"The past year marked a period of significant execution and progress for Janux as we continued to translate the promise of our tumor-activated platform into meaningful clinical and strategic advances. Recent JANX007 clinical results demonstrate clinical activity and a consistent and predictable safety profile in mCRPC and support continued advancement in taxane-naïve patients as well as other expansion cohorts," said David Campbell, Ph.D., President and CEO of Janux.
"In early 2026, we announced a collaboration with Bristol Myers Squibb that provides near-term capital and further validates the potential of our platform. We also continue to strengthen our team to support the next phase of clinical and pipeline growth. With additional product candidates entering the clinic in 2026, we believe Janux is well positioned to execute on our clinical strategy and continue to build long-term value for patients and shareholders."
BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS AND RECENT DEVELOPMENTS:
Clinical & Pipeline Progress
•
Janux presented updated interim Phase 1 data for JANX007 (PSMA-TRACTr) in December 2025. As of the October 15, 2025 data cutoff, 109 patients had been treated across Phase 1 cohorts:
•
Durable clinical activity was observed across both once-weekly (QW) and every-two-week (Q2W) cohorts, with median radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) ranging from 7.9 to 8.9 months. The rPFS in the Q2W cohort compared favorably to the QW expansion group.
•
Data demonstrated high prostate-specific antigen (PSA) response rates including deep PSA declines. Anti-tumor activity was observed, with confirmed and unconfirmed partial responses in 30% (8/27) of RECIST-evaluable patients.
•
Ongoing dose optimization of JANX007 monotherapy is focused on taxane-naïve mCRPC.
•
The Phase 1 study also includes expansion cohorts evaluating JANX007 in combination with darolutamide, an androgen receptor pathway inhibitor, to further characterize safety and clinical activity in taxane-naïve mCRPC.
•
Additional expansion cohorts are evaluating JANX007 monotherapy in patients with PARP inhibitor-refractory mCRPC, supporting assessment of activity in a high-unmet-need population.
•
JANX008 (EGFR-TRACTr) continues to enroll in its Phase 1 clinical trial in a defined group of solid tumors, with expansion cohorts underway to further characterize safety and clinical activity.
•
JANX011 (CD19-ARM) is actively enrolling its Phase 1 clinical trial in healthy volunteers.
Strategic Collaboration
•
In January 2026, Janux announced a collaboration and exclusive worldwide license agreement with Bristol Myers Squibb to develop a novel tumor-activated therapeutic targeting a validated solid tumor antigen.
•
Under the terms of the agreement, Janux is eligible to receive $50 million in upfront and near-term milestone payments, with the potential for additional development, regulatory and commercial milestones totaling approximately $800 million, as well as tiered royalties on global product sales, if successful.
•
Janux will lead preclinical development through IND submission, with Bristol Myers Squibb assuming responsibility for subsequent clinical development and global commercialization.
Corporate & Leadership
•
Janux recently announced the appointment of William Go, M.D., Ph.D. as Chief Medical Officer, strengthening the Company’s clinical leadership as additional programs enter the clinic in 2026 and progress toward later-stage development.
Upcoming Milestones
•
The Company expects to provide additional clinical data for JANX007 in 2026 or present these data at a future medical meeting.
•
The Company expects to provide additional clinical update for JANX008 in 2026.
•
The Company expects to announce initial clinical update from the Phase 1 study of JANX011 in healthy volunteers by year-end 2026.
