Orion Pharma Announces First Results From Phase 1/2 TEADES Trial With TEAD Inhibitor ODM-212 In Patients With Advanced Solid Tumours Orion Pharma announced first Phase 1 results from the ongoing Phase 1/2 multi-site, open-label, first-in-human TEADES trial evaluating the safety, tolerability and preliminary efficacy of ODM-212, a small molecule oral pan-TEAD inhibitor in patients with advanced solid tumours. According to the results, ODM-212 was well tolerated. Dose limiting toxicities (DLT) were not reported and the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) was not reached. The most frequent treatment-related adverse event (TRAE) was proteinuria (19.7%), which was reversible and resulted in treatment adjustment in 7.9% of patients. Other common TRAE’s were increased lipase (15.8%) and nausea (10.5%). Treatment responses by RECIST 1.1 were observed across multiple doses (overall response rate1, ORR 15.6%), predominantly in patients with mesothelioma (ORR 27.8%, disease control rate2, DCR 77.8%) and EHE (ORR 22.2%, DCR 100%). The new data were presented during the 2026 American Society of Clinical Oncology Annual Meeting, taking place in Chicago, IL, United States, from May 29-June 2, 2026. Phase 2 of the TEADES trial is ongoing. The trial will enroll up to 300 patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM), EHE or other solid tumours with dysfunction in Hippo pathway, and who have progressed despite available standard treatments and with limited further treatment options. Another ongoing Phase 1/2 trial TEADCO is evaluating ODM-212 in combination with standard of care treatments in advanced mesothelioma, KRAS G12C mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and pancreatic cancer. The TEADES trial is a Phase 1/2 multi-center, open-label study that will enroll up to 300 patients with MPM, EHE or other solid tumours with dysfunction in Hippo pathway. The trial will include patients who have progressed despite available standard treatments and with limited further treatment options. The primary endpoints of the study are safety and tolerability with secondary endpoints including Overall Response Rate, Progression Free Survival and Overall Survival. This is a global trial conducted at oncology centers in the US and Europe. ODM-212 is an oral small-molecule pan-TEAD (Transcriptional Enhanced Associate Domain) inhibitor developed by Orion Pharma. It targets the Hippo signaling pathway, which regulates cell growth and organ size. Dysregulation of this pathway—particularly through YAP/TAZ activation—can lead to uncontrolled tumour growth and resistance to cancer therapies. ODM-212 works by blocking TEAD transcription factors, disrupting YAP-TEAD protein-protein interactions, and inhibiting TEAD auto-palmitoylation, which is essential for TEAD activity.

Orion Corporation Initiates Teadco Phase 1b/2 Basket Trial Evaluating Odm-212 In Combination With Standard Of Care Treatments In Patients With Select Advanced Solid Tumours Orion Corporation (Orion Pharma) announced the initiation of a Phase 1b/2 basket trial evaluating ODM-212, a potential best-in-class, oral pan-TEAD inhibitor, in combination with standard of care treatments in advanced mesothelioma, KRAS G12C mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and pancreatic cancer. The TEADCO trial is a multi-centre, open-label basket trial designed to evaluate the efficacy, safety, dose and tolerability of ODM-212 in combination with standard of care in these indications. The first cohort of the TEADCO trial evaluates ODM-212 in combination with ipilimumab and nivolumab as a first-line treatment for patients with advanced malignant pleural mesothelioma. ODM-212 has the potential to both exert direct anti-tumour activity and prevent emergence of treatment resistance to standard of care therapies in this indication. The second cohort evaluates ODM-212 in combination with sotorasib, a targeted KRAS inhibitor, for the treatment of NSCLC in patients with KRAS G12C mutation. This arm has two sub-cohorts: patients who have been previously treated with KRAS G12C inhibitor and patients who have not received KRAS G12C inhibitor as a prior treatment. ODM-212 has the potential to prevent or overcome treatment resistance to approved KRAS inhibitors in this setting. The third cohort evaluates ODM-212 in combination with chemotherapy (nab-paclitaxel/gemcitabine) for the treatment of metastatic adenocarcinoma of the pancreas aiming to improve treatment efficacy through combination therapy. ODM-212 is an oral small-molecule pan-TEAD (Transcriptional Enhanced Associate Domain) inhibitor developed by Orion Pharma. It targets the Hippo signaling pathway, which regulates cell growth and organ size. Dysregulation of this pathway—particularly through YAP/TAZ activation—can lead to uncontrolled tumour growth and resistance to cancer therapies.

Orion Corporation Decides to Terminate the ODM-111 Development Program Orion Corporation has decided to terminate the ODM-111 development program based on the risk-benefit analysis on the results of a longer non-clinical toxicology study. Recent findings indicate that the profile of the ODM-111 molecule does not support long-term use of ODM-111 and progression to later-stage development. Additionally, it is important to note that both prior non-clinical studies and the clinical Phase I trial with shorter durations of exposure to ODM-111 did not reveal any significant safety concerns. Exceptionally, Orion publishes information about a project in early clinical development stage in a stock exchange release, because in this case, the information is estimated to meet the definition of inside information due to ODM-111’s strategic importance. This does not affect Orion's current disclosure policy, according to which Orion publishes information on its R&D projects mainly in its interim reports and/or press releases, but, as a main rule, provides information on the results of clinical Phase III trials in separate stock exchange releases.

Orion Announces Phase III Aranote Trial of Darolutamide in Combination with Androgen Deprivation Therapy in Men with Metastatic Hormone-Sensitive Prostate Cancer Meets Primary Endpoint Orion announced Phase III ARANOTE trial of darolutamide in combination with androgen deprivation therapy in men with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer meets primary endpoint. Orion and Bayer’s Phase III ARANOTE trial meets primary endpoint, significantly increasing radiological progression-free survival with darolutamide + androgen deprivation therapy compared to placebo plus ADT. Safety analysis shows darolutamide plus ADT to be comparable to placebo plus ADT, reconfirming the established tolerability profile of darolutamide as observed in the ARAMIS and ARASENS trials. Darolutamide plus ADT now has positive data both with and without docetaxel based on two pivotal phase III studies in metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer. Bayer plans to present the pivotal data at a forthcoming scientific congress and prepare for submission with health authorities globally to extend the indication of darolutamide. The Phase III ARANOTE trial, investigating darolutamide plus ADT in patients with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer, has met its primary endpoint of rPFS. Darolutamide plus ADT significantly increased rPFS compared to placebo plus ADT. The safety data were comparable between both treatment arms and reconfirm the established tolerability profile of darolutamide in advanced prostate cancer. Darolutamide is already approved under the brand name Nubeqa for the treatment of patients with non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, who are at high risk of developing metastatic disease, and patients with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer Detailed results of the ARANOTE trial are planned to be presented at a forthcoming scientific congress. Bayer plans to submit the data from the study to relevant global health authorities to support expanded use of darolutamide in men with mHSPC. ARANOTE is part of a robust clinical development program investigating darolutamide across various stages of prostate cancer, which includes the Phase III ARASTEP trial evaluating darolutamide plus ADT versus ADT alone in hormone-sensitive high-risk biochemical recurrence prostate cancer, who have no evidence of metastatic disease by conventional imaging and a positive PSMA PET/CT at baseline. Furthermore, darolutamide is also being investigated by Bayer in the collaborative Phase III DASL-HiCaP (ANZUP1801) trial led by the Australian and New Zealand Urogenital and Prostate Cancer Trials Group. The study evaluates darolutamide as an adjuvant treatment for localized prostate cancer with very high risk of recurrence. The ARANOTE trial is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase III study designed to assess the efficacy and safety of darolutamide plus ADT in patients with mHSPC. A total of 669 patients were randomized to receive 600mg of darolutamide twice daily or matching placebo in addition to ADT. The primary endpoint of this study is rPFS, measured as time from randomization to date of first documented radiological progressive disease or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first. Secondary endpoints include overall survival (time to death from any cause), time to first castration-resistant event, time to initiation of subsequent anti-cancer therapy, time to prostate-specific antigen (PSA) progression, PSA undetectable rates, time to pain progression, and safety assessments.

New Risk • Oct 27
New major risk - Earnings quality The company has a high level of non-cash earnings. Accrual ratio: 25% This is considered a major risk. Non-cash earnings can arise from many different things. However, if a company consistently has a high level of non-cash earnings, it may be a sign that they are recognizing revenue from customers before the full value of the sales are received as cash or they are not depreciating the value of their assets appropriately. These are practices that inflate earnings, while not providing a similar increase to cash flows. Companies in some select industries naturally have a high level of non-cash earnings and it is not a major concern. However, in the worst case scenario it can be an early sign of performance manipulation by management. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk High level of non-cash earnings (25% accrual ratio). Minor Risks Paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows. Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (15% net profit margin). Announcement • Aug 23

Orion Oyj Announces Positive CHMP Opinion for Darolutamide in Combination with Docetaxel for the Treatment of Metastatic Hormone-Sensitive Prostate Cancer The Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) has recommended darolutamide, an oral androgen receptor inhibitor (ARi), plus ADT in combination with docetaxel for marketing authorisation in the European Union (EU) for the treatment of patients with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC). Darolutamide is already approved under the brand name Nubeqa® for the treatment of patients with non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (nmCRPC), who are at high risk of developing metastatic disease. The final decision from the European Commission on the marketing authorisation is expected in the coming months. Darolutamide is already approved in its second indication, mHSPC, in a number of markets including the U.S. Filings in other regions are underway or planned by Orion’s collaboration partner Bayer. Darolutamide is being investigated in a broad development program with additional three ongoing or planned large clinical studies, to investigate its potential across prostate cancer patients from the early- to the late-stage of this disease. This includes the ARANOTE Phase III trial evaluating darolutamide plus androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) versus ADT alone for mHSPC. Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in men in almost all northern and western European countries.1 Only 30% of men with mHSPC will survive five years or more after diagnosis.2 Most men with mHSPC eventually progress to metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), a condition with limited long-term survival. Darolutamide is developed jointly by Orion and Bayer. Bayer is responsible for global commercialisation, with co-promotion from Bayer and Orion in certain European markets, e.g. France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the UK, Scandinavia and Finland.

The approval is based on positive results of the Phase III ARASENS trial that demonstrated darolutamide plus androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) and docetaxel significantly reduced the risk of death by 32.5% in patients with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) compared to ADT plus docetaxel. These results were recently published in The New England Journal of Medicine.1 Darolutamide is approved in more than 70 markets around the world, including the U.S., the European Union (EU), Japan and China, under the brand name Nubeqa®, for the treatment of patients with non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (nmCRPC), who are at high risk of developing metastatic disease. The compound is also being investigated in further studies across various stages of prostate cancer.

The application received Priority Review designation granted by the FDA and was submitted under the FDA’s Real-Time Oncology Review (RTOR) pilot program, which aims to provide a more efficient review process of applications to ensure that safe and effective cancer treatments are available to patients as early as possible. Ongoing reviews are also being conducted under the FDA Oncology Center of Excellence’s (OCE) Project Orbis initiative, which provides a framework for concurrent submission and review of cancer treatments among participating international health authorities.
