New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - August 7, 2025) - OS Therapies (NYSE American: OSTX) ("OS Therapies" or "the Company"), a clinical-stage immunotherapy and Antibody Drug Conjugate (ADC) biopharmaceutical company, today announced statistically significant positive updated interim 2-year overall survival data from the Company's Phase 2b trial of off-the-shelf immunotherapy candidate OST-HER2 in the prevention of delay of recurrent, fully resected, pulmonary metastatic osteosarcoma. 66.6% (18 out of 27) of OST-HER2 treated patients achieved 2-year overall survival compared with 40% of historical control1 (p = 0.0046).
Additionally, the US Food & Drug Administration ("FDA") issued a Biologics Licensing Application ("BLA") number for OST-HER2 to receive a BLA submission following the Company's pending August 27, 2025 End of Phase 2 Meeting. The Company has responded to FDA correspondences seeking to align approval metrics for Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy (RMAT) designation, Breakthrough Therapy designation (BTD) and BLA via the Accelerated Approval Program.
"We are seeking to bring this novel immunotherapy to market to improve the survival rates in pulmonary metastatic osteosarcoma, and today's updated interim overall survival data continues to show a statistically significant benefit for OST-HER2 treated patients compared with control," said Paul Romness, MPH, Chairman & CEO of OS Therapies. "We believe that continued statistically significant outperformance in overall survival of OST-HER2 treated patients compared with historical control, together with the statistically significant positive 12-month Event Free Survival data presented at MIB Factor in June 2025, will provide the necessary scientific and medical basis to support a BLA under the FDA's Accelerated Approval Program."

The Company reported positive data in its Phase 2b clinical trial of OST-HER2 in recurrent, fully resected, lung metastatic osteosarcoma, demonstrating statistically significant benefit in the 12-month event free survival (EFS) primary endpoint of the study. The Company anticipates submitting a Biologics Licensing Application (BLA) to the U.S. FDA for OST-HER2 in osteosarcoma in 2025 and, if approved, would become eligible to receive a Priority Review Voucher that it could then sell.
