(Nasdaq: MRKR), a clinical-stage immuno-oncology company focusing on developing next-generation T cell-based immunotherapies for the treatment of hematological malignancies and solid tumor indications, today announced that the first patient has been treated in the Company\u2019s OTS program, with encouraging preliminary safety data.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Marker is evaluating the safety and efficacy of escalating doses of MT-401, a multi-antigen recognizing (MAR) T cell product targeting four antigens, as an OTS product in the Phase 1 RAPID study (clinicaltrials.gov Identifier: NCT06552416). The first study participant received the OTS product at the initial dose level (100&#215;10<sup>6<\/sup> cells) and was monitored for 28 days. The therapy was well tolerated with no treatment-related adverse events. This observation is consistent with the favorable safety profile and tolerability previously reported for MAR-T cells. The OTS product will be initially tested in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), with the potential to be expanded to other indications.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\u201cThe initiation of our OTS program represents a major achievement,\u201d said Juan Vera, M.D., President and CEO of Marker Therapeutics. \u201cOne of the biggest limitations to cell therapy is the time-consuming manufacturing of individualized products. With our OTS product, we are aiming to remove this bottleneck and provide a fast treatment option for patients with aggressive and rapidly progressing diseases. We believe that using commercially available leukapheresis material from healthy donors can facilitate large-scale manufacturing and expedite treatment as fast as 72 hours, while also enabling broader scalability and accessibility of cell therapies at a lower per-dose cost.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\u201cHaving a rapid available alternative to individualized T cell production allows us to broaden our clinical investigation of MAR-T cells and to extend the OTS program to other indications,\u201d commented Dr. Vera. \u201cLooking ahead, we will remain focused on advancing our clinical investigation of MAR-T cells in lymphoma. We recently reported promising clinical efficacy and durability data from our APOLLO study where we have observed an objective response rate of 66%, with durable complete responses in patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and we believe our lymphoma program has the potential to qualify for expedited approval.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Marker has secured non-dilutive funding from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program and the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas (CPRIT) to support the clinical investigation of the OTS product. Using these allocated non-dilutive funds will allow the Company to proceed with the OTS program without affecting the Company\u2019s runway and its efforts to advance its lead asset, MT-601, in the ongoing Phase 1 APOLLO study in patients with lymphoma. Marker recently reported an update from the APOLLO study (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=17s7-3SmmpmpktNc5wtyQS_aguHGeBdr0WjwzJDlfYdO2fjEI57YSLAz-CA-_WcVZRFW3vY-f7K_zMaghPMRWVtOOl_zeHKwx2yXoQDnp8oms4FvmvH282QaTa7M4dJ75DVU4v0P1ucB0C9Z1_gL-MaiLUZuxQ6orWQFKVAud8zGV8WQGTC3YHJT2s6f0e0nVDHdMVguELbI-R3hUZ5qCjiUxMa45-YoKkFpIx_QQVuT27YiFb_XT4BYIWclEy0w\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Press Release, August 26, 2025<\/a>) highlighting a favorable safety profile and durable clinical responses.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">To facilitate the OTS program, the Company has established a cellular inventory from commercially available leukapheresis material that was carefully selected to cover a large patient population with partially human leukocyte antigen (HLA) matched material. This approach has been validated and extensively tested in the clinic (Leen et al., Blood, 2013; Tzannou et al, Blood Adv, 2019; Tzannou et al, J Clin Oncol, 2017).\u00a0Data from the ongoing RAPID trial will help inform future clinical developments of MAR-T cell products and guide their potential use as an OTS product in other indications.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\u201cBehind this milestone is a set of scientific data and a significant body of research and development. This strategy has been tested extensively in the clinic at Baylor College of Medicine in the context of virus-specific T cells (VST). As we enroll additional patients in the Phase 1 RAPID study, we will continue to closely monitor the safety and long-term treatment effects of our OTS product. The collected data from this trial will serve as a foundation for refining and understanding the performance of MAR-T cells as an OTS product to potentially expand the OTS approach to other product candidates in our pipeline with the goal to accelerate time to treatment in other indications,\u201d concluded Dr. Vera.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n        <strong>About MAR-T cells<\/strong><br \/>\n        <br \/>The multi-antigen recognizing (MAR) T cell platform (formerly known as multiTAA-specific T cells) is a novel, non-genetically modified cell therapy approach that selectively expands tumor-specific T cells from a patient&#8217;s\/donor\u2019s blood capable of recognizing a broad range of tumor antigens. Unlike other T cell therapies, MAR-T cells allow the recognition of hundreds of different epitopes within up to six tumor-specific antigens, thereby reducing the possibility of tumor escape. Since MAR-T cells are not genetically engineered, Marker believes that its product candidates will be easier and less expensive to manufacture, with an improved safety profile compared to current engineered T cell approaches and may provide patients with meaningful clinical benefits.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n        <strong>About the Off-the-Shelf Program<\/strong><br \/>\n        <br \/>MT-401-OTS is an Off-the-Shelf (OTS) multi-antigen recognizing (MAR) T cell product that targets four different tumor antigens upregulated in cancer cells (Survivin, PRAME, NY-ESO-1, WT-1). MT-401-OTS is currently investigated in the Company-sponsored Phase 1 multicenter, open-label RAPID trial (clinicaltrials.gov identifier: NCT06552416) for the treatment of patients with relapsed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). The Company\u2019s OTS program is supported by the National Cancer Institute of the National Institutes of Health (Award Number 1R44CA285177), the Food and Drug Administration Department of Health and Human Services (R01FD007272), and the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas (CPRIT, Award Number DP210042).<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n        <strong>About Marker Therapeutics, Inc.<\/strong><br \/>\n        <br \/>Marker Therapeutics, Inc. is a Houston, TX-based clinical-stage immuno-oncology company specializing in the development of next-generation T cell-based immunotherapies for the treatment of hematological malignancies and solid tumors. The Company was founded at Baylor College of Medicine, and clinical trials that enrolled more than 200 patients across various hematological and solid tumor indications showed that the Company\u2019s autologous and allogeneic MAR-T cell products were well tolerated and demonstrated durable clinical responses. Marker\u2019s goal is to introduce novel T cell therapies to the market and improve patient outcomes. To achieve these objectives, the Company prioritizes the preservation of financial resources and focuses on operational excellence. Marker\u2019s unique T cell platform is strengthened by non-dilutive funding from U.S. state and federal agencies supporting cancer research.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">To receive future press releases via email, please visit: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=UAmtBAn6Sq4tARVytVEv-2FVL57rByu1zSN9AlsywGzyMUz3GJcFInONGHk3pSD1L3CIeT06irptPLWiAqSwMouxWYb3_4ICDPO4Oe_g2ZsiSd7zl1inZX0gnMS7_S-oTuniGfV8kk5jH-cFUjYVDNziaep4rf71tEL1bcuJvVg=\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.markertherapeutics.com\/email-alerts<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n        <strong>Forward-Looking Statements<\/strong><br \/>\n        <br \/>This release contains forward-looking statements for purposes of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
