Financial Results and Provides Corporate Updates
Phase 2 Trial for GX-03 in Moderate-to-Severe
Atopic Dermatitis (AD) on Track, Topline Results Expected Mid-2026
Initial Tranche of $7 Million in Growth Capital
has been Funded by Avenue Capital Group
Westlake Village, CA - May 11, 2026 - Turn
Therapeutics Inc. (Nasdaq: TTRX), a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing targeted inflammatory and immunological therapies
for dermatologic conditions, today reported financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and provided corporate updates.
"The first quarter of 2026 materially
strengthened Turn Therapeutics both operationally and financially," said Bradley Burnam, Chief Executive Officer of Turn
Therapeutics. "With the Avenue Capital facility now in place, we believe the Company is well positioned to advance our
clinical programs through multiple near-term catalysts while maintaining focus on disciplined execution. Our Phase 2 trial
evaluating GX-03 in moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis remains on schedule, with an independent committee expected to assess
conditional probability of success at the interim analysis and determine whether the study should continue as designed or expand
enrollment based on the strength of the observed trend. We continue to expect topline results in mid-2026 and believe these
upcoming milestones have the potential to meaningfully shape the future of both our platform and pipeline."
