Therapeutics Advances Stenoparib Toward Pivotal Development with Phase 3 Manufacturing Campaign
- Phase 3 manufacturing campaign on track for completion no later than third quarter 2026, supporting expected pivotal trial in advanced ovarian cancer
- Supports accelerating stenoparib toward FDA approval following FDA Fast Track designation
- All manufacturing-related payments completed; no additional cash outlays for manufacturing are anticipated
TARPON
SPRINGS, Fla., MAY 5, 2026 – Allarity Therapeutics, Inc. (“Allarity” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: ALLR),
a Phase 2 clinical-stage pharmaceutical company dedicated to developing stenoparib (2X-121)—a differentiated, dual PARP and WNT
pathway inhibitor—today announced that its active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) manufacturing campaign for stenoparib is progressing
in line with the planned timeline for completion no later than the third quarter of 2026 at its world-class contract development and
manufacturing organization (CDMO).
This
milestone represents a key operational advance as the Company works to secure robust drug supply while preparing for potential pivotal-stage
clinical development. The decision to move forward with the campaign reflects the continuously growing confidence in stenoparib’s
therapeutic potential, based on previously reported data showing extended overall survival in advanced, platinum-resistant ovarian cancer
patients.
“With
the Phase 3 manufacturing campaign of stenoparib approaching completion, we are taking an important step to ensuring timely advancement
into potential pivotal-stage clinical trials,” said Thomas Jensen, Chief Executive Officer of Allarity Therapeutics. “This
campaign reflects our confidence in the long-term potential of the program, and is particularly important as we work to leverage the
FDA Fast Track designation to accelerate the development and potential approval of stenoparib.”

The
CDMO site, located in Europe, operates in full compliance with GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) standards set by both the U.S. Food
and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA). Drug manufacturing for late-stage clinical development requires
heightened manufacturing standards that go above and beyond the standards necessary for phase 1 and phase 2 clinical development. Triggering
this campaign now ensures that the higher standard API is ready when the company is ready to advance a pivotal trial for FDA approval.
From
a financial standpoint, the company has completed all payments for the manufacturing and no additional cash outlays for manufacturing
are anticipated.
The
manufacturing campaign is expected to be completed well in advance of the anticipated generation of critical data from Allarity’s
ongoing Phase 2 trial in advanced ovarian cancer. The ongoing phase 2 trial continues to enroll patients under the new protocol, generating
enthusiastic investigator engagement.
About
Stenoparib/2X-121
Stenoparib
is an orally available, small-molecule dual-targeted inhibitor of PARP1/2 and tankyrase 1/2. At present, tankyrases are attracting significant
attention as emerging therapeutic targets for cancer, principally due to their role in regulating the WNT signaling pathway. Aberrant
WNT/β-catenin signaling has been implicated in the development and progression of numerous cancers. By inhibiting PARP and blocking
WNT pathway activation, stenoparib’s unique therapeutic action shows potential as a promising therapeutic for many cancer types,
including ovarian cancer, Small Cell Lung Cancer and colorectal cancer. Allarity has secured exclusive global rights for the development
and commercialization of stenoparib, which was originally developed by Eisai Co. Ltd. and was formerly known under the names E7449 and
2X-121. Allarity has two ongoing Phase 2 trial protocols for stenoparib in Ovarian Cancer patients. In the first, patients who had had
2+ lines of therapy were enrolled on stenoparib and given drug twice daily. This protocol has been closed to further enrollment but continues
for the enrolled patients who are still receiving benefit from stenoparib administration. The updated data from this study were presented
at the AACR special conference on advances in Ovarian Cancer in September 2025. Note that, as these data are from an ongoing trial, analyses
may change as the study fully matures. An amended protocol designed expressly to capitalize on the emerging clinical experience with
stenoparib in platinum resistant patients began enrolling patients in the summer of 2025. This amended protocol enrolls only platinum
resistant or platinum-ineligible patients and is designed to accelerate the clinical development of stenoparib toward FDA approval. In
parallel, a separate Phase 2 trial evaluating stenoparib in combination with temozolomide for relapsed small cell lung cancer (SCLC)
began enrolling patients in early 2026 and is currently enrolling patients across multiple U.S. Veterans Administration (VA) sites.

About
the Drug Response Predictor – DRP® Companion Diagnostic
Allarity
uses its drug-specific DRP® to select those patients who, by the gene expression signature of their cancer, may have
a high likelihood of benefiting from a specific drug. By screening patients before treatment, and only treating those patients with a
sufficiently high, drug-specific DRP score, the therapeutic benefit rate may be enhanced. The DRP method builds on the comparison of
sensitive vs. resistant human cancer cell lines, including transcriptomic information from cell lines, combined with clinical tumor biology
filters and prior clinical trial outcomes. DRP is based on messenger RNA expression profiles from patient biopsies. The DRP® platform
has shown an ability to provide a statistically significant prediction of the clinical outcome from drug treatment in cancer patients
across dozens of clinical studies (both retrospective and prospective). The DRP platform, which may be useful in all cancer types and
is patented for dozens of anti-cancer drugs, has been extensively published in the peer-reviewed literature.
