Third Quarter and Recent Accomplishments and Highlights

Dermatology- Skin Cancer
•DecisionDx-Melanoma: The Company presented new data demonstrating DecisionDx-Melanoma stratifies risk across histological subtypes at the 25th Annual Fall Clinical Dermatology Conference, which was held Oct. 23–26, 2025, in Las Vegas, Nevada. Specifically, cutaneous melanoma (CM) subtypes, such as superficial spreading and nodular melanoma, vary in how often they occur and in their outcomes. Even among patients with the same subtype, differences in tumor biology can lead to very different prognoses. In a real-world cohort of 13,560 patients with stage I–III CM from Castle’s ongoing collaboration with the National Cancer Institute’s Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (NCI’s SEER) Program Registries, DecisionDx-Melanoma stratified melanoma-specific survival (MSS) across different tumor subtypes. For example, five-year MSS in nodular melanoma was 98.5% for patients with Class 1A (lowest risk) test results versus 82.3% for patients with Class 2B (highest risk) test results; similar stratification was observed across superficial spreading, lentigo maligna and unspecified subtypes. These results suggest that DecisionDx-Melanoma provides clarity in overall risk beyond histology, supporting more informed treatment planning and potentially improved outcomes. See the Company’s news release from October 24, 2025, for more information.
•DecisionDx-SCC: Two new studies were published supporting the clinical utility of DecisionDx-SCC in patients with high-risk cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). The first study represented a new validation milestone, establishing DecisionDx-SCC as a significant predictor of local recurrence (LR) in patients classified as high-risk by National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines, thereby adding a third utility to the test’s existing capabilities. The test has now been validated to predict individual risk of metastasis, benefit from adjuvant radiation therapy (ART) and risk of LR, providing comprehensive results to support tailored post-surgical management and treatment pathway recommendations for patients with SCC. The second publication shared results from a clinical impact study, affirming the impact of the test’s results in guiding these recommendations, specifically the use of ART and surveillance imaging, by providing actionable decision points based on individual patient risk. See the Company’s news release from August 25, 2025, for more information.
Gastroenterology
•The Company announced new data demonstrating the personalized risk stratification provided by its TissueCypher Barrett’s Esophagus (BE) test at the American Foregut Society’s (AFS) 2025 Annual Meeting. Specifically, this study evaluated TissueCypher’s ability to stratify risk in 85 patients diagnosed with non-dysplastic Barrett’s esophagus (NDBE) who received test results from four surgical practices. Patients with NDBE are generally considered to have the lowest risk of cancer progression, and current guidelines recommend surveillance every three to five years. However, while 85% of patients in the study received low-risk TissueCypher results, 15% were classified as intermediate- or high-risk by the TissueCypher test, indicating a significantly higher likelihood of progressing to high-grade dysplasia (HGD) or esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) than their pathology results suggested. Patients with intermediate-risk scores had a median five-year progression probability of 9%, and those with high-risk scores had a 16% probability. Both groups exceeded the 8.5% five-year risk of progression associated with expert-confirmed low-grade dysplasia (LGD) based on population estimates, which is the threshold at which guidelines recommend escalating to endoscopic eradication therapy (EET) or more frequent surveillance every six to twelve months. These findings show that TissueCypher can deliver clinically meaningful risk insights that can help physicians better tailor care for patients with BE. Notably, patients in the study with intermediate- and high-risk scores had similar or greater predicted progression risk than patients diagnosed with LGD, despite having a NDBE diagnosis. By identifying low-risk patients whose care can follow guideline-based surveillance intervals and intermediate- and high-risk patients who may benefit from earlier intervention, TissueCypher can potentially support more precise, risk-aligned management aimed at preventing disease progression. See the Company’s news release from September 9, 2025, for more information.

Dermatology- Atopic Dermatitis
•AdvanceAD-Tx: The Company announced the launch of AdvanceAD-Tx, a gene expression profile (GEP) test designed to guide systemic treatment decision making in patients ages 12 and older with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD). This innovative 487-GEP test is designed to identify patients with a Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor responder profile who are more likely to achieve an Eczema Area and Severity Index improvement of 90% (EASI-90), more quickly and with reduction of flares and itch by three months, when treated with a JAK inhibitor than those treated with a T helper type 2 (Th2)-targeted therapy. See the Company’s news release from November 3, 2025, for more information.
Corporate
•The Company announced that its founder, president and chief executive officer Derek Maetzold was named CEO of the Year by The CEO Magazine. The Executive of the Year Awards program recognizes senior executives driving measurable impact, innovation and inspiration. See the Company’s news release from October 1, 2025, for more information.
•The Company announced it was recognized as a Greater Pittsburgh Top Workplace by The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. The designation is based exclusively on anonymous employee feedback gathered through a third-party survey. The confidential survey measures several aspects of workplace culture designed to be indicative of employee satisfaction and engagement, including feeling respected and supported, enabled to grow and empowered to execute. Castle was among just 89 companies honored with a Greater Pittsburgh Top Workplaces award in 2025. See the Company’s news release from September 23, 2025, for more information.

Iovance Biotherapeutics Reports Potential Best-in-Class Clinical Data for Lifileucel TIL Cell Therapy in Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

On November 3, 2025 Iovance Biotherapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: IOVA), a commercial biotechnology company focused on innovating, developing, and delivering novel polyclonal tumor infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) therapies for patients with cancer, reported interim data from its registrational Phase 2 IOV-LUN-202 trial of lifileucel monotherapy in patients with previously treated advanced nonsquamous NSCLC without actionable genetic mutations.

The objective response rate (ORR) was 25.6% by RECIST v1.1 following one-time treatment with lifileucel monotherapy in patients with advanced nonsquamous NSCLC. An objective response was observed in 10 out of 39 patients, including 2 complete responses, 7 partial responses (PRs), and 1 unconfirmed PR (pending confirmatory assessment), with a disease control rate of 71.8%.1 The median duration of response (mDOR) was not reached after a median follow up of 25.4 months.

Iovance will present additional data from the IOV-LUN-202 trial at an upcoming medical meeting in 2026. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) previously provided positive regulatory feedback on the IOV-LUN-202 trial design and the proposed potency assay matrix to support registration. This trial design aligns with FDA guidance for single-arm trials to support accelerated approvals in conditions with unmet medical need. The IOV-LUN-202 trial is expected to progress in 2026 towards a supplemental Biologics License Application for lifileucel in nonsquamous NSCLC and a potential launch in the second half of 2027.

"It is exciting to see such an impressive response rate and durability observed in previously treated patients with NSCLC, because today there are only very limited treatment options, none of which demonstrate this quality of response and durability," said Martin Wermke, M.D., Professor for Experimental Cancer Therapy and Director at the National Center for Tumor Diseases Dresden. "One-time treatment with lifileucel monotherapy has the potential to benefit many patients with advanced NSCLC following initial treatment with an immune checkpoint inhibitor."

Following initial treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitor and chemotherapy, patients with advanced NSCLC have limited treatment options and often receive chemotherapy, which has limited durability. Standard-of-care docetaxel monotherapy in patients with nonsquamous NSCLC previously treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors and chemotherapy has recently shown an ORR of 12.8% with an mDOR of 5.6 months and overall survival of 12.3 months, without any complete responses.2

The safety profile for the lifileucel treatment regimen was consistent with the underlying disease, non-myeloablative lymphodepletion (NMA-LD), and interleukin-2 (IL-2). Improvements in the overall safety profile have been observed, without affecting efficacy, following the introduction of an updated regimen of reduced NMA-LD for IOV-LUN-202. Patients treated with the updated regimen showed a reduction of median post-IL-2 hospitalization days by more than half and lower incidence and shorter time to resolution of cytopenias compared with the initial regimen.

"Lifileucel has demonstrated a potentially best-in-class clinical profile in previously treated advanced nonsquamous NSCLC. The duration of response is unprecedented and is combined with an impressive response rate in a one-time monotherapy for a difficult-to-treat patient population," stated Friedrich Graf Finckenstein, M.D., Chief Medical Officer of Iovance. "We will pursue regulatory approvals for lifileucel monotherapy to effectively address the tens of thousands of patients with previously treated nonsquamous advanced NSCLC."

About Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Lung cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer and the leading cause of cancer death worldwide, with an estimated 2.5 million new cases and 1.8 million deaths globally each year, and an estimated 226,000 new cases and 125,000 deaths in the U.S. each year.3,4 Approximately 85% of lung cancer cases are NSCLC, with non-squamous NSCLC representing an estimated 75% of NSCLC cases.4

About IOV-LUN-202

IOV-LUN-202 is a registrational, global phase 2 study investigating lifileucel monotherapy in patients with advanced (metastatic or unresectable) NSCLC without EGFR, ROS1 or ALK actionable genetic mutations and previously treated with an immune checkpoint inhibitor and chemotherapy. Enrollment is expected to be completed during the second half of 2026.

About TIL Cell Therapy

Tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) are naturally occurring immune cells that are on constant surveillance to recognize, attack and kill cancer cells. TIL cells recognize cancer through tumor markers on the surface of cancer cells that are unique to each person. The majority of solid tumor immune targets are patient-specific, with fewer than 1% shared among patients. When cancer invades and prevails, the TIL cells are unable to perform their intended function. Cancer can then evade the immune system, exhausting the TIL cells and rendering them ineffective.

TIL cell therapy is intended to reinvigorate and expand a patient’s TIL cells so they can be deployed to fight cancer. A patient’s naturally occurring TIL cells are collected from a portion of their own tumor and grown outside the body using Iovance’s proprietary manufacturing process. Individualized TIL therapy is a one-time treatment to deliver these cells back to the patient. Once inside the body, TIL cell therapy deploys billions of personalized, patient-specific TIL cells to recognize, target, and destroy diverse cancer cells.

About Idiopathic Multicentric Castleman Disease (iMCD)
Idiopathic multicentric Castleman disease is a rare cytokine-driven disorder that may be life-threatening and can affect people of any age. Its symptoms often resemble those of malignant lymphoma, autoimmune, or infectious diseases, making it difficult to diagnose. iMCD is a subtype of Castleman disease (CD), which is a group of rare conditions that affect the immune system, characterized by swollen lymph nodes and a broad range of inflammatory signs and symptoms. The cause of iMCD is unknown, and there are no known risk factors. Some people with iMCD have elevated levels of interleukin 6 (IL-6), a cytokine that is produced in the body during inflammation and which plays a central pathological role in iMCD; IL-6 elevation may explain some of the symptoms patients experience, such as swollen lymph nodes, fever, unexplained weight loss, and night sweats.

About Cold Agglutinin Disease (CAD)
Cold agglutinin disease (CAD) is a rare type of autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA), characterized as a low-grade lymphoproliferative disorder of the bone marrow. In CAD, autoantibodies bind to erythrocytes at temperatures ≤37°C, leading to complement-mediated hemolysis. CAD symptoms include severe, debilitating fatigue and other clinical manifestations (e.g., dyspnea, tachycardia) that can impact patients’ quality of life. While the median age of onset is approximately 60 years, CAD has been diagnosed in patients as young as 30.
