CTIM-76 IND filing on track for late March 2024 Cash and cash equivalents of $14.4 million as of December 31, 2023 Company expects its cash and cash equivalents will continue to fund operations into late 2024 PHILADELPHIA, March 21, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Context Therapeutics Inc. (“Context” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: CNTX), a biopharmaceutical company advancing medicines for solid tumors, today announced its financial results for the year ended December 31, 2023, and reported on recent and upcoming business highlights. “During the fourth quarter of 2023, Context continued to advance our lead clinical candidate, CTIM-76, a Claudin 6 ("CLDN6”) x CD3 bispecific antibody, toward a first-in-human clinical study. Preclinical data presented at the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer’s (SITC) 38th Annual Meeting highlighted the broad therapeutic potential of CTIM-76 when targeting CLDN6-positive tumors. The preclinical data further support CTIM-76’s differentiated product profile, including its potential to address limitations of first-generation CLDN6-targeted clinical-stage therapies,” said Martin Lehr, CEO of Context. “We look forward to filing an Investigational New Drug Application (“IND”) with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) by the end of March 2024 for CTIM-76. We then plan to initiate a Phase 1 clinical trial to focus on CLDN6-positive gynecologic and testicular cancers upon receiving IND clearance from the FDA.” Fourth Quarter 2023 and Recent Corporate Highlights In February 2024, Context amended its collaboration and licensing agreement with Integral Molecular, Inc. (“Integral”) to reflect updated financial terms to reduce various payment obligations and narrow the license grant to only cover CTIM-76. In November 2023, Context presented preclinical data at the SITC 38th Annual Meeting that demonstrated CTIM-76 was well tolerated and induced dose-proportional tumor regressions in xenograft models of CLDN6-positive cancer. Benchmarking studies were conducted to compare CTIM-76 to clones of other CLDN6 clinical-stage compounds, including TORL-1-23 and AMG-794. In these studies, CTIM-76 was potent across a wide range of CLDN6 expression pro whereas TORL-1-23 potency was limited to CLDN6-high expression. In addition, CTIM-76 demonstrated ten-fold higher potency than that of AMG-794 in in vitro cytotoxicity and cytokine activation assays. Upcoming Corporate Presentation The Company will present at the 23rd Annual Needham Virtual Healthcare Conference on Monday, April 8, 2024, at 2:15 p.m. ET. Context will also participate in one-on-one meetings. Fiscal Year 2023 Financial Results Cash and cash equivalents were $14.4 million at December 31, 2023, compared to $35.5 million at December 31, 2022. Acquired in-process research and development expense (“IPR&D”) was $0.5 million for 2022 and reflects the expense recognized related to a development milestone achieved under the collaboration and license agreement with Integral. There was no IPR&D expense recognized in 2023. Research and development (“R&D”) expenses were $17.8 million for 2023, as compared to $7.1 million for the same period in 2022. The increase in R&D expenses was driven by higher CTIM-76 contract manufacturing costs and preclinical costs as a result of ongoing IND-enabling studies and activities. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in onapristone extended release (“ONA-XR”) expenses, primarily due to the Company’s decision in March 2023 to discontinue the development of ONA-XR and focus on the development of CTIM-76. General and administrative expenses were $7.3 million for 2023, as compared to $7.8 million for the same period in 2022. The decrease was primarily driven by decreases in insurance expenses and other administrative costs, partially offset by an increase in professional fees. Other income was $1.1 million for 2023, as compared to $0.5 million for the same period in 2022, primarily due to higher interest income earned on cash and cash equivalent balances. Context reported a net loss of $24.0 million for 2023, as compared to $14.8 million for the same period in 2022. 2024 Cash Guidance The Company expects its cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund its operations into late 2024.

CTIM-76 IND filing on track for late Q1 2024 Cash and cash equivalents of $21.7 million as of September 30, 2023 Company expects its cash and cash equivalents will continue to fund operations into late 2024 PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 09, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Context Therapeutics Inc. (“Context” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: CNTX), a biopharmaceutical company advancing medicines for solid tumors, today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023, and reported on recent and upcoming business highlights. “During the third quarter of this year, Context continued to advance our lead clinical candidate, CTIM-76, a Claudin 6 ("CLDN6”) x CD3 bispecific antibody, toward a first-in-human clinical study. Preclinical data presented at the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer’s (SITC) 38th Annual Meeting showed the broad therapeutic potential of CTIM-76 when targeting CLDN6-positive tumors and identified a potential first-in-human dose. The preclinical data supported CTIM-76’s differentiated product profile, including its potential to address limitations of first-generation CLDN6-targeted clinical-stage therapies and the requirement of high CLDN6 expression and off-target toxicities,” said Martin Lehr, CEO of Context. “We look forward to filing an Investigational New Drug Application (“IND”) with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration late in the first quarter of 2024 for CTIM-76.” Third Quarter 2023 and Recent Corporate Highlights In November 2023, announced encouraging preclinical data presented at the SITC 38th Annual Meeting that demonstrated CTIM-76 was well tolerated and induced dose-proportional tumor regressions in models of CLDN6-positive cancer.

Third Quarter 2023 Financial Results Cash and cash equivalents were $21.7 million at September 30, 2023, compared to $35.5 million at December 31, 2022. Research and development (“R&D”) expenses were $4.5 million for the third quarter 2023, as compared to $2.1 million for the same period in 2022. The increase in R&D expenses was driven by higher CTIM-76 contract manufacturing costs and preclinical costs as a result of ongoing IND-enabling studies and activities.

General and administrative expenses were $1.7 million for the third quarter 2023, as compared to $2.0 million for the same period in 2022. The decrease was primarily driven by decreases in insurance expense, professional fees, compensation and share-based compensation costs. Other income was $0.3 million for the third quarter of 2023, as compared to $0.2 million for the same period in 2022, primarily due to higher interest income earned on cash and cash equivalent balances. Context reported a net loss of $5.9 million for the third quarter 2023, as compared to $3.9 million for the same period in 2022. 2023 Cash Guidance The Company expects its cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund its operations into late 2024.
