SELLAS Life Sciences Reports First Quarter 2026 Financial Results and Provides Corporate Update

– Contract Research Organization for the Pivotal Phase 3 REGAL Trial of Galinpepimut-S (GPS) in Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) Informed the Company that 78 Events have Occurred in the Trial as of May 11, 2026; SELLAS Remains Blinded to Trial Outcomes –

– Final Analysis of REGAL Trial of GPS in AML to be Conducted Following the 80th Event –

– Ongoing Dosing of Patients in Phase 2 Trial of SLS009 in Newly Diagnosed First Line AML –

–$107.1 Million in Cash and Cash Equivalents as of March 31, 2026; Additional $7.5 Million in Proceeds Received in Q2 2026 to Date through Warrant Exercises –

NEW YORK, NY May 12, 2026 -- SELLAS Life Sciences Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: SLS) (“SELLAS’’ or the “Company”), a late-stage clinical biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of novel therapies for a broad range of cancer indications, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026, and provided a corporate update.

“The first quarter of 2026 marked an important period for SELLAS as we continued to execute across our clinical programs while preparing for the anticipated pivotal Phase 3 REGAL trial data readout,” said Angelos Stergiou, MD, ScD h.c., President and Chief Executive Officer of SELLAS. “We are grateful for the ongoing commitment of the patients, caregivers, and investigators participating in the pivotal Phase 3 REGAL trial and we believe that the upcoming results, triggered by reaching the pre-specified 80th event, will be an important milestone for the Company.”

“In parallel, we are generating increasingly compelling data with SLS009, including recent preclinical findings presented at AACR demonstrating potent, mechanistically driven activity in AML through suppression of key survival pathways such as MCL-1 and induction of apoptosis, including in high-risk genetic subtypes like TP53 and ASXL1 mutations. Importantly, we have begun dosing patients in our Phase 2 study of SLS009 in newly diagnosed, first-line AML, targeting high-risk populations unlikely to benefit from standard therapies, including venetoclax. With REGAL approaching its critical readout and SLS009 advancing across clinical and translational fronts, we believe that SELLAS is entering an exciting time with multiple, high-value potential catalysts that could transform the AML treatment landscape.”

Recent Corporate Highlights:

Phase 3 REGAL Trial of GPS: Ongoing Phase 3 REGAL trial evaluating GPS in AML patients who have achieved complete remission following second-line salvage therapy. Reaching the required pre-specified 80th event (death) will trigger the customary database lock, blinded data review procedures prior to statistical analysis, unblinding, and disclosure of topline results. As of May 11, 2026, 78 events have occurred and SELLAS will provide an update and announce when the 80th event has been reached.

Ongoing dosing of SLS009 in earlier-line AML: SELLAS has initiated an 80-patient Phase 2 trial in newly diagnosed AML patients, including those who become refractory early to AZA/VEN treatment identified through extensive transcriptomics, genomics, and proteomics models. The

topline data are expected in Q4 2026. Additional information about the trial can be found at clinicaltrials.gov (NCT04588922).

Preclinical Data on SLS009 in AML Presented at the 2026 American Association for Cancer Research (AACR): The data show that SLS009 induces apoptosis in AML cell lines, including those harboring high-risk ASXL1 and TP53 mutations. Pharmacodynamic changes were observed as early as 8 hours after treatment and became more pronounced over time, with reductions in MCL-1 and survivin levels that correlated with increased apoptosis. The poster, entitled “Tambiciclib (SLS009), a CDK9 inhibitor, promotes apoptosis and suppresses MCL-1 levels in AML cell lines,” can be viewed here.

At-the-Market (ATM) Offering: SELLAS established an ATM equity offering under its S-3ASR shelf registration, providing the Company with the ability to raise up to $150 million in capital over time. The facility, to be utilized through TD Cowen, enables flexible and opportunistic access to the equity markets. The Company has not sold any shares of common stock through its ATM to date.

Financial Results for the First Quarter 2026:

Research and Development Expenses: Research and development expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, were $5.1 million, compared to $3.2 million for the same period in 2025. The increase was primarily due to increases in manufacturing costs, clinical and regulatory consulting, and clinical trial expenses in preparation for a potential Biologics License Application for GPS following the final analysis of the REGAL study.

General and Administrative Expenses: General and administrative expenses for the first quarter of 2026 were $4.1 mil

NEW YORK, NY March 19, 2026 -- SELLAS Life Sciences Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: SLS) (“SELLAS’’ or the “Company”), a late-stage clinical biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of novel therapies for a broad range of cancer indications, today reported financial results for the full year ended December 31, 2025, and provided a corporate update.

“Based upon continued progress in our GPS and SLS009 clinical programs in AML, we believe 2026 is shaping up to be a pivotal year for SELLAS,” said Angelos Stergiou, MD, ScD h.c., President and Chief Executive Officer of SELLAS. “We are advancing toward the final analysis of our Phase 3 REGAL trial evaluating GPS in AML patients who have achieved complete remission following second-line salvage therapy. Once we reach the required pre-specified 80th event, which will be announced, we will proceed with the necessary procedures towards database lock completion, statistical analysis, unblinding, and disclosure of topline results. If positive, REGAL could position GPS as a first- and best-in-class immunotherapeutic option in this AML population and serve as a significant value-inflection point for SELLAS.”

Dr. Stergiou continued, “We also continue to make significant progress in our SLS009 clinical program for AML. Following the positive Phase 2 results of SLS009 in r/r AML presented at ASH, particularly in high-risk molecular subtypes, we have now dosed the first patient in the expansion cohort, which is evaluating SLS009 in newly diagnosed, first-line AML patients. Additionally, our preclinical data presented at ESMO in T-PLL demonstrated a statistically significant survival benefit of SLS009 both as monotherapy and in combination with venetoclax in a patient-derived xenograft model, further supporting the breadth of the CKD9 inhibition strategy. With a catalyst rich outlook, continued clinical execution, our strongest financial position in history and expansion into earlier treatment settings, we look forward to an important year ahead.”

Recent Corporate Highlights:

European Collaboration to Advance SLS009 Clinical Program: In January 2026, SELLAS entered into a strategic collaboration with IMPACT-AML to expand SLS009 clinical program in Europe. Under the agreement, IMPACT-AML’s STREAM clinical network will conduct a study of SLS009 in combination with AZA/VEN in newly diagnosed AML patients. The enrollment of approximately 40 patients in Europe is anticipated in Q2 2026.

Phase 3 REGAL Trial of GPS: On December 29, 2025, the Company provided an update on the pivotal Phase 3 REGAL trial, announcing that a total of 72 events had been recorded as of December 26, 2025, with the study remaining fully blinded. After reaching the required pre-specified 80th event, customary database lock and blinded data review procedures must be completed before statistical analysis, unblinding, and disclosure of topline results. Because the final analysis is event-driven, the timing of studies with overall survival as an endpoint can vary; SELLAS will announce the 80th event when it occurs.

Phase 2 SLS009 in r/r AML: On December 7, 2025, the Company announced that clinical data from its ongoing Phase 2 study of SLS009, in combination with azacitidine (AZA) and venetoclax (VEN) for the treatment of patients with r/r AML with myelodysplastic syndrome-related changes (AML-MR) after prior VEN-based treatment were presented at the 67th American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting and Exposition in December 2025. SLS009 in combination with AZA/VEN demonstrated clinically meaningful activity in patients with R/R AML-MR, and among the 35 evaluable patients, the overall response rate (CR/Cri/MLFS) was 46%, including 29% achieving CR/CRi. Patients harboring ASXL1 or TP53 mutations achieved response rates of 48% and 57%, respectively. The median overall survival (mOS) was exceedingly higher than the expected 2.6 months in this R/R AML patient population, and in the least pretreated cohort, mOS reached 8.9 months. Across all cohorts, patients with one prior line of therapy experienced the greatest benefit, with a 58% response rate and mOS not yet reached. No dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) or treatment-related deaths were observed, and the combination was well tolerated.
