Next Generation Chemotherapy
Current report
In order for NGC-Cap to provide a safer and more efficacious profile for cancer patients compared to existing chemotherapy, understanding how the different regimens of PCS6422 and capecitabine may affect the systemic and tumor exposure to the anabolites, as well as the systemic exposure to the catabolites, is required. This can be achieved by following the timeline of DPD irreversible inhibition and the formation of new DPD using the plasma concentrations of 5-FU and its catabolites.
Current report
In an effort to better estimate the timeline of DPD inhibition and formation of new DPD, we modified the protocol for the Phase 1B trial and began enrolling patients in the amended Phase 1B trial in April 2022. On November 1, 2022, we announced that data from the Phase 1B trial identified multiple dosage regimens with potentially better safety and efficacy profiles than currently existing chemotherapy regimens. Since 5-FU exposure is dependent on both the PCS6422 regimen and the capecitabine regimen, safe regimens were identified as well as regimens that cause dose-limiting toxicities (“DLTs”). One of the early regimens in the Phase 1B trial did cause DLTs in two patients, one of whom died. No other DLTs were noted in the study. The Phase 1B trial has now completed enrollment and we are currently conducting trial close-out activities. We submitted a new IND for the treatment of advanced and metastatic breast cancer and received IND clearance from the FDA on July 24, 2024. The Phase 2 trial is currently being initiated and will be a global multicenter, open-label, adaptive design trial comparing two different doses of NGC-Cap to FDA-approved monotherapy capecitabine in approximately 60 to 90 patients with advanced or metastatic breast cancer. The trial is designed to evaluate the safety-efficacy profile of NGC-Cap versus monotherapy capecitabine, to determine the potential optimal dosage regimens of NGC-Cap as required by the FDA Project Optimus Initiative. Our license agreement with Elion for NGC-Cap requires us to use commercially reasonable efforts, at our sole cost and expense, to research, develop and commercialize products in one or more countries, including meeting specific diligence milestones that include dosing a first patient with a product in a Phase 2 or 3 clinical trial on or before October 2, 2024. We expect the first patient to be dosed before the conclusion of the third quarter of 2024, ahead of the required diligence milestone.

Current report
Costs for the three- and six-month periods for the periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were as follows:
Current report
During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we had increases in testing and related expenses of approximately $132,000, and in salaries and related costs of approximately $61,000, when compared to the same period in 2023. These increases were offset by decreases in professional fees of approximately $133,000 and in stock-based compensation of approximately $133,000. The reasons for the changes between the six-month periods in 2024 and 2023 are the same as the reasons between the three-month periods in 2024 and 2023.
Current report
Our general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2024 increased by approximately $325,000 to $1.4 million from $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. This increase was due primarily as a result of an approximately $308,000 increase in professional fees, mostly attributable to an increase of legal fees; an approximately $115,000 increase in salaries and other payroll-related costs from increased salary rates, primarily paid to our executive officers; and a net increase of approximately $17,000 in travel, office and other miscellaneous expenses. These increases were offset by a decrease in employee stock-based compensation of approximately $123,000. We also received approximately $8,000 less in reimbursements from CorLyst during the three months ended June 30, 2024 when compared to the same period in 2023.

We are a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on utilizing our “regulatory science” approach, including the principles associated with FDA’s Project Optimus Oncology initiative and the related FDA Draft Guidance, in the development of Next Generation Chemotherapy (“NGC”) oncology drug products. Our mission is to provide better treatment options than those that presently exist by extending a patient’s survival and/or improving a patient’s quality of life. This is achieved by improving upon FDA-approved, widely used oncology drugs or the cancer-killing metabolites of these drugs by altering how they are metabolized and/or distributed in the body, including how they are distributed to the actual cancer cells.

Our regulatory science approach was conceived in the early 1990s when the founders of Processa and other faculty at the University of Maryland worked with the FDA to develop multiple FDA Guidances. Regulatory science is the science of developing new tools, standards, and approaches to assess the safety, efficacy, quality, and performance of all FDA-regulated products. Over the last 30 years, two of our founders, Dr. David Young and Dr. Sian Bigora, have expanded the original regulatory science concept by including the pre-clinical and clinical studies to justify the benefit-risk assessment required for FDA approval when designing the development programs of new drug products.

Our strategic prioritization is to advance our pipeline of NGC proprietary small molecule oncology drugs. The NGC products are new chemical entities, but they work by changing the metabolism, distribution and/or elimination of already FDA-approved cancer drugs or their active metabolites while maintaining the mechanism of how the drug kills cancer cells. We believe our NGC treatments will provide improved safety-efficacy profiles when compared to their currently marketed counterparts – capecitabine, gemcitabine, and irinotecan. All future studies of these drugs are subject to availability of capital to conduct the trials.

Previous wording
Historically, much of oncology drug development has searched for novel or different ways to treat cancer. Our approach is to take three current FDA-approved cancer drugs, e.g. capecitabine, gemcitabine and irinotecan, and modify and improve how the human body metabolizes and/or distributes these NGC treatments compared to their presently approved counterpart chemotherapy drugs while maintaining the cancer-killing mechanism of action; thus, our reason for calling our drugs Next Generation Chemotherapy (or NGC) treatments. Part of the development includes determining the optimal dosage regimen based on the dose-response relationship as described in the FDA’s Project Optimus Initiative and Draft Optimal Dosage Regimen Oncology Guidance. To date, we have data that we believe suggests our NGC treatments are likely to have a better safety-efficacy profile than the current widely used marketed counterpart drugs, not only potentially making the development and approval process more efficient, but also clearly differentiating our NGC treatments from the existing treatment. We believe our NGC treatments have the potential to extend the survival and/or quality of life for more patients diagnosed with cancer while decreasing the number of patients who are required to dose-adjust or discontinue treatment because of side effects or lack of response.

In 2023, we completed our Phase 2A trial for PCS12852 in gastroparesis patients with positive results. Additionally, in February 2023, due primarily to the inability to identify and enroll patients in our rare disease Phase 2 trial for PCS499 in ulcerative Necrobiosis Lipoidica (uNL), we decided to cease further enrollment in the PCS499 trial and terminated the trial. We did not experience any safety concerns during the conduct of either the PCS12852 or PCS499 trial. We continue to evaluate options to monetize these non-core drug assets, which may include out-licensing or partnering these assets with one or more third parties.

Current wording
Comparison of the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023
Previous wording
The decrease in research and development expenses was primarily due to a decrease in preclinical, clinical trial and other costs during the three months ended March 31, 2024 when compared to the same period in 2023. This decrease was attributable to having only one open clinical trial for NGC-Cap in 2024. During the same period in 2023, in addition to clinical trial costs for NGC-Cap, we also were incurring closing costs in our clinical trial for PCS12852 and PCS499.
Current wording
During the three months ended June 30, 2024, our preclinical, clinical trial and other costs increased when compared to the same period in 2023. This was attributable to an increase of approximately $146,000 for ongoing testing and related expenses related to our Phase 1B trial for NGC-Cap and the IND/initiation of our Phase 2 trial for NGC-Cap and offset by a decrease in professional fees of approximately $70,000, mostly attributable to a decrease in patent-related legal fees. During the same period in 2023, in addition to clinical trial costs for NGC-Cap, we were incurring closing costs in our clinical trial for PCS12852 and PCS499. We also had an approximately $23,000 increase in salaries and related costs during the three months ended June 30, 2024 when compared to the same period in 2023 due to one-time bonuses and increased salary rates for the research and development team in 2024. This was offset by a decrease in stock-based compensation of approximately $57,000 as we waited for shareholder approval to increase the number of shares available under the 2019 Plan.
Previous wording
As we continue our Phase 1B clinical trial for NGC-Cap and begin our Phase 2 trial for NGC-Cap, we anticipate our research and development costs will increase. We will also continue incurring nominal costs for NGC-Gem as we prepare to meet with the FDA to discuss potential study designs and for NGC-Iri should we decide to conduct IND-enabling and toxicology studies.

Our general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2024 decreased by $1,207,527 to $1,270,528 from $2,478,055 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. This decrease was due primarily as a result of a non-recurring expense that was incurred during 2023 in connection with the stock purchase warrant granted to Spartan, which had a fair value of $1,310,875, under the amended consulting agreement (see Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements); and a decrease in employee stock-based compensation of $132,000 since our 2024 stock grant is contingent on receiving shareholder approval to increase the number of shares available for issuance under our Incentive Plan. The decreases were offset by an increase in professional fees by $48,000; a net $19,000 increase in various office expenses; and $162,000 increase in salaries and other payroll-related costs from increased salary rates, primarily paid to our executive officers. We also received $7,000 less in reimbursements from CorLyst during the three months ended March 31, 2024 when compared to the same period in 2023.
Current wording
During the six months ended June 30, 2024, our general and administrative expenses decreased by approximately $855,000 to $2.6 million from $3.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. This was due primarily to a decrease in professional fees of approximately $955,000 as a result of the non-recurring expense that was incurred during 2023 in connection with the stock purchase warrant granted to the placement agent for our registered direct offering in February 2023; and a decrease in employee stock-based compensation of approximately $247,000 as we waited for shareholder approval to increase the number of shares available under the 2019 Plan. These decreases were primarily offset by increases in salaries and other payroll-related expenses of approximately $296,000 and in office and other related expenses of approximately $37,000. We also received approximately $14,000 less in reimbursements from CorLyst during the six months ended June 30, 2024 when compared to the same period in 2023.

We used net cash in our operating activities of $2,048,884 and $2,144,070 during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The decrease in cash used in operating activities during the first quarter of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 of $65,184 was primarily related to decreased operating costs in the first quarter of 2024.
Current wording
We used net cash in our operating activities of $5,394,713 and $4,178,539 during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase in cash used in operating activities was primarily attributable to the prepayment of expenses paid to our CRO for our Phase 2 trial for NGC-Cap during the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Previous wording
As we continue our development of NGC-Cap and evaluate the other NGC drugs in our portfolio, we anticipate our research and development efforts and ongoing general and administrative costs will continue to generate negative cash flows from operating activities for the foreseeable future. As we begin our Phase 2 clinical trial for NGC-Cap in 2024, we anticipate our clinical trial costs will increase when compared to prior periods since our current activities are related primarily to the completion of our Phase 1b trial for NGC-Cap.

At March 31, 2024 we had cash and cash equivalents totaling $8.9 million which, based on our current business plans, we believe will satisfy our capital needs into early 2025. However, absent additional funding, our current cash and cash equivalents will not be sufficient to fund our planned operations for a period of one year or more after the date that these condensed consolidated financial statements were available to be issued based on the timing and amount of our projected net loss from continuing operations and the related amount of cash to be used in operating activities during that period of time. Our ability to execute our longer-term operating plans, including future preclinical studies and clinical trials for our portfolio of drugs depend on our ability to obtain additional funding from the sale of equity and/or debt securities, a strategic transaction or other funding transactions.
