On March 9, 2026 Genentech, a member of the Roche Group (SIX: RO, ROG; OTCQX: RHHBY), reported results from the Phase III persevERA Breast Cancer study evaluating investigational giredestrant in combination with palbociclib for people with estrogen receptor (ER)-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative, locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer. The study did not meet its primary objective of a statistically significant improvement in progression-free survival in the intent-to-treat population versus letrozole plus palbociclib, but a numerical improvement was observed. The adverse events for the giredestrant combination were manageable and consistent with the known safety profiles of each individual treatment.

"While persevERA didn’t meet its primary objective, we are confident in the potential of giredestrant to become a new standard-of-care endocrine therapy in early and advanced ER-positive breast cancer," said Levi Garraway, M.D., Ph.D., chief medical officer and head of Global Product Development. "We believe there is a path forward for combining giredestrant with a CDK4/6 inhibitor in the adjuvant setting and we are conducting further studies. The efficacy demonstrated in evERA and lidERA provides clear validation of the clinical activity of giredestrant and reinforces the strength of our expanding clinical development program."

The giredestrant clinical development program is made up of distinct studies designed to reflect the specific disease biology of each stage of breast cancer. Genentech will continue to advance the clinical development program to identify the people with ER-positive breast cancer who can derive the greatest benefit from giredestrant.

evERA was the first positive Phase III readout for giredestrant, followed by lidERA in the early-stage setting. The scientific rationale for lidERA was supported by prior results in the neoadjuvant setting, including the Phase II coopERA trial showing that giredestrant was superior to an aromatase inhibitor in reducing malignant cell division (Ki67 levels). This growing body of evidence underscores the potential of giredestrant to become a new standard-of-care endocrine therapy across ER-positive early-stage and advanced breast cancer.

persevERA is the first of two distinct Phase III studies in the first-line setting; the pionERA study of giredestrant in combination with physician’s choice of cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK)4/6 inhibitor in endocrine-resistant ER-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer is expected to readout in 2027.

The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently accepted the New Drug Application based on the evERA data. In the coming weeks, Genentech will submit the giredestrant Phase III lidERA data in early-stage breast cancer to the FDA.

The full results from persevERA will be presented at an upcoming medical meeting.

About the persevERA Breast Cancer study

persevERA Breast Cancer [NCT04546009] is a Phase III, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study evaluating the efficacy and safety of giredestrant plus palbociclib versus letrozole plus palbociclib as first-line treatment for people with estrogen receptor-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative, locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer. The study enrolled 992 patients globally.

The primary endpoint is investigator-assessed progression-free survival. Key secondary endpoints include overall survival, objective response rate, duration of response and safety.

About giredestrant

Giredestrant is an investigational, oral, potent next-generation selective estrogen receptor degrader and full antagonist.

Giredestrant is designed to block estrogen from binding to the estrogen receptor (ER), triggering its breakdown (known as degradation) and stopping or slowing down the growth of cancer cells.

Giredestrant has an extensive clinical development program and is being investigated in five company-sponsored Phase III clinical trials that span multiple treatment settings and lines of therapy to benefit as many people as possible:

Giredestrant versus standard-of-care endocrine therapy (SoC ET) as adjuvant treatment in ER-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative early-stage breast cancer (lidERA Breast Cancer; NCT04961996)
Giredestrant plus everolimus versus SoC ET plus everolimus in ER-positive, HER2-negative, locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer (evERA Breast Cancer; NCT05306340)
Giredestrant plus palbociclib versus letrozole plus palbociclib in ER-positive, HER2-negative, endocrine-sensitive, recurrent locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer (persevERA Breast Cancer; NCT04546009)
Giredestrant plus investigator’s choice of a cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK)4/6 inhibitor versus fulvestrant plus a CDK4/6 inhibitor in ER-positive, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer resistant to adjuvant endocrine therapy (pionERA Breast Cancer; NCT06065748)
Giredestrant plus dual HER2 blockade versus dual HER2 blockade in ER-positive, HER2-positive locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer (heredERA Breast Cancer; NCT05296798)
About estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer

Globally, the burden of breast cancer continues to grow, with 2.3 million women diagnosed and 670,000 dying from the disease every year. Breast cancer remains the number one cause of cancer-related deaths amongst women, and the second most common cancer type.

ER-positive breast cancer accounts for approximately 70% of breast cancer cases. In the U.S. and EU5, an estimated 273,000 people are diagnosed in the early-stage setting, 88,000 people are diagnosed in first-line and 106,000 in the second and third-line setting combined.

A defining feature of ER-positive breast cancer is that its tumor cells have receptors that attach to estrogen, which can contribute to tumor growth.

Despite treatment advances, ER-positive breast cancer remains particularly challenging to treat due to its biological complexity. In the early-stage setting, up to a third of people eventually experience disease recurrence on or after adjuvant endocrine therapy treatment. Additionally, many have to interrupt or stop treatment early due to safety or tolerability issues, thereby increasing the risk of death. In advanced settings, resistance to endocrine therapy – particularly following treatment with cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors – increases the risk of disease progression and is associated with poor outcomes.

There is an urgent need for more effective treatments that can delay clinical progression and reduce the burden of treatment on people’s lives.

"2025 was a transformative year for Immuneering. We reported 64% overall survival at 12 months in first-line pancreatic cancer patients treated with atebimetinib + mGnP, well above the benchmark for GnP standard of care. We designed atebimetinib with three mechanisms well-established to improve survival, and we believe these survival gains are driven by atebimetinib shrinking tumors durably with less resistance, preserving body mass by countering cachexia, and minimizing side effects to maximize combinability and performance status," said Ben Zeskind, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of Immuneering. "We also made rapid progress in preparation for our pivotal Phase 3 trial in first-line pancreatic cancer patients, MAPKeeper 301, having secured alignment with both the FDA and EMA on our trial design, and we are on track to dose the first patient mid-year. With cash runway expected into 2029, uniquely encouraging clinical data, and a solid pipeline, we are strongly positioned to deliver on our mission to help patients live longer and feel better."

Recent Corporate Highlights

Reported 64% Overall Survival at 12 Months in First-Line Pancreatic Cancer Patients Treated with Atebimetinib + mGnP: In January, the Company announced positive updated survival and safety data from its ongoing Phase 2a trial of atebimetinib in combination with mGnP in first-line pancreatic cancer patients (N=34), with 13.4 months median follow up. Immuneering reported 64% overall survival (OS) observed at 12 months as of the December 15, 2025 data cutoff date. Atebimetinib (320mg dosed once daily) + mGnP was observed to demonstrate a favorable tolerability profile, with only two categories of adverse events observed at or above the grade 3 level in more than 10% of patients (neutropenia and anemia, both of which are categories commonly observed with standard of care chemotherapy), in comparison to toxicity profiles for other combinations in the front line pancreatic cancer setting, which demonstrate significantly more grade 3 and higher adverse events. No head-to-head clinical trial has been conducted evaluating atebimetinib and other candidates or products. Differences exist between trial designs, subject characteristics and other factors, and caution should be exercised when comparing data across studies.
Secured Alignment with FDA and EMA on pivotal Phase 3 Atebimetinib Trial for First-Line Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer Patients: In December, Immuneering announced that it expected to dose the first patient in its planned global pivotal Phase 3 registrational trial, MAPKeeper 301, in first-line pancreatic cancer patients in mid-2026, evaluating atebimetinib (320 mg QD) in combination with modified gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel (mGnP), compared with gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel (GnP) alone. The Company remains on track with this guidance. Notably, the Company completed its End-of-Phase 2 (EOP2) interactions with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and received scientific advice from the European Medicines Agency (EMA). Immuneering achieved alignment with both agencies on the key elements of the proposed Phase 3 trial.
Added to the Nasdaq Biotechnology Index (NBI): On December 22, 2025, Immuneering was added to the Nasdaq Biotechnology Index.

Anticipated Near-Term Milestones

Immuneering is planning for several near-term anticipated milestones related to atebimetinib, including:

Q2 2026: Report updated circulating tumor DNA data on acquired alterations at a major scientific meeting.
1H 2026: Report updated survival data from over 50 first-line pancreatic cancer patients treated with atebimetinib + mGnP.
Mid-2026: Dose first patient in pivotal Phase 3 MAPKeeper clinical trial of atebimetinib + mGnP in first-line pancreatic cancer.
2H 2026: Dose first patient in trial of atebimetinib + Libtayo in RAS-mutant first-line non-small cell lung cancer.

Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2025 Financial Highlights

Cash Position: Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of December 31, 2025 were $217.0 million, compared with $36.1 million as of December 31, 2024.
Research and Development (R&D) Expenses: R&D expenses for the fourth quarter of 2025 were $9.3 million compared to $14.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2024. Full year 2025 R&D expenses were $42.0 million compared to $48.0 million for full year 2024. R&D expenses for the fourth quarter and full year 2025 decreased compared to the same respective periods in 2024, primarily driven by reduced spend related to the Company’s product candidate envometinib (IMM-6-415) and certain pre-clinical activities, in addition to decreased personnel related costs. This was partially offset by increased clinical and regulatory consulting resources utilized during the period to support atebimetinib’s ongoing development and regulatory readiness activities.
General and Administrative (G&A) Expenses: G&A expenses for the fourth quarter of 2025 were $4.5 million compared to $3.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2024. Full year 2025 G&A expenses were $17.3 million compared to $16.1 million for full year 2024. G&A expenses for the fourth quarter and full year 2025 increased compared to the same respective periods in 2024, primarily driven by increased employee-related costs and external professional fees, in addition to increased public filing costs associated with the Company’s various financing efforts.
Net Loss: Net loss attributable to common stockholders was $11.6 million, or $0.18 per share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, compared to $18.1 million, or $0.58 per share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2024. Net loss attributable to common stockholders for full year 2025 was $56.0 million, or $1.27 per share, compared to $61.0 million, or $2.04 per share, for full year 2024.

2026 Financial Guidance

Based on cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of December 31, 2025, and current operating plans, the Company expects its cash runway to be sufficient to fund operations into 2029.

About Atebimetinib

Atebimetinib is the first in a new category of oral drug candidates, Deep Cyclic Inhibitors (DCIs), designed to improve overall survival by three mechanisms: shrinking tumors durably with less resistance, preserving body mass by countering cachexia, and minimizing side effects to maximize performance status and combinability. Each of these mechanisms has been well established to improve survival in published studies. DCIs challenge the conventional model of sustained or continuous inhibition in oncology. Whereas most therapies are designed for sustained inhibition, driving cancer to adapt and develop resistance so tumors shrink quickly but temporarily, DCIs are designed to pulse faster than tumors can adapt, so tumors shrink slowly but durably. Moreover, DCIs aim to restore full transient signaling to healthy cells, with the goal of leading to fewer adverse events. Atebimetinib targets MEK, a key control point in the MAPK pathway (RAS-RAF-MEK-ERK), which is pathologically activated in a majority of cancers, including approximately 97% of pancreatic cancers. Targeting MEK blocks a broader range of MAPK pathway alterations because it is further downstream, creating the potential for more durable benefit.

"The FDA approval of PYLARIFY TruVu demonstrates Lantheus’ continued commitment to advancing innovation that directly expands patient access to high-quality diagnostic tools," said Mary Anne Heino, Executive Chairperson and CEO, Lantheus. "The availability of PYLARIFY TruVu addresses a key need identified by clinicians – greater access to our market-leading formulation."

PYLARIFY TruVu was submitted for FDA approval via the 505(b)(2) regulatory pathway, allowing for review based upon previously submitted data from two PYLARIFY pivotal studies: OSPREY and CONDOR. The new formulation has the same diagnostic properties and is expected to offer similar safety and effectiveness as PYLARIFY.

Additionally, PYLARIFY TruVu is designed to enhance product stability at higher radioactive concentrations, supporting more efficient manufacturing and distribution. These improvements are expected to increase batch sizes, enabling manufacturing sites with high‑energy cyclotrons to reach more patients and serve broader geographic markets. Overall, PYLARIFY TruVu has the potential to enhance supply flexibility and improve operating leverage for the network of PMFs that will manufacture and distribute the product.

"As we continue to innovate and expand our portfolio, ensuring a reliable and uninterrupted supply for our customers remains our top priority," said Dorothy Barr, Senior Vice President, Manufacturing and Technical Operations. "The PYLARIFY TruVu formulation is designed to enhance manufacturing efficiency, strengthen supply chain dependability and ultimately improve the healthcare system’s ability to deliver timely, accurate imaging for people with prostate cancer."

PYLARIFY TruVu is expected to be commercially available in the fourth quarter of 2026 and will be introduced on a rolling geographic basis, allowing customers to transition from PYLARIFY to the new formulation with minimal disruption.

"As a community dedicated to improving the lives of people facing prostate cancer, we’ve seen firsthand how advanced PSMA PET diagnostic tools like PYLARIFY have truly been game changers, providing real-time, highly accurate information that can meaningfully shape treatment decisions," said Gina B. Carithers, President and CEO, Prostate Cancer Foundation. "With prostate cancer incidence expected to rise in the years ahead, it’s encouraging to see companies like Lantheus putting patients first and introducing innovations that help ensure timely, precise imaging while keeping pace with growing demand. Access to accurate diagnostics, especially when metastatic or recurrent disease is suspected, can profoundly impact both quality of life and long-term outcomes for people living with prostate cancer."

More than 760,000 people with prostate cancer have received PSMA PET scans with PYLARIFY since the FDA granted approval in May 2021 based on findings from the OSPREY and CONDOR studies.

PYLARIFY Pivotal Data Summary
The safety and efficacy of PYLARIFY and PYLARIFY TruVu were established based on the PYLARIFY pivotal trials, OSPREY and CONDOR. OSPREY was a phase 2/3 clinical trial of 385 patients. In Cohort A, 252 men with high-risk prostate cancer had evaluable histopathology for determining the diagnostic performance of PYLARIFY in identifying pelvic nodal metastases. OSPREY Cohort A assessed sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV in pelvic lymph nodes and the prostate gland for PSMA-targeted PET with PYLARIFY. The median sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV were 38% (26, 51), 96% (94, 99), 77% (62, 92) and 83% (78, 88). Results showed that a PSMA-targeted PET scan with PYLARIFY significantly improved specificity over standard imaging while maintaining comparable sensitivity and delivering high PPV and NPV in men at risk for metastatic prostate cancer prior to initial therapy. Compared to standard imaging, PYLARIFY PET/CT delivered: Significantly higher specificity (97.9% vs 65.1%), nearly three times the PPV (86.7% vs 28.3%) and similar sensitivity to standard imaging (40.3% vs 42.6%).1

CONDOR was a robust, multicenter, phase 3 trial of 208 patients with suspected recurrent or metastatic prostate cancer with negative or equivocal results using standard imaging. The study design assessed correct localization rate (CLR), a metric of diagnostic performance measuring PPV at the patient level enhanced with anatomic lesion matching in patients with biochemically recurrent (BCR) prostate cancer.
CONDOR found that a PSMA-targeted PET scan with PYLARIFY in men with biochemical recurrent prostate cancer achieved the primary endpoint of correct localization rate (CLR): 85%-87% across all 3 readers (lower bound of 95% CI: 78%-80%).2

The safety of PYLARIFY was evaluated in 593 clinical patients who were exposed to a single dose of PYLARIFY and was generally well tolerated. The most common adverse reactions reported in ≤ 2% of patients were headache, dysgeusia and fatigue. In addition, a delayed hypersensitivity reaction was reported in one patient (0.2%) with a history of allergic reaction.3

About Prostate Cancer
Prostate cancer is the second most common form of cancer affecting men in the U.S. An estimated 1 in 8 men will be diagnosed in their lifetime. The incidence rate for prostate cancer has been increasing since 2014 at a rate of 3% per year overall. For 2026, estimates suggest nearly 334,000 new cases and more than 36,000 deaths. Prostate cancer can be a serious disease and is the second-leading cause of cancer death in men (behind lung cancer), but most men diagnosed with prostate cancer do not die from it. In fact, more than 3.5 million men in the U.S. consider themselves prostate cancer survivors.4

PYLARIFY TruVu (piflufolastat F 18) Injection
PYLARIFY TruVu (piflufolastat F 18) injection (also known as 18F-DCFPyL or PyL) is a fluorinated small molecule PSMA-targeted PET imaging agent that enables visualization of lymph nodes, bone and soft tissue metastases to determine the presence or absence of recurrent and/or metastatic prostate cancer.1,2

PYLARIFY TruVu was developed to build on the success of PYLARIFY, the number one utilized PSMA PET imaging agent in the U.S. which has been used in over 760,000 scans across 48 states, Puerto Rico and Washington, D.C.5

INDICATION
PYLARIFY (piflufolastat F 18) and PYLARIFY TRUVU (piflufolastat F 18) Injection are indicated for positron emission tomography (PET) of prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positive lesions in men with prostate cancer:

with suspected metastasis who are candidates for initial definitive therapy.
with suspected recurrence based on elevated serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
Risk of Image Misinterpretation
Imaging interpretation errors can occur with PYLARIFY and PYLARIFY TRUVU imaging. A negative image does not rule out the presence of prostate cancer and a positive image does not confirm the presence of prostate cancer. The performance of PYLARIFY and PYLARIFY TRUVU for imaging biochemical evidence of recurrence of prostate cancer seems to be affected by serum PSA levels. The performance of PYLARIFY and PYLARIFY TRUVU for imaging of metastatic pelvic lymph nodes prior to initial definitive therapy seems to be affected by risk factors such as Gleason score and tumor stage. PYLARIFY and PYLARIFY TRUVU uptake is not specific for prostate cancer and may occur with other types of cancer as well as non-malignant processes and in normal tissues. Clinical correlation, which may include histopathological evaluation, is recommended.

Hypersensitivity Reactions
Monitor patients for hypersensitivity reactions, particularly those with a history of allergy to other drugs and foods. Reactions may be delayed. Always have trained staff and resuscitation equipment available.

Radiation Risks
PYLARIFY and PYLARIFY TRUVU, expose patients to radiation. Radiation exposure is associated with a dose-dependent increased risk of cancer. Ensure safe handling and preparation procedures to protect patients and health care workers from unintentional radiation exposure. Advise patients to hydrate before and after administration and to void frequently after administration.

ADVERSE REACTIONS
The most frequently reported adverse reactions were headaches, dysgeusia and fatigue, occurring at rate of ≤2% during clinical studies. In addition, a delayed hypersensitivity reaction was reported in one patient (0.2%) with a history of allergic reactions.

DRUG INTERACTIONS
Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) and other therapies targeting the androgen pathway, such as androgen receptor antagonists, may result in changes in uptake of PYLARIFY and PYLARIFY TRUVU in prostate cancer. The effect of these therapies on performance of PYLARIFY and PYLARIFY TRUVU PET has not been established.

To report suspected adverse reactions for PYLARIFY or PYLARIFY TRUVU, call 1-800-362-2668 or contact FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch. Please see the full Prescribing Information for PYLARIFY and PYLARIFY TRUVU.
