NANOBIOTIX announced updates to its corporate strategy designed to enable long-term growth in view of significant progress in the Company's collaboration for the co-development and global commercialization of lead therapeutic candidate NBTXR3. Nanobiotix is developing three nanoparticle-based therapy platforms in sequence. The first therapeutic candidate from the first platform, potential first-in-class radioenhancer NBTXR3, is being developed and potentially commercialized in collaboration with NBTXR3 global licensee Janssen Pharmaceutica NV (Janssen).

Nanobiotix plans to leverage the sustainable revenue it expects to come from the development and commercialization of NBTXR3 to further advance development of the two other platforms described in the conclusion of this announcement. Delivering Potentially Curative Outcomes for Patients with Locally Advanced and Metastatic Cancers: NBTXR3 is being evaluated as a therapeutic candidate that could integrate into the cancer treatment paradigm for the 60% of patients with cancer who receive radiotherapy (?RT?) as part of their therapeutic regimen each year. To date, NBTXR3 has been injected in hundreds of patients by leading physicians at several pre-eminent clinical research institutions in the United States, Europe, and Asia.

The current NBTXR3 development program is initially focused on the completion of NANORAY-312, an ongoing pivotal phase 3 study evaluating the radioenhancer for elderly patients with locally advanced head and neck cancer (LA-HNSCC), and the launch of a randomized Phase 2 study evaluating NBTXR3 for patients with stage 3 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) for which Janssen is fully responsible. Preparing NANORAY-312 for Potential Regulatory Submission: In preparation for potential regulatory submission in the event of positive trial results, Nanobiotix and Janssen aligned at the collaboration?s Joint Strategy Committee (?JSC?) to transfer the global sponsorship of the Phase 3 pivotal head and neck cancer trial. Nanobiotix will continue to support Janssen in execution of NANORAY-312 during and after the sponsorship transfer is complete.

Study operations will remain ongoing during the transfer. Following discussions that began at the end of 2023, and in view of the intended transfer of the sponsorship, the JSC recently aligned to a protocol amendment that would remove the planned futility analysis in light of robust, positive final data from the expansion part of Study 102, a Phase 1 study evaluating NBTXR3 in a similar population. Given that the Study 102 results provided satisfactory support for the NANORAY-312 trial design, the futility analysis was deemed unnecessary.

This amendment is subject to review and approval by health authorities in all countries where NANORAY-312 is operational as well as by the sites participating in the study. To date, the amendment has been accepted by health authorities in several major regions in the study. Additionally, Nanobiotix and Janssen have agreed to a change in approach to the planned interim analysis such that interim data will analyzed and reported after both the requisite number of events have been observed and the last patient has been recruited in 1H2026, rather than immediately after the requisite number of events as originally planned.

This revised approach helps to ensure that potentially positive trial results do not influence recruitment prior to completion of the study. As such, Nanobiotix now expects the interim analysis to be reported after the last patient is recruited in first half 2026.
