We made important strides in 2024 as we became a public company and continued to advance BBI-355, our oral, selective CHK1 inhibitor in the Phase 1/2 POTENTIATE trial in patients with oncogene amplified cancers, and we look forward to reporting preliminary proof-of-concept data in the second half of this year, said Zachary Hornby, President and CEO of Boundless Bio. Additionally, we have continued to identify new targets and are advancing an oral degrader of a novel kinesin identified by our Spyglass platform. We are on track to nominate a development candidate for our Kinesin program by mid-year, with the intention to submit an IND in the first half of 2026. We look forward to the year ahead as we continue to advance our pipeline to address the significant unmet need in patients with oncogene amplified cancers.

Forward-Looking Statements
Boundless Bio cautions you that statements contained in this press release regarding matters that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements are based on our current beliefs and expectations and include but are not limited to: the timing of expected preliminary clinical proof-of-concept data from the Phase 1/2 POTENTIATE trial, nomination of an ecDTx from the Kinesin program and submission of an IND for that ecDTx, the sufficiency of our cash position to fund operations and achievement of program milestones; and the potential therapeutic benefits of our ecDTx in treating patients with oncogene amplified cancers. Our
actual results and performance may differ materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statement set forth in this press release due to numerous known and unknown risks and uncertainties, including, without limitation: we are early in our development efforts and our approach to discover and develop ecDTx directed against ecDNA in oncogene amplified cancers is novel and unproven; risks inherent in the business of discovering, developing, obtaining regulatory approval for, and commercializing drugs for use as human therapeutics and operating as an early clinical-stage company; we only have one ecDTx in clinical development and all of our other development efforts are in the discovery and preclinical development stage; results from preclinical studies or early clinical trials not necessarily being predictive of future results; potential delays in the commencement, enrollment, data readouts or completion of clinical trials or preclinical studies, or submission of an IND; final data from our clinical trials may be materially different from interim, topline or preliminary data we publish as more patient data become available and/or data undergo more comprehensive reviews and audit and verification procedures; analytical validation of our ecDNA diagnostic not necessarily being predictive of its clinical validity and utility; our dependence on third parties in connection with clinical trials, preclinical studies, ecDNA diagnostic development, and manufacturing; unfavorable results from clinical trials or preclinical studies; we may expend our limited resources to pursue a particular ecDTx and fail to capitalize on ecDTx with greater development or commercial potential; unexpected adverse side effects or inadequate efficacy of our ecDTx that may limit their development, regulatory approval, and/or commercialization; the potential for our programs and prospects to be negatively impacted by developments relating to our competitors, including the results of studies or regulatory determinations relating to our competitors; regulatory developments in the United States and foreign countries; disruptions in how the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) operates, including due to staff reductions, could result in longer review periods for our regulatory submissions and delay advancement of our ecDTx; we may use our capital resources sooner than we expect; and other risks described in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including under the heading Risk Factors in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and any subsequent filings with the SEC. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof, and we undertake no obligation to update such statements to reflect events that occur or circumstances that exist after the date hereof.
