PR Newswire (US) TAMPA, Fla., May 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- TuHURA Biosciences, Inc. (NASDAQ: HURA) ("TuHURA" or the "Company"), a Phase 3 immuno-oncology company developing novel therapeutics to overcome resistance to cancer immunotherapy, today reported financial results for the Company's first quarter ended March 31, 2026, and provided a corporate update."I am very pleased with the progress we have made this past quarter as we continue to execute upon our corporate and development strategy. Importantly, we recently established a $50 million non-equity-based source of operating capital in the form of credit facility with our largest stockholder on attractive terms for the company allowing us to fund operations beyond anticipated top-line data in our lead IFx-2.0 program," said Dr. James Bianco, President and CEO of TuHURA Biosciences. "With the financing optionality provided by the credit facility, we now look forward to several anticipated key upcoming milestones, including: meeting with the FDA to discuss our IND and development plan for our VISTA inhibitor, TBS-2025, and initiating a Phase 1b/2 trial of TBS-2025 in mutNPM1 r/r AML; selecting our lead ADC for proof-of-concept studies in AML; and completing enrollment in our Phase 3 study of IFx-2.0 in Merkel Cell Carcinoma (MCC)."First Quarter and Recent Corporate Highlights:In April 2026, the company announced a $50 million credit facility and royalty transaction extending its anticipated cash runway into 2028. Under the terms of the loan agreement for the credit facility, TuHURA will have the ability to draw down on the facility on an as-needed basis to fund monthly expenses for ongoing clinical development and operations. The facility bears a 12% annual interest rate on outstanding funds drawn, with interest paid monthly and principal repayment due at a 5-year maturity date for April 21, 2031.Announced Craig Tendler, M.D., will provide strategic, operational and other related services consistent with those of a Chief Medical Officer. Dr. Tendler will continue in his role as a member of the Board of Directors and also work with management to oversee clinical development strategy and operations of the company's pipeline, including its VISTA inhibiting antibody, TBS-2025.Appointed Amanda Garofalo, MSHS, as Senior Vice President of Clinical Operations. Mrs. Garofalo has over 20 years of clinical and development experience and will work closely with Dr. Tendler in overseeing the day-to-day clinical operations.Received FDA Orphan Drug Designation (ODD) for IFx-2.0 for the treatment of stage IIB to stage IV cutaneous melanoma. The ODD designation was based on data from the Company's previously completed Phase 1 study of IFx-2.0, which demonstrated IFx-2.0 to be safe with no serious dose limiting toxicities. Additionally, the study demonstrated that patients refractory to checkpoint inhibitor therapy (anti-PD1) experienced clinical benefit upon subsequent anti-PD1 based treatment.Anticipated Milestones by Program

TuHURA Biosciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: HURA) is a Phase 3 immuno-oncology company developing novel technologies to overcome primary and acquired resistance to cancer immunotherapy, two of the most common reasons cancer immunotherapies fail to work or stop working in the majority of patients with cancer.TuHURA's lead innate immune agonist, IFx-2.0, is designed to overcome primary resistance to checkpoint inhibitors. TuHURA has initiated a single randomized placebo-controlled Phase 3 registration trial of IFx-2.0 administered as an adjunctive therapy to Keytruda® (pembrolizumab) compared to Keytruda® plus placebo in first-line treatment for advanced or metastatic Merkel Cell Carcinoma.In addition to its innate immune agonist product candidates, TuHURA is developing TBS-2025, a VISTA inhibiting mAb moving into Phase 1b/2 in mutNPM1 r/r AML, a molecularly defined subgroup of patients with AML. In addition, TuHURA is leveraging its Delta Opioid Receptor technology to develop first-in-class, bi-specific, bi-functional antibody drug conjugates (ADCs) targeting Myeloid Derived Suppressor Cells to inhibit their immune-suppressing effects on the tumor microenvironment to prevent T cell exhaustion and acquired resistance to checkpoint inhibitors and cellular therapies.For more information, please visit www.tuhurabio.com and connect with TuHURA on Facebook, X, and LinkedIn.Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

TAMPA, Fla., April 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- TuHURA Biosciences, Inc. (NASDAQ:HURA) ("TuHURA" or the "Company"), a Phase 3 immuno-oncology company developing novel therapeutics to overcome resistance to cancer immunotherapy, today reported financial results for the Company's fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025, and provided a corporate update."2025 was a strong year of executing upon our goals, and we continue to move all our programs forward this year. As we progress our clinical development pipeline, we have strategically strengthened our clinical and drug development expertise with Craig Tendler, M.D., providing the strategic and operational services consistent with those of a Chief Medical Officer to oversee clinical development strategy and operations of the company's pipeline, including our VISTA inhibiting antibody, TBS-2025," said Dr. James Bianco, President and CEO of TuHURA Biosciences. "Craig brings a depth of experience that is invaluable to us as we look forward to several targeted key milestones in our VISTA program this year. Our IFx-2.0 Phase 3 study in front-line Merkel Cell Carcinoma (MCC) continues to enroll, and we now anticipate completing enrollment in mid-2027. Additionally, we continue to make important advancements toward preclinical proof-of-concept in our first-in-class immune modulating antibody drug conjugates (ADC) program and anticipate presenting new data at a scientific conference later this year."Dr. Bianco continued, "We are grateful to have the unwavering support of our shareholders, who are committed to supporting our programs and realizing the potentially meaningful opportunity each one addresses."Corporate HighlightsInitiated a randomized Phase 3 Accelerated Approval Trial for IFx-2.0 in first line treatment of patients with advanced or metastatic Merkel Cell Carcinoma (MCC) as adjunctive therapy to Keytruda® (pembrolizumab). Phase 3 study trial being conducted under a Special Protocol Assessment (SPA) agreement with U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Primary endpoint of Overall Response Rate (ORR) qualifies for accelerated approval process. Key secondary endpoint of Progression Free Survival (PFS) may satisfy the requirement for a post confirmatory trial, converting accelerated approval to regular approval.Initiated Phase 1b/2a Study of IFx-2.0 as an adjunctive therapy to Keytruda® (pembrolizumab) in first line treatment for metastatic Merkel Cell Carcinoma of Unknown Primary Origin (MCCUP). Trial designed to evaluate the safety and feasibility of IFx-Hu2.0 in combination with Keytruda® when administered via Interventional Radiology (IR) in patients with deep- seated tumors without associated cutaneous tumors.Closed acquisition of Kineta gaining rights to TBS-2025, a novel VISTA inhibiting antibody, for $10.5 million.Raised gross proceeds of $21.2 million in registered direct offerings and private placementsPresented data demonstrating the Delta Opioid Receptor (DOR) as a new target in overcoming acquired resistance to immune checkpoint inhibitors at ASH. Selected for Oral Presentation by the Scientific Committee of American Society of Hematology new scientific evidence that DOR is expressed on tumor-associated Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cells (MDSCs), and its inhibition decreases immune suppressing capabilities of MDSCs by downregulating expression of multiple genes associated with MDSC induced immunosuppression. Data also presented in the poster session demonstrated that the DOR is also expressed on tumor associated macrophages (TAMs) and DOR inhibition appears to reverse TAM mediated T cell suppression with the potential to overcome resistance to checkpoint inhibitors and other cancer immunotherapies.Upcoming Targeted Milestones by Program
