TAIPEI, TW, Apr 15, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - OBI Pharma, Inc. (TPEx:4174.TWO) today announced its presence at AACR 2026, highlighted by ten poster presentations, showcasing the transformative potential of the GlycOBI® platform. Conventional ADCs often face limitations due to random conjugation, resulting in heterogeneous Drug-to-Antibody Ratios (DAR), suboptimal stability, and narrow therapeutic windows. In contrast, the OBI site-specific glycan-based technology enables a highly homogeneous DAR, translating into improved PK/PD profiles, and reduced off-target toxicity, as demonstrated by OBI's lead programs, OBI-902 and OBI-904.We are further advancing precision oncology through our next-generation bispecific (OBI-201) and bispecific, dual-payload (OBI-221) ADCs. These "biology - driven" molecules are designed to overcome tumor heterogeneity and multi-drug resistance-key challenges in current cancer treatment. By incorporating both the GlycOBI® and GlycOBI DUO® platforms, OBI is developing novel and differentiated therapeutics addressing the unmet medical need for patients with difficult-to-treat solid tumors. Additionally, OBI's robust ADC conjugation platform has proven to consistently deliver product quality and scalability, while enabling expansion into next-generation modalities, including degrader-antibody conjugates (DACs).These data will be presented at the American Association of Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting from April 17 to 22, 2026 in San Diego, CA. (USA)."At OBI, we make better ADCs," said Dr. Ya-Chi Chen, Chief Scientific Officer OBI Pharma. "Our goal is to deliver therapies that not only target tumors more effectively and precisely, but also reduce side effects, giving patients potentially life-changing treatment options."Monday, April 20, 2026 (9:00 AM - 12:00 PM)Title: Overcoming Resistance with OBI-902: Preclinical Evaluation of a Next-Generation TROP2 ADC1Authors: Ren-Yu Hsu, Chi-Huan Lu, Chi-Sheng Shia, Jing-Rong Huang, Hsin-Shan Wu, Lu-Tzu Chen, Jhih-Jie Yang, Tzu-Min Yen, Jyy-Shiuan Tu, Yu-Hsuan Tsao, Ya-Chi Chen.

Together with its subsidiary OBI Pharma USA, Inc., the company is dedicated to developing innovative cancer therapeutics to provide new treatment options for patients with urgent medical needs.OBI's research efforts center on novel antibody-drug conjugates (ADC). Through its patented next-generation conjugation technology platform, Obrion™, OBI has established diverse ADC design modalities. The platform integrates proprietary conjugation and linker technologies, including GlycOBI®, GlycOBI DUO®, EndoSymeOBI®, HYPrOBI®, and the novel irreversible cysteine-conjugation technology ThiOBI® , to advance next-generation ADC solutions. OBI has developed a next-generation suite of ADC programs. These include monospecific ADCs such as OBI-902 (TROP2), which is under Ph1 clinical evaluation, and OBI-904 (Nectin-4); a bispecific single-payload ADC, OBI-201 (HER2 x TROP2); and a bispecific dual-payload ADC, OBI-221 (cMET x HER3). To broaden the applicability of the HYPrOBI® linker technology, OBI has further developed the ThiOBI® technology to enable irreversible cysteine-based conjugation. In addition to its ADC programs, OBI's assets include OBI-3424, a first-in-class AKR1C3-targeted small-molecule prodrug that selectively releases a potent DNA-alkylating agent in the presence of the aldo-keto reductase 1C3 enzyme, which is highly expressed in certain tumors. Additional information can be found at www.obipharma.com.About OBI-902 and OBI-992OBI-902 is a TROP2-targeted antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) that carries a potent topoisomerase I inhibitor payload to kill tumor cells with a drug-antibody ratio (DAR) of 4. TROP2 is highly expressed in a variety of solid tumors such as breast, lung, biliary, bile duct (cholangiocarcinoma), ovarian, gastric, and many other cancer types, rendering it an ideal target for cancer therapy.OBI-902 is a novel site-specific glycan-conjugated ADC using OBI's proprietary GlycOBI® platform, which provides improved stability and enhanced hydrophilicity. OBI-902 demonstrated remarkable antitumor efficacy across multiple tumors, including NSCLC, triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), and gastric cancer, improved pharmacokinetic characteristics, and a favorable safety profile in various animal models. The IND of OBI-902 was cleared by the United States Food and Drug Administration (US FDA) on April 30, 2025, received Orphan Drug Designation (ODD) from the US FDA for cholangiocarcinoma on Nov. 16, 2025, and gastric cancer (GC), including gastroesophageal junction cancer (GEJC) on December 5, 2025.The Phase 1/2 Study (NCT07124117) is ongoing, with completion of the Phase 1a portion targeted for 1H 2027.OBI-992 is a TROP2-targeted antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) that carries a potent topoisomerase I inhibitor payload with drug-to-antibody ratio of 4 (DAR 4) via a cysteine conjugated, hydrophilic and enzyme-cleavable linker. OBI-992 remains stable in circulation and delivers this cytotoxic payload to TROP2-expressing tumor cells, leading to tumor cell death while avoiding off-target toxicities.The US FDA cleared the IND application for OBI-992 in Jan 2024 and subsequently granted Orphan Drug Designation for the treatment of gastric cancer, including GEJC in Aug 2024. The Phase 1/2 Study (NCT06480240) has reached the putative Recommended Phase 2 Dose (pRP2D) and Phase I completion is targeted for 1H 2027.Since December 2021, OBI has been granted by Biosion, Inc. (www.biosion.com) an exclusive license to a TROP2 targeting antibody amino acid sequence in all jurisdictions except Mainland China, Hong Kong and Macau. Biosion holds exclusive rights to that antibody sequence in Mainland China, Hong Kong and Macau. OBI holds commercial rights to OBI-992 and OBI-902 in all jurisdictions except Mainland China, Hong Kong and Macau, while Biosion holds commercial rights to OBI-992 and OBI-902 in Mainland China, Hong Kong and Macau.About OBI-904OBI-904 is an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) comprised of a monoclonal antibody specifically targeting Nectin-4 (Nectin cell adhesion molecule 4), linked to a potent topoisomerase I inhibitor payload with Drug-to-Antibody Ratio of 8 (DAR8) through OBI's proprietary GlycOBI® ADC enabling technologies, powered by a dual-function enzyme, EndoSymeOBI®, and a novel linker, HYPrOBI®. It is a potentially first-in-class and best-in-class glycan-based ADC designed to target multiple cancer types that express Nectin-4. Antitumor activity has been shown across several animal disease models, including HNSCC, CRC, TNBC, cervical and sarcoma cancers; OBI-904 has demonstrated a favorable safety profile in a repeat dose toxicity study in monkeys, and is now in the pre-IND stage of development.About OBI-201OBI-201 is a TROP2 x HER2 bispecific ADC generated by OBI GlycOBI® ADC enabling technologies conjugated with a topoisomerase I inhibitor. Notably, OBI is the first to demonstrate that HER2 and TROP2 can interact and form a protein complex on the cell surface-a groundbreaking discovery facilitated through collaboration with a specialized AI drug discovery partner. OBI-201 offers several advantages over mono-specific TROP2 or HER2 ADCs. By targeting both antigens, it broadens tumor coverage, especially in cancers with heterogeneous or low expression of either target. Dual targeting can enhance tumor selectivity, binding avidity, and internalization, improving payload delivery to cancer cells while potentially reducing toxicity to normal cells. OBI-201 may overcome resistance associated with downregulation of targets after treatment by certain monospecific ADCs.Animal studies revealed that OBI-201 demonstrated significantly superior anti-tumor activity compared to single-target ADCs in drug-resistant breast cancer models with extremely low HER2 expression. OBI-201 was able to sustain tumor growth suppression, indicating its potential to overcome multiple drug-resistance mechanisms. OBI-201 is a next-generation bispecific ADC poised to break through the limitations of single-target ADCs, potentially offering patients a more comprehensive and durable treatment option.About OBI-221OBI-221 is a Bispecific-Dual Payload ADC (BsDpADC), generated by OBI GlycOBI DUO® technologies, targeting cMET and HER3, conjugated with dual payload of MMAE and topoisomerase I inhibitor.In clinical practice, EGFR-targeted therapies have become a key strategy for treating non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. However, tumors often rapidly develop resistance by upregulating cMET and HER3 that, in turn, sustain tumor growth. Moreover, high expressions of cMET and HER3 have been observed in gastric cancer, head and neck cancer, and various other solid tumors, further underscoring the unmet medical needs.To address this challenge, OBI Pharma leverages its proprietary GlycOBI DUO® platform and HYPrOBI® linker to develop a novel bispecific dual-payload antibody-drug conjugate (BsDpADC)-OBI-221. This therapeutic agent simultaneously targets cMET and HER3 while delivering synergistic cytotoxic agents, effectively combating tumor resistance and heterogeneity. This breakthrough design not only addresses an unmet medical need but also represents a forward-looking strategy for next-generation ADC development.OBI-221 holds meaningful potential to overcome resistance to existing EGFR-targeted therapies, potentially offering patients more targeted treatment options while delivering substantial clinical value.About GlycOBI®OBI has developed a unique glycan-based, site-specific ADC technology (GlycOBI®), designed in a Plug and Play format that is compatible with any antibodies, linkers, and payloads, and supports various drug-antibody ratios (DAR)(up to 16). Powered by OBI's proprietary dual-function enzymatic technology EndoSymeOBI® and its hydrophilic linker technology HYPrOBI®, GlycOBI®, a core component of OBI's Obrion™ ADC technology family, enables the generation of site-specific and homogeneous ADCs through an efficient, scalable and streamlined two-step, one-pot conjugation process under GMP conditions.During the conjugation process, GlycOBI® avoids disrupting the antibody structure and ensures that the resulting ADC retains biophysical characteristics comparable to the native antibody. In addition, OBI's linker technology improves payload conjugation efficiency and reduces the propensity for aggregation or degradation, further supporting a stable and well-controlled ADC manufacturing process. GlycOBI® has overcome limitations commonly associated with traditional ADC approaches and has demonstrated improved antitumor activity and stability in various in vivo studies. Notably, the platform supports the conjugation of both cytotoxic small-molecule inhibitors and highly hydrophobic degraders, expanding its applicability to next-generation modalities such as DACs.About GlycOBI DUO®GlycOBI DUO® is a next-generation dual-payload antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) technology built on the GlycOBI® site-specific conjugation platform and its proprietary enzymatic conjugation strategy. It enables the precise and programmable attachment of two distinct payloads to a single antibody with tunable ratios and supports high DAR ratios, including up to DAR24. By combining complementary mechanisms of action, GlycOBI DUO® is designed to enhance antitumor efficacy, address tumor heterogeneity, and improve the overall therapeutic index, with the potential to overcome resistance mechanisms associated with conventional ADCs-representing a promising advancement in next-generation ADC development.About ThiOBI®OBI has developed a novel irreversible, cysteine conjugation ADC platform (ThiOBI®) with improved stability, which can apply to any antibodies, linkers, and payloads. OBI's proprietary ThiOBI® platform including linker technologies (HYPrOBI®) can generate ADCs in different biomolecular formats, including antibody fragments, nanobodies, peptides, and proteins. Furthermore, OBI's HYPrOBI® linker technology has improved conjugation efficiency of the payload and reduced aggregation propensity and also expanded the half-life of the ADC products. ThiOBI has overcome the limitations of traditional cysteine ADCs and achieved better antitumor activity and stability in various in vivo tests.GlycOBI®, EndoSymeOBI®, ThiOBI®, HYPrOBI®, and GlycOBI DUO® are registered trademarks of OBI.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - April 14, 2026) - Doubleview Gold Corp. (TSXV: DBG) (OTCQB: DBLVF) (FSE: 1D4) ("Doubleview" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has filed the independent National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report entitled "Preliminary Economic Assessment of the Hat Polymetallic Project, British Columbia, Canada" (the "Technical Report") on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and it can also be viewed on the Company's website at www.doubleview.ca. The Technical Report supports the positive Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") results for the Company's 100%-owned Hat polymetallic porphyry project ("Hat" or the "Project"), located in northwestern British Columbia, as announced on March 2, 2026 and clarified on March 23, 2026.The PEA demonstrates robust project economics for the Hat Project, including:NPV:After-tax NPV(5%) of C$6.73 billion and IRR of 23% at Consensus Metal PricesAfter-tax NPV(5%) of C$13.53 billion and IRR of 39% at Spot Metal PricesNPV Including scandium and the associated processing circuit:After-tax NPV(5%) of C$7.27 billion and IRR of 19% at Consensus Metal PricesAfter-tax NPV(5%) of C$14.85 billion and IRR of 32% at Spot Metal PricesThree processing scenarios were evaluated-Scenario A1 (A1) a Cu-Au-Ag-Co flotation base case using current testwork recoveries1, Scenario A2 (A2), the same base case using expected recoveries1, and Scenario B (B), a Cu-Au-Ag-Co flowsheet with an added hydrometallurgical circuit and scandium recovery circuit, with results indicating the Project is financially attractive even without the scandium component.Highlights:Robust Project Economics: The PEA demonstrates a high-margin operation with an After-Tax NPV(5%) of C$4.96 billion (A1), C$6.73 billion (A2), or C$7.27 billion (B), and an IRR of 19% (A1), 23% (A2), or 19% (B) at analyst consensus metal prices2. Using a spot-price scenario3, the Project delivers a compelling after-tax NPV(5%) of C$11.05 billion (A1), C13.53 billion (A2), or C$14.85 billion (B) and an IRR of 34% (A1), 39% (A2), or 32% (B).Sensitivity Highlight: Project economics show the greatest leverage to overall metal prices, with NPV (5%) ranging from C$3.2 billion to C$10.2 billion (IRR: 14%-32%) at ±20% on all metals; even under additional +20% CAPEX and +20% OPEX sensitivities, applied on top of a 25% contingency already embedded in the base case, all scenarios deliver IRRs of 16% or better, and Scenario B provides additional scandium oxide upside with NPV(5%) of C$6.5 billion-C$8.1 billion (IRR: 18%-20%) at ±40% metal price.Scale and Longevity: The mine plan supports a multi-decade life of 25 years at a 120,000 tonnes-per-day processing rate, underpinned by a resource base of 609 Mt at 0.43% CuEq4 in the Measured and Indicated categories and 503 Mt at 0.41% CuEq4 in the Inferred category.High-Output Production Profile B: Envisioned as a conventional large-scale open-pit operation, the Project is expected to produce an average of over 74 kt of copper, 254 koz of gold, 376 koz of silver and 2.7 kt of cobalt annually during the first 10 years, with life-of-mine (LOM) average production of 67.6 kt Cu, 217 koz Au, 348 koz Ag, 2.5 kt Co, and 128 tonnes of scandium oxide per year. (NOTE: based on publicly reported 2024 North American cobalt mine production of approximately 3,800-4,000 tonnes (Natural Resources Canada; U.S. Geological Survey), the projected cobalt output is estimated to represent approximately 69% of current regional mined supply).Strategic Importance for Critical Minerals: The Project is positioned as a primary North American source of copper, scandium, and cobalt. With approximately 2.42 billion pounds of copper, 80 million pounds of cobalt and 2,415 tonnes of scandium oxide contained5 in the Measured and Indicated categories, the Project represents an important discovery of critical minerals.Stable, Supportive Jurisdiction: Located in a premier mining district in British Columbia, the Project benefits from a stable regulatory environment. The Company is committed to engaging with local First Nations in a respectful manner and to working toward positive and constructive relationships as the Project advances.Catalyst for Development: The PEA serves as the technical foundation for an immediate transition into a Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS), providing a clear roadmap for early works and permitting activities in 2026 and 2027.Farshad Shirvani, President and CEO of Doubleview Gold Corp., commented: "The filing of the full PEA Technical Report solidifies the robust economics outlined in March. With an after-tax NPV(5%) reaching up to C$7.27 billion at consensus prices and up to C$14.85 billion at spot prices, we believe the Hat Project is emerging as a Tier 1 asset. It is a large-scale, long-life polymetallic opportunity in a premier jurisdiction with strong exposure to critical metals including copper, scandium and cobalt. We look forward to advancing this strategic asset toward pre-feasibility while continuing to unlock value from its copper, gold, scandium and cobalt potential."The Company cautions that the PEA is preliminary in nature and includes inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves. There is no certainty that the PEA will be realized.
