Overview We are a phase 3 clinical stage immuno-oncology company with three distinct technologies focused on the development of novel therapeutics designed to overcome primary and acquired resistance to cancer immunotherapies. Our proprietary Immune FxTM technology platform, or IFx, is an innate immune agonist technology designed to “trick” the body’s immune system to attack tumor cells by making tumor cells look like bacteria. Our lead product candidate, IFx2.0, is an innate immune agonist designed to overcome primary resistance to checkpoint inhibitors. In June 2025, we initiated a single randomized placebo-controlled Phase 3 registration trial of administered as an adjunctive therapy to Keytruda ® (pembrolizumab) in first line treatment for patients with advanced or metastatic Merkel cell carcinoma who are checkpoint inhibitor naïve utilizing the FDA’s accelerated approval pathway. In addition to our IFx technology platform, in June 2025 we acquired the rights to TBS-2025, a novel VISTA-inhibiting monoclonal antibody formerly known as KVA1213, through our acquisition of Kineta, Inc. (“Kineta”) on June 30, 2025. VISTA (otherwise referred to as V-domain Ig suppressor of T cell activation) is an immune checkpoint highly expressed on myeloid cells that is believed to be a strong driver of immunosuppression in the tumor microenvironment and is believed to be a primary mechanism by which leukemic blasts escape immune recognition contributing to low response rates and high rates of recurrence in acute myeloid leukemia, or AML. Following our acquisition of Kineta, we are currently planning on investigating TBS-2025 in a Phase1b/2 trial in patients with r/r mut NPM1AML. In addition to our IFx and TBS-2025, we are leveraging our Delta Opioid Receptor (DOR) technology to develop first-in-class bi-functional, bi-specific antibody-drug conjugates (“ADCs”) targeting the DOR on Myeloid Derived Suppressor Cells (“MDSCs”) to modulate their immunosuppressive influence on the bone marrow and tumor microenvironment to prevent T cell exhaustion and acquired resistance to checkpoint inhibitors and cellular therapies. Our History and Team We are a Nevada corporation originally formed on June 24, 2009 under the name Berry Only Inc. On January 25, 2013, we entered into and closed an exchange agreement, with Del Mar Pharmaceuticals (BC) Ltd. (“Del Mar (BC)”), 0959454 B.C. Ltd., and 0959456 B.C. Ltd. and the security holders of Del Mar (BC). Upon completion of the exchange agreement, Del Mar (BC) became our wholly-owned subsidiary. On August 19, 2020, we completed a merger with Adgero Biopharmaceuticals Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Adgero”), in which Adgero continued its existence under Delaware law and became our direct, wholly-owned subsidiary. Following the completion of the merger, we changed our name from Del Mar Pharmaceuticals, Inc. to Kintara Therapeutics, Inc. ("Kintara") and began trading on Nasdaq under the symbol “KTRA.” On October 18, 2024, Kintara completed its reverse merger transaction in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 2, 2024 (the “Kintara Merger Agreement”), by and among Kintara, TuHURA Biosciences, Inc. (“Legacy TuHURA”), and Kayak Mergeco, Inc., a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Kintara (“Merger Sub”). Pursuant to the Kintara Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Legacy TuHURA, with Legacy TuHURA surviving the merger and becoming our direct, wholly-owned subsidiary (the “Kintara Merger”). Effective at 12:03 a.m. Eastern Time on October 18, 2024, the merger was completed, and effective at 12:04 a.m. Eastern Time on October 18, 2024, Kintara Therapeutics, Inc. was renamed “TuHURA Biosciences, Inc.” On June 30, 2025, we completed the acquisition via merger of Kineta, Inc. (“Kineta”) pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated December 11, 2024, and as amended by that certain First Amendment to Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated May 5, 2025 (as amended, the “TuHURA-Kineta Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Hura Merger Sub I, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, Hura Merger Sub II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, Kineta, and Craig Philips, solely in his capacity the representative, agent and attorney-in-fact of the stockholders of Kineta.…
