Initiated Himalayas-1 global Phase 3 trial in patients with mCRPC previously treated with abiraterone Entered into a clinical trial collaboration and supply agreement with Bayer to provide darolutamide for Himalayas-1 Anticipate rinzimetostat program update in 2H 2026 and enozertinib clinical updates in 2H 2026 ahead of potential initiation of a registrational trial Cash and investments of approximately $388 million expected to provide runway into 2H 2028 and beyond anticipated primary endpoint readout from first Phase 3 trial for rinzimetostat SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. and SAN DIEGO, Aug. 03, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ORIC Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: ORIC), a clinical stage oncology company focused on developing and commercializing treatments that address mechanisms of therapeutic resistance, today reported financial results and provided operational updates for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. “The recent initiation of Himalayas-1, a global Phase 3 registrational trial, brings us closer to delivering a potentially practice-changing therapy for patients with prostate cancer,” said Jacob M. Chacko, M.D., president and chief executive officer. “With rinzimetostat now in Phase 3 and enozertinib approaching a key clinical update in the second half of the year, ORIC has become a diversified, late-stage oncology company with multiple opportunities to create meaningful value for patients while advancing our mission of Overcoming Resistance In Cancer.” Second Quarter 2026 and Other Recent Highlights Rinzimetostat: a potent and selective allosteric inhibitor of PRC2 Finalized the trial protocol and initiated the Himalayas-1 global Phase 3 registrational trial following End-of-Phase 1 interactions with the FDA and other global health authorities. The Himalayas-1 trial is expected to enroll approximately 600 patients from over 250 sites in 25 countries, randomized 1:1 to receive 400 mg once daily rinzimetostat (with or without food) in combination with darolutamide versus physician’s choice of an androgen receptor (AR) inhibitor or docetaxel. The primary endpoint is radiographic progression-free survival and the key secondary endpoint is overall survival. Entered into a clinical trial collaboration and supply agreement with Bayer to provide darolutamide for Himalayas-1. Under the terms of the agreement, the company will conduct and sponsor the Himalayas-1 trial and Bayer will provide their AR inhibitor, NUBEQA® (darolutamide), at no cost for use in the trial in combination with rinzimetostat. This agreement does not grant Bayer any license, option, or other rights to rinzimetostat and ORIC retains full global development and commercial rights to rinzimetostat. Presented preclinical data at AACR showing PRC2 inhibition reduces prostate tumor adaptability and sustains the benefit derived from AR inhibition, with potential advantages of EED over EZH2 inhibition. Enozertinib: a brain-penetrant, selective inhibitor targeting EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations and EGFR atypical mutationsEnozertinib is currently being evaluated in Phase 1b trials across the following first-line patient populations with advanced NSCLC: As a single-agent in patients with EGFR atypical mutations. As a single-agent in patients with EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations. In combination with subcutaneous (SC) amivantamab and in combination with chemotherapy in patients with EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations. Anticipated Program Milestones: ORIC anticipates the following upcoming milestones: Rinzimetostat in mCRPC: Enozertinib in NSCLC: Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results Cash, Cash Equivalents and Investments: Cash, cash equivalents and investments totaled $387.6 million as of June 30, 2026, which includes $59.9 million in net proceeds raised from healthcare specialist funds during the first quarter under the ATM (at-the-market) program. The company expects its cash and investments to fund the operating plan into 2H 2028. R&D Expenses: Research and development (R&D) expenses were $36.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $30.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, an increase of $5.7 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, R&D expenses were $67.7 million, compared to $55.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, an increase of $12.5 million. The increases were primarily due to an increase in external expenses related to the advancement of rinzimetostat, offset by lower enozertinib costs due to timing of manufacturing and clinical costs as well as lower preclinical costs. G&A Expenses: General and administrative (G&A) expenses were $9.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $8.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, an increase of $0.5 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, G&A expenses were $17.2 million, compared to $16.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, an increase of $0.6 million.

Announced selection of rinzimetostat RP3D in combination with darolutamide for Himalayas-1 Phase 3 global registrational trial in post-abiraterone mCRPC, expected to initiate in 1H 2026 Reported rinzimetostat data in post-abiraterone mCRPC supporting potential best-in-disease profile, including a highly differentiated safety profile and landmark rPFS consistent with competitor PRC2 inhibitor and substantially better than standard of care therapies in mCRPC Reported early rinzimetostat data in post-AR inhibitor mCRPC, demonstrating promising durability and reinforcing rinzimetostat’s potential to restore and sustain the benefit derived from AR inhibitors Anticipate rinzimetostat program update in 2H 2026 and several enozertinib clinical updates in 2H 2026 ahead of potential initiation of a registrational trial Cash and investments of approximately $420 million expected to provide runway into 2H 2028 and beyond anticipated primary endpoint readout from first Phase 3 trial for rinzimetostat SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO and SAN DIEGO, May 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ORIC Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: ORIC), a clinical stage oncology company focused on developing treatments that address mechanisms of therapeutic resistance, today reported financial results and provided operational updates for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. “The first quarter marked a pivotal step for ORIC as we selected our Phase 3 dose for rinzimetostat, reported data supporting a potential best-in-disease profile, and moved toward the initiation of Himalayas-1, our first registrational trial,” said Jacob M. Chacko, M.D., president and chief executive officer. “With a strong cash position and multiple enozertinib clinical updates expected later this year, we see a clear path to building ORIC into a multi-asset, late-stage oncology company.” First Quarter 2026 and Other Recent Highlights Rinzimetostat: a potent and selective allosteric inhibitor of PRC2 Announced the selection of rinzimetostat 400 mg once daily as the Recommended Phase 3 Dose (RP3D) in combination with darolutamide for the Himalayas-1 Phase 3 global trial in post-abiraterone mCRPC. Reported rinzimetostat dose optimization data in post-abiraterone mCRPC supporting potential best-in-disease profile. As of the March 2026 presentation cutoff dates, rinzimetostat 400 mg once daily in combination with darolutamide demonstrated compelling safety and efficacy across multiple endpoints: The vast majority of treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) were Grade 1 in severity and consistent with PRC2 and androgen receptor (AR) inhibition. A single Grade 3 TRAE was observed, and no Grade 4 or 5 AEs were attributed to rinzimetostat or darolutamide. Dose modifications were rare (one interruption and one discontinuation), with no dose reductions required. With a median follow up of 4.9 months, landmark rPFS rates of 93%, 84%, and 84% at 3, 4, and 5 months, respectively, are consistent with the competitor PRC2 inhibitor currently in Phase 3 in post-abiraterone mCRPC patients and superior to available standard-of-care therapies, including Xtandi®, Jevtana®, Taxotere®, and Pluvicto®. For reference, the 5-month landmark rPFS for these approved therapies ranges from approximately 60% to 75%. 47% of patients (7/15) achieved a PSA50 response, with 33% (5/15) confirmed. Impressive ctDNA reductions observed across a range of AR mutations, with 71% of patients (10/14) achieving >50% ctDNA reduction. Reported early rinzimetostat dose optimization data in patients with mCRPC previously treated with AR inhibitors. Rinzimetostat 400 mg once daily in combination with the AR inhibitor darolutamide demonstrated compelling landmark rPFS rates of 93%, 85%, and 85% at 3, 4, and 5 months, respectively, with a median follow-up of 4.8 months. For reference, the clinical benefit of androgen receptor pathway inhibitors in this setting is limited; for example, Zytiga® has demonstrated a median rPFS of 3.4 months. Presented preclinical data at AACR showing PRC2 inhibition reduces tumor adaptability and sustains the benefit derived from AR inhibition, with potential advantages of EED over EZH2 inhibition. Enozertinib: a brain-penetrant, selective inhibitor targeting EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations and EGFR atypical mutations Completed enrollment in the Phase 1b trial of enozertinib as a single-agent in first-line patients with advanced NSCLC harboring EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations. Continue to enroll Phase 1b trial of enozertinib as a single-agent in first-line patients with advanced NSCLC harboring EGFR atypical mutations. Continue to enroll Phase 1b trial of enozertinib in combination with subcutaneous (SC) amivantamab in first-line patients with advanced NSCLC harboring EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations. Anticipated Program Milestones: ORIC anticipates the following upcoming milestones: Rinzimetostat in mCRPC: 1H 2026: Initiate Himalayas-1 global Phase 3 registrational trial in post-abiraterone mCRPC 2H 2026: Program update Enozertinib in NSCLC: 2H 2026: 1L EGFR atypical monotherapy data 2H 2026: 1L EGFR exon 20 insertion monotherapy data and combination data with SC amivantamab First Quarter 2026 Financial Results Cash, Cash Equivalents and Investments: Cash, cash equivalents and investments totaled $419.7 million as of March 31, 2026, which includes $59.9 million in net proceeds raised from healthcare specialist funds during the quarter under the ATM (at-the-market) program. The company expects its cash and investments to fund the operating plan into 2H 2028. R&D Expenses: Research and development (R&D) expenses were $31.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $24.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, an increase of $6.8 million. The increase was primarily due to an increase in external expenses related to the advancement of rinzimetostat and enozertinib, offset primarily by lower preclinical costs. G&A Expenses: General and administrative (G&A) expenses were $8.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, relatively consistent with $8.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

(Nasdaq: ORIC), a clinical stage oncology company focused on developing treatments that address mechanisms of therapeutic resistance, today reported financial results and operational updates for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2025. “2025 was a transformational year for ORIC highlighted by clinical data that further demonstrated the potential best-in-class profiles of rinzimetostat in prostate cancer and enozertinib in lung cancer,” said Jacob M. Chacko, M.D., president and chief executive officer. “Those data, along with substantially extended cash runway, position us well for 2026 and beyond as we advance our programs towards registrational studies.” 2025 Key Accomplishments Rinzimetostat: a potent and selective allosteric inhibitor of PRC2 Completed Phase 1b dose exploration in prostate cancer and selected provisional recommended Phase 2 doses (RP2Ds) of rinzimetostat to be tested in combination with the approved doses of darolutamide and apalutamide in dose optimization. Reported potential best-in-class efficacy and safety dose exploration data in combination with darolutamide and with apalutamide in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Data demonstrated: PSA responses and ctDNA reductions across all rinzimetostat dose levels and at comparable rates in combination with apalutamide or with darolutamide. Broad and deep PSA responses that compare favorably to competitor PRC2 inhibitors, with 55% of patients (11/20) achieving a PSA50 response (confirmed in 40%), and 20% of patients (4/20) achieving a PSA90 response (all confirmed). Rapid and deep ctDNA responses across a breadth of AR mutations and other gene alterations, with 76% (13/17) achieving > 50% ctDNA reduction, and 59% (10/17) achieving ctDNA clearance, which is greater than clearance rates observed in precedent trials with standard of care agents in comparable mCRPC patient populations. Both combination regimens demonstrated a clearly differentiated safety profile compatible with long-term dosing, with the vast majority of treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) Grade 1 or 2 in severity and consistent with PRC2 and AR inhibition. Presented preclinical data at the EORTC-NCI-AACR Symposium on Molecular Targets and Cancer Therapeutics demonstrating potential utility of rinzimetostat combined with AR inhibition in castration-sensitive prostate cancer and combined with KRAS inhibition in KRAS G12C-mutant NSCLC and colorectal cancer models. Enozertinib: a brain-penetrant inhibitor that selectively targets EGFR exon 20 and EGFR PACC mutations Reported potential best-in-class efficacy and safety data from a Phase 1b trial of enozertinib at the ESMO Asia Congress 2025 in NSCLC patients with EGFR exon 20 and EGFR PACC mutations. Data demonstrated: Systemic activity in 2L EGFR exon 20 and pretreated EGFR PACC exceeding competitor benchmarks. Highly competitive preliminary 1L systemic activity, with 67% ORR in EGFR exon 20 and 80% ORR in EGFR PACC. Convincing 1L CNS activity, with 100% intracranial ORR in EGFR exon 20 and 100% intracranial ORR in EGFR PACC in patients with measurable CNS disease, including in patients with active brain metastases. Competitive safety profile, with no significant off-target toxicity, resulting in low rate of treatment discontinuations. Announced a clinical trial collaboration and supply agreement with Johnson & Johnson to evaluate enozertinib in combination with amivantamab and hyaluronidase-lpuj subcutaneous injection (SC amivantamab) for the 1L treatment of NSCLC patients with EGFR exon 20 mutations. Announced publication in Cancer Research of preclinical data demonstrating enozertinib’s exquisite selectivity, strong potency, brain penetrance, and antitumor activity across a broad range of EGFR exon 20 and PACC mutant models.

Earlier this month, ORIC Pharmaceuticals announced new efficacy and safety results from its Phase 1b trial of ORIC-944 in combination with AR inhibitors for patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, alongside its third quarter 2025 earnings report showing a net loss of US$32.59 million. The clinical trial results revealed promising prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) reductions, supporting ongoing dose optimization and potential entry into a Phase 3 registrational trial in 2026. We will explore how this recent positive clinical data for ORIC-944 could influence ORIC Pharmaceuticals' investment narrative amid analyst optimism. This technology could replace computers: discover 26 stocks that are working to make quantum computing a reality. For anyone considering ORIC Pharmaceuticals right now, the big-picture case centers on belief in its ability to translate encouraging early-phase trial results into potential late-stage and commercial success, particularly with ORIC-944 in advanced prostate cancer. The new clinical data just released boosts the importance and credibility of upcoming milestones, like the Phase 1b dose optimization results in early 2026 and the expected move toward a Phase 3 trial. This fresh update meaningfully improves the investment narrative, as it builds analyst confidence and could accelerate institutional interest, but it does not erase the central risk that the company remains unprofitable and has not yet generated any meaningful revenue. The main short-term catalyst is the next data readout, which now carries more weight, while the risk is sustained cash burn and potential dilution if future trials don’t deliver as hoped. In short, the latest results lift near-term optimism, but investor conviction will continue to hinge on pivotal study outcomes. But remember, future funding needs could put pressure on existing shareholders if things take longer than expected. In light of our recent valuation report, it seems possible that ORIC Pharmaceuticals is trading beyond its estimated value. The Simply Wall St Community submitted 1 fair value estimate for ORIC Pharmaceuticals, clustering tightly around US$19.92 per share.

Announced completion of dose exploration portion of ORIC-944 Phase 1b clinical trial and presented data that continues to demonstrate potential best-in-class efficacy and safety Bolstered leadership team with the appointment of Kevin Brodbeck, PhD, as Chief Technical Officer to further support ORIC’s transition to potential late-stage development Cash and investments of approximately $413 million expected to provide runway into 2H 2028 and beyond anticipated primary endpoint readouts from first Phase 3 trials for ORIC-944 and enozertinib (ORIC-114) Expects to report four clinical data readouts across ORIC-944 and enozertinib (ORIC-114) programs through mid-2026, ahead of potential initiation of registrational trials for both programs in 2026 SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. and SAN DIEGO, Nov. 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ORIC Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: ORIC), a clinical stage oncology company focused on developing treatments that address mechanisms of therapeutic resistance, today reported financial results and provided clinical and operational updates for the quarter ended September 30, 2025. “In the first nine months of 2025, we continued to advance toward the potential initiation of Phase 3 trials for ORIC-944 in prostate cancer and enozertinib in lung cancer. The ORIC-944 Phase 1b data announced today further support its potential best-in-class efficacy and safety profile, and we look forward to sharing clinical data for enozertinib later this year that will highlight its best-in-class potential,” said Jacob M. Chacko, M.D., president and chief executive officer. “Backed by compelling clinical data and a strong cash position, we remain focused on rapidly advancing these programs to registrational studies and, ultimately, commercialization.” Third Quarter 2025 and Other Recent Highlights ORIC-944: a potent and selective allosteric inhibitor of PRC2 Announced the completion of the dose exploration portion of the Phase 1b trial and the selection of provisional recommended Phase 2 doses (RP2Ds) of ORIC-944 to be tested in combination with the approved doses of darolutamide and apalutamide in the dose optimization portion of the Phase 1b trial: 400 mg and 600 mg once daily of ORIC-944 in combination with 600 mg twice daily of darolutamide; and 600 mg, 800 mg and 1,200 mg once daily of ORIC-944 in combination with 240 mg once daily of apalutamide. Reported preliminary efficacy and safety data from the Phase 1b dose exploration trial of ORIC-944 in combination with androgen receptor (AR) inhibitors in 20 patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), which includes 17 patients previously reported in May 2025. Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) was assessed for 17 patients with mCRPC who had available ctDNA samples and evidence of ctDNA at baseline prior to study entry. The data reported as of September 22, 2025 demonstrated: PSA responses and ctDNA reductions across all ORIC-944 dose levels and at comparable rates in combination with apalutamide or with darolutamide. Broad and deep PSA responses, with 55% of patients (11/20) achieving a PSA50 response (confirmed in 40%), and 20% of patients (4/20) achieving a PSA90 response (all confirmed). Rapid and deep ctDNA responses across a breadth of AR mutations and other gene alterations, with 76% (13/17) achieving > 50% ctDNA reduction, and 59% (10/17) achieving ctDNA clearance, which is greater than clearance rates observed in precedent trials with standard of care agents in comparable mCRPC patient populations. Both combination regimens demonstrated a safety profile compatible with long-term dosing, with the vast majority of treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) Grade 1 or 2 in severity and consistent with PRC2 and AR inhibition. Only one patient experienced a Grade 3 TRAE, and there were no Grade 4 or Grade 5 AEs attributed to ORIC-944, apalutamide or darolutamide. Presented two posters at the EORTC-NCI-AACR Symposium on Molecular Targets and Cancer Therapeutics. In castration-sensitive prostate cancer models, ORIC-944 combined with AR inhibition synergistically suppressed tumor growth, extended survival, and prolonged response duration by limiting cellular plasticity and delaying tumor adaptation. In KRAS G12C-mutant NSCLC and colorectal cancer models, ORIC-944 plus KRAS inhibition improved efficacy and progression-free survival, suggesting PRC2 inhibition may deepen and extend responses by preventing or delaying resistance to KRAS inhibitors. Enozertinib: a brain-penetrant inhibitor that selectively targets EGFR exon 20, EGFR atypical, and HER2 exon 20 mutations The World Health Organization International Nonproprietary Names (INN) expert committee approved “enozertinib” as the nonproprietary (generic) name for ORIC-114. Announced publication in Cancer Research, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research, detailing preclinical data demonstrating enozertinib’s exquisite selectivity, strong potency, brain-penetrance, and anti-tumor activity across a broad range of EGFR atypical mutant models, including intracranial lung cancer xenografts. Continue to enroll Phase 1b trial of enozertinib as a single-agent in patients with advanced NSCLC with EGFR exon 20, EGFR atypical, and HER2 exon 20 mutations, including patients with CNS metastases that are either treated or untreated but asymptomatic, across our 1L expansion cohorts; 2L+ dose optimization cohorts now fully enrolled. Continue to enroll Phase 1b trial of enozertinib in combination with subcutaneous (SC) amivantamab in 1L NSCLC patients with EGFR exon 20 mutations. Corporate Highlights: Announced the appointment of Kevin Brodbeck, PhD, to the newly established role of Chief Technical Officer (CTO). As previously disclosed, the company raised $108.7 million in net proceeds under the ATM (at-the-market) program in the third quarter, including participation from healthcare specialist funds. Anticipated Program Milestones: ORIC anticipates the following upcoming data milestones: ORIC-944 (mCRPC): 1Q 2026: Combination dose optimization data with AR inhibitor(s) Enozertinib (NSCLC): December 2025: 1L EGFR exon 20, 2L EGFR exon 20, 2L+ EGFR atypical, and 2L+ HER2 exon 20 data to be presented at ESMO Asia 2025 Mid-2026: 1L EGFR atypical data and 1L EGFR exon 20 combination with SC amivantamab data Third Quarter 2025 Financial Results Cash, Cash Equivalents and Investments: Cash, cash equivalents and investments totaled $413.0 million as of September 30, 2025, which includes proceeds from the $125.0 million private placement financing in May 2025 and $117.6 million in net proceeds raised during the year under the ATM program. The company expects its cash and investments to fund the operating plan into 2H 2028. R&D Expenses: Research and development (R&D) expenses were $28.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $31.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, a decrease of $2.4 million. The decrease was due to lower ORIC-944 drug manufacturing costs and lower costs from discontinued programs, offset by higher personnel costs, including additional non-cash stock-based compensation, and costs related to the advancement of enozertinib. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, R&D expenses were $84.0 million, compared to $82.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $1.9 million. The increase was due to higher personnel costs, including additional non-cash stock-based compensation, and costs related to the advancement of enozertinib, offset by lower ORIC-944 drug manufacturing costs and lower costs from discontinued programs. G&A Expenses: General and administrative (G&A) expenses were $7.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $7.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $0.8 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, G&A expenses were $24.5 million, compared to $21.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $3.3 million. The increases were primarily due to higher personnel costs and professional services, including additional non-cash stock-based compensation. About ORIC Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

Reported potentially best-in-class clinical efficacy and safety data from ongoing Phase 1b trial of ORIC-944 in combination with AR inhibitors for the treatment of patients with mCRPC Strengthened cash position with $244 million gross proceeds from top-tier healthcare specialist investors across $125 million private placement financing and $119 million ATM issuances; Following recent financing activity, ORIC concludes anticipated ATM facility usage In anticipation of potential initiation of registrational trials in 2026 for ORIC-944 and ORIC-114 (enozertinib), the company has revised its operating plan to substantially reduce investment in discovery research Under the revised operating plan and with the additional financing, cash and investments expected to provide runway into 2H 2028 (previously 2H 2027) and beyond anticipated primary endpoint readouts from first Phase 3 trials for ORIC-944 and ORIC-114 (enozertinib) SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. and SAN DIEGO, Aug. 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ORIC Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: ORIC), a clinical stage oncology company focused on developing treatments that address mechanisms of therapeutic resistance, today reported financial results and operational updates for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. “In the first half of the year, we’ve continued to make steady progress towards the potential initiation of Phase 3 studies in 2026 for ORIC-944 in prostate cancer and ORIC-114 (now enozertinib) in lung cancer, and we were pleased to further strengthen our cash position and runway with recent financing activity,” stated Jacob M. Chacko, M.D., president and chief executive officer. “As our clinical programs have progressed closer to registrational studies, it necessitates that we increase our focus and direct our expenditures solely on those programs, and so we’ve made the tough, but prudent, decision to substantially reduce our investment in discovery research. This reprioritization and additional financing further extend our cash runway into the second half of 2028. It’s with a heavy heart that we say goodbye to our colleagues impacted by the resulting workforce reduction. We are grateful for their many contributions to ORIC, we’re deeply sorry for the upheaval they are experiencing, and we sincerely hope to honor them by advancing our clinical pipeline to benefit patients as rapidly as possible.” Second Quarter 2025 and Other Recent Highlights ORIC-944: a potent and selective allosteric inhibitor of PRC2 Reported preliminary efficacy and safety data in May 2025, from the ongoing Phase 1b trial of ORIC-944 in combination with AR inhibitors, supporting the potential of ORIC-944 as a best-in-class PRC2 inhibitor that may benefit a broad range of patients with prostate cancer. The data reported as of the May 2025 presentation cutoff dates included: Broad and deep PSA responses achieved, with 59% PSA50 response rate (confirmed rate of 47%) and 24% PSA90 response rate (all confirmed) in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). PSA responses were observed across all ORIC-944 dose levels and at comparable rates in combination with apalutamide and with darolutamide; majority of patients were still ongoing with multiple patients approaching one year or more. Both combination regimens demonstrated a safety profile compatible with long term dosing, with the vast majority of adverse events Grade 1 or 2 and no Grade 4 events. Presented preclinical ORIC-944 data at the 2025 AACR Annual Meeting demonstrating synergistic activity and improved progression-free survival when combined with androgen receptor pathway inhibitors in both castration-resistant and castration-sensitive prostate cancer models, validating the clinical exploration of ORIC-944 across the continuum of prostate cancer. Enozertinib (formerly ORIC-114): a brain penetrant inhibitor that selectively targets EGFR exon 20, HER2 exon 20 and EGFR atypical mutations Continue to enroll Phase 1b trial of enozertinib as a single-agent in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with EGFR exon 20, HER2 exon 20, or EGFR atypical mutations, including patients with CNS metastases that are either treated or untreated but asymptomatic, across our 2L+ dose optimization cohorts and 1L expansion cohorts. Continue to enroll Phase 1b trial of enozertinib in combination with subcutaneous (SC) amivantamab in 1L NSCLC patients with EGFR exon 20 mutations. The World Health Organization International Nonproprietary Names (INN) expert committee has approved “enozertinib” as the nonproprietary (generic) name for ORIC-114. Corporate Highlights: Completed a $125 million private placement financing with participation from new and existing healthcare specialist funds and $119 million in issuances from the ATM (at-the-market) facility. Given current cash and investment position, the Company concluded ATM usage and doesn’t expect to utilize the ATM facility for the foreseeable future. Announced strategic pipeline prioritization to focus operational and financial resources on the continued advancement of the two lead clinical programs, ORIC-944 and enozertinib. This initiative will result in the elimination of the discovery research group with a corresponding 20% workforce reduction. The Company expects to incur a one-time charge of approximately $1.9 million in the third quarter, primarily related to termination benefits, including severance and healthcare-related benefits. The Company will explore potential partnering of its preclinical programs. As a result of the strategic pipeline prioritization, cash runway is expected to fund the revised operating plan into 2H 2028 (previously 2H 2027), which is beyond anticipated primary endpoint readouts from the first Phase 3 trials for ORIC-944 and enozertinib. Anticipated Program Milestones: ORIC anticipates the following upcoming data milestones: ORIC-944 (mCRPC): 2H 2025: Updated Phase 1b combination data with AR inhibitor(s) 1Q 2026: Combination dose optimization data with AR inhibitor(s) Enozertinib (ORIC-114) (NSCLC): 2H 2025: 1L EGFR exon 20, 2L EGFR exon 20, 2L+ HER2 exon 20 and 2L+ EGFR atypical data Mid-2026: 1L EGFR atypical data and 1L EGFR exon 20 combination with SC amivantamab data Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results Cash, Cash Equivalents and Investments: Cash, cash equivalents and investments totaled $327.7 million as of June 30, 2025, which includes proceeds from $125.0 million private placement financing in May 2025 and $8.9 million in proceeds from an at-the-market offering of common stock during the quarter. Subsequent to the quarter ended June 30, 2025, the Company raised an additional $108.7 million in net proceeds under the ATM program resulting in proforma cash and investments of $436.4 million as of June 30, 2025. The Company now expects its cash and investments to fund the revised operating plan into 2H 2028. R&D Expenses: Research and development (R&D) expenses were $30.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $28.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, an increase of $1.6 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, R&D expenses were $55.2 million, compared to $50.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, an increase of $4.3 million. The increases were due to higher personnel costs, including additional non-cash stock-based compensation, and costs related to the advancement of enozertinib, offset primarily by lower costs from discontinued programs. G&A Expenses: General and administrative (G&A) expenses were $8.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $7.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, an increase of $1.4 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, G&A expenses were $16.6 million, compared to $14.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, an increase of $2.5 million.
