"Patients with BCG-unresponsive NMIBC often face the difficult decision between pursuing additional bladder-sparing therapies or undergoing a severe, life-altering cystectomy," said Mark D. Tyson II, M.D., M.P.H., Mayo Clinic, and lead author of the publication. "The results from BOND-003 represent a potential shift in this treatment paradigm, underpinned by encouraging durability of response and bladder preservation outcomes. With a clinically meaningful median duration of response of 27.9 months, possibly among the longer duration of responses seen in this setting, paired with approximately 89% of patients maintaining their bladders at 12 months and 81% at 24 months, we are seeing evidence of sustained bladder preservation without compromising the window for further therapeutic options, if needed."

Dr. Tyson continued, "These results are particularly encouraging given BOND-003 enrolled a heavily pretreated population representative of the patients that clinicians often encounter in real-world practice. Specifically, we observed meaningful responses in patients who had already received other therapies, including intravesical gemcitabine–docetaxel or systemic pembrolizumab, underscoring cretostimogene’s activity across a clinically diverse and difficult-to-treat patient population. If approved by the FDA, cretostimogene may represent an important, bladder-sparing, advancement in the bladder cancer treatment paradigm, and meaningfully improve patient outcomes."

BOND-003 Cohort C met its primary endpoint with statistical significance, exceeding historic and contemporary clinical benchmarks. Key findings and observations reported in the publication include:

Robust complete response (CR) rates and durable responses in patients with high-risk BCG-unresponsive NMIBC:
75.5% (95% CI 66.3–83.2) achieved a CR at any time, after receiving treatment with cretostimogene as monotherapy.
12- and 24-month duration of response (DOR) was 64.2% (95% CI 52.2–73.8) and 60.1% (95% CI 48.2–70.0), respectively.
Median DOR is at least 27.9 months and is ongoing, with approximately 90% of patients in response at 12 months maintaining durable responses at 24 months, and one patient disease-free beyond 51 months.
Favorable safety and tolerability profile: No Grade 3 or greater treatment-related adverse events or treatment-related discontinuations or deaths reported. The median time to resolution of related adverse events was 1 day (IQR 0–7). The most common TRAEs (≥10%) were bladder spasm, pollakiuria, micturition urgency, dysuria, and hematuria.
Clinically meaningful progression-free survival: 96.6% of patients were free from progression to muscle invasive bladder cancer at 48 weeks and 96 weeks.
Practical, office-based administration: Cretostimogene does not require prophylactic medication (e.g., anticholinergics), operating room time, additional cystoscopy, or anesthesia-dosing and aligns with existing AUA/SUNA intravesical administration policy, supporting ease of integration into both academic and community urology practice settings.

"The publication of the BOND-003 Cohort C results in The Lancet Oncology represents an important milestone for CG Oncology and validates the strength of the clinical evidence supporting cretostimogene," said Vijay Kasturi, M.D., Chief Medical Officer of CG Oncology. "The BOND-003 Cohort C data demonstrate cretostimogene’s favorable efficacy and best-in-disease durability. Importantly, we also observed a very low rate of progression to muscle-invasive bladder cancer, with only 3.4% of patients progressing during the study. These data underscore cretostimogene’s potential to become a foundational monotherapy for NMIBC and support our ongoing effort to explore its role across multiple disease settings, including adjuvant and combination approaches, aimed at addressing the needs of broader bladder cancer patient populations."

About the BOND-003 Phase 3 Trial
BOND-003 (NCT04452591) is a single-arm, Phase 3, monotherapy clinical trial for the treatment of patients with high-risk BCG-unresponsive NMIBC with carcinoma in-situ (CIS) with or without Ta or T1 papillary tumors. The fully enrolled global trial with a total of 112 in North America, Australia, and the Asia-Pacific region. The primary endpoint of the trial is CR at any time, with DOR measured as a secondary endpoint. The highly pre-treated trial population includes patients with prior intravesical chemotherapy and systemic immunotherapy.

About Cretostimogene Grenadenorepvec
Cretostimogene is an investigational, intravesically delivered oncolytic immunotherapy that has been studied in a clinical development program, which includes more than 400 patients with Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer (NMIBC). This program includes two Phase 3 clinical trials: BOND-003 for high-risk BCG-unresponsive NMIBC and PIVOT-006 for intermediate-risk NMIBC. Cretostimogene has received FDA Fast Track and Breakthrough Therapy designations. CG Oncology also has a Phase 2 trial, CORE-008, evaluating the safety and efficacy of cretostimogene in high-risk NMIBC. Additionally, we have initiated an Expanded Access Program for cretostimogene in North America for patients who are unresponsive to BCG and meet certain program eligibility requirements. Cretostimogene is an investigational candidate, and its safety and efficacy have not been established by the FDA or any other health authority.

Highlights from the second quarter of 2026 and recent weeks included the following:


ModeX presented data on multispecific antibody targeted in vivo CAR T cell programs at the American Society of Gene + Cell Therapy (ASGCT) (Free ASGCT Whitepaper) Annual Meeting, with plans to enter Phase 1 studies later this year or in early 2027. Leveraging its multispecific technology, ModeX’s in vivo CAR T platform uses antibody-targeted lipid nanoparticles to deliver CAR-encoding genes directly to selected immune cell subsets, generating functional CAR T cells in vivo and potentially overcoming limitations of ex vivo and other in vivo CAR T approaches. Efforts are currently underway to begin a company-sponsored phase 1 study in autoimmune disease in late 2026 or early 2027 at the same time that opportunities for collaboration with large pharma partners are being explored.

Initiated and enrolling patients in MDX2003 Phase 1 clinical trial in relapsed or refractory B-cell lymphoma. MDX2003 (CD19 x CD20 x CD3 x CD28) is a novel tetraspecific T-cell engager-expander designed to optimize sustained T-cell function and address the two most common and validated targets in lymphomas and leukemias. The MDX2003 Phase 1 study is evaluating safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary anti-tumor activity in adults with B-cell lymphomas through dose-escalation and dose-expansion cohorts. B-cell lymphoma, a form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma represents the most common lymphoma subtype, accounting for approximately 85% of cases.

Initiated MDX2301 Phase 1 clinical trial for the prevention of COVID-19, with plans to complete enrollment in the third quarter 2026 and early data to be presented in late 2026 or early 2027. MDX2301 is a tetravalent bispecific antibody designed to neutralize known SARS-CoV-2 variants while maintaining breadth and reducing the potential for resistance. The Phase 1 trial is evaluating safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics across multiple routes of administration in healthy volunteers and immunocompromised adults at high risk for severe COVID-19. This trial is being funded by the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA).

Continued progress across additional ModeX clinical trials. MDX2001, a tetraspecific T cell engager directed to solid tumors that express Trop2 and c-Met, is proceeding with Phase 1 enrollment as planned. MDX2004 a trispecific immune rejuvenator that stimulates through CD3, CD28 and 4-1BBL, also continues Phase 1 enrollment as planned at sites in Australia and Israel.

We expect to report initial safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic and immune data in the first half of 2027.

Initiated the Phase 1/2a clinical study of OPK-88006 in healthy and presumed MASH participants. OPK-88006, a dual GLP-1/Glucagon agonist administered subcutaneously, has begun enrolling participants in the US. The objectives of this study are to assess the safety and pharmacokinetic of single ascending doses in healthy volunteers. Second part of the trial is to evaluate the clinical effects of OPK-88006 administered weekly for 16 weeks in presumed Metabolic Dysfunction Associated Steatohepatitis (MASH) subjects.

OPKO Biologics presented preclinical data on long acting Growth Hormone Receptor Antagonist OPK8801001 at the Endocrine Society (ENDO) 2026 annual meeting, with plans to advance the program to clinical trials at the end of 2026. In animals, including non-human primates data showed that OPK8801001 achieved robust, dose-dependent, and sustained suppression of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), a marker of disease activity in acromegaly, a rare endocrine disorder caused by excess growth hormone. The findings support its potential as a weekly alternative to current daily acromegaly treatments. In vitro, OPK8801001 showed ~20-fold greater growth hormone receptor antagonism than established Pegvisomant therapy.

OPKO’s strategic partner, Entera Bio, presented preclinical data on the EB612 and EB618 pipeline programs at the Endocrine Society (ENDO) 2026 annual meeting, with ongoing studies advancing both programs toward first-in-human clinical evaluation. Both programs are being co-developed by OPKO and Entera. EB612 is a proprietary first-in-class long-acting PTH(1-34) analog formulated with Entera’s N-Tab oral peptide platform. In preclinical models, EB612 achieved robust bioavailability and sustained increases in calcium, supporting its potential as an oral hormone replacement therapy for patients with hypoparathyroidism. EB618 is a first-in-class oral dual GLP-1/glucagon receptor agonist for obesity and metabolic disorders. In non-human primates, EB618 showed dose-proportional pharmacokinetics and a robust effect on blood glucose.
We are pleased to congratulate our partner, Entera Bio, on its announcement today of its oversubscribed $275 million private placement, which underscores the strength of its scientific platform and provides substantial support for the continued advancement of its development programs.


Expanded Nicoya Agreement to Support RAYALDEE Commercialization in Greater China. Under the amended agreement, OPKO received a 15% equity stake in Nicoya in exchange for a revised tiered royalty and transfer price schedule. In connection with the amendment, OPKO received an initial tranche of Series A-2 Preferred Shares and expects to close on the second equity issuance of Series A-2 Preferred Shares in the third quarter of 2026. The amended arrangement also expands the field of use while reinforcing Nicoya’s commitment to commercialize RAYALDEE in Greater China. The milestone structure under the original agreement remains unchanged with OPKO eligible to receive up to $115 million upon the achievement of development, regulatory and sales-based milestones.
Second Quarter Financial Results


Consolidated: Consolidated total revenues for the second quarter of 2026 were $163.5 million compared with $156.8 million for the 2025 period, with the increase principally resulting from higher revenue from the transfer of intellectual property and other, partially offset by lower revenue from services following the September 2025 sale of our oncology assets to Labcorp. Operating loss for the second quarter of 2026 improved to $7.0 million compared with operating loss of $60.0 million for the corresponding 2025 quarter. Net loss for the second quarter of 2026 was $8.4 million, or $0.01 per share, compared with net loss of $148.4 million, or $0.19 per share, for the corresponding 2025 quarter.

Pharmaceuticals: Revenue from products in the second quarter of 2026 was $42.9 million compared with $40.7 million in the second quarter of 2025, driven by higher sales volumes from OPKO’s Spanish and Mexican operations and by a positive net foreign exchange impact of $1.8 million. Revenue from Rayaldee increased to $8.1 million in the second quarter of 2026, compared to $7.2 million for the same period in 2025, primarily due to favorable gross-to-net adjustments. These positive drivers were partially offset by a decrease of approximately $1.7 million in product revenue from other international operations. Revenue from the transfer of intellectual property and other rose to $46.1 million, up from $15 million in 2025, primarily driven by $29.4 million in revenue recognized from shares received in connection with an amendment to our license agreement with Nicoya who is beginning to commercialize Rayaldee in China. Also contributing to the increases was higher partnership revenue, including NGENLA profit share of $6.4 million compared with $6.1 million in the corresponding 2025 quarter, as well as combined revenue from Eli Lilly and Regeneron of $4.3 million in the second quarter of 2026. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in revenue recognized under the BARDA contract, which totaled $5.0 million in the second quarter of 2026 compared with $6.5 million for the same period in 2025. Total costs and expenses were $88.2 million in the second quarter of 2026 compared with $84.4 million in the prior-year period. Operating income was $0.8 million in the second quarter of 2026, which included $18.5 million in depreciation and amortization expense, compared with operating loss of $28.7 million in the second quarter of 2025, which included $18.1 million of depreciation and amortization expense.

Diagnostics: Revenue from services in the second quarter of 2026 was $74.5 million compared with $101.1 million in the prior-year period, which included $24.9 million of revenue related to the oncology assets sold to Labcorp in September 2025. Total costs and expenses were $69.8 million in the second quarter of 2026 compared with $119.3 million in the second quarter of 2025, which included $29.4 million of costs and expenses related to oncology assets that were sold to Labcorp. Operating expenses were offset by an earnout received of $18.1 million related to the assets sold to Labcorp in September 2025. Income from operations was $4.8 million in the second quarter of 2026, which included $3.9 million of depreciation and amortization expense, compared with operating loss of $18.2 million in the same 2025 period, which included $4.9 million of depreciation and amortization expense.

Cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities and restricted cash: Cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities and restricted cash were $314.4 million as of June 30, 2026. As of June 30, 2026, approximately $105.3 million of OPKO’s common stock had been repurchased under the program authorized in July 2025, including $13.2 million in the second quarter of 2026. Approximately $94.7 million remained authorized and available for future repurchases.

The updated submission is based on clinical data from the randomized Phase III PIVOTAL study (PHL19IL2TNF-02/15; NCT02938299). Compared with the MAA submitted in June 2024, the updated dossier is based on a longer median patient follow-up (33 months as opposed to 21 months) and includes additional posthoc analyses focused on event-free survival. Clinical data supporting the 2024 submission were published in Annals of Oncology (Kähler et al., Annals of Oncology, 2025, 36, 1166). The updated data forming the basis of this resubmission have been accepted for publication in the Journal of Clinical Oncology (doi 10.1200/JCO26-00852) and are expected to be published online in the coming weeks.

In the PIVOTAL study, Nidlegy reduced the risk of relapse or death compared with the control arm, and its safety profile was characterized mostly by low-grade, local adverse events. The updated application also includes additional Chemistry, Manufacturing and Controls (CMC) information intended to address the outstanding questions raised during the previous procedure.

Additional supporting data included in the dossier comprise efficacy and safety data from the Phase II study PH-L19IL2TNF-02/12 (NCT02076633), safety data from the ongoing Phase III NeoDREAM study PHL19IL2TNF-01/18 (NCT03567889), and safety data from the Phase II study PH-L19IL2TNFNMSC-04/19 (NCT04362722) in non-melanoma skin cancer.

Prof. Dr. Dario Neri, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Scientific Officer of Philogen, commented: "Philogen remains fully committed to advancing Nidlegy in melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancers. Since the previous MAA procedure, our team has worked intensively to address the clinical and CMC questions raised during the review. In parallel, we have continued to expand the global Phase III NeoDREAM melanoma study and have launched additional registrational studies in non-melanoma skin cancers. We are encouraged by the data generated to date and will continue working with our partners and regulators with the aim of bringing this innovative treatment to patients in need."

Nidlegy is partnered with Sun Pharma for the treatment of Skin Cancers in Europe, New Zealand and Australia.

About Nidlegy (Daromun)

Nidlegy is a biopharmaceutical product, proprietary to Philogen, designed for the treatment of skin cancer. It consists of two active ingredients, L19IL2 and L19TNF. The two ingredients are manufactured independently and mixed prior to intralesional administration. The L19 antibody is specific to the Extra Domain B of Fibronectin, a protein expressed in tumors (and other diseases) but absent in most healthy tissues. Interleukin 2 (IL2) and Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF) are pro-inflammatory cytokines with a potent anti-tumor activity. Nidlegy is currently being investigated in two Phase III clinical trials for the treatment of locally advanced melanoma, and in Phase II clinical trials for the treatment of High-Risk Basal Cell Carcinoma and other non-melanoma skin cancers.

About the PIVOTAL Phase III study

PIVOTAL is a phase III, international, multi-center, randomized, comparator-controlled, parallel-group study evaluating the efficacy and safety of intratumoral injections of Nidlegy as a neoadjuvant treatment, followed by standard-of-care treatment (surgery), as opposed to standard-of-care treatment (i.e., surgery alone), in melanoma patients with locally advanced, fully resectable cutaneous, sub-cutaneous (including satellite/in transit metastases), or nodal metastases accessible to intratumoral injection. For both arms, adjuvant treatment with approved drugs was allowed. Nidlegy was injected intralesionally up to four times, once a week, before surgery. The trial enrolled 256 patients in Europe across 22 clinical centers in Germany, Italy, France and Poland.

About locally advanced fully resectable melanoma

Melanoma is a skin tumor which begins when melanocytes start growing without control. Melanocytes are found in the basal layer of the epidermis at the boundary with the next layer (the dermis). Locally advanced melanoma is a metastatic cancer in which neoplastic lesions have spread to drainage areas of regional lymph nodes and can appear as micrometastases, satellite/in transit metastases, and/or lymph node metastases. To date, patients with resectable disease receive surgery, possibly followed by approved adjuvant systemic therapies. There is no approved drug for the treatment of locally advanced fully resectable melanoma in the neoadjuvant setting.
