RenovoRx Reports Third Quarter 2023 Financial Results and Operational Highlights

Collaboration with Imugene further validates TAMPTM (Trans-Arterial Micro-Perfusion) and will expand use of RenovoRx’s delivery platform beyond chemotherapy to immunotherapy.

The TAMP therapy platform is in a Phase III clinical trial for the treatment of Pancreatic Cancer, interim analysis was completed in March 2023, and the Data Monitoring Committee recommended a continuation of the study.

TIGeR-PaC is prespecified to provide a primary endpoint of a 6-month Overall Survival (OS) benefit and secondary endpoints including reduced adverse events versus standard of care.

RenovoRx, Inc. (“RenovoRx” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: RNXT), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing targeted combination therapies, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023.

“We remain focused on our core mission to improve the lives of patients diagnosed with difficult-to-treat cancers by delivering novel targeted combination therapies that have the potential to alter the current paradigm of oncology care,” said Shaun Bagai, CEO of RenovoRx. “We are encouraged by the progress in our pivotal Phase III TIGeR-PaC study, and the recent completed interim analysis, along with our partnership with Imugene as we explore pipeline expansion opportunities using our TAMP therapy platform.”

Key Business Highlights:

 

Continued to advance Phase III TIGeR-PaC clinical trial for the treatment of LAPC. The first of two interim analyses was completed in March 2023, and the Data Monitoring Committee recommended a continuation of the study. The study is prespecified to provide a primary endpoint of a 6-month OS benefit and secondary endpoints including reduced adverse events versus standard of care. Additionally, Dr. Michael J. Pishvaian, Johns Hopkins Medicine and Principal Investigator of TIGeR-PaC, presented at the Global Summit on Gastrointestinal Malignancies in Bermuda. The presentation, “Increasing Local Gemcitabine Delivery Using TAMP in the Chemotherapy Advances in Pancreatic Cancer,” highlighted the proprietary TAMP therapy platform and its design to ensure precise delivery for targeted treatment of cancer, and its potential for increased safety, tolerance, and improved efficacy.

 

Ripal Gandhi, FSIR, FSVM, investigator in the TIGeR-PaC study, presented, “Advances in Pancreatic Cancer: Trans-arterial Therapy on the Horizon,” at the Symposium on Clinical Interventional Oncology (CIO) on September 22-24, 2023, in Orlando, Florida. Dr. Gandhi highlighted the TAMP therapy platform as a potential targeted treatment option for patients diagnosed with locally advanced pancreatic cancer versus the standard of care. Dr. Gandhi is a member of the Miami Cancer Institute and Miami Cardiac and Vascular Institute physician team, a Clinical Professor at Florida International University Herbert Wertheim College of Medicine and Associate Professor at USF School of Medicine.

 

Collaboration with Imugene Ltd (ASX: IMU) further validates the TAMP platform and will expand use of RenovoRx’s delivery platform beyond chemotherapy to immunotherapy.

Financial Highlights for Third Quarter ended September 30, 2023:

 

Cash Position: Cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2023, were $3.2 million.

 

R&D Expenses: Research and development expenses were $1.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, compared to $0.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022. The increase was primarily due to our ongoing Phase III clinical trial cost of $0.4 million, an increase in employee and related benefits costs of $0.3 million and general and administrative allocated costs of $0.2 million. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in costs associated with a secondary manufacturer of $0.1 million.

 

G&A Expenses: General and administrative expenses were $1.3 million for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023, flat compared to the same period last year. Employee and related benefits costs increased $0.3 million compared to the same quarter last year. This increase was offset by a decrease in directors’ and officers’ insurance expenses of $0.1 million, including allocation of general and administrative expenses to research and development of $0.2 million.

 

Net Loss: Net loss was $1.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, compared to net loss of $2.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022. The decrease is primarily due to an increase in operating expenses of $0.8 million, offset by $1.5 million reported gain on the fair value of common warrants issued under our Registered Direct Offering in April 2023.

 

Shares Outstanding: Shares of common stock outstanding, as of September 30, 2023, were 10,693,080.
