Since inception in 2012, our operations have focused on developing our product candidates, primarily CTx-1301, organizing and staffing our company, business planning, raising capital, establishing our intellectual property portfolio and conducting clinical trials. We do not have any product candidates approved for sale and have not generated any revenue. We have funded our operations through public and private capital raised. Cumulative capital raised from these sources, including debt financing, was approximately $109.3 million as of March 31, 2025.

Previous wording

We have incurred significant losses since our inception. Our ability to generate product revenue sufficient to achieve profitability will depend on the successful development and commercialization of one or more of our product candidates. Our net losses were $3.8 million and $3.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. See “Results of Operations” below for an explanation of the fluctuations in our net losses. As of March 31, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $112.3 million.

Previous wording

We are targeting to file our NDA submission for CTx-1301 in mid-2025 and believe our cash will satisfy our capital needs into the fourth quarter of 2025 under our current business plan. We will need additional capital to advance our other programs and commercialization efforts for CTx-1301. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below.

Current wording

We filed our NDA for CTx-1301 with the FDA on July 31, 2025 and believe our cash will satisfy our capital needs into late 2025 under our current business plan. To advance our commercialization efforts for CTx-1301 into early 2026, we will need to raise approximately $1.5 million of additional capital. We will also need additional capital to advance our other programs. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below.

Previous wording

**CTx-1301:**We have designed our clinical program for CTx-1301 (dexmethylphenidate), our lead investigational product candidate for the treatment of ADHD, based on U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) feedback regarding our CTx-1301 clinical plan, and longstanding guidance on the streamlined approval pathway under Section 505(b)(2) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.

Previous wording

We initiated two CTx-1301 Phase 3 clinical studies in pediatric and adolescent patients- a fixed dose study and a dose-optimized onset and duration study in a laboratory classroom setting in the third quarter of 2023. Based upon written communication with the FDA that further conduct of these pediatric and adolescent studies is not required for the submission of an NDA, we closed enrollment on both Phase 3 trials. We are performing the data consolidation and analytical activities for these trials. Analysis of the safety data from the two closed Phase 3 trials and the 50mg dose food effect study revealed that no subjects experienced a serious treatment emergent adverse event (TEAE), a serious TEAE or a TEAE leading to death and there were no clinically relevant trends in TEAEs overall. A final analysis that combines both adult and pediatric safety and efficacy data will be included in the NDA submission for CTx-1301.

Previous wording

**CTx-2103:**We have embarked on a program to develop CTx-2103 (buspirone), for the treatment of anxiety, which is one of the most common mental health concerns in the United States. We completed a formulation study in which the pharmacokinetics were evaluated for this trimodal tablet providing three precisely timed doses of buspirone versus one immediate release dose. In addition, scintigraphic imaging visualized transit of the tablets through the gastrointestinal tract to confirm both the site and onset of release, which will then be correlated with pharmacokinetic data to establish the full release profile of the CTx-2103 formulation. Based on the pharmacokinetic profile seen in the data, CTx-2103 achieved a triple release of buspirone. These results provided the critical information required to allow us to request a Pre-IND meeting with the FDA to discuss the design of our clinical and regulatory program for CTx-2103 which occurred in the fourth quarter of 2023. We received input from the FDA regarding the regulatory pathway for CTx-2103, and the design of clinical studies for filing of an IND. Based on this FDA feedback, we believe that we can seek and win approval of CTx-2103 under the 505(b)(2) pathway, which typically requires less time and resources than the 505(b)(1) full NDA pathway. Additional resources will be required to complete the development of this product candidate.

Previous wording

R&D expenses were $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, an increase of $0.4 million or 23.0% from the three months ended March 31, 2024. This change was primarily the result of an increase in personnel expenses and regulatory costs in the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024. The increase in personnel costs is the result of the reinstatement of base salaries in September 2024 following salary reduction measures which had been implemented in late 2023. Regulatory costs increased in the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024 due to preparation for the pre-NDA meeting with the FDA.

Current wording

R&D expenses were $2.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, an increase of $0.8 million or 43.6% from the three months ended June 30, 2024. This change was primarily the result of an increase in clinical operations and regulatory costs in the three months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024, which was partially offset by a decrease in manufacturing costs. The increase in clinical operations costs is the result of the close-out and analytical activities required for NDA submission related to two Phase 3 studies for CTx-1301, the fixed dose pediatric and adolescent safety and efficacy study and the pediatric does optimization and duration study. Regulatory costs increased in the three months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024 due to preparation for the pre-NDA meeting with the FDA and NDA submission during the first quarter of 2025. The decrease in manufacturing costs in the three months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024 was due to more significant manufacturing costs in 2024 related to the completion of registration batches of CTx-1301.

Previous wording

Total G&A expenses were $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, an increase of $0.3 million or 30.0% from the three months ended March 31, 2024. This is primarily the result of an increase in legal and professional fees and personnel expenses. The increase in professional fees was due to an increase in certain financial, accounting and investor relations fees. The increase in personnel costs is the result of reinstatement of base salaries in September 2024 following salary reduction measures which had been implemented in late 2023.

Current wording

Total G&A expenses were $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, an increase of $0.6 million or 47.1% from the three months ended June 30, 2024.

Previous wording

Net cash used in operating activities was $4.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Cash used in operating activities was primarily due to the use of funds in our operations to develop our product candidates resulting in a net loss of $3.8 million, prior to the effects of two noncash items, stock-based compensation expense of $0.4 million and depreciation expense of $0.2 million. Changes in operating assets and liabilities included a decrease in trade accounts payable and accrued expenses of $0.9 million primarily due to the payment of vendor balances in the first quarter of 2025 and an increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $0.5 million primarily due to payments for professional and marketing fees.

Previous wording

As of March 31, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $9.5 million. We believe our cash will satisfy our capital needs into the fourth quarter of 2025 under our current business plan, which is beyond the targeted date to file our NDA submission for CTx-1301 of mid-2025. We will need additional capital to advance our commercialization efforts for CTx-1301 as well as our other programs. Changing circumstances may cause us to expend cash significantly faster than we currently anticipate, and we may need to spend more cash than currently expected because of circumstances beyond our control. Our policy is to invest any cash in excess of our immediate requirements in investments designed to preserve the principal balance and provide liquidity while producing a modest return on investment. Accordingly, our cash equivalents are invested primarily in money market funds which are currently providing only a minimal return given the current interest rate environment.

Previous wording

To continue to grow our business over the longer term, we plan to commit substantial resources to research and development, including clinical trials of our product candidates, and other operations and potential product acquisitions and in-licensing. We have evaluated and expect to continue to evaluate a wide array of strategic transactions as part of our plan to acquire or in-license and develop additional products and product candidates to augment our internal development pipeline. Strategic transaction opportunities that we may pursue could materially affect our liquidity and capital resources and may require us to incur additional indebtedness, seek equity capital or both. In addition, we may pursue development, acquisition or in-licensing of approved or development products in new or existing therapeutic areas or continue the expansion of our existing operations. Accordingly, we expect to continue to opportunistically seek access to additional capital to license or acquire additional products, product candidates or companies to expand our operations, or for general corporate purposes. Strategic transactions may require us to raise additional capital through one or more public or private debt or equity financings or could be structured as a collaboration or licensing arrangement. We are actively seeking a strategic pharmaceutical partnership under which we would license CTx-1301 in the United States, internationally, or both. In March 2023, we entered into a joint commercialization agreement, which was replaced with a master services agreement in May 2025, with Indegene. Should we be unable to identify an appropriate pharmaceutical partnership, if we receive FDA approval for CTx-1301, Indegene would provide commercialization services for CTx-1301, including marketing, sales, market access and distribution, on a fee for service basis.

In addition, we may pursue development, acquisition or in-licensing of approved or development products in new or existing therapeutic areas or continue the expansion of our existing operations. Accordingly, we expect to continue to opportunistically seek access to additional capital to license or acquire additional products, product candidates or companies to expand our operations, or for general corporate purposes.

For example, pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement, we are subject to certain restrictions on our ability to issue securities during the term of the Note. Specifically, we have agreed, among other things, to obtain Lender’s consent prior to issuing any debt securities or certain equity securities where the pricing of such equity securities is tied to the public trading price of our common stock and to refrain from entering into any agreement or covenant that locks up, restricts or otherwise prohibits us from entering into a variable rate transaction with Lender or any of its affiliates, or from issuing common stock or other equity or debt securities to Lender or any of its affiliates. If we are unable to obtain Lender’s consent prior to issuing any debt or certain equity securities, such issuance may be a breach of the Note Purchase Agreement, and we may be obligated to indemnify Lender for loss or damage arising as a result of any breach or alleged breach by us of the Note Purchase Agreement, which may affect our business operations and financial condition. Additionally, the Note provides that following an event of default under the Note, Lender has the right to seek and receive injunctive relief from a court or an arbitrator prohibiting us from issuing any of our common stock or preferred stock to any party unless fifty percent of the gross proceeds received by us in connection with such issuance are simultaneously used to make a payment under the Note. Lender also has the right to seek and receive injunctive relief from a court or arbitrator to prevent the consummation of any fundamental transaction, as defined in the Note, unless it contains a closing condition that the Note is paid in full upon consummation of the transaction or Lender has provided its written consent to such transaction.

Since inception we have been engaged in organizational activities, including raising capital and research and development activities. We have not generated revenues and have not yet achieved profitable operations, nor have we ever generated positive cash flow from operations. There is no assurance that profitable operations, if achieved, could be sustained on a continuing basis. We are subject to those risks associated with any pre-clinical stage pharmaceutical company that has substantial expenditures for research and development. There can be no assurance that our research and development projects will be successful, that products developed will obtain necessary regulatory approval, or that any approved product will be commercially viable. In addition, we operate in an environment of rapid technological change that is largely dependent on the services of our employees and consultants. Further, our future operations are dependent on the success of our efforts to raise additional capital. These uncertainties raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the issuance date of our financial statements. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the company to continue as a going concern, which contemplates the continuation of operations, realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. We have incurred a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 and had accumulated losses of $112.3 million since inception to March 31, 2025. We anticipate incurring additional losses until such time, if ever, that we can generate significant revenue from our product candidates currently in development. Our sources of capital have included private capital raises in various classes of units of CTx prior to the Reorganization Merger, the issuance of equity securities in connection with our initial public offering (IPO), public offerings, including the September 2023 Offering and the February 2024 Offering, sales of common stock under our ATM Agreement and Lincoln Park Agreement, a private placement with WFIA, the WFIA Note, which was subsequently converted to equity, the June 2024 Warrant Inducement and the issuance of the Promissory Note in December 2024. Additional capital will be needed by us to fund our operations, to complete development of and to commercially develop our product candidates. There is no assurance that such capital will be available when needed or on acceptable terms.

The following table summarizes our results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024:

Current report — wording carried from elsewhere

R&D expenses were $4.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, an increase of $1.2 million or 33.5% from the six months ended June 30, 2024. This change was primarily the result of an increase in clinical operations, personnel expenses and regulatory costs in the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024, which were partially offset by a decrease in manufacturing costs. The increase in clinical operations costs is the result of the close-out and analytical activities required for NDA submission related to two Phase 3 studies for CTx-1301, the fixed dose pediatric and adolescent safety and efficacy study and the pediatric does optimization and duration study. Regulatory costs increased in the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024 due to preparation for the pre-NDA meeting with the FDA and NDA submission. Personnel costs increased in the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024 due to the reinstatement of base salaries in September 2024 following salary reduction measures which had been implemented in late 2023. The decrease in manufacturing costs in the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024 was due to more significant manufacturing costs in 2024 related to the completion of registration batches of CTx-1301.

Current report — wording carried from elsewhere

Total G&A expenses were $3.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, an increase of $1.0 million or 39.2% from the six months ended June 30, 2024. This is primarily the result of an increase in legal and professional fees. The increase in professional fees was due to an increase in certain financial, accounting and legal fees.
