![](elicioq425prdraft_31226001.jpg)

Elicio Therapeutics Reports Full Year 2025 Financial Results and Provides Corporate Updates • Event-driven primary disease-free survival ("DFS") analysis for Phase 2 AMPLIFY-7P study evaluating ELI-002 7P in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma ("PDAC") is anticipated in 1H 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 efficacy outcomes. • Projected cash runway into Q3 2026, beyond the anticipated AMPLIFY-7P Phase 2 DFS analysis in 1H 2026 BOSTON, March 12, 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 year ended December 31, 2025, and provided recent corporate and clinical updates. "In 2025, we made meaningful progress advancing ELI-002 7P in KRAS-mutant pancreatic cancer," said Robert Connelly, Chief Executive Officer of Elicio. "We remain focused on completing the Phase 2 AMPLIFY-7P trial and reaching the event-driven primary DFS analysis expected in 1H 2026. We are encouraged by the continued observation of fewer disease progressions and deaths to date than projected in the 2:1 randomized trial, as well as by the durability of T-cell responses and clinical observations reported to date, which reinforce our confidence in ELI-002 7P's potential to favorably impact outcomes. With capital expected to carry us beyond the anticipated DFS readout, we believe we are well positioned to deliver this important milestone and continue advancing our Amphiphile ("AMP") platform in KRAS-mutant PDAC. We remain highly interested in the potential to expand the development of ELI-002 7P to neoadjuvant and metastatic PDAC and other KRAS+ tumors, with the goal of creating meaningful long-term value for patients and shareholders." Recent Highlights • In 2025, Elicio continued advancement of the randomized Phase 2 AMPLIFY-7P trial in post-resection mKRAS PDAC, with the event-driven primary DFS analysis remaining on track for an anticipated 1H 2026 readout

2025 Financial Results R&D expense for 2025 was $24.9 million, compared to $33.7 million for 2024. The decrease in R&D expense was primarily related to lower clinical costs as patients progressed into the observation phase of the Phase 2 study of ELI-002 7P. G&A expense for 2025 was $12.8 million, compared to $11.3 million for 2024. Net loss for 2025 was $39.5 million, compared to $51.9 million for 2024. Net loss for 2025 includes $1.9 million of non-cash other expense resulting from the change in fair value of the warrant liability. Net loss per share for 2025 was $2.58, compared to $4.25 for 2024. Cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2025, were $18.6 million, compared to $17.6 million as of December 31, 2024. The Company expects its current cash and cash equivalents and projected at-the-market program proceeds to support operations into Q3 2026, beyond the anticipated AMPLIFY-7P Phase 2 event-driven DFS analysis expected in 1H 2026. The Company raised net proceeds of approximately $4.9 million in Q4 2025 and $6.3 million in Q1 2026 to date, through its established at-the-market program.

(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 effective, off-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 off-the-shelf immunotherapy candidate targeting the most common KRAS mutations, which drives approximately 25% of all solid tumors. Elicio intends to expand ELI-002 7P clinical development not only for treatment in adjuvant pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, but also in neoadjuvant and metastatic PDAC settings, and for other mKRAS-positive cancers. Off-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, 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 off-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 off-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 efficiently 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.
