LIXTE Biotechnology Holdings, Inc. Presents Favorable Results For LB-100 And Dostarlimab Combination In Ovarian Cancer Study LIXTE Biotechnology Holdings, Inc. announced the presentation of preliminary results for a clinical trial testing the combination of Lixte’s proprietary compound LB100 in combination with Dostarlimab at the 2026 Conference of the Society of Gynecological Cancer, April 10-13, in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The annual conference brings together a diverse group of specialists, including gynecologic oncologists, radiation oncologists, nurses, researchers and others to share the latest scientific advancements. It features exhibitors from various medical device and pharmaceutical companies, showcasing cutting-edge products and services tailored for the gynecologic cancer care team. LIXTE’s proprietary compound, LB-100, combined with GSK’s anti PD1 drug Dostarlimab, has shown an acceptable safety profile. All 21 planned participants in the trial have been enrolled, and 20 were evaluated for efficacy in this interim analysis. Based on those favorable results, an additional cohort of 21 patients with a higher exposure to LB-100 is in the process of enrolling. At a median follow-up length of 12 months (range 1.4-22), median OS has not been reached. However, OS probability was 0.84 (95%CI 0.64-0.94) at 6 months and 0.69 (95% CI 0.44-0.84) at 12 months. The Disease Control Rate was 40% (8/20, 95% CI 19.1-63.9%). The trial is based on the observation by the lead clinical investigator Amir Jazaeri MD, Professor of Gynecologic Oncology at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, that a genetically acquired reduction in PP2A activity may increase responsiveness to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) in Ovarian Clear Cell Carcinoma (OCCC), particularly in tumors harboring somatic PPP2R1A mutations resulting in loss of protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) function. Specifically, prior investigation reported markedly prolonged overall survival (OS) with ICB in patients with PPP2R1A-mutant OCCC (66.9 months versus 9.2 months for patients with wild-type tumors). This suggested that reducing PP2A pharmacologically with LB-100 may enhance the anti-tumor effect of the PD-1 blocking monoclonal antibody, dostarlimab-gxly, in patients with Ovarian Clear Cell Carcinoma lacking the genetic reduction in PP2A.

New minor risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 75% of American stocks, typically moving 11% a week. This is considered a minor risk. Share price volatility indicates the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. It also increases the risk of potential losses in the short term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (287% increase in shares outstanding). Revenue is less than US$1m. Minor Risks Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (11% average weekly change). Market cap is less than US$100m (US$23.4m market cap). Aankondiging • Dec 19

LIXTE Biotechnology Holdings, Inc. Targets Large, Unmet Oncology Markets LIXTE Biotechnology Holdings, Inc. is advancing its clinical strategy by focusing on high-need, high-value cancer indications that currently offer limited treatment options. The company's lead compound, LB-100, is being evaluated in several investigator-led clinical studies aimed at enhancing the effectiveness of both chemotherapy and immunotherapy in treatment-resistant cancers. Colorectal cancer is among the most prevalent cancers globally, with the colorectal cancer drug market projected to surpass $18 billion by 2028. A significant challenge in the field is that approximately 85% of colorectal cancer cases are microsatellite-stable (MSS) and typically do not respond to existing immunotherapies such as checkpoint inhibitors. At the Netherlands Cancer Institute, LB-100 is being studied in combination with atezolizumab, Roche's anti-PD-L1 immunotherapy, in a clinical trial focused specifically on patients with MSS colorectal cancer. The trial is designed to assess whether inhibition of PP2A with LB-100 can improve immune response in these tumors, which are generally considered immunologically "cold." Ovarian Clear-Cell Carcinoma (OCCC) OCCC is a rare but aggressive subtype of ovarian cancer, accounting for about 5-10% of cases. The current standard treatments have limited efficacy, and patients often have poor long-term outcomes. The global market for ovarian cancer therapies was valued at over $2 billion in 2023, with growth expected due to rising incidence and expanded treatment approaches. Interim data from this trial are expected in fourth quarter 2025. Soft-tissue sarcomas are a diverse group of rare cancers with limited treatment advances in recent decades. Doxorubicin remains a frontline standard, despite modest response rates and long-standing resistance challenges. The global market for soft-tissue sarcoma therapies is projected to reach $1.5 to $2 billion by 2030. In collaboration with the Spanish Sarcoma Group (GEIS), LIXTE is supporting a Phase 1b clinical study evaluating LB-100 in combination with doxorubicin. The trial is designed to evaluate whether LB-100 can enhance the effectiveness of chemotherapy by disrupting tumor cell stress-response and DNA repair pathways. Initial clinical results are anticipated later this year. Ongoing Development Strategy: LIXTE's clinical programs are aligned with indications that represent significant commercial opportunities and unmet therapeutic needs, particularly in tumors with poor responses to current immunotherapies.LB-100 is a first-in-class inhibitor of PP2A, a master regulatory enzyme involved in multiple oncogenic signaling pathways. Its novel mechanism of action is designed to sensitize tumors to other treatments, including both immune checkpoint blockade and standard chemotherapy. The company's development strategy is focused on combination approaches that aim to improve outcomes in indications with historically poor response rates, thereby addressing both clinical and commercial gaps in the oncology market.

New major risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 138% This is considered a major risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (35% average weekly change). Earnings have declined by 3.3% per year over the past 5 years. Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (138% increase in shares outstanding). Revenue is less than US$1m.

New Clinical Findings Published in Scientific Journal Nature Validate LIXTE's Ongoing Ovarian and Colorectal Cancer Trials LIXTE Biotechnology Holdings, Inc. announced that the medical journal Nature has published findings by a team of physician-scientists that validate LIXTE's ongoing clinical trials with its proprietary compound LB100 for Ovarian and Colorectal cancers. A team led by principal investigator Amir Jazaeri, MD, professor of Gynecologic Oncology and Reproductive Medicine at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, studied survival outcomes of Ovarian Clear Cell Carcinoma (OCCC) patients treated with immune checkpoint blockade therapy (clinicaltrials.gov identifier: NCT03026062). The; study showed that patients having tumors with inactivating mutations in PPP2R1A - the major scaffold subunit of protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) - had significantly better overall survival, compared with patients who did not have this mutation in their tumors. Inactivating mutations in PPP 2R1A are known to reduce the enzymatic activity of PP2A, which is the target of LIXTE's lead compound LB-100. Tumors with mutations in PPP2R 1A were found to have increased the interferon gamma response pathway, which is known to be associated with improved immune checkpoint responses. LIXTE is currently investigating the activity of LB-100 in combination with checkpoint immunotherapy in two clinical trials. The first is enrolling patients with OCCC, led by Dr. Jazaeri at MD Anderson Cancer Center, and also is open at Northwester University. In this trial, LIXTE is collaborating with GSK to test LB-100 in combination with dostarlimab (anti PD1). In the second trial, at the Netherlands Cancer Institute, LIXTE is collaborating With Roche to test LB-100 in collaboration with atezolizumab (anti PDL1) in colon cancer patients.

The Company is undertaking measures to regain compliance under Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements within the extension period and to remain listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market. However, there can be no assurances that the Company will ultimately regain compliance with the Equity Rule, or be able to maintain compliance with all other applicable requirements for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company’s failure to meet these requirements would result in the Company’s securities being delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market. Aankondiging • Mar 31
LIXTE Biotechnology Holdings, Inc. Launches New Study to Determine If Certain Pre-Cancerous Cells Found in an Aging Population Can Be Eliminated by LB-100 LIXTE Biotechnology Holdings, Inc. announced it will conduct a new pre-clinical study in collaboration with Netherlands Cancer Institute (NKI) to test whether "initiated" cells that carry mutations found in cancer cells can be eliminated by treatment with LIXTE's proprietary compound LB-100. Increasing evidence indicates that as individuals age, certain mutations accumulate that are found in cancer cells. While these "initiated" cells behave essentially normally, they can propagate to form reservoirs of pre-malignant cells from which malignant cells may eventually emerge. Recent data from LIXTE's ongoing clinical collaboration with NKI shows that LB-100 activates oncogenic signaling and that this is detrimental to cancer cells. The new study in animal models will investigate whether "initiated" cell, harboring a mutant RAS oncogene, can be eliminated with LB-100. If successful, LB-100 could have a significant role in the elimination of initiated cells in aged individuals and could reduce the risk of developing a wide range of cancers as a person ages. The study will be led by Rene Bernards, Ph.D., a global leader in the field of molecular carcinogenesis and Senior Staff Scientist at NKI, one of the comprehensive cancer centers. Dr. Bernards also is a member of LIXTE's Board of Directors. Aankondiging • Mar 28

LIXTE Biotechnology Holdings, Inc. Announces Online Publication of New Pre-Clinical Data in BioXriv and International Journal of Pharmaceutics LIXTE Biotechnology Holdings, Inc. announced online publication of new pre-clinical data in BioXriv and International Journal of Pharmaceutics demonstrating how the Company's lead clinical compound, LB-100, is converted into its active form, endothall, a protein phosphatase (PP2A) inhibitor that has been found to be effective in cancer treatment in combination with immunotherapy. As published in BioXriv, scientists at the Netherlands Cancer Institute have discovered an enzyme that mediates the conversion of LB-100 into the active metabolite endothall. Accordingly, this protein represents a potential biomarker to identify patients who are most likely to respond to LB-100. The biomarker discovery study was performed in the laboratories of Professor Rene Bernards, group leader at the Netherlands Cancer Institute and LIXTE board member. As published in the International Journal of Pharmaceutics, Dr. Hans Rollema and colleagues, medicinal chemists and biochemists at BioPharmaWorks LLC, a consultant to LIXTE, studied how LB-100 can spontaneously convert into the active metabolite endthall by hydrolysis. Their data indicate that this conversion is slow under physiological conditions. The enzymatic conversion of LB-100 identified by the Bernards laboratory expedites the activation of LB-100 inside the cell. Aankondiging • Feb 22

Lixte Biotechnology Holdings, Inc. Reports Findings Show LIXTE's Lead Clinical Compound, LB-100, Increases Recognition of Colon Cancer Cells by the Immune System LIXTE Biotechnology Holdings, Inc. announced online publication of new pre-clinical data in the journal EMBO Reports, showing that its lead compound, LB-100, can turn immunologically " cold" tumors "hot," potentially enhancing the benefit of immunotherapy. In a paper titled, "The Phosphatase Inhibitor LB-100 Creates Neoantigens in Colon Cancer Cells through Perturbation of mRNA Splicing," LIXTE's collaborators from the Netherlands Cancer Institute have demonstrated that treatment of cancer cells with LB-100 disrupts the normal processing of the mRNA that encodes proteins, thereby generating neo-antigens that are presented to the host immune system. This new mechanism adds to several previous discoveries showing that LB-100 sensitizes cancer cells to immune checkpoint blockade. The bioactivity of LB-100 shown in this new study turns the large group of immunologically cold microsatellite stable colon cancer cells into tumors that are recognized by the immune system. This development has the potential to significantly expand the number of colon cancer patients who respond to immunotherapy. In the currently published manuscript, the authors provide direct evidence that LB-100 generates neo-antigens that are presented in the context of MHC class I antigens to the immune system.

Announces Publication of Pre-Clinical Data in the Online Journal LIXTE Biotechnology Holdings, Inc. announced publication of pre-clinical data in the online journal, Cancer Discovery, showing that its lead clinical compound, LB-100, can force cancer cells to give up their cancer-causing properties in a paper entitled “Paradoxical activation of oncogenic signaling as a cancer treatment strategy.” The finding opens a potentially new treatment strategy in addition to LIXTE’s current three clinical trials. As will be published in the July 2024 issue and posted online today, LB-100 was shown to trigger hyper-activation of the signals that are responsible for the deregulated proliferation of cancer cells, which is the opposite of most of the current generation of cancer therapies. The deliberate hyper-activation of cancer signals becomes lethal when combined with an inhibitor of the WEE1 kinase. This well-tolerated combination proved to be highly effective in killing colon cancer cells in animal models of cancer and in cell culture. Resistance to therapy is the leading cause of death due to cancer. Resistance to LB-100 therapy, however, has been shown to be associated with cancer cells becoming less malignant. Specifically, colon cancer cells that developed resistance to LB-100 had lost many of the features that make the cells cancerous in the first place and were unable to form tumors in experimental animal models. This “tumor suppressive drug resistance” stems from the unique features of LB-100. Although cancer-causing signals force cancer cells to become more cancerous, the hyper-activation of these signals by LB-100 forces cancer cells to suppress these signals and thus become less cancerous. The team of scientists reporting these findings was headed by Professor René Bernards at the Netherlands Cancer Institute and Oncode Institute, Amsterdam. Professor Bernards is a a leader in the field of molecular carcinogenesis and is a member of the Board of Directors of LIXTE. Aankondiging • Mar 23

Lixte Biotechnology Holdings, Inc. Announces Dosing of the First Patient in A Phase 1B/2 Clinical Trial to Assess Whether Adding Lixte’S Lb-100 to Gsk’S Programmed Death Receptor-1 (Pd-1)-Blocking Monoclonal Antibody, Dostarlimab-Gxly, May Enhance the Effectiveness of Immunotherapy in the Treatment of Ovarian Clear Cell Carcinoma LIXTE Biotechnology Holdings, Inc. announced the dosing of the first patient in a Phase 1b/2 clinical trial to assess whether adding LIXTE’s LB-100 to GSK’s programmed death receptor-1 (PD-1)-blocking monoclonal antibody, dostarlimab-gxly, may enhance the effectiveness of immunotherapy in the treatment of ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC). The clinical trial was initiated by and is being conducted at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. LIXTE is providing LB-100; GSK is providing dostarlimab-gxly and financial support for the clinical trial. The clinical trial (NCT06065462) is based on the observation by the lead clinical investigator of the trial, Amir Jazaeri MD, Professor of Gynecologic Oncology at MD Anderson, that a genetically acquired reduction in PP2A may enhance sensitivity to immunotherapy. This raises the possibility that reducing PP2A pharmacologically with LB-100 may enhance the anti-tumor effect of the PD-1 blocking monoclonal antibody, dostarlimab-gxly, in patients with OCCC lacking the genetic reduction in PP2A.

LIXTE Biotechnology Holdings, Inc. Announces Supported Collaborative Trial to Study LIXTE’s First-in-Class PP2A Inhibitor, LB-100, Plus GSK’s Immunotherapy, Dostarlimab, in Clear-Cell Ovarian Cancer LIXTE Biotechnology Holdings, Inc. announced a Phase 1b collaborative clinical trial to assess whether adding Lixte's LB-100 to GSK's programmed death receptor-1 (PD-1)-blocking monoclonal antibody, dostarlimab, may enhance the effectiveness of immunotherapy in the treatment of ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC). The clinical trial is sponsored by The University of Texas - MD Anderson Cancer Center and will be conducted at MD Anderson and will also be open at Northwestern University's Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center. LIXTE will provide LB-100; GSK will provide dostarlimab and financial support for the clinical trial. The clinical trial is based on the observation of longer survival of patients with OCCC treated with immunotherapy whose cancer cells have an acquired gene mutation resulting in a reduction in PP2A. This finding was reported by the lead clinical investigators of this new trial1: Amir Jazaeri MD, Professor of Gynecologic Oncology at MD Anderson, and Emily Hinchcliff, MD, MPH, Assistant Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. The observation by Drs. Jazaeri and Hinchcliff, that a genetically acquired reduction in PP2A enhances sensitivity to immunotherapy, raises the possibility that reducing PP2A pharmacologically with LB-100 will enhance the anti-tumor effect of the PD-1 blocking monoclonal antibody dostarlimab in patients with OCCC lacking the genetic reduction in PP2A. New Risk • Jul 24
New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 35% This is considered a minor risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Less than 1 year of cash runway based on free cash flow trend (-US$4.8m free cash flow). Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (19% average weekly change). Earnings have declined by 30% per year over the past 5 years. Revenue is less than US$1m.

New major risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 90% of American stocks, typically moving 17% a week. This is considered a major risk. Share price volatility increases the risk of potential losses in the short-term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. It may also indicate the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Less than 1 year of cash runway based on free cash flow trend (-US$4.8m free cash flow).

LIXTE Biotechnology Announces 1-for-10 Reverse Stock Split to Bring it into Compliance with Nasdaq’s Minimum Bid Price Requirement for Continued Listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market On June 2, 2023, LIXTE Biotechnology Holdings, Inc. announced that it will effect a 1-for-10 reverse stock split of its issued and outstanding common stock effective on June 2, 2023. Commencing with the opening of trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market on June 5, 2023, the company’s common stock will trade on a post-split basis under the same symbol LIXT. The reverse stock split was approved by the company’s stockholders at a special meeting of stockholders held on May 26, 2023, with the final ratio being determined by the company’s Board of Directors. As a result of the reverse stock split, every 10 shares of issued and outstanding common stock will be exchanged for 1 share of common stock, with any fractional shares being rounded up to the next higher whole share. Immediately after the reverse stock split becomes effective, the company will have approximately 1,665,909 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. The reverse stock split is primarily intended to increase the per share trading price of LIXTE’s common stock to bring the company into compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. However, there can be no assurances that the company will be able to remain in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement over time, or that it will be successful in maintaining compliance with any of the other Nasdaq continued listing requirements.

Lixte Biotechnology Holdings, Inc. Announces Recently Published Independent Research Reveals New Mechanisms LIXTE Biotechnology Holdings, Inc. announced that a recently published article in the journal Cancer Research showed that PP2A, the pharmacologic target of LIXTE's lead clinical compound, LB-100, when inactivated in pre-clinical models of glioma, activates a complex intracellular signaling system, the cGAS-STING pathway. This leads to an activation of interferon signaling, an increase in MHC class I expression on tumor cells, an increase in CD8(+) killer T cell proliferation, while at the same time reducing immunosuppressive tumor associated macrophages. Consequently, as shown in the article, PP2A inactivation sensitized the immunologically "cold" glioblastoma cells to immune checkpoint blockade therapy in vitro. The May 23, 2023 article in the journal Cancer Research, entitled "PP2Ac Deficiency Enhances Tumor Immunogenicity by Activating STING-Type I Interferon Signaling in Glioblastoma," by Mondal et al. from the Department of Neurological Surgery, University of California, San Francisco.
