Poster details durability and efficacy of ateganosine (THIO) treatment in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)

CHICAGO, Sept. 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — MAIA Biotechnology, Inc. (NYSE American: MAIA) (“MAIA”, the “Company”), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing targeted immunotherapies for cancer, today announced that an abstract titled “Study of THIO Sequenced with Cemiplimab in 3rd Line Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor-resistant aNSCLC: Improvement in PFS” was selected for poster presentation at the 2025 IASLC World Conference on Lung Cancer (WCLC) taking place September 6–9, 2025, in Barcelona, Spain.

“We are proud to accept IASLC’s invitation to present our exceptional ateganosine (THIO) data at its prestigious World Conference on Lung Cancer. Our participation gives us the opportunity to meet with elite scientists, researchers, and global industry leaders about our shared purpose in driving innovation in lung cancer treatments,” said MAIA Chairman and CEO Vlad Vitoc, M.D.

“Ateganosine is demonstrating substantial efficacy in our ongoing THIO-101 trial, with a median overall survival (OS) of 17.8 months with a 95% confidence interval (CI) lower bound of 12.5 months. We believe our novel anticancer agent could become a breakthrough treatment for those suffering from late-stage non-small cell lung cancer,” said MAIA’s Senior Medical Director Victor Zaporojan, M.D. “We look forward to further discussing our observed progression free survival (PFS) at this year’s World Conference on Lung Cancer.”

Conference details:

  • MAIA representatives: Victor Zaporojan, M.D., Sr. Medical Director; Tomasz Jankowski, M.D., THIO-101 lead investigator and abstract presenting author
  • Poster session: P1.11 – Metastatic Non-small Cell Lung Cancer – Immunotherapy
  • Session time: Sunday, September 7, 2025, from 10:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
  • Poster available at maiabiotech.com/publications on the day of the presentation

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently granted Fast Track designation for ateganosine (THIO, 6-thio-dG or 6-thio-2’-deoxyguanosine) for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). MAIA intends to utilize the incentives of the Fast Track Program to expedite the regulatory process for ateganosine. If relevant criteria are met during the Fast Track process, a drug will be eligible for FDA Accelerated Approval and Priority Review (FDA decision within six months).

About IASLC

The IASLC is a global multidisciplinary organization dedicated to eradication of all forms of lung cancer. From provision of educational events around the world and virtually to research projects and publications that advance the science of lung cancer, the IASLC’s members are raising the bar for care of patients with lung cancer.

IASLC’s annual World Conference on Lung Cancer has played an integral part in facilitating progress by providing a platform for sharing cutting-edge research, collaboration, and networking among industry leaders, experts, and visionaries from around the world.

About Ateganosine

Ateganosine (THIO, 6-thio-dG or 6-thio-2’-deoxyguanosine) is a first-in-class investigational telomere-targeting agent currently in clinical development to evaluate its activity in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Telomeres, along with the enzyme telomerase, play a fundamental role in the survival of cancer cells and their resistance to current therapies. The modified nucleotide 6-thio-2’-deoxyguanosine induces telomerase-dependent telomeric DNA modification, DNA damage responses, and selective cancer cell death. Ateganosine-damaged telomeric fragments accumulate in cytosolic micronuclei and activates both innate (cGAS/STING) and adaptive (T-cell) immune responses. The sequential treatment of ateganosine followed by PD-(L)1 inhibitors resulted in profound and persistent tumor regression in advanced, in vivo cancer models by induction of cancer type–specific immune memory. Ateganosine is presently developed as a second or later line of treatment for NSCLC for patients that have progressed beyond the standard-of-care regimen of existing checkpoint inhibitors.

About THIO-101 Phase 2 Clinical Trial

THIO-101 is a multicenter, open-label, dose finding Phase 2 clinical trial. It is the first trial designed to evaluate ateganosine’s anti-tumor activity when followed by PD-(L)1 inhibition. The trial is testing the hypothesis that low doses of ateganosine administered prior to cemiplimab (Libtayo®) will enhance and prolong immune response in patients with advanced NSCLC who previously did not respond or developed resistance and progressed after first-line treatment regimen containing another checkpoint inhibitor. The trial design has two primary objectives: (1) to evaluate the safety and tolerability of ateganosine administered as an anticancer compound and a priming immune activator (2) to assess the clinical efficacy of ateganosine using Overall Response Rate (ORR) as the primary clinical endpoint. The expansion of the study will assess overall response rates (ORR) in advanced NSCLC patients receiving third line (3L) therapy who were resistant to previous checkpoint inhibitor treatments (CPI) and chemotherapy. Treatment with ateganosine followed by cemiplimab (Libtayo®) has shown an acceptable safety profile to date in a heavily pre-treated population. For more information on this Phase II trial, please visit ClinicalTrials.gov using the identifier NCT05208944.

About MAIA Biotechnology, Inc.

MAIA is a targeted therapy, immuno-oncology company focused on the development and commercialization of potential first-in-class drugs with novel mechanisms of action that are intended to meaningfully improve and extend the lives of people with cancer. Our lead program is ateganosine (THIO), a potential first-in-class cancer telomere targeting agent in clinical development for the treatment of NSCLC patients with telomerase-positive cancer cells.

A recording of the call will be posted on the Investors section of the Company’s website within two hours of the call’s completion.

Definitions of non-GAAP Financial Measures:

We sometimes use financial measures derived from consolidated financial information, but not presented in our financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Certain of these are considered “non-GAAP financial measures” under the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission rules. Non-GAAP financial measures referred to in this document are either labeled as “non-GAAP,” “adjusted” or designated as such with a “1”. See below for definitions and the reasons why we use these non-GAAP financial measures. Where applicable, see the Selected Financial Information below for reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Reconciliations for forward-looking figures would require unreasonable efforts at this time because of the uncertainty and variability of the nature and amount of certain components of various necessary GAAP components, including, for example, those related to compensation, tax items, amortization or others that may arise during the year, and the Company’s management believes such reconciliations would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information. The lack of such reconciling information should be considered when assessing the impact of such disclosures.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA:

We define EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA adjusted for the impact of stock-based compensation, Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan (“NQDC”) investment appreciation/depreciation, and for certain items affecting period-to-period comparability. See Selected Financial Information for details on how EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA were calculated for each period presented. The Company presents EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because it considers such information meaningful supplemental measures of its performance and believes such information is frequently used by the investment community in the evaluation of similarly situated companies. The Company uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as factors to determine the total amount of incentive compensation available to be awarded to executive officers and other employees. The Company’s credit agreement uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA-related items to determine its interest rate and to measure compliance with certain covenants. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are also used by the Company to evaluate and price potential acquisition candidates. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s results as reported under GAAP. Some of the limitations are: (a) EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, the Company’s working capital needs; (b) EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect the interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on the Company’s debts; and (c) although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future and EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such capital expenditures. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should only be used on a supplemental basis combined with GAAP results when evaluating the Company’s performance.

Segment Contribution Margin and Adjusted Segment Contribution Margin

We define Segment Contribution Margin as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, before the allocation of corporate overhead expenses. Adjusted Segment Contribution Margin is defined as Segment Contribution Margin adjusted for certain items affecting period-to-period comparability. See Selected Financial Information for details on how Segment Contribution Margin and Adjusted Segment Contribution Margin were calculated for each period presented. When viewed together with our GAAP results, we believe Segment Contribution Margin and Adjusted Segment Contribution Margin provide management and users of the financial statements meaningful information about the performance of our business segments. Segment Contribution Margin and Adjusted Segment Contribution Margin are used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP and should not be relied upon to the exclusion of GAAP financial measures. The material limitation associated with the use of Segment Contribution Margin and Adjusted Segment Contribution Margin is that they are an incomplete measure of profitability as they do not include all operating expenses or non-operating income and expenses. Management compensates for this limitation when using these measures by looking at other GAAP measures, such as Operating Income and Net Income.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted or Comparable Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share:

We define Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted or Comparable Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share as Net Income (Loss) and Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share adjusted for certain items affecting period-to-period comparability. See Selected Financial Information below for details on how Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share and Adjusted or Comparable Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share were calculated for each period presented. We believe that Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted or Comparable Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share are meaningful measures because they increase the comparability of period-to-period results. Since these are not measures of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, they should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, GAAP Net Income (Loss) and Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share, as indicators of operating performance and they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.

Free Cash Flow:

We define Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less capital expenditures. The Company considers Free Cash Flow to be a liquidity measure that provides useful information to management and investors about the amount of cash generated by the business after the purchases of fixed assets, which can then be used to, among other things, invest in the Company’s business, make strategic acquisitions, strengthen the balance sheet, and repurchase stock or retire debt. Free Cash Flow is a liquidity measure that is frequently used by the investment community in the evaluation of similarly situated companies. Since Free Cash Flow is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, it should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s results as reported under GAAP. A limitation of the utility of Free Cash Flow as a measure of financial performance is that it does not represent the total increase or decrease in the Company’s cash balance for the period.

Release – Newsmax Files Lawsuit Against Fox News

Research News and Market Data on NMAX

September 3, 2025

Landmark Federal Antitrust Case Seeks Significant Damages

BOCA RATON, FL / ACCESS Newswire / September 3, 2025 / Newsmax Inc. (NYSE:NMAX) (“Newsmax” or the “Company”) announced today that the Company’s subsidiary, Newsmax Broadcasting, LLC, has filed a major federal antitrust lawsuit against Fox Corporation and Fox News Network, LLC (collectively, “Fox”) in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida.

The suit, led by prominent antitrust litigators at Kellogg, Hansen, Todd, Figel & Frederick, P.L.L.C., accuses Fox of engaging in an extensive and unlawful campaign to block competition in the market for right-leaning pay television news, including Newsmax.

Newsmax’s action seeks damages under Sections 1 and 2 of the Sherman Act, the Florida Antitrust Act, and the Florida Deceptive & Unfair Trade Practices Act. Under federal law, any damages awarded in this case will be trebled – meaning Fox faces significant financial liability if Newsmax prevails.

The complaint alleges that Fox has abused its dominance in the right-leaning pay TV news market for years by coercing distributors into unfair carriage agreements designed to exclude or marginalize competitors like Newsmax.

Fox News, described in the complaint as a “must-have” channel for distributors, leverages its market power to impose restrictions that harm consumers, stifle competition, and drive up costs across the pay TV ecosystem.

Among the exclusionary tactics detailed in the complaint:

  • No-Carry Provisions: Fox conditions access to Fox News on agreements by distributors not to carry or to restrict competing right-leaning news channels.
  • Financial Penalties: If distributors carry Newsmax, Fox forces them to also carry low-demand channels like Fox Business or Fox Sports 2 in their most widely viewed tiers – triggering potentially tens of millions in extra fees.
  • Confidential Drag-Down Provisions: These clauses penalize distributors for placing Newsmax in basic packages by requiring simultaneous promotion of Fox’s less popular channels.
  • Intimidation Campaigns: Fox has allegedly pressured its guests to not appear on Newsmax, as well as has run online smear campaigns and hired private investigators targeting Newsmax executives to damage the Company’s credibility.

The result, the complaint asserts, is that Fox has deliberately blocked Newsmax’s growth in critical distribution platforms such as Hulu, Sling, Fubo, and other major platforms.

Internal Fox communications cited in the complaint reveal that senior executives and talent saw Newsmax as a competitive threat following the 2020 election. Texts, emails, and memoranda show Fox leaders acknowledging that Newsmax’s growing audience could “drastically change the landscape” of cable news, including:

  • Then-Fox host Tucker Carlson warned that “an alternative like Newsmax could be devastating to us.”
  • Fox News President Jay Wallace told CEO Suzanne Scott that Fox was on “war footing” over Newsmax’s rise.
  • Fox Chairman Rupert Murdoch instructed Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott that Newsmax “should be watched” as a result of press stories about the network.
  • Other executives tracked Newsmax’s bookings and content, openly strategizing about ways to contain the new competitor.

Harm to Competition and Consumers

The lawsuit alleges that Fox’s exclusionary conduct has had far-reaching consequences:

  • Higher Prices: By blocking competition, Fox has extracted supracompetitive carriage fees – charging distributors nearly $2.20 per subscriber per month, double CNN’s fees and six times MSNBC’s. These inflated costs have been or likely will be passed on to consumers.
  • Reduced Consumer Choice: Millions of right-leaning viewers who want an alternative have been denied access to Newsmax on affordable basic packages, leaving Fox as the only viable option.
  • Delayed Growth of Newsmax: Fox’s practices have prevented Newsmax from reaching critical mass with distributors, advertisers, and audiences, costing the Company hundreds of millions in lost carriage fees and advertising revenue.

“Fox has sought to protect and expand its monopoly power in the right-leaning pay TV news market by engaging in a suite of anticompetitive behaviors,” the complaint states. Fox’s unlawful and exclusionary conduct “has harmed not just Newsmax and other competitors,” but also “consumers and competition itself.”

Newsmax is represented by Kellogg, Hansen, Todd, Figel & Frederick, P.L.L.C., and Sperling Kenny Nachwalter, LLC, two of the nation’s premier antitrust litigation firms.

Both firms have extensive experience taking on monopolistic conduct and have successfully litigated complex cases involving dominant players in telecommunications, media, pharmaceuticals, and technology.

“Fox’s behavior represents a textbook abuse of monopoly power,” said Michael J. Guzman, lead counsel for Newsmax at Kellogg Hansen. “The law is clear: competition, not coercion, should decide what news channels Americans can watch. By leveraging its must-have status, Fox has blocked new voices, suppressed consumer choice, and extracted excess profits.”

“Fox may have profited from exclusionary contracts and intimidation tactics for years, but those days are over,” said Christopher Ruddy, Newsmax CEO. “This lawsuit is about restoring fairness to the market and ensuring that Americans have real choice in the news they watch. If we prevail, Fox’s damages could be tripled under federal law – an outcome that would send a powerful message to any company that thinks it can monopolize public discourse.”

The complaint underscores that Fox’s conduct harms not just Newsmax, but the competitive process itself. By keeping rivals off affordable distribution packages, Fox has denied millions of Americans the diversity of viewpoints that a healthy marketplace of ideas requires.

“American democracy depends on a vibrant and competitive media landscape,” Ruddy added. “Fox has acted as a gatekeeper, silencing emerging voices and overcharging consumers. Our lawsuit seeks not only justice for Newsmax, but also to protect the rights of viewers who deserve choice and fair pricing.”

Newsmax is asking the federal court to:

  • Declare Fox’s conduct unlawful under federal and state antitrust laws.
  • Award monetary damages as permitted by law.
  • Enjoin Fox from continuing exclusionary contracts and monopolistic practices.
  • Order equitable relief to restore competition in right-leaning pay TV news.
