Current report
In July 2025, we completed a reduction in force by approximately 51% of our workforce as part of a broader effort to right size the organization to focus on clinical execution of CNTY-101 in autoimmune diseases and the acceleration of our leading pre-clinical programs with CNTY-308 and our non-immune cell programs.
Current report
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we made payments of $0.1 million and $2.8 million and incurred research and development expenses of $2.6 million and $5.3 million and legal fees of $38 thousand and $73 thousand, recorded within general and administrative expenses in its consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Current report
General and administrative expenses were $16.2 million and $17.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The decrease was a result of a decrease in legal fees associated with the Clade acquisition in 2024 and a decrease in stock-based compensation, offset by increased contingent liability consideration and the consolidation of lab operations and subsequent reallocation of rent expense to general and administrative expenses.

Our lead product candidate, CNTY-101, is a CAR-iNK cell therapy with six precision gene edits currently being tested in a Phase 1 clinical trial for patients with B-cell mediated autoimmune diseases. In March 2025, we announced that we have discontinued CNTY-101 evaluation in a Phase 1 clinical trial for patients with lymphoma for strategic reasons. While we remain encouraged by tolerability and clinical activity of CNTY-101 in late-stage R/R NHL, emerging data from ELiPSE-1 did not meet our threshold to be considered transformational in this patient population.

Previous wording
In March 2025, we also announced a re-prioritized pre-clinical pipeline intended to further leverage the unique capabilities and technologies we have towards transformative treatments holding strong commercial potential to treat serious diseases with high unmet need. Accordingly, in addition to our clinical stage programs, we will be focusing on three core pre-clinical programs built on our industry leading iT cell platform. We believe these programs have significant potential for differentiation in their respective categories.

We anticipate that we will need to raise additional financing in the future to fund our operations, including funding for preclinical studies, clinical trials and the commercialization of any approved product candidates. We intend to use the proceeds from such financings to, among other uses, fund research and development of our product candidates and development programs, including our preclinical and clinical development of CNTY-101, and our other product candidates. Until such time, if ever, as we can generate significant product revenue, we expect to finance our operations with our existing cash and cash equivalents, investments, any future equity or debt financings, and upfront and milestone and royalty payments, if any, received under future licenses or collaborations. We may not be able to raise additional capital on terms acceptable to us or at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital when desired, our business, results of operations, and financial condition would be adversely affected. Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with product development, we are unable to predict the timing or amount of increased expenses or when or if we will be able to achieve or maintain profitability.
