Ron Bentsur, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Nuvectis, commented, "Our activity in the third quarter focused on advancing the clinical work required to support our ambitious Phase 1b program for NXP900, which recently commenced." Mr. Bentsur continued, "Our goal for the Phase 1b program is to showcase NXP900’s therapeutic potential, both as a single agent and in combination with certain market-leading therapies with the aim of reversing acquired resistance to these drugs. With the Phase 1b monotherapy component already underway, and the expected upcoming initiation of the combination component, we continue to make strides towards achieving this goal." Mr. Bentsur added, "To support and inform the Phase 1b program, we completed the NXP900 Phase 1a dose escalation study and the drug-drug interaction study in healthy volunteers and are pleased with NXP900’s emerging clinical profile, especially with the deep pharmacodynamic response observed at clinically relevant doses." Mr. Bentsur concluded, "We believe that our cash position and focus on efficient operations will enable us to achieve the key milestones and potential value inflection points for the NXP900 Phase 1b program."

Third Quarter 2025 Financial Results

Cash and cash equivalents were $35.4 million as of September 30, 2025, compared to $18.5 million as of December 31, 2024. The increase of $16.9 million in the cash balance as of the end of the third quarter of 2025 is a result primarily of our public offering in February 2025 and the utilization of our At-the-Market facility, partially offset by the operating expenses for the first nine months of 2025.

The Company’s net loss was $7.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $4.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, an increase in net loss of $3.4 million. The increase in net loss in the third quarter of 2025 was primarily due to a one-time $2.0 million milestone achievement expense for NXP900 and $0.7 million related to the clinical drug-drug interaction study. The three months ended September 30, 2025 also includes $1.5 million of non-cash stock-based compensation.

Research and development expenses, including non-cash stock-based compensation, were $5.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $2.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $3.0 million.

General and administrative expenses, including non-cash stock-based compensation, were $2.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $1.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $0.5 million.

Interest income was $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024.

In a head-to-head comparison with standard-of-care therapies Tamoxifen and Abemaciclib (i.e., Verzenio), a single intratumoral injection of Zeta-BC-007 significantly outperformed both agents. Mice treated with Zeta-BC-007 containing NME + NaN + ABE showed a 66% reduction in tumor volume and complete absence of tumor activity by day 60, while all mice in the TAM and ABE groups succumbed to disease.

"Zeta-BC-007 represents a significant leap forward in intratumoral cancer therapy. By combining a novel molecular entity with synergistic therapeutics in a lipid-based hydrogel, we’ve demonstrated not only superior tumoricidal activity but also extended survival in preclinical models. These results reinforce our commitment to developing localized, non-systemic treatments that challenge the limitations of conventional cancer care."

— Bryan S. Margulies, PhD, Co-founder and CSO, Zetagen Therapeutics

"These results mark a pivotal moment in our journey to redefine primary breast cancer treatment," said Joe C. Loy, CEO of Zetagen Therapeutics. "the ability of Zeta-BC-007 to deliver potent tumoricidal effects through a single localized injection — without systemic toxicity — represents a new frontier in oncology. We believe this platform has the potential to transform how solid tumors are treated."

Radiant’s proprietary Multabody technology uniquely harnesses natural mechanisms to effectively engage multiple disease targets with unmatched strength, precise tunability, and exceptional breadth. 4-1BB is a clinically validated immune checkpoint target that elicits potent anti-tumor immunity and enhanced T cell responses but has eluded safe and effective therapeutic targeting by traditional 4-1BB agonists due to systemic and Fc-mediated liver toxicity. Radiant has leveraged its Multabody platform to develop RBT-101, a multivalent 4-1BB agonist that does not rely on traditional antibody methods to enhance potency, binding strength or durability.

Key Highlights from SITC (Free SITC Whitepaper) 2025 Poster Presentation:

RBT-101 achieved sustained complete tumor regression in MC38 colorectal mouse tumor model
RBT-101 demonstrated long-lived anti-tumor immunological memory; no detectable tumor growth was observed in mice that were re-challenged with MC38 tumor cells after previous successful treatment
RBT-101 demonstrated no signs of liver toxicity, in contrast to benchmark 4-1BB agonist urelumab
"Our data to be presented at SITC (Free SITC Whitepaper) demonstrates that RBT-101 achieves what first-generation 4-1BB agonists could not – delivering robust anti-tumor activity without liver toxicity," said Jo Hulme, Ph.D., CSO of Radiant. "This validates our Multabody platform’s potential to address a broad range of therapeutic targets while avoiding the inherent limitations of conventional antibody-based approaches, as RBT-101 drove potent, tunable and safe agonism of 4-1BB that more closely mimicked natural ligand biology. We look forward to the continued development of Multabodies as promising therapeutics in oncology and other disease areas."

The poster, titled "Multabodies: A next-generation approach for cancer immunotherapy and 4-1BB agonist therapy," will be presented onsite on Friday, November 7, 2025, and will also be available on the SITC (Free SITC Whitepaper) virtual meeting platform beginning November 7 at 9 a.m. ET.

"We are advancing the development of our ITK inhibitor, soquelitinib, in both atopic dermatitis and T cell lymphomas. We believe soquelitinib has the potential to be ideally positioned as a well-tolerated treatment for a range of immune diseases and cancers that works through a novel mechanism of action," said Richard A. Miller, M.D., co-founder, president and chief executive officer of Corvus. "We look forward to reporting results from extension cohort 4 of the soquelitinib Phase 1 trial in atopic dermatitis in the coming months, which will provide additional information on the 200 mg twice daily dose and a longer 8-week treatment period. In addition, we remain on track to initiate an atopic dermatitis Phase 2 trial with soquelitinib in early Q1 2026. In oncology, our Phase 3 registration clinical trial in PTCL continues to enroll and we are pleased that the final results from the related Phase 1/1b trial will be presented in an oral session at ASH (Free ASH Whitepaper). These data add to the growing clinical evidence supporting soquelitinib as a safe and active agent with potential in a range of diseases."

Business Update and Strategy

Soquelitinib (Corvus’ selective ITK inhibitor) for Immune Diseases

Completed enrollment in extension cohort 4 of the soquelitinib atopic dermatitis Phase 1 clinical trial, which includes 24 patients randomized 1:1 between active (soquelitinib 200 mg twice per day) and placebo. The treatment period for this group is 8 weeks with a 30-day follow-up period with no treatment. The extension cohort 4 is studying the same dose as cohort 3 of the Phase 1 trial, but for a longer treatment period (cohort 3 was 4 weeks). Cohort 3 patients experienced earlier responses and deeper separation from placebo compared to cohorts 1 and 2, which studied a lower dose of 100 mg twice per day or 200 mg once per day. Cohort 3 patients also had a clinically meaningful reduction in itch as early as day 8. Announcement of data from extension cohort 4 is anticipated in January 2026.
On track to initiate atopic dermatitis Phase 2 clinical trial in early Q1 2026. The trial is anticipated to enroll approximately 200 patients with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis that have failed at least one prior topical or systemic therapy. The trial is anticipated to enroll four cohorts of 50 patients each, with soquelitinib doses of: 200 mg once per day; 200 mg twice per day; and 400 mg once per day; along with a placebo group. The treatment period is anticipated to be 12 weeks with a 30-day follow-up period with no treatment.
Corvus also continues to advance its next-generation ITK inhibitor preclinical product candidates, which are designed to deliver precise T-cell modulation that is optimized for specific immunology and oncology indications.
Collaboration with National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID)

Patient enrollment continues in the Autoimmune Lymphoproliferative Syndrome (ALPS) Phase 2 clinical trial, which is being conducted under a clinical research and development agreement with NIAID. The Phase 2 clinical trial (NCT06730126) is anticipated to enroll up to 30 patients aged 16 or older with confirmed ALPS based on genetic testing.
Soquelitinib for T Cell Lymphoma

Corvus continues to enroll patients in a registrational Phase 3 clinical trial of soquelitinib in patients with relapsed/refractory PTCL at multiple clinical sites. This randomized controlled trial is anticipated to enroll a total of 150 patients with relapsed/refractory PTCL and is evaluating soquelitinib versus physicians’ choice of either belinostat or pralatrexate. The primary endpoint of the trial is progression free survival. There are no FDA fully approved agents for the treatment of relapsed/refractory PTCL, and the FDA has granted soquelitinib Orphan Drug Designation for the treatment of T cell lymphoma and Fast Track designation for treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory PTCL after at least 2 lines of systemic therapy.
The final data from the Company’s Phase 1/1b clinical trial evaluating soquelitinib in patients with T cell lymphoma will be reported in an oral presentation at the 67th American Society of Hematology (ASH) (Free ASH Whitepaper) Annual Meeting and Exposition in December 2025. Previously reported interim data from this trial supported the initiation of the ongoing registrational Phase 3 clinical trial of soquelitinib in patients with relapsed/refractory PTCL.
Financial Results
As of September 30, 2025, Corvus had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $65.7 million as compared to $52.0 million as of December 31, 2024. Consistent with last quarter, Corvus expects its cash to fund operations into the fourth quarter of 2026.

Research and development expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2025 totaled $8.5 million compared to $5.2 million for the same period in 2024. The increase of approximately $3.3 million was primarily due to higher clinical trial and manufacturing costs associated with the development of soquelitinib as well as an increase in personnel related costs.

Net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was $10.2 million compared to a net loss of $40.2 million for the same period in 2024. Included in net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was a non-cash loss of $32.8 million associated with a change in fair value of the Company’s warrant liability. Total stock compensation expense for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was $1.2 million compared to $0.7 million for the same period in 2024, and the non-cash loss from Corvus’ equity method investment in Angel Pharmaceuticals was $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to a non-cash loss of $0.7 million for the same period in 2024.

Conference Call Details
Corvus will host a conference call and webcast today, Tuesday, November 4, 2025, at 4:30 p.m. ET (1:30 p.m. PT), during which time management will provide a business update and discuss the third quarter 2025 financial results.
