Terns Pharmaceuticals (Nasdaq: TERN) announced equity inducement awards granted to two new employees effective November 1, 2025 under the 2022 Employment Inducement Award Plan.
The company granted options to purchase a total of 252,500 shares of common stock with a 10-year term and an exercise price of $8.26 per share (closing price on October 31, 2025). The options vest over four years, subject to continued service, and were approved by the Compensation Committee in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c)(4).
Terns (NASDAQ: TERN) announced that Phase 1 CARDINAL data for TERN-701, an allosteric BCR::ABL1 inhibitor for previously treated CML, was selected for oral presentation at the 67th ASH Annual Meeting on December 8, 2025.
As of the June 30, 2025 cutoff (55 enrolled; 32 efficacy-evaluable), cumulative MMR was 75% (24/32) by 24 weeks, with 64% (14/22) achieving MMR and 100% (10/10) maintaining MMR. Safety was encouraging: no DLTs, MTD not reached, 87% remained on treatment, mostly low-grade TEAEs. Company will host an investor webcast on December 8, 2025 at 4:30pm ET.
Terns (NASDAQ: TERN) announced topline 12-week Phase 2 results for oral GLP-1RA TERN-601 on October 21, 2025. The trial showed up to 4.6% placebo-adjusted weight loss at doses >500 mg but did not meet the company’s threshold for a differentiated oral GLP-1RA and likely precludes further development. Safety findings included mainly mild-to-moderate GI adverse events (nausea 56%, vomiting 26.9%) and three post-treatment grade 3 liver enzyme elevations, two adjudicated as drug related. Terns will not advance TERN-601 or invest further in metabolic assets and will focus on TERN-701 for CML, with clinical data expected this quarter.
Terns Pharmaceuticals (Nasdaq: TERN) announced on Oct 2, 2025 that it granted equity inducement awards to four new employees under its 2022 Employment Inducement Award Plan, approved by the Compensation Committee under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c)(4).
The Company granted options to purchase a total of 118,000 shares of common stock, with a 10-year term and an exercise price of $7.81 per share (closing price on Oct 1, 2025). The options vest over four years, subject to continued service.
Terns Pharmaceuticals (Nasdaq: TERN) announced an upcoming investor educational webinar focused on TERN-701, their investigational next-generation oral BCR-ABL inhibitor for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML).

Two major clinical readouts are expected in Q4 2025: efficacy and safety data from the Phase 1 CARDINAL trial of TERN-701, including 6-month major molecular response rates, and 12-week data from the completed Phase 2 FALCON trial of TERN-601 for obesity.
Terns Pharmaceuticals (Nasdaq: TERN), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing small-molecule treatments for oncology and obesity, has granted equity inducement awards to two new employees. The company's new Chief People Officer Robin Andrulevich received options to purchase 500,000 shares of common stock, while another non-executive employee received options for 125,000 shares.

Terns Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:TERN) presented positive Phase 1 data for TERN-601, their novel once-daily oral GLP-1R agonist for obesity treatment, at the 85th ADA Scientific Sessions. The 28-day study demonstrated significant dose-dependent weight loss up to 5.5%, with 67% of patients losing 5% or more body weight at the top dose.
The drug showed a differentiated safety profile with no treatment-related interruptions and over 95% of GI adverse events being mild, despite rapid dose titration. TERN-601 features unique pharmaceutical properties allowing 24-hour target coverage and can be administered with or without food and various acid-reducing medications.

Terns Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: TERN) announced that preclinical data for its TERN-701, a next-generation allosteric BCR-ABL inhibitor for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), will be presented at the 30th European Hematology Association Congress in June 2025. The data demonstrates superior potency compared to asciminib across multiple BCR-ABL variants, including difficult-to-treat resistance mutations.
Early Phase 1 CARDINAL study results showed promising molecular responses in heavily pre-treated CML patients, with improved responses in those who had poor response to asciminib. The company expects to release additional safety and efficacy data, including 6-month major molecular response (MMR) rates, in Q4 2025.
