  • Favorable CDI-988 Phase 1 safety and tolerability reported
  • Challenge study with CDI-988 as a norovirus preventive and treatment planned later this year

BOTHELL, Wash., Aug. 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Cocrystal Pharma, Inc. (Nasdaq: COCP) (“Cocrystal” or the “Company”) reports financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, and provides updates on its antiviral product pipeline, upcoming milestones and business activities.

“Preparations are underway for a Phase 1b norovirus challenge study to evaluate our potent, oral antiviral candidate CDI-988 as a prophylaxis and treatment,” said Sam Lee, Ph.D., Cocrystal’s President and co-CEO. “We are encouraged by the favorable safety and tolerability results from our Phase 1 study with CDI-988. This novel protease inhibitor has the potential to transform how we manage this highly contagious virus, which spreads rapidly in military facilities, cruise ships, nursing homes, hospitals and other confined environments. As a prophylactic treatment, CDI-988 could potentially prevent rapid spread of norovirus outbreaks in close quarters.

“We developed CDI-988 for the treatment of norovirus and coronavirus infections using our proprietary structure-based drug discovery platform technology. We are encouraged by our recent in vitro data demonstrating CDI-988 inhibits newly re-emerging norovirus GII.17 strains that are responsible for the 2024-2025 norovirus outbreaks,” added Dr. Lee.

“The absence of any approved norovirus treatments or vaccines creates a substantial market opportunity for Cocrystal,” said James Martin, Cocrystal’s CFO and co-CEO. “With 685 million global cases annually and a $60 billion worldwide economic impact, norovirus represents one of healthcare’s most pressing unmet needs.”

Antiviral Product Pipeline Overview

We harness our revolutionary, structure-based drug discovery platform technology to engineer next-generation, broad-spectrum antivirals that precisely disrupt viral replication mechanisms. Unlike traditional approaches, our technology identifies compounds that bind to highly conserved regions of viral enzymes, thereby creating a formidable defense against current viral threats as well as their mutations. By specifically targeting these evolutionary-constrained viral regions, our drug candidates maintain efficacy even as viruses mutate, while simultaneously minimizing off-target interactions that typically lead to adverse side effects. This dual advantage represents a significant breakthrough in antiviral drug development. In addition, our innovative methodology fundamentally transforms the conventional drug discovery paradigm by eliminating the inefficient, resource-intensive cycles of high-throughput compound screening and prolonged hit-to-lead optimization. The result is faster identification of promising candidates with superior resistance profiles and safety characteristics.

Influenza Programs
Influenza is a major global health threat that may become more challenging to treat due to the emergence of highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses and resistance to approved influenza antivirals. Currently approved antiviral treatments for influenza are effective but are burdened with significant viral resistance.

Each year there are approximately 1 billion cases of seasonal influenza worldwide, 3-5 million severe illnesses and up to 650,000 deaths. About 8 percent of the U.S. population gets sick from flu each season. In addition to the health risk, influenza is responsible for an estimated $10.4 billion in direct medical costs in the U.S. each year.

  • Oral CC-42344 for the treatment of pandemic and seasonal influenza A
    • Our novel PB2 inhibitor CC-42344 showed excellent in vitro activity against pandemic and seasonal influenza A strains, as well as strains that are resistant to Tamiflu® and Xofluza®.
    • In December 2022 we reported favorable safety and tolerability results from the CC-42344 Phase 1 study.
    • In December 2023 we began a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 2a human challenge study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, viral and clinical measurements of CC-42344 in influenza A-infected subjects in the United Kingdom, following authorization from the UK Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA).
    • In May 2024 we completed enrollment in the Phase 2a human challenge study.
    • In June 2024 we reported that in vitro studies demonstrated CC-42344 inhibits the activity of the highly pathogenic avian influenza A (H5N1) PB2 protein identified in humans exposed to infected dairy cows.
    • In December 2024 we announced a plan to extend the CC-42344 Phase 2a human challenge study due to unexpectedly low influenza infection among study participants.
    • In May 2025 we reported that CC-42344 was shown to be active against the highly pathogenic 2024 Texas H5N1 avian influenza strain.
  • Inhaled CC-42344 as prophylaxis and treatment for pandemic and seasonal influenza A
    • Our preclinical testing showed superior pulmonary pharmacology with CC-42344, including high exposure to drug and a long half-life.
    • Dry powder inhalation formulation development and toxicology studies have been completed.
  • Influenza A/B program
    • Our efforts to develop a preclinical lead of novel influenza replication inhibitors for pandemic and season influenza are ongoing.

Norovirus Program
Norovirus is a common and highly contagious virus that afflicts people of all ages and causes symptoms of acute gastroenteritis including nausea, vomiting, stomach pain and diarrhea, as well as fatigue, fever and dehydration. There is currently no effective treatment or effective vaccine for norovirus, and the ability to curtail outbreaks is limited.

In the U.S., noroviruses are responsible for an estimated 21 million infections annually, including 109,000 hospitalizations, 465,000 emergency department visits and an estimated 900 deaths. The annual burden of norovirus to the U.S. is estimated at $10.6 billion. Noroviruses are responsible for up to 1.1 million hospitalizations and 218,000 deaths annually in children in the developing world.

  • Oral pan-viral protease inhibitor CDI-988 for the treatment of noroviruses and coronaviruses
    • Our novel, broad-spectrum protease inhibitor CDI-988 is being evaluated as a potential treatment for noroviruses and coronaviruses.
    • CDI-988 has shown in vitro pan-viral activity against multiple norovirus strains.
    • In May 2023 we announced approval of our application to the Australian regulatory agency for a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 1 study to evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics (PK) of CDI-988 in healthy subjects.
    • In August 2023 we announced our selection of CDI-988 as our lead compound for the treatment for noroviruses, in addition to coronaviruses.
    • In July 2024 we reported favorable safety and tolerability results from the single-ascending dose cohorts in the Phase 1 study.
    • In December 2024 we reported favorable safety and tolerability results from the multiple-ascending dose cohorts of the Phase 1 study and the addition of a high-dose cohort.
    • In April 2025 we announced that CDI-988 showed superior broad-spectrum antiviral activity against GII.17 strains, the most prevalent strain in the U.S. and Europe in 2024-2025.
    • In August 2025 we presented favorable safety and tolerability Phase 1 data from all CDI-988 doses, including the high-dose 1200 mg cohort, at the 2025 Military Health System Research Symposium (MHSRS).
    • We plan to initiate a human challenge Phase 1b study in the U.S. in 2025 to evaluate CDI-988 as a norovirus prophylaxis and treatment.

SARS-CoV-2 and Other Coronavirus Program
By targeting viral replication enzymes and proteases, we believe it is possible to develop effective treatments for all diseases caused by coronaviruses including SARS-CoV-2 and its variants, Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS). CDI-988 showed potent in vitro pan-viral activity against common human coronaviruses, rhinoviruses and respiratory enteroviruses, as well as against noroviruses. The global COVID-19 therapeutics market is estimated to exceed $16 billion annually by the end of 2031.

  • Oral pan-viral protease inhibitor CDI-988 for the treatment of coronaviruses and noroviruses
    • CDI-988 exhibited superior in vitro potency against SARS-CoV-2 and demonstrated a favorable safety profile and PK properties.
    • In September 2023 we dosed the first healthy subject in our norovirus/coronavirus CDI-988 study, which is expected to serve as a Phase 1 study for both indications.
    • In July 2024 we reported favorable safety and tolerability results from the single-ascending dose cohorts in the Phase 1 study.
    • In December 2024 we reported favorable safety and tolerability results from the multiple-ascending dose cohorts of the Phase 1 study and the addition of a high-dose cohort.
    • In August 2025 we presented favorable safety and tolerability Phase 1 data from all CDI-988 doses, including the high-dose 1200 mg cohort, at the MHSRS.

Second Quarter Financial Results

Research and development (R&D) expenses for the second quarter of 2025 were $1.1 million, compared with $4.3 million for the second quarter of 2024, with the decrease primarily due to the timing of clinical study costs. General and administrative (G&A) expenses for the second quarter of 2025 were $1.0 million, compared with $1.1 million for the second quarter of 2024, with the decrease primarily due to a reduction in salaries and wages.

– Type A Meeting requested with U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for resolution of the Complete Response Letter (CRL) for oxylanthanum carbonate (OLC)

– OLC pivotal study data, published in the Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology (CJASN), demonstrated OLC was well tolerated and enabled serum phosphate control in over 90% of patients with a low pill burden

– Ended Q2 with $22.3 million of cash with expected runway into the second half of 2026

LOS ALTOS, Calif., Aug. 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Unicycive Therapeutics, Inc. (“Unicycive” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: UNCY), a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing therapies for patients with kidney disease, today announced its financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2025, and provided a business update.

“Our team has made great progress in the second quarter, and we have requested a Type A meeting with the FDA to resolve the CRL and obtain regulatory approval. We believe we have built multiple approaches to correct the deficiency noted for our third-party manufacturing vendor, which was unrelated to OLC,” said Shalabh Gupta, M.D., Chief Executive Officer of Unicycive. “Meanwhile, the recently published pivotal trial data in CJASN continue to highlight OLC’s best-in-class potential. Given the high rates of patient non-compliance with existing phosphate lowering therapies, we remain fully committed to meeting this clear need for improved treatment options for managing hyperphosphatemia in dialysis patients.”

Key Highlights & Upcoming Milestones

  • Unicycive has requested a Type A meeting with the FDA to discuss resolution of the CRL received in June in regard to its New Drug Application for OLC. Typically, Type A meetings are granted by the FDA within 30 days of the request. The Company plans to provide an investor update in the third quarter once it has received the FDA’s written feedback.
  • In July, the Company announced the publication of pivotal clinical study data describing the safety and tolerability of OLC in CKD patients on dialysis in CJASN. Data demonstrated that OLC was well tolerated, with over 90% of patients achieving effective phosphate control with most individuals needing no more than one tablet per meal.

Financial Results for the Quarter Ended June 30, 2025

Research and Development (R&D) expenses were $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $4.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in research and development expenses was primarily due to decreased drug development costs.

General and Administrative (G&A) expenses were $5.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $2.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was primarily due to increased consulting and professional services related to our commercial launch preparation.

Other income was $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to other income of $17.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to the change in fair value of our warrant liability.

Net loss attributable to common stockholders for the three months ended June 30, 2025, was $6.4 million, compared to net income attributable to common stockholders of $3.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increased net loss for the three-month period ended June 30, 2025 was primarily due to the change in fair value of our warrant liability.

As of June 30, 2025, cash and cash equivalents totaled $22.3 million. The Company believes that it has sufficient resources to fund operations into the second half of 2026.

Robert LeBoyer, Senior Vice President, Equity Research Analyst, Biotechnology, Noble Capital Markets, Inc.

Refer to the full report for the price target, fundamental analysis, and rating.

Revenues Were Driven By New Patients Under Contract. The Oncology Institute reported a loss for 2Q25 of $17.0 million or $(0.15) per share. Revenues of $119.8 million exceeded our estimate of $110.4 million. The company discussed newly active or pending contracts that will add covered lives during 2H25. It reiterated its guidance for Revenues, Gross Profit, Adjusted EBITDA, and Free Cash Flow. Cash on June 30, 2025 was $30.3 million.

Patient Services Were Close To Our Expectations. The Patient Services division reached $55.9 million. New payor contracts added patients during 1H25 that began generating revenues, although they have a period of higher cost during the transition to TOI management. We expect the patient mix to include more continuing patients during 2H25, improving margins while new contracts continue to drive growth.

Posted on by aweinsoff@channelchek.com

Research News and Market Data on TOI

Aug 13, 2025

PDF Version

CERRITOS, Calif., Aug. 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The Oncology Institute, Inc. (NASDAQ: TOI) (“TOI” or the “Company”), one of the largest value-based community oncology groups in the United States, today reported financial results for its three months ended June 30, 2025.

Daniel Virnich, CEO of TOI, commented, “We delivered another strong quarter with over 20% year-over-year revenue growth. This was driven by exceptional performance in our pharmacy business, which grew over 40% year-over-year, as well as the addition of over 50,000 new capitated lives to our value-based business. We are also in the process of expanding our partnership into new geographic regions of Florida with a major health plan which, once finalized, will double the amount of lives we cover for this payor. The momentum we’re seeing in new contract signings, combined with continued strength in pharmacy, gives us increasing confidence that we’ll achieve revenue at the high end of our guidance range for the year and achieve Adjusted EBITDA positivity as we exit 2025.”

Recent Operational Highlights

  • Fee-for-service revenue growth of 10% over Q2 2024, driven by momentum in new markets.
  • Retail Pharmacy and Dispensary set fill records, contributing $62.6 million revenue and over $11 million in gross profit in Q2.
  • Planned expansion of existing fully delegated capitated partnership with Elevance into two new counties in Central Florida, which, if finalized, will more double the number of lives under our current relationship. Expanded capitation relationship as of July 1 with Silver Summit Health Plan in Nevada to serve all of their Medicaid patients in Clark County.
  • Welcomed Dr. Jeff Langsam as our new Chief Clinical Officer, leading our efforts around therapeutics, Utilization Management and MSO practice engagement and Kristin England as our new Chief Administrative Officer overseeing our Enterprise Central Business Operations and Technology Strategy and AI Enablement.

Second Quarter 2025 Financial Highlights

All comparisons are to the quarter ended June 30, 2024 unless otherwise noted

  • Consolidated revenue of $119.8 million increased of 21.5% from $98.6 million
  • Gross profit of $17.5 million, increased 34.4%
  • Net loss of $17.0 million compared to net loss of $15.5 million
  • Basic and diluted (loss) earnings per share of $(0.15) compared to $(0.17)
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $(4.1) million compared to $(8.7) million
  • Cash and cash equivalents of $30.3 million as of June 30, 2025

Outlook for Fiscal Year 2025

TOI uses Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash flow, each a non-GAAP metric, as an additional tool to assess its operational and financial performance. See “Financial Information: Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below. In reliance on the unreasonable efforts exception provided under Regulation S-K, TOI is not reasonably able to provide a quantitative reconciliation for forward-looking information of Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow to net (loss) income and net cash provided by operations, respectively, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, without unreasonable efforts due to uncertainties regarding taxes, capital expenditures, operating activities, share-based compensation, goodwill impairment charges, change in fair value of liabilities, unrealized (gains) losses on investments, practice acquisition-related costs, consulting and legal fees, transaction costs and other non-cash items. The variability of these items could have an unpredictable, and potentially significant, impact on TOI’s future GAAP financial results. Nevertheless TOI reaffirms its full year 2025 guidance:

2025 Guidance
Revenue$460 to $480 million
Gross Profit$73 to $82 million
Adjusted EBITDA$(8) to $(17) million
Free Cash Flow$(12) to $(21) million


The Company, given the revenue growth in the first half of the year, currently believes it can reach the higher-end of the revenue guidance range for 2025. Additionally, the Company expects Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $(2.5) to $(3.5) million in the third quarter of 2025. TOI’s achievement of the anticipated results is subject to risks and uncertainties, including those disclosed in its filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The outlook does not take into account the impact of any unanticipated developments in the business or changes in the operating environment, nor does it take into account the impact of TOI’s acquisitions, dispositions or financings. TOI’s outlook assumes a largely open global market, which would likely be negatively impacted if recent tariff rate increases and exchange rate changes persist and adversely affect world trade.

TOI anticipates that subsequent events and developments will cause TOI’s assessments to change. TOI does not undertake any obligation to update any of these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing TOI’s assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this press release. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements.

Financial Information; Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Some of the financial information and data contained in this press release, such as Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow, have not been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). TOI’s non-GAAP financial measures may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. The presentation of non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. Because of the limitations of non-GAAP financial measures, you should consider the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this press release in conjunction with TOI’s financial statements and the related notes thereto.

TOI believes that the use of Free Cash Flow provides an additional tool to assess the Company’s financial performance, evaluate its ability to generate cash from operations, and plan for future investments and obligations. Free Cash Flow is useful in understanding the cash available for strategic initiatives. It also helps in comparing TOI’s financial performance with other similar companies, many of which use similar non-GAAP financial measures to provide insights into their cash generation capabilities. However, the principal limitation of Free Cash Flow is that it does not account for certain cash outflows or inflows that are required by GAAP to be recorded in TOI’s financial statements. TOI defines Free Cash Flow as net cash flow provided by (used in) operations plus cash paid for interest, less capital expenditures.

TOI believes that the use of Adjusted EBITDA provides an additional tool to assess our operations and results of our performance, to plan and forecast future periods, and factors and trends in, and in comparing our financial measures with, other similar companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. The principal limitation of Adjusted EBITDA is that it excludes significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in TOI’s financial statements.

TOI defines Adjusted EBITDA as net (loss) income plus depreciation, amortization, interest, taxes, non-cash items, share-based compensation, goodwill impairment charges, change in fair value of liabilities, unrealized gains or losses on investments and other adjustments to add-back the following: consulting and legal fees related to acquisitions, one-time consulting and legal fees related to certain advisory projects, software implementations and debt or equity financings, severance expense and temporary labor and recruiting charges to build out our corporate infrastructure.

Cancer-fighting immunosuppressive agents shown to disrupt telomeres and suspend growth of cancer cells 

CHICAGO , Aug. 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — MAIA Biotechnology, Inc. (NYSE American: MAIA) (“MAIA”, the “Company”), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing targeted immunotherapies for cancer, today announced that the European Patent Office has decided to grant a patent broadly covering a portfolio of ateganosine-based analogues for telomere-targeting anticancer therapy and methods of using ateganosine (THIO) alone or before administration of checkpoint inhibitors (CPIs). The patent, titled “Mercaptopurine Ribonucleoside Analogues for Altering Telomerase Mediated Telomere,” was invented by MAIA’s Chief Scientific Officer Sergei M. Gryaznov, PhD and Scientific Advisory Board member Jerry W. Shay, PhD.

“Mercaptopurine nucleoside analogues are cancer-fighting immunosuppressive agents that disrupt the structure and function of telomeres and reduce immune system activity, interfering with the growth of cancer cells and causing programmed cancer cell death. As an important extension of MAIA’s innovative cancer treatment platform, these new compounds are key next-generation telomere-targeting agents with potentially improved specificity towards cancer cells relative to normal cells and with potentially increased anticancer activity,” said Dr. Gryaznov.

“The new IP is expected to further secure and expand the value of our first-in-class telomere-targeting compounds across the European scientific community,” added MAIA Chairman and CEO Vlad Vitoc, M.D.

MAIA’s global patent and patent-pending estate covers several areas including telomerase mediated telomere altering compounds and treatment of therapy-resistant cancers. Further, ateganosine’s immunogenic treatment strategy, which focuses on sequential combination with checkpoint inhibitors, has been filed worldwide. MAIA’s IP portfolio for ateganosine currently comprises 10 issued patents worldwide including Europe (validated in 19 countries) along with 24 pending patent applications.

About Ateganosine

Ateganosine (THIO, 6-thio-dG or 6-thio-2’-deoxyguanosine) is a first-in-class investigational telomere-targeting agent currently in clinical development to evaluate its activity in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Telomeres, along with the enzyme telomerase, play a fundamental role in the survival of cancer cells and their resistance to current therapies. The modified nucleotide 6-thio-2’-deoxyguanosine induces telomerase-dependent telomeric DNA modification, DNA damage responses, and selective cancer cell death. Ateganosine-damaged telomeric fragments accumulate in cytosolic micronuclei and activates both innate (cGAS/STING) and adaptive (T-cell) immune responses. The sequential treatment of ateganosine followed by PD-(L)1 inhibitors resulted in profound and persistent tumor regression in advanced, in vivo cancer models by induction of cancer type–specific immune memory. Ateganosine is presently developed as a second or later line of treatment for NSCLC for patients that have progressed beyond the standard-of-care regimen of existing checkpoint inhibitors.

About MAIA Biotechnology, Inc.

MAIA is a targeted therapy, immuno-oncology company focused on the development and commercialization of potential first-in-class drugs with novel mechanisms of action that are intended to meaningfully improve and extend the lives of people with cancer. Our lead program is ateganosine (THIO), a potential first-in-class cancer telomere targeting agent in clinical development for the treatment of NSCLC patients with telomerase-positive cancer cells.

Release – Ocugen, Inc. Announces Positive Scientific Advice from the European Medicines Agency Related to the Approval Pathway for OCU410ST—Modifier Gene Therapy for Stargardt Disease

Posted on by aweinsoff@channelchek.com

Research News and Market Data on OCGN

August 13, 2025

PDF Version

MALVERN, Pa., Aug. 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Ocugen, Inc. (Ocugen or the Company) (NASDAQ: OCGN), a pioneering biotechnology leader in gene therapies for blindness diseases, today announced that the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) reviewed the study design, endpoints and planned statistical analysis of the ongoing pivotal confirmatory OCU410ST Phase 2/3 GARDian3 clinical trial for Stargardt disease and provided acceptability of a single U.S.-based trial for submission of a Marketing Authorization Application (MAA).

EMA provided this opinion based on safety and tolerability that OCU410ST demonstrated in the Phase 1 GARDian trial, including 48% slower lesion growth and statistically significant (p=0.031) and clinically meaningful improvement of nearly 2-line/9-letter gain in best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) at 12-month follow-up in evaluable treated eyes compared to untreated eyes. The Phase 2/3 study will enroll 51 participants diagnosed with Stargardt disease. Of these, 34 will receive a one-time subretinal injection of OCU410ST (200 μL at a concentration of 1.5 × 10¹¹ vector genomes/mL) in the eye with poorer visual acuity, while 17 will be assigned to an untreated control group. The unique adaptive design of this trial includes a masked interim analysis of 24 subjects in the study (16 in treatment group and 8 in control group) at 8 months. The primary objective of the trial is to evaluate the reduction in atrophic lesion size. Key secondary endpoints include improvements in BCVA and low luminance visual acuity (LLVA), compared to controls. Data from the one-year follow-up will be used to support the Company’s planned Biologics License Application (BLA) and MAA in the EU.

“This positive opinion endorses a single trial as the basis for both BLA and MAA submissions and brings us closer to providing a one-time, modifier gene therapy to approximately 100,000 Stargardt patients in the U.S. and Europe combined,” said Dr. Shankar Musunuri, Chairman, CEO, and Co-founder of Ocugen. “We are very encouraged about the prospect of addressing the unmet medical need that exists for these patients who currently have no approved treatment options available to them.”

The EMA opinion is an extremely favorable outcome, as it will potentially reduce the time and cost to gain marketing authorization in the EU. Alignment with the EMA follows recent important milestones for the OCU410ST program, including Rare Pediatric Disease Designation (RPDD) in May, IND clearance in June, and first patient dosing in July. With enrollment scheduled to be complete in the first quarter of 2026 the Company remains on track for a BLA filing in the first half of 2027, aligned with its goal of three BLAs in the next three years.

About OCU410ST
OCU410ST utilizes an AAV delivery platform for the retinal delivery of the RORA (RAR-Related Orphan Receptor A) gene. It represents Ocugen’s modifier gene therapy approach, which is based on Nuclear Hormone Receptor (NHR) RORA that regulates pathophysiological pathways linked to Stargardt disease, such as lipofuscin formation, oxidative stress, complement formation, inflammation, and cell survival networks.

About Stargardt Disease
Stargardt disease is a genetic eye disorder that causes retinal degeneration and vision loss. Stargardt disease is the most common form of inherited macular degeneration. The progressive vision loss associated with Stargardt disease is caused by the degeneration of photoreceptor cells in the central portion of the retina called the macula.

Decreased central vision due to loss of photoreceptors in the macula is the hallmark of Stargardt disease. Some peripheral vision is usually preserved. Stargardt disease typically develops during childhood or adolescence, but the age of onset and rate of progression can vary. The retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), a layer of cells supporting photoreceptors, is also affected in people with Stargardt disease.

About Ocugen, Inc.
Ocugen, Inc. is a biotechnology company focused on discovering, developing, and commercializing novel gene therapies to address major blindness diseases and offer hope for patients across the globe. We are making an impact on patient’s lives through courageous innovation—forging new scientific paths that harness our unique intellectual and human capital. Our breakthrough modifier gene therapy platform has the potential to address significant unmet medical need for large patient populations through our gene-agnostic approach.

FDA PDUFA goal date of August 15, 2025, for TNX‑102 SL for fibromyalgia: if approved by FDA, TNX‑102 SL would be the first new drug for fibromyalgia in more than 16 years 

In June 2025, the Company was added to the Russell 3000® and Russell 2000® Indexes following the annual reconstitution

Phase 3 RESILIENT results published in peer-reviewed journal, Pain Medicine, including statistically significant reduction in fibromyalgia pain with once‑nightly TNX‑102 SL; generally well tolerated

Cash and cash equivalents of $125.3 million reported as of June 30, 2025; current cash runway expected to fund operations into the third quarter of 2026

CHATHAM, N.J., Aug. 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holding Corp. (Nasdaq: TNXP) (“Tonix” or the “Company”), a fully-integrated biotechnology company with marketed products and a pipeline of development candidates, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025, and provided an overview of recent operational highlights.

“With the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) goal date of August 15, for TNX-102 SL (cyclobenzaprine HCl sublingual tablets) for fibromyalgia, we are excited about the potential to make this important new therapy available to patients in the fourth quarter of this year,” said Seth Lederman, M.D., Chief Executive Officer of Tonix Pharmaceuticals. “FDA considers fibromyalgia a serious condition and awarded TNX-102 SL Fast Track designation last year. There has been no new treatment for this debilitating condition approved in over 16 years. Additionally, our RESILIENT Phase 3 study results were recently published in the peer-reviewed journal, Pain Medicine.”

Dr. Lederman continued, “Our pipeline momentum remains strong. In the second quarter, we dosed the first patient in the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD)-funded, investigator-initiated, OASIS trial of TNX-102 SL for acute stress reaction. We also presented new data for our live-virus vaccine, TNX-801, which demonstrated durable single-dose protection against mpox and rabbitpox in animal models. We previously reported positive Phase 1 safety and pharmacokinetic data for TNX-1500, advancing this next-generation anti-CD40L antibody toward a Phase 2 kidney-transplant study. We are well-positioned to translate these milestones into meaningful value for patients and shareholders alike.”

Key Investigational Product Candidates
 

Central Nervous System (CNS) Pipeline
TNX-102 SL (cyclobenzaprine HCl sublingual tablets 2.8 mg): two tablets (5.6 mg), once-daily at bedtime for fibromyalgia (FM) – a centrally-acting, non-opioid
analgesic.

  • In June 2025, Tonix presented a poster at the European Congress of Rheumatology (EULAR 2025) demonstrating that TNX‑102 SL produced statistically significant, durable (14‑week) pain reduction across two Phase 3 trials.
  • In July 2025, Tonix announced online publication of full results from the confirmatory Phase 3 RESILIENT trial of TNX‑102 SL in the peer-reviewed journal Pain Medicine, showing once‑nightly 5.6 mg achieved a statistically significant reduction in fibromyalgia pain versus placebo and was well tolerated; the data confirm the earlier RELIEF study and support the ongoing New Drug Application (NDA) review with an August 15, 2025 PDUFA goal date.

TNX-102 SL in development for the treatment of acute stress reaction (ASR) and acute stress disorder (ASD), and prophylaxis against development of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD)

  • In May 2025, the first patient was dosed in the Phase 2 investigator initiated OASIS trial evaluating a two week course of TNX102 SL 5.6 mg to reduce the severity of acute stress reaction (ASR) and the frequency of acute stress disorder (ASD); the study is sponsored by the University of North Carolina and supported by a $3 million U.S. Department of Defense grant, with topline results expected in the second half of 2026.
Immunology Pipeline
 

TNX-1500 (anti-CD40L Fc-modified humanized monoclonal antibody): third generation anti-CD40L monoclonal antibody under investigation for prophylaxis for organ transplant rejection and treatment of autoimmune disorders

  • In May 2025, Tonix reported positive topline data from a Phase 1 single‑ascending‑dose study in healthy volunteers: TNX‑1500 met all safety, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic goals, blocked primary and secondary antibody responses at 10 mg/kg and 30 mg/kg doses with intravenous (i.v.) administration, and showed a 34–38‑day mean half‑life that supports monthly i.v. dosing—supporting the path for a planned Phase 2 study to evaluate TNX-1500 for prevention of rejection in kidney allogeneic transplant.

TNX-801 (recombinant horsepox virus, minimally replicative live-virus vaccine): potential vaccine to protect against mpox and smallpox.

  • In April 2025, Tonix presented new preclinical data on TNX-801 at the World Vaccine Congress Washington 2025 showing a single subcutaneous (s.c.) dose protected animals from mpox and rabbitpox for at least six months, remained well tolerated even in immunocompromised models, and met key attributes in the WHO’s preferred target product profile for mpox vaccines.

Financials
 

As of June 30, 2025, Tonix had $125.3 million in cash and cash equivalents, compared with $98.8 million as of December 31, 2024. Net cash used in operations was approximately $31.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $27.5 million for the same period in 2024.

The Company believes that, based on its current operating plan, its cash on hand at June 30, 2025, together with $51.5 million in net proceeds received from equity offerings during the third quarter 2025, will fund planned operating and capital expenditures into the third quarter of 2026.

Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results

Net product revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was approximately $2.0 million, compared to $2.2 million for the same period in 2024; revenue again reflected combined net sales of Zembrace® SymTouch® and Tosymra®. Cost of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was approximately $3.3 million, compared to $3.4 million for the same period in 2024.

Research and development expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2025 were $10.8 million, compared to $9.7 million for the same period in 2024. The increase was predominately due to increased clinical expenses, nonclinical expenses and manufacturing expenses, reflecting spend on pipeline priorities.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2025 were $16.2 million, compared to $7.5 million in 2024. The increase is predominately due to spend on sales and marketing to progress pre-launch activities related to the potential FDA approval of TNX-102 SL for fibromyalgia.

Net loss available to common stockholders was $28.3 million, or $3.86 per share (basic and diluted), for the second quarter 2025, compared to a net loss of $78.8 million, or $1,920.85 per share, for the same period in 2024. The basic and diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding for the second quarter 2025 were 7,327,257 compared to 41,011 for the same period in 2024.

SAN DIEGO, Aug. 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Gyre Therapeutics (“Gyre”) (Nasdaq: GYRE), an innovative, commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to advancing fibrosis-first therapies across organ systems affected by chronic disease, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025 and provided a business and leadership update.

Dr. Han Ying has stepped down as Chief Executive Officer and will transition into the role of Senior Vice President, Science and will oversee research and discovery activities to support Gyre’s fibrosis focused pipeline. Ping Zhang, Executive Chairman, has been appointed Interim Chief Executive Officer, and will lead the company’s day-to-day operations and strategic global expansion.

“I want to thank Dr. Ying for his contributions and dedication during his tenure as CEO. His deep background in research and discovery will be invaluable to advance our science and continued innovation,” said Mr. Zhang. “As interim CEO, I am excited to work closely with our leadership team to strengthen Gyre’s global footprint and accelerate our progress toward delivering transformative therapies to patients.”

“Looking ahead, we are thrilled with the rapid progress we have made towards expanding our commercial footprint and advancing our pipeline of fibrosis-first therapies. Our lead compound, Hydronidone, demonstrated statistically significant fibrosis regression in patients with CHB-associated liver fibrosis in a pivotal Phase 3 trial in the PRC, a critical step that not only underscores the potential of Hydronidone, but also lays the foundation to expand into additional fibrotic indications,” continued Mr. Zhang. “In the second half of 2025 we are well-positioned to grow our footprint in the United States with our planned Phase 2 trial evaluating Hydronidone in MASH-associated liver fibrosis, while continuing to advance our robust pipeline in the PRC, highlighted by a new Phase 2/3 trial of pirfenidone in oncology-related pulmonary complications expected to initiate later this year. In addition, Gyre Pharmaceuticals remains on track to file an NDA for Hydronidone with the NMPA in the third quarter of 2025 to potentially support our growing commercial portfolio.”

Second Quarter Business Highlights and Upcoming Milestones

Commercial Portfolio Expansion

ETUARY® (pirfenidone): Generated $23.5 million in sales of ETUARY® for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, compared to $25.1 million for the same period in 2024.

Etorel (nintedanib ethanesulfonate soft capsules): In June 2025, Gyre launched Etorel in the PRC for the treatment of systemic sclerosis-associated ILD, and progressive fibrosing ILD, and generated sales of $1.6 million in the first partial quarter of launch.

Contiva (avatrombopag maleate tablets): In March 2025, Gyre initiated commercialization of Contiva in the PRC for thrombocytopenia in adults with chronic liver disease and immune thrombocytopenic purpura, and generated sales for $1.5 million in the second quarter of 2025.

Pipeline Development Updates

Hydronidone:

  • In May 2025, Gyre reported positive results from its pivotal Phase 3 trial of Hydronidone for chronic hepatitis B (“CHB”)-associated liver fibrosis in the PRC, which demonstrated statistically significant regression in liver fibrosis after 52 weeks compared to placebo. In addition, Hydronidone met a key secondary endpoint with statistically significant inflammation improvement without fibrosis progression at Week 52 versus the placebo arm. Hydronidone was well tolerated with a comparable incidence of serious adverse events (4.88% vs. 6.45% in the placebo group) and no discontinuations due to adverse events in either group. Gyre plans to submit primary results for publication in a peer-reviewed journal and present full trial results at a future medical conference. Based on these results, Gyre intends to file a New Drug Application (“NDA”) with the PRC’s National Medical Products Administration (“NMPA”) in the third quarter of 2025.
  • Gyre previously submitted an investigational new drug application (“IND”) for the treatment of liver fibrosis associated with a broad spectrum of chronic liver diseases with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and conducted a Phase 1 trial of Hydronidone in healthy volunteers for the treatment of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (“MASH”)-associated liver fibrosis. The Company is currently conducting an internal review to determine whether a new IND will be required for a Phase 2 trial in MASH-associated liver fibrosis. The Phase 2 trial is expected to start in the second half of 2025, subject to regulatory feedback.

ETUARY® (Pirfenidone):

  • Gyre plans to initiate an adaptive Phase 2/3 trial of pirfenidone for radiation-induced lung injury (“RILI”), including cases complicated by immune-related pneumonitis across top oncology centers in the PRC in the second half of 2025.

F573:

  • F573 is a caspase inhibitor and potential Category 1 new drug for the treatment of acute/acute on-chronic liver failure (“ALF/ACLF”). Completion of the Phase 2 clinical trial of F573 for ALF/ACLF is expected by the end of 2026.

F230:

  • In June 2025, the first volunteer was successfully dosed in a Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating F230, a novel endothelin A receptor agonist, for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (“PAH”) in the PRC.

F528:

  • F528, a novel anti-inflammation agent with the potential to modify the progression of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (“COPD”), is undergoing preclinical studies as a potential first-line therapy for the treatment of COPD. Gyre plans to submit an IND application in 2026.

Corporate Updates

  • In August 2025, Ping Zhang was appointed interim CEO as Dr. Han Ying transitions to a scientific leadership role. Mr. Zhang, who was appointed Executive Chairman in March 2025, has served on Gyre’s Board of Directors since January 2025.
  • In May 2025, Gyre completed an underwritten public offering of 2,555,555 shares of its common stock at a public offering price of $9.00 per share. The gross proceeds of the offering, before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses, were approximately $23.0 million.
  • In the third quarter of 2025, BJContinent Pharmaceuticals Limited increased its capital contribution in Gyre Pharmaceuticals (also known as Beijing Continent Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd.) by $1.28 million in exchange for 9,184,910 additional shares. As a result, the Company’s indirect interest in Gyre Pharmaceuticals increased from 65.2% to 69.7%.

Financial Results

Cash Position

As of June 30, 2025, Gyre held $36.5 million in cash and cash equivalents, $17.9 million in short-term bank deposits, and $21.5 million in long-term certificates of deposit, totaling $75.9 million. The increase of cash and cash equivalents mainly includes net proceeds of approximately $21.3 million received from the May 2025 underwritten public offering.

Financial Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2025

  • Revenues: Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2025 were $26.8 million, compared to $25.2 million for the same period in 2024. The $1.6 million increase was primarily driven by a $1.6 million increase in revenue as a result of Etorel’s commercial launch in June 2025 and a $1.5 million increase in revenue from the sales of Contiva. These increases were offset by a $1.5 million decline in ETUARY® sales.

    Gyre anticipates revenue growth over the remainder of the year, driven by the commercial launch of Etorel in June 2025 and the continued expansion of Contiva.
  • Cost of Revenues: For the three months ended June 30, 2025, cost of revenues was $1.2 million, compared to $0.8 million for the same period in 2024. The $0.4 million increase was primarily driven by a $0.2 million increase in the costs associated with Contiva and Etorel, in line with the corresponding increase in their sales, and a $0.2 million increase in ETUARY®’s cost due to the higher plant, property and equipment depreciation from a plant renovation.
  • Selling and Marketing Expense: For the three months ended June 30, 2025, selling and marketing expense was $15.2 million, compared to $14.4 million for the same period in 2024. The $0.8 million increase was primarily attributable to a $0.9 million increase in payroll costs, driven by higher headcount and increase of sales in the three months ended June 30, 2025, partially offset by $0.1 million decrease in promotion and conference expenses.
  • Research and Development Expense: For the three months ended June 30, 2025, research and development expense was $3.4 million, compared to $3.3 million for the same period in 2024. The $0.1 million increase was primarily attributable to a $0.1 million increase in clinical trial costs, primarily related to data analysis costs for Hydronidone, and a $0.1 million increase in staff costs. These increases were partially offset by a $0.1 million decrease in materials and utilities expenses.
  • General and Administrative Expense: For the three months ended June 30, 2025, general and administrative expense was $4.8 million, compared to $3.4 million for the same period in 2024. The $1.4 million increase was primarily driven a $0.5 million increase in professional fees, and a $0.9 million increase in functional and administrative department’s personnel and stock compensation costs.
  • Income from Operations: For the three months ended June 30, 2025, income from operations was $2.2 million, compared to $3.2 million income from operation for the same period in 2024. The $1.0 million decrease was primarily driven by $2.6 million increase in total operating expenses, partially offset by a $1.6 million increase in revenue.
  • Net Income: For the three months ended June 30, 2025, net income was $1.6 million, compared to $4.5 million net income for the same period in 2024.
  • Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income: For the three months ended June 30, 2025, non-GAAP adjusted net income was $2.9 million, compared to $3.1 million non-GAAP adjusted net income for the same period in 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by the increase in operating expenses of $1.7 million, partially offset by an increase in revenue of $1.6 million.

Financial Results for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2025

  • Revenues: Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2025 were $48.8 million, compared to $52.4 million for the same period in 2024. The $3.6 million decrease was primarily driven by a $6.8 million decline in ETUARY® sales, partially offset by the increase in new product sales of Contiva by $1.8 million and Etorel by $1.6 million. The decrease in ETUARY® sales was mainly due to lower sales volume compared to the first half of 2024, when revenues were elevated by a one-time rural marketing campaign that was not repeated in 2025. Additionally, weaker economic conditions in China and increased competition in the IPF treatment market also contributed to the decline. During the first half of 2025, marketing funds were intentionally shifted to support the launches of Etorel and Contiva.

    Gyre anticipates revenue growth over the remainder of the year, driven by the continued expansion of Contiva in March 2025 and the commercial launch of Etorel in June 2025.
  • Cost of Revenues: For the six months ended June 30, 2025, cost of revenues was $2.0 million, compared to $1.7 million for the same period in 2024. The $0.3 million increase was primarily driven by a $0.1 million increase in stock-based compensation and a $0.2 million increase in the costs of Etorel and Contiva, in line with the corresponding increase in their sales.
  • Selling and Marketing Expense: For the six months ended June 30, 2025, selling and marketing expense was $26.0 million, compared to $26.9 million for the same period in 2024. The $0.9 million decrease was primarily driven by a reduction in commission costs due to the decrease of sales.
  • Research and Development Expense: For the six months ended June 30, 2025, research and development expense was $6.5 million, compared to $5.5 million for the same period in 2024. The $1.0 million increase was primarily attributable to a $1.5 million increase in clinical trial costs, primarily as a result of data analysis costs for Hydronidone. This increase was offset by a $0.3 million decrease in materials and utilities expenses and a $0.1 million decrease in facilities, depreciation and other.
  • General and Administrative Expense: For the six months ended June 30, 2025, general and administrative expense was $9.8 million, compared to $6.8 million for the same period in 2024. The $3.0 million increase was primarily driven a $0.6 million increase in professional fees, a $1.6 million increase in functional and administrative department’s personnel and stock compensation costs, and a $0.8 million increase in miscellaneous expense, mainly due to the increase for the annual meeting expense.
  • Income from Operations: For the six months ended June 30, 2025, income from operations was $4.4 million, compared to $11.3 million income from operation for the same period in 2024. The $6.9 million decrease was primarily driven by a $3.6 million decrease in revenue and $3.3 million increase in total operating expenses.
  • Net Income: For the six months ended June 30, 2025, net income was $5.3 million, compared to $14.5 million net income for the same period in 2024.
  • Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income: For the six months ended June 30, 2025, non-GAAP adjusted net income was $5.8 million, compared to $11.3 million non-GAAP adjusted net income for the same period in 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by the decline in revenue of $3.6 million and increase in operating expenses of $1.9 million.

Full Year 2025 Financial Guidance

For the full year 2025, the Company expects to generate revenues of $118 to $128 million, representing growth of 11.3% to 20.8% over 2024 revenue, primarily driven by the anticipated commercial launches of Etorel and Contiva and sales of ETUARY®.

 Guidance Range
Total Revenue$118 to $128 million
  

Please note that total revenue guidance assumes a constant foreign currency exchange rate and no significant economic disruption or downturn.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures by Gyre Therapeutics, Inc.

Gyre reports financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). This release presents the financial measure “adjusted net income,” which is not calculated in accordance with GAAP. The most directly comparable GAAP measure for this non-GAAP financial measure is “net income.” Adjusted net income presents Gyre’s results of operations after excluding gain from change in fair value of warrants, stock-based compensation, and provision for income taxes. This is meant to supplement, and not substitute, Gyre’s financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted net income as defined by Gyre may not be comparable to similar non-GAAP measures presented by other companies. Management believes that presenting adjusted net income provides investors with additional useful information in evaluating the Gyre’s performance and valuation. See the reconciliation of adjusted net income to net income in the section titled “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.

Release – Cadrenal Therapeutics Reports Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results and Provides Corporate Update

Posted on by aweinsoff@channelchek.com

Research News and Market Data on CVKD

Announces strategic clinical trial plans for tecarfarin in patients with End-Stage Kidney Disease (ESKD) transitioning to dialysis

Tecarfarin can potentially address critical treatment gaps in patients with ESKD

Pivotal step forward in pursuit of ESKD + Atrial Fibrillation (AFib) registration trial

PONTE VEDRA, Fla. – Cadrenal Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: CVKD), a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing transformative therapeutics that specifically address limitations of current anticoagulation therapy, today reported its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025, and provided an update on the strategic focus of the company and clinical development of tecarfarin.

“We continue to advance our goal of developing transformative therapeutics to address the gaps in current anticoagulation therapy for patients with complex needs,” said Quang X. Pham, Chairman & CEO. “This commitment is reflected in our strategic plan to initiate a clinical trial for tecarfarin in end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) for patients transitioning to dialysis. There is a critical need for safe, effective anticoagulants for use in ESKD patients, and tecarfarin’s orphan drug and fast-track designations in ESKD patients with atrial fibrillation (AFib) underscore this need. We are very excited to advance this program.”

“Strong operational execution is fundamental to advancing tecarfarin into late-stage trials,” continued Pham. “By successfully completing the technical transfer of tecarfarin to a U.S. site of a leading global CDMO and manufacturing tecarfarin drug product, we have achieved critical steps in CMC readiness to supply our planned clinical trial and execute our development strategy.”

Highlights from the Quarter Ended June 30, 2025, and Other Recent Events:

Clinical Trial Developments

In August 2025, Cadrenal announced plans to initiate a clinical trial for its late-stage drug candidate, tecarfarin, in patients with ESKD who are transitioning to dialysis, including those with and without atrial fibrillation (AFib). Site activation and screening for patient enrollment are planned to begin later this year.

The need is urgent for this population, as patients with severe kidney disease are at high risk for thrombotic cardiovascular events such as myocardial infarction and stroke, along with a much greater risk of AFib and venous thromboembolism compared to subjects with normal kidney function. When ESKD patients require dialysis, their transition period comes with even greater risk of myocardial infarction, stroke, and a substantial increase in mortality.

Cadrenal expects that this study will be a significant step forward in the continued development of tecarfarin in ESKD and other areas with real opportunities to improve patient outcomes with a potentially better anticoagulant.

Operational Milestones

  • CMC Readiness: Successfully completed the technical transfer and manufacturing of its tecarfarin drug substance in accordance with current good manufacturing practices (cGMP) at a U.S. site of a leading global CDMO. During the second quarter of 2025, the Company manufactured tecarfarin clinical drug product and continued to make important advancements in CMC operations to support regulatory and clinical trial readiness.
  • Market Opportunity Research: During the quarter, the Company performed market research in indications where gaps exist in current anticoagulation therapies. This research reinforced that tecarfarin is uniquely positioned to provide potential clinical benefits in certain populations, such as patients with high-need cardiovascular conditions or renal impairment, where anticoagulation safety and predictability are highly important and valued.

Participation in Key Investor, Medical, and Business Development Conferences

Cadrenal continued to be active during the quarter in conferences to build corporate visibility and underscore its commitment to advancing innovation in anticoagulation therapy. Key interactions included participation at the BIO International Convention in Boston, the Longwood Healthcare Leaders CEO conference in Miami, and the 18th National Conference on Anticoagulation Therapy in Washington, D.C.

Strategic Development Collaborations

Cadrenal continues to explore opportunities to expand the Company’s clinical pipeline and collaborate with potential development partners to advance the development of tecarfarin for patients with ESKD and AFib, LVADs, and for other indications requiring chronic anticoagulation.

Stock Index Benchmarks

Effective June 30, 2025, Cadrenal was added to multiple Russell indexes, including the Russell 3000E and Russell Microcap families. These indexes are widely tracked by institutional investors and index funds, potentially broadening the Company’s shareholder base.

Second Quarter 2025 Financial Highlights

Research and development expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, were $1.1 million compared to $1.3 million for the same period in 2024. General and administrative expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, were $2.7 million compared to $1.2 million for the same period in 2024. Cadrenal reported a net loss of $3.7 million for the quarter ending June 30, 2025, compared to $2.4 million for the same period in 2024.

On June 30, 2025, Cadrenal had cash and cash equivalents of $5.6 million, compared to $10.0 million as of December 31, 2024. The Company had approximately 2.0 million shares of common stock outstanding as of June 30, 2025.

About Cadrenal Therapeutics, Inc.

Cadrenal Therapeutics, Inc. is a biopharmaceutical company developing transformative therapeutics to address limitations of current anticoagulation therapy. Cadrenal’s lead investigational product is tecarfarin, a novel oral vitamin K antagonist anticoagulant that is designed to address unmet needs in anticoagulation therapy. Tecarfarin is a reversible anticoagulant (blood thinner) designed to prevent heart attacks, strokes, and deaths due to blood clots in patients requiring chronic anticoagulation. Although warfarin is widely used off-label for several indications, extensive clinical and real-world data have shown it can have significant, serious side effects. With tecarfarin, Cadrenal is advancing an innovative solution to address the unmet needs in anticoagulation therapy, aiming to reduce the clinical complexities of managing Vitamin K antagonists and where DOACs remain inadequate or unproven.

Tecarfarin received Orphan Drug Designation (ODD) and fast-track status for the prevention of systemic thromboembolism (blood clots) of cardiac origin in patients with end-stage kidney disease and atrial fibrillation (ESKD+AFib). The Company also received ODD for the prevention of thromboembolism and thrombosis in patients with implanted mechanical circulatory support devices, including Left Ventricular Assist Devices (LVADs).

Cadrenal is opportunistically pursuing business development initiatives with a longer-term focus on creating a pipeline of cardiovascular therapeutics. For more information, visit https://www.cadrenal.com/and connect with us on LinkedIn.
