## Exhibit 99.1

![](eltx1q26pr001.jpg)

Elicio Therapeutics Reports First Quarter 2026 Financial Results and Provides Corporate Updates • In the ongoing Phase 2 AMPLIFY-7P study evaluating ELI-002 7P in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma ("PDAC"), the event-driven primary disease-free survival ("DFS") analysis is anticipated mid-year 2026 • The Company raised net proceeds of approximately $8.0 million in Q1 2026 and an additional $5.0 million in Q2 2026 to date, for aggregate net proceeds of approximately $13.0 million, through its established at-the-market program • Projected cash runway beyond the expected AMPLIFY-7P Phase 2 final DFS data BOSTON, May 11, 2026 — Elicio Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: ELTX, "Elicio" or the "Company"), a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing a pipeline of novel immunotherapies for the treatment of cancer, today reported financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, and provided recent corporate and clinical updates. "We remain focused on advancing the Phase 2 AMPLIFY-7P trial and anticipate reaching the event-driven primary DFS analysis of ELI-002 7P in post-resection KRAS-driven PDAC mid- year 2026," said Robert Connelly, Chief Executive O[icer of Elicio. "We are encouraged by the durability of T-cell responses and clinical observations to date, supporting the potential of ELI-002 7P to favorably impact outcomes as monotherapy in the adjuvant PDAC setting. With our cash runway now expected to extend into Q4 2026, beyond the anticipated DFS readout, we believe we are well positioned to execute on this key milestone and further advance our amphiphile ("AMP") platform in KRAS-mutant pancreatic cancer and other indications, with the goal of delivering meaningful long-term value for patients and shareholders." Updates on the AMPLIFY-7P Phase 2 Trial • The event-driven primary DFS endpoint analysis for Elicio's randomized Phase 2 AMPLIFY-7P trial in post-resection mKRAS PDAC is anticipated mid-year 2026 • Fewer disease progressions and deaths than projected to date have been observed in the ongoing 2:1 randomized Phase 2 AMPLIFY-7P trial • The Company remains blinded to the Phase 2 AMPLIFY-7P trial clinical e[icacy outcomes • Following completion of the primary DFS endpoint analysis, the Company plans to request an End-of-Phase 2 meeting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration

("FDA") to align on the Phase 3 trial design for ELI-002 7P in resected mKRAS PDAC and to advance ELI-002 7P toward initiation of a registrational study First Quarter 2026 Financial Results R&D expenses were $6.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $7.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease in R&D expenses was primarily due to lower clinical trial costs as the Phase 2 study of ELI-002 7P continues and the patients moved out of the active dosing phase and into the follow up phase of the trial. G&A expenses were $3.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $3.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase in G&A expenses was primarily due to increased Company headcount resulting in increased personnel costs and a slight increase in professional fees. Net loss was $11.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $11.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2026 includes $1.0 million of non-cash other expense primarily resulting from the change in fair value of the warrant liability. Net loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $0.65, compared to $0.87 for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Cash and cash equivalents were $14.9 million as of March 31, 2026, compared to $18.6 million as of December 31, 2025. The Company raised net proceeds of $8.0 million in Q1 2026 and an additional $5.0 million in Q2 2026 to date, for aggregate net proceeds of approximately $13.0 million, through its established at-the-market program. The Company expects its current cash and cash equivalents to support planned operations into Q4 2026, beyond the anticipated AMPLIFY-7P Phase 2 event-driven DFS analysis expected mid-year 2026.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Elicio Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: ELTX) is a clinical-stage biotechnology company advancing novel immunotherapies for the treatment of high-prevalence cancers, including mKRAS-positive pancreatic and colorectal cancers. Elicio intends to build on recent clinical successes in the personalized cancer immunotherapy space to develop e[ective, o[-the-shelf immunotherapies. Elicio's AMP technology aims to enhance the education, activation and amplification of cancer-specific T cells relative to conventional immunotherapy strategies, with the goal of promoting durable cancer immunosurveillance in patients. Elicio's ELI-002 7P lead program is an o[-the-shelf immunotherapy candidate targeting the most common KRAS mutations, which drive approximately 25% of all solid tumors. Elicio intends to expand ELI-002 7P clinical development not only for treatment in adjuvant PDAC, but also in neo-adjuvant and metastatic PDAC settings, and for other mKRAS-positive cancers. O[-the-shelf immunotherapy approaches have the potential benefits of low cost, rapid commercial scale manufacturing, and rapid availability of drug to patients especially in neo-adjuvant settings and for prophylaxis in high-risk patients, March 31, 2026 December 31, 2025 Assets Cash and cash equivalents 14,948$18,563$ Other current assets 1,252 748 Total current assets 16,200 19,311 Other assets 6,489 6,551 Total assets 22,689$25,862$ Liabilities and stockholders' equity (deficit) Current liabilities 7,229$8,110$ Long-term liabilities 16,897 16,116 Total liabilities 24,126 24,226 Total stockholders' equity (deficit) (1,437) 1,636 Total liabilities and stockholders' equity (deficit) 22,689$25,862$ ELICIO THERAPEUTICS, INC.

contrary to personalized immunotherapy approaches. ELI-002 is being studied in an ongoing, randomized clinical trial in patients with mKRAS-positive PDAC who completed standard therapy but remain at high risk of relapse. ELI-002 also has been studied in patients with mKRAS-positive colorectal cancer ("CRC") in Phase 1 studies. The updated AMPLIFY-201 Phase 1 data for PDAC and CRC was presented at the ESMO Immuno- Oncology Congress 2024 and included a 16.3-month median recurrence-free survival and 28.9-month median overall survival for the full study population. Elicio's pipeline includes additional o[-the-shelf therapeutic cancer immunotherapy candidates, including ELI-007 and ELI-008, that target BRAF-driven cancers and p53 hotspot mutations, respectively. For more information, please visit www.elicio.com. About ELI-002 Elicio's lead product candidate, ELI-002, is a structurally novel investigational AMP cancer immunotherapy that targets cancers that are driven by mutations in the KRAS-gene—a prevalent driver of many human cancers. ELI-002 is comprised of two powerful components that are built with Elicio's AMP technology consisting of AMP-modified mutant KRAS peptide antigens and ELI-004, an AMP-modified CpG oligodeoxynucleotide adjuvant that is available as an o[-the-shelf subcutaneous administration. ELI-002 2P (2-peptide formulation) has been studied in the Phase 1 (AMPLIFY-201) trial in patients with high relapse risk mKRAS-driven solid tumors, following surgery and chemotherapy (NCT04853017). ELI-002 7P (7-peptide formulation) is currently being studied in a Phase 1/2 (AMPLIFY-7P) trial in patients with mKRAS-driven pancreatic cancer (NCT05726864). The ELI-002 7P formulation is designed to provide immune response coverage against seven of the most common KRAS mutations present in 25% of all solid tumors, thereby increasing the potential patient population for ELI-002. About the Amphiphile Platform Elicio's proprietary AMP platform delivers investigational immunotherapeutics directly to the "brain center" of the immune system – the lymph nodes. Elicio believes this site- specific delivery of disease-specific antigens, adjuvants and other immunomodulators may e[iciently educate, activate and amplify critical immune cells, potentially resulting in induction and persistence of potent adaptive immunity required to treat many diseases. In preclinical models, Elicio observed lymph node-specific engagement driving therapeutic immune responses of increased magnitude, function and durability. Elicio believes its AMP lymph node-targeted approach will produce superior clinical benefits compared to immunotherapies that do not engage the lymph nodes based on preclinical studies.

Elicio's AMP platform, originally developed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, has broad potential in the cancer space to advance a number of development initiatives through internal activities, in-licensing arrangements or development collaborations and partnerships. The AMP platform has been shown to deliver immunotherapeutics directly to the lymph nodes by latching on to the protein albumin, found in the local injection site, as it travels to lymphatic tissue.
