**Azitra, Inc. Announces Q1 2026 Results and Provides Business Updates**

BRANFORD, Conn. – May 13, 2026 — Azitra, Inc. ("Azitra" or the "Company") (NYSE American: AZTR), a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing innovative therapies for precision dermatology, today reported financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, and provided a business update.

**Q1 2026 and Recent Business Highlights**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Announced the addition of MD Anderson Cancer Center as a clinical site for Phase 1/2 trial of ATR-04 targeting EGFRi-associated skin rash.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Launched innovative protein and peptide programs for the cosmetic and cosmeceutical markets leveraging proprietary filaggrin technologies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Secured new U.S. patent covering ATR-12, the Company's lead product candidate being developed for Netherton syndrome.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Announced poster presentation at American Society of Gene and Cell Therapy Annual Meeting (ASGCT) 2026 highlighting ATR-01 preclinical data and the broader potential of Azitra's engineered live biotherapeutic platform.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Priced private placement financing of up to approximately $10.5 million, with up to an additional approximately $20.9 million upon exercise of warrants.

"The first quarter of 2026 marked a period of meaningful execution across our clinical and strategic priorities as we continue to advance Azitra's leadership in precision dermatology," said Francisco Salva, CEO of Azitra. "Notably, we significantly grew the clinical footprint for our Phase 1/2 Trial of ATR-04 targeting EGFRi-associated skin rash by adding the world-renowned MD Anderson Cancer Center, which is one of the world's premier oncology institutions. We believe the addition of MD Anderson will serve to enhance patient access and support efficient trial execution in EGFR inhibitor-associated rash—a condition impacting the majority of patients receiving these therapies."

Mr. Salva continued: "In parallel, we expanded our strategic footprint with the launch of our cosmeceutical initiative, leveraging our proprietary filaggrin protein and peptide technologies to potentially address large and growing consumer markets. Based on our preliminary research, we are confident that our technologies and expertise can offer an exciting new way to address the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles as well as dry sensitive skin and eczema-like rashes. As such, this program represents a compelling opportunity to extend our platform beyond therapeutics and create additional avenues for value creation."

Mr. Salva added: "We are also highlighting our platform this week at ASGCT 2026, where we are presenting ATR-01 preclinical data that underscores the potential of our engineered live biotherapeutics. With this scientific visibility occurring alongside our quarterly update, we believe it reinforces the continued progress and relevance of our platform within the broader gene and cell therapy landscape."

------

Mr. Salva concluded: "We are also excited to report the recent issuance of a new U.S. patent providing broad protection for our lead product, ATR-12, which we are advancing in a Phase 1b clinical trial for Netherton syndrome. With a strengthened balance sheet, expanding clinical execution, and multiple near-term catalysts, we believe Azitra is well positioned to drive continued progress across both our therapeutic pipeline and emerging cosmeceutical platform."

**<u>Pipeline Achievements and Upcoming Milestones</u>**

**ATR-COSF - New Consumer Initiative to Improve the Appearance of Fine Lines and Wrinkles**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Results from synthesized filaggrin ingredients, repeat application study on explanted cosmetic surgery skin, expected mid-2026.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Human cosmetic application study planned for Q3 2026.

**ATR-12 - Advancing Phase 1b Clinical Trial in Netherton Syndrome**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ATR12-351, a live biotherapeutic product candidate has been generally safe and well-tolerated with occasional, transient, mild to moderate symptoms at application site to date.

**About Azitra, Inc.**

Azitra, Inc. is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing innovative therapies for precision dermatology. The Company's lead program, ATR-12, uses an engineered strain of *S. epidermidis* designed to treat Netherton syndrome, a rare, chronic skin disease with no approved treatment options. Netherton syndrome may be fatal in infancy with those living beyond a year having profound lifelong challenges. The ATR-12 program includes a Phase 1b clinical trial in adult Netherton syndrome patients. ATR-04, Azitra's additional advanced program, utilizes another engineered strain of S. epidermidis for the treatment of EGFR inhibitor ("EGFRi") associated rash. Azitra has received Fast Track designation from the FDA for EGFRi associated rash, which impacts approximately 150,000 people in the U.S. Azitra has an open IND for its ATR-04 program in patients with EGFRi associated rash. The ATR-12 and ATR-04 programs were developed from Azitra's proprietary platform of engineered proteins and topical live biotherapeutic products that includes a microbial library comprised of approximately 1,500 bacterial strains. The platform is augmented by artificial intelligence and machine learning technology that analyzes, predicts, and helps screen the library of strains for drug like molecules. Azitra is also developing its proprietary filaggrin protein and peptide technologies for the consumer, cosmeceutical market. The new initiative is the first amongst

others, which aims to leverage Azitra's microbial genetic engineering platform to manufacture innovative proteins and peptides for the cosmetic and research markets. For more information, please visit https://azitrainc.com.
