About this update from Faron Pharmaceuticals Oy

TURKU, FI / ACCESS Newswire / June 15, 2026 / Faron Pharmaceuticals (HEL:FARON)(LSE:FARN) - Data continue to demonstrate prolonged durability of response, with median duration of CR reaching 16.1 months in frontline HR‑MDS, supporting the upcoming initiation of the Phase 2b trial TURKU, FINLAND - Faron Pharmaceuticals Ltd. (AIM: FARN, First North: FARON), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on tackling cancers through novel immunotherapies, today announced the poster presentation of updated translational insights and matured clinical efficacy data from its ongoing BEXMAB Phase 1/2 trial at the European Hematology Association (EHA) 2026 Congress, 11-14 June, Stockholm, Sweden. The poster highlights the steady accumulation of clinical and biological evidence validating bexmarilimab, Faron's first-in-class immunotherapy candidate currently under clinical development for myeloid malignancies. Enhanced remission durability and blast clearance in treatment-naïve HR-MDS Data from the treatment-naïve HR-MDS cohort continues to mature positively, reflecting an ORR of 85% and a CR rate of 45%. Following a longer median follow-up of 14.9 months, the trial achieved substantial improvements in the durability and depth of clinical responses. Specifically, median duration of CR reached 16.1 months, indicating durable and clinically meaningful responses. Furthermore, 60% of patients now demonstrate full clearance of bone marrow blasts, a positive increase from the 55% observed in the prior data cut. As previously disclosed, Faron has achieved alignment with the FDA on the use of CR as a key endpoint for the upcoming Phase 2b trial, making the observed CR rate in this study particularly encouraging. Dr. Mika Kontro, MD, PhD, Associate Professor at the Helsinki University Hospital Comprehensive Cancer Center and Principal Investigator of the BEXMAB trial, said, "These results reinforce the potential of bexmarilimab to deliver clinically meaningful benefit in HR-MDS. A median duration of CR of 16.1 months in frontline patients is an encouraging signal, and the translational data add important biological depth. We are seeing evidence of genuine immune reprogramming in the bone marrow, with recovery of healthy progenitor cells and activation of cytotoxic T cell responses. Together, these findings provide a compelling foundation for the randomized Phase...
