(Nasdaq: CTMX), a leader in the field of masked, conditionally activated biologics, today announced second quarter 2025 financial results and provided a business update. “Q2 2025 was an exciting quarter for CytomX as we announced positive initial clinical results for CX-2051 in advanced colorectal cancer, a very challenging disease to treat. Our data highlight CX-2051’s intentional design as a first-in-class, masked EpCAM-directed ADC with potential to improve upon the standard of care in late-line CRC. We are also delighted to have completed a financing with top-tier investors that enables CytomX to rapidly advance the CX-2051 development program. Looking ahead, we remain highly focused on our next anticipated CX-2051 clinical data update in Q1 2026 and to potentially launching a Phase 2 study in the first half of 2026,” said Sean McCarthy, D.Phil., chief executive officer and chairman of CytomX. Q2 2025 Pipeline Program Updates: CX-2051 (EpCAM PROBODY Topo-1 ADC) Announced positive interim data from ongoing Phase 1 dose escalation study of first-in-class EpCAM Antibody Drug Conjugate (CX-2051) in patients with advanced colorectal cancer (CRC). Initiated CX-2051 dose expansions at the 7.2 mg/kg, 8.6 mg/kg, and 10 mg/kg doses, administered every three weeks (Q3W).Phase 1 data update in advanced CRC in approximately 70 patients is expected by Q1 2026.Planning underway for CX-2051 Phase 2 study initiation in advanced, late-line CRC in 1H 2026.Potential to initiate CX-2051 combination studies in earlier lines of CRC therapy in 2026.Evaluation ongoing of multiple non-CRC, EpCAM-expressing tumor indications for potential future CX-2051 development. CX-801 (PROBODY Interferon alpha-2b) Phase 1 dose escalation of CX-801 monotherapy continues. Preliminary tumor biomarker, pharmacodynamic (PD) and pharmacokinetic (PK) data evaluating the initial molecular performance of CX-801 monotherapy in the ongoing Phase 1 study are expected in the fourth quarter of 2025.In May 2025, Phase 1 dose escalation of CX-801 in combination with KEYTRUDA® was initiated. Initial clinical data for the combination therapy in advanced melanoma is anticipated in 2026. KEYTRUDA® is a registered trademark of Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC, a subsidiary of Merck & Co., Inc., Rahway, NJ, USA Corporate and Financial: Financial: Completed $100 million ($93.4 million net proceeds) underwritten offering of common stock.CytomX ended the second quarter of 2025 with $158.1 million of cash, cash equivalents and investments with expected cash runway to the second quarter of 2027. Research collaborations: Presented preclinical data for mRNA encoded masked IL-12 molecule in collaboration with Moderna at AACR Annual Meeting showing potent anti-tumor activity with significantly enhanced tolerability vs. unmasked IL-12 molecule.Multiple drug discovery programs continue across our research collaborations with a focus on bispecific immunotherapies, including T-cell engagers. CytomX has research collaborations with Bristol Myers Squibb, Amgen, Astellas, Regeneron, and Moderna. Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results: Cash, cash equivalents and investments totaled $158.1 million as of June 30, 2025, compared to $79.9 million as of March 31, 2025. Total revenue was $18.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, compared to $25.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in revenue was driven primarily by the completion of our performance obligations in the Bristol Myers Squibb collaboration, the decision not to further develop the CX-904 program in the Amgen agreement, and a decrease in Moderna activities due to Moderna budget considerations. Total operating expense in the second quarter of 2025 was $19.9 million compared to $33.6 million in the second quarter of 2024, a decrease of $13.7 million. Research and development expenses were $13.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, a decrease of $11.9 million compared to the corresponding period of 2024. Reduced research and development expenses were primarily due to a one-time milestone payment of $5M to Immunogen for the first patient dosed in Phase 1 with CX-2051 in Q2 2024, a reduction in CX-904 spend due to program de-prioritization in 2025, and reduced research expenses following the Q1 2025 restructuring. General and administrative expenses were $6.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, a decrease of $1.8 million compared to the corresponding period of 2024. The decrease in general and administrative expenses was primarily driven by personnel costs as well as patent and legal expenses.

By pioneering a novel pipeline of localized biologics, powered by its PROBODY® therapeutic platform, CytomX’s vision is to create safer, more effective therapies for the treatment of cancer. CytomX’s multi-modality technology platform has produced therapeutic candidates across multiple treatment modalities including antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), T-cell engagers, and immune modulators such as cytokines. CytomX’s current clinical-stage pipeline includes CX-2051 and CX-801. CX-2051 is a masked, conditionally activated ADC directed toward epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM), armed with a topoisomerase-1 inhibitor payload. CX-2051 has potential applicability across multiple EpCAM-expressing epithelial cancers, including CRC, and was discovered in collaboration with ImmunoGen. CX-801 is a masked interferon alpha-2b PROBODY® cytokine with broad potential applicability in traditionally immuno-oncology sensitive as well as insensitive (cold) tumors. CytomX has established strategic collaborations with multiple leaders in oncology, including Amgen, Astellas, Bristol Myers Squibb, Regeneron and Moderna.
