Current report

On May 1, 2025, we announced the achievement of a third milestone from preclinical studies of BP1001-A that provide additional support for its potential as a treatment for obesity. These studies showed BP1001-A rescues the decrease in AKT activity in liver cells and prevents cells from becoming insulin resistant, confirming its potential as a treatment for obesity and related metabolic diseases in Type 2 diabetes patients. Preliminary results indicated HepG2 cells with BP1001-A restored insulin signaling in HepG2 cells treated with palmitic acid. This data showed that BP1001-A could potentially help skeletal and liver cells from becoming insulin resistant and BP1001-A is a potential treatment for obese patients who have Type 2 diabetes.

On June 3, 2024, we announced additional interim data for the first two cohorts of the Phase 2 clinical trial. In Cohort 1, 31 newly diagnosed patients were enrolled; 20 evaluable patients with a median age of 75 years, treated with at least one cycle of prexigebersen, decitabine and venetoclax, had adverse-risk or secondary AML evolved from myelodysplastic syndromes, chronic myelomonocytic leukemia or treatment-related AML. Fifteen patients (75%) achieved complete remission (“CR”), CR with partial recovery of peripheral blood counts (“CRh”), or CR with incomplete hematologic recovery (“CRi”). One patient achieved partial remission (“PR”), three patients achieved stable disease, and one patient had toxicity attributed to decitabine and venetoclax treatment. In Cohort 2, 40 relapsed/refractory patients were enrolled; 23 evaluable patients with a median age of 63 years, treated with at least one cycle of prexigebersen, decitabine and venetoclax, had adverse-risk or secondary AML. Twelve patients (55%) achieved CR/CRi/ CRh, one patient achieved PR, eight patients achieved stable disease and two patients had progressive disease or treatment failure. Among the evaluable patients of both cohorts, adverse events were consistent with those expected with decitabine and venetoclax and/or AML, including fatigue (72%), anemia (60%) and neutropenia (49%), while the most frequent severe adverse events were febrile neutropenia (26%) and sepsis (5%). The interim analysis data was selected as an oral presentation in the 2024 American Society of Clinical Oncology (“ASCO”) Annual Meeting and as a poster presentation in the 2024 European Hematology Association (“EHA”) Annual Meeting. Based on this interim data, we expect to continue enrollment of up to 98 and 54 evaluable patients for Cohorts 1 and 2, respectively and plan to pursue FDA expedited programs for Fast Track designation. We are evaluating whether to seek to expand Stage 2 of the Phase 2 clinical trial in Europe. We expect to complete enrollment in cohorts 1 and 2 in 2026.

Previous wording

Additionally, preclinical studies suggest that the combination of BP1002 with decitabine is efficacious in venetoclax-resistant cells. An abstract of the preclinical study was presented at the 2021 American Association for Cancer Research (“AACR”) Annual Meeting. A Phase 1/1b clinical trial to investigate the ability of BP1002 to treat refractory/relapsed AML patients, including venetoclax-resistant patients, is being studied. A recent study found that AML patients who had relapsed from frontline venetoclax-based treatment had a very poor prognosis, with a median survival of less than three months. Since venetoclax and BP1002 utilize different mechanisms of action, we believe that BP1002 may be a potential treatment for venetoclax-relapsed AML patients. The Phase 1/1b clinical trial is being conducted at several leading cancer centers in the United States, including the Weill Medical College, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center (“MD Anderson”), Scripps Health and The University of California at Los Angeles Cancer Center. On October 7, 2024, we announced that the FDA had completed its review of PK/PD data from the first two dosing cohorts (20 and 40 mg/m 2) and that enrollment for the third dosing cohort (60 mg/ m 2) was complete. We are now enrolling cohort four in the next planned higher dose of 90 mg/m 2. The approved treatment cycle is two doses per week over four weeks, resulting in eight doses administered over twenty-eight days. The Phase 1b portion of the study is expected to commence after completion of BP1002 monotherapy cohorts and will assess the safety and efficacy of BP1002 in combination with decitabine in refractory/relapsed AML patients.

The lead indication for which we intend to develop BP1003 is pancreatic cancer due to the severity of this disease and the lack of effective, life-extending treatments. For example, pancreatic adenocarcinoma is projected to be the second most lethal cancer behind lung cancer by 2030. Typical survival for a metastatic pancreatic cancer patient is about three to six months from diagnosis. We have successfully completed several IND enabling studies of BP1003 and have one additional IND enabling study to complete.

In addition, a modified product named BP1001-A, our fourth drug candidate, has shown to enhance chemotherapy efficacy in a preclinical study involving solid tumor models. Results of the preclinical study were published in the scientific journal Oncotarget in July 2020. BP1001-A incorporates the same drug substance as prexigebersen but has a slightly modified formulation designed to enhance nanoparticle properties. A BP1001-A Phase 1/1b clinical trial in patients with advanced or recurrent solid tumors is being conducted at several leading cancer centers in the United States, including Karmanos Cancer Institute, Mary Crowley Cancer Research and Holy Cross Hospital, Maryland. On July 17, 2023, we announced completion of the first cohort of the dose escalation portion of the Phase 1/1b clinical trial. A total of nine evaluable patients are scheduled to be treated with BP1001-A monotherapy over three dose levels in a standard 3+3 dose escalation design. The first dose cohort consisted of a starting dose of 60 mg/m 2, and there were no dose limiting toxicities. Enrollment is now open for patients for the second dose cohort of 90 mg/m 2 which we expect to be complete in the second quarter of 2025 in order to advance to dose level 3. The Phase 1b portion of the study is expected to commence after successful completion of BP1001-A monotherapy cohorts and is intended to assess the safety and efficacy of BP1001-A in combination with paclitaxel in patients with recurrent ovarian or endometrial tumors. Phase 1b studies are also expected to be opened in combination with gemcitabine in Stage 4 pancreatic cancer and combination therapy in breast cancer.

Previous wording

Insulin resistance is a major contributor to obesity, Type 2 diabetes and other related metabolic diseases. Insulin lowers blood glucose level by activating the phosphoinositol-3 kinase (PI3K)/AKT pathway. However, this insulin pathway is dysfunctional in obese patients who have Type 2 diabetes. Literature suggests that Grb2 is an inhibitor of the insulin/PI3K/AKT pathway. Upregulation of the Grb2 gene has been reported for patients with Type 2 diabetes. Knockdown of Grb2 expression enhanced insulin-induced AKT activity and glucose uptake in myoblast and hepatoma cells. Furthermore, insulin sensitivity was restored in Grb2 heterozygous knockout mice fed on high fat-induced diet. We are currently exploring the development of BP1001-A as a drug candidate to target insulin resistance. We are confirming our hypothesis in preclinical trials that by downregulating Grb2 expression, BP1001-A could potentially lower blood glucose level by enhancing insulin-mediated AKT activation and glucose uptake and storage.

Previous wording

On December 19, 2024, we announced the results of our initial preclinical work; BP1001-A, by downregulating Grb2 expression, increased the levels of phosphorylated AKT and phosphorylated FOXO-1 (a downstream AKT effector) in myoblast and hepatoma cells in the presence of insulin. Furthermore, high fat diet rich in saturated fatty acids can lead to insulin resistance. Palmitic acid, the most common saturated fatty acid in a high fat diet, has been shown to impair insulin signaling. On March 18, 2025, we announced preclinical results that BP1001-A attenuated fatty acid-induced insulin resistance and restored insulin sensitivity in muscle progenitor and skeletal muscle fiber cell models. These preliminary data confirmed that BP1001-A could affect the insulin/PI3K/AKT pathway and increase insulin sensitivity, thus validating BP1001-A as a potential candidate to target obesity in Type 2 diabetes patients. We have initiated animal studies to evaluate the efficacy of BP1001-A as a potential treatment for obesity and related metabolic diseases in Type 2 diabetes patients. If successful, we intend to file an IND with the FDA in 2025 to initiate a first-in-human Phase 1 clinical trial to further validate safety, measure pharmacokinetics and establish dosing for potential pivotal trials.

As of March 31, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $120.4 million. Our net loss was $2.9 million and $3.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. We expect to continue to incur significant operating losses, and we anticipate that our losses may increase substantially as we expand our drug development programs and commercialization efforts. To achieve profitability, we must enter into license or development agreements with third parties or successfully develop and obtain regulatory approval for one or more of our drug candidates and effectively commercialize any drug candidates we develop. In addition, if we obtain regulatory approval of one or more of our drug candidates, we expect to incur significant commercialization expenses related to product sales, marketing, manufacturing and distribution. Even if we succeed in developing and commercializing one or more of our drug candidates, we may not be able to generate sufficient revenue and we may never be able to achieve or sustain profitability. We expect to finance our foreseeable cash requirements through cash on hand, cash from operations, debt financings and public or private equity offerings. We may seek to access the public or private equity markets whenever conditions are favorable; however, there can be no assurance that we will be able to raise additional capital when needed or on terms that are favorable to us, if at all. Additionally, we may seek collaborations and license arrangements for our drug candidates. We currently have no lines of credit or other arranged access to debt financing.

indication for which we intend to develop BP1003 is pancreatic cancer due to the severity of this disease and the lack of effective, life-extending treatments. For example, pancreatic adenocarcinoma is projected to be the second most lethal cancer behind lung cancer by 2030. Typical survival for a metastatic pancreatic cancer patient is about three to six months from diagnosis. We have successfully completed several IND enabling studies of BP1003 and have one additional IND enabling study to complete. Once the additional study is successfully completed, our goal is to file an IND application and initiate the first-in-humans Phase 1 study of BP1003 in patients with refractory, metastatic solid tumors, including pancreatic cancer and NSCLC.
