About AN8025
AN8025 is a proprietary tri-specific antibody fusion protein derived from an approved αPD-L1 antibody and fused with functionally optimized CD86 and LAG3 variants. Designed to modulate T cell and antigen-presenting cell (APC) functions, preclinical studies have demonstrated that AN8025 enhances both the quantity and quality of APCs while also inducing robust PD-L1-dependent T cell activation and anti-tumor efficacy in vivo. The Company plans to submit the IND application in mid-2025.

About AN9025
AN9025 is an in-house developed oral small molecule pan-RAS(ON) inhibitor, designed to target a broad spectrum of RAS mutations across various tumor types. Preclinical studies have demonstrated that AN9025 effectively inhibits RAS-mutant cancers with potent and durable efficacy, including pancreatic, lung, and colorectal adenocarcinomas, and shows comparable or superior results relative to a benchmark agent of the same class. The company plans to submit an IND application in the second half of 2025.

About Adlai Nortye
Adlai Nortye (NASDAQ: ANL) is a global clinical-stage company focused on the development of innovative targeted and immune-modulating cancer therapies, with global R&D centers in the U.S. and China. The Company is advancing a robust oncology pipeline, with our lead candidate Buparlisib (AN2025), a pan-PI3K inhibitor, currently being evaluated in a registrational Phase 3 trial (NCT04338399) in patients with recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell cancer (HNSCC) that has progressed after prior anti-PD(L)1 treatment. Additionally, we are advancing multiple drug candidates including AN4005, an oral small molecule PD-L1 inhibitor, AN8025, a multifunctional fusion protein acting as a T cell and antigen-presenting cell (“APC”) modulator, and AN9025, an oral small molecule pan-RAS(ON) inhibitor.
