(NYSE American: TOVX), a diversified clinical-stage company developing therapeutics designed to treat cancer and related diseases in areas of high unmet need, today reported the out-licensing of SYN-020, to Rasayana Therapeutics, Inc., a privately-held company targeting the Gut-Organ axis biology to discover and deliver transformative gut-targeted medicines for patients with chronic inflammatory diseases.&nbsp;SYN-020 is a recombinant bovine intestinal alkaline phosphatase (IAP) produced under cGMP conditions and formulated for oral delivery to the small intestine. It is designed to reduce fat absorption and intestinal inflammation; tighten the gut barrier to mitigate leaky gut; and promote a healthy microbiome. These modes-of-action mean SYN-020 has the potential to address multiple metabolic and inflammatory disorders and diseases associated with aging. SYN-020 was well tolerated in Phase 1 clinical studies and is now poised to enter Phase 2 clinical testing with Rasayana.“We are extremely pleased to complete the license of SYN-020 to Rasayana, which will enable the advancement of this important GI asset from our portfolio while we focus on our lead pancreatic cancer program, VCN-01,” said Steven A. Shallcross, Chief Executive Officer of Theriva Biologics. “We believe SYN-020 is a highly versatile asset with therapeutic opportunities in multiple high-value indications arising from GI dysfunction. The Rasayana team and advisors are world leaders in IAP and its clinical applications, and they are well positioned to advance SYN-020 development, ideally delivering benefits for patients and value for Theriva shareholders.”&nbsp;“We are thrilled to partner with Theriva Biologics on the development of SYN-020,” said Vidisha Mohad, Founder and CEO of Rasayana Therapeutics. “SYN-020 offers a fundamentally innovative approach to addressing gastrointestinal dysfunction and its systemic health implications. Having worked on SYN-020 research during my postdoctoral training at Harvard, I have deep conviction in its underlying biology, scientific rigor, and therapeutic potential.

Preclinical data describing the synergistic antitumor effects observed when topotecan (a standard of care chemotherapy for retinoblastoma) is coadministered with VCN-01 will also be presented. 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.

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.

Shares of <a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/TOVX">Theriva Biologics Inc</a>. (TOVX) surged over 30% on Friday, making it one of the top trending tickers on Stocktwits, coming on the heels of several key developments that have caught the attention of retail investors.The rally began on Thursday after Theriva Biologics announced it had received a notice of allowance for a U.S. patent application related to treating C. difficile and other antibiotic-induced gastrointestinal tract conditions.Additionally, Theriva recently secured Rare Pediatric Drug Designation (RPDD) from the U.S. FDA for VCN-01, its experimental treatment for retinoblastoma, the most common type of eye cancer in children.
