a premier institution like the Mays Cancer Center serves as powerful validation of BSI-082’s scientific rationale and therapeutic potential," said Mingjiu Chen, Ph.D., Founder and CEO of Biosion. "BSI-082’s unique profile—specifically its ability to potently block the ‘don’t eat me’ signal without compromising patient safety—positions it as an ideal combination partner for standard-of-care therapies, particularly antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs). We are honored to support Dr. Sarantopoulos and his team in this study, which represents a key step in our strategy to maximize the value of our oncology assets through high-quality clinical partnerships."

Study Design and Strategic Combinations

The Phase 1a/1b study is an open-label, dose-escalation and dose-expansion trial designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary antitumor activity of BSI-082 in patients with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors.

Phase 1a: Will establish the Recommended Dose for Expansion (RDE) of BSI-082 as a monotherapy.
Phase 1b: Will evaluate BSI-082 in combination with trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) in patients with HER2-positive solid tumors. Preclinical data has demonstrated that SIRPα blockade can synergistically enhance the antitumor activity of ADCs by promoting antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis (ADCP).
"Targeting the innate immune system via the SIRPα-CD47 axis offers a compelling therapeutic strategy for refractory tumors," said John Sarantopoulos, M.D., associate professor of medicine in the Division of Hematology and Oncology, medical oncologist, and principal investigator at the Mays Cancer Center. "We are excited to lead the clinical evaluation of BSI-082, whose design addresses key limitations of earlier generation agents. We look forward to exploring its potential to improve outcomes for patients, particularly in combination with ADCs."

"Amgen delivered strong performance in 2025, with double-digit growth in revenues and earnings per share. We enter 2026 with momentum across a broad portfolio of medicines and a clear path towards advancing innovative therapies to deliver sustained long-term growth," said Robert A. Bradway, chairman and chief executive officer.

Key results include:

For the fourth quarter, total revenues increased 9% to $9.9 billion in comparison to the fourth quarter of 2024.
Product sales grew 7%, driven by 10% volume growth, partially offset by 4% lower net selling price.
For the full year, total revenues increased 10% to $36.8 billion in comparison to the full year of 2024.
Product sales grew 10%, driven by 13% volume growth, partially offset by 3% lower net selling price.
Eighteen products achieved record sales for the full year.
Fourteen products exceeded one billion dollars in annual sales.
Thirteen products delivered at least double-digit sales growth for the full year.
GAAP earnings per share (EPS) increased 111% from $1.16 to $2.45 for the fourth quarter, driven by higher revenues and lower net unrealized losses on equity investments, partially offset by higher operating expenses. For the full year, GAAP EPS increased 88% from $7.56 to $14.23, driven by higher revenues and net unrealized gains on our BeOne Medicines Ltd. (BeOne) equity investment, partially offset by higher operating expenses, including Otezla (apremilast) intangible asset impairment charges of $1.2 billion recorded in 2025, following the selection of Otezla for Medicare price setting, as part of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).
For the fourth quarter, GAAP operating income increased from $2.3 billion to $2.7 billion, and GAAP operating margin increased 2.5 percentage points to 29.0%. For the full year, GAAP operating income increased from $7.3 billion to $9.1 billion, and GAAP operating margin increased 3.1 percentage points to 25.8%.
Non-GAAP EPS remained relatively unchanged from $5.31 to $5.29 for the fourth quarter as higher operating expenses were partially offset by higher revenues. For the full year, non-GAAP EPS increased 10% from $19.84 to $21.84, driven by higher revenues, partially offset by higher operating expenses.
For the fourth quarter, non-GAAP operating income remained relatively unchanged at $4.0 billion, and non-GAAP operating margin decreased 3.5 percentage points to 42.8%. For the full year, non-GAAP operating income increased from $15.0 billion to $16.2 billion, and non-GAAP operating margin decreased 0.8 percentage points to 46.1%.
The Company generated $8.1 billion of free cash flow for the full year of 2025 versus $10.4 billion for the full year of 2024, driven by timing of working capital, primarily collections and higher capital expenditures, partially offset by business performance and lower interest payments.
References in this release to "non-GAAP" measures, measures presented "on a non-GAAP basis," "free cash flow" (computed by subtracting capital expenditures from operating cash flow), "EBITDA, or earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization" (computed by adding interest expense, provision for income taxes, and depreciation and amortization expense to GAAP net income) and "debt leverage ratio" (calculated as the ratio of GAAP total debt to EBITDA) refer to non-GAAP financial measures. Adjustments to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures and other items are presented on the attached reconciliations. Refer to Non-GAAP Financial Measures below for further discussion.

Product Sales Performance

General Medicine

Repatha (evolocumab) sales increased 44% year-over-year to $870 million in the fourth quarter, driven by 31% volume growth, 8% higher net selling price, and higher inventory levels. Sales increased 36% for the full year, driven by volume growth. For 2026, we expect net selling price to decline by roughly mid-single-digits.
EVENITY (romosozumab-aqqg) sales increased 39% year-over-year to $599 million in the fourth quarter and 34% for the full year, primarily driven by volume growth.
Prolia (denosumab) sales decreased 10% year-over-year to $1.1 billion in the fourth quarter, driven by 8% lower net selling price and decreased volume. Sales increased 1% for the full year, primarily driven by 2% volume growth and 2% favorable changes to estimated sales deductions, partially offset by lower net selling price. For 2026, we expect accelerated sales erosion driven by increased competition, as multiple biosimilars have launched globally.
Rare Disease

TEPEZZA (teprotumumab-trbw) sales decreased 1% year-over-year to $457 million in the fourth quarter, primarily driven by 13% lower inventory levels and unfavorable changes to estimated sales deductions, partially offset by 11% volume growth and higher net selling price. Sales increased 3% for the full year, primarily driven by higher net selling price.
KRYSTEXXA (pegloticase) sales increased 26% year-over-year to $435 million in the fourth quarter, driven by higher inventory levels, higher net selling price, and volume growth. Sales increased 13% for the full year, driven by volume growth and higher net selling price.
UPLIZNA (inebilizumab-cdon) sales increased 131% year-over-year to $233 million in the fourth quarter and 73% for the full year, primarily driven by volume growth.
TAVNEOS (avacopan) sales increased 88% year-over-year to $152 million in the fourth quarter, primarily driven by 69% volume growth and 18% higher inventory levels. Sales increased 62% for the full year, driven by volume growth, partially offset by lower net selling price.
Ultra-Rare products generated $157 million of sales in the fourth quarter. Sales decreased 27% year-over-year for the fourth quarter and 5% for the full year, primarily driven by generic competition for RAVICTI. For 2026, we expect continued RAVICTI sales erosion driven by generic competition.
Inflammation

TEZSPIRE (tezepelumab-ekko) sales increased 60% year-over-year to $474 million in the fourth quarter, primarily driven by 51% volume growth, and to a lesser degree, higher inventory levels and favorable changes to estimated sales deductions. Sales increased 52% for the full year, driven by volume growth.
Otezla (apremilast) sales were flat year-over-year at $625 million in the fourth quarter. Sales increased 7% for the full year, primarily driven by 3% volume growth and 2% favorable changes to estimated sales deductions.
Enbrel (etanercept) sales decreased 48% year-over-year to $532 million in the fourth quarter, primarily driven by 35% lower net selling price resulting from the impact of the U.S. Medicare Part D redesign and increased 340B Program mix, and 17% unfavorable changes to estimated sales deductions. Sales decreased 33% for the full year, primarily driven by 36% lower net selling price resulting from increased 340B Program mix, the impact of the U.S. Medicare Part D redesign and higher commercial discounts, partially offset by 4% higher volume.

We expect Enbrel and Otezla, and to a lesser extent KRYSTEXXA, TEZSPIRE and Repatha, to follow the historical pattern of lower sales in the first quarter relative to subsequent quarters, in part due to the impact of benefit plan changes, insurance reverification and increased co-pay expenses as U.S. patients work through deductibles.
AMJEVITA (adalimumab-atto)/AMGEVITA (adalimumab) sales decreased 41% year-over-year to $174 million in the fourth quarter, primarily driven by lower volume. Sales decreased 22% for the full year, driven by lower volume and lower net selling price.

Operating Expense, Operating Margin and Tax Rate Analysis

On a GAAP basis:

Total Operating Expenses increased 5% year-over-year for the fourth quarter and increased 6% for the full year. Cost of Sales as a percentage of product sales decreased 3.9 percentage points for the fourth quarter and decreased 5.9 percentage points for the full year, driven by lower amortization expense from acquisition-related assets, including Horizon-acquired inventory, and lower manufacturing costs, partially offset by higher profit share expense and changes in our sales mix. Research & Development (R&D) expenses increased 24% for the fourth quarter primarily driven by higher spend in the later-stage clinical programs, including MariTide, and in the research and early pipeline, including business development activities in the fourth quarter of 2025. R&D expenses increased 22% for the full year driven by higher spend in the later-stage clinical programs, including MariTide, and in the research and early pipeline, partially offset by lower spend in marketed product support. This increase includes the impact of business development activities in 2025. Selling, General & Administrative (SG&A) expenses increased 4% for the fourth quarter driven by higher commercial product-related expenses, partially offset by lower Horizon acquisition-related expenses and lower general and administrative expenses. SG&A expenses decreased 1% for the full year driven by lower Horizon acquisition-related expenses and lower amortization expense from acquisition-related assets, partially offset by higher general and administrative expenses, including technology-related spend. Other operating expenses for the full year included Otezla intangible asset impairment charges of $1.2 billion, following the selection of Otezla for Medicare price setting, as part of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).
Operating Margin as a percentage of product sales increased 2.5 percentage points to 29.0% for the fourth quarter and increased 3.1 percentage points to 25.8% for the full year.
Tax Rate decreased 7.8 percentage points for the fourth quarter and increased 2.8 percentage points for the full year. The fourth quarter tax rate decrease was due to the prior-year deferred tax adjustments associated with the U.S. tax on the earnings of our foreign subsidiaries, partially offset by the change in earnings mix, including lower amortization expense from the fair value step-up of inventory acquired from Horizon as compared to the prior year. The full year tax rate increase was due to the change in earnings mix, including the net unrealized gains on our equity investments compared to net unrealized losses on equity investments in the prior year, partially offset by the prior-year deferred tax adjustments associated with U.S. tax on the earnings of our foreign subsidiaries and the current year Otezla intangible asset impairment charges and related tax impacts.
On a non-GAAP basis:

Total Operating Expenses increased 16% year-over-year for the fourth quarter and increased 12% for the full year. Cost of Sales as a percentage of product sales increased 1.5 percentage points for the fourth quarter and increased 0.4 percentage points for the full year, driven by higher profit share expense and changes in our sales mix, partially offset by lower manufacturing costs. R&D expenses increased 26% for the fourth quarter driven by higher spend in the later-stage clinical programs, including MariTide, and in the research and early pipeline, including business development activities in the fourth quarter of 2025. R&D expenses increased 22% for the full year driven by higher spend in the later-stage clinical programs, including MariTide, and in the research and early pipeline, partially offset by lower spend in marketed product support. This increase includes the impact of business development activities in 2025. SG&A expenses increased 6% for the fourth quarter driven by higher commercial product-related expenses, partially offset by lower general and administrative expenses. SG&A expenses increased 2% for the full year driven by higher general and administrative expenses, including technology-related spend.
Operating Margin as a percentage of product sales decreased 3.5 percentage points for the fourth quarter to 42.8% and decreased 0.8 percentage points to 46.1% for the full year.
Tax Rate increased 1.6 percentage points for the fourth quarter and increased 1.4 percentage points for the full year. The fourth quarter tax rate increase was primarily due to prior year net favorable items as compared to the current year. The full year tax rate increase was due to the change in earnings mix and prior year net favorable items as compared to the current year.

TAVNEOS (avacopan) was approved by the FDA in October 2021 for the adjunctive treatment of adult patients with severe active anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) in combination with standard therapy including glucocorticoids. TAVNEOS was developed by ChemoCentryx, Inc. Amgen acquired ChemoCentryx in October 2022, after TAVNEOS had been on the market for a year. On January 16, 2026, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requested that ChemoCentryx voluntarily withdraw TAVNEOS from the U.S. market. The FDA raised concerns about the process followed by ChemoCentryx to re-adjudicate primary endpoint results for 9 of the 331 patients in its pivotal clinical trial. Hepatotoxicity, which is a known infrequent risk of TAVNEOS treatment for AAV, was also raised in the context of the benefit-risk profile of the medicine. Amgen is not aware of any issue with the underlying patient data from the ChemoCentryx clinical trial. And after review of the relevant clinical data and years of real-world evidence, Amgen is confident that TAVNEOS demonstrates effectiveness and a favorable benefit–risk profile. On January 28, 2026, following FDA regulatory process, Amgen informed the Agency that it did not intend to withdraw TAVNEOS from the market. Amgen is evaluating next steps with the FDA to determine a path forward, while keeping patient safety, needs and support at the forefront.

Nucleai Enables Spatial Biology Research in Nature Communications Study on Lung Cancer Treatment Response

On February 3, 2026 Nucleai, a leader in AI-powered multimodal spatial biology, reported its contribution to a collaborative international study published in Nature Communications that explores how spatial organization and metabolic characteristics of tumor cells are associated with response and resistance to immunotherapy in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

The study, led by academic researchers at The University of Queensland and Yale School of Medicine, applied multiplex immunofluorescence (mIF) and computational approaches to analyze tumor tissue at single-cell resolution. By examining how different cell populations are organized within the tumor microenvironment and how they metabolize glucose, the researchers identified distinct spatial and metabolic patterns associated with immunotherapy outcomes.

As part of the collaboration, Nucleai’s AI-powered multiplex immunofluorescence (mIF) analysis pipeline enabled accurate identification and classification of tumor and immune cell populations at scale, providing a consistent and reproducible foundation for downstream spatial and metabolic analyses conducted by the academic research teams.

"Understanding response to lung cancer treatment requires insight into the different cell states and cell-cell interactions within the tumor, not just which cells and markers are present," said Ettai Markovits, Director of Biomedical Research at Nucleai. "This study highlights the importance of spatial context in cancer biology, and we are pleased to have supported this work by enabling robust, AI-based spatial analysis applied to multiplex imaging data."

Immunotherapy has transformed the treatment landscape for lung cancer, yet only a subset of patients experience durable benefit. Findings from this study suggest that spatially defined metabolic features within tumors may help explain variability in treatment response, reinforcing the need for more nuanced approaches to characterizing tumor biology beyond traditional single-marker assessments.

This work builds on Nucleai’s broader multimodal spatial AI platform, which is designed to support scalable and rapid spatial profiling across large research cohorts. By transforming complex multiplex imaging data into structured, quantitative spatial insights, the platform supports collaborative efforts to advance precision oncology research.

"This study demonstrates the power of multiplex imaging data to shed light on nuanced spatial interactions linked to treatment response to immunotherapy," said Associate Professor Arutha Kulasinghe from UQ’s Frazer Institute. "However, translating this spatial complexity into clinical insights requires sophisticated computational analysis. Nucleai’s contributions helped connect high-dimensional spatial imaging with clinical outcomes more efficiently."

The research was conducted in collaboration with The University of Queensland’s Frazer Institute, Yale School of Medicine, Wesley Research Institute, Quanterix, and Nucleai, and is published in Nature Communications.
