</I></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Edinburgh, United Kingdom, September&nbsp;15, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) &#150; NuCana plc (NASDAQ: NCNA) announced it has completed enrollment of the
number of patients in the ongoing Phase III NuTide:121 study required to conduct the first interim analysis. The study, which is comparing Acelarin combined with cisplatin to the global standard of care, gemcitabine plus cisplatin, as a first-line
treatment for patients with advanced biliary tract cancer, has enrolled 418 patients with measurable disease. The first interim analysis will be conducted after the 418<SUP STYLE="font-size:85%; vertical-align:top">th</SUP> patient has completed 28
weeks of <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">follow-up,</FONT> which is expected to occur in the first half of 2022. NuCana believes that a statistically significant improvement in the Objective Response Rate (ORR) at the first interim analysis,
accompanied by positive trends in other endpoints, has the potential to allow for accelerated approval of a new drug application (NDA) for Acelarin in the United States. Recruitment in the NuTide:121 study, which is intended to enroll up to 828
patients, is ongoing and NuCana believes subsequent analyses could provide the confirmatory data to support full (regular) approval. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">&#147;We are very
pleased to achieve this important enrollment milestone which brings us closer to our goal of developing more effective and safer medicines for patients with cancer,&#148; said Hugh S. Griffith, NuCana&#146;s Founder and Chief Executive Officer.
&#147;Biliary tract cancer is a devastating disease and there is a significant need for more effective medicines. We are especially grateful to all of the patients, their families, the investigators and other health care professionals involved in
the NuTIde:121 study.&#148; </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Mr.&nbsp;Griffith continued: &#147;The primary objective of the first interim analysis is to demonstrate at least a 14%
improvement in the ORR in the Acelarin plus cisplatin arm compared to the gemcitabine plus cisplatin arm. In the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">ABC-08</FONT> study of Acelarin plus cisplatin as a first-line treatment for patients with biliary
tract cancer, an ORR of 44% was achieved among the evaluable population. This compared favorably to the ORR of 26% achieved among evaluable patients treated with gemcitabine plus cisplatin in the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">ABC-02</FONT> study,
which established this regimen as the global standard of care. We look forward to announcing the outcome of this first interim analysis in the first half of 2022.&#148; </P>

received treatment for advanced disease. The primary endpoints of NuTide:121 are Overall Survival (OS) and Objective Response Rate (ORR) and the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">FDA-approved</FONT> protocol includes three interim analyses. Based on
the statistical analysis plan, and subject to any further regulatory guidance, the Company believes that a statistically significant improvement in ORR at either of the first two interim analyses, accompanied by positive trends in other endpoints,

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Biliary tract cancer, including cholangiocarcinoma, gallbladder and ampullary carcinoma, are a group of cancers originating in the biliary tract. The biliary
tract is comprised of the gallbladder and interconnecting ducts responsible for the transport of bile from the liver to the gallbladder and small intestine. Approximately 178,000 new cases of biliary tract cancer are diagnosed each year worldwide,
with more than 18,000 of those diagnoses in the United States. There are currently no agents approved for the first-line treatment of patients with advanced biliary tract cancer; however, the worldwide standard of care in these patients is the
combination of gemcitabine and cisplatin. Patients receiving this regimen have a median overall survival of 11.7 months. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>About NuCana </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">NuCana is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on significantly improving treatment outcomes for patients with cancer by applying our ProTide
technology to transform some of the most widely prescribed chemotherapy agents, nucleoside analogs, into more effective and safer medicines. While these conventional agents remain part of the standard of care for the treatment of many solid and
hematological tumors, their efficacy is limited by cancer cell resistance mechanisms and they are often poorly tolerated. Utilizing our proprietary technology, we are developing new medicines, ProTides, designed to overcome key cancer resistance
mechanisms and generate much higher concentrations of anti-cancer metabolites in cancer cells. NuCana&#146;s robust pipeline includes three ProTides in clinical development. Acelarin and NUC-3373, are new chemical entities derived from the
nucleoside analogs gemcitabine and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">5-fluorouracil,</FONT> respectively, two widely used chemotherapy agents. Acelarin is in a Phase 3 study for patients with advanced biliary tract cancer. NUC-3373 is in a Phase 1
study for the potential treatment of a wide range of patients with advanced solid tumors and a Phase 1b/2 study for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. Our third ProTide, NUC-7738, is a transformation of a novel nucleoside analog
(3&#146;-deoxyadenosine) and is in a Phase 1 study for patients with advanced solid tumors. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Forward-Looking Statements </I></B></P>
