## Exhibit 99.1

**Exhibit 99.1** 

**NuCana Cancels All Outstanding Series A Warrants Following Strategic ATM Execution** 

Edinburgh, United Kingdom, July 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – NuCana plc (NASDAQ: NCNA) ("NuCana" or the "Company") announces it has successfully canceled all remaining Series A Warrants, issued in the registered direct offering on May 7, 2025, pursuant to its letter agreements with the holders of the Series A Warrants, having raised the full amount of capital required to complete the cancellation through its at-the-market offering.

This follows the Company's June 27, 2025 announcement of the agreements to cancel the remaining Series A Warrants, 59.5 million as at June 26, 2025, in exchange for a payment of $3.6 million. This initiative fully eliminates all overhanging rights from the registered direct offering in May 2025.

For additional details, refer to the Company's Form 6-K filed with the SEC on June 27, 2025.

**About NuCana** 

NuCana is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on significantly improving treatment outcomes for patients with cancer by applying our ProTide technology to transform some of the most widely prescribed chemotherapy agents, nucleoside analogs, into more effective and safer medicines. While these conventional agents remain part of the standard of care for the treatment of many solid and hematological tumors, they have significant shortcomings that limit their efficacy and they are often poorly tolerated. Utilizing our proprietary technology, we are developing new medicines, ProTides, designed to overcome the key limitations of nucleoside analogs and generate much higher concentrations of anti-cancer metabolites in cancer cells. NuCana's pipeline includes NUC-7738 and NUC-3373. NUC-7738 is a novel anti-cancer agent that disrupts RNA polyadenylation, profoundly impacts gene expression in cancer cells and targets multiple aspects of the tumor microenvironment. NUC-7738 is in the Phase 2 part of a Phase 1/2 study which is evaluating NUC-7738 as a monotherapy in patients with advanced solid tumors and in combination with pembrolizumab in patients with melanoma. NUC-3373 is a new chemical entity derived from the nucleoside analog 5-fluorouracil, a widely used chemotherapy agent. NUC-3373 is currently being evaluated in a Phase 1b/2 modular study (NuTide:303) of NUC-3373 in combination with the PD-1 inhibitor pembrolizumab for patients with advanced solid tumors and in combination with docetaxel for patients with lung cancer.
