Current report
The Company was granted a meeting in late June 2024 with the Dermatology Division of the FDA, which the we subsequently cancelled (with acknowledgement from the FDA), as we believed it required input from the FDA’s Division of Oncology. Additionally, the FDA required further understanding of the right of use to the HP2001 study to further discuss some of the Pre-IND questions. The FDA has agreed to consult the Division of Oncology as necessary and we believe we have provided sufficient information around the right of use to proceed with our Pre-IND.
Current report
Further, we have engaged Avior Bio, Inc. (“Avior”), which is currently creating a novel formulation of itraconazole from which results are expected in the next several months. Avior is a privately held drug development company whose President and Chairman of the Board, Niraj Vasisht, is a member of the Company’s Board of Directors. Upon finalization of the formulation, Avior will conduct a pharmacokinetic (PK) crossover study to the generic formulation and the formulation that was used within the HP2001 study in preparation for a new IND and NDA. Given all formulations consist of the same active pharmaceutical ingredients (API), it is expected that the Company’s new, novel formulation will have extremely similar properties to the formulation used in the HP2001 clinical study.

Previous wording
During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we formally requested a Type-B, pre-investigational new drug application (“pre-IND”) meeting with the FDA to obtain feedback on the overall drug development and regulatory plan to use itraconazole for the treatment of BCC tumors in BCCNS patients, for which we have engaged the services of external experts in the field to assist with the process. Our Phase 2b clinical study (HP2001) uses a novel formulation of itraconazole, which we reference in our pre-IND submission. We were granted a meeting with the Dermatology Division of the FDA, which we subsequently cancelled (with acknowledgment from the FDA), as we believe the pre-IND meeting is more ideally suited for the Oncology Division of the FDA. As such, we are currently pursuing an in-person meeting with the Oncology Division of the FDA.

Research and Development Expenses. We incurred $0.2 million of research and development expenses during each of the three months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023. The expenses are primarily internal personnel costs, consisting of salaries, benefits and other related costs, as well as amounts paid to third parties to support our research and development activities and remained consistent quarter-over-quarter. We expect research and development expenses to increase in the future, depending on the results from our upcoming FDA meeting.

Research and Development Expenses. We incurred $0.3 million of research and development expenses during each of the three months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023.

*General and Administrative Expenses.*We incurred approximately $0.3 million and $0.5 million in general and administrative expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, general and administrative expenses were composed primarily of compensation costs of $0.2 million and insurance costs of $0.1 million. The decrease in general and administrative expenses of approximately $0.2 million is primarily due to reductions in the fees incurred for professional services.

Research and Development Expenses. We incurred $0.5 million and $0.4 million of research and development expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively. The expenses are primarily internal personnel costs, consisting of salaries, benefits and other related costs, as well as amounts paid to third parties to support our research and development activities and remained consistent with the prior year-to-date period. The increase in research and development expenses is the result of the necessary costs to support the incremental R&D activity during the current year. We expect research and development expenses will continue to increase in the future, depending on the results from our upcoming FDA meeting.

We are presently focused on our business plan of developing and ultimately commercializing innovative therapeutics based on already approved active pharmaceuticals that have patent-protected methods of use and/or methods of delivery. We expect to progress with the FDA during 2024 to reach a conclusion on whether any additional clinical trials are required before submitting our New Drug Application (NDA). Our current cash on hand, approximately $7.1 million as of June 30, 2024, is sufficient to continue to execute our business plan as currently anticipated, assuming we get favorable guidance from the FDA such that we do not require additional clinical trials. Based on our current operational plan and budget, we expect that we will have sufficient cash to manage our business and continue to pursue other drug development opportunities, as needed. As capital requirements for additional opportunities are determined, or additional clinical trials, we will consider raising additional capital in the public market.

As capital requirements for additional opportunities are determined, or additional clinical trials, we will consider raising additional capital in the public market, if necessary and on commercially reasonable terms.
