Exhibit 99.1 Corbus Pharmaceuticals Reports Q2 2026 Financial Results and Provides a Corporate Update • Obtained FDA clearance to proceed with registrational study (TEMPO-1) of CRB-701 in 2L oropharyngeal cancer and expect to initiate enrollment in September 2026 • Concluded last
How this was made
The 30-second read
Why it matters
Key trading catalysts are FDA clearance for TEMPO-1 and the stated expectation to commence enrollment in September 2026, plus an on-track September 2026 topline readout for CANYON-1.
Market read
For traders, the actionable element is the newly disclosed FDA clearance plus a specific September enrollment start, which can shift probability-weighted valuation for CRB-701.
What to watch
The quarter’s net loss widened and operating expenses rose due to a $10.0M CRB-701 milestone payment, which can increase financing overhang even with regulatory progress.
Background
This SEC 8-K reports Q2 2026 financial results and a corporate/program update for Corbus’s lead assets CRB-701 (oropharyngeal cancer) and CRB-913 (obesity).
Ticker impact
Corbus obtained FDA clearance to proceed with the TEMPO-1 registrational study of CRB-701 and expects to start enrollment in September 2026.
Bias to upside into September as the market prices higher probability of registrational progress, though dilution/cash burn risk remains.
The filing is a primary 8-K disclosure with specific regulatory clearance and a concrete enrollment timeline, which typically drives sentiment and valuation for clinical-stage biotechs.
Market effects
Reinforces investor appetite for oncology ADCs and non-GLP-1 obesity mechanisms tied to FDA-cleared registrational pathways.
Limited direct regional spillover; primarily US biotech sentiment.
Moderate, as CRB-701 is licensed from a China-based partner, but the catalyst is FDA clearance and US trial execution.
Counterpoint
The update highlights timelines but does not provide new efficacy endpoints; market may fade if September milestones slip or if cash burn/dilution concerns dominate.
