Cartesian Therapeutics Secures up to $150 Million of Non-Dilutive Financing from K2 HealthVentures and Expects Topline Data from the Phase 3 AURORA Trial in First Quarter 2027

On May 26, 2026 Cartesian Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: RNAC) (the "Company"), a clinical-stage biotechnology company pioneering cell therapy for autoimmune diseases, reported that it has entered into an agreement with K2 HealthVentures LLC ("K2HV"), an alternative investment firm that provides flexible, long-term financing solutions in life sciences, to provide a credit facility of up to $150 million including an initial $50 million tranche. The proceeds from the initial tranche under the credit facility are expected to allow the Company to accelerate the ongoing investment in the commercial launch preparation activities for Descartes-08 in myasthenia gravis (MG) and myositis and to extend cash runway into 2028. The Company also announced progress across its pipeline, including updated timelines for all ongoing trials of Descartes-08, an autologous anti-B cell maturation antigen (BCMA) mRNA chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy (CAR-T).

"We are very excited to partner with K2 HealthVentures for this financing, which we expect to provide us with access to the additional capital necessary to help support our continued growth. With this additional financing, we believe we are now fully funded beyond anticipated timelines for achievement of three near-term clinical catalysts, including topline data from our Phase 3 AURORA trial in MG in the first quarter of 2027, data from our Phase 2 TRITON trial in myositis and data from our Phase 1/2 HELIOS trial in JDM," said Carsten Brunn, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Cartesian. "Descartes-08 remains the only CAR-T in autoimmune disease that we are aware of that is designed for outpatient administration without preconditioning chemotherapy, and our prior data demonstrate deep and durable responses after a single course of therapy. We look forward to advancing Descartes-08 toward registration and commercial launch in MG."

Cash Runway and Credit Facility

Under the Company’s credit facility with K2HV, the first $50 million term loan was funded upon signing of the agreement. The second $25 million term loan is expected to be available to be drawn between January 1, 2027 and December 1, 2027, subject to the Company’s achievement of specified clinical and financing milestones and the third $25 million term loan is expected to be available to be drawn between January 1, 2028 and June 1, 2028, subject to the Company’s achievement of specified approval and sales milestones. An additional $50 million tranche is available for draw at Cartesian’s option subject K2 HealthVentures’ discretion. Morgan Stanley served as sole structuring agent for the transaction.

The Company now anticipates current cash resources to support planned operations into 2028, including three clinical data readouts and accelerated investment in precommercial activities.

Multiple Clinical Catalysts Expected over the Next 12 Months

Phase 3 AURORA data in MG expected in 1Q27; biologics license application (BLA) filing planned for mid-2027
Phase 2 TRITON data in myositis expected in 1H27
Phase 1/2 HELIOS data in juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM) expected in 1H27
Phase 3 AURORA Trial in MG

The Company anticipates reporting topline data from the Phase 3 AURORA trial in the first quarter of 2027 with BLA filing planned for mid-2027.
The randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial is designed to assess Descartes-08 versus placebo (1:1 randomization) administered as six once-weekly outpatient infusions without preconditioning chemotherapy in approximately 100 patients with acetylcholine receptor autoantibody positive (AChR Ab+) MG. The primary endpoint will assess the proportion of Descartes-08 participants with an improvement in MG Activities of Daily Living (MG-ADL) score of three points or more at Month 4 compared to placebo (a two-point reduction in MG-ADL is considered clinically meaningful).
In January 2026, the Company published a peer-reviewed journal article in Nature Medicine outlining the efficacy and safety data from the Phase 2b trial of Descartes-08 in participants with MG. After a single course of therapy, Descartes-08-treated participants were observed to sustain deep responses through long-term follow-up, with an average 4.8-point reduction in MG-ADL at Month 12. The deepest and most compelling sustained responses were observed in Descartes-08-treated participants who did not have prior exposure to biologic therapies, with an average 7.1-point reduction in MG-ADL and 57% of patients in this subgroup maintaining minimum symptom expression at Month 12. The safety profile of Descartes-08 was consistent with previously reported data and continues to support outpatient administration.
Phase 2 TRITON Trial in Myositis

Cartesian expects to evaluate clinical data from a subset of patients from the trial in the first half of 2027 to determine the path to a pivotal trial in these indications with significant unmet need.
The Phase 2 TRITON trial of Descartes-08 was initiated in April 2026, and enrollment continues to progress well. The randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in myositis is designed to assess Descartes-08 versus placebo (1:1 randomization) administered as six once-weekly outpatient infusions without preconditioning chemotherapy in patients with moderate to severe multi-refractory dermatomyositis and antisynthetase syndrome. The primary endpoint is expected to assess safety and efficacy of Descartes-08 compared to placebo added to standard of care in participants with myositis at Week 24.
Phase 1/2 HELIOS Trial in JDM

Clinical data from the Phase 1/2 HELIOS pediatric trial is expected in the first half of 2027.
The Phase 1/2 HELIOS trial of Descartes-08 in JDM was initiated in January 2026 and is designed to assess the safety, tolerability and efficacy of Descartes-08 in children, adolescents and young adults with childhood-onset autoimmune diseases, including JDM. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) previously granted Rare Pediatric Disease Designation to Descartes-08 for the treatment of JDM.
Corporate Updates

Chief Medical Officer (CMO), Miloš Miljković, has informed the Company that he intends to step down from his role for personal reasons to return to practicing medicine. Dr. Miljković has helped support the development of both Descartes-08 and Cartesian through the Company’s transition from an early-stage research and development company to a late-stage clinical company.

Peter Traber, MD, Cartesian’s Head of R&D, who assisted in directing the Company’s clinical trials over the past year, is expected to continue supporting Cartesian through the full completion of the Company’s ongoing clinical trials and the preparation for BLA filing of Descartes-08 in MG in mid-2027. Dr. Traber brings more than three decades of leadership spanning academic medicine and biotechnology. He previously served as CMO of Selecta Biosciences, CEO of Galectin Therapeutics and CMO at GlaxoSmithKline. In previous academic roles, he served as the President of the Baylor College of Medicine and Chairman of Medicine and CEO of the University of Pennsylvania Health System.

About Descartes-08

Descartes-08, Cartesian’s lead cell therapy candidate, is an autologous CAR-T product targeting BCMA in clinical development for generalized MG and myositis, specifically dermatomyositis and antisynthetase syndrome. In contrast to conventional DNA-based CAR T-cell therapies, Cartesian’s CAR-T administration is designed to not require preconditioning chemotherapy, can be administered in the outpatient setting, and does not carry the risk of genomic integration associated with cancerous transformation. Descartes-08 has been granted Orphan Drug Designation and Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy Designation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of MG, and Rare Pediatric Disease Designation for the treatment of juvenile dermatomyositis.

"We are very pleased to partner with Bayer to explore the combination of OP-3136 with darolutamide in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, which is an aggressive disease characterized by poor clinical outcomes," said Sean P. Bohen, M.D., Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Olema Oncology. "This agreement represents the first clinical collaboration for OP-3136 and builds upon our ongoing Phase 1/2 study of this novel KAT6 inhibitor as a monotherapy in multiple solid tumor types and in combination with fulvestrant and palazestrant in ER+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer. We look forward to advancing OP-3136 in combination with darolutamide in the clinic as we work to bring better medicines to patients living with cancer."

Under the terms of the agreement, Bayer will supply darolutamide for use in the Phase 1b/2 study and Olema will lead the conduct of the study. All clinical data and inventions related to the combined use of OP-3136 and darolutamide will be jointly owned. Olema will maintain full global commercial and marketing rights to OP-3136.

As previously announced, Olema will present initial clinical data from the Phase 1 study of OP-3136 in a poster presentation on May 30, 2026 at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) (Free ASCO Whitepaper) Annual Meeting in Chicago, Illinois.

"During the first quarter of 2026, we continued to execute with financial discipline while supporting the advancement of our clinical and regulatory priorities. The drawdown of EIB Tranche B, combined with ongoing operational optimization, has extended our cash runway into November 2026 supporting the upcoming regulatory steps, including the planned re-examination of the Marketing Authorization Application for MaaT013 (Xervyteg)," stated Eric Soyer, CFO of MaaT Pharma.

Pipeline highlights

In Hemato-Oncology

Acute Graft-versus-Host Disease (aGvHD) – MaaT013 (Xervyteg)

In January 2026, MaaT Pharma transitioned the Early Access Program in Europe to Clinigen, allowing MaaT Pharma to leverage the infrastructure of Clinigen and start expanding patient access. The Company has treated approximately 230+ patients under the Early Access Program in 13 different countries to date, and data from the EAP has been presented at major medical congresses.
In March 2026, during the EBMT 2026 annual congress:
The final results of the ARES pivotal trial evaluating MaaT013 (Xervyteg) in aGvHD were presented during an oral presentation during the presidential symposium at EBMT 2026 Annual Congress on March 23, 2026.
MaaT Pharma‘s strategic partner Clinigen hosted a dedicated Industry Symposium on advancing care for steroid-refractory gastrointestinal aGvHD, in the context of the transition in January 2026 of the EAP program to Clinigen, and the ongoing commercial readiness activities, subject to the marketing approval of MaaT013 (Xervyteg).
The Company also presented results from the CHRONOS study, one of the largest real-world studies including refractory GI-aGvHD patients (n=59) treated with third-line best available treatments other than microbiome-based therapy, and announced publication in April 2026 of those retrospective data in Bone Marrow Transplantation Journal. Results from CHRONOS included 29% 12-month overall survival and 37% Day-28 GI-overall response rate, thus supporting the urgent need for new therapeutic options in this indication.
MaaT013 (Xervyteg) Regulatory Plan:
As a post period event, MaaT Pharma announced in May 2026 that during the Oral Explanation with EMA’s CHMP, the Company was informed of a "negative trend" in relation with the upcoming June 2026 CHMP vote. Subject to the formal vote at the June 2026 CHMP meeting, the Company intends to request a re-examination of the application.
As previously announced, the U.S. development plan remains underway, with no material cash impact, to ensure a potential launch in a timely manner of the future clinical study in the U.S, subject to appropriate funding and regulatory, clinical, and operational readiness.
Additionally, the Company continues to expand its U.S. footprint through its EAP, with recurring patient requests from leading hospitals such as City of Hope (Duarte- Los Angeles, CA), Massachusetts General Hospital (Boston, MA), the University of Alabama Hospital (Birmingham, AL), Miami Cancer Institute (Miami, FL), Chicago Medical Center (Chicago, IL) and Advocate Lutheran Hospital (Park Ridge, IL).

Allogenic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant (allo-HSCT) – MaaT033

In January 2026, as a post period event, a third routine evaluation was conducted and reconfirmed the favorable safety profile of MaaT033 in this trial. The Phase 2 PHOEBUS trial is ongoing and is potentially pivotal in Europe. Topline results (1-year overall survival) are expected in Q4 2028.
In March 2026, the Company presented a poster of the PHOEBUS Phase 2 trial during the EBMT 2026 annual congress, detailing the design and the favorable safety profile confirmed by the 5 DSMBs assessments since 2025.

In Immuno-Oncology

MaaT034 – Next-generation drug candidates with co-cultured technology

In 2026, the Company is focusing on GMP batch production and regulatory readiness and targets to initiate a First-in- Human trial in 2027, subject to appropriate funding, with a development strategy that will place a particular focus on the U.S. market.
In January 2026, MaaT Pharma announced that the first patient was randomized in the IMMUNOLIFE trial evaluating the potential of MaaT033 in combination with Regeneron’s Cemiplimab in enhancing disease control rate versus best investigator’s choice in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have developed resistance to PD-1/PD-L1 blockade following antibiotic (ATB) exposure and who present ATB-induced gut dysbiosis. The Company was also informed by PICASSO’s academic sponsor that topline results could be expected in H1 2026. However, the timing remains subject to the sponsor’s discretion and the Company has no control over the study results communication timelines. The PICASSO expected data are intended to provide complementary insights only and do not directly impact MaaT034’s development strategy.

Cash position[1]

As of March 31, 2026, total cash and cash equivalents were EUR 18.1 million (as compared to EUR 24.9 million as of December 31, 2025), not including the drawdown in April 2026 of Tranche B (EUR 6 million) of the European Investment Bank (EIB) loan financing.
The Company has taken cash management measures to extend its financial visibility into November 2026 (vs August 2026), covering the upcoming regulatory milestones including the re-examination process, while continuing to advance its pipeline.

Revenues in Q1 20261

MaaT Pharma reported revenues of EUR 0.8 million for the first quarter of 2026 (reported EAP revenues were EUR 1.1 million for the same period of 2025).
Since January 2026 and the transition to the EAP program to Clinigen, MaaT Pharma is now selling the product to Clinigen, which then supplies hospitals in Europe. As a result, revenues generated by the Company are now based on the financial terms of the licensing agreement. Consequently, the net income reported by MaaT Pharma in Q1 2026, based on transfer price and royalties, was EUR 0.8 million, and would have been EUR 1.3 million pre-transition.
The slight decrease in reported revenues was therefore mostly attributable to the change in revenue accounting. On a same like-for-like basis, revenues generated by MaaT013 (Xervyteg) in Q1 2026 reflected a 19% increase year-over-year, underlining the sustained demand for the product.
