Exhibit 99.1
Jasper Therapeutics Reports First Quarter 2026
Financial Results and Provides Corporate Update
REDWOOD CITY, Calif., May 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE)
– Jasper Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: JSPR) (Jasper), a clinical stage biotechnology company focused on development of briquilimab,
a novel antibody therapy targeting c-Kit (CD117) to address mast cell driven diseases such as chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU), chronic
inducible urticaria (CIndU) and asthma, today reported results for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2026 and provided a corporate update.
“In recent months, we have continued to advance
the briquilimab development program in CSU.” said Jeet Mahal, President and Chief Executive Officer of Jasper. “Following our
positive clinical data update in January, we have conducted an analysis of the full data package from BEACON, SPOTLIGHT and the open-label
extension study to drive the selection of two active dosing regimens to evaluate in our Phase 2b study. In parallel we have also updated
and refiled the Phase 2b protocol with the FDA as we work to secure additional funding to enable commencement of the study in the second
half of this year as planned.”
Highlights for First Quarter 2025 and Recent Weeks
● Refiled an updated Phase 2b protocol with the
FDA for the planned Phase 2b study of briquilimab in CSU.
● Jeet
Mahal appointed as Chief Executive Officer to lead next phase of clinical growth.
● Reported positive updated data from briquilimab
studies in chronic spontaneous urticaria in January 2026:
o 67% of additional patients (n=6) enrolled in the BEACON study given an initial dose of 240mg briquilimab
followed by 180mg every 8 weeks achieved a complete response at 12 weeks with a mean UAS7 reduction of 31 points
o 75% of CSU participants (n=36) enrolled in the open label extension dosed with 180mg briquilimab every
8 weeks achieved a complete response or well controlled disease at 12 weeks
o With a median duration of follow up of more than 200 days on 63 participants in the open label extension
study, KIT related AEs were low in frequency and predominantly low-grade events that resolved while on study
First Quarter Fiscal 2026 Financial Results
● Cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2026,
totaled $14.1 million.
● Research and development expense for the three
months ended March 31, 2026, was $5.8 million.
● General and administrative expense for the three
months ended March 31, 2026, was $5.1 million.
● Jasper reported a net loss of $1.2 million, or
basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders of $0.04 for the three months ended March 31, 2026.
About Jasper
Jasper is a clinical-stage biotechnology company
focused on developing briquilimab as a therapeutic for chronic mast cell diseases. Briquilimab is a targeted aglycosylated monoclonal
antibody that blocks stem cell factor from binding to the KIT receptor, thereby inhibiting signaling through the receptor. This inhibition
disrupts the critical survival signal, leading to the depletion of the mast cells via apoptosis which removes the underlying source of
the inflammatory response in mast cell driven diseases such as chronic urticaria and asthma. Jasper is currently evaluating briquilimab
as a treatment in patients with CSU, CIndU and asthma. Briquilimab has a demonstrated efficacy and safety profile in patients and healthy
volunteers, with positive clinical outcomes in CSU, CIndU and allergic asthma. For more information, please visit us at www.jaspertx.com.
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements included in this press release that are not historical
facts are forward-looking statements for purposes of the safe harbor provisions under the United States Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are sometimes accompanied by words such as “believe,” “may,” “will,”
“estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect,” “should,”
“would,” “plan,” “predict,” “potential,” “seem,” “seek,” “future,”
“outlook” and similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical
matters. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding briquilimab’s potential, including
with respect to its potential in mast cell driven diseases such as CSU, CIndU and asthma; Jasper’s continued advancement of its
briquilimab development program in CSU; Jasper’s Phase 2b study in CSU, including the planned commencement thereof and the selection
of dosing regimes; and Jasper’s work to secure additional funding for its Phase 2b study in CSU. These statements are based on various
assumptions, whether or not identified in this press release, and on the current expectations of Jasper and are not predictions of actual
performance. These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not
be relied on by an investor as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Many actual
events and circumstances are beyond the control of Jasper. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties,
including general economic, political and business conditions; the risk that the potential product candidates that Jasper develops may
not progress through clinical development or receive required regulatory approvals within expected timelines or at all; the risk that
clinical trials may not confirm any safety, potency or other product characteristics described or assumed in this press release; the risk
that prior test, study and trial results may not be replicated in continuing or future studies and trials; Jasper’s ability to continue
as a going concern and its imminent need to raise additional funding to continue its operations; the risk that Jasper may be unable to
raise capital to continue its operations and its Phase 2b/3 study in CSU; the risk that Jasper will be unable to successfully market or
gain market acceptance of its product candidates; the risk that prior study results may not be replicated; the risk that Jasper’s
product candidates may not be beneficial to patients or successfully commercialized; patients’ willingness to try new therapies
and the willingness of physicians to prescribe these therapies; the effects of competition on Jasper’s business; the risk that third
parties on which Jasper depends for laboratory, clinical development, manufacturing and other critical services will fail to perform satisfactorily;
the risk that Jasper’s business, operations, clinical development plans and timelines, and supply chain could be adversely affected
by the effects of health epidemics; the risk that Jasper will be unable to obtain and maintain sufficient intellectual property protection
for its investigational products or will infringe the intellectual property protection of others; and other risks and uncertainties indicated
from time to time in Jasper’s filings with the SEC, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025
and subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. If any of these risks materialize or Jasper’s assumptions prove incorrect, actual
results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. While Jasper may elect to update these forward-looking
statements at some point in the future, Jasper specifically disclaims any obligation to do so. These forward-looking statements should
not be relied upon as representing Jasper’s assessments of any date subsequent to the date of this press release. Accordingly, undue
reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements.
