Exhibit 99.1
Nuvectis Pharma, Inc. Reports First Quarter 2026 Financial Results
and Business Highlights
· NXP900 Phase 1b clinical program continues to enroll patients at select
sites in the US
· NXP900 preclinical presentations at the 2026 American Association for Cancer
Research (“AACR”) Annual Meeting” further support the clinical development strategy
May 5, 2026, Fort Lee, NJ - Nuvectis Pharma, Inc.
(NASDAQ: NVCT) ("Nuvectis" or the "Company"), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development
of innovative precision medicines for the treatment of serious conditions of unmet medical need in oncology, today reported its financial
results for the first quarter of 2026 and provided an update on recent business progress.
Ron Bentsur, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Nuvectis, commented,
“2026 is off to a good start for Nuvectis as we advance the NXP900 Phase 1b clinical program which continues to enroll patients
at top sites in the US in both the monotherapy and combination arms of the program.” Mr. Bentsur added, “At this year’s
AACR conference held last month, we provided preclinical data supporting the use of NXP900 in combination with sotorasib, a RAS inhibitor,
in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The combination demonstrated clear synergy both in sotorasib-sensitive and sotorasib-resistant
NSCLC models.”
Mr. Bentsur concluded, “We are excited for what’s ahead
in 2026 and expect a preliminary data readout from the NXP900 Phase 1b study in the summer. We continue to operate with financial discipline
and remain focused on achieving key clinical development milestones in our NXP900 program in 2026 and beyond.”
First Quarter 2026 Financial Results
Cash and cash equivalents were $25.1 million as of March 31, 2026,
compared to $31.6 million as of December 31, 2025.
The Company's net loss was $6.1 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2026, compared to $5.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, an increase of $0.8 million. Non-cash stock-based
compensation was $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31,
2025.
Research and development expenses were $4.1 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2026, compared to $3.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, an increase of $0.4 million. The increase was
primarily driven by a $0.4 million increase in manufacturing costs, a $0.3 million increase in employee compensation and benefits, and
a $0.2 million increase in clinical trial expenses, partially offset by a $0.5 million reduction in license fees and other professional
services.
General and administrative expenses were $2.2 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, an increase of $0.3 million. The increase
was primarily driven by a $0.2 million increase in professional and consulting services related to public company expenses and a $0.1
million increase in employee compensation and benefits.
Finance income was $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31,
2026 and 2025.
