Previous wording

Our detalimogene program is currently enrolling patients in a combined Phase 1/2 open-label study with a pivotal cohort, referred to as “LEGEND”. The Phase 2 portion of LEGEND is enrolling three cohorts: cohort 1 is a pivotal cohort enrolling BCG-unresponsive NMIBC patients with CIS; cohort 2 is enrolling BCG-naïve NMIBC patients with CIS (cohort 2a) and BCG-exposed NMIBC patients with CIS (cohort 2b); and cohort 3 is enrolling patients with BCG-unresponsive NMIBC who have papillary disease only (i.e., no CIS). In addition, our preclinical research is focused on expanding the cancer indications that can be treated with detalimogene as well as discovering new opportunities to apply our DDX technology platform to treat other indications with high unmet medical needs.

Current wording

Detalimogene is being evaluated in the ongoing combined Phase 1/2 open-label, multi-cohort study, referred to as “LEGEND”. LEGEND’s Phase 2 pivotal cohort (cohort 1) consists of approximately 100 patients with BCG-unresponsive NMIBC with CIS (with or without papillary disease) and is designed to serve as the basis of our planned biologics license application, if the data are positive. In addition to this pivotal cohort, LEGEND includes three additional cohorts, cohort 2a for patients with BCG-naïve NMIBC with CIS, cohort 2b for patients with BCG-exposed NMIBC patients with CIS; and cohort 3 for patients with BCG-unresponsive NMIBC who have papillary-only disease (i.e., no CIS). In addition, our preclinical research is focused on expanding the cancer indications that can be treated with detalimogene as well as discovering new opportunities to apply our DDX technology platform to treat other indications with high unmet medical needs.

Previous wording

Since our inception, we have devoted substantially all of our efforts to organizing and staffing our Company, business planning, raising capital, establishing our intellectual property portfolio, acquiring or discovering product candidates, research and development activities for our primary program, detalimogene voraplasmid, or detalimogene. We do not have any products approved for sale and have not generated any revenue from product sales. We operate as a single operating segment focused on research, discovery, and clinical development of detalimogene. To date, the Company has not generated any revenues and has financed its liquidity needs primarily through PIPE financings, offering debt, and issuance of warrants.

Previous wording

We have never been profitable and have incurred net losses since inception. Our net loss was $25.8 million and $50.4 million for the three and six months ended April 30, 2025 and $15.0 million and $25.7 million for the three and six months ended April 30, 2024, respectively. We expect to continue to incur significant expenses and increasing operating losses for the foreseeable future as we advance the ongoing LEGEND study of detalimogene, including the pivotal cohort of patients with BCG-unresponsive NMIBC, to completion; execute on our plan to file a Biologics License Application with the FDA in mid-2026; and pursue potential pipeline expansion via additional detalimogene development opportunities and other compounds. In addition, we expect to incur significant expenses as we establish medical affairs, sales, marketing and distribution infrastructure and capabilities to support the potential commercial launch of detalimogene and significant additional commercialization-related expenses, if and when detalimogene is approved. As a result, we expect to need substantial additional funding to support our continuing operations and pursue our growth strategy. Until such time as we can generate significant revenue from product sales, if ever, we expect to finance our operations through a combination of public or private equity offerings and debt financings, or other capital sources, which could include potential collaboration agreements, strategic alliances, or licensing arrangements. We may be unable to raise additional funds or enter into such other arrangements when needed on favorable terms or at all. Our failure to raise capital or enter into other arrangements as and when needed would have a negative impact on our financial condition and our ability to develop our product candidates.

Current wording

Our net loss was $29.0 million and $79.4 million for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2025 and $14.1 million and $39.8 million for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2024, respectively. We expect to continue to incur significant expenses and increasing operating losses for the foreseeable future as we advance the ongoing LEGEND study of detalimogene, including the pivotal cohort of patients with BCG-unresponsive NMIBC, to completion; execute on our plan to file a Biologics License Application with the FDA in 2H 2026; and pursue potential pipeline expansion via additional detalimogene development opportunities and other compounds.

Previous wording

As of April 30, 2025, we had $251.5 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents as of April 30, 2025 will be sufficient to fund our operating expenses, debt obligations, and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months from the issuance date of the condensed consolidated financial statements included within this Quarterly Report. While we have historically been successful in securing financing, raising additional funds is dependent on a number of factors outside of our control, and as such there is no assurance that we will be able to do so in the future.
