Exhibit 99.1
TScan Therapeutics Reports Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results and Provides Corporate Update
First patient dosed in Phase 3 ALLOHA-2™ study; topline readout expected mid-2028
Shared positive initial data from Cohort C of Phase 1 ALLOHA™ study, validating internal commercial-ready manufacturing process
Cash and cash equivalents fund operations into the second quarter of 2027
WALTHAM, Mass., Aug 12, 2026 -- TScan Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: TCRX), a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on the development of T cell receptor (TCR)-engineered T cell (TCR-T) therapies for the treatment of patients with cancer, today reported financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2026, and provided a corporate update.
“This is a transformative time for TScan with our first pivotal study now enrolling at major transplant centers across the U.S.,” said Gavin MacBeath, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer. “A key priority during the first half of this year was demonstrating the performance of our improved commercial-ready manufacturing process. Data from Cohort C of the ALLOHA trial, generated using this process, reinforces our confidence in both our manufacturing and the clinical potential of TSC-101 as we enter our Phase 3 study. Building on the encouraging efficacy we have observed with TSC-101, we are also expanding our heme program to address additional HLA types, with Phase 1 trials of TSC-102-A01 and TSC-102-A03 expected to begin in the fourth quarter of this year.”
Recent Corporate Highlights
Pipeline Progress and Upcoming Anticipated Milestones
Heme Malignancies Program: TScan’s lead TCR-T therapy candidate, TSC-101, is designed to treat residual disease and prevent relapse in patients with heme malignancies undergoing allogeneic HCT (ALLOHA-2™ trial, NCT07702578).
Solid Tumor Program: The Company’s strategy is to treat patients with multiple TCR-T therapy candidates to overcome tumor heterogeneity.
Autoimmunity Program: The Company has discovered novel targets for ankylosing spondylitis and other HLA-B*27-associated autoimmune disorders and is currently developing potential treatment options.
Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results
Revenue: Revenue for the second quarter of 2026 was $1.1 million, compared to $3.1 million for the second quarter of 2025. The decrease was primarily due to timing of research activities pursuant to the Company’s collaboration agreement with Amgen.
R&D Expenses: Research and development (R&D) expenses for the second quarter of 2026 were $23.4 million, compared to $32.6 million for the second quarter of 2025. The decrease of $9.2 million was primarily driven by a decrease in laboratory supplies, research materials, and studies due to the timing in the purchase of supplies and consumables, and decrease spend on contracted services, as well as savings in connection with the Company’s previously announced strategy to prioritize the clinical development of its heme program. R&D expenses included non-cash stock compensation expense of $1.2 million and $1.7 million for the second quarter of 2026 and 2025, respectively.
G&A Expenses: General and administrative (G&A) expenses for the second quarter of 2026 were $8.1 million, compared to $9.1 million for the second quarter of 2025. The decrease of $1.0 million was primarily due to a decrease in personnel costs. G&A expenses included non-cash stock compensation expense of $1.2 million and $1.6 million for the second quarter of 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Net Loss: Net loss was $30.4 million for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $37.0 million for the second quarter of 2025, and included net interest income of $0.8 million and $2.4 million, respectively.
Cash Position: Cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2026, were $100.2 million, excluding $5.0 million of restricted cash. The Company believes that its existing cash resources will be sufficient to fund its current operating plan into the second quarter of 2027. The Company did not achieve certain non-covenant related milestones by June 30, 2026 as provided under its existing debt agreement, therefore the updated cash runway reflects commencement of the two-year term loan amortization beginning in the fourth quarter of 2026.
Share Count: As of June 30, 2026, the Company had 67,779,255 issued and outstanding shares of common stock, consisting of 63,502,667 shares of voting common stock and 4,276,588 shares of non-voting common
stock, as well as 62,246,707 outstanding pre-funded warrants to purchase shares of voting common stock at an exercise price of $0.0001 per share. Pro forma outstanding shares, inclusive of both common stock and pre-funded warrants, were 130,025,962 as of June 30, 2026.
