"This is an exciting year for TScan as we advance our mission of bringing life-changing T-cell therapies to patients with both heme and solid tumor malignancies,” said Gavin MacBeath, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer. “In the first quarter, we continued to enroll into singleplex dose levels in our PLEXI-T solid tumor trial. We look forward to dosing our first patient with multiplex therapy soon, and to sharing safety and efficacy data later this year. With respect to our heme program, we remain on track to initiate a registrational trial of TSC-101 in the latter half of the year. We continue to investigate TSC-101 in patients with AML, ALL, and MDS and plan to provide an update on the ALLOHA Phase 1 study, including two-year follow-up on initial patients, by year-end.” Recent Corporate Highlights The Company recently announced an upcoming poster presentation: “CD45 as a Universal Target for Adjuvant TCR-T Cell Therapy Following Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation” at the American Society of Gene and Cell Therapy (ASGCT) 28th Annual Meeting, being held May 13-17 in New Orleans.

Upcoming Anticipated Milestones Heme Malignancies Program: TScan’s lead TCR-T therapy candidate, TSC-101, is designed to treat residual disease and prevent relapse in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) (the ALLOHA trial, NCT05473910). Plans to initiate a registrational trial for TSC-101, pending further feedback from regulatory authorities, in the second half of 2025.Expects to file an investigational new drug (IND) application for TSC-102-A0301, a TCR-T targeting an HLA-A*03:01-restricted epitope on CD45, in the second half of 2025.Plans to present additional data from the ALLOHA Phase 1 trial by the end of the year, including two-year relapse data on the initial patients. Solid Tumor Program: TScan continues to develop the ImmunoBank, a collection of TCR-T therapy candidates that target different cancer-associated antigens presented on diverse HLA types. TScan’s strategy is to treat patients with multiple TCR-T therapy candidates to overcome tumor heterogeneity and resistance that may arise from either target or HLA loss (the PLEXI-T trial, NCT05973487). On track to dose first patient with multiplex TCR-T therapy in the first half of 2025.Safety and response data for multiplex TCR-T therapy anticipated by the end of the year. First Quarter 2025 Financial Results Revenue: Revenue for the first quarter of 2025 was $2.2 million, compared to $0.6 million for the first quarter of 2024.
