"As supported by the data presented, the 400mg BID fed regimen maintains robust efficacy with a safety profile consistent with mutant-selective PI3Kα inhibition," said Don Bergstrom, M.D., Ph.D., President of R&D at Relay Therapeutics. "These results further support our decision to advance this regimen into the ongoing Phase 3 ReDiscover-2 trial and reinforce our confidence in selectively targeting PI3Kα mutations as a potentially differentiated approach for CDK4/6-experienced patients."

Phase 1/2 ReDiscover Trial – Zovegalisib 400mg Fed Cohort Data Consistent with 600mg Fasted Data

Zovegalisib is currently being evaluated in ReDiscover, an ongoing first-in-human study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and preliminary antitumor activity of zovegalisib in combination with fulvestrant and in combination with fulvestrant and CDK inhibitors in patients with PI3Kα-mutated, HR+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer.

As of the January 13, 2026 data cut-off date, 60 patients had received the 400mg BID fed regimen. The efficacy population consisted of 57 patients who did not have a PTEN or AKT co-mutation, consistent with the planned pivotal population. All patients had previously received a CDK4/6 inhibitor and at least one prior endocrine therapy in the advanced setting.

Pharmacokinetics of Both Doses are Similar

Pharmacokinetic analyses demonstrate that the 400mg BID fed regimen achieves exposures comparable to the previously evaluated 600mg BID fasted dose, with mean concentrations approaching IC90 in majority of patients and nearly all patients maintaining exposure above the IC80 throughout the dosing interval.

Efficacy Consistent with 600mg BID Fasted

As of the January 13, 2026 data cut-off date, among the 57 efficacy-evaluable patients at the 400mg BID fed dose, which is the recommended Phase 3 dose (RP3D):


Median follow-up was 12.0 months

Median progression-free survival (PFS) was 11.1 months (95% CI: 7.3–13.0)
o
Median PFS was 11.2 months in patients with kinase mutations (n=33) and 11.0 months in patients with non-kinase mutations (n=24)

Among 35 patients with measurable disease, confirmed objective response rate (ORR) was 43% (15/35) and in second line only patients the ORR was 52% (11/21)

Maintained Favorable and Differentiated Tolerability Profile

Zovegalisib + fulvestrant at the 400mg BID fed dose was generally well tolerated in the 60 treated patients as of the January 13, 2026 data cut-off. The overall tolerability profile consisted primarily of low-grade, manageable and reversible treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs).


Safety profile consistent with previously disclosed 600mg BID fasted data

Majority of hyperglycemia events were Grade 1; no Grade 4-5 hyperglycemia observed
o
In the limited cases of Grade 2/3 hyperglycemia, the vast majority occurred in patients that were pre-diabetic at baseline

Only four patients discontinued due to TRAEs

ReDiscover-2 – Ongoing Phase 3 Trial

The Phase 3 ReDiscover-2 trial (NCT06982521) is evaluating zovegalisib 400mg BID administered in combination with fulvestrant versus capivasertib + fulvestrant in patients with PI3Kα-mutated, HR+/HER2- advanced breast cancer who have progressed on prior CDK4/6 inhibitor therapy. The study initiated in mid-2025 and is enrolling globally.

Zovegalisib + fulvestrant has received FDA Breakthrough Therapy designation for the Phase 3 ReDiscover-2 trial population.

About Zovegalisib

Zovegalisib is the lead program in Relay Therapeutics’ efforts to discover and develop mutant selective inhibitors of PI3Kα, the most frequently mutated kinase in all cancers and all vascular anomalies. Zovegalisib has the potential, if approved, to address a significant portion of the approximately 140,000 patients with HR+/HER2- breast cancer with a PI3Kα mutation and the estimated 170,000 patients with vascular anomalies driven by a PI3Kα mutation per year in the United States, one of the largest patient populations for a precision medicine.

Traditionally, the development of PI3Kα inhibitors has focused on the active, or orthosteric, site. The therapeutic index of orthosteric inhibitors is limited by the lack of clinically meaningful selectivity for mutant versus wild-type (WT) PI3Kα and off-isoform activity. Toxicity related to inhibition of WT PI3Kα and other PI3K isoforms results in sub-optimal inhibition of mutant PI3Kα with reductions in dose intensity and frequent discontinuation. The Dynamo platform enabled the discovery of zovegalisib, the first known allosteric, pan-mutant, and isoform-selective PI3Kα inhibitor, designed to overcome these limitations. Relay Therapeutics solved the full-length cryo-EM structure of PI3Kα, performed computational long time-scale molecular dynamic simulations to elucidate conformational differences between WT and mutant PI3Kα, and leveraged these insights to support the design of zovegalisib. Zovegalisib is currently being evaluated in multiple metastatic breast cancer studies and a first-in-human study designed to treat patients with PIK3CA (PI3Kα) mutation driven vascular anomalies.

"We continue to focus on advancing silevertinib for the treatment of patients with EGFRm NSCLC and EGFR altered GBM," said Mark Velleca, M.D., Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Black Diamond Therapeutics. "We look forward to presenting updated results from the Phase 2 NSCLC trial in both the frontline and recurrent settings, including preliminary DOR and PFS data for frontline patients, at a medical meeting in the second quarter of 2026. We also expect to initiate our randomized Phase 2 trial in newly diagnosed GBM in the second quarter this year."

Recent Developments & Upcoming Milestones:

In December 2025 the Company disclosed initial data from the Phase 2 trial of silevertinib in frontline non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients harboring a broad spectrum of non-classical epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations which demonstrated a 60% Objective Response Rate (ORR by RECIST 1.1), 86% CNS ORR (by RANO-BM) and 91% disease control rate (DCR) as of a November 3, 2025 data cutoff. No new safety signals were observed. Black Diamond continues to explore potential partnership opportunities to advance silevertinib into pivotal development.
Black Diamond anticipates the following upcoming key milestones for silevertinib:
Presentation of updated clinical data from our Phase 2 trial in patients with non-classical EGFR NSCLC in both the recurrent setting and the frontline setting, including preliminary duration of response (DOR) and progression-free survival (PFS) data for frontline EGFRm patients, at a medical meeting in the second quarter of 2026 (NCT05256290).
Initiation of a randomized Phase 2 trial in patients with newly diagnosed EGFR-altered GBM in the second quarter of 2026 (NCT07326566).
Financial Highlights

Cash Position: Black Diamond ended 2025 with approximately $128.7 million in cash, cash equivalents, and investments compared to $98.6 million as of December 31, 2024. Net cash provided by operations was $29.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to net cash used in operations of $62.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Research and Development Expenses: Research and development (R&D) expenses were $6.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to $12.3 million for the same period in 2024. R&D expenses were $33.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $51.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease in R&D expenses was primarily due to workforce efficiencies and outlicensing of BDTX-4933 to increase focus on the development of silevertinib.

Data to be presented will include patient follow-up assessments, including evidence that THT treatments generated a clinical response in secondary, untreated tumors, known as an abscopal effect, in a Study patient. This study of ten, late-stage melanoma patients who had failed on standard-of-care immunotherapy protocols, was undertaken to assess the safety, tolerability and efficacy of THT in humans.

David Regan, Sona’s CEO, commented, "We are excited to be able to share our perspectives on some follow-up data from our first-in-human study from the Principal Investigator. While the Study was intended to assess THT’s safety, tolerability and ability to prime tumors for further treatment, THT given as a monotherapy treatment demonstrated in an astounding 80% clinical response rate ("CRR"), with 60% of treated, biopsied tumors cleared in only two weeks. In particular, evidence of an abscopal effect will be discussed with an opportunity for participants to question the study’s Principal Investigator."

A recording of the webinar will be made available following the webinar in the Investor Information section of the Company’s website.

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On March 16, 2026 CRISPR Therapeutics AG (the "Company") completed its previously announced private offering (the "Offering") of $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of its Convertible Senior Notes due 2031 (the "Notes"), including the exercise in full of the initial purchasers’ option to purchase up to an additional $50.0 million principal amount of Notes. The Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of March 16, 2026 (the "Indenture"), between the Company and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee. The investors in the Notes agreed to an effective coupon of 1.125%. Because of
anticipated 35% withholding on interest payments on the Notes under Swiss tax law, the Company agreed to increase the
coupon by 0.6058% to 1.7308% to effectively eliminate the impact of such anticipated withholding on any holders who are not
eligible to receive a refund.

The Company’s net proceeds from the Offering were approximately $585.2 million, after deducting the initial purchasers’ discounts and commissions and the estimated Offering expenses payable by the Company. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering for general corporate purposes.

The Notes are senior, unsecured obligations of the Company and will mature on March 1, 2031, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased. The Notes will accrue interest payable semiannually in arrears on March 1 and September 1 of each year, beginning on September 1, 2026. Holders may convert all or any portion of their Notes at their option at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the maturity date, other than during a "conversion freeze period" (as defined in the Indenture). Upon conversion, the Company will deliver for each $1,000 principal amount of converted Notes a number of its common shares, nominal value CHF 0.03 per share (the "Common Shares"), equal to the conversion rate (together with a cash payment in lieu of delivering any fractional Common Share).

The conversion rate for the Notes will initially be 13.0617 Common Shares per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $76.56 per Common Share). The initial conversion price of the Notes represents a premium of approximately 45.0% to the last reported sale price of $52.80 per Common Share on the Nasdaq Global Market on March 10, 2026. The conversion rate for the Notes will be subject to adjustment in some events in accordance with the terms of the Indenture but will not be adjusted for any accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, if certain corporate events occur or are anticipated to occur prior to the maturity date of the Notes or if the Company delivers a notice of optional redemption, the Company will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate of the Notes for a holder who elects to convert its Notes in connection with such a corporate event or convert its Notes called (or deemed called) for redemption in connection with such notice of optional redemption. Initially, a maximum of 11,363,580 Common Shares may be delivered upon conversion of the Notes, based on the initial maximum conversion rate of 18.9393 Common Shares per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, which is subject to customary conversion rate adjustment provisions.

The Company may not redeem the Notes prior to March 6, 2029. The Company may redeem for cash all or any portion of the Notes (subject to the partial redemption limitation described in the Indenture), at its option, on an optional redemption date occurring on or after March 6, 2029 if the last reported sale price of the Common Shares has been at least 130% of the conversion price for the Notes then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period (including the last trading day of such period) ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides notice of optional redemption, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the optional redemption date. No sinking fund is provided for the Notes.

If the Company undergoes a fundamental change (as defined in the Indenture), then, subject to certain conditions and except as described in the Indenture, holders may require the Company to repurchase for cash all or any portion of their Notes at a fundamental change repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date.

The Indenture includes customary covenants and sets forth certain events of default after which the Notes may be declared immediately due and payable and sets forth certain types of bankruptcy or insolvency events of default involving the Company after which the Notes become automatically due and payable. The following events are considered "events of default" under the Indenture:


default in any payment of interest on any Note when due and payable and the default continues for a period of 30 days;

default in the payment of principal of any Note when due and payable at its stated maturity, upon any optional redemption, upon any required repurchase, upon declaration of acceleration or otherwise;

the Company’s failure to comply with its obligation to convert the Notes in accordance with the Indenture upon exercise of a holder’s conversion right and such failure continues for three business days;

the Company’s failure to give a (A) make-whole fundamental change notice for any anticipated make-whole fundamental change when due and such failure continues for one business day or (B) fundamental change notice or a make-whole fundamental change notice not otherwise described in (A), in each case when due and such failure continues for four business days;

the Company’s failure to comply with its obligations in respect of any consolidation, merger or sale of assets;

the Company’s failure to comply with any of the Company’s other agreements contained in the Notes or the Indenture for 60 days after its receipt of written notice of such failure from the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding;

default by the Company or any of the Company’s significant subsidiaries (as defined in the Indenture) with respect to any mortgage, agreement or other instrument under which there may be outstanding, or by which there may be secured or evidenced, any indebtedness for money borrowed with a principal amount in excess of $60.0 million (or its foreign currency equivalent) in the aggregate of the Company and/or any such significant subsidiary, whether such indebtedness now exists or shall hereafter be created (i) resulting in such indebtedness becoming or being declared due and payable prior to its stated maturity date or (ii) constituting a failure to pay the principal of any such debt when due and payable (after the expiration of all applicable grace periods) at its stated maturity, upon required repurchase, upon declaration of acceleration or otherwise, and in the cases of clauses (i) and (ii), such acceleration shall not have been rescinded or annulled or such failure to pay or default shall not have been cured or waived, or such indebtedness is not paid or discharged, as the case may be, within 30 days after written notice to the Company by the trustee (at the direction of any holder of Notes) or to the Company and the trustee by holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding in accordance with the Indenture; or

certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency, or reorganization of the Company or any of the Company’s significant subsidiaries.
If certain bankruptcy and insolvency-related events of default involving the Company (and not just any of its significant subsidiaries) occur, 100% of the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes will automatically become due and payable. If an event of default other than certain bankruptcy and insolvency-related events of default involving the Company occurs and is continuing, the trustee, by notice to the Company, or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes by notice to the Company and the trustee, may, and the trustee at the request of such holders shall, declare 100% of the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all the Notes to be due and payable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indenture provides that, to the extent the Company so elects, the sole remedy for an event of default relating to certain failures by the Company to comply with certain reporting covenants in the Indenture will, for the first 365 days after the occurrence of such an event of default, consist exclusively of the right to receive additional interest on the Notes as set forth in the Indenture.

The Indenture provides that the Company shall not consolidate with or merge with or into, or sell, convey, transfer or lease the consolidated properties and assets of the Company and its subsidiaries substantially as an entirety to another person (other than any such sale, conveyance, transfer or lease to one or more of the Company’s direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiaries), unless: (i) the resulting, surviving or transferee person (if not the Company) is a "qualified successor entity" (as defined in the Indenture) organized and existing under the laws of Switzerland or of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, and such successor entity (if not the Company) expressly assumes by supplemental indenture all of the Company’s obligations under the Notes and the Indenture; and (ii) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no default or event of default has occurred and is continuing under the Indenture.

A copy of the Indenture is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1 (including the global form of the Notes attached hereto as Exhibit 4.2) and this description is qualified in its entirety by reference to such document.
