TakeAim CLL Update

Eleven clinical sites are now open for enrollment in the TakeAim CLL study, reflecting strong investigator interest in the combination of emavusertib and zanubrutinib as a strategy to enable dual blockade of NF-kB, a key driver of CLL disease. The Company reaffirmed its expectations to announce the dosing of the initial five patients in the TakeAim CLL combination study with zanubrutinib by the end of July 2026, with data expected in December 2026.

"We are pleased with both our operational progress in the CLL study and the strong support from our shareholders as we work to regain compliance with the NASDAQ bid price listing requirement," said James Dentzer, President and CEO of Curis, "and we look forward to building on those successes in the weeks and months to come."
