Third Quarter and Recent Corporate Highlights

· Closed a securities purchase agreement with certain institutional investors for a private placement financing that, based on potential milestone payments, is expected to result in gross proceeds of up to $102.9 million, including an initial funding of $24.5 million. The PIPE was priced at the company’s common stock closing price on September 1, 2023, of $1.82 per share. The financing was led by Rosalind Advisors with participation from AIGH Capital, ADAR1, Second Line, Nantahala Capital, AuGC and other new and existing institutional investors.

· Received European Medicines Agency Priority Medicines (PRIME) Designation for iopofosine I 131 for Waldenstrom’s macroglobulinemia in patients who have received two or more prior treatment regimens. The PRIME designation was awarded based upon data from a pre-planned interim assessment in the pivotal study and six patients from the Phase 2a. PRIME designation is accorded to new therapies that demonstrate the potential to significantly address an unmet medical need in clinical trials. Also, it allows companies to optimize development plans and accelerate evaluation of medicines that may offer a major therapeutic advantage over existing treatments or benefit patients without treatment options.

· Continued engagement with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) providing additional regulatory clarity on the pivotal clinical trial and planned new drug application (NDA) submission in 2024. This includes direct feedback on key sections of the NDA and input around the design of a confirmatory study to support the accelerated approval strategy.

· Expanded the company’s global intellectual property portfolio with the addition of four patent grants. The patents, which are valid across key global regions of Europe, Australia, and Canada, cover iopofosine I 131 and the company’s proprietary Phospholipid Drug ConjugateTM (PDC) delivery platform.

· Enhanced the company’s commercial leadership team with the appointment of two new seasoned executives, William Yoon as vice president, medical affairs and Aaditya Nanduri as vice president, business strategy and analytics.

"We continue to collect and evaluate patient data from our pivotal trial and expect to announce top-line data the week of January 8, 2024. We view this data announcement as a potentially transformational event for Cellectar and as such merits optimal market and industry awareness, which the JP Morgan conference provides. As we prepare to announce trial data, we continue to work with the FDA and progress the NDA submission while advancing our commercialization readiness," said James Caruso, president and CEO of Cellectar. "With the recent financing providing up to $102.9 million in funding, we believe the company is well positioned for success with a clearly differentiated lead asset poised to establish a new standard of care for patients with relapsed or refractory WM."

Preliminary Third Quarter 2023 Financial Highlights

· Cash and Cash Equivalents: As of September 30, 2023, the company had cash and cash equivalents of $19.0 million, compared to $19.9 million as of December 31, 2022. During the third quarter, the company entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain institutional investors for a private placement financing that is expected to result in gross proceeds of up to $102.9 million, based upon achievement of certain milestones. Current cash includes an initial funding of $22.2 million from the transaction, net of commissions and fees. The company believes its cash on hand is adequate to fund budgeted operations into the second quarter of 2024.

· Research and Development Expense: R&D expense for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was approximately $7.3 million, compared to approximately $5.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The overall increase in research and development expense was primarily a result of an increase in WM pivotal trial patient enrollment and expansion of the central nervous system lymphoma cohort of the company’s Phase 2a basket trial in blood-borne malignancies as well as initiating its pediatric study in high-grade gliomas.

· General and Administrative Expense: G&A expense for the three months ended September 30, 2023, was $2.1 million, compared to $2.4 million for the same period in 2022. The overall decrease in G&A costs was primarily driven by reduced professional fees.

"During the third quarter, we were pleased to complete enrollment of our Phase 2 chronic spontaneous urticaria study well ahead of schedule. We look forward to presenting topline data from this study by end of year as we also plan for the potential advancement of barzolvolimab into registrational studies in 2024," said Anthony Marucci, Co-founder, President and Chief Executive Officer of Celldex Therapeutics. "Our Phase 1b study results in prurigo nodularis met our internal hurdle for advancement and we are actively planning for the initiation of a Phase 2 study early next year. We are excited to discuss these data next week in an oral presentation at the World Congress on itch and continue to deepen our leadership role in furthering the science of mast cell biology."

"Enrollment continues as planned to our Phase 2 studies in chronic inducible urticaria and eosinophilic esophagitis where we anticipate important data read outs in 2024 and beyond. In closing, we look forward to a data rich end of the year and remain focused on successfully executing across our ongoing studies as we also make plans to broaden barzolvolimab into other mast cell mediated diseases," concluded Marucci.

Recent Program Highlights

Barzolvolimab – KIT Inhibitor Program

Barzolvolimab is a humanized monoclonal antibody developed by Celldex that binds the KIT receptor with high specificity and potently inhibits its activity. The KIT receptor tyrosine kinase is expressed in a variety of cells, including mast cells, which mediate inflammatory responses such as hypersensitivity and allergic reactions. KIT signaling controls the differentiation, tissue recruitment, survival and activity of mast cells.

Celldex is conducting Phase 2 clinical studies of barzolvolimab for the treatment of chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) and the two most common forms of chronic inducible urticaria (CIndU) – cold urticaria (ColdU) and symptomatic dermographism (SD). These randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 2 studies are evaluating the efficacy and safety profile of multiple dose regimens of barzolvolimab in patients who remain symptomatic despite antihistamine therapy, to determine the optimal dosing strategies.

In July 2023, Celldex announced that enrollment to the CSU study (n=208) had been completed and that topline data is anticipated by the end of 2023.

In October 2023, data on quality of life outcomes from the Phase 1b CSU study were presented at the European Academy of Dermatology & Venereology (EADV) Congress. The Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) assesses patients’ perceptions of the impact of their disease across different aspects of their health-related quality of life and includes questions on symptoms and feelings, daily activities, leisure, work and school performance, personal relationships and treatment. A rapid improvement in the DLQI was noted within 4 weeks in all barzolvolimab treated patients. DLQI improvement was sustained at doses ≥1.5mg/kg. Physician Global Assessment (PhysGA) for the treated cohorts also improved by week 1 and was sustained through week 24. DLQI and PhysGA trended closely with the dose-dependent improvement in UAS7 (Urticaria Activity Score over 7 days) and UCT (Urticaria Control Test), tryptase suppression, and increases in SCF.

Enrollment to the Phase 2 CIndU study is ongoing.

Celldex is currently planning for the initiation of a Phase 2 subcutaneous study in prurigo nodularis (PN) in early 2024. Data from the Phase 1b randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in patients with prurigo nodularis have been accepted for oral presentation at the 12th World Congress on Itch (WCI), being held in Miami, November 5-7, 2023 and will be presented by Martin Metz, M.D., Professor of Dermatology and Allergy at Charité – Universitätsmedizin in Berlin.

In July, the first patient was dosed in the Phase 2 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE); enrollment is ongoing.
Bispecific Antibody Platform

CDX-585 – Bispecific ILT4 & PD-1

CDX-585 combines highly active PD-1 blockade with anti-ILT4 blockade to overcome immunosuppressive signals in T cells and myeloid cells. ILT4 is emerging as an important immune checkpoint on myeloid cells.

In May 2023 the first patient was dosed in the Phase 1 study of CDX-585. This open-label, multi-center study of CDX-585 is evaluating patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors that have progressed during or after standard of care therapy. Enrollment is ongoing in the dose-escalation portion of the study.
Third Quarter 2023 Financial Highlights and 2023 Guidance

Cash Position: Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of September 30, 2023 were $235.3 million compared to $252.7 million as of June 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily driven by third quarter cash used in operating activities of $19.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. At September 30, 2023, Celldex had 47.3 million shares outstanding.

Revenues: Total revenue was $1.5 million in the third quarter of 2023 and $2.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $0.4 million and $0.7 million for the comparable periods in 2022. The increase in revenue was primarily due to an increase in services performed under our manufacturing and research and development agreements with Rockefeller University.

R&D Expenses: Research and development (R&D) expenses were $34.5 million in the third quarter of 2023 and $87.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $21.6 million and $59.4 million for the comparable periods in 2022. The increase in R&D expenses was primarily due to an increase in barzolvolimab clinical trial, barzolvolimab contract manufacturing, and personnel expenses.

G&A Expenses: General and administrative (G&A) expenses were $8.2 million in the third quarter of 2023 and $22.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $6.5 million and $20.6 million for the comparable periods in 2022. The increase in G&A expenses was primarily due to an increase in stock-based compensation and recruiting expenses, partially offset by a decrease in legal expenses.

Changes in Fair Value Remeasurement of Contingent Consideration: The gain on fair value remeasurement of contingent consideration was $6.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, primarily due to the Company’s decision to deprioritize the CDX-1140 program in the second quarter of 2022.

Net Loss: Net loss was $38.3 million, or ($0.81) per share, for the third quarter of 2023, and $98.1 million, or ($2.08) per share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to a net loss of $26.8 million, or ($0.57) per share, for the third quarter of 2022, and $85.8 million, or ($1.83) per share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Financial Guidance: Celldex believes that the cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities at September 30, 2023 are sufficient to meet estimated working capital requirements and fund planned operations through 2025, which include our ongoing and planned Phase 2 studies in CSU, CIndU, EoE, and PN.

"This has been a transformational quarter for Cardiff Oncology. In August, we presented clinical and pre-clinical data, as well as feedback from the FDA and an expanded Pfizer relationship, all supporting the strategic shift of our lead program in RAS-mutated mCRC to the first-line setting. Looking ahead, we plan to dose the first patient in our first-line mCRC trial this fall and look forward to sharing an update on this trial in the middle of next year," said Mark Erlander, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of Cardiff Oncology. "In addition, in September we presented data showing single-agent activity for onvansertib in patients with pancreatic and extensive-stage small cell lung cancer. Taken together, these data support our belief that the inhibition of PLK1 has the potential to address large patient populations who have a significant unmet need."

Upcoming expected milestones

•Dosing of first patient in first-line RAS-mutated metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) Phase 2 trial expected in 2023
•First-line RAS-mutated mCRC randomized data readout expected in mid-2024

Company highlights for the quarter ended September 30, 2023:

•Announced the shift of lead RAS-mutated mCRC program to the first-line setting and expanded Pfizer relationship. Cardiff Oncology has initiated a new first-line trial, CRDF-004, and Pfizer Ignite, a new end-to-end service for biotech companies with high potential science, is responsible for the clinical execution. The Phase 2 randomized trial is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of two different doses of onvansertib added to standard-of-care (SoC) consisting of FOLFIRI/bevacizumab or FOLFOX/bevacizumab to confirm an optimal dose. Patients will be randomized to receive onvansertib plus SoC or SoC alone.
•Contingent upon the results of CRDF-004, Cardiff Oncology plans to initiate CRDF-005, a Phase 3, randomized trial with registrational intent. The FDA has agreed that a seamless trial with objective response rate (ORR) at an interim point is an acceptable endpoint to pursue accelerated approval, with progression-free survival and trend in overall survival being the endpoints for full approval.
•Provided a clinical update on the ongoing Phase 2, open-label, CRDF-001 trial of onvansertib combined with SoC consisting of nanoliposomal irinotecan, leucovorin, and 5-FU in patients with second-line metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (mPDAC). Onvansertib plus SoC demonstrated an ORR of 19% (4 of 21 evaluable patients; 1 confirmed PR, 3 waiting for confirmatory scan) and median progression-free survival (mPFS) of 5.0 months as of the data cutoff of September 13, 2023. Historical control trials in similar patient populations have shown an ORR of 7.7% and mPFS of 3.1 months with SoC.
•Provided a clinical update on the ongoing investigator-initiated biomarker discovery trial at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) Knight Cancer Institute exploring the impact of onvansertib 10-day monotherapy on tumors in mPDAC patients. Two patients have been enrolled to date. One patient demonstrated an 86% decrease in Ki67, a well-established biomarker of tumor proliferation, and a 28% decrease in CA 19-9, a clinically-used biomarker to monitor treatment response.
•Announced plans to advance to first-line mPDAC with new Phase 2 investigator-initiated trial at OHSU Knight Cancer Institute. There are two cohorts in this trial. In cohort 1, patients will receive the combination of onvansertib with SoC (Gemzar + Abraxane). In cohort 2, patients will receive 10 days of onvansertib monotherapy followed by onvansertib + SoC to identify biomarkers that predict response to onvansertib.
•Provided a clinical update on the ongoing Phase 2 investigator-initiated trial at University of Pittsburgh Medical Center of onvansertib monotherapy in patients with relapsed extensive stage SCLC who have received up to two prior therapies. An examination of the safety data from the

first six patients by the institutional review board confirmed the trial can continue to enroll as planned.

Third Quarter 2023 Financial Results

Liquidity, cash burn, and cash runway

As of September 30, 2023, Cardiff Oncology had approximately $81.4 million in cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments.

Net cash used in operating activities for the third quarter of 2023 was approximately $8.0 million, an increase of approximately $0.5 million from $7.5 million for the same period in 2022.

Based on its current expectations and projections, the Company believes its current cash resources are sufficient to fund its operations into 2025.

Operating results

Total operating expenses were approximately $11.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, an increase of $1.9 million from $9.1 million for the same period in 2022. The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to costs associated with clinical programs and outside service costs related to the development of our lead drug candidate, onvansertib, and higher salaries and staff costs primarily due to increased headcount and stock-based compensation for additional grants to employees.

Conference Call and Webcast

Cardiff Oncology will host a corresponding conference call and live webcast at 4:30 p.m. ET/1:30 p.m. PT on November 2, 2023.
