Pancreatic cancer remains one of the most lethal malignancies in Italy. The 2024 incidence is nearly evenly distributed between men (6,873 cases) and women (6,712 cases), with national five-year net survival of just 11% in men and 12% in women. Roughly one patient in five is diagnosed when the tumor is still localized and amenable to surgery, meaning approximately 80% present with already advanced disease. Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma is the fourth leading cause of cancer-related death in women and the sixth in men in Italy, and approximately 30% of patients present with locally advanced, inoperable disease – the population for whom this study was designed.

By enabling two complementary delivery pathways – endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) and percutaneous – within a single protocol, the study aims to bring interventional radiologists and interventional oncologists into the Alpha DaRT pancreatic treatment paradigm alongside gastroenterologists, endoscopists and surgeons, and to accommodate patients whose tumor location or anatomy is less amenable to EUS access alone.

Uzi Sofer, CEO of Alpha Tau, commented: "The Pancreas Institute in Verona is widely regarded as one of the leading pancreatic cancer centers in the world, and it has been a tremendous privilege to partner with Pr. Paiella and his brilliant team to offer the surgical, scientific, and multidisciplinary approach that this disease demands – a disease in which Italian patients face an exceptionally grim outlook. Just as significant is that this is the first Alpha DaRT protocol to incorporate the percutaneous delivery route. That choice reflects what we call our ‘Innovation in Simplicity’ philosophy at Alpha Tau: rather than asking physicians to learn fundamentally new techniques, our R&D team’s focus is on adapting Alpha DaRT to the workflows that interventional radiologists, interventional oncologists, gastroenterologists, and surgeons already perform every day. Each delivery route we open up means more alternatives for physicians, more capable centers, and ultimately more lives potentially reached."

Robert B. Den, MD, Chief Medical Officer of Alpha Tau, stated: "With this study, three complementary Alpha DaRT pancreatic cancer trials are advancing simultaneously, each designed for a distinct clinical context. Our IMPACT trial in the United States evaluates Alpha DaRT combined with chemotherapy in newly diagnosed unresectable patients, ACAPELLA in France evaluates Alpha DaRT with capecitabine in patients who have completed first-line mFOLFIRINOX, and this study is designed specifically for those who have already received chemotherapy or who are medically unfit for systemic treatment – a real-world population that often has no defined next step – and evaluates Alpha DaRT as a stand-alone local intervention. The protocol’s allowance of percutaneous source placement carries scientific weight beyond physician access: it gives us the opportunity to generate prospective safety, dosimetric, and clinical outcome data on an alternative delivery route that interventional teams already use routinely for pancreatic procedures. Doing this work with the team at the Verona Pancreas Institute, an internationally recognized reference center, gives us confidence in the rigor with which the evidence will be generated."

Pr. Salvatore Paiella, MD, PhD, principal investigator and Associate Professor of General Surgery at the Pancreas Institute, University of Verona, added: "At the Pancreas Institute of the University of Verona, our patients benefit from a genuinely multidisciplinary model in which surgeons, gastroenterologists, endoscopists, oncologists, radiologists, and pathologists operate as a single team, supported by one of the highest pancreatic surgical volumes in Europe and a long-established research program. That clinical foundation is what allows us to undertake a study of this kind with the diligence it requires. From a procedural standpoint, the Alpha DaRT insertion proved straightforward – the sources are placed directly into the tumor through image-guided approaches, in a single session, without the burden of repeated treatments. Being the first center anywhere to evaluate the percutaneous delivery route within an Alpha DaRT protocol is something we take particular pride in. It broadens the eligible patient population beyond cases optimally suited to endoscopic access, and positions us to help define how this therapy is integrated into the wider pancreatic cancer treatment pathway. I am glad to work with Dr. Stefano Francesco Crinò and Prof. Mirko D’Onofrio, who both have extensive experience in interventional procedures in pancreatic tumors."

About the Study

CTP-PANC-03 ("A Feasibility and Safety Study of Intratumoral Diffusing Alpha Radiation Emitters for the Treatment of Locally Advanced Pancreatic Cancer") is a prospective, interventional, open-label, single-arm, single-center clinical study planned to enroll up to 15 patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer at the Azienda Ospedaliera Universitaria Integrata di Verona, with a planned safety interim analysis after the first 5 patients. Eligible patients must have histologically or cytologically confirmed locally advanced pancreatic cancer, have received at least one line of chemotherapy or be medically unfit for chemotherapy, and have an unresectable tumor of ≤ 5 cm in longest diameter. The primary objective is to evaluate the feasibility and safety of Alpha DaRT source placement; secondary objectives include local control per RECIST v1.1, changes in CA 19-9 biomarker levels, tumor coverage, and adverse event incidence. Exploratory objectives include changes in immune biomarkers (CD3, CD4, CD8, CD69, CD137) following treatment. Per protocol, Alpha DaRT sources may be delivered using either endoscopic ultrasound guidance or a percutaneous approach.

"Our SIM0505 program reached critical milestones this quarter, headlined by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granting Fast Track designation for platinum-resistant ovarian cancer (PROC) and the upcoming presentation of initial Phase 1 data at the American Society for Clinical Oncology (ASCO 2026)," said Michael Richman, President and CEO of NextCure. "We believe Fast Track designation validates the potential of this CDH6 antibody drug conjugate (ADC) and the urgent need for new therapies. As we prepare to present our data at ASCO (Free ASCO Whitepaper) 2026, we are also focusing on accelerating development, with plans to increase our U.S. trial sites and expand our footprint into Canada and Europe. With the recent initiation of the dose optimization this month, we are fully committed to bringing this transformative treatment to patients."

Business Highlights and Near-Term Milestones

SIM0505 (CDH6 ADC): Phase 1 dose escalation data expected in Q2 2026

SIM0505 is a novel ADC directed to cadherin-6 (CDH6 ADC), overexpressed in several cancers including ovarian cancer, with limited expression in healthy tissues. SIM0505 features a proprietary topoisomerase 1 inhibitor (TOPOi) payload, designed for broad anti-tumor activity, fast systemic clearance and an improved potential therapeutic window.

● Received Fast Track designation for the treatment of women with PROC from the FDA.
● Data from the Phase 1 open-label dose escalation study in patients with advanced solid tumors with a focus on gynecological cancers and an emphasis on PROC (NCT06792552) are expected to be presented at ASCO (Free ASCO Whitepaper) 2026 on June 1, 2026, including results from patients in the U.S. and China.
● Announced in May 2026 the initiation of the Phase 1 dose optimization study in gynecologic cancers by dosing patients with PROC. NextCure anticipates increasing the number of trial sites in the second half of 2026, including the activation of sites in Canada and Europe, with continued study site additions in 2027.

LNCB74 (B7-H4 ADC): Ongoing enrollment in Phase 1 dose escalation

LNCB74 is a novel ADC directed to B7-H4, overexpressed in several cancers, with limited expression in healthy tissues. LNCB74 features a proprietary tumor-selective cleavable linker and a tubulin inhibitor monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE) payload.

● Ongoing open-label Phase 1 dose escalation study (NCT06774963) continues to prioritize patients with high B7-H4 expression in breast and gynecological cancers, as well as the inclusion of patients with adenoid cystic carcinoma type 1. NextCure intends to backfill patients to investigate particular dose levels and schedules in the expected therapeutic window.
● Trial progress update planned in the second half of 2026.

Financial Results for the Quarter Ended March 31, 2026

● Cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities as of March 31, 2026 were $29.7 million as compared to $41.8 million as of December 31, 2025. The decrease of $12.1 million was primarily due to cash used to fund operations of $13.4 million, partially offset by proceeds of $1.2 million from equity sales under our existing ATM program. NextCure expects current financial resources to be sufficient to fund operating expenses and capital expenditures into the first half of 2027 through proof-of-concept for SIM0505.
● Research and development expenses were $6.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to $7.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease of $1.1 million was due to lower costs related to deprioritized programs which were largely offset by costs for the SIM0505 program, and lower personnel costs, primarily non-cash stock compensation costs and lower depreciation.
● General and administrative expenses were $3.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to $3.7 million for the three months ended March, 2025. The decrease of $0.4 million was primarily related to lower non-cash stock compensation costs.
● Net loss was $9.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to a net loss of $11.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The lower net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025 was driven by the lower research and development and general and administrative expenses mentioned above, partially offset by lower other income of $0.3 million.

"Photocure delivered a solid start to 2026, with strong growth across all territories and continued execution across both our commercial and strategic priorities. Revenue growth was robust in North America and Europe, reflecting accelerating adoption of blue-light cystoscopy and increasing procedural penetration in key markets," says Dan Schneider, President & Chief Executive Officer of Photocure.

The company continued to execute on its plan to expand blue-light cystoscopy (BLC) use in Q1 2026 with the installation of 11 new Saphira towers in the U.S. — 4 new accounts and 7 blue light tower upgrades. Photocure had 413 active accounts in the U.S. at the end of the quarter, an increase of 21% versus the first quarter of 2025. Across Europe, a total of 75 Olympus Visera Elite III BLC capable systems were installed since the launch in Q1 2025.

Total revenues ended at NOK 264.6 million in the first quarter of 2026, an increase from NOK 125.3 million in Q1 2025. The total revenue in Q1 2026 includes recognized milestone payments of NOK 125.6 million for the approval of Cevira in China and the acceptance of the marketing authorization approval request in Europe. Reported EBITDA was NOK 128.3 million (NOK 1.8 million). EBIT ended at NOK 120.7 million (NOK -5.6 million). Cash and cash equivalents were NOK 192.7 million at the end of the period.

"As a very important regulatory and strategic update, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has provided clarity on the reclassification pathway for OAY-related equipment (Diagnostic Endoscopic Light Source Systems) following its response to the Karl Storz Citizen Petition and has confirmed plans to initiate a proposed reclassification process in the second half of 2026. This marks an important step towards a more structured and predictable regulatory framework for BLC equipment in the U.S. market. For Photocure, reclassification has the potential to be a step-change driver for the business, unlocking a significantly larger commercial opportunity, as we move towards double-digit penetration across the expanded market relative to where we are today," Schneider adds.

Photocure’s partners Richard Wolf and Asieris achieved a significant milestone with the April approval of the System blue BLC platform in China, which will be commercialized alongside Hexvix following its prior approval by the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) in November 2024, enabling a fully integrated drug–device offering. At the same time, the recent CE mark and early commercial traction of blue light–compatible systems in Europe from the leading global medtech company Stryker, reinforce the growing recognition of BLC as an important standard in bladder cancer management and supporting broader adoption over time.

"Cevira, originally developed by Photocure and out-licensed to Asieris, was approved in China by the NMPA in March as a first-in-class non-invasive therapy for cervical precancerous lesions. Shortly thereafter, Cevira was endorsed with Level 1A evidence in expert consensus guidelines in China, reinforcing its clinical adoption potential. In Europe, the European Medicines Agency accepted the Marketing Authorization Application for Cevira during the quarter as well. The approval of Cevira in China and the EMA acceptance serve as milestones with contractual payments owed to Photocure in the amounts of 11.0 million and 2.0 million dollars respectively. The NMPA approval milestone is in dispute, with Asieris having paid 6.6 million of the 11.0 million dollars owed. Photocure believes its legal position to collect the full amount is strong and intends to engage in discussions with Asieris to explore potential pathways forward," Schneider says, and continues:

"Furthermore, in addition to our Hexvix/Cysview base business and partnered developments mentioned above, Photocure also remains committed to advancing a strategy of building an integrated diagnostics platform and leveraging our existing strong commercial footprints in North America and Europe. The uro-oncology landscape is rapidly evolving toward more personalized and data-driven care pathways, increasing the importance of multi-modal precision diagnostics tools. During the quarter, we made a targeted 3.0 million dollar minority investment in Vesica Health, a company within precision diagnostics, developing and launching a multi-omic urine biomarker test for early detection of bladder cancer with best-in-class performance. Our initiatives in flexible cystoscopy with Richard Wolf, AI-enabled software with Claritas/ISC, biomarkers with Vesica Health, and other innovations are progressing as planned, with the goal of improving early detection, diagnostic confidence, surveillance and treatment decision-making."

Photocure sees multiple drivers supporting continued growth in its base business, including sustained procedural adoption, expansion of installed equipment, increased utilization across existing accounts, and continued upgrade cycles to next-generation imaging systems. In addition, several strategic catalysts will further enhance its trajectory, including FDA reclassification of BLC to bring additional rigid equipment manufacturers to the U.S. and the reintroduction of flexible BLC solutions.

"We remain confident in Photocure’s momentum and continued positive trajectory. We expect strong underlying revenue growth across all regions, with product revenue growth of 7% to 11% on a constant currency basis, supported by sustained commercial execution. As operating leverage improves, we anticipate further expansion in adjusted EBITDA margin, reflecting the scalability of our platform and disciplined execution across the base business alongside a strategic platform extension. Our focus remains on delivering consistent execution and building long-term shareholder value," Schneider concludes.
