Reports First Half 2026 Results and Development Update August 28, 2026 5:01 PM EDT | Source: Sharp Therapeutics Corp. Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - August 28, 2026) - Sharp Therapeutics Corp. (TSXV: SHRX) (OTCQB: SHRXF) (" Sharp " or the " Company "), announces the release of its unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the six-month period ended June 30, 2026, and related management discussion and analysis. All dollar figures are in United States dollars, unless otherwise stated. Scott Sneddon, Sharp's Chief Executive Officer, stated: "Our H1 financial results show our continued investment in research and development programs, mainly our GBA1, Niemann Pick C and Progranulin programs. Spending during the period was lower than H1 2025 because our work on selecting superior GCase compounds requires fewer formal studies than we performed in the prior period. We expect spending to return to the prior levels in H1 2027 as we restart formal studies. Our investment will continue as we aim for our next milestone of entering Phase I clinical trials in 2027."
