Solana is a high-performance Layer 1 blockchain designed for mass adoption by providing a fast, secure, and low-cost environment for decentralized applications. It distinguishes itself by scaling globally without the use of complex sharding or multiple layers, instead maintaining a single, unified ledger to avoid liquidity fragmentation. This architecture allows it to process thousands of transactions per second with sub-second finality, often at a cost of less than a penny per transaction.  The network operates on a unique hybrid model that combines Proof of Stake with an innovation called Proof of History, which functions as a decentralized clock to timestamp transactions. This system reduces the need for constant node communication, allowing the Sealevel engine to run non-conflicting smart contracts in parallel across multiple CPU cores. Further efficiency is gained through the Gulf Stream protocol, which reduces confirmation times by forwarding transactions to validators before the current block is finished.  Founded in 2017 by Anatoly Yakovenko, Solana is now supported by the Switzerland-based Solana Foundation and significant institutional investors like Andreessen Horowitz and Polychain Capital. The platform’s native token, SOL, serves as the primary currency for paying transaction fees, participating in network governance, and securing the system through staking.   Solana has also seen significant institutional adoption ranging from spot Solana ETFs to major partnerships including Visa's 2025 launch of USDC settlement on the network and the tokenization of public equity by firms like Galaxy Digital.

March 23, 2026 08:00 ET– Successful meeting with FDA enables advancement into proposed Phase 3 clinical trial of VCN-01 in combination with gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel for the first-line treatment of metastatic PDAC –– Combined feedback from FDA and previously from EMA enables company to finalize protocol for pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial while pursuing strategic funding opportunitiesROCKVILLE, Md., March 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Theriva™ Biologics (NYSE American: TOVX), a diversified clinical-stage company developing therapeutics designed to treat cancer and related diseases in areas of high unmet need, today announced the outcomes of a recent Type B End-of-Phase 2 (EOP2) meeting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regarding the design of a Phase 3 clinical study of lead clinical candidate VCN-01 in combination with standard-of-care chemotherapy for the treatment of metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC).The FDA provided general agreement with Theriva’s proposed design for a Phase 3 clinical trial, which closely tracks the design of the successful VIRAGE Phase 2 trial. As <a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=1rhvDbgOJNdn_nUS60Ig7uHA0o8bKL-nrG5Vgf7tmGuUHPng-K2dgfCMRcGxfoDLmwPOqMeQBAbEeYk-fIugIhzcdhPbc9esREMtde3tOonEFzmribZRnTIWHFT6gUW2QNJ2aD-3k9TWTs0IXDAiuZppzMiUaJhQfNERTE9RduADRqdvYcRVExArCGNKRAQ_bB2BPzUaLTDRF3PpX2vBQ6PfjjLrLqKP3xhNf72bvgdvZ5iivNwlp5HUUpjq05ttiExuN7JvBT6uodYUmj4_n8J1nMOPRnqid-lUGGAIX70z0Lvgos5bElPUMC7ys--dQaofIV3vmaXWFUKi5DT9-14irY66dWDSGwsvQV1DeZo=">announced</a> in 2025, the VIRAGE trial met its primary endpoints, with metastatic PDAC patients receiving VCN-01 with SoC chemotherapy having improved overall survival (OS), progression free survival (PFS) and Duration of Response (DoR) compared to SoC chemotherapy alone. Greater improvements in OS and PFS were observed in patients who received two doses of VCN-01, leading Theriva to plan the Phase 3 trial to include repeat dosing and an adaptive design aimed to optimize the trial’s timelines and outcomes. .Consistent with scientific advice <a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=SMqIV6-Aw0DqxEsoI1oXVyQk7KVkrHtJRbGU10eC4to7xxdbXVlBmB9IENgyZcIrYU-UPllZcui7bYKoJjd1ivEfsHQ5UlcOhXClGyybPz5OaHEIdbLC5r_2FgM_dATK3EyoEULF2VGO499-F9o5wua4jLUiULU3ly__A3NB6_AVxmtKuEYShn1o5_E-_BpHJCgw0Kpd-x8jTywv1_3f62pUySpKKFVD87UOnFqV84CRnixHBa5Dw-nYtAjHkwnfSNR174YmrETtQbLgXSWrTAV6OnM8NWI5gmGcXAR6BCU61vvwqYI3z5Vd2p_0mViCP7Cn7gZkgAPkWtnHt_ycD4Rm6Sj9W5cn13fAoVwfc3YTloOkksBXc-E2-uUzLOoo">previously received</a> from the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) of the European Medicines Agency (EMA), the FDA advised that a potential biologics licensing application (BLA) for VCN-01 in metastatic PDAC could be supported by Theriva’s proposed Phase 3 clinical trial (if successful) comprising a single, high-quality, randomized, double-blinded, study comparing VCN-01 plus gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel SoC to gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel SoC plus placebo. The FDA further agreed on the proposed dosing of VCN-01 and gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel in repeated “macrocycles” (enabling more than 2 doses of VCN-01 to be administered in the Phase 3 trial), the proposed inclusion/exclusion criteria, the primary endpoint (overall survival), key secondary endpoints (including progression free survival), and the use of an adaptive design. The FDA also clarified statistical expectations regarding the proposed interim analyses and the quality of data required for potential sample size re-estimation or a demonstration of early efficacy.“We are very pleased to align with the FDA on the key elements of our proposed pivotal Phase 3 trial evaluating VCN-01 plus gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel SoC in metastatic PDAC patients,” said Steven A. Shallcross, Chief Executive Officer of Theriva Biologics. “Data from our VIRAGE Phase 2b study demonstrated improved outcomes in PDAC patients treated with 2 doses of VCN-01 and we believe that administering multiple macrocycles of VCN-01 and gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel that may further improve patient outcomes. The combined feedback from the FDA and the EMA now enables us to finalize the protocol for a pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial and pursue development funding and/or partnerships, which, if successful, may deliver a novel and effective treatment option for patients with this difficult to treat solid tumor cancer.”About Pancreatic Ductal AdenocarcinomaCancer of the pancreas consists of two main histological types: cancer that arises from the ductal (exocrine) cells of the pancreas or, much less often, cancers may arise from the endocrine compartment of the pancreas. Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (“PDAC”) accounts for more than 90% of all pancreatic tumors. It can be located either in the head of the pancreas or in the body/tail. Pancreatic cancer usually metastasizes to the liver and peritoneum. Other less common metastatic sites are the lungs, brain, kidney, and bone. In its early stages, pancreatic cancer does not typically result in any characteristic symptoms. In many instances, progressive abdominal pain is the first symptom. Therefore, in most cases, pancreatic cancer is diagnosed in its late stages (locally advanced non-metastatic or metastatic stage of the disease) when surgical resection and possibly curative treatment is not possible. It is generally assumed that only 10% of cases are resectable at presentation, whereas 30-40% of patients are diagnosed at local advanced/unresectable stage and 50-60% present with distant metastases.About VCN-01VCN-01 is a systemically administered oncolytic adenovirus designed to selectively and aggressively replicate within tumor cells and degrade the tumor stroma that serves as a significant physical and immunosuppressive barrier to cancer treatment. This unique mode-of-action enables VCN-01 to exert multiple antitumor effects by (i) selectively infecting and lysing tumor cells; (ii) enhancing the access and perfusion of co-administered chemotherapy products; and (iii) increasing tumor immunogenicity and exposing the tumor to the patient’s immune system and co-administered immunotherapy products. Systemic administration enables VCN-01 to exert its actions on both the primary tumor and metastases. VCN-01 has been administered to 142 patients to date in Company- and investigator-sponsored clinical trials of different cancers, including PDAC (in combination with chemotherapy), head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (with an immune checkpoint inhibitor), ovarian cancer (with CAR-T cell therapy), colorectal cancer, and retinoblastoma (by intravitreal injection). More information on these clinical trials is available at Clinicaltrials.gov.About Theriva™ Biologics, Inc.Theriva™ Biologics (NYSE American: TOVX), is a diversified clinical-stage company developing therapeutics designed to treat cancer and related diseases in areas of high unmet need. The Company is advancing a new oncolytic adenovirus platform designed for intravenous (IV), intravitreal and antitumoral delivery to trigger tumor cell death, improve access of co-administered cancer therapies to the tumor, and promote a robust and sustained anti-tumor response by the patient’s immune system. The Company’s lead clinical-stage candidates is VCN-01 (zabilugene almadenorepvec), an oncolytic adenovirus designed to replicate selectively and aggressively within tumor cells, and to degrade the tumor stroma barrier that serves as a significant physical and immunosuppressive barrier to cancer treatment. An exploratory clinical trial is also on-going with SYN-004 (ribaxamase) which is designed to degrade certain commonly used IV beta-lactam antibiotics within the gastrointestinal (GI) tract to prevent microbiome damage, thereby limiting overgrowth of pathogenic organisms such as VRE (vancomycin resistant Enterococci) and reducing the incidence and severity of acute graft-versus-host-disease (aGVHD) in allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) recipients.

These data will be presented during a retinoblastoma focused session at the upcoming Asia-Pacific Academy of Ophthalmology (APAO) Congress (held in conjunction with the 37thAnnual Scientific Meeting Hong Kong Ophthalmological Symposium) taking place in Hong Kong, China, 5-8 February 2026.&nbsp;Details of the presentation can be found <a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=tNHDcbYkw6QgsozmQVCV8LQ4aTYsU_XNvjMA_g5TstEs-pckD_WX3j9BnnaHV3_z_8or3c9jjqdEB_nzrNUBX_jnp8z0HlzdOtuLudXTyKWHRFH-9eJtNAXRMj_D30Uj">online</a> and below.<ul><li>Presenting Author: Dr. Jaume Català-Mora, Pediatric Ophthalmologist, Sant Joan de Déu-Barcelona Children’s Hospital</li><li>Title: Update on Oncolytic Adenovirus VCN-01 Trial in Retinoblastoma</li><li>Session: 0211 Retinoblastoma in Association With Asian Retinoblastoma Group</li><li>Date &amp; Time: Saturday 07 February, 2026, at 4:46 PM HKT (3:46 AM US EDT)</li><li>Location: Rooms S224-225, Level 2, Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC) &nbsp;</li></ul>“We are very pleased with the on-going international interest in the novel clinical and preclinical findings by our collaborators treating retinoblastoma patients at Sant Joan de Déu-Barcelona Children’s Hospital,” said Steven A. Shallcross, Chief Executive Officer of Theriva Biologics. “Effective treatment of refractory retinoblastoma with vitreous seeds remains a significant unmet medical need for pediatric patients with this condition worldwide. Based on our previously reported Phase 1 clinical <a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=ndEUifZXBX0beJKpblsn4l3WNy9v6SPzYN6472Z3tMuJHqxLesgsKvlFh8uhvvcve7VvQloR2cb6CQLkjepQg6nwP98Ywnl5KBtO-ct4zKeDD8Jz0o3wHfOvKHaNIGeu">data</a>, and the emerging preclinical findings, we believe that the intravitreal combination of VCN-01 and topotecan provides an exciting new opportunity to address this challenge and help preserve the eyes and quality-of-life of children with this rare but devastating cancer. VCN-01 has Orphan Drug and Rare Pediatric Disease designations for the treatment of retinoblastoma, and we are currently refining a potential pivotal clinical trial design in this indication for discussion with regulatory agencies.”About VCN-01VCN-01 (zabilugene almadenorepvec) is a systemically administered oncolytic adenovirus designed to selectively and aggressively replicate within tumor cells and degrade the tumor stroma that serves as a significant physical and immunosuppressive barrier to cancer treatment. This unique mode-of-action enables VCN-01 to exert multiple antitumor effects by (i) selectively infecting and lysing tumor cells; (ii) enhancing the access and perfusion of co-administered chemotherapy products; and (iii) increasing tumor immunogenicity and exposing the tumor to the patient’s immune system and co-administered immunotherapy products. Systemic administration enables VCN-01 to exert its actions on both the primary tumor and metastases. VCN-01 has been administered to over 140 patients to date in clinical trials of different cancers, including PDAC (in combination with chemotherapy), head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (with an immune checkpoint inhibitor), ovarian cancer (with CAR-T cell therapy), colorectal cancer, and retinoblastoma (by intravitreal injection). More information on these clinical trials is available at Clinicaltrials.gov. VCN-01 has Orphan Drug designation from the EMA and both Orphan Drug designation and Fast Track designation from the FDA for the treatment of pancreatic cancer. VCN-01 also has Orphan Drug designation and Rare Pediatric Diseases designation from the FDA for the treatment of retinoblastoma.&nbsp;About RetinoblastomaRetinoblastoma is a tumor that originates in the retina and is the most common type of eye cancer in children. It occurs in approximately 1/14,000 - 1/18,000 live newborns and accounts for 15% of the tumors in the pediatric population &lt; 1 year old. The average age of pediatric patients at diagnosis is 2, and it rarely occurs in children older than 6. In Europe, retinoblastoma has an estimated incidence rate of 1 per 13,844 live births (14.1 per million children under the age of 5) with approximately 300 children diagnosed per year (<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=bdwE4r7sy1MWwrIxf22JOGA7c7zt9J7zsbC2MgiwMD8ROr7SJbrucThnwSGxmDz3MR6uvdjupNm4w-W6JM2T5_ku9I7MZPAeSsHo5R3xqvYwAeWlPPIsoPoud3fUA4hI7f9FTUupCfakveniiQ3-dA==">Stacey et al. 2021</a>). Preserving life and preventing the loss of an eye, blindness, and other serious effects of treatment that reduce the patient’s life span or the quality of life remains a challenge. In addition, children with retinoblastoma have been more likely to lose their eye and die of metastatic disease in low-resource countries.&nbsp;About Theriva™ Biologics, Inc.Theriva™ Biologics (NYSE American: TOVX), is a diversified clinical-stage company developing therapeutics designed to treat cancer and related diseases in areas of high unmet need. The Company’s subsidiary Theriva Biologics, S.L. , has been developing a new oncolytic adenovirus platform designed for intravenous (IV), intravitreal and antitumoral delivery to trigger tumor cell death, improve access of co-administered cancer therapies to the tumor, and promote a robust and sustained anti-tumor response by the patient’s immune system. The Company’s lead clinical-stage candidates are: (1) VCN-01 (zabilugene almadenorepvec), an oncolytic adenovirus designed to replicate selectively and aggressively within tumor cells, and to degrade the tumor stroma barrier that serves as a significant physical and immunosuppressive barrier to cancer treatment; (2) SYN-004 (ribaxamase) which is designed to degrade certain commonly used IV beta-lactam antibiotics within the gastrointestinal (GI) tract to prevent microbiome damage, thereby limiting overgrowth of pathogenic organisms such as VRE (vancomycin resistant Enterococci) and reducing the incidence and severity of acute graft-versus-host-disease (aGVHD) in allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) recipients); and (3) SYN-020, a recombinant oral formulation of the enzyme intestinal alkaline phosphatase (IAP) produced under cGMP conditions and intended to treat both local GI and systemic diseases.
