On October 18, 2025, Corbus Pharmaceuticals Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing data from its Phase 1/2 clinical study of CRB-701 (SYS6002) that was presented at the 2025 European Society for Medical Oncology Congress (“ESMO25”) on October 19, 2025. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
The Company also updated its presentation used by management to describe its business. A copy of the presentation is furnished as Exhibit 99.2 and is incorporated herein by reference.
The information in this Current Report on Form 8-K under Item 7.01, including the information contained in Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, is being furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by a specific reference in such filing.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
On October 18, 2025, the Company announced data from its Phase 1/2 clinical study of CRB-701 that was presented at ESMO25 on October 19, 2025.
Data as of September 1, 2025 was presented from 167 patients, of whom 1221 were evaluable for efficacy. The tumor types being investigated were head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC, n=41), cervical cancer (n=37) and locally advanced/metastatic urothelial (mUC, n=23) tumors. In addition, 21 patients who had other solid-tumor types were enrolled during dose escalation.
The multi-center Phase 1/2 study is being conducted in the U.S and Europe. The study was designed as an “all comers” trial with no enrollment restrictions for biomarkers (Nectin-4, PDL-1 or HPV status) or the number of prior lines of therapy. Patients were heavily pretreated with a median of 3 prior lines of therapy (range: 1–9), and the mean age was 60 years (range: 30–90). Baseline performance status, as assessed by the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG), was ≤2 for all patients, with 43.1% classified as ECOG 0, 55.1% as ECOG 1, and 1.8% as ECOG 2.
---------------------------
1 122 evaluable patients includes 84 patients with either HNSCC, cervical or mUC tumors dosed at 2.7 mg/kg (n=38) or 3.6 mg/kg (n=46), 7 patients with either HNSCC, cervical or mUC tumors dosed during dose escalation at 1.8 mg/kg, 21 patients who had other solid-tumor types that were enrolled during dose escalation, 8 non-evaluable patients, 1 patient with a -60.7% reduction in the size of mUC tumor not included in ORR and DCR calculations due to missing data and 1 patient with a HNSCC tumor dosed with the combination of CRB-701 (at 2.7 mg/kg) and pembrolizumab.

Corbus Pharmaceuticals Presents CRB-701 Robust Clinical Responses in HNSCC and Cervical Cancers at ESMO25
Norwood, MA, October 18th, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) Corbus Pharmaceuticals Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: CRBP) (“Corbus” or the “Company’) today announced data from its Phase 1/2 clinical study of CRB-701 (SYS6002) will be presented as a poster at the 2025 European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO25) Congress being held in Berlin, Germany. The poster titled, “Phase 1/2 study of the next-generation Nectin-4-targeting antibody–drug conjugate CRB-701 (SYS6002) in patients with urothelial and non-urothelial solid tumors” by Perez et al (link: https://d1io3yog0oux5.cloudfront.net/_0ea6f15a2476fe51ee10889d1a2bca38/corbuspharma/files/docs/ESMO_25_Final_Poster.pdf) will be presented tomorrow, October 19, 2025, from 12:00-12:45 CEST (Poster #967P). Data as of September 1, 2025 will be presented from 167 patients, of whom 1221 were evaluable for efficacy.

“I’m immensely gratified and encouraged by the pace of enrollment and response rate seen in the study to date,” stated Dominic Smethurst, Chief Medical Officer of Corbus. “It comes at a time when there is a stark unmet need
for the many HNSCC patients not responding to front-line therapy. The emerging CRB-701 safety and efficacy data is showing differentiation from other experimental agents in HNSCC, and we are looking forward to continuing the development of this novel ADC.”
“Following progression on immunotherapy and platinum-based chemotherapy, there is a huge unmet need for patients with recurrent/metastatic head and neck cancer,” stated Dr. Ari Rosenberg, Principal Investigator on this study and Assistant Professor of Hematology and Oncology at the University of Chicago. “Survival is poor, and there is substantial morbidity along with functional and quality of life impacts of recurrent disease, where standard treatments in this setting are quite limited in terms of their efficacy.” Dr. Rosenburg added, “Although data is still early with CRB-701, the lower systemic toxicity burden we are seeing compared with other ADCs or cytotoxics is quite exciting along with this preliminary efficacy signal. I look forward to seeing further data regarding this exciting compound.”
“I would like to thank all the patients, study physicians, and the Corbus team for their continued collaboration as we develop CRB-701,” said Yuval Cohen, PhD, Chief Executive Officer of Corbus. “We look forward to discussions with regulatory authorities and other potential stakeholders to determine the fastest and most efficient path to market. We aim to provide those updates in Q1 2026.”
Next steps
The Company plans to meet with the FDA this year to review the data and expects to initiate registrational studies by mid-2026.
The ongoing CRB-701 Phase 1/2 clinical trial (NCT06265727) (link: https://www.clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT06265727?term=CRB-701&rank=1) is evaluating the safety, pharmacokinetics, and efficacy of CRB-701 in patients with advanced solid tumors known to be associated with high Nectin-4 expression. The study is enrolling patients primarily with either HNSCC or cervical tumors.
HNSCC KOL Event
Corbus will host an in-person and virtual HNSCC KOL event during ESMO25 to review and discuss the data. The event will be held at the Berlin Marriott Hotel starting tomorrow October 19, 2025 at 10AM CEST. The event will feature insights from leading HNSCC experts: Ari Rosenberg, MD – University of Chicago, Glenn Hanna, MD – Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, and Cesar Augusto Perez Batista, MD – Sarah Cannon Research Institute. A live question-and-answer session will follow the formal presentation. To register for the HNSCC KOL event, click here (link: https://lifescievents.com/event/vak208zhgo/). A replay of the event will also be available on the Company website.
