Alessandro Riva, MD, Chairman and CEO of Transgene, commented, "In 2025, we achieved important clinical progress with TG4050, the first product based on myvac, our individualized neoantigen therapeutic vaccine platform. The positive randomized Phase 1 results, which demonstrated durable disease-free survival and persisting neoantigen-specific immune responses in early-stage head and neck cancer, strengthen our confidence in its transformative potential for patients. All Phase 2 patients are close to being randomized , with the primary endpoint being two-year disease-free survival. In parallel, we are preparing a new Phase 1 trial in a second indication in an early treatment setting, reflecting our strategy to expand the clinical evaluation of myvac across operable solid tumors where significant unmet medical need remains.
"Together with the updated Phase 1 results for BT-001 presented at ESMO (Free ESMO Whitepaper) 2025, which support the program’s next development steps, and the successful fundraising completed at the end of 2025, we are well positioned to deliver key milestones while maintaining financial visibility. This strengthened position allows us to confidently advance our innovative pipeline in our mission to bring meaningful benefits to patients and reshape early‑stage cancer treatment with individualized neoantigen therapeutic vaccines."

TG4050: Data support TG4050’s potential role in preventing cancer relapse

Our individualized neoantigen therapeutic vaccine (INTV) TG4050 is currently under evaluation in a randomized multicenter Phase 1/2 clinical trial (NCT04183166), as a single agent in the adjuvant treatment of HPV-negative head and neck cancer (head and neck squamous cell carcinoma or HNSCC).

ASCO 2025: TG4050 meets all Phase 1 endpoints, with 100% disease-free survival (DFS) after more than 2 years of follow-up

Transgene presented positive data from the randomized Phase 1 part of the ongoing international Phase 1/2 trial in an oral presentation at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) (Free ASCO Whitepaper) (ASCO 2025) Annual Meeting (see press release). All patients who received TG4050 remained disease-free for at least 2-years (median follow-up: 30 months).

The results successfully met all trial endpoints (including safety, tolerability and feasibility).

Compelling translational findings from Phase 1 in TG4050-treated patients confirm durable, neoantigen-specific T-cell responses

Immunogenicity data presented at the 2025 Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer (SITC) (Free SITC Whitepaper) Annual Meeting in November 2025 (see press release), confirmed clinical proof of principle for TG4050. This includes the ability to induce neoantigen-specific cytotoxic CD8+ T cell responses capable of targeting and eliminating tumor cells, thereby contributing to the prevention of cancer relapse.
Translational data presented at SITC (Free SITC Whitepaper) 2025 showed that TG4050 induced neoantigen-specific T cell responses in the majority of treated patients (73% of 15 evaluable patients). These responses were durable (persisting 24 months after the start of treatment), with cytotoxic and effector phenotype markers expressed up to one year after the end of treatment.
A comprehensive analysis of the clinical and translational data from the Phase 1 part of the randomized Phase 1/2 trial of INTV-TG4050 was published on the preprint platform medRxiv2, in January 2026 (see press release). The article is under review by a peer-reviewed journal.

End of randomization in Phase 2 part close to being completed in the coming weeks – Next clinical readout expected 2 years following completion of randomization

The randomized Phase 2 part of the study for adjuvant HNSCC is nearly completed.
The primary endpoint of the trial is 2-year disease-free survival (DFS). This will be as soon as all patients achieve 2-year follow-up from randomization unless an event (relapse, death or lost to follow-up) occurs earlier.

3-year disease-free survival (DFS) follow-up for all patients is expected in Q2/Q3 2026.

myvac platform: Potential to reduce the risk of relapse across multiple operable solid tumor types

Transgene’s INTV platform, myvac, could improve treatment across a range of solid tumors where in many cases a significant unmet medical need remains. In parallel with the ongoing Phase 1/2 trial in HNSCC, Transgene has begun start-up activities for a new Phase 1 trial in a second indication in an early treatment setting, with the aim of initiating later in 2026.

Transgene is also optimizing its manufacturing processes and capabilities to prepare for a potential pivotal clinical trial.

VacDesignR: Transgene’s proprietary bioinformatics engine for cancer mutation selection and vector optimization

A poster on Transgene’s proprietary VacDesignR computational tool was presented at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) (Free ESMO Whitepaper) AI & Digital Oncology 2025 conference. Developed in-house, VacDesignR is a computational design engine that optimizes recombinant plasmid architecture for Modified Vaccinia Ankara (MVA) vectors, a core component of Transgene’s myvac platform. By minimizing unwanted homologous recombination and intelligently selecting peptide sequences for cassette assembly among targets that have previously been identified as potentially immunogenic, VacDesignR significantly improves production reliability and vector quality.

BT-001 (oncolytic virus for intratumoral administration): Updated Phase 1/2 data presented at ESMO (Free ESMO Whitepaper) 2025 demonstrated positive antitumoral activity

Transgene and partner BioInvent presented a poster on updated clinical results showing the positive antitumoral activity of BT-001 in patients with advanced refractory tumors at the ESMO (Free ESMO Whitepaper) Annual Meeting – see press release.

These updated data from the Phase 1 trial (NCT04725331) evaluating BT-001 in combination with MSD’s (Merck & Co., Inc., Rahway, NJ, USA) anti-PD-1 therapy, KEYTRUDA (pembrolizumab)3 showed positive local, abscopal and sustained antitumoral activity in injected and non-injected lesions. Immune-mediated tumor shrinkage is consistent with the mechanistic hypothesis that BT-001, in combination with pembrolizumab, turns "cold" tumors into immunologically active or "hot" ones – see poster.

The data support further clinical development of BT-001.

Governance: recent additions to leadership team to further accelerate the development of the myvac platform

In April 2025, Simone Steiner joined Transgene as Chief Technical Officer (CTO) and member of the Executive committee.

In February 2026, Feriel Marin was appointed Chief Quality Officer ad interim. As of April 1, 2026, Sandrine Lemius will become Deputy CEO – Responsible Pharmacist ad interim.
They temporarily join the Executive committee following the retirement of Christophe Ancel, and will remain in these roles until the appointment of his successor.

In addition, in July 2025, the Board of Directors appointed a new independent director, Emmanuelle Quilès (see press release).

Karyopharm’s Phase 3 SENTRY Trial in Myelofibrosis Met First Co-Primary Endpoint, Demonstrating Statistically Significant Improvement in Spleen Volume Reduction

On March 24, 2026 Karyopharm Therapeutics Inc. (Nasdaq: KPTI), a commercial-stage pharmaceutical company pioneering novel cancer therapies, reported topline results from its Phase 3 SENTRY trial, a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of 60 mg selinexor in combination with ruxolitinib in frontline myelofibrosis (n=353). The trial met the first co-primary endpoint, demonstrating statistically significant improvement in spleen volume reduction of 35% or more (SVR35) for patients treated with the combination of selinexor plus ruxolitinib, with rapid, deep and sustained spleen volume reduction rates seen in the combination arm. The mean change in absolute total symptom score (Abs-TSS) at week 24 relative to baseline was comparable across the two arms with similar symptom improvement relative to baseline; the difference across the two arms was not statistically significant. Importantly, the topline results suggest a promising signal in overall survival (OS) for the combination arm.

Spleen Volume: 50% of patients who received the combination of selinexor plus ruxolitinib achieved a statistically significant improvement in SVR35 at week 24 compared to 28% of patients who received ruxolitinib alone (one-sided p<0.0001). Patients on the combination achieved rapid spleen reduction with 49% already achieving SVR35 at week 12 compared to 20% who received ruxolitinib alone. Spleen volume reduction was sustained, with 47% of patients on the combination achieving SVR35 at week 36 compared to 23% who received ruxolitinib alone.

Symptoms: Similar symptom improvement from baseline was observed in patients who received the combination of selinexor plus ruxolitinib compared to ruxolitinib alone as measured by Abs-TSS at week 24. Patients who received the combination reported a 9.89 point improvement in Abs-TSS compared to a 10.86 point improvement in patients who received ruxolitinib alone.

Overall Survival: Promising OS signal was observed in patients who received the combination of selinexor plus ruxolitinib compared to ruxolitinib alone with a hazard ratio of 0.43 (95% CI [0.19, 1.00] nominal one-sided p=0.0222). The Company intends to continue to follow OS to maturity to further evaluate this signal.

Overall Survival Associated with SVR35: Post-hoc landmark analyses at weeks 12 and 24 suggest SVR35 may predict overall survival.

Variant Allele Frequency (VAF) Reduction: Evidence of potential disease modification from a pre-specified exploratory endpoint was observed at week 24 from baseline in the combination arm as 32% of patients who received the combination achieved a ≥20% reduction in VAF for JAK2, MPL, and CALR compared to 24% of patients who received ruxolitinib alone (n=261).

Other Secondary and Exploratory Endpoints: Across other secondary and exploratory endpoints of progression-free survival, hemoglobin stabilization, and bone marrow fibrosis improvement, no meaningful difference was observed between the trial arms as of the data cut-off of February 20, 2026. The Company intends to further evaluate these endpoints as they mature.
Patients were randomized 2:1 to 60 mg of selinexor once weekly plus ruxolitinib or placebo plus ruxolitinib. The ruxolitinib dose was determined based on the patients’ baseline platelet count per the drug’s prescribing information. All data presented are as of the data cut-off of February 20, 2026.

"The results from SENTRY are an important development for patients as the combination of selinexor plus ruxolitinib meaningfully improved spleen response and we observed a promising signal in overall survival. Reducing spleen volume remains one of the most important treatment goals in myelofibrosis since achieving SVR35 is associated with improvement in overall survival," said Dr. John Mascarenhas, Professor of Medicine at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and Director of the Center of Excellence for Blood Cancers and Myeloid Disorders. "While the symptom endpoint did not reach statistical significance, patients treated in both arms achieved similar symptom improvement relative to baseline. Importantly, while JAK inhibitors have been the backbone of therapy, continued progress requires new therapies that target additional biological pathways. Inhibition of XPO1 represents a differentiated mechanism that has the potential to address these pathways and evolve treatment beyond JAK inhibition alone."

"For patients with myelofibrosis, improvements in spleen and symptoms are expected outcomes from JAK inhibitors such as ruxolitinib. The SENTRY topline results suggest that the combination of selinexor and ruxolitinib delivers superior spleen reduction, which may predict overall survival, while offering similar symptom improvement, and may offer an important advance for our patients," said Dr. Claire Harrison, Professor of Myeloproliferative Neoplasms and Deputy Chief Medical Officer of Research, Data, and Analytics at Guy’s and St. Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust in the United Kingdom.

"Selinexor’s differentiated mechanism provides a complementary approach to JAK inhibition and highlights the importance of targeting additional biological pathways beyond JAK signaling to further advance outcomes for patients with myelofibrosis. I am encouraged by the speed and magnitude of spleen response, and the promising overall survival signal and evidence of potential disease modification. In totality, these data underscore selinexor’s potential to meaningfully improve clinical outcomes for patients with myelofibrosis," said Reshma Rangwala, MD, PhD, Chief Medical Officer and Head of Research of Karyopharm. "On behalf of Karyopharm, I would like to thank the patients, families, caregivers, investigators, and clinical trial team who participated in this trial. We are excited to share our results with regulatory authorities, key opinion leaders and patient advocacy organizations."

"The myelofibrosis community is waiting for new treatment options that can build upon the benefit of JAK inhibitors. Improving overall survival is the ultimate goal for people living with myelofibrosis and I am incredibly encouraged by these results," said Kapila Viges, Chief Executive Officer of the MPN Research Foundation. "These results are an exciting development for the myelofibrosis community."

Safety and Tolerability

The combination demonstrated a manageable safety and tolerability profile consistent with the known profile of selinexor and ruxolitinib individually. No new safety signals were observed.

The five most common all-grade treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs) in the selinexor plus ruxolitinib arm were thrombocytopenia (selinexor plus ruxolitinib arm: 59%; placebo plus ruxolitinib arm: 43%), anemia (57%; 58%), nausea (57%; 17%), constipation (32%; 36%) and neutropenia (27%; 9%) (n=234; n=116). The rate of grade 3+ TEAEs was 70% in the selinexor plus ruxolitinib arm compared to 50% in the placebo plus ruxolitinib arm. The rate of TEAEs leading to treatment discontinuation was 15% in the selinexor plus ruxolitinib arm and 9% in the placebo plus ruxolitinib arm. The rate of confirmed leukemic transformations was the same across both arms of the trial at 1.7%.

Next Steps

The Company will be meeting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to discuss the totality of the data from the SENTRY trial and its supplemental new drug application (sNDA) filing plan.

The Company plans to share additional data from the Phase 3 SENTRY trial at an upcoming medical meeting and expects to submit a manuscript to a peer-reviewed medical journal. The Company believes that potential inclusion in relevant compendia could occur in the second half of 2026.

About the Phase 3 SENTRY Trial

SENTRY (XPORT-MF-034; NCT04562389) is a Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating a once-weekly dose of 60 mg of selinexor in combination with ruxolitinib compared to placebo plus ruxolitinib in JAKi-naïve myelofibrosis patients with platelet counts >100 x 109/L. Patients were randomized 2-to-1 to the selinexor arm. The co-primary endpoints for this trial are spleen volume reduction ≥ 35% (SVR35) at week 24 and the average change in absolute total symptom score (Abs-TSS) over 24 weeks relative to baseline.

About Myelofibrosis

Myelofibrosis is a rare blood cancer that affects approximately 20,000 patients in the United States and 17,000 patients in the European Union1. The disease causes bone marrow fibrosis (scarring in the bone marrow), which makes it difficult for the bone marrow to make healthy blood cells, splenomegaly (enlarged spleen), progressive anemia which often leads to symptoms like fatigue and weakness, and other disease associated symptoms including abdominal discomfort, pain under the left ribs, early satiety, night sweats and bone pain. The only approved class of therapies to treat myelofibrosis are JAK inhibitors, including ruxolitinib.

"Our 2025 results validate that our strategy is clear and the foundation we built over the past year is now propelling Fennec into its next chapter of growth. We delivered record net product sales, achieved significant growth within our Fennec HEARS program, and advanced independent clinical evidence generation for PEDMARK – all while driving quarter-over-quarter growth in every quarter in 2025. These results demonstrate increasing PEDMARK adoption across key accounts and patient segments, effective field execution, and sustained progress across the organization," said Jeff Hackman, chief executive officer of Fennec Pharmaceuticals. "Concurrently, we strengthened our financial position through prudent operating decisions and strategic financial initiatives, including the closing of public and private offerings and the completion of full debt redemption."

Business Highlights:

● Continued Growth Within Key PEDMARK Accounts: Adoption continues to accelerate across new and existing accounts, including multiple Adolescent and Young Adult (AYA) patients across several tumor types receiving PEDMARK. Strong adoption trends reflect growing confidence in PEDMARK’s clinical value and reinforce its potential to help reshape the standard of care for patients receiving cisplatin-based treatment, demonstrating that the Company’s growth strategies are well aligned with market opportunities.

● Expanded Field Team to Accelerate Growth: In the fourth quarter, given the positive momentum Fennec observed over 2025, the Company made the strategic decision to further enhance its execution by increasing its customer facing team to achieve greater reach and frequency with its customers so the organization can ultimately help more cancer patients protect their hearing.

● New Real-World Data in Adults with Head and Neck Cancer (HNC): In February 2026, Fennec announced it presented the first new data since the pivotal clinical program at the 2026 Multidisciplinary Head and Neck Cancers Symposium (MHNCS). Findings supporting the potential use of PEDMARK in adults with head and neck cancers (HNC) were observed in a multi-institutional retrospective review of 15 adults with HNC. The data showed that PEDMARK could be safely given ≥ six hours after cisplatin dosing and was easy to incorporate into the real-world care plan for adults with HNC. This strict post-cisplatin timing is a validated approach intended to preserve cisplatin antitumor activity and no disruption to curative-intent cisplatin-based treatment delivery was observed as part of the study review.

● Initiation of Two Institution-Led Clinical Studies: In December 2025, Fennec announced that City of Hope, a U.S. cancer research and treatment organization, is evaluating PEDMARK for the prevention of cisplatin-induced ototoxicity (CIO) in adult men with stage II-III metastatic testicular germ cell tumors. In March 2026, Fennec announced that Tampa General Hospital (TGH) Cancer Institute is initiating a study evaluating the real-world clinical utility of PEDMARK in reducing the risk of ototoxicity in AYA and adult cancer patients receiving cisplatin-based treatment. Additional investigator-initiated studies supporting the use of PEDMARK in additional tumor types and patient populations, including AYA cancer, have been submitted to Fennec and are currently under review.

● STS-J01 in Japan: In December, Fennec announced positive topline results from the investigator-initiated Phase 2/3 STS-J01 clinical trial evaluating PEDMARK for the reduction of cisplatin-induced ototoxicity in pediatric and adolescent and young adult (AYA) patients with non-metastatic solid tumors in Japan. The results were from the first large-scale pediatric and adolescent and young adults (AYA) trial in Japan and demonstrated that PEDMARK can protect hearing without compromising cisplatin’s efficacy or introducing any concerning side effects. The Company is pursuing registration in Japan and is also exploring partnering or licensing opportunities for PEDMARK.

Upcoming Events:

● Piper Sandler Spring Biopharma Symposium: The management team will host one-on-one investor meetings at the annual Piper Sandler Spring Biopharma Symposium being held April 15–April 16, 2026 at the Convene One Boston Place.

Financial Results for the Fourth Quarter and Full Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2025

● Net Product Sales – For the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company recorded net product sales of $13.8 million compared to $7.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, representing an increase of approximately 75%. For the full fiscal year (FY) 2025, the Company recorded net product sales of approximately $44.6 million compared to $29.6 million in 2024, representing an increase of approximately 50%. The increase in net product sales is attributable to growth across both new and existing accounts with notable success in conversion and adherence of PEDMARK patients.
● Selling and Marketing Expenses – The Company recorded $6.1 million in selling and marketing expenses in the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to $3.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. The increase in selling and marketing expenses is largely related to increased payroll and additional marketing expenses as we focused on expanding our commercial team and preparing for additional outreach to community oncology centers and the adolescent and young adult (AYA) population. For the FY 2025, the Company recorded $18.6 million in selling and marketing compared to $18.4 million in fiscal year 2024. The year- over-year slight increase is largely related to increased payroll and marketing expenses in the comparable period offset by the elimination of European expenses after the announcement of the Norgine transaction in March 2024.

● General and Administrative (G&A) Expenses – The Company recorded $8.9 million in G&A expenses fourth quarter of 2025 compared to $4.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. For the FY 2025, the Company recorded $28.8 million in G&A expenses compared to $23.1 million in fiscal year 2024. G&A expenses increased in both the comparable quarterly and fiscal years due to increased intellectual property-related legal expenses, increased payroll expenses as headcount increased and increased non-cash expenses associated with equity-based remuneration.

● Cash Position – Cash and cash equivalents were $36.7 million as of December 31, 2025. For the FY 2025, there was a $10.2 million increase in cash and cash equivalents between December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2025. The net increase in cash was primarily due to the approximately $42.0 million in net proceeds from equity offerings and net cash collected from net product sales offset by operating expenses and the $21.5 million debt paydown in November of 2025. As of December 31, 2025 the company had $0 in debt outstanding.

About Cisplatin-Induced Ototoxicity

Cisplatin and other platinum-based chemotherapies are widely used to treat solid tumors and have been vital in improving survival rates. Unfortunately, these life-saving treatments often result in permanent, irreversible hearing loss, also known as ototoxicity.i

Hearing loss from cisplatin treatment is not rare. Studies show that between 60-90% of patients treated with cisplatin may develop hearing loss, depending upon the dose and duration of chemotherapy.ii Many of those treated with cisplatin will require lifelong hearing aids or cochlear implants, which can be helpful for some, but do not reverse the hearing loss and can be costly over time.iii Treatment-induced hearing loss can reduce quality of survivorship as it impacts many aspects of life, such as speech and language skills, academic performance, social-emotional development, career potential and the ability to live independently.iv,v While audiologic monitoring is recommended to help manage ototoxicity, it is currently underutilized in certain cancer patient populations.

PEDMARK (sodium thiosulfate injection)

PEDMARK is the first and only U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved therapy indicated to reduce the risk of ototoxicity associated with cisplatin treatment in pediatric patients 1 month of age and older with localized, non-metastatic, solid tumors. It is a unique formulation of sodium thiosulfate in single-dose, ready-to-use vials for intravenous use in pediatric patients. PEDMARK is also the first and only therapeutic agent with proven efficacy and safety data with an established dosing regimen, across two open-label, randomized Phase 3 clinical studies, the Children’s Oncology Group (COG) Protocol ACCL0431 and SIOPEL 6.

Additionally, PEDMARK is recommended for the adolescent and young adult (AYA) population by the National Comprehensive Cancer Network, or NCCN, with a 2A endorsement.

Approximately 500,000 patients in the U.S. are diagnosed annually with cancers that could be treated with a platinum-based chemotherapy.vi,vii The incidence of ototoxicity depends upon the dose and duration of chemotherapy, and many of those treated will require lifelong hearing aids. Until the FDA approval of PEDMARK, there were no preventative agents for this hearing loss. Patients with hearing loss resulting from cancer treatment have a statistically significant worse quality of life compared with peers who have no hearing loss.viii,ix

PEDMARK has been studied by co-operative groups in two Phase 3 clinical studies of survival and reduction of ototoxicity, COG ACCL0431 and SIOPEL 6. Both studies have been completed. The COG ACCL0431 protocol enrolled childhood cancers typically treated with intensive cisplatin therapy for localized and disseminated disease, including newly diagnosed hepatoblastoma, germ cell tumor, osteosarcoma, neuroblastoma, medulloblastoma, and other solid tumors. SIOPEL 6 enrolled only hepatoblastoma patients with localized tumors.

Indications and Usage
PEDMARK (sodium thiosulfate injection) is indicated to reduce the risk of ototoxicity associated with cisplatin in pediatric patients 1 month of age and older with localized, non-metastatic solid tumors.

Limitations of Use
The safety and efficacy of PEDMARK have not been established when administered following cisplatin infusions longer than 6 hours. PEDMARK may not reduce the risk of ototoxicity when administered following longer cisplatin infusions, because irreversible ototoxicity may have already occurred.

Important Safety Information
PEDMARK is contraindicated in patients with history of a severe hypersensitivity to sodium thiosulfate or any of its components.

Hypersensitivity reactions occurred in 8% to 13% of patients in clinical trials. Monitor patients for hypersensitivity reactions. Immediately discontinue PEDMARK and institute appropriate care if a hypersensitivity reaction occurs. Administer antihistamines or glucocorticoids (if appropriate) before each subsequent administration of PEDMARK. PEDMARK may contain sodium sulfite; patients with sulfite sensitivity may have hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylactic symptoms and life-threatening or severe asthma episodes. Sulfite sensitivity is seen more frequently in people with asthma.

PEDMARK is not indicated for use in pediatric patients less than 1 month of age due to the increased risk of hypernatremia or in pediatric patients with metastatic cancers.

Hypernatremia occurred in 12% to 26% of patients in clinical trials, including a single Grade 3 case. Hypokalemia occurred in 15% to 27% of patients in clinical trials, with Grade 3 or 4 occurring in 9% to 27% of patients. Monitor

serum sodium and potassium levels at baseline and as clinically indicated. Withhold PEDMARK in patients with baseline serum sodium greater than 145 mmol/L.

Monitor for signs and symptoms of hypernatremia and hypokalemia more closely if the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) falls below 60 mL/min/1.73m2.

Administer antiemetics prior to each PEDMARK administration. Provide additional antiemetics and supportive care as appropriate.

The most common adverse reactions (≥25% with difference between arms of >5% compared to cisplatin alone) in SIOPEL 6 were vomiting, nausea, decreased hemoglobin, and hypernatremia. The most common adverse reaction (≥25% with difference between arms of >5% compared to cisplatin alone) in COG ACCL0431 was hypokalemia.
