Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Intensity Therapeutics, Inc. reported first quarter 2026 results and provided a clinical update. Net loss narrowed to $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared with $3.3 million a year earlier, as lower research and development spending offset bonus accruals.
Research and development expenses were $1.2 million versus $2.2 million in 2025, while general and administrative expenses were $1.3 million versus $1.2 million. Cash and cash equivalents totaled $10.2 million as of March 31, 2026. Early data from the Phase 2 INVINCIBLE-4 TNBC study showed higher pathological complete response rates and fewer severe adverse events in patients receiving INT230-6 before standard of care, and regulators approved resumption of enrollment. The company also plans to restart limited U.S. enrollment in its Phase 3 INVINCIBLE-3 soft tissue sarcoma study by the third quarter of 2026.

Insights
Loss narrowed with lower R&D spend as key trials restart.
Intensity Therapeutics reduced its quarterly net loss to $2.4 million from $3.3 million, mainly by cutting research and development to $1.2 million. Cash and cash equivalents were $10.2 million as of March 31, 2026, supporting ongoing clinical work.
Operationally, preliminary INVINCIBLE-4 data in presurgical TNBC showed higher pathological complete response rates and fewer severe adverse events for INT230-6 plus standard of care versus standard of care alone in a small cohort. Swiss regulators granted approval on March 26, 2026 to resume enrollment.
The company paused its Phase 3 INVINCIBLE-3 soft tissue sarcoma trial in March 2025 due to funding constraints but plans to resume enrollment at a limited number of U.S. sites by the third quarter of 2026. Actual clinical and financial impact will depend on future enrollment, funding, and more mature efficacy and safety data disclosed in subsequent filings or conference presentations.

6 terms
pathological complete response medical
"achieved a pathological complete response ("pCR") whereas two (2) out of six (6)"
Pathological complete response is when tissue examined under a microscope after cancer treatment and surgery shows no remaining invasive tumor cells. Investors care because it is a strong signal that a therapy is working, often used as a key endpoint in clinical trials and a predictor of better long‑term outcomes; like finding an empty crime scene after a cleanup, it can boost confidence in a drug’s market potential and regulatory prospects.
triple negative breast cancer medical
"triple negative breast cancer ("TNBC") patients receiving INT230-6 prior"
Triple negative breast cancer is a type of breast cancer that lacks three common markers used to identify and target the disease, making it more challenging to treat. It tends to grow and spread more quickly than other forms, which can lead to more aggressive outcomes. Its complexity can impact medical research and treatment developments, influencing investor interest in healthcare companies working on new therapies.
Phase 3 open-label, randomized study medical
"INVINCIBLE-3 Study: Phase 3 open-label, randomized study testing INT230-6"
intratumoral injection medical
"INT230-6, Intensity's lead proprietary investigational product candidate, is designed for direct intratumoral injection."
An intratumoral injection is a treatment delivered directly into a tumor rather than into the bloodstream or muscle; imagine putting weed killer precisely onto a single weed instead of spraying the whole garden. For investors, this matters because direct delivery can increase a therapy’s effectiveness and reduce systemic side effects, but it can also limit patient eligibility, complicate clinical trials and procedures, and affect commercial scalability and regulatory review.
adaptive immune response medical
"demonstrated the ability of INT230-6 to kill tumors and elicit an adaptive immune response within days"
neoadjuvant medical
"undergo pre-surgical (neoadjuvant) systemic therapy in advance to reduce the risk"
"Neoadjuvant" describes treatments or interventions that are given before the main or primary procedure, such as surgery or a major decision. It’s like preparing the ground before planting seeds, aiming to improve the final outcome. For investors, understanding neoadjuvant approaches can provide insight into how companies enhance results or effectiveness in their processes or products.

Exhibit 99.1
Intensity Therapeutics Reports First Quarter 2026 Financial Results and Provides Corporate Update
•Cash and cash equivalents of $10.2 million as of March 31, 2026
•Favorable efficacy and safety reported in a small sample of triple negative breast cancer (“TNBC”) patients receiving INT230-6 prior to the standard of care (“SOC”) compared to SOC alone in the INVINCIBLE-4 Study (as defined below)
•Approval to resume enrollment obtained in the INVINCIBLE-4 Study; plans to resume enrollment in the second quarter of 2026
•Decision to resume enrollment in a limited number of U.S. sites in the INVINCIBLE-3 Study (as defined below) by the third quarter of 2026
Shelton, Conn., May 7, 2026 – Intensity Therapeutics, Inc. (“Intensity” or “the Company”) (Nasdaq: INTS), a late-stage clinical biotechnology company focused on the discovery and development of novel intratumoral cancer therapies that are designed to kill tumors and increase immune system recognition of cancers using its proprietary non-covalent conjugation technology, announces first quarter 2026 financial results and provides a corporate update.
Corporate Update
INVINCIBLE-4 Study: Phase 2 randomized open-label, multicenter study to analyze the clinical activity, safety, and tolerability of INT230-6 given before administration of the SOC treatment in patients with early-stage, operable triple negative breast cancer and SOC alone.
In March 2026, the Company reported the following:
•Preliminary observations of the INVINCIBLE-4 Study showed that five (5) out of seven (7) patients (71.4%) who received INT230-6 prior to SOC (“Cohort A”) achieved a pathological complete response ("pCR") whereas two (2) out of six (6) (33%) patients in the SOC arm alone (“Cohort B”) achieved a pCR, with one patient still to be evaluated.
•Forty-four percent (44%) fewer grade 3 or higher adverse events were observed in Cohort A compared to Cohort B.
•A protocol amendment was submitted to Swissmedic, Switzerland's regulatory authority, and the Switzerland Ethics Committee to resume enrollment. Full approval to resume enrollment was granted on March 26, 2026. The Company plans to resume enrollment in the second quarter of 2026.
The Company expects presentation of more detailed results for the seven (7) Cohort A patients at a future oncology conference.
INVINCIBLE-3 Study: Phase 3 open-label, randomized study testing INT230-6 as monotherapy compared to the SOC drugs in second- and third-line treatment for specific soft tissue sarcoma subtypes.
In March 2025, the Company paused new site activations and patient enrollments due to funding constraints. Before this pause, the trial had enrolled 21 patients. The Company has continued to treat patients enrolled in this study, maintain the database, conduct pharmacovigilance, and conduct other study-related activities in cooperation with its third-party contract research organizations at significantly reduced ongoing costs during this pause. In April 2026, the Company decided to resume enrollment in the INVINCIBLE-3 Study in a limited number of U.S. sites by the third quarter of 2026, and has prioritized commencing full patient enrollment and site activations in this study once sufficient incremental funding is obtained.
Lewis H. Bender, Founder, President, and CEO, stated, “The Company made excellent progress in the first quarter. We announced early data from the INVINCIBLE-4 Study, our randomized controlled study in TNBC, showing the possibilities for INT230-6 to increase efficacy while also potentially improving safety. We are now seeking additional patients in our
INVINCIBLE-4 Study in Switzerland and expect to initiate enrollment in France in the second or third quarter of 2026. Further, after a successful funding campaign in 2025 and the establishment of a $60 million ATM facility in March 2026, we have made the decision to reinitiate enrollment of our INVINCIBLE-3 Study and plan to manage our cash burn judiciously. Both of our clinical trials focus on indications with high unmet medical need.”
First Quarter 2026 Financial Results
Research and development expenses were $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $2.2 million for the same period in 2025. The decrease was primarily due to lower INVINCIBLE-3 Study costs. In March 2025, the Company paused new site activations and patient enrollments in the INVINCIBLE-3 Study due to funding constraints. Prior to this pause, the trial had enrolled 21 patients. The Company has continued to treat all patients enrolled in this study in cooperation with our third-party contract research organizations during this pause. The Company plans to resume enrollment in the INVINCIBLE-3 Study in a limited number of U.S. sites by the third quarter of 2026, and has prioritized commencing full patient enrollment and site activations once sufficient funding is obtained. In addition, lower headcount-related costs in 2026 were entirely offset by an estimated bonus accrual during the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to no bonus accrual during the three months ended March 31, 2025.
General and administrative expenses were $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $1.2 million for the same period in 2025. The increase was due to an estimated bonus accrual during the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to no bonus accrual during the three months ended March 31, 2025. This increase was partially offset by lower stock-based compensation and one-time expenses related to our reverse stock split in February 2026.
Overall, net loss was $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to a net loss of $3.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
As of March 31, 2026, cash and cash equivalents totaled $10.2 million.
About Triple Negative Breast Cancer in the Presurgical Setting
Women with aggressive forms of breast cancer, such as Triple Negative Breast Cancer ("TNBC"), are often counseled to undergo pre-surgical (neoadjuvant) systemic therapy in advance to reduce the risk of the disease returning. Having a pathological complete response, meaning the absence of live cancer at the time of surgery, has been shown to result in a lower risk of disease recurrence from 50% to 16% at 5 years. Approximately 11 to 17% of breast cancers test negative for estrogen receptors ("ER"), progesterone receptors (PR), and overexpression of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 ("HER2") protein, qualifying them as triple negative. There are approximately 56,000 new cases of TNBC in the US and 420,000 worldwide diagnosed each year, 85% of which are local to the breast. TNBC is considered to be more aggressive and has a poorer prognosis than other types of breast cancer, because there are fewer available targeted medicines. Most patients with local TNBC typically receive immunochemotherapy before surgery. Since the publication of Keynote-522, the standard neoadjuvant treatment for TNBC includes systemic chemotherapy (anthracyclines, cyclophosphamide, paclitaxel, carboplatin) and the anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody pembrolizumab. pCR rates range from 50 to 65%, depending on tumor size. Rates are generally lower in the larger-sized tumors or with lymph node metastasis. The toxicity of the Keynote-522 regimen is high, with 77% of patients experiencing grade 3 or higher treatment-related AEs, including treatment-related adverse events that lead to death in 0.5% of patients.
About Sarcoma
Soft tissue sarcoma is a rare type of cancer that starts with the growth of cells in the body's soft tissue, such as muscle, fat, blood vessels, nerves, tendons, and linings of the joints. The disease mostly occurs in the arms, legs and belly. There are 197,000 patients in the US living with sarcoma and more than 100 types of soft tissue sarcoma, the treatment of which first involves surgery. Other treatments might include radiation therapy and then chemotherapy. Using the U.S. SEER database, the Company estimated that 14,400 patients have regional or distal (metastatic) leiomyosarcoma, liposarcoma, and undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma.
About INT230-6
INT230-6, Intensity's lead proprietary investigational product candidate, is designed for direct intratumoral injection. INT230-6 was discovered using Intensity's proprietary DfuseRx℠ technology platform. The drug consists of two proven,
2
potent anti-cancer agents, cisplatin and vinblastine sulfate, and a diffusion and cell penetration enhancer molecule ("SHAO") that non-covalently conjugates to the two payload drugs, facilitating the dispersion of potent cytotoxic drugs throughout tumors and allowing the active agents to diffuse into cancer cells. These agents remain in the tumor, resulting in a favorable safety profile. In addition to local disease control and direct tumor killing, INT230-6 causes a release of a bolus of neoantigens specific to the malignancy, leading to immune system engagement and systemic anti-tumor effects. Importantly, these effects are mediated without immunosuppression, which often occurs with systemic chemotherapy.
About Intensity Therapeutics
Intensity is a late-stage clinical biotechnology company whose novel engineered chemistry enables aqueous cytotoxic-containing drug formulations to mix and saturate a tumor's dense, high-fat, pressurized environment following direct intratumoral injection. As a result of the saturation, Intensity's clinical trials have demonstrated the ability of INT230-6 to kill tumors and elicit an adaptive immune response within days of injection, representing a new approach to cancer cell death that holds the potential to shift the treatment paradigm and turn many deadly cancers into chronic diseases even for malignancies that do not respond to conventional immunotherapy. Intensity has completed two clinical studies that enrolled over 200 patients using INT230-6: a Phase 1/2 dose escalation study in metastatic cancers including sarcomas (NCT03058289), and a Phase 2 randomized control clinical trial in locally advanced breast cancer (the "INVINCIBLE-2 Study") (NCT04781725) in women without undergoing chemotherapy prior to their surgery. The Company initiated a Phase 3 trial in soft tissue sarcoma (the "INVINCIBLE-3 Study") (NCT06263231), testing INT230-6 as second or third-line monotherapy compared to the SOC with overall survival as an endpoint. Intensity also initiated a Phase 2 study in collaboration with The Swiss Group for Clinical Cancer Research, formerly SAKK, now the Swiss Cancer Institute (the "INVINCIBLE-4 Study") (NCT06358573) as part of a Phase 2/3 program evaluating INT230-6 followed by the SOC immunochemotherapy and the SOC alone for patients with presurgical triple-negative breast cancer. pCR is the endpoint.

How did Intensity Therapeutics’ operating expenses change year over year?
Total operating expenses fell to $2.5 million in Q1 2026 from $3.4 million in Q1 2025. The decline came mainly from lower INVINCIBLE-3 trial costs, while general and administrative expenses increased slightly due to a bonus accrual offset by lower stock-based compensation.
What is Intensity Therapeutics’ cash position as of March 31, 2026?
As of March 31, 2026, Intensity Therapeutics held $10.2 million in cash and cash equivalents. Total current assets were $10.9 million, and total assets were $12.3 million, providing resources to support its ongoing clinical trials and corporate activities.
What early results did Intensity report from the INVINCIBLE-4 TNBC study?
In INVINCIBLE-4, 5 of 7 INT230-6 plus standard-of-care patients achieved pathological complete response versus 2 of 6 on standard-of-care alone. Grade 3 or higher adverse events were 44% lower in the INT230-6 cohort, based on preliminary observations in this small sample.
Is Intensity Therapeutics resuming enrollment in its INVINCIBLE-3 sarcoma trial?
Yes. After pausing INVINCIBLE-3 in March 2025 due to funding constraints, Intensity plans to resume enrollment in a limited number of U.S. sites by the third quarter of 2026. The company prioritizes full enrollment and site activations once sufficient incremental funding is obtained.
What is INT230-6 and how is it designed to work?
INT230-6 is Intensity’s lead intratumoral investigational product combining cisplatin, vinblastine sulfate, and a diffusion enhancer molecule. It is designed to disperse cytotoxic agents throughout tumors, kill cancer cells locally, release neoantigens, and engage the immune system without systemic immunosuppression seen with conventional chemotherapy.
