You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with our unaudited condensed interim condensed financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Report, our management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024, which is included in our 2024 Annual Report.

This discussion contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act that reflect our plans, estimates, and beliefs that involve risks and uncertainties, including those described in the section of this Report titled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” Our actual results and the timing of selected events could differ materially from those discussed below. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those identified below and those set forth under the section titled “Risk Factors” included elsewhere in this Report and in the 2024 Annual Report.

As used herein, the term “common stock” refers to our common stock, par value $0.0001 per share.

Overview

We are a life sciences company offering RenovoCath®, a novel, U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”)-cleared local drug delivery device, targeting high unmet medical needs, with a present focus on difficult to treat cancers. Our mission is to transform the lives of cancer patients by providing innovative solutions to enable targeted therapeutic delivery.

We are both a clinical stage and a commercial stage enterprise. Our clinical stage lead product candidate is a novel drug-device combination product consisting of intra-arterial delivery of the chemotherapy gemcitabine via RenovoCath -- we refer to our lead product candidate herein as “IAG.” IAG is currently the subject of a Phase III clinical study for the treatment of locally advanced pancreatic cancer (“LAPC”). At the same time, we are commercializing RenovoCath for standalone use by interventional radiologists, oncologists, and other medical professionals who can use RenovoCath to treat patients within its FDA-cleared fields of use.

Our RenovoCath device utilize our patented Trans-Arterial Micro-Perfusion (“TAMP™”) therapy platform, which is designed to ensure targeted therapeutic delivery across the arterial wall near the tumor site to bathe the target tumor, while potentially minimizing a therapy’s toxicities versus systemic intravenous therapy, including chemotherapy. Our novel approach to targeted treatment offers the potential for increased safety, tolerance, and improved efficacy. RenovoCath is indicated for temporary vessel occlusion in applications including arteriography, preoperative occlusion, and chemotherapeutic drug infusion. We hold a robust portfolio of 19 issued patents and 12 pending patents covering our TAMP technology.

Commercialization of RenovoCath

For the past several years, we have focused our efforts on progressing IAG through clinical trials. However, based on organic demand from doctors in the field who have become familiar with our technology, in 2024, we made the decision to launch an effort to commercialize our RenovoCath delivery device as a standalone device within its FDA cleared uses. Commenced in the field in the fourth quarter of 2024, this commercial effort has already begun to achieve positive results, including our first commercial sales revenue. To accommodate increased need for RenovoCath supply, we expanded our relationship with our U.S.-based third-party RenovoCath manufacturer, Medical Murray, Inc.

We are encouraged by the strong organic demand we are seeing for RenovoCath. In December 2024, we announced that over ten medical institutions had initiated the process for RenovoCath purchase orders, and in February 2025, we announced additional purchase orders received from several esteemed, high volume National Cancer Institute-designated centers and that utilization of RenovoCath devices by our initial customers led to repeat purchase orders. Further, we believe the approximately twenty cancer centers that have used RenovoCath as part of our ongoing Phase II trial could also be potential customers for RenovoCath after completion of trial enrollment, anticipated for later in 2025.

We have begun to generate revenue through sales of our RenovoCath devices, and our goal is to significantly increase these revenues over time. Importantly, we believe our current commercial strategy can be accomplished without a material increase in our capital expenditures, regardless of whether we self-commercialize or choose to partner with a larger organization with an existing sales force. We are actively exploring potential commercial sales partners for RenovoCath, which will allow us to determine in the coming quarters which RenovoCath sales strategy, or combination of strategies, will be most beneficial to us.

Following our late 2024 commercial launch, we continued to generate revenues from RenovoCath sales. In the first quarter ended March 31, 2025 we generated revenue of $197,000 from RenovoCath sales and anticipate sequential quarter over quarter increases in revenue during the remainder of 2025.

However, we are at the beginning of our RenovoCath commercialization efforts and have not had to recognize revenue from our operations in the past. A primary goal from these efforts is to generate and recognize revenue from RenovoCath sales. Revenue recognition under generally accepted accounting principles requires subjective judgements to be made by our management and could otherwise be complex and create uncertainties, including uncertainties arising from varying terms of sale we may offer to different customers. We may also be required to defer recognition of revenues until certain conditions are met. See “Components of Our Results of Operations – Revenue” below for further information.

Based on our internal assumptions, we believe that our initial total U.S. addressable market based solely on the initial clinical interest we have received for RenovoCath could represent an estimated $400 million peak annual U.S. sales opportunity. Our current assumptions regarding our initial addressable market include: (i) pressure-mediated delivery catheters on the market today, which are analogous to RenovoCath, have an average selling price of $6,500-$8,500 per unit; (ii) approximately 7,000 initial target patients at peak market penetration(meaning patients with whom we have experience through our clinical work, without the potential to expand indications beyond LAPC); and (iii) an average of approximately 8 annual procedures per patient. Beyond this initial market, we believe there are expansion opportunities across other indications that could create a several billion-dollar market potential for RenovoCath over time.

Our Ongoing Pivotal Phase III Trial for IAG

In parallel to our RenovoCath commercialization efforts, we are completing enrolment in our ongoing Phase III randomized multi-center clinical trial (called TIGeR-PaC) to investigate IAG for the treatment of LAPC. This trial is being conducted under a U.S. Investigational New Drug (“IND”) application that is regulated by the FDA’s 21 CFR 312 pathway. IAG has received Orphan Drug Designation for pancreatic cancer and bile duct cancer, which provides 7 years of market exclusivity upon approval by the FDA.

Our initial interim data from the TIGeR-PaC study, announced in March 2023, showed that patients experienced a median overall survival of 16 months, compared to 10 months from the time of randomization following a 5.5 month induction phase prior to randomization, for patients receiving standard systemic chemotherapy. Moreover, we observed a 65% reduction in adverse events such as nausea and fatigue, significantly improving patient quality of life. These results strengthen our conviction that TAMP can redefine outcomes for patients facing some of the most difficult-to-treat cancers.

The current protocol and statistical analysis plan for the TIGeR-PaC trial requires 114 randomized patients, with 86 events (deaths) necessary to complete the final analysis. As of May 2, 2025, 91 patients have been randomized and 56 events have occurred, triggering the second pre-planned interim analysis per the statistical analysis plan. We expect the study’s Data Monitoring Committee to review the data in the third quarter of 2025 and look forward to their recommendation regarding the continuation of the study and their guidance on interpretation and data-sharing of the second interim analysis.

We may also evaluate RenovoCath with gemcitabine and other agents as a potential therapy in other indications.

Cash Resources, History of Losses and Planned Activities

We have incurred significant operating losses and generated negative cash flows from operations since our inception. As of March 31, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $14.6 million. We reported net losses of $2.4 million and $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively. As of March 31, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $52.6 million. We expect to continue to incur significant expenses, operating losses and negative cash flows while we seek to grow our revenues from RenovoCath commercial sales. We will not generate revenues from IAG sales unless and until we successfully complete development and obtain regulatory approval for IAG or another product candidate. Given economic and market conditions and timing of regulatory approval, we expect that our expenses will increase in connection with our ongoing commercial, research and development activities, particularly if and when we decide to:

  • Advance clinical development of IAG and our platform technology by continuing to enroll patients in our ongoing Phase III TIGeR-PaC clinical trial, expand the number of clinical trials, and advance IAG through other preclinical and clinical pipeline indication opportunities beyond LAPC;
  • Make investments we need necessary to expand our commercial sales operation for RenovoCath;
  • Hire additional research, development, sales and marketing, and selling, general and administrative personnel;
  • Pursue collaborations, licensing arrangements or other strategic or commercial activities relating to our technology;
  • Maintain, expand, enforce, defend, and protect our intellectual property portfolio; and
  • Expand our operational, financial and management systems and increase personnel, including personnel to support our clinical development, manufacturing and commercialization efforts.

17

In addition to the variables described above, if and when IAG or any of our other potential future product candidates successfully complete development and receive regulatory approval, we will incur substantial additional costs associated with establishing a sales, marketing, medical affairs and distribution infrastructure to commercialize products for which we may obtain marketing approval, regulatory filings, marketing approval, and post-marketing requirements, in addition to other commercial costs. We cannot reasonably estimate these costs at this time.

Due to our recurring operating losses and the expectation that we will continue to incur net losses in the future, we will likely be required to raise additional capital at some point to continue the commercialization of RenovoCath and complete the development of and gain regulatory approval for IAG or any other of our future potential product candidates. We have historically financed our operations primarily through private and public sales of our equity (including warrants to purchase common stock). To raise additional capital, we may seek to sell additional equity and/or debt securities, obtain a credit facility or other loan or enter into collaborations, licenses or other similar arrangements, which we may not be able to do on favorable terms, or at all.

Our ability to obtain additional financing will be subject to a number of factors, including market conditions, fluctuations in interest rates, our operating performance and investor sentiment. If we are unable to raise additional capital when required or on acceptable terms, we may have to significantly delay, scale back or discontinue the development and/or commercialization of our product candidates, restrict or cease our operations or obtain funds by entering into agreements on unfavorable terms. Failure to obtain additional capital on acceptable terms, or at all, would result in a material and adverse impact on our operations.

Our condensed interim financial statements as of March 31, 2025 have been prepared on a going concern basis and do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Based on our operating plans, we expect that our current cash and cash equivalents as of the date of this Report will be sufficient to fund our operating, investing and financing cash flow needs through the second half of 2026, assuming our commercial strategy and our development programs advance as currently contemplated.

As a result, we are faced with the risk of requiring significant additional funding to support our continuing operations. Until such time, if ever, as we can generate substantial product revenue, we expect to finance our cash needs through private or public equity financings, debt financings and collaborations, licenses or other similar arrangements. We currently have no credit facility or committed sources of capital. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the future sale of equity or debt, the ownership interests 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 common stockholders. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of debt securities, these securities could contain covenants that could restrict our operations. We may require additional capital beyond our currently anticipated amounts and additional capital may not be available on reasonable terms, or at all. If we raise additional funds through collaboration arrangements or other strategic transactions in the future, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies or future revenue streams or grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us. If we are unable to raise additional funds through private or public equity financings or debt financings when needed, we may be required to delay, limit, reduce or terminate development or future commercialization efforts, and we may be unable to continue as a going concern. If we are unable to continue as a going concern, we might have to liquidate our assets and the value we receive for our assets in liquidation or dissolution could be significantly lower than the values reflected in our condensed interim financial statements, and our shareholders may lose their entire investment in our common stock.

Components of Our Results of Operations

Revenue

In December of 2024, we began to derive revenue through the sale of our RenovoCath device on a standalone basis directly to end users (i.e., hospitals and cancer treatment centers). We consider customer purchase orders, which in some cases are governed by master sales agreements or standard terms and conditions, to be the contracts with a customer. Our contracts with customers typically contain a single performance obligation, which is the delivery of the RenovoCath device. We recognize revenue from sales of products at the point in time that the customer obtains control, which is typically based upon the terms of delivery. In determining the transaction price, we evaluate whether the price is subject to refund or adjustment to determine the net consideration to which it expects to be entitled. The only type of variable consideration we offer is limited return rights relating primarily to product damage or defects identified upon receipt, and therefore we expect minimal returns. Returns are estimated taking into consideration several factors including these limited product return rights, historical return activity, and other relevant factors. We have not experienced any commercial product returns to date, and accordingly no allowance for returns was recorded for the period ended March 31, 2025.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue consist of costs associated with the sales of RenovoCath devices and were disaggregated between the cost of devices expensed in prior periods as part of our clinical trial as research and development and the cost from our primary third-party manufacturer, Medical Murray, Inc. (the “CMO”). Prior to our commercialization strategy, all costs of manufacturing to produce the devices were allocated to our TIGeR-PaC Phase III clinical trial study in prior periods and expensed as research and development. The cost of revenue associated with the TIGeR-PaC study was recorded at zero-costs. The cost of revenue for devices not associated with the TIGeR-PaC study represents the total costs to manufacture the device based on time and materials to produce the devices including shipping and handling fees when applicable.

Operating Expenses

Research and Development

Research and development expenses consist of costs related to the research and development of our TAMP technology and our ongoing clinical trial. Clinical trial costs are a significant component of research and development expenses and include costs associated with third-party contractors and consultants. We outsource a substantial portion of our clinical trial activities, utilizing the service of third-party clinical trial sites and several clinical research vendors and consultants to assist us with the execution of our clinical trials. In addition, we have FDA 510(k) clearance for the RenovoCath delivery device, which comprises part of our IAG product candidate. Accordingly, we are able to charge our clinical trial sites for the RenovoCath delivery device. To date, payments from clinical trial sites in consideration for RenovoCath delivery devices have been adequate to cover our direct manufacturing costs. Any payments we receive from clinical trial sites as consideration for use of RenovoCath delivery devices offset our research and development expenses. We expect our research and development expenses to increase for the foreseeable future as we continue the development of our product candidates and enroll subjects in our ongoing Phase III clinical trial, initiate new clinical trials and pursue regulatory approval of our product candidates. It is difficult to predict with any certainty the duration and costs of completing our current or future clinical trials of our product candidates or if, when or to what extent we will achieve regulatory approval and generate revenue from the commercialization and sale of our product candidates. The duration, costs and timing of clinical trials and other development of our product candidates will depend on a variety of factors, including uncertainties in clinical trial enrollment, timing and extent of future clinical trials, development of new product candidates and significant and changing government regulation. We may never succeed in achieving regulatory approval for any of our product candidates.

Our research and development expenses include:

  • expenses incurred under agreements with clinical trial sites, contract research organizations, and consultants that are involved in conducting our clinical trials;
  • costs of acquiring and developing clinical trial materials;
  • personnel costs, including salaries, benefits, bonuses, and stock-based compensation for employees engaged in preclinical and clinical research and development;
  • costs related to compliance with regulatory requirements;
  • third-party vendor costs related to manufacturing materials and testing;
  • costs related to preclinical studies and pilot testing;
  • travel expenses; and
  • allocated selling, general and administrative expenses which includes facilities and other indirect administrative expenses to support research and development activities.

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Costs for certain development activities, such as clinical trials and preclinical studies, are recognized based on evaluation of progress to completion of specific tasks using data such as subject enrollment, clinical site activations or information provided to us by third party vendors.

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative expenses consist of salaries, benefits, and stock-based compensation for personnel in executive, finance, commercial and administrative functions, professional services and associated costs related to accounting, tax, audit, legal, intellectual property and other matters, consulting costs, conferences, travel and allocated expenses for rent, insurance and other general overhead costs. We expect to continue to incur additional expenses as a result of operating as a public company, including costs to comply with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, and Nasdaq listing standards and increased expenses in the areas of insurance, professional services and investor relations. As a result, we expect our selling, general and administrative expenses to increase in the foreseeable future. Selling, general and administrative expenses are expensed as incurred.

Other Income

Interest income is earned from cash deposited in our short-term marketable securities and money market account.

Change in Fair Value of Warrant Liability

Change in fair value of warrant liability represents the gain or loss reported from the change in the fair value of the common stock warrant liability for warrants issued under the registered direct offering. On April 3, 2023, we completed a registered direct offering financing issuing common shares and common stock warrants. The fair value of the common stock warrant per share was $0.48 and $0.99 on March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The decrease in the fair value was primarily due to the decrease in our stock price.

Income Tax Expense

We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial statement and income tax basis of existing assets and liabilities. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recorded net and classified as noncurrent on the balance sheets. A valuation allowance is provided against our deferred income tax assets when their realization is more likely than not.

We are subject to income taxes in the federal and state jurisdictions. Tax regulations within each jurisdiction are subject to the interpretation of the related tax laws and regulations and require significant judgment to apply. In accordance with the authoritative guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, we recognize tax liabilities for uncertain tax positions when it is more likely than not that a tax position will not be sustained upon examination and settlement with various taxing authorities. Liabilities for uncertain tax positions are measured based upon the largest amount of benefit that is more-likely-than-not (greater than 50%) of being realized upon settlement. Our policy is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense.

Revenue

We recognized approximately $197,000 of revenue from sales of RenovoCath for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to no revenue for the same period last year as we only launched initial commercial sales activity for RenovoCath during the latter part of 2024. The quarter ended March 31, 2025 marked our first full quarter of revenue generation from RenovoCath sales, following an initial recognition of approximately $43,000 of RenovoCath-related revenue in the fourth quarter of 2024. We expect to grow revenue from RenovoCath sales on a sequential quarter-by-quarter basis for the remainder of 2025.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue was approximately $94,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to no cost of revenue for the same period last year. Cost of revenue consist of costs associated with the sales of RenovoCath devices and were disaggregated between the cost of devices expensed in prior periods as part of our clinical trial as research and development and the cost from our third-party CMO. Prior to our commercialization strategy, all costs of manufacturing to produce the devices were allocated to our TIGeR-PaC clinical trial study in prior periods and expensed as research and development. The cost of revenue associated with the TIGeR-PaC study were recorded at zero-costs. The cost of revenue for devices not associated with the TIGeR-PaC study represents the total costs to manufacture the device based on time and materials to produce the devices at approximately $90,000 including shipping and handling fees of $4,000.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses were approximately $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $1.3 million for the same period last year, an increase of $0.4 million. The period-over-period increase in research and development expenses is primarily driven by an increase in employee and related benefit costs of $0.1 million primarily due to an increase in salaries due to cost-of-living allowance. Manufacturing and non-recurring engineering costs to scale manufacturing increased by $0.1 million to support the commercial effort on our RenovoCath delivery system. Clinical, oncology and interventional radiology conferences and other scientific trade shows activities increased by $0.1 million including other research and development activities of $0.1 million. We expect research and development expenses to increase during 2025 as we continue our commercialization activities for our RenovoCath device and progress our Phase III TIGeR-PaC clinical trial study for IAG.

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative expenses were approximately $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $1.2 million for the same period last year, an increase of approximately $0.4 million. The period-over-period increase in selling, general and administrative expenses is primarily driven by an increase in head count and employee and related benefit costs of $0.1 million. Professional and consulting increased by $0.2 million compared to the same period last year, primarily due to support of the commercialization strategy including other selling, general and administrative expenses of $0.1 million. We anticipate selling, general and administrative expenses to increase during 2025 as we progress with our commercialization activities for our RenovoCath device.

Other Income

Other income was approximately $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, a decrease of approximately $0.7 million compared to approximately $1.4 million for the same period last year. The decrease was primarily due to a $0.8 million in the fair value of the common warrant liability offset by an increase in interest and dividend income of $0.1 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

From our inception through March 31, 2025, we have raised an aggregate of $71.4 million, primarily from private placements of convertible preferred stock, convertible debt securities, the issuance of securities in public and private placement offerings and the exercise of common stock warrants and common stock options. After deducting underwriting discounts and commissions, placement agent fees and other offering expenses, our net proceeds from these offerings were $64.3 million. As of March 31, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $14.6 million. Based on our operational plans, we expect that our current cash and cash equivalents as of the date of this Report will be sufficient to fund our operating, investing and financing cash flow needs for at least the next twelve months, assuming our programs advance as currently contemplated, including fully funding both our RenovoCath scale-up and the continued progress of our Phase III TIGeR-PaC clinical trial.

We have incurred significant losses and negative cash flows from operations since our inception. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we recorded a net loss of $2.4 million and an accumulated deficit of $52.6 million. Depending on our commercialization efforts with RenovoCath, we do not expect to generate positive cash flows from operations until we generate sufficient revenues from RenovoCath sales, which we may be unable to achieve. We also expect to incur losses from our clinical activities until regulatory approval is granted for our first product candidate, IAG. Regulatory approval is not guaranteed and may never be obtained. We may also pursue other revenue-generating strategies such as licensing or collaboration agreements or commercializing RenovoCath on a standalone basis. No assurances can be made that we will pursue these strategies, and even if it does, there is a risk that we will be unable to generate revenue from such activities.

We believe we will be able to raise additional required capital when needed through debt financings, private or public equity financings, license agreements, collaborative agreements or other arrangements with other companies, or other sources of financing. There can be no assurance that such financing will be available when needed or will be at terms acceptable to us. The inability to raise capital as and when needed would have a negative impact on our liquidity, financial condition and its ability to pursue its business strategy. We will need to generate significant revenue from commercial sales of RenovoCath or otherwise to achieve positive cash flow or profitability, and we may never do so.

On April 3, 2023, we completed a registered direct offering (“RDO”) under our Shelf Registration Statement on Form S-3 for the purchase and sale of 1,557,632 shares of common stock (or pre-funded common warrants) at a purchase price of $3.21 per share of common stock (or pre-funded warrants) to a certain institutional investor. Additionally, in a concurrent private placement, we issued to the investor common warrants to purchase up to 1,947,040 shares of our common stock. The aggregate gross proceeds from this RDO were $5.0 million, and the net offering proceeds were $4.3 million after deducting placement agent fees and placement agent’s expenses of $0.4 million and other professional expenses of $0.3 million.

On January 26, 2024, we completed a private placement to 92 accredited investors with gross proceeds of $6.1 million. The private placement included issuing 6,133,414 shares of our common stock and common stock warrants to purchase 6,133,414 shares of common stock, which expire five years from the date of issuance. In connection with the private placement, we entered into a placement agent agreement as additional compensation to the placement agent, and issued common stock warrants to purchase 511,940 shares of common stock, which expire five years from the issuance date.

On April 11, 2024, we completed a second private placement offering, issuing common stock, pre-funded warrants, Series A warrants, and Series B warrants. The aggregate gross proceeds from this offering were $11.1 million, and the net offering proceeds were $9.6 million after deducting placement agent fees of $1.3 million and other professional expenses of $0.2 million. In conjunction with the issuance of 6,960,864 shares of common stock, we bundled the offering with: (i) a pre-funded warrant exercisable for 951,500 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.0001 per share, with an unlimited term and immediate exercisability upon issuance, subject to specific beneficial ownership limitations; (ii) Series A warrants exercisable for 7,912,364 shares of common stock at $1.22 per share, valid for 5 years and immediately exercisable subject to customary adjustments and beneficial ownership limitations; (iii) Series B warrants exercisable for 3,956,182 shares of common stock at $1.22 per share, valid for 2 years and immediately exercisable subject to customary adjustments and beneficial ownership limitations, with us retaining the right to call these warrants under certain conditions. Additionally, we issued the April 2024 PA Warrants on the same date, exercisable for 701,243 shares of common stock at $1.69 per share over a 5-year term, with provisions for cashless exercise if the shares are unregistered or no current prospectus is available for resale. The April 2024 PA Warrants become exercisable on October 11, 2024, subject to specific beneficial ownership limitations and customary adjustments.

On February 10, 2025, we closed the February 2025 Offering and received gross proceeds of approximately $12.1 million. The net proceeds were $10.8 million after deducting underwriting fees of $0.8 million and other professional expenses of $0.5 million. In connection with the offering, we issued an aggregate 11,523,810 shares of common stock and underwriter warrants to purchase 576,191 shares of common stock at $1.21 per share over a 5-year term.

Our ability to obtain additional financing we may need in the future will be subject to a number of factors, including market conditions, fluctuations in interest rates, our operating performance and investor sentiment. However, there can be no assurances that such financing will be available or will be at terms acceptable to us, or at all. If we are unable to raise capital when needed or on attractive terms, we would be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate our clinical trials, discontinue the development and/or commercialization of our product candidates, restrict or cease our operations or obtain funds by entering into agreements on unfavorable terms. If any of these events occur, our ability to achieve our operational goals would be adversely affected. Our future capital requirements and the adequacy of available funds will depend on many factors, including those described in the section titled “Risk Factors” in our 2024 Annual Report. Depending on the severity and direct impact of these factors on us, we may be unable to secure additional financing to meet our operating requirements on commercially acceptable terms favorable to us, or at all.

Sources of Liquidity

Since our inception, we have been primarily a clinical stage company on our clinical development stage lead product candidate, novel drug-device combination product consists of IAG via RenovoCath for the treatment of LAPC. In 2024, we made the decision to launch an effort to commercialize our RenovoCath device as a standalone product within its FDA-cleared fields of use and upon our initial commercialization launch of RenovoCath, we started to generate revenue in the fourth quarter of 2024. We anticipate continuing to generate revenue from RenovoCath sales in 2025 with anticipated sequential quarter over quarter increases in revenue during the year, which would support our liquidity. However, we have incurred significant operating losses and negative cash flows from operations and we anticipate that we will continue to incur net losses until our RenovoCath commercial efforts generates meaningful revenues, of which no assurances can be given.

Cash Flows

Our primary uses of cash are to fund our operations, including research and development and selling, general and administrative expenses. We will continue to incur operating losses in the future and expect that our research and development and selling, general and administrative expenses will continue to increase as we continue our research and development efforts with respect to clinical development of our product candidates, further develop our therapy platform and ensure that we are complying with the requirements of being a public company. The cash used to fund operating expenses is impacted by the timing of when we pay expenses, as reflected in the change in our outstanding accounts payable and accrued expenses.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

The accompanying management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our unaudited condensed interim financial statements and the related disclosures, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these unaudited condensed interim financial statements requires us to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amounts in our unaudited condensed interim financial statements and accompanying notes. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, our future financial statement presentation, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows will be affected. Our critical accounting policies and estimates are detailed in our 2024 Annual Report.

There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies or significant judgments and estimates for the three months ended March 31, 2025, from those previously disclosed in our 2024 Annual Report.

Convertible Instruments and Embedded Derivatives

We evaluate all of our agreements to determine whether such instruments have derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. We account for certain redemption features that are associated with the terms of convertible notes as liabilities at fair value and adjust the instruments to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in other income (expenses), net in the statements of operations. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheets as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

April 2023 Warrants

We evaluate pre-funded warrants and April 2023 Warrant issued in connection with registered direct financing in April 2023 to determine whether such warrants qualify for equity classification, or meet the definition of a derivative instrument, classified as a liability on the condensed balance sheets and measured at fair value at inception and at each reporting date with changes in fair value recognized in the condensed statements of operations in the period of change.

Direct Offering Costs

Direct offering costs consist principally of commissions, placement fees and legal fees, including other professional expenses incurred. We evaluate the terms under the financing agreement to determine the classification of direct costs in the accompanying condensed statements of operations.

Emerging Growth Company and Smaller Reporting Company Status

We are an “emerging growth company” as defined in the JOBS Act. Under the JOBS Act, companies have extended transition periods available for complying with new or revised accounting standards. We have elected this exemption to delay adopting new or revised accounting standards. We will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of (1) December 31, 2026, (2) the last day of the fiscal year in which we have total annual gross revenues of at least $1.235 billion, (3) the date on which we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, or (4) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period. An emerging growth company may take advantage of specified reduced reporting requirements and is relieved of certain other significant requirements that are otherwise generally applicable to public companies. As an emerging growth company,

  • we may present only two years of audited financial statements, plus unaudited interim condensed financial statements for any interim period, and related Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations;
  • we may avail ourselves of the exemption from the requirement to obtain an attestation and report from our auditors on the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act;
  • we may provide reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements; and
  • we do not require stockholder non-binding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements.

24

We have elected to take advantage of certain of the reduced disclosure obligations in this Report on Form 10-Q and may elect to take advantage of other reduced reporting requirements in future filings. As a result, the information that we provide to our stockholders may be different than what you might receive from other public reporting companies in which you hold equity interests.

We are also a “smaller reporting company,” meaning that the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates plus the proposed aggregate amount of gross proceeds to us is less than $700.0 million and our annual revenue is less than $100.0 million during the most recently completed fiscal year. We may continue to be a smaller reporting company if either (1) the market value of our stock held by nonaffiliates is less than $250.0 million or (2) our annual revenue is less than $100.0 million during the most recently completed fiscal year and the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700.0 million. If we are a smaller reporting company at the time we cease to be an emerging growth company, we may continue to rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements that are available to smaller reporting companies. Specifically, as a smaller reporting company we may choose to present only the two most recent fiscal years of audited financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and, like emerging growth companies, smaller reporting companies have reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation.

Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

There were no new accounting pronouncements that were issued or became effective since the issuance of our 2024 Annual Report that had, or are expected to have, a material impact on our unaudited condensed balance sheets, unaudited condensed statement of operations or unaudited condensed statement of cash flows.

The disclosures in this Item are not required because we qualify as a smaller reporting company under federal securities laws.

Controls and procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2025. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer have concluded that, during the period covered by this Report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to our previously identified material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting. As a result, we have performed additional analysis as deemed necessary to ensure that our financial statements were prepared in accordance with GAAP. Accordingly, notwithstanding the identified material weaknesses, management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer, believes the condensed interim financial statements included in this Report are fairly presented, in all material respects, in accordance with GAAP.

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated, communicated and discussed with our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance the desired control objectives will be met. In reaching a reasonable level of assurance, management has weighed the cost of contemplated controls against their intended benefits. The design of any system of controls is based on management’s assumptions about the likelihood of future events. We cannot assure you that our controls will achieve their stated goals under all possible conditions. Changes in future conditions may render our controls inadequate or may cause our degree of compliance with them to deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

Previously Identified Material Weakness

As previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, our management identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting related to our control environment. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected and corrected on a timely basis.

Specifically, we have determined that we have not maintained adequate formal accounting policies, processes and controls related to complex transactions as a result of a lack of finance and accounting staff with the appropriate GAAP technical expertise needed to identify, evaluate and account for complex and non-routine transactions. We have also determined that we have not maintained sufficient staffing or written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting, which contributed to the lack of a formalized process or controls for management’s timely review and approval of financial information. More specifically, we have determined that our financial statement close process includes significant control gaps mainly driven by the small size of our accounting and finance staff and, as a result, a significant lack of appropriate segregation of duties. This includes the ability of users to create and post journal entries without adequate compensating review controls as well as review of system rights on the journal entry and financial close process. In addition, we did not have proper information technology general controls related to user access, including the performance of user access reviews, access to edit data in applications was not properly restricted, and formal approval of application access was not documented and retained.

The previously identified material weakness has not been remediated but we are in the process of implementing a number of measures to address the material weaknesses that has been identified including: (i) engaging additional accounting and financial reporting personnel with GAAP and SEC reporting experience, (ii) developing, communicating and implementing an accounting policy manual for our accounting and financial reporting personnel for recurring transactions and period-end closing processes, and (iii) establishing effective monitoring and oversight controls for non-recurring and complex transactions to ensure the accuracy and completeness of our financial statements and related disclosures.

These additional resources and procedures are designed to enable us to broaden the scope and quality of our internal review of underlying information related to financial reporting and to formalize and enhance our internal control procedures. With the oversight of senior management and our Audit Committee, we have begun taking steps and plan to take additional measures to remediate the underlying causes of the material weaknesses.

We intend to complete the implementation of our remediation plan when we have sufficient cash to remediate our material weaknesses. Although we believe that our remediation plan will improve our internal control over financial reporting, additional time may be required to fully implement it and to make conclusions regarding the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Our management will closely monitor and modify, as appropriate, the remediation plan to eliminate the identified material weaknesses.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Except for the material weaknesses noted above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting since we filed our 2024 Annual Report.

Risk factors

As filed, 7,180 characters, with its headings, lists and tables. Extracted from the main document; charts and exhibits are in the original on sec.gov.

An investment in our securities is speculative and involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risk factors below, as well as the other information in this Report, including our unaudited interim condensed financial statements and the related notes and the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and in our other public filings in evaluating our business, including those risk factors included in our 2024 Annual Report. The occurrence of any of the events or developments described in our 2024 Annual Report, or summarized below or described elsewhere in this Report could harm our business, financial condition, results of operations, growth prospects or stock price. In such an event, the market price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business operations and the market price of our common stock.

Risk Factors Summary

The following is a summary of principal factors and uncertainties that make investing in shares of our common stock risky and impact our ability to execute on our business strategy include risks regarding the following. This summary is not exhaustive, and readers are therefore encouraged to review the “Risk Factors” section and the “Risk Factors” section in our 2024 Annual Report in their entirety:

  • We have no drug/device combination products approved for commercial sale, only limited experience as a company in the commercialization of standalone medical devices, and no operating history as a revenue generating company. These factors make it difficult to evaluate our current business and predict our future success and viability.
  • We have incurred significant net losses in each period since inception, and we expect to continue to incur net losses until we receive FDA approval for our product candidate or until our commercial strategy for RenovoCath generates sufficient revenues.
  • We are executing on a commercial strategy for selling our RenovoCath device on a standalone basis, which is a new activity for our company and subject to significant inherent risks.
  • Our estimates of total addressable market, potential revenues and similar metrics related to our commercialization efforts for RenovoCath may prove inaccurate, particularly given that our commercialization efforts are relatively new and are evolving.
  • Revenue recognition from our RenovoCath commercialization activities could be complex and uncertain. We may also be required to defer recognition of revenues under policies which we develop. Our inability to properly recognize revenue could have a material adverse effect on our estimates of our future revenue performance and on our actual financial results.
  • Our revenues and results of operations may be difficult to predict and may fluctuate from quarter to quarter, which could adversely affect our business and the market price of our common stock.
  • If the manufacturers upon whom we rely fail to produce RenovoCath or product candidates in the volumes that we require on a timely basis or fail to comply with stringent regulations applicable to life science manufacturers, we may face delays in the development and commercialization of RenovoCath and our product candidates.
  • We will likely need to raise substantial additional capital to both develop and commercialize IAG (assuming FDA approval) and to separately engage in sales and marketing activities for RenovoCath as a standalone device. Our failure to obtain funding when needed (even following this offering) may force us to delay, reduce or eliminate our product development programs, commercial efforts or collaboration efforts. Moreover, if we do not obtain adequate and timely funding, we may not be able to continue as a going concern.
  • We may consider strategic alternatives in order to maximize stockholder value, including financing, strategic alliances, and licensing arrangements. We may not be able to identify or consummate any suitable strategic alternatives and any consummated strategic alternatives may not be successful.

  • Our product candidates’ commercial viability remains subject to current and future preclinical studies, clinical trials (notably our Phase III TIGeR-PaC study), regulatory approvals, and the risks generally inherent in the development of a pharmaceutical product candidate. If we are unable to successfully advance or develop our product candidates, our business will be materially harmed.
  • As our ongoing Phase III TIGeR-PaC trial is evaluating our most advanced drug-device combination product candidate to date, the failure of the trial to achieve results conducive to progressing the trial or filing and receiving NDA approval could cause our company significant harm.
  • If we do not achieve our projected development goals in the timeframes we announce and expect, our stock price may decline.
  • Our product candidates may exhibit undesirable side effects when used alone or in combination with other approved pharmaceutical products or investigational new drugs, which may delay or preclude further development or regulatory approval or limit their use if approved.
  • If the results of preclinical studies or clinical trials for our product candidates are negative, we could be delayed or precluded from the further development or commercialization of our product candidates, which could materially harm our business.
  • If we are unable to satisfy regulatory requirements, we may not be able to commercialize our product candidates.
  • If our product candidates are unable to compete effectively with marketed drugs targeting similar indications as our product candidates, our commercial opportunity will be reduced or eliminated.
  • We may delay or terminate the development of our product candidates at any time if we believe the perceived market or commercial opportunity does not justify further investment, which could materially harm our business.
  • Our future success depends on our ability to retain our key personnel and to attract, retain, and motivate qualified personnel, especially in light of an acute workforce shortage and hyper-competitive compensation environment.
  • If we are unable to protect our intellectual property effectively, we may be unable to prevent third parties from using our technologies, which would impair our competitive advantage.
  • The patents issued to us may not be broad enough to provide any meaningful protection, one or more of our competitors may develop more effective technologies, designs, or methods without infringing our intellectual property rights and one or more of our competitors may design around our proprietary technologies.
  • The market price of our common stock may be volatile and fluctuate substantially, which could result in substantial losses for our investors.
  • If we fail to maintain compliance with or meet all applicable Nasdaq requirements, we could be delisted from Nasdaq, which would seriously harm the liquidity of our stock and our ability to raise capital.
