BioLineRx Reports Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results and Provides Corporate Update

On August 31, 2026 BioLineRx Ltd. (NASDAQ/TASE: BLRX), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company pursuing life-changing therapies in oncology and rare diseases, reported its unaudited financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, and provided a corporate update.

"During the second quarter and subsequent period, we advanced GLIX1 across multiple fronts," stated Philip Serlin, Chief Executive Officer of BioLineRx. "Our Phase 1/2a study in glioblastoma is advancing as planned, with the second cohort in the Phase 1 part now being dosed, and the third cohort expected to commence dosing in September. To date, a little more than four months into the study, we have been very pleased with the drug’s safety and tolerability.

"Also, during the quarter, we were excited to demonstrate the potential of GLIX1 to address unmet needs for GBM as well as ovarian cancer in a number of pre-clinical models. In this regard, we announced new data in a temozolomide-resistant patient-derived xenograft (PDX) GBM in-vivo model, in which GLIX1 demonstrated a robust anti-tumor effect while TMZ showed no effect. These results further support GLIX1’s potential to treat a broad range of patients with GBM. We also generated data showing strong synergy between GLIX1 and PARP inhibitors in an HR-proficient patient-derived ovarian cancer in-vivo model, and based upon these excellent findings, we are planning to add an ovarian cancer arm to the Phase 2a expansion phase of the trial. Together, these developments keep GLIX1 on track in glioblastoma while extending its reach into additional tumor types where new treatment options are desperately needed."

Financial Updates

• With $13.1 million on its balance sheet as of June 30, 2026, BioLineRx is maintaining its cash runway guidance into the first half of 2027.

• On August 27, 2026, the Company entered into definitive agreement for an offering with gross proceeds of $3.75 million, expected to close on or about August 31, 2026.

Development Updates

GLIX1 in GBM

• In July, dosing commenced in the second of five planned cohorts in the Phase 1 dose escalation part of the Phase 1/2a study.

o Three leading cancer centers are enrolling patients in the Phase 1 part of the study: NYU Langone Health, led by Dr. Alexandra Miller; Northwestern University, led by Dr. Roger Stupp and Dr. Ditte Primdahl; and Moffit Cancer Center, led by Dr. Patrick Grogan.

o The Phase 1 part of the trial is expected to recruit up to 30 patients with recurrent and progressive GBM and other high-grade gliomas. The objective is to establish a maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or a recommended dose based on safety, PK/PD and preliminary efficacy.

o The Phase 2a expansion part of the trial is planned to include various population cohorts, including GBM (newly diagnosed and/or recurrent), as well as additional cancers with/without standard of care (e.g., PARP inhibitors), including an ovarian cancer arm. These cohorts are expected to identify preliminary efficacy, PD assessments and dose optimization data, serving as the basis for rapid and effective advanced clinical development.

• New data demonstrated potent anti-tumor effect of GLIX1 in GBM across multiple in-vivo studies, including a temozolomide (TMZ)-resistant patient-derived xenograft model. In the three orthotopic CDX studies, significant tumor growth inhibition and survival benefit were observed following treatment with GLIX1 across all doses tested, with greater benefit at higher dose levels. Most notably, in the subcutaneous PDX model, GLIX1 demonstrated a robust anti-tumor effect while TMZ showed no effect.

• Clinical and pre-clinical data has been accepted for publication at the European Association of Neuro-Oncology (EANO) 2026 Conference and at the Society for Neuro-Oncology (SNO) 2026 Annual Meeting.

GLIX1 in combination with PARPi

• New data demonstrated strong synergy between GLIX1 and PARP inhibitors, reinforcing synthetic lethality between GLIX1 and PARP inhibitors.

o Synergy was demonstrated in a patient-derived xenograft (PDX) in-vivo model of HR-proficient ovarian cancer, where PARP inhibitors have historically had limited efficacy. Results show substantially better efficacy in the combination arm versus the control arm and versus the monotherapy arms, despite using lower doses in the combination arm. Notably, the low-dose GLIX1/olaparib combination tumor reduction was similar to cisplatin, the current chemotherapy benchmark.

• An abstract featuring new GLIX1 data, demonstrating synergy with PARP inhibitors in HR-proficient ovarian cancer, was accepted for publication at the 2026 European Society for Medical Oncology Annual Congress (ESMO 2026) in October.

• BioLineRx has initiated discussions with leading PARP inhibitor companies to explore potential development collaborations.

Motixafortide

Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (mPDAC)

• Enrollment is continuing in the CheMo4METPANC Phase 2b clinical trial, which is being led by Columbia University, and supported by both Regeneron and BioLineRx. The trial is evaluating motixafortide in combination with the PD-1 inhibitor cemiplimab and standard chemotherapy (gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel).

o A prespecified interim/futility analysis is planned when 40% of progression-free survival (PFS) events are observed, which the Company continues to anticipate will occur in 2026.

APHEXDA Performance Update

• For the second quarter of 2026, APHEXDA sales were $1.6 million, which provided royalty revenue to the Company of $0.3 million.

Financial Results for the Quarter ended June 30, 2026

• Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2026 were $0.3 million, similar to the three months ended June 30, 2025.

• Research and development expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2026 were $2.9 million, an increase of $0.6 million, or 26.5%, compared to $2.3 million for the comparable 2025 period. The increase resulted primarily from expenses related to the new GLIX1 project, offset by lower expenses related to motixafortide.

• General and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2026 were $0.9 million, an increase of $0.7 million, or 313.9%, compared to $0.2 million for the comparable 2025 period. The increase resulted from the reversal of a $0.8 million provision for doubtful accounts in the 2025 period following receipt of an overdue milestone payment from Gloria.

• Non-operating expenses amounted to $0.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to non-operating expenses of $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. Non-operating expenses for both periods primarily relates to fair-value adjustments of warrant liabilities on the Company’s balance sheet.

• Net financial expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2026 were $0.1 million compared to net financial income of $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. Net financial expenses in 2026 primarily relate to interest paid on loans, partially offset by investment income earned on bank deposits. Net financial income in 2025 primarily relates to investment income earned on bank deposits and gains on foreign currency cash balances due to the strengthening of the NIS during the period, partially offset by interest paid on loans.

• Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was $4.3 million, compared to $3.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025.

• As of June 30, 2026, the Company had cash, cash equivalents, and short-term bank deposits of $13.1 million.

AIM ImmunoTech Secures Broad U.S. Patent for Rintatolimod (Ampligen®) Used in Combination with Pembrolizumab (Keytruda®), Expanding Oncology IP Protection for Ampligen Through 2039

On August 31, 2026 AIM ImmunoTech Inc. (NYSE American: AIM) ("AIM" or the "Company") reported that the United States Patent and Trademark Office has granted a patent covering the use of the Company’s drug Ampligen in combination with the PD-1 checkpoint inhibitor pembrolizumab for the treatment of cancer. This newly issued U.S. patent expires December 20, 2039.

Ampligen is a wide-spectrum Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3) agonist, among other biological effects, and has been investigated for the treatment of various cancers, among other conditions. The Company has been issued multiple patents, and has filed multiple additional patent applications, directed to the use of Ampligen for cancer treatment.

"The issuance of this patent marks another significant step in building a broad and durable intellectual property patent estate around Ampligen’s potential role in cancer immunotherapy," said Thomas Equels, Chief Executive Officer of AIM ImmunoTech. "This patent protects Ampligen’s use in combination therapy with the leading PD-1 checkpoint therapy across a broad range of cancers and specifically encompasses pancreatic cancer, the central focus of our late-stage oncology strategy. Together with our existing U.S. and international patents covering Ampligen with PD-1 and PD-L1 checkpoint blockade, we believe this growing patent estate strengthens both the scientific and strategic foundation supporting Ampligen’s long-term oncology opportunity."

The newly issued patent’s broadest claim covers methods of treating cancer, by giving Ampligen together with pembrolizumab, whether administered at the same time or at different times, where the combination produces a greater effect against the cancer than either treatment alone, or than would be expected simply by adding their individual effects together. Other claims in the patent specifically name pancreatic cancer, skin cancer, colorectal cancer, ovarian cancer, melanoma, breast cancer, triple negative breast cancer, head and neck tumor, bladder cancer, renal cell carcinoma, and lung cancer as types of cancers for which the combination use is claimed in the patent, but the broad claim’s coverage is not limited to any cancer.

AIM also holds a U.S. patent, expiring August 9, 2039, covering methods of using Ampligen as part of a combination oncology therapy paired with an anti-programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) antibody; a Netherlands patent, expiring December 19, 2039, broadly covering the use of Ampligen as a combination cancer therapy with PD-1 and PD-L1 checkpoint blockade inhibitors; and a Japanese patent, expiring December 20, 2039, covering the use of Ampligen in combination with either anti-PD-1 or anti-PD-L1 antibodies for the treatment of cancer.

HUTCHMED Announces SANOVO Trial Demonstrated Significant Progression-Free Survival Benefit of ORPATHYS® Plus TAGRISSO® in Treatment-Naïve Patients with MET-Overexpressing EGFR-mutated Lung Cancer in China

On August 31, 2026 HUTCHMED (China) Limited ("HUTCHMED") (Nasdaq/AIM: HCM; HKEX: 13) reported positive high-level results from the SANOVO China Phase III trial in treatment-naïve patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer ("NSCLC") whose tumors harbor epidermal growth factor receptor ("EGFR") mutation and MET overexpression. ORPATHYS (savolitinib) plus TAGRISSO (osimertinib) demonstrated a statistically significant and highly clinically meaningful improvement in progression-free survival ("PFS") versus TAGRISSO alone in both the high MET and intention-to-treat ("ITT") patient populations.

In both patient populations, the combination also demonstrated a very encouraging clinical benefit in overall survival ("OS"), a secondary endpoint of the trial. The trial will continue to follow-up on these results. These data will be presented at a forthcoming medical meeting.

Professor Yi-Long Wu of the Guangdong Provincial People’s Hospital, and the leading Principal Investigator of the SANOVO trial, said: "Co-occurring MET overexpression in treatment-naïve EGFR-mutated NSCLC often compromises the long-term durability of EGFR-TKI monotherapy. The positive findings from SANOVO demonstrate that addressing both pathways upfront with an all-oral, biomarker-directed regimen offers a powerful new approach for these patients whose tumors have MET overexpression. By combining ORPATHYS with TAGRISSO, we have observed a clear clinical benefit that could reshape primary treatment strategy for this distinct patient population."

Dr Weiguo Su, Chief Executive Officer* and Chief Scientific Officer of HUTCHMED, said: "We are thrilled by the positive results from SANOVO, which validate our strategy of addressing MET-driven disease across multiple stages of lung cancer. Building on the strong foundations of our Phase III SAFFRON global study and SACHI study in China in pre-treated patients, SANOVO data further validate the therapeutic strength and versatility of the ORPATHYS and TAGRISSO combination in first-line patients. We are deeply grateful to all patients and investigators who participated in the trial, and we look forward to sharing the data with regulatory authorities to bring this innovative all-oral combination to the first-line setting in China."

Dr Jing He, Head of R&D China, AstraZeneca, said: "These positive data underscore the pivotal role of ORPATHYS in intercepting MET-driven resistance early in the treatment journey. By combining the targeted precision of ORPATHYS with backbone TAGRISSO, SANOVO demonstrates a meaningful clinical advancement for treatment-naïve patients with MET overexpression and EGFR mutation. Together with HUTCHMED, we are excited to advance ORPATHYS in China as a transformative, biomarker-directed addition to frontline lung cancer care."

The safety profile for ORPATHYS plus TAGRISSO was consistent with the known profiles of each medicine, and there were no new safety findings.

ORPATHYS plus TAGRISSO is approved in China for patients with locally advanced or metastatic EGFR‑mutated ("EGFRm") NSCLC with MET amplification after disease progression on EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitor ("TKI") therapy based on the SACHI Phase III trial. The combination also reported positive high-level results in the SAFFRON global Phase III trial in EGFRm NSCLC with MET overexpression or amplification after disease progression on TAGRISSO in August 2026, demonstrating a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in both PFS and overall survival ("OS").

ORPATHYS is being jointly developed by AstraZeneca and HUTCHMED and commercialized by AstraZeneca.

About NSCLC and MET aberrations
Lung cancer is the leading cause of death by cancer globally, accounting for almost one in four (23%) cancer deaths.1 Lung cancer is broadly split into NSCLC and small cell lung cancer, with 80-85% of patients diagnosed with NSCLC.2 Approximately 75% of NSCLC patients are diagnosed with advanced disease.3 Additionally, about 10-15% of NSCLC patients in the US and Europe, and 30-40% of patients in Asia, have EGFRm NSCLC.

MET is a tyrosine kinase receptor that has an essential role in normal cell development.7 MET overexpression or amplification can lead to tumor growth and the metastatic progression of cancer cells.

About SANOVO
SANOVO is a blinded, randomized, controlled Phase III study in previously untreated patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC with activating EGFR mutations and MET overexpression in China. The study evaluates the efficacy and safety of ORPATHYS in combination with TAGRISSO comparing to TAGRISSO alone, a standard-of-care treatment option for these patients. A total of 326 treatment-naïve patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC harboring EGFR mutations (exon 19 deletion or L858R) and MET overexpression were randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive TAGRISSO 80 mg once daily plus either ORPATHYS or placebo at 300/200 mg twice daily (dosed based on body weight).

The primary endpoint of the study is PFS as assessed by investigators. Other endpoints include PFS assessed by an independent review committee, OS, objective response rate (ORR), duration of response (DoR), disease control rate (DCR), time to response (TTR), and safety. Additional details may be found at clinicaltrials.gov, using identifier NCT05009836.

About ORPATHYS
ORPATHYS (savolitinib) is an oral, potent and highly selective MET TKI that has demonstrated clinical activity in advanced solid tumors. It blocks atypical activation of the MET receptor tyrosine kinase pathway that occurs because of mutations (such as exon 14 skipping alterations or other point mutations), gene amplification or protein overexpression.

ORPATHYS is approved in China for the treatment of adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC with MET exon 14 skipping alteration, representing the first selective MET inhibitor approved in China. ORPATHYS also received a conditional approval in China for the treatment of patients with locally advanced or metastatic gastric cancer or gastroesophageal junction (GC/GEJ) adenocarcinoma patients with MET amplification who have failed at least two prior systemic treatments. ORPATHYS in combination with TAGRISSO is approved in China for patients with locally advanced or metastatic EGFR mutation-positive non-squamous NSCLC with MET amplification after disease progression on EGFR TKI therapy based on the SACHI Phase III trial. The combination was also granted a temporary authorization in Switzerland for the treatment of patients with locally advanced or metastatic EGFRm NSCLC and high levels of MET overexpression or amplification who progressed on prior treatment with TAGRISSO. This was based on results from the global SAVANNAH Phase II trial. The global, randomized, SAFFRON Phase III trial in the same treatment setting comparing the combination with platinum-based chemotherapy, reported positive high-level results demonstrating a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in PFS and OS in August 2026.

About TAGRISSO
TAGRISSO (osimertinib) is a third-generation, irreversible EGFR-TKI with proven clinical activity in NSCLC, including the treatment of central nervous system metastases.

TAGRISSO is approved as monotherapy in more than 120 countries including the US, EU, China and Japan. Approved indications include for first-line treatment of patients with locally advanced or metastatic EGFRm NSCLC, locally advanced or metastatic EGFR T790M mutation-positive NSCLC, adjuvant treatment of early-stage EGFRm NSCLC and locally advanced, unresectable NSCLC following platinum-based chemoradiation therapy. TAGRISSO is also approved in combination with chemotherapy in more than 80 countries, including the US, EU, China and Japan, for first-line treatment of patients with locally advanced or metastatic EGFRm NSCLC.
