Lantern Pharma Inc. (NASDAQ:LTRN) ("Lantern" or the "Company"), an AI-driven clinical-stage precision oncology company, today announced it will host an investor, analyst and shareholder briefing on Thursday, April 9, 2026 at 8:30 AM Eastern featuring a live demonstration of withZeta.ai — the world's first and most comprehensive multi-agentic AI co-scientist for rare cancer drug discovery, development, and clinical trial design. The briefing will be conducted via live webcast and will cover the platform's capabilities and commercial architecture, the rare cancer market opportunity, competitive positioning, and the Company's near-term revenue strategy and growth roadmap. Registration is available at: Zoom link https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/1017749924357/WN_o7JaBBCxRDSfEzN6eUCwQA.

The withZeta.ai Briefing

The investor and analyst briefing will be hosted by Panna Sharma, President and Chief Executive Officer and Kishor Bhatia, Ph.D., FRCP, Chief Scientific Officer of Lantern Pharma, and will cover the following:

1. The rare cancer imperative — why millions of patients across hundreds of distinct cancer types remain systemically underserved and why AI co-scientists are part of the solution

2. Live demonstration of withZeta.ai — the world's first and most comprehensive multi-agentic AI co-scientist for rare cancer drug discovery, development, and clinical trial design

3. Platform capabilities and what makes withZeta.ai fundamentally different and an economic imperative in drug discovery and development.

4. Commercial subscription model, revenue strategy, and market opportunity

5. Competitive position in the AI drug discovery landscape

6. Strategic roadmap and upcoming milestones for withZeta.ai

"withZeta.ai is built on a foundation that took years of our team's work to ideate and assemble — 12 FDA designations across orphan, pediatric rare disease, and fast track classifications for Lantern, and several more earned by our collaborators. We have three drugs in precision oncology clinical trials with over 100 patients successfully dosed and studied. That heritage of clinical and regulatory recognition and rare cancer expertise is baked into every layer of the platform. Knowledge work in oncology is migrating to AI co-scientists and we intend to help lead that migration and empower scientists towards an era of hyper productivity and breakthroughs for patients. On April 9th we plan to show our investors and shareholders exactly what that looks like in practice — the multi-agentic architecture, the science, and the commercial model that makes withZeta.ai a durable and highly unique revenue engine for Lantern. The future of drug discovery will be co-developed with advances in AGI and multi-agentic systems."

—Panna Sharma, President and Chief Executive Officer, Lantern Pharma Inc.

The Co-Scientist AI Platform

withZeta.ai is redefining how rare cancer research, discovery, drug development, and clinical trial design gets done. Knowledge work in oncology is migrating to AI co-scientists — autonomous systems that investigate, reason, and synthesize across the full breadth of scientific evidence. withZeta.ai is that co-scientist: purpose-built for the biology, economics, and urgency of rare cancer drug development, and accessible to any researcher, anywhere.

withZeta.ai's multi-agentic architecture enables autonomous recursive research workflows that simultaneously query proprietary rare cancer knowledge bases, published scientific literature, registered clinical trials, and molecular databases — reasoning across all of them to deliver insights that would take human research teams weeks or months to assemble. The platform's living knowledge graph evolves dynamically with each research session, transforming scientific conversations into navigable semantic maps of diseases, drugs, genes, pathways, and clinical trials.

The Commercial Opportunity

The briefing of the multi-agentic AI platform will include a full presentation of withZeta.ai's commercial subscription model — spanning from individual researchers and academic institutions to innovative biopharma companies and global pharma partnerships — along with the Company's near-term revenue strategy and growth roadmap. Specific pricing and market projections will be presented live during the event.

"The global AI drug discovery and development market is projected to exceed $15 billion by 2030 — with oncology leading all therapeutic areas — and rare cancers represent the most underserved and highest-urgency opportunity within it. withZeta.ai is positioned to capture a meaningful share of that market through a scalable subscription architecture spanning individual researchers, academic institutions, innovative biopharma companies, and global pharma enterprises. The platform's combination of proprietary rare cancer ontologies, multi-agentic architecture, and a decade of clinical and regulatory expertise creates a defensible position that general-purpose AI platforms simply cannot replicate. April 9th is an opportunity for our investors to see a glimpse into this meaningful and already deployed commercial picture. Rare cancer patients should not have to wait decades for insights, opportunities, therapies, and thoughtful trials. Our platform — an AI for good — withZeta.ai has a real opportunity to lead the change in that dynamic."

—Panna Sharma, President and Chief Executive Officer, Lantern Pharma Inc.

Our proprietary AI and machine learning (ML) platform, RADR®, leverages over 200 billion oncology-focused data points and a library of 200+ advanced ML algorithms to help solve billion-dollar, real-world problems in oncology drug development and generate oncology medicines at dramatically reduced costs and accelerated timelines. By harnessing the power of AI and with input from world-class scientific advisors and collaborators, we have accelerated the development of our growing pipeline of drug candidates that span multiple cancer indications, including both solid tumors and blood cancers and an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) program. On average, our newly developed drug programs have been advanced from initial AI insights to first-in-human clinical trials in 2–3 years and at approximately $1.0–2.5 million per program.

Our lead development programs include a Phase 2 clinical program and multiple planned Phase 1b/2a clinical trials. We have also established a wholly-owned subsidiary, Starlight Therapeutics, to focus exclusively on the clinical execution of our promising therapies for CNS and brain cancers. Our AI-driven pipeline of innovative product candidates is estimated to have a combined annual market potential of over $15 billion USD.
