Exhibit 99.1

Lisata Therapeutics Reports First Quarter 2024 Financial Results and Provides Business Update
Seminal Phase 2b ASCEND trial top-line data expected in fourth quarter of 2024
Projected available cash to fund planned operations into early 2026 covering all studies through data
Conference call scheduled for today at 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time

BASKING RIDGE, NJ (May 9, 2024) Lisata Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: LSTA) (“Lisata” or the “Company”), a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company developing innovative therapies for the treatment of advanced solid tumors and other serious diseases, provided a business update and reported financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
“2024, a pivotal year for Lisata, is off to a very strong start,” stated David J. Mazzo, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Lisata. “Although we project multiple data readouts over the next 18 months, topline results from the Phase 2b ASCEND trial later this year have transformative potential for the Company. These results will be instrumental in determining the future of Lisata, and we plan to use them to explore conditional approvals with various regulatory agencies and/or to design an optimized Phase 3 program in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. Since the start of the year, we have received both U.S. FDA Orphan Drug and Rare Pediatric Disease designations for certepetide, previously known as LSTA1, in osteosarcoma, further validating the broad therapeutic potential of this innovative therapy. We are energized by the progress we are making and excited about Lisata’s prospects.“
Dr. Mazzo added, “Our continued prudent financial management allows us to reaffirm our projection that currently available cash will fund operations into early 2026, providing a solid foundation to fund all ongoing and planned trials through to completion. More than ever, we remain confident in our ability to execute our development activities with the goal of reaching critical milestones at the earliest possible juncture.”
Development Portfolio Highlights
Certepetide as a treatment for solid tumors in combination with other anti-cancer agents
Certepetide is an investigational drug designed to activate the CendR uptake pathway that allows co-administered or molecularly bound anti-cancer drugs to target and penetrate solid tumors more effectively. Certepetide is designed to actuate this active transport system in a tumor-specific manner, resulting in systemically co-administered anti-cancer drugs more efficiently penetrating and accumulating in the tumor, to the exclusion of normal tissues. In preclinical models, certepetide has also shown the ability to modify the tumor microenvironment, leading to the expectation that tumors will become more susceptible to immunotherapies and inhibiting the metastatic cascade (i.e., the spread of cancer to other parts of the body). Lisata and its development partners have amassed significant non-clinical data demonstrating enhanced delivery of a range of existing and emerging anti-cancer therapies, including chemotherapeutics, immunotherapies, and RNA-based therapeutics. To date, certepetide has also demonstrated favorable safety, tolerability and activity in completed and ongoing clinical trials designed to test its ability to enhance delivery of standard-of-care (“SOC”) chemotherapy for metastatic pancreatic cancer (“mPDAC”). Certepetide has been granted orphan drug designation for pancreatic cancer in the U.S. and Europe as well as for glioblastoma multiforme (“GBM”) and osteosarcoma in the U.S. It also received a Fast Track designation from the FDA for pancreatic cancer and, just recently, a Rare Pediatric Disease designation from the FDA for osteosarcoma. Currently, certepetide is the subject of multiple ongoing or planned Phase 2a and 2b clinical studies being conducted globally in a variety of solid tumor types in combination with a variety of anti-cancer regimens:




ASCEND: Phase 2b double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial evaluating two dosing regimens of certepetide in combination with gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel SOC chemotherapy in patients with mPDAC. Cohort A of the study receives a single dose of 3.2 mg/kg certepetide essentially simultaneously with SOC, while Cohort B is identical to Cohort A, but with a second dose of 3.2mg/kg of certepetide given four hours after the first. The trial is being conducted at 25 sites in Australia and New Zealand led by the Australasian Gastro-Intestinal Trials Group in collaboration with the University of Sydney and with the National Health and Medical Research Council Clinical Trial Centre at the University of Sydney as the Coordinating Centre. The conclusion of a planned interim futility analysis in 2023 by the Independent Data Safety Monitoring Committee was that the conditions for futility were not met and that the study should proceed to completion. With trial enrollment completed in the fourth quarter of 2023, Lisata expects topline data from the 95 patients assigned to Cohort A of the study to be reported in the fourth quarter of 2024 and the complete data set of all 158 patients from the study to be available by mid-2025.
BOLSTER: Phase 2a double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center, randomized trial in the U.S. evaluating certepetide in combination with SOC in first-line cholangiocarcinoma. The trial is actively enrolling with enrollment completion expected by the end of the third quarter of 2024.
CENDIFOX: Phase 1b/2a open-label trial in the U.S. of certepetide in combination with neoadjuvant FOLFIRINOX based therapies in pancreatic, colon and appendiceal cancers. The trial continues to make steady progress with enrollment completion for all three arms expected by the end of 2024.
Qilu Pharmaceutical, the licensee of certepetide in the Greater China territory, is currently evaluating certepetide in combination with gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel as a treatment for mPDAC. During the 2023 ASCO Annual Meeting, Qilu Pharmaceutical presented an abstract sharing preliminary data from the study which corroborated previously reported findings from the Phase 1b/2a trial of certepetide plus gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel conducted in Australia in patients with mPDAC. As recently announced, Qilu has begun treating patients in their Phase 2 placebo-controlled trial in mPDAC. The study is planned to take approximately 18 months to complete enrollment and another 13 months for patient follow-up and data analysis and reporting.
iLSTA: Phase 1b/2a randomized, single-blind, single-center, safety and pharmacodynamic trial in Australia evaluating certepetide in combination with the checkpoint inhibitor, durvalumab, plus standard-of-care gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel chemotherapy versus standard-of-care alone in patients with locally advanced non-resectable PDAC. Enrollment completion is expected in the second half of 2024.
A Lisata-funded Phase 2a, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized, proof-of-concept study evaluating certepetide in combination with standard-of-care temozolomide versus temozolomide alone in patients with newly diagnosed GBM is being conducted across multiple sites in Estonia and Latvia and is targeted to enroll 30 patients with a randomization of 2:1 in favor of the certepetide treatment group.
First Quarter 2024 Financial Highlights
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, operating expenses totaled $6.6 million, compared to $6.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, representing a decrease of $0.2 million or 3.6%.
Research and development expenses were approximately $3.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $3.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, representing an essentially unchanged spend. The minor increase of $62,000 or 2.0% was primarily due to an increase in expenses associated with enrollment activities in the current year for the BOLSTER trial, partially offset by a reduction in expenses associated with the Phase 2b ASCEND trial which completed enrollment in the prior year.
General and administrative expenses were approximately $3.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $3.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, representing a decrease of $0.3 million or 8.3%. This was primarily due to a decrease in staffing costs associated with the elimination of the Chief Business Officer position on May 1, 2023, a reduction in option assumption equity expense in connection with the Company’s merger with Cend Therapeutics, Inc., a decrease in directors and officers insurance premiums, and a reduction in spend on consulting and legal fees partially offset by one-off settlement-related costs.



Overall, net losses were $5.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $6.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Balance Sheet Highlights
As of March 31, 2024, Lisata had cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities of approximately $43.3 million. Based on its current expected capital needs, the Company believes that its projected capital will fund its current proposed operations into early 2026, encompassing anticipated data milestones from all its ongoing and planned clinical trials.

Lisata at a Glance Company Overview 3


 
A clinical stage therapeutics development company rapidly advancing a novel solid tumor targeting and penetration technology to improve the efficacy of anti-cancer drugs Seasoned management with successful international drug development experience and expertise Proprietary field- leading technology in underserved global indications Multiple product and business milestones projected over the next 24 months Platform technology “validated” by existing partnerships with potential for many others Projected cash runway into 2026, funding all development programs through to data Company Overview 4 Lisata Therapeutics (Nasdaq: LSTA)


 
Therapeutic Focus and Rationale Problem, Solution and Approach 5


 
Improved solid tumor cancer treatment is a vital global need Therapeutic Focus and Rationale 6 2022 20 million new cases2 9.7 million deaths 2050 35 million new cases2 18.5 million deaths 77% In 2023, in the U.S. alone, of ~2 million newly diagnosed cancer cases, >90% were solid tumor cancers1 1 https://seer.cancer.gov/statfacts/html/common.html; data retrieved November 2, 2023. 2 https://gco.iarc.who.int/tomorrow/en/dataviz/tables?mode=population&years=2050&types=1&populations=903_904_905_908_909_935_900; data retrieved Feb 12, 2024. Examples of solid tumor cancers include cancers of the lung, breast, pancreas, liver, bile duct, kidneys, ovaries, brain, colon, prostate, esophagus, and head & neck projected


 
7 Therapeutic Focus and Rationale Current solid tumor treatments are suboptimal  Tumor stroma acts as a physical barrier to anti-cancer agents  An immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) contributes to tumor resistance and/or metastases  Prolonged or escalated dosing of non- targeted anti-cancer therapy generally leads to intolerable off-target side effects Diagram: Abizanda-Campo, S. et al, Microsyst Nanoeng 9, 154 (2023) A challenging tumor microenvironment complicates “targeting” and “penetration”


 
Harnessing the C-end Rule (CendR) transport mechanism for solid tumor penetration Therapeutic Focus and Rationale 8 Improving selective solid tumor penetration to maximize treatment effects  RGD peptides target tumor cells, but do not enhance penetration and delivery  Internalizing RGD (iRGD) peptides combine targeting and penetration enhancement  Certepetide (LSTA1) is an iRGD peptide that triggers the CendR active transport mechanism to selectively target and deliver anti-cancer drugs to solid tumors  Certepetide is in mid- to late-stage clinical development for solid tumor treatment


 
1 Sugahara, et al. Mol Cancer Ther; 14(1) January 2015; Hamilton, et al., J MolMed. April 2015; and Miyamura, et al., bioRxiv. May 2023. Therapeutic Focus and Rationale Certepetide promises optimized solid tumor treatment 9  Certepetide converts tumor stroma from a barrier to a conduit for anti-cancer drugs  Certepetide combats resistance and metastases1 • Preclinically, certepetide selectively depletes immunosuppressive T cells, enhances cytotoxic T cells, and inhibits the metastatic cascade  Certepetide is agnostic to the modality of the companion anti-cancer therapy • Effective with co-administered or molecularly bound (tethered) anti-cancer therapies • Co-administration presents an initial streamlined development path to registration • Tethering creates a new chemical entity providing prolonged compound exclusivity


 
Certepetide development strategy is composed of two main pillars Therapeutic Focus and Rationale 10  Pursue rapid global registration in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (mPDAC), initially combined with gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel standard-of-care (SoC) • Phase 2b 100% enrolled  By 2030, pancreatic cancer is predicted to become the second most common cause of cancer mortality1  Today, only 3% of people diagnosed with pancreatic cancer will survive for 5 years  Current life expectancy at the time of diagnosis is just 4.6 months Focus on Pancreatic & Other Advanced Solid Tumor Cancers 1 Europe Is Facing a Pancreatic Cancer Emergency - Medscape - January 25, 2024.  Demonstrate certepetide effectiveness when combined with a variety of SoC regimens (e.g., chemotherapy, immunotherapy, etc.) in a variety of solid tumor cancers • Multiple Phase 1b/2a studies underway


 
Partnerships Noteworthy existing relationships and potential for many more 11


 
Existing partnerships support certepetide’s promise and broad applicability Strategic commercial partnership in China with Qilu Pharmaceutical  Exclusive rights to certepetide in China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau  Qilu assumes all development and commercialization responsibilities/costs in licensed territories • Strategy and activities under the auspices of a Joint Steering Committee with Lisata executives  Collected $15 million in milestones to date  Potential for additional $221 million in milestones plus royalties on sales Development alliances contribute resources without commercial interest in certepetide  Australasian Gastro-Intestinal Trials Group - Clinical Trialists Consortium (Australia & New Zealand)  WARPNINE - Foundation (Australia) Additional partnership opportunities exist for many combinations with certepetide  By indication, modality of co-administered drug(s), and/or geography Partnerships 12


 
13 Certepetide (formerly LSTA1) Strong Scientific Foundation and Rationale


 
Tumor or Tumor Vascular Endothelial Cell αvβ3 β5 Certepetide (LSTA1) A) Integrin binding Certepetide is a 9 amino acid cyclic peptide with high binding affinity and specificity to αvβ3/β5 integrins that are upregulated on tumor cells and tumor endothelial cells (i.e., tumor stroma) B) Proteolytic cleavage NRP1 Once bound to αvβ3 & β5 integrins, certepetide is cleaved by proteases in the tumor microenvironment (TME) releasing a C-end Rule (CendR) linear peptide fragment αvβ3 β5 C) Neuropilin-1 binding CendR Fragment NRP1 αvβ3 β5 NRP1 The CendR fragment binds with high affinity and specificity to neuropilin-1 (NRP1), an adjacent receptor on the same or nearby cell, activating the CendR transport pathway1 and triggering tumor penetration CendR Fragment D) Transcytosis plus TME modification CendR Transport Mechanism Co-administered anti-cancer drugs  CendR pathway actuation triggers tumor penetration of circulating co-administered anti-cancer drugs  Certepetide-induced TME modification provokes reduction of immunosuppressive T cells, augmentation of cytotoxic T cells, and inhibition of metastases 14 Certepetide - Strong Scientific Foundation and Rationale Certepetide selective tumor targeting & penetration mechanism of action 1 Ding et al., Nature Comm, 2019. Cleavage


 
Certepetide selectively and efficiently facilitates intratumoral penetration 1 Braun et al., Nature Mater. 2014. 2 Liu, Braun et al., Nature Comm. 2017. 15 Certepetide - Strong Scientific Foundation and Rationale Whole body imaging of mice with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (arrow) dosed with Fluorescent Quantum Dots (FQDs) with and without certepetide  Circulating FQDs result in whole body fluorescence  Etching solution quenches fluorescence in circulation Certepetide provides targeted tumor penetration tumor tumor FQDs + Etching solution All FQDs in circulation Certepetide + FQDs + Etching solution All FQDs in tumor


 
Certepetide/iRGD activity & broad applicability consistently demonstrated Sampling of >350 scientific publications showing improved survival with certepetide/iRGD 16 Breast cancer + Herceptin®Lung cancer + gemcitabine Zhang, et al., Plos One, 2015 Breast cancer + nanoparticle Abraxane GI cancer + adoptive cell therapy Ding, et al., Nature, 2019 PDAC + irinotecan nanoparticles Orthotopically transplanted KPC PDAC tumors iRGD + irinotecan nanoparticles (i.v. co-admin) Liu X et al., J Clin Invest, 2017 PDAC + gemcitabine KPC mice genetically engineered to develop PDAC iRGD + gemcitabine (i.v. co-admin) Hurtado de Mendoza et al, Nature Comms, 2021 Sugahara, et al., Science, 2010Sugahara, et al., Science, 2010 Certepetide - Strong Scientific Foundation and Rationale
