"We are approaching an important clinical milestone with the expected readout in the coming weeks from the investigator-sponsored study at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, an institution with whom we’ve collaborated for over a decade, evaluating SER-155 in immune checkpoint inhibitor-related enterocolitis (irEC)," said Richard Kender, Executive Chair and interim Chief Executive Officer of Seres. "irEC is a serious condition which represents a meaningful therapeutic and commercial opportunity, and with positive data we will evaluate potential development pathways and adjacent expansion opportunities. In parallel, we are advancing our inflammatory and immunology portfolio, including SER-603 for inflammatory bowel disease, with IND-enabling work progressing. We have achieved Phase 2 readiness for SER-155 for the prevention of bloodstream infections in patients undergoing allo-HSCT for the treatment of blood cancer and are seeking funding to commence the study. We are continuing disciplined capital allocation while actively pursuing partnerships and other financing sources to support Seres’ pipeline advancement and long-term value creation."

Recent Highlights


As highlighted in recent press releases from February and March, Seres is prioritizing its emerging live biotherapeutic programs in inflammatory & immune (I&I) diseases, including SER-155 for immune checkpoint-related enterocolitis (irEC) and SER-603 for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).


Seres is collaborating with Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center on an investigator-sponsored trial evaluating SER-155 in participants with irEC. irEC is among the most frequent and severe immune-related adverse events (irAEs) in recipients of immune checkpoint-inhibitor therapy and can be observed in up to 50% of patients, with rates varying based on cancer drug and treatment regimen. Study enrollment is complete, with 15 patients enrolled, and clinical data are expected in the coming weeks. Positive data from this IST could further inform the expansion of indications well-suited to Seres’ live biotherapeutic approach.


The Company continues to advance its preclinical stage live biotherapeutic product candidates, including SER-603. The Company is conducting IND-enabling activities for SER-603 and is engaging potential collaborators to support the clinical advancement of this program as a mono and/or combination therapy for IBD.


In May, Seres presented new preclinical data supporting the design and potential of SER-603 at Digestive Disease Week (DDW). The Company’s poster, titled "The Rational Design of SER-603: A Next Generation Cultivated Microbial Consortia to Treat IBD," which was selected as a DDW ‘Poster of Distinction,’ highlights Seres’ integrated approach to the design of microbiome therapeutics, combining rational strain selection and a novel biomarker-driven patient stratification.


In May, Seres’ management will be attending Memorial Sloan Kettering’s (MSK) Innovation with Lasting Impact Summit which this year focuses on "Drug Discovery & Development and MSK" and will be presenting, along with Dr. Jonathan (Tsoni) Peled an oncologist at MSK specializing in bone marrow transplantation for blood cancers, on Seres’ decade-long research and clinical development collaboration with MSK.


SER-155 is Phase 2 ready for the prevention of serious bloodstream infections in patients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplants (allo-HSCT) for the treatment of blood cancer, and efforts to secure funding to advance clinical development for this program continue.


Supported by a grant from CARB-X (Combating Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria Biopharmaceutical Accelerator), a global nonprofit partnership accelerating the development of new antibacterial products to address drug-resistant bacteria, Seres is progressing development of an oral liquid formulation based on SER-155 strains, referred to as SER-428, for dosing in patients who cannot take oral capsules such as intubated patients in the medical ICU, and other medically vulnerable patients at high risk of AMR infections. Seres has advanced manufacturing of SER-428 and is designing a Phase 1b open label trial, in collaboration with Dr. Dan Freedberg at Columbia University, to evaluate this therapeutic candidate in medical ICU patients at high risk of infection.


The Company attended the ESCMID Global Conference in April and presented a poster highlighting biomarker and clinical pharmacology data from the Company’s SER-155 Phase 1b study in allo-HSCT. Data showed that administration of SER-155 induced a significant and durable shift in gastrointestinal (GI) microbiome composition relative to placebo, characterized by high relative abundance of SER-155 species. This shift is associated with improved GI epithelial barrier integrity that could reduce the likelihood of bacterial translocation from the GI to the bloodstream. These pharmacology results are consistent with the intended SER-155 mechanisms of action as well as the observation of significantly lower bloodstream infection incidence (77% relative risk reduction) post allo-HSCT in SER-155-administered participants in Seres’ Phase 1b study.


In January, the Company announced the publication of manuscripts in Nature Medicine and the Journal of Infectious Diseases, highlighting new insights into the functional mechanism and clinical impact of VOWST, which was developed by Seres and sold to Nestlé Health Science (Nestlé) in 2024. These publications further inform the continued development of Seres’ next-generation live biotherapeutics pipeline.

Financial Results


Net loss was $19.9 million for the first quarter of 2026, compared to net income of $32.7 million for the same period in 2025. Contributing to the net income in the first quarter of 2025 was a $50 million installment payment received from Nestlé, related to certain transition services following the sale of VOWST and $6.3 million in reimbursements from Nestlé for the costs of those services. Operating expenses were approximately $6 million lower in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2025.


Research and development expenses were $13.2 million for the first quarter of 2026, compared with $11.8 million for the same period in 2025, primarily due to higher facilities and manufacturing-related costs that in 2025 were partially reimbursed by Nestlé under the transition services agreement (TSA), partially offset by lower personnel-related expenses.


General and administrative expenses were $8.1 million for the first quarter of 2026, compared with $11.9 million for the same period in 2025, reflecting lower personnel and professional services costs, and a reduction in IT costs, including those related to services provided under the TSA.


There were no manufacturing services expenses in the first quarter of 2026, compared with $3.5 million in the first quarter of 2025, as the Company completed such services, provided under the TSA, at the end of 2025.

Cash and Cash Runway

As of March 31, 2026, Seres had $29.8 million in cash and cash equivalents. Based on Seres’ current cash position and operating plans, the Company expects to fund operations through the third quarter of 2026. The Company continues to evaluate opportunities to extend its cash runway.

Sensei Biotherapeutics Doses First Patient in Phase 1b/2 Trial of PIKTOR in HR+/HER2- Advanced Breast Cancer

On May 5, 2026 Sensei Biotherapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNSE), a clinical-stage biotechnology company, reported that the first patient was dosed in Study FTH-PIK-101 (NCT07558733), a Phase 1b/2 trial of PIKTOR in patients with HR+/HER2- advanced breast cancer. PIKTOR, an investigational, all-oral combination of serabelisib and sapanisertib, is designed to inhibit multiple nodes of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway through PI3K-alpha and dual mTORC1/2 targeting, and became Sensei’s lead program after the company acquired Faeth Therapeutics in February 2026.

Patients with HR+/HER2- advanced breast cancer whose tumors stop responding to current therapies have few effective options, particularly when their cancer is driven by the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway, a network of growth and survival signals that is altered in approximately half of HR+/HER2- cases.¹ Study FTH-PIK-101, titled "Open-Label Umbrella Study to Evaluate Safety and Efficacy of Sapanisertib and Serabelisib (PIKTOR) in Various Combinations in Patients with HR+/HER2- Advanced or Metastatic Breast Cancer," is evaluating PIKTOR across HR+/HER2-advanced breast cancer patients, regardless of mutational status.

The study is a multi-center, dose-escalation Phase 1b/2 trial evaluating sapanisertib and serabelisib (PIKTOR) in combination with fulvestrant and/or other anticancer therapies in patients with HR+/HER2- advanced or metastatic breast cancer.

Approved drugs that target this pathway each block only one component, which often allows the cancer to reroute its growth signals through the parts that remain active. PIKTOR takes a different approach, combining two oral drugs, serabelisib (which blocks PI3K-alpha) and sapanisertib (which blocks mTORC1 and mTORC2), to target multiple nodes of the pathway simultaneously.

PIKTOR has already been tested in cancer patients. In a completed investigator-initiated Phase 1b study (NCT03154294), patients with advanced breast, endometrial and ovarian tumors who had failed an average of four prior treatments and were largely out of standard options received PIKTOR plus paclitaxel. Nearly half responded (47% overall response rate, n=15). Among patients whose tumors carried PI3K pathway mutations, 71% responded. Three patients had complete responses, all in endometrial cancer.² Sapanisertib in combination with fulvestrant has also shown activity in HR+/HER2- advanced breast cancer in an earlier Phase 2 study.³

"In our earlier trial, patients who had exhausted multiple lines of therapy, including chemotherapy, responded to the PIKTOR plus paclitaxel combination, and several had complete responses," said Anand Parikh, Chief Operating Officer of Sensei Biotherapeutics. "PIK-101 now takes that same oral combination into breast cancer, where a large share of tumors carry the pathway alterations that PIKTOR is designed to target."

As part of its broader clinical development program for PIKTOR, Sensei is also conducting Study FTH-PIK-201, an ongoing multicenter, open-label, single-arm Phase 2 study (n≈40) in patients with advanced endometrial cancer.

"Rigel entered 2026 with continued year-over-year growth from our commercial portfolio and financial discipline, driving another quarter of profitability. We are operating from a position of financial strength with a solid cash balance that can fund our development plans and allows for financial flexibility to pursue potential in-license opportunities," said Raul Rodriguez, Rigel’s president and CEO. "During the first quarter we also continued to advance our development pipeline, including our ongoing Phase 1b study of R289 in patients with lower-risk MDS, which may be a transformational opportunity for Rigel."

First Quarter 2026 Business Update

Commercial

First quarter net product sales were $54.9 million, an increase of 26% from the same period of 2025.
Corporate

In February, Michael P. Miller joined Rigel’s Board of Directors as an independent director and member of the Compensation Committee.
In April, Rigel received notification from Eli Lilly and Company that it will terminate the collaboration agreement with Rigel, which included the development of ocadusertib (previously R552 or LY3871801), an investigational, potent and selective receptor-interacting protein kinase 1 (RIPK1) inhibitor. The termination will become effective on June 15, 2026.
In early May, Rigel restructured its credit relationship with MidCap Financial to replace its existing term loan credit facility with a revolving credit facility for $40.0 million, with an option to increase to $60.0 million, subject to customary conditions. As part of the transaction, Rigel repaid the remaining outstanding term loan balance of $40.0 million and drew down $8.0 million on the new revolving credit facility.
Clinical Development

Rigel continues to advance its Phase 1b clinical study evaluating the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary efficacy of R2891, a potent and selective dual inhibitor of interleukin receptor-associated kinases 1 and 4 (IRAK1/4), in patients with relapsed or refractory (R/R) lower-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Enrollment in the dose expansion phase of the study is ongoing.
Rigel is on track to complete enrollment of the dose expansion phase of the Phase 1b study and select the recommended Phase 2 dose for future clinical studies in the second half of 2026. The company anticipates sharing preliminary data from the dose expansion phase of the study by the end of 2026.
The first data release for pralsetinib from the TAPISTRY study (NCT04589845) was presented in a poster presentation at the 2026 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) (Free ASCO Whitepaper) – Gastrointestinal Cancers Symposium (ASCO-GI) in January. The analysis reported results from the Phase 2 global, open-label, multicohort study, in which the efficacy and safety of pralsetinib was evaluated in a cohort of patients with rearranged during transfection (RET) fusion-positive solid tumors, including pancreatic, colorectal, and hepatobiliary cancers. Pralsetinib demonstrated robust and durable activity against RET fusion-positive solid tumors, including gastrointestinal (GI) tumors, and in the efficacy evaluable population showed an overall response rate (ORR) of 67% (26/39). These data supports RET fusions as a tissue-agnostic target with sensitivity to RET inhibition, suggesting the potential therapeutic utility of pralsetinib in these patients.
Key Publications

A paper titled "Matching-Adjusted Indirect Comparison of Olutasidenib and Ivosidenib in Isocitrate Dehydrogenase 1-Mutated Relapsed/Refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia," was published in Advances in Therapy in February. The publication analysis used a well-accepted methodology called matching-adjusted indirect comparison (MAIC), which adjusts for between study differences in baseline characteristics to better estimate comparative efficacy. The analysis suggests that olutasidenib and ivosidenib achieve similar response rates in R/R isocitrate dehydrogenase-1 (IDH1)-mutated acute myeloid leukemia (AML), but responses achieved with olutasidenib may be more durable. The longer duration of complete remission (CR) plus CR with partial hematologic recovery (CR+CRh) observed with olutasidenib may be clinically meaningful in a setting where sustained remissions are difficult to achieve. While indirect and non-confirmatory, these findings may provide important comparative context for clinicians, medical affairs, and health-policy stakeholders in the absence of head-to-head data.
A paper titled "Final Efficacy and Safety Data From the Phase 1/2 ARROW Study of Pralsetinib in Patients With Advanced RET Fusion-Positive Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)," was published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology in March. The publication reports the final data from the registrational trial evaluating pralsetinib for the treatment of patients with metastatic RET fusion-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The final data, which includes an additional 42 months of follow-up from data previously published, further support the robust, durable responses with a manageable toxicity profile seen in patients with RET fusion-positive NSCLC, and are consistent with previous reports from the ARROW study NSCLC cohort.
First Quarter 2026 Financial Update
For the first quarter ended March 31, 2026, total revenues were $58.8 million, consisting of $54.9 million in net product sales and $3.9 million in contract revenues from collaborations. Net product sales increased 26% compared to $43.6 million in the same period of 2025. TAVALISSE net product sales were $37.3 million, an increase of 31% compared to $28.5 million in the same period of 2025. GAVRETO net product sales were $9.6 million, an increase of 7% compared to $9.0 million in the same period of 2025. REZLIDHIA net product sales were $8.0 million, an increase of 31% compared to $6.1 million in the same period of 2025. Contract revenues from collaborations primarily consisted of $1.8 million of revenue from Grifols S.A. related to earned royalties, $1.8 million of revenue from Kissei Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. related to delivery of drug supplies and $0.3 million of revenue from Medison Pharma related to earned royalties and delivery of drug supplies. Contract revenues from collaborations in the prior year period included a one-time $3.0 million regulatory milestone in connection with the approval of TAVALISSE in the Republic of Korea.

Total costs and expenses were $46.9 million compared to $40.6 million for the same period of 2025. The increase in costs and expenses was primarily driven by increased research and development costs driven by the timing of clinical activities, including continued progress in our R289 program, as well as increased commercial-related expenses and personnel-related costs.

Income before income taxes was $11.7 million.

Rigel reported net income of $8.7 million, or $0.47 basic and $0.44 diluted per share, compared to $11.4 million, or $0.64 basic and $0.63 diluted per share, for the same period of 2025.

Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments as of March 31, 2026 was $146.7 million, compared to $155.0 million as of December 31, 2025.

2026 Outlook
Rigel reaffirms its 2026 total revenues guidance of approximately $275 to $290 million, including:

Net product sales of approximately $255 to $265 million.
Contract revenues of approximately $20 to $25 million.
The company also continues to anticipate it will report positive net income for the full year 2026, while funding existing and new clinical development programs.

About ITP
In patients with immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), the immune system attacks and destroys the body’s own blood platelets, which play an active role in blood clotting and healing. Common symptoms of ITP are excessive bruising and bleeding. Patients suffering with chronic ITP may live with an increased risk of severe bleeding events that can result in serious medical complications or even death. Current therapies for ITP include steroids, blood platelet production boosters (TPO-RAs), and splenectomy. However, not all patients respond to existing therapies. As a result, there remains a significant medical need for additional treatment options for patients with ITP.

About NSCLC
It is estimated that over 229,000 adults in the U.S. will be diagnosed with lung cancer in 2026. Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the U.S., with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) being the most common type accounting for 77% of all lung cancer diagnoses.2 RET fusions are implicated in approximately 1-2% of patients with NSCLC.3

About AML
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a rapidly progressing cancer of the blood and bone marrow that affects myeloid cells, which normally develop into various types of mature blood cells. AML occurs primarily in adults and accounts for about 1 percent of all adult cancers. The American Cancer Society estimates that there will be about 22,720 new cases in the United States, most in adults, in 2026.4

Relapsed AML affects about half of all patients who, following treatment and remission, experience a return of leukemia cells in the bone marrow. 5,6 Refractory AML, which affects between 10 and 40 percent of newly diagnosed patients, occurs when a patient fails to achieve remission even after intensive treatment.7 Quality of life declines for patients with each successive line of treatment for AML, and well-tolerated treatments in relapsed or refractory disease remain an unmet need.

About TAVALISSE
TAVALISSE (fostamatinib disodium hexahydrate) tablets is indicated for the treatment of thrombocytopenia in adult patients with chronic immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) who have had an insufficient response to a previous treatment.

About NDV-01

NDV-01 is a sustained-release, intravesical formulation of gemcitabine and docetaxel (Gem/Doce), in development for the treatment of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. It is designed to enable Gem/Doce bladder retention and gradual drug release over 10 days. The formulation creates a soft matrix that enhances local exposure while minimizing systemic toxicity. The NDV-01 formulation is ready to use, convenient to administer in-office in less than 5 minutes and does not require anesthesia or specialized equipment. It is protected by patents through 2038.

About the Phase 2 Study

The Phase 2 study (NCT06663137) is an open-label, single-arm, single-center study evaluating the safety and efficacy of NDV-01 in patients with high-grade non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (HG-NMIBC). Patients are treated with NDV-01 in a biweekly induction phase, followed by monthly maintenance for up to one year, with regular assessments via cystoscopy, cytology, and biopsy, as indicated. The primary efficacy endpoints are safety and complete response rate (CRR) at 12 months, and secondary efficacy endpoints are duration of response (DOR) and event free survival (EFS).

About NMIBC

NMIBC represents 75-80% of all bladder cancer cases and is associated with high recurrence (50 – 80% over 5 years). With over 744,000 prevalent cases in the U.S. and limited treatment options, the market opportunity is significant. High-grade BCG-unresponsive disease represents one of the most difficult-to-treat NMIBC subtypes, with limited bladder-sparing options. Intermediate-risk NMIBC in the adjuvant setting has no currently approved therapies. NDV-01 has the potential to serve as a frontline or salvage therapy and could be applicable across multiple NMIBC subtypes.
