Research and development expense was approximately $3,544,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to approximately $3,243,000 for the comparable period in 2025. The change in research and development expense during the period is primarily attributable to an increase in professional expenses of $240,000, increased headcount expenses of $61,000, drug manufacturing expenditures related to TPI 287 as well as other expenses. R&D expense includes activity related to completing and closing out the clinical trial for Berubicin as enrollment and patient treatment is complete. The decline in Berubicin clinical trial costs offset the increase in expenses above. Our future research and development expense will be dependent on the timing and nature of any new asset we in-license or acquire and the development expenses related to such asset.

Previous wording
We estimate that with the proceeds from the May 2026 private placement together with our existing cash on hand we have sufficient capital to fund operations beyond twelve months from the issuance of these financial statements. Our strategy is focused on identifying and securing the rights to development stage assets and advancing any assets we obtain the rights to. The timing, cost and ultimate success of which are all difficult to predict and as such the foregoing estimate may prove to be inaccurate. The cost of advancing any drug candidate will require significant additional capital. We have no commitments for such additional needed financing and will likely be required to raise additional capital through the sale of additional equity or debt securities.

There can be no assurance that such a plan will be successful and if it is not successful we may need to cease operations entirely.

Current report — wording carried from elsewhere
Research and development expense was approximately $4.7 million and $4.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The increase in research and development expense of $0.3 million is primarily attributable to an increase in personnel related expense, including severance, of $1.1 million and an increase in TPI-287 manufacturing and research costs of $0.5 million. These increases are partially offset by decreases in clinical costs related to Berubicin of $1.3 million. R&D expense includes activity related to completing and closing out the clinical trial for Berubicin as enrollment and patient treatment is complete. Our future research and development expense will be dependent on the timing and nature of any new asset we in-license or acquire and the development expenses related to such asset.
