Company Overview
We are a late-stage pharmaceutical company that discovers, develops, and seeks to commercialize next-generation therapeutics for diseases representing significant unmet medical needs and burdens to society, patients, and their families. Our current pipeline focuses on the central nervous system, inflammatory, and cardiometabolic diseases. We use a chemical genomics driven technology platform and proprietary chemistry to develop new medicines. Our pipeline currently has two drug candidates, brilaroxazine (RP5063) and RP1208. Both are new chemical entities discovered in-house. We have been granted composition of matter patents for both brilaroxazine and RP1208 in the United States (U.S.), Europe, and several other countries.
Our lead drug candidate, brilaroxazine, is in clinical development and is intended to treat multiple neuropsychiatric indications. These include schizophrenia, bipolar disorder (“BD”), major depressive disorder (“MDD”), attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (“ADHD”), behavioral and psychotic symptoms of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease (“BPSD”), and Parkinson’s disease psychosis (“PDP”). Furthermore, brilaroxazine is also ready for clinical development for two respiratory indications — pulmonary arterial hypertension (“PAH”) and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (“IPF”). The U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") granted Orphan Drug Designation to brilaroxazine for the treatment of PAH in November 2016 and IPF in April 2018. Brilaroxazine also is in pre-clinical development for the treatment of psoriasis.
Our primary focus is to complete the clinical development of brilaroxazine for the treatment of acute and maintenance schizophrenia.
Recent Developments
Nasdaq Delisting & OTC Quotation
Our common stock was previously listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”). As previously disclosed, our common stock was not in compliance with the requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share for continued listing on Nasdaq (the “Bid Price Requirement”), and we had until May 11, 2026, which was the maximum extent of the discretionary authority of the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”).
As previously disclosed, having not regained compliance with the Bid Price Requirement by such date, we received a letter from the Panel dated May 12, 2026 indicating that the Panel had determined to delist our common stock from Nasdaq. Our common stock was suspended from trading on Nasdaq as of the open of trading on May 14, 2026, and Nasdaq filed a Form 25 on July 10, 2026 pursuant to Rule 12d2-2(b) to strike the common stock from listing on Nasdaq and/or withdraw registration on Nasdaq.
Beginning on May 14, 2026, our common stock is now quoted on the OTCQB Venture Market operated by OTC Markets Group Inc. under its existing symbol “RVPH.”
Reverse Stock Split
As previously announced, effective March 9, 2026, we implemented a reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding common stock at a ratio of one-for-twenty (1:20) (the “Reverse Split”). In connection with the Reverse Split, our common stock is designated under a new CUSIP number, 76152G209. All share, common stock warrant, prefunded warrant, restricted common stock and common stock option amounts, and per share, per common stock warrant, per prefunded warrant, per restricted common stock and per common stock option amounts, in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, have been retrospectively adjusted as appropriate to reflect the Reverse Split.
FDA Pre-NDA Meeting Feedback on Brilaroxazine Development for Schizophrenia Indication
In November 2025, we met with FDA regarding the potential submission of a new drug application ("NDA") for brilaroxazine for the treatment of schizophrenia in adults and the associated data, and patient enrollment requirements. We received written feedback from FDA in December 2025. FDA informed us that it strongly encouraged us to conduct, prior to submission of an NDA, an additional Phase 3 trial that will be similar in design to the successfully completed RECOVER Phase 3 trial of brilaroxazine utilizing 30 mg and 50 mg doses of brilaroxazine. We indicated to FDA that we will conduct a Phase 3 study incorporating this feedback before submitting an NDA.
FDA also provided us with guidance on, among other topics, methods of data analysis, methods of data presentation, and data requirements for studies of animal pharmacokinetics, human abuse potential, and renal and hepatic impairment.
We plan to initiate patient enrollment in the RECOVER-2 Phase 3 study for brilaroxazine in schizophrenia (the “RECOVER-2 Trial”) in the first half of 2027. As previously reported, the FDA has already cleared the protocol for the RECOVER-2 Trial, and we currently expect study completion in 2028. We anticipate that the RECOVER-2 Trial will be similar in design to our completed RECOVER Phase 3 trial of brilaroxazine. We are expecting FDA feedback in the fourth quarter of 2026 on the incorporation of a new formulation of brilaroxazine into our RECOVER-2 Trial and potential NDA, as described below.
Brilaroxazine Program and Intellectual Property Updates
On April 15, 2026, we announced certain business updates, including in connection with our program for the development of brilaroxazine for the treatment of schizophrenia and regarding our intellectual property strategy.
We announced certain efforts centered on extending the long-term value of the brilaroxazine program and preparing for the next phase of development. A component of that strategy is our effort to extend patent life and commercial exclusivity for brilaroxazine, potentially through 2046. To support this objective, on August 11, 2026, we filed a composition of matter patent application on a new form of brilaroxazine internationally in PCT (Patent Cooperation Treaty) and filed an accelerated application in the United States through the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) Track One Program.
Based on the pre-clinical development package for this new form of brilaroxazine, we are preparing to seek FDA alignment on using this new form of brilaroxazine product in our potential future NDA submission. This would include switching the drug substance of brilaroxazine and its formulation in the second Phase 3 trial in schizophrenia. We believe this type of change is not uncommon in the pharmaceutical industry during late-stage development and prior to NDA filing, particularly when it may strengthen lifecycle management and long-term intellectual property. We are expecting FDA feedback in Q4-2026 on the potential incorporation of the new formulation of brilaroxazine into both our RECOVER-2 Trial and our potential future NDA submission for brilaroxazine for the treatment of schizophrenia. After FDA feedback, we plan to initiate a bioequivalence study to confirm comparability of the new formulation.
If successful, this initiative has the potential to meaningfully extend the commercial exclusivity of brilaroxazine and strengthen our ability to realize the full value of the program over time. Importantly, a longer exclusivity runway could enhance the opportunity to develop brilaroxazine not only in schizophrenia, but also in bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, and other potential high-value indications. We believe this strategy could materially increase the long-term value of the asset and further improve its attractiveness in future investment and strategic partnering discussions.
May 2025 ATM Sales Agreement
On May 30, 2025, we entered into an at market issuance sales agreement (the “May 2025 ATM Sales Agreement”) with B. Riley Securities, Inc. and Alliance Global Partners serving as agents (the “Agents”), with respect to an at-the-market (ATM) offering program under which we may offer and sell, from time to time at our sole discretion, shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $50 million through the Agents. The Company does not expect to utilize the May 2025 ATM Sales Agreement while the Company’s common stock is quoted on the OTC Markets Group. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, we sold 570,845 shares of common stock pursuant to the May 2025 ATM Sales Agreement, for net proceeds of $2.5 million, after deducting sales agent commissions and other offering expenses of approximately $0.1 million. There were no sales pursuant to the May 2025 ATM Sales Agreement during the three months ended June 30, 2026.
March 2026 Public Offering
On March 20, 2026, we closed a public offering (the “March 2026 Public Offering”) pursuant to a placement agency agreement and securities purchase agreements with certain investors participating in the offering, pursuant to which we issued and sold (i) an aggregate of 6,283,334 shares of our common stock, (ii) pre-funded warrants (the “March 2026 Pre-Funded Warrants”) exercisable for an aggregate of up to 383,333 shares of our common stock, (iii) Series G warrants (the “Series G Warrants”) exercisable for an aggregate of up to 6,666,667 shares of our common stock and (iv) Series H warrants (the “Series H Warrants” and together with the Series G Warrants, the “March 2026 Common Stock Warrants”) exercisable for an aggregate of up to 6,666,667 shares of our common stock, for aggregate gross proceeds of $10.0 million. Each share of common stock (or March 2026 Pre-Funded Warrant in lieu thereof) was sold together with (i) a Series G Warrant to purchase one share of common stock and (ii) a Series H Warrant to purchase one share of common stock, at a combined public offering price of $1.50 per share of common stock and accompanying March 2026 Common Stock Warrants (or a combined public offering price of $1.4999 per March 2026 Pre-Funded Warrant and accompanying March 2026 Common Stock Warrants). The March 2026 Pre-Funded Warrants have an exercise price of $0.0001 per share and will expire when exercised in full. The Series G Warrants are exercisable immediately, have a term of five years from the date of issuance and have an exercise price of $1.50 per share. The Series H Warrants are exercisable immediately, have a term of twelve months and have an exercise price of $1.50 per share. The net proceeds to us from the March 2026 Public Offering were approximately $8.9 million, after deducting placement agent fees and expenses and other offering expenses payable by us.
Intellectual Property Overview
We are the sole owner of our patent portfolio that includes issued patents and pending patent applications covering compositions of matter and methods of use of our product candidates RP5063 (brilaroxazine) and RP1208, as well as related compounds. As of June 30, 2026, our portfolio of intellectual property consists of 76 granted patents and 23 pending patent applications in the United States and in over 26 foreign countries.
Brilaroxazine is our first intended commercial product. The original brilaroxazine patents include composition of matter, and methods of use in treating acute mania, autism, BD, depression, psychosis, and schizophrenia. One brilaroxazine original patent (U.S. Patent No. 8,188,076) and its 7 divisional/continuation patents have been granted in the U.S. The original brilaroxazine patents have also been granted in the following foreign countries: Australia, Brazil, Canada, Germany, Spain, France, Great Britain, Hong Kong, Israel, India, Italy, Japan, South Korea, Liechtenstein, Mexico, Russia, Slovakia, and Thailand. We believe that our patent portfolio provides good protection of brilaroxazine. All the U.S. and foreign original brilaroxazine granted patents and pending patent applications will expire or are expected to expire in 2030, if a patent term extension is not obtained. If and when brilaroxazine receives regulatory approval, we intend to apply for patent term extensions on patents covering brilaroxazine in any jurisdiction where patent term extension is available. For example, the expiration date of the first U.S. original brilaroxazine patent may be extendable up to 2035.
We also own additional brilaroxazine granted patents and pending patent applications for additional indications. We own attention hyperactivity disorder patents in the U.S., which will expire in 2035. We own pulmonary arterial hypertension patents in the U.S., Europe, China, Japan, and Hong Kong; all of which will expire in 2036. We own pulmonary fibrosis patents in the U.S., China, Europe, Japan, and Hong Kong, and pending applications in Brazil, which are all expected to expire in 2038.
We have one family of pending applications directed to a formulation of brilaroxazine, which are filed in Brazil, Canada, China, Europe, India, Japan, Korea, Mexico, and the U.S.
We have one family of pending applications directed to a method of using brilaroxazine for treating psoriasis, which are filed in Brazil, Canada, China, Europe, Japan, Korea, Mexico, and the U.S.
We have one U.S. pending application directed to a brilaroxazine composition.
We have one international application pending directed to a method of using brilaroxazine for treating a specific symptom.
We also have one U.S. provisional application pending directed to brilaroxazine composition.
All information regarding our patents and applications in this “Intellectual Property Overview” section is furnished as of June 30, 2026. For information regarding filings subsequent to such date including with respect to a new form of brilaroxazine, please see the discussion appearing under the caption “Brilaroxazine Program and Intellectual Property Updates,” above.
Financial Overview
We are a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company and have not generated any revenues from the sale of products. We have never been profitable and have incurred losses since inception. As of June 30, 2026, we had a working capital surplus of approximately $15.2 million, an accumulated deficit of approximately $189.8 million and cash and cash equivalents on hand of approximately $19.9 million. Our net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, was approximately $2.4 million and $6.1 million, respectively. Our net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, was approximately $5.6 million and $12.5 million, respectively. We expect our expenses to increase in connection with our ongoing activities to research, develop and commercialize our product candidates. Furthermore, we continue to expect to incur additional costs associated with operating as a public company, which may increase as we continue our efforts to remediate the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting that we identified as more particularly described in Part II, Item 9A of our fiscal year 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K, and in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q below in the section of Part I captioned "Item 4. Controls and Procedures." We will need to generate significant revenues to achieve profitability, and we may never do so.
We expect our expenses will increase in connection with our ongoing activities, as we:
- invest significantly to further research and develop, through clinical trials for brilaroxazine, including completion of remaining OLE activities, initiating and conducting our Phase 3 RECOVER-2 Trial, and pre-clinical research for RP1208, and seek regulatory approval for our product candidates brilaroxazine and RP1208;
- identify and develop additional product candidates;
- hire additional clinical, scientific and management personnel;
- seek regulatory and marketing approvals for any product candidates that we may develop;
- ultimately establish a sales, marketing and distribution infrastructure to commercialize any drugs for which we may obtain marketing approval;
- maintain, expand and protect our intellectual property portfolio;
- acquire or in-license other drugs and technologies; and
- add operational, financial and management information systems and personnel, including personnel to support our product candidate development, and any future commercialization efforts, and our ongoing compliance with and maintenance of public company controls, procedures and regulatory requirements and standards. and including in connection with our continuing efforts to remediate the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting that we identified as more particularly described in Part I, Item 4 of this Quarterly Report on form 10-Q, "Controls and Procedures."
Research and Development Expenses
We focus our resources on research and development activities, including the conduct of pre-clinical and clinical studies and product development and expense such costs as they are incurred. We have not historically tracked or recorded research and development expenses on a project-by-project basis, primarily because we use our employee and infrastructure resources across multiple research and development projects, and it is not practical for us to allocate such costs on a project-by-project basis. Our research and development expenses primarily consist of clinical trial expenses and employee-related expenses, including deferred salaries, salaries, benefits and taxes for personnel in research and development functions.
The largest recurring component of our total operating expenses has historically been research and development activities. We expect our research and development expenses will increase for the next several years as we advance our development programs, pursue regulatory approval of our product candidates in the U.S. and other jurisdictions and prepare for potential commercialization, which would require a significant investment in costs related to contract manufacturing and inventory buildup.
Our primary product candidates and their current status are as follows:
| Drug Candidate | Indication | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Brilaroxazine (RP5063) | Schizophrenia | - Conducted pivotal Phase 3 RECOVER-1 and long-term safety studies. Topline data for the RECOVER-1 Trial double-blind part announced October 30, 2023 - OLE positive preliminary topline data readout reported in December 2024, with full data-set and successful completion of the OLE announced in June 2025 - Feedback from FDA on potential incorporation of a new formulation of brilaroxazine into the RECOVER-2 Trial and potential NDA expected in Q4-2026* - After FDA feedback, we plan to initiate a bioequivalence study to confirm comparability of the new formulation* - We plan to initiate patient enrollment in our RECOVER-2 Trial in 1H-2027* |
| Brilaroxazine | Bipolar Disorder | Phase 1 complete** |
| Brilaroxazine | Depression-MDD | Phase 1 complete** |
| Brilaroxazine | Alzheimer’s (AD-Psychosis/Behavior) | Phase 1 complete** |
| Brilaroxazine | Parkinson’s | Phase 1 complete** |
| Brilaroxazine | ADHD/ADD | Phase 1 complete** |
| Brilaroxazine | PAH | Phase 1 complete** |
| Brilaroxazine | IPF | Phase 1 complete** |
| Brilaroxazine | Psoriasis | In pre-clinical development |
| RP1208 | Depression | In pre-clinical development. Completed studies including in vitro receptor binding studies, animal efficacy studies, and PK studies. Compound ready for IND enabling studies. |
| RP1208 | Obesity | In pre-clinical development. Completed studies, including in vitro receptor binding studies and PK studies. Compound ready for animal efficacy studies. |
* We plan to initiate patient enrollment in the RECOVER-2 Phase 3 study for brilaroxazine in schizophrenia (the “RECOVER-2 Trial”) in the first half of 2027. As previously reported, the FDA has already cleared the protocol for the RECOVER-2 Trial, and we currently expect study completion in 2028. We anticipate that the RECOVER-2 Trial will be similar in design to our completed RECOVER Phase 3 trial of brilaroxazine. We announced certain efforts centered on extending the long-term value of the brilaroxazine program and preparing for the next phase of development. As described above, in connection with our effort to extend patent life and commercial exclusivity for brilaroxazine potentially through 2046, we have filed a composition of matter patent application on a new form of brilaroxazine internationally in PCT (Patent Cooperation Treaty) and filed an accelerated application in the United States through the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) Track One Program. Based on the pre-clinical development package for this new form of brilaroxazine, we are preparing to seek FDA alignment on using this new form of brilaroxazine product in our future new drug application (“NDA”) submission. This would include switching the drug substance of brilaroxazine and its formulation in the RECOVER-2 Trial. We are expecting FDA feedback on this strategy in Q4-2026. After FDA feedback, we plan to initiate a bioequivalence study to confirm comparability of the new formulation.
** We completed the Phase 1 clinical study for brilaroxazine prior to starting the Phase 2 study in schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder, and completed our RECOVER-1 Trial double-blind part in acute schizophrenia patients for which we announced topline data in October 2023. In these three studies, we collected safety data for brilaroxazine in over 800 patients, including healthy subjects and patients with stable schizophrenia, acute schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder. Generally, no separate Phase 1 study is required for conducting a Phase 2 study for an additional indication, provided the treatment doses in the Phase 2 study for an additional indication are within the range of doses tested in the previously completed Phase 1 study.
General Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses primarily consist of payroll and related costs for employees in executive, business development, finance, and administrative functions. Other significant general and administrative expenses include professional fees for accounting and legal services.
We expect general and administrative expenses to increase as we expand infrastructure and continue the development of our clinical programs. Other increases could potentially include increased costs for director and officer liability insurance, costs related to the hiring of additional personnel, and increased fees for directors, outside consultants, lawyers, and accountants. We expect to incur significant costs to comply with corporate governance, internal controls, and similar requirements applicable to public companies.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Our critical accounting estimates are disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, as filed with the SEC on March 30, 2026. Since the date of such Annual Report, there have been no material changes in our critical accounting estimates

Research and Development Expenses
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. These expenses represent both internal and external costs.
For the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, research and development expenses were approximately $1.4 million and $3.7 million, respectively. Specifically, during the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, our research and development costs consisted primarily of the following costs associated with our key research and development projects for advancing the clinical development of brilaroxazine during the reporting periods, which during such periods consisted primarily of our OLE Trial for our Phase 3 clinical study for brilaroxazine: (i) internal salaries, wages and other payroll related costs for employees involved in research and development activities, of approximately $0.4 million and $0.6 million in each period, respectively; (ii) internal stock-based compensation expenses with respect to employees involved in research and development activities, of approximately $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively; and (iii) external research and development expenses of approximately $0.9 million and $2.9 million, respectively (which includes clinical (including clinical consulting) research and development costs of approximately $0.6 million and $2.6 million, respectively, non-clinical safety related costs of an insignificant amount and approximately $0.1 million, respectively, non-clinical manufacturing related costs of approximately $0.2 million in each period and non-clinical consulting costs of $0.1 million and an insignificant amount, respectively.
The decrease in research and development expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily attributed to a decrease in external clinical research and development costs, partially attributed to a decrease in costs associated with patient visits as the OLE Trial proceeded toward completion during 2025 with the remaining OLE activities thereafter consisting of post-data readout activities and trial wind-down costs.
We expect our research and development activities to substantially increase as we develop our existing product candidates and potentially acquire new product candidates, reflecting increasing costs associated with our ongoing operations, including expenses associated with activities required to complete the development of brilaroxazine in schizophrenia including expenses associated with our Phase 3 RECOVER-2 Trial, expenses to take us through the submission of the planned NDA for brilaroxazine, together with additional costs post-NDA submission in preparation of potential commercialization if approved.

For the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, general and administrative expenses were approximately $1.2 million and $2.3 million, respectively. Specifically, during the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, our general and administrative expenses consisted primarily of: (i) stock-based compensation expense of approximately $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively; (ii) consultant and professional expenses of approximately $0.3 million and $1.0 million, respectively; (iii) legal expenses of approximately $0.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively; (iv) employee-related expenses of approximately $0.5 million in each period; and (v) Directors and Officers insurance expenses of approximately $0.1 million in each period.
Gain on Remeasurement of Warrant Liabilities
We recognized a remeasurement of warrant liabilities gain of approximately $11.1 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2025 resulting from a decrease in the calculated fair value of the warrants, principally as a result of the decrease in our stock price. Our previously outstanding liability-classified warrants expired in December 2025; accordingly, no gain or loss was recognized for the three months ended June 30, 2026.
Interest Expense
We incurred interest expense of approximately $2.9 thousand and $4.8 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The decrease in interest expense is attributed to the reduced interest rate on short term debt obtained by us related to Directors and Officers liability insurance policy premiums.
Interest Income
Interest income was approximately $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and an insignificant amount for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The interest income increase of approximately $0.2 million was primarily due to an increase in average cash balances during the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025.
Other Expense, net
Other expense, net was approximately $1.0 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and approximately $1.9 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease of approximately $0.9 thousand was primarily attributable to a lower period-over-period foreign currency transaction loss from foreign currency fluctuations related to the consolidation of our Indian subsidiary.
Comparison of the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025:
The following table summarizes our results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025:
| Operating expenses | Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 | 2025 | Change Amount | Change Percentage |

| Net loss | $(5,643,818) | $(12,486,450) |
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. These expenses represent both internal and external costs.
For the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, research and development expenses were approximately $2.8 million and $7.8 million, respectively. Specifically, during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, our research and development costs consisted primarily of the following costs associated with our key research and development projects for advancing the clinical development of brilaroxazine during the reporting periods, which during such periods consisted primarily of our OLE Trial for our Phase 3 clinical study for brilaroxazine: (i) internal salaries, wages and other payroll related costs for employees involved in research and development activities, of approximately $0.9 million and $1.4 million in each period, respectively; (ii) internal stock-based compensation expenses with respect to employees involved in research and development activities, of approximately $0.4 million and $0.5 million, respectively; and (iii) external research and development expenses of approximately $1.5 million and $5.9 million, respectively (which includes clinical (including clinical consulting) research and development costs of approximately $1.0 million and $4.8 million, respectively, non-clinical safety related costs of an insignificant amount and approximately $0.6 million, respectively, non-clinical manufacturing related costs of approximately $0.2 million in each period, non-clinical consulting and other related costs of approximately $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively) and non-clinical IPF costs of approximately $0.1 million and an insignificant amount, respectively.
The decrease in research and development expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily attributed to a decrease in external clinical research and development costs, partially attributed to a decrease in costs associated with patient visits as the OLE Trial proceeded toward completion during 2025 with the remaining OLE activities thereafter consisting of post-data readout activities and trial wind-down costs.
We expect our research and development activities to substantially increase as we develop our existing product candidates and potentially acquire new product candidates, reflecting increasing costs associated with our ongoing operations, including expenses associated with activities required to complete the development of brilaroxazine in schizophrenia including expenses associated with our Phase 3 RECOVER-2 Trial, expenses to take us through the submission of the planned NDA for brilaroxazine, together with additional costs post-NDA submission in preparation of potential commercialization if approved. For additional information, please see the discussion appearing above in the introductory section of this Part I-Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
General and Administrative Expenses
For the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, general and administrative expenses were approximately $3.1 million and $4.8 million, respectively. Specifically, during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, our general and administrative expenses consisted primarily of: (i) stock-based compensation expense of approximately $0.4 million and $0.8 million, respectively; (ii) consultant and professional expenses of approximately $0.9 million and $1.9 million, respectively; (iii) legal expenses of approximately $0.5 million and $0.7 million, respectively; (iv) employee-related expenses of approximately $1.0 million in each period; (v) Directors and Officers insurance expenses of approximately $0.2 million in each period; and (vi) other general and administrative expenses of approximately $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively.
Gain on Remeasurement of Warrant Liabilities
We recognized a remeasurement of warrant liabilities gain of approximately $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 resulting from a decrease in the calculated fair value of the warrants, principally as a result of the decrease in our stock price. Our previously outstanding liability-classified warrants expired in December 2025; accordingly, no gain or loss was recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2026.
Interest Expense
We incurred interest expense of approximately $9.6 thousand and $16.4 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The decrease in interest expense is attributed to the reduced interest rate on short term debt obtained by us related to Directors and Officers liability insurance policy premiums.
Interest Income
Interest income was approximately $0.3 million and $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The interest income increase of approximately $0.2 million was primarily due to an increase in average cash balances during the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025.
Other Expense, net
Other expense, net was approximately $4.4 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and approximately $27.0 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease of approximately $22.6 thousand was primarily attributable to a lower period-over-period foreign currency transaction loss from foreign currency fluctuations related to the consolidation of our Indian subsidiary.

Capital Resources
We have funded our operations to date primarily from the issuance and sale of our equity and equity-linked securities, such as warrants. As of June 30, 2026, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $19.9 million. To fund our current operating plans, we will need to raise significant additional capital. Our existing cash and cash equivalents will not be sufficient for us to complete development of our product candidates and, if applicable, to prepare for commercializing any product candidate that may receive approval. Accordingly, we will continue to require substantial additional capital beyond our existing cash to continue our clinical development and potential commercialization activities. We believe that we have adequate cash on hand to cover anticipated outlays into July 2027, but will need additional fundraising activities and cash on hand prior to such time. We have based this estimate, however, on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and could spend available financial resources much faster than we currently expect. We will need to raise additional funds to continue funding our development efforts and operations. We intend to secure such additional funding, although there are no guarantees or commitments for additional funding. These conditions raise substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year after the date the consolidated financial statements are issued. The amount and timing of our future funding requirements will depend on many factors, including the pace and results of our clinical development efforts. We will seek to fund our operations through public or private equity, debt financings or other sources, which may include collaborations with third parties. Adequate additional financing may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. Our failure to raise capital as and when needed would have a negative impact on our financial condition, and our ability to pursue our business strategy, and our ability to continue as a going concern. We cannot assure you that we will ever be profitable or generate positive cash flow from operating activities.
We expect to continue to incur significant expenses and operating losses for the foreseeable future as we continue our research and pre-clinical and clinical development of our product candidates including our planned RECOVER-2 Phase 3 Trial for brilaroxazine in schizophrenia and other activities to continue development of our brilaroxazine program; expand the scope of our current studies for our product candidates; initiate additional pre-clinical, clinical or other studies for our product candidates; change or add additional manufacturers or suppliers; seek regulatory and marketing approvals for any of our product candidates that successfully complete clinical studies; seek to identify, evaluate and validate additional product candidates; acquire or in-license other product candidates and technologies; maintain, protect and expand our intellectual property portfolio; attract and retain skilled personnel; add operational, financial and management information systems and personnel, including personnel to support our product candidate development, and any future commercialization efforts, and our ongoing compliance with and maintenance of public company controls, procedures and regulatory requirements and standards, including in connection with our ongoing remediation efforts regarding the material weaknesses in our internal controls as disclosed in Part I, Item 4, "Controls and Procedures," of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q; and experience any delays or encounter issues with any of the above. See also the discussion set forth under the caption “Financial Overview” appearing in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation section above.
On March 20, 2026, we closed a public offering (the “March 2026 Public Offering”) conducted pursuant to a placement agency agreement (the “March 2026 Placement Agency Agreement”) and securities purchase agreements with certain investors participating in the offering, pursuant to which we issued and sold (i) an aggregate of 6,283,334 shares of common stock, (ii) pre-funded warrants (the “March 2026 Pre-Funded Warrants”) exercisable for an aggregate of up to 383,333 shares of common stock (the “March 2026 Pre-Funded Warrant Shares”), (iii) Series G warrants (the “Series G Warrants”) exercisable for an aggregate of up to 6,666,667 shares of common stock (the “Series G Warrant Shares”) and (iv) Series H warrants (the “Series H Warrants” and together with the Series G Warrants, the “March 2026 Common Stock Warrants”) exercisable for an aggregate of up to 6,666,667 shares of common stock (the “Series H Warrant Shares” and together with the March 2026 Pre-Funded Warrant Shares and Series G Warrant Shares, the “March 2026 Warrant Shares”), for aggregate gross proceeds of $10.0 million. Each share of common stock (or March 2026 Pre-Funded Warrant in lieu thereof) was sold together with (i) a Series G Warrant to purchase one share of common stock and (ii) a Series H Warrant to purchase one share of common stock, at a combined public offering price of $1.50 per share of common stock and accompanying March 2026 Common Stock Warrants (or a combined public offering price of $1.4999 per March 2026 Pre-Funded Warrant and accompanying March 2026 Common Stock Warrants). The March 2026 Pre-Funded Warrants have an exercise price of $0.0001 per share and will expire when exercised in full. The Series G Warrants are exercisable immediately, have a term of five years from the date of issuance and have an exercise price of $1.50 per share. The Series H Warrants are exercisable immediately, have a term of twelve months and have an exercise price of $1.50 per share. The net proceeds to us from the March 2026 Public Offering were approximately $8.9 million, after deducting Placement Agent fees and expenses and other offering expenses payable by us.
During the six months ended June 30, 2026 , we sold 570,845 shares of common stock pursuant to the May 2025 ATM Sales Agreement for net proceeds of $2.5 million after deducting sales agent commissions and other offering expenses of approximately $0.1 million. During the three months ended June 30, 2026, and through the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we have not sold any shares of common stock pursuant to the May 2025 ATM Sales Agreement.
Until such time as we can generate substantial product revenue, if ever, we expect to finance our cash needs through a combination of equity or debt financings and collaboration agreements. We do not currently have any committed external sources of capital. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the future sale of equity or debt, the ownership interest of our stockholders will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of our existing stockholders. If we raise additional funds through collaboration agreements in the future, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams or product candidates or grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us. If we are unable to raise additional funds through equity or debt financings when needed, we may be required to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our product development or future commercialization efforts or grant rights to develop and market product candidates that we would otherwise prefer to develop and market ourselves. Adequate additional financing may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. If we are not able to secure additional funding when needed, we may have to delay, reduce the scope of or eliminate one or more of our clinical trials or research and development programs or make changes to our operating plan, or curtail or cease operations. We will need to generate significant revenues to achieve profitability, and we may never do so.
Cash Flows
Net Cash Used in Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was approximately $5.9 million, consisting primarily of a net loss of approximately $5.6 million, adjusted for non-cash items, including stock-based compensation expense of approximately $0.8 million, coupled with a decrease in our operating assets and liabilities totaling approximately $1.1 million. The $1.1 million decrease in net operating assets and liabilities was primarily due to a decrease in accounts payable as well as accrued expenses and other current liabilities coupled with an increase in prepaid clinical trial costs, net with a decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets.
Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2025, was approximately $13.2 million, consisting primarily of a net loss of approximately $12.5 million, adjusted for non-cash items, including a change in fair value of warrant liabilities gain of approximately $0.1 million, and stock-based compensation expense of approximately $1.3 million, coupled with a decrease in our operating assets and liabilities totaling approximately $1.9 million. The $1.9 million decrease in net operating assets and liabilities was primarily due to a decrease in accrued clinical expenses, other accrued expenses and accounts payable coupled with an increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets, net with a decrease in prepaid clinical trial costs.
Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was approximately $11.4 million. Cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2026 was attributable to approximately $9.1 million in proceeds from issuance of common stock, common stock warrants, and pre-funded warrants, net of transaction costs paid, and $2.5 million in net proceeds from the issuance of common stock pursuant to the May 2025 ATM Sales Agreement, which was offset by the repayments of short-term debt of approximately $0.2 million.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was approximately $10.1 million. Cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2025 was attributable to (i) $10.0 million in gross proceeds from the sale of common stock, Series C Common Warrants and Series D Common Warrants in our June 2025 Public Offering, partially offset by transaction costs of approximately $1.0 million, approximately $0.2 million of which were not yet paid as of June 30, 2025; (ii) gross proceeds of approximately $1.0 million from the sale of common stock under our May 2025 ATM Sales Agreement, partially offset by transaction costs of approximately $0.3 million, approximately $0.3 million of which were not yet paid as of June 30, 2025; and (iii) approximately $0.2 million in proceeds from the exercise of common stock warrants. The foregoing were partially offset by repayments on the short-term debt of approximately $0.3 million.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We did not have during the periods presented, and do not currently have, any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined under SEC rules.
Controls and procedures
As filed, 8,000 characters, with its headings, lists and tables. Extracted from the main document; charts and exhibits are in the original on sec.gov.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations thereunder, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and implementation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of June 30, 2026. Based on that evaluation, management concluded that as of June 30, 2026, the Company did not maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures because of the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described below.
We identified the following entity-level material weaknesses. We have an ineffective control environment, including an insufficient number of personnel with an appropriate level of knowledge and experience to create the proper environment for effective internal control over financial reporting, and did not maintain the other components of the framework in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), including appropriate risk assessment, control activities, information and communication, and monitoring activities components relating to (i) sufficiency of processes related to identifying and analyzing risks to the achievement of objectives, including technology, across the entity, (ii) developing general control activities over technology to support the achievement of objectives across the entity, (iii) sufficiency of selecting and developing control activities that contribute to the mitigation of risks to the achievement of objectives to acceptable levels and (iv) sufficiency of monitoring activities to ascertain whether the components of internal control are present and functioning.
The entity-level material weaknesses contributed to other material weaknesses within our system of internal control over financial reporting as follows:
- We did not design and maintain effective information technology (IT) general controls for certain information systems supporting our key financial reporting processes. Specifically, we did not design and maintain (a) change management controls to ensure that program and data changes affecting financial applications and underlying accounting records are identified, tested, authorized and implemented appropriately, (b) access controls to ensure appropriate IT segregation of duties are maintained that adequately restrict and segregate privileged access between environments which support development and production, (c) controls to monitor on an on-going basis for the proper segregation of privileged access between environments which support development and production and (d) operations controls to ensure appropriate interfacing between systems. As a result, IT application controls and business process controls (automated and manual) that are dependent on the ineffective IT general controls, or that rely on data produced from systems impacted by the ineffective IT general controls, are also deemed ineffective.
- We did not design and maintain effective process-level controls, which affects substantially all account balances and disclosures.
These material weaknesses have a pervasive impact and consequently, impact control activities over all financial statement account balances, classes of transactions, and disclosures.
Management’s Remediation Measures
We are committed to continuing to improve our internal control over financial reporting, and also our IT general controls. As of the date hereof, we have commenced procedures to remediate the material weaknesses, including the hiring of an additional internal accounting resource, engaging a third-party consulting firm to assist with the enhancement of IT general controls over information systems relevant to financial reporting, including privileged access and segregation of duties; and with continued realignment of existing personnel to strengthen management’s review and documentation over internal control over financial reporting.
We will continue to monitor the design and effectiveness of these procedures and controls and make any further changes we determine appropriate.
Notwithstanding the existence of the material weaknesses as described above, we believe that the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows as of the dates, and for the periods presented, in conformity with U.S. GAAP.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risks that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Except as discussed above, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the period covered by the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
Risk factors
As filed, 9,926 characters, with its headings, lists and tables. Extracted from the main document; charts and exhibits are in the original on sec.gov.
Our business is subject to substantial risks and uncertainties. An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. The information presented below supplements the risk factors previously disclosed in "Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors," in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, as filed with the SEC on March 30, 2026. In addition to the other information set forth in this report and in our other SEC filings from time to time, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in "Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, as filed with the SEC on March 30, 2026, as supplemented by the information below, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, as filed with the SEC on March 30, 2026, as supplemented by the information below, may not be the only risks facing the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to the Company or that the Company currently deems to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition and/or operating results. Except as required by the federal securities law, we undertake no obligation to update or revise any risk factor, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
We are heavily dependent on the success of brilaroxazine, our only advanced product candidate, which is still under clinical development, and if brilaroxazine does not receive regulatory approval or is not successfully commercialized, our business will be harmed.
We currently have no products that are approved for commercial sale and may never be able to develop marketable drug products. We expect that a substantial portion of our efforts and expenditures in the foreseeable future will be devoted to brilaroxazine. Our only other product candidate is RP1208, which is in the pre-clinical phase. We do not expect to allocate a significant portion of our efforts or resources to the clinical trials or development of this product candidate in the foreseeable future. Accordingly, our business currently depends heavily on the successful development, regulatory approval and commercialization of brilaroxazine. We cannot be certain that brilaroxazine will receive regulatory approval or be successfully commercialized even if we receive regulatory approval. The research, testing, manufacturing, labeling, approval, sale, marketing and distribution of drug products are and will remain subject to extensive regulation by the FDA and other regulatory authorities in the United States and other countries that each have differing regulations. We are not permitted to market brilaroxazine in the United States until we receive approval of a new drug application, or NDA, from the FDA, or in any foreign countries until we receive the requisite approval from such countries. We have not submitted an NDA to the FDA or comparable applications to other regulatory authorities and do not expect to be in a position to do so for the foreseeable future, including with respect to brilaroxazine for schizophrenia, pending completion of all studies and trials including completion of the planned bioequivalence study for the new brilaroxazine form and our planned RECOVER-2 trial. Obtaining approval of an NDA is an extensive, lengthy, expensive and inherently uncertain process, and the FDA may delay, limit or deny approval of brilaroxazine and our other product candidates for many reasons, including:
- we may not be able to demonstrate that brilaroxazine is safe and effective as a treatment for our targeted indications to the FDA’s satisfaction;
- the FDA may require additional Phase 3 trials of brilaroxazine in schizophrenia, including in connection with our plan to switch to a new form of brilaroxazine in the Phase 3 RECOVER-2 trial, which would increase our costs and prolong brilaroxazine’s development;
- the results of our clinical trials may not meet the level of statistical or clinical significance required by the FDA for marketing approval;
- the FDA may disagree with the number, design, size, conduct or implementation of our clinical trials;
- the contract research organizations, or CROs, that we retain to conduct clinical trials may take actions outside of our control that materially adversely impact our clinical trials;
- the FDA may not find the data from preclinical studies and clinical trials sufficient to demonstrate that the clinical and other benefits of brilaroxazine outweigh its safety risks;
- the FDA may disagree with our interpretation of data from its preclinical studies and clinical trials or may require that we conduct additional studies;
- the FDA may not accept data generated at our clinical trial sites;
- if our NDA is reviewed by an advisory committee, the FDA may have difficulties scheduling an advisory committee meeting in a timely manner or the advisory committee may recommend against approval of our application or may recommend that the FDA require, as a condition of approval, additional preclinical studies or clinical trials, limitations on approved labeling or distribution and use restrictions;
- the FDA may require development of a risk evaluation and mitigation strategy, or REMS, as a condition of approval;
- the FDA may identify deficiencies in the manufacturing processes or facilities of our third-party manufacturers; or
- the FDA may change its approval policies or adopt new regulations.
Our common stock was delisted from trading on Nasdaq and is currently quoted under its trading symbol “RVPH” on the OTCQB Venture Market tier of the OTC Markets Group, which involves additional risks compared to being listed on a national securities exchange.
As previously disclosed, on May 12, 2026, we received notice from the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) that the Panel had determined to delist our common stock from The Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) due to our non-compliance with the requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share for continued listing on Nasdaq (the “Bid Price Requirement”), and as a result our common stock was suspended from trading on Nasdaq as of the open of trading on May 14, 2026 (the “Nasdaq Delisting”). Commencing May 14, 2026, our common stock is now quoted on the OTCQB Venture Market tier of the OTC Markets Group (the “OTCQB Venture Market”), continuing to utilize its existing trading symbol “RVPH”.
The Nasdaq Delisting has adversely impacted our Company, and may continue to materially and adversely impact us in several ways, including, without limitation, by (i) reducing the liquidity and market price of our common stock; (ii) reducing the number of investors willing or able to hold or acquire our common stock, which could negatively impact our ability to raise equity financing; (iii) impairing our ability to provide equity incentives to our employees; (iv) impacting our common stock as it will fall within the definition of a “penny stock,” which would cause brokers trading our common stock to adhere to more stringent rules; (v) causing analysts to limit or stop coverage of our common stock; and (vi) limiting availability of market quotations for our common stock.
Although our common stock is currently available for quotation on the OTCQB Venture Market, the fact that our common stock is quoted on the OTC Markets (rather than being listed on a national securities exchange), has and may continue to result in limited liquidity of the public trading market for our common stock. The lack of an active, liquid trading market for our common stock could have material adverse effects on our business, financial condition and future prospects due to, among other things, impairing the ability of holders of our common stock to sell their shares at the time they wish to sell them or at a price that they consider reasonable and reducing the trading liquidity and fair market value of the shares of our common stock, as well as our ability raise funds through the sale of equity or equity-linked securities that will be required to operate our existing and future business.
Trading on the OTC Markets is volatile and sporadic, which could depress the market price of our common stock and make it difficult for our security holders to resell their common stock.
The OTC Markets system is a network of security dealers who buy and sell stock. The dealers are connected by a computer network that provides information on current “bids” and “asks,” as well as volume information. Trading in securities quoted on the OTC Markets is often thin and characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices, due to many factors, some of which may have little to do with our operations or business prospects. This volatility could depress the market price of our common stock for reasons unrelated to operating performance. Moreover, the OTC Markets is not a stock exchange, and trading of securities on the OTC Markets is often more sporadic than the trading of securities listed on a national stock exchange. These factors may result in investors having difficulty reselling any shares of our common stock.
If we fail to comply with the continuing listing standards of the OTC Markets system, our common stock could be delisted, which could affect the market price of our common stock and reduce our ability to raise capital.
There can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain compliance with the continued listing requirements for the OTCQB Venture Market. If we fail to maintain compliance with any such continued listing requirement, there can also be no assurance that we will be able to regain compliance with any such continued listing requirement in the future.
