關於前瞻性聲明的警告
本報告包含有關證券法1933年修訂版第27A條和1934年修訂版第21E條的前瞻性聲明,涉及重大風險和不確定性。在某些情況下,您可以通過諸如「可能」、「將」、「應當」、「期望」、「計劃」、「預期」、「可能」、「打算」、「目標」、「項目」、「估計」、「相信」、「估計」、「預測」、「潛在」或「繼續」等術語識別前瞻性聲明,或通過這些術語的否定形式或其他類似表達來識別關於未來的聲明。這些聲明僅適用於提交本報告給證券交易委員會(SEC)的日期,並涉及已知和未知的風險、不確定性和其他重要因素,這些因素可能導致我們的實際結果、表現或成就與未來由前瞻性聲明表達或暗示的任何未來結果、表現或成就迥然不同。我們主要基於目前對未來事件和可能影響我們業務、財務狀況和經營業績的預期和趨勢對這些前瞻性聲明進行了表述。這些前瞻性聲明包括但不限於以下聲明:

● | 我們計劃確定符合我們商業目標的具有重要商業潛力的其他產品候選人; 和 | |
● | 我們對未來營業收入和支出的估計。 |
由於前瞻性陳述本質上受到風險和不確定性的影響,其中一些無法預測或量化,另一些超出了我們的控制,您不應將這些前瞻性陳述作爲未來事件的預測。我們前瞻性陳述中反映的事件和情況可能無法實現或發生,實際結果可能會大幅不同於前瞻性陳述中所預示的結果。您應參閱本報告中的「風險因素」部分以及我們於2023年12月31日結束的財年提交給美國證券交易委員會的年度10-k表格,提交日期爲2024年4月1日,以討論可能導致我們的實際結果與我們前瞻性陳述所暗示的結果大幅不同的重要因素。我們在不斷髮展的環境中運營,可能會不時出現新的風險因素和不確定性。管理層無法預測所有風險因素和不確定性。因此,由於這些因素,我們無法保證本報告中的前瞻性陳述將被證明爲準確。除非適用法律要求,我們不打算公開更新或修訂本文中包含的任何前瞻性陳述,無論是因爲任何新信息、未來事件、變化的情況還是其他原因。您應該查閱我們不時向美國證券交易委員會提交的報告中描述的因素、風險和其他信息。

Cingulate公司
合併財務報表附註
(1) 業務性質和流動性
組織形式
Cingulate公司(以下簡稱Cingulate或本公司),是一家位於特拉華州的生物製藥公司,專注於利用其藥物遞送平台技術開發產品,該技術有助於製劑和生產多劑量一日一次片劑,最初專注於治療注意力缺陷/多動障礙(ADHD)。公司正在開發兩種專有的第一線興奮劑藥物,CTx-1301(右美沙芬)和CTx-1302(右旋苯丙胺),用於治療ADHD,適用於所有患者群體:兒童、青少年和成人。CTx-1301和CTx-1302採用靈活的核心壓片技術,具有旨在提供快速起效並在整個活躍時間內持續作用的目標產品特性,並具有良好的耐受性。公司正在進行CTx-1301的剩餘臨床要求,並計劃在2025年中期針對CTx-1301提交新藥申請(NDA)。此外,公司還有第三個產品CTx-2103,用於治療焦慮,處於配方階段。
截至2024年9月30日和2023年的合併基本報表及附註,代表了Cingulate及其子公司的完全合併,包括Cingulate Therapeutics LLC(CTx),所有對公司的提及均表示這種完全合併。
流動性
公司自成立以來一直遭受營運虧損和負現金流的困擾。作爲一家未實現營業收入的實體,公司依賴於籌集資本來支持業務,直到開發中的產品候選品獲得美國食品和藥物管理局(FDA)的批准,製造、市場上可用併產生收入。截至2024年9月30日,公司的現金及現金等價物約爲$
(2) 重要會計政策之摘要
(a) 呈報依據及合併原則
隨附的基本報表已按照美國通用會計原則(GAAP)編制。合併財務報表包括Cingulate及其全資子公司的帳戶。貨幣間的全部帳戶和交易均在合併中被消除。
8 |
(b) 未經審計的中期財務信息
截至2024年9月30日和2023年12月31日的附屬合併資產負債表,截至2024年9月30日和2023年的三個和九個月期間的合併損益表和綜合損益表,截至2024年9月30日和2023年的三個和九個月期間的合併股東權益表,截至2024年9月30日和2023年的九個月期間的合併現金流量表,以及相關的臨時披露均未經審計。這些未經審計的合併財務報表包括所有必要的調整,僅包括正常的往復調整,以便根據美國通用會計準則公平陳述中間期間的財務狀況和經營業績以及現金流量。中間期的結果未必能體現全年或任何隨後的中間期的業績或現金流量。附屬的合併財務報表應與公司的2023年經審計的合併財務報表及附註一起閱讀。
(c) 信貸風險集中
(未經視爲調和項目)本年度財務年度內,公司保有現金等效存款,曾在不同時間內超過聯邦存款保險公司限額$。管理層監督這些金融機構的實力,認爲公司不會面臨與未保險部分存款有關的任何重大信用風險。
(d) 長期資產減值
當公司發現相關資產可能無法收回其賬面價值時,公司評估其長期資產(包括房地產和設備)以及租賃使用權(ROU)資產的賬面價值。此類事件或情況包括經營業績顯著惡化、業務計劃變化或未來預期現金流變化等。如果存在減值跡象,公司通過比較資產的賬面價值與預計未來現金流的折現值來評估資產的收回性。如果預期未來現金流之和小於賬面價值,則公司將確認減值損失。減值損失將通過比較賬面價值超過長期資產組合公允價值的金額來衡量。截至2024年和2023年9個月的期間內未確認減值損失。
(e) 以股票爲基礎的補償
公司根據授予日期公允價值,使用Black-Scholes期權定價模型,衡量員工和董事股票爲基礎的薪酬支出。對於存在服務條件的股票獎勵,股票爲基礎的薪酬支出將在必需的服務期間內,採用直線法識別。沒收將在發生時確認。請參閱附註10中的額外信息。

(6) 備用金
公司可能會不時因業務和其他方面的常規事務而面臨法律訴訟和索賠。我們承擔的大量法律責任可能對我們的業務、財務狀況和業績產生不利影響。
公司將與損失或風險相關的法律成本記錄爲發生的費用,並在這些事項構成可能並且管理層認爲可以合理估計的重大損失風險時建立準備金,依據ASC 450法規。 風險準備金。如果估計了損失區間,並且該區間內的某個金額看起來比其他任何金額都更爲準確,則應予以計提。如果無法確定區間內哪個金額比其他金額更爲準確,則我們會計提區間內的最低金額。這些金額不會受到保險公司或第三方索賠可能收回的金額的影響,但如果認爲可以收回,則保險公司或其他第三方的未貼現應收款項可以被單獨計提。由於難以預測結果,因此需要管理層就損失準備金做出判斷,而公司會鑑於新信息調整計提金額。儘管無法確定損失準備金的結果,但管理層認爲在財務報表中已經對與任何此類事項相關的潛在損失作出了充分準備。截至2024年或2023年9月30日的合併資產負債表中未記載任何損失準備金。

認沽權證 誘因
於2024年6月28日,該公司與現有認購權證持有人(持有人)簽訂了誘因要約書協議(2024年6月認沽權證誘因),在該協議中,持有人同意行使其現有的認購權證,以便以降低的行使價格現金行使其2024年2月認購權證。這些認購權證是與2024年2月發行的公司普通股有關聯的。爲了行使2024年2月認購權證,除了降低的行使價格外,持有人還收到了新的C系列普通股購買權證,用於購買總計354,167股公司普通股,以及新的D系列普通股購買權證,用於購買總計 股的公司普通股。C系列和D系列認購權證需獲得股東批准方可行使,股東將於2024年8月23日的特別股東大會上投票表決。2024年6月認沽權證誘因被認爲是根據ASC子課題815-40,行情衍生品和套期保值協議,實現了現有認購權證的修改。這次修改符合ASC子課題815-40下的股權發行分類,因爲修改原因是爲了誘使現有認購權證的持有人行使其權證,以籌集股權資本,併爲公司產生淨收益約 美元,扣除分銷代理費和其他由公司支付的發行費用。修改後的權證在修改前後均被分類爲股權工具,並且修改是直接歸因於股權發行。公司將修改效應約 美元視爲股權發行成本,並將誘因的會計影響記錄在《股東權益報表》中。公司於2024年7月1日完成了2024年6月認沽權證誘因的結束,並獲得了淨收益約 美元。

第2條:「管理層討論與分析財務狀況和經營業績」。
我們財務狀況和業務運營結果的以下討論和分析應結合本報告其他地方包括的綜合財務報表及相關附註一起閱讀。本討論和分析中或本報告其他地方提供的部分信息,包括關於我們業務計劃和策略的信息,均包含涉及風險和不確定性的前瞻性聲明。您應該查閱我們截至2023年12月31日的年度報告(10-K表格)中的「風險因素」部分,以及本報告和我們向美國證券交易委員會(SEC)提交的其他報告中的披露,討論可能導致實際結果與以下討論和分析中包含的前瞻性聲明描述的結果有實質不同的重要因素。
概述
我們 是一家使用我們專有的 Precision Timed Release 的生物製藥公司TM (PTRTM) 藥物遞送平台 建立和推進旨在改善患者生活的下一代藥品管道的技術 源自經常被診斷的疾病,其特徵是繁瑣的每日給藥方案和不理想的治療結果。用首字母開頭 專注於注意力缺陷/多動症(ADHD)和焦慮症的治療,我們正在確定和評估其他治療方法 我們的 PTR 技術可用於開發未來的候選產品的領域。我們的 PTR 平台包含專有的侵蝕功能 屏障層(EBL)旨在允許藥物物質以特定的預定義時間間隔釋放,從而釋放潛力 適用於每日一次、多劑量的片劑。我們認爲,在當前的治療模式中,確實存在大量未滿足的需求 每日一次的注意力缺陷多動障礙興奮劑藥物,持續時間長,副作用優異,可以更好地滿足患者的需求 在他們的整個活動日中。
自2012年成立以來,我們的業務一直專注於研發產品候選藥物、組織和人員配備、業務規劃、籌集資本、建立我們的知識產權組合以及進行臨床試驗。我們沒有任何獲得批准銷售的產品候選藥物,也沒有產生任何營業收入。我們通過公開和私人籌集的資本資助我們的業務運營。截至2024年9月30日,從這些來源累積籌集的資本,包括債務融資,約爲10640萬美元。
自成立以來,我們一直遭受着巨額損失。我們能否實現盈利將取決於成功開發和商業化一個或多個產品候選者,以創造足夠的產品營業收入。我們在截至2024年9月30日的三個月內的淨虧損分別爲320萬美元和600萬美元。請參閱下文「業績結果」以了解我們淨虧損的波動原因。截至2024年9月30日,我們累積赤字達到了10240萬美元。
我們預計在短期內將繼續產生重大費用和運營虧損,因爲我們:
● | 尋求監管批准以支持CTx-1301; | |
● | 繼續爲我們現有和新的產品候選者,特別是CTx-1301,進行研發活動; | |
● | 繼續製造活動,主要與CTx-1301有關; | |
● | 尋求許可夥伴和/或外包商業基礎設施,以支持CTx-1301的銷售和營銷;和 | |
● | 作爲一家上市公司運營。 |
19 |
我們的產品收入能力將取決於我們一個或多個產品候選者的成功研發,監管批准和最終商業化。在我們能夠從產品銷售中獲得顯著收入之前,如果有的話,我們預計通過售出股票,債務融資或其他資本來源,包括與其他公司的潛在合作或其他戰略交易來籌集運營資金。我們可能無法以可接受的條件或根本無法獲得足夠的資金。如果我們未能按時籌集資金或達成此類協議,我們可能不得不極大地延遲,減少或停止我們產品候選者的開發和商業化。
2024 股票逆向拆分
2024年8月9日,我們完成了一項爲十二的股票減值(2024股票減值),在2024股票減值生效之前,我們發行並流通的普通股數量減少了。我們授權的普通股數量未受2024股票減值的影響,我們普通股的面值仍然保持不變,每股爲$0.0001。在2024股票減值中沒有發行任何碎股。本報告中所有股份數量和每股金額都已經調整以反映2024股票減值。
臨床,製造和業務更新
CTx-1301: 我們已根據美國食品藥品監督管理局(FDA)有關我們的CTx-1301臨床計劃的反饋以及長期指導,爲治療ADHD設計了我們的CTx-1301(右甲基苯丙胺)臨床項目,並根據聯邦《食品、藥品和化妝品法》第505(b)(2)條關於簡化批准途徑的指導。
我們在2023年第三季度啓動了兩項CTx-1301第3期臨床研究,針對兒童和青少年患者進行固定劑量研究和劑量優化的起效和持續研究,採用實驗室課堂環境。根據與FDA的書面溝通,這些兒童和青少年研究對於提交新藥申請(NDA)並不需要,因此我們關閉了兩項第3期試驗的入組登記。我們正在進行這些試驗的數據整合和分析工作。此外,根據FDA的指導意見,我們於2024年9月啓動了一項食物效應研究,使用CTx-1301的最高劑量強度,50毫克,預計將在2024年底前完成。相關數據將包含在NDA中,計劃在2025年中期提交。
2024年8月14日,我們獲得了CTx-1301治療ADHD的歐洲專利。該專利申請涵蓋多達30個歐洲地區,包括英國。
CTx-2103:我們已經啓動了開發CTx-2103(丁螺酮)項目,用於治療焦慮症,這是美國最常見的心理健康問題之一。我們完成了一個製劑研究,評估了這種三模式片劑提供的三個精確定時劑量的丁螺酮與一個立即釋放劑量的藥代動力學。此外,放射性造影成像可視化了片劑通過胃腸道的傳遞,以確認釋放的部位和開始時間,然後將其與藥代動力學數據相關聯,以建立CTx-2103配方的完整釋放概況。根據數據中觀察到的藥代動力學特徵,CTx-2103實現了丁螺酮的三重釋放。這些結果提供了所需的關鍵信息,使我們能夠請求與FDA進行Pre-IND會議,討論CTx-2103的臨床和監管方案設計,該會議於2023年第四季度舉行。我們收到了FDA關於CTx-2103的監管途徑和臨床研究設計用於提交IND的反饋。根據這些FDA的反饋,我們相信我們可以尋求並獲得CTx-2103在505(b)(2)途徑下的批准,這通常比505(b)(1)完整NDA途徑需要更少的時間和資源。爲完成該產品候選藥的開發,需要額外的資源。
20 |
CTx-1302: 我們計劃啓動CTx-1302(右旋苯丙胺)的臨床計劃,這是我們用於治療ADHD的第二個研究資產,需要額外的資本資源。
我們持續評估戰略合作伙伴關係,根據這些關係我們將在美國和/或國際上給CTx-1301許可。2023年3月,我們與Indegene, Inc.(Indegene)在美國簽訂了一項聯合商業化協議(商業化協議)。我們可以自行決定,利用Indegene提供CTx-1301的商業化服務,包括營銷、銷售、市場準入和分銷,按服務費用支付。
證券 發行
公開發行
於2024年2月2號,我們與投資者簽訂了協議,包括證券購買協議,根據該協議,我們發行了114,583股普通股,預先擬定了購買高達197,917股普通股的權證,購買高達312,500股普通股的A系列權證和購買高達156,250股普通股的B系列權證(「2024年2月融資」)。 2024年2月融資於2024年2月6日結束。每股普通股和附帶的A系列和B系列權證的組合購買價格爲24.00美元。每份預先擬定權證和附帶的A系列和B系列權證的組合購買價格爲23.99美元,這代表每份預先擬定權證的行權價格減去每份預先擬定權證的0.0012美元。 預先擬定權證可在發行日期後的任何時間行使,且沒有到期日。 如果持有人及其關聯方在行使後將合法擁有超過公告行使後普通股數量4.99%(或持有人選擇的情況下爲9.99%),則持有預先擬定權證的持有人不得行使權證。 A系列權證的行權價格爲24.00美元每股,可立即行使,有效期爲發行日期後的五年,B系列權證的行權價格爲24.00美元每股,可立即行使,有效期爲發行日期後的兩年。 我們根據2024年2月融資籌集了約750萬美元的募集資金,在扣除75,0950美元的承銷商佣金和其他發行費用之前。 截至2024年9月30日,所有預先擬定權證已行使。 在2024年6月28日和June 2024權證誘因(如下所定義)相關,購買177,084股的A系列權證和購買88,500股的B系列權證的持有人通知了行使權利。
Warrant Inducement
On June 28, 2024, we entered into an inducement offer letter agreement (June 2024 Warrant Inducement), pursuant to which certain holders (Holders) of certain of our existing warrants to purchase 265,625 shares of common stock issued to the Holders on February 6, 2024 (February 2024 Warrants) agreed to exercise for cash their February 2024 Warrants at a reduced exercise price of $7.02 per share. In consideration for the exercise of the February 2024 Warrants, the Holders received new Series C common stock purchase warrants to purchase an aggregate of 354,167 shares of common stock and new Series D common stock purchase warrants to purchase an aggregate of 177,083 shares of common stock. Such new warrants have an exercise price of $7.02 per share. We received net proceeds of $1.6 million from the closing of the June 2024 Warrant Inducement, which occurred on July 1, 2024.
ATM Agreement
We entered into an At The Market Offering Agreement (ATM Agreement) with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (HCW), as sales agent, in January 2023 as amended in May 2023, pursuant to which we may offer and sell, from time to time through HCW, shares of our common stock for aggregate proceeds of up to $19.7 million based on prospectus supplements filed with the SEC through the date of this report (upon the terms and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth in the ATM Agreement). In the three months ended September 30, 2024, we sold 902,300 shares of common stock under the ATM Agreement, for net proceeds of approximately $5.8 million, after deducting $0.2 million of compensation to HCW and other administration fees. In the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we sold 957,808 shares of common stock under the ATM Agreement, for net proceeds of approximately $9.3 million, after deducting $0.3 million of compensation to HCW and other administration fees.
21 |
Equity Line of Credit
In April 2023, we entered into a purchase agreement (Lincoln Park Agreement) with Lincoln Park Capital Fund LLC (Lincoln Park). Pursuant to the Lincoln Park Agreement, Lincoln Park has agreed to purchase from us up to an aggregate of $12.0 million of common stock (upon the terms and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth in the Lincoln Park Agreement) from time to time and at our sole discretion over the 36-month term of the Lincoln Park Agreement. During the quarter ended September 30, 2024, we sold 1,092,337 shares of common stock under the Lincoln Park Agreement, for net proceeds of approximately $6.1 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we sold 1,181,757 shares of common stock under the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement, for net proceeds of approximately $6.8 million. Subsequent to September 30, 2024, we sold 213,522 shares of common stock under the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement, for net proceeds of approximately $0.9 million.
Components of Operating Results
Revenue
Since inception, we have not generated any revenue and do not expect to generate any revenue from the sale of products in the near future. If our development efforts for our product candidates are successful and result in regulatory approval, or if we enter into collaboration or license agreements with third parties, we may generate revenue in the future from a combination of product sales or payments from collaboration of license agreements.
Operating Expenses
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses consist of costs incurred in the discovery and development of our product candidates, and primarily include:
● | expenses incurred under third party agreements with contract research organizations (CROs), and investigative sites, that conducted or will conduct our clinical trials and a portion of our pre-clinical activities; |
● | costs of raw materials, as well as manufacturing cost of our materials used in clinical trials and other development testing; | |
● | expenses, including salaries and benefits of employees engaged in research and development activities; | |
● | costs of manufacturing equipment, depreciation and other allocated expenses; and | |
● | fees paid for contracted regulatory services as well as fees paid to regulatory authorities including the FDA for review and approval of our product candidates. |
We expense research and development costs as incurred. Costs for external development activities are recognized based on an evaluation of the progress to completion of specific tasks using information provided to us by our vendors. Payments for these activities are based on the terms of the individual agreements, which may differ from the pattern of costs incurred, and are reflected in our consolidated financial statements as prepaid or accrued costs.
Research and development activities are central to our business model. We expect that our research and development expenses will continue to increase for the foreseeable future as we continue clinical development for our product candidates, as well as adding additional PTR product candidates to our pipeline. As products enter later stages of clinical development, they will generally have higher development costs than those in earlier stages of clinical development, primarily due to the increased size and duration of later-stage clinical trials. Historically, our research and development costs have primarily related to the development of CTx-1301. As we advance CTx-1301, CTx-1302, and CTx-2103, as well as identify any other potential product candidates, we will continue to allocate our direct external research and development costs to the products. We expect to fund our research and development expenses from our current cash and cash equivalents and any future equity or debt financings, or other capital sources.
22 |
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and related costs for our employees in administrative, executive and finance functions. General and administrative expenses also include professional fees for legal, accounting, audit, tax and consulting services, insurance, office, and travel expenses.
We expect that our general and administrative expenses will increase in the future as we increase our general and administrative headcount to support our growing operations including the potential commercialization of our product candidates. We have experienced, and will continue to experience, increased expenses associated with being a public company, including costs of accounting, audit, legal, regulatory and tax compliance services; director and officer insurance; and investor and public relations costs.
Interest and other income (expense), net
Interest and other income (expense), net consisted of interest expense on our related party notes payable until the last of those obligations were converted to equity in the first quarter of 2024, and interest earned on our cash and cash equivalents, including money market funds. The primary objective of our investment policy is liquidity and capital preservation.
Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP). The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during a reporting period. Actual results could differ from estimates.
A discussion of these policies can be found in the “Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates” section of our Form 10-K. There have been no changes in our application of critical accounting policies since December 31, 2023.

The following table summarizes our research and development (R&D) expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023:
Three Months Ended | % | |||||||||||||||
September 30, | Increase | Increase | ||||||||||||||

Total research and development expenses | $ | 1,428 | $ | 3,924 | $ | (2,496 | ) | (63.6 | )% |
R&D expenses were $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, a decrease of $2.5 million or 63.6% from the three months ended September 30, 2023. This change was primarily the result of decreased clinical activity in the three months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023. During the third quarter of 2023, we incurred significant costs relating to two Phase 3 studies for CTx-1301, the fixed dose pediatric and adolescent safety and efficacy study and the pediatric dose optimization and duration study. Enrollment in these two studies was closed in early 2024 and we are progressing with the remaining close-out and analytical activities required for an NDA submission. Manufacturing costs also decreased, as the activity in 2023 was more significant for the manufacture of clinical supply for the Phase 3 studies. In 2024, manufacturing activity included the completion of registration batches of CTx-1301. The decrease in personnel costs is the result of lower headcount and the cost containment measures, which were implemented in late 2023 in order to conserve cash, including salary reductions ranging from 5-55% for all employees. This decrease was offset by the reinstatement of 2023 base salaries for all employees in September 2024.
General and administrative expenses
The following table summarizes our general and administrative (G&A) expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023:

Total general and administrative expenses | $ | 1,854 | $ | 1,826 | $ | 28 | 1.5 | % |
Total G&A expenses were $1.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of 1.5% from the three months ended September 30, 2023. This is primarily the result of an increase in legal and professional fees, offset by a decrease in personnel expenses and insurance. The increase in legal and professional fees was due to the increased use of consultants in connection with the special shareholders meetings, the 2024 Reverse Stock Split and capital raising activity. This increase was offset by a decrease in personnel expenses primarily due to lower headcount and the cost containment measures, which we implemented in late 2023 in order to conserve cash, including salary reductions ranging from 5-55% for all employees. 2023 base salaries for all employees were reinstated in September 2024. In addition, there was a decrease in the annual directors’ and officers’ insurance premium from 2023 to 2024.

研發費用在2024年9月30日結束的九個月中爲510萬美元,比2023年9月30日結束的九個月減少了540萬美元,降幅爲51.3%。這一變化主要是由於2024年9月30日結束的九個月臨床活動的減少,相對於2023年同期而言。在2023年的前九個月中,我們因兩項CTx-1301第3階段研究產生了較大成本,包括固定劑量兒童和青少年安全性和有效性研究以及兒童劑量優化和療程研究。這兩項研究的招募在2024年初關閉,我們正在進行其餘的收尾和分析工作,以準備提交新藥申請。製造成本也減少了,因爲2023年的活動更多地用於製造第3階段研究的臨床供應。在2024年,製造活動包括完成CTx-1301的註冊批次。人員成本的減少是由較低的人員編制和成本控制措施造成的,在2023年底實施,以便保留現金,包括對所有員工的薪水減少5-55%。這一減少被2024年9月恢復所有員工的2023年基本工資所抵消。

Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities was $14.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. 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 $9.4 million, prior to the effects of two noncash items, stock-based compensation expense of $0.9 million and depreciation expense of $0.5 million. Changes in operating assets and liabilities included a decrease in trade accounts payable and accrued expenses of $5.5 million primarily due to the payment of vendor balances in the first quarter of 2024 with the cash proceeds from the issuance of common stock pursuant to our ATM Agreement in January 2024 and the issuance of equity in the February 2024 Offering.
Net cash used in operating activities was $12.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. 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 $16.6 million, prior to the effects of two noncash items, stock-based compensation expense of $0.7 million and depreciation expense of $0.4 million. Changes in operating assets and liabilities included a decrease in miscellaneous receivables of $0.2 million primarily due to collection of an amount recoverable on an insurance claim which had been recorded as a receivable as of December 31, 2022, a decrease of prepaid expenses and other current assets of $1.4 million primarily due to the utilization of a deposit made to our contract manufacturing organization (CMO) for the build out of our new manufacturing suite and the utilization of deposits made to our CROs, and an increase in trade accounts payable and accrued expenses of $1.5 million due to increased clinical and manufacturing amounts resulting from increased development activity, an increase in interest accrued due to the WFIA Note and an increase in legal fees payable relating to legal activity incurred primarily in connection with capital raise activities.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities for both the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was primarily related to the purchase of equipment to support our research and development.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 was related to the cash proceeds from the issuance of common stock pursuant to the ATM Agreement, the Lincoln Park Agreement, the February 2024 Offering and the June 2024 Warrant Inducement.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily related to gross proceeds of approximately $4.0 million from the capital raise in September 2023, gross proceeds of approximately $1.0 million from the WFIA Private Placement and proceeds from the issuance of shares of common stock pursuant to the Lincoln Park Agreement and the ATM Agreement. In addition, we received $3.0 million from the 2023 WFIA Debt Financing .
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources of Liquidity
Since our inception in 2012 through September 30, 2024, we have not generated any revenue and have incurred significant operating losses and negative cash flow from our operations.
In February 2024, we received gross proceeds of approximately $7.5 million, before deducting $750,950 of placement agent’s fees and other offering expenses in the February 2024 Offering.
On July 1, 2024, we received net proceeds of approximately $1.6 million from the closing of the June 2024 Warrant Inducement.
In the three months ended September 30, 2024, we sold 902,300 shares of common stock under the ATM Agreement, for net proceeds of approximately $5.8 million, after deducting $0.2 million of compensation to HCW and other administration fees. In the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we sold 957,808 shares of common stock under the ATM Agreement, for net proceeds of approximately $9.3 million, after deducting $0.3 million of compensation to HCW and other administration fees.
27 |
During the three months ended September 30, 2024, we sold 1,092,337 shares of common stock under the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement, for net proceeds of $6,081,814. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we sold 1,181,757 shares of common stock under the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement, for net proceeds of approximately $6.8 million . Subsequent to September 30, 2024, we sold 213,522 shares of common stock under the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement, for net proceeds of approximately $0.9 million.
截至2024年9月30日,我們的現金及現金等價物爲1000萬美元。我們相信我們的現金將在當前業務計劃下滿足到2025年第三季度的資本需求。我們計劃在2025年中期提交CTx-1301的NDA申請。我們將需要額外的資本來推進其他項目和商業化工作。雖然我們意識到CTx-1301 NDA提交的臨床和製造要求以及預估成本,但在獲得FDA批准之前難以預測其他產品候選者的支出。此外,不斷變化的情況可能導致我們的現金支出速度大大超出目前預期,我們可能需要支出比目前預期更多的現金,因爲某些情況超出我們的控制。我們的政策是將超出我們立即需求的任何現金投資於旨在保持本金餘額並提供流動性的投資,同時產生適度的投資回報。因此,我們的現金等價物主要投資於貨幣市場基金,當前利率環境下僅提供極低的回報。
We expect to continue to incur losses from operations for at least the next several years as we continue to develop our product candidates, primarily CTx-1301 and seek marketing approval and, subject to obtaining such approval, the eventual commercialization of our product candidates. If we obtain marketing approval for our product candidates, we will incur significant sales, marketing and outsourced manufacturing expenses. In addition, we expect to incur additional expenses to add operational, financial and information systems and personnel, including personnel to support our planned product commercialization efforts. We also expect to incur significant costs to comply with corporate governance, internal controls and similar requirements applicable to us as a public company.
Our future use of operating cash and capital requirements will depend on many forward-looking factors, including the following:
● | the cost and timing of manufacturing the clinical supply of our product candidates; | |
● | the initiation, progress, timing, costs and results of clinical trials for our product candidates; | |
● | the clinical development plans we establish for each product candidate; | |
● | the number and characteristics of product candidates that we develop or may in-license; | |
● | the terms of any collaboration or license agreements we may choose to execute; | |
● | the outcome, timing and cost of meeting regulatory requirements established by the FDA or other comparable foreign regulatory authorities; | |
● | the cost of filing, prosecuting, defending and enforcing our patent claims and other intellectual property rights; | |
● | the cost of defending intellectual property disputes, including patent infringement actions brought by third parties against us; | |
● | the cost and timing of the implementation of commercial scale manufacturing activities; and | |
● | the cost and timing of outsourcing our commercialization efforts, including, sales, marketing and distribution capabilities for any product candidates for which we may receive regulatory approval in regions where we choose to commercialize our products. |
28 |
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 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.
If we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, our stockholders will experience dilution. Debt financing, if available, would result in increased fixed payment obligations and may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends. Any debt financing or additional equity that we raise may contain terms, such as liquidation and other preferences that are not favorable to us or our existing stockholders. If we raise additional funds through collaboration and licensing arrangements with third parties, it may be necessary to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams or product candidates or to grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us. Adequate funding may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. If we fail to raise capital or enter into such agreements as and when needed, we may have to significantly delay, scale back or discontinue the development and commercialization of our product candidates.
Contractual Obligations
The following summarizes our contractual obligations as of September 30, 2024 that will affect our future liquidity.
We entered into a patent and know-how licensing agreement with BDD Pharma Limited in August 2018. See “Item 1. Business – Material Agreements” section of our Form 10-K for a description of this agreement. We are required to pay BDD Pharma certain amounts in connection with clinical trial and regulatory milestones. The first milestone payment of $250,000 was paid in February 2023 upon dosing of the first patient in the Phase 3 adult onset and duration study for CTx-1301. Additional payments will become due upon completion of certain milestones as defined in the agreement.
We entered into agreements with vendors to complete the data consolidation and analysis for the two CTx-1301 Phase 3 clinical studies in pediatric and adolescent patients for which we closed enrollment in early 2024 based on FDA guidance regarding our clinical program. Total estimated cost of these agreements is $1.8 million.
We entered into an agreement with a CRO on August 22, 2024 to complete the final required study for CTx-1301, a fast fed study utilizing our highest dosage strength, 50mg. Total estimated cost of this agreement is $1.5 million.

Going Concern
自成立以來,我們一直從事組織活動,包括籌集資金和研發活動。我們尚未產生營業收入,也尚未實現盈利業務,也從未從經營活動中獲得正現金流。盈利業務一旦實現,也不能確保能夠持續經營。我們面臨着任何處於臨床前階段的藥品公司都會面臨的風險,即爲研發支出巨大。無法保證我們的研發項目會成功,開發的產品會獲得必要的監管批准,或者任何覈准的產品會具有商業可行性。此外,我們處於一個快速技術變革的環境中,這在很大程度上依賴於我們的員工和顧問的服務。此外,我們未來的經營活動取決於我們籌集額外資金的努力。這些不確定性對我們是否能夠在財務報表發行後的一年內繼續作爲一個持續存在的機構存在提出了重大疑問。附表的合併基本報表是按持續存在的基礎編制的。合併基本報表沒有包括任何調整,以反映由於公司可能無法作爲持續存在的機構繼續存在而可能導致的資產的回收性和分類,或者負債的金額和分類,這是考慮了繼續經營、資產實現和負債清算的一般經營。我們截至2024年9月30日的三個月淨損失的累計損失爲10240萬美元。我們預計將在能夠從我們目前在開發中的產品候選品中獲得重要營業收入之前再次產生虧損。我們的資金來源包括 CTx 在重組合並之前各類單位的私人增發、與我們首次公開發行(IPO)相關的股本證券發行、包括2024年2月份增發在內的公開發行、根據我們與ATm協議和Lincoln Park協議下的普通股銷售、與WFIA的私人定向增發、後來轉換爲股本的WFIA Note,以及2024年6月的認股權激勵。我們將需要額外的資本來資助我們的經營活動,完成開發並商業開發我們的產品候選品。無法保證在需要時能獲得這樣的資本,或者是以可接受的條件。
JOBS法案
2012年4月5日,2012年《創業企業啓動計劃法案》(JOBS法案)簽署成爲法律。 JOBS法案包含一些規定, 其中包括減少了對「新興成長公司」某些報告要求。作爲一個「新興成長公司」,我們選擇利用JOBS法案爲實施 新的或修訂的會計準則提供的延期過渡期,並因此,我們將在新的或修訂的會計準則對新興成長公司所要求的 採納日期上遵守這些準則。
Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, as an “emerging growth company,” we are not required to, among other things, (i) provide an auditor’s attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404, (ii) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of non-emerging growth public companies under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, (iii) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis), and (iv) disclose certain executive compensation-related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the chief executive officer’s compensation to median employee compensation. These exemptions will apply until the fifth anniversary of the completion of our IPO or until we no longer meet the requirements for being an “emerging growth company,” whichever occurs first.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Not applicable.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Our Disclosure Controls
We maintain a system of disclosure controls and procedures that is designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of September 30, 2024, have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2024.

Evaluation of Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
See Part I, Item 1, Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 6 – Contingencies, of this report.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Our business is subject to substantial risks and uncertainties. Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risk factors in Part I, Item 1A of our Form 10-K, together with the information contained elsewhere in this report, including Part I, Item 1 “Financial Statements” and Part I, Item 2. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and in our other SEC filings in evaluating our business. These risks and uncertainties could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, prospects for growth, and the value of an investment in our securities.
Except as set forth below, there were no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in our Form 10-K.
Our failure to maintain compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements could result in the delisting of our securities from Nasdaq, and the price of our common stock and/or warrants and our ability to access the capital markets could be negatively impacted.
Our common stock and warrants are currently listed for trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market. We must satisfy the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq to maintain the listing of our securities on The Nasdaq Capital Market.
On May 16, 2023, we received a notice from the Listing Qualifications Staff (Staff) of Nasdaq stating that we no longer complied with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement of $2.5 million under the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) (Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Rule) for continued listing. We submitted a plan of compliance to Nasdaq on June 30, 2023. On July 28, 2023, Nasdaq notified us that it had granted an extension until November 13, 2023 to regain compliance with the Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Rule, conditioned upon achievement of certain milestones included in the plan of compliance previously submitted to Nasdaq, including a plan to raise additional capital. On November 14, 2023, we received a letter from Nasdaq indicating that, based upon our non-compliance with the Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Rule, the Staff had determined to delist our securities from Nasdaq, subject to our request for a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel Panel).
On December 26, 2023, we received an additional letter from the Staff indicating that, based upon the resignation of three members of our board of directors on December 12, 2023 and December 13, 2023, we no longer compiled with the independent director, audit committee, compensation committee and independent director oversight of director nominations requirements as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605. We timely requested a hearing before the Panel, which was held on February 13, 2024. On February 22, 2024, the Panel notified us that (i) as a result of the appointment of three independent board members on February 12, 2024, we had regained compliance with the board composition requirements of Nasdaq set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605 and (ii) it granted our request for an exception to evidence continued compliance with the Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Rule through May 13, 2024. On May 21, 2024, we were formally notified that the Panel determined that we had regained compliance with the Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Rule. Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5815(d)(4)(A), we will be subject to a discretionary panel monitor through May 21, 2025 (Panel Monitor). If, within that one-year monitoring period, we fail to maintain compliance with any Nasdaq continued listing requirement, the Staff will issue a Delist Determination Letter and we will have an opportunity to request a new hearing with the initial Panel or a newly convened Hearings Panel if the initial Panel is unavailable. Notwithstanding Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(2), we will not be permitted to provide the Staff with a plan of compliance with respect to any deficiency that arises during the one-year monitoring period, and the Staff will not be permitted to grant additional time for us to regain compliance with respect to any deficiency.

On July 28, 2023, we received a notice from Nasdaq indicating that we were not in compliance with the requirement to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share for continued listing on Nasdaq (Minimum Bid Price Rule). We were provided a compliance period of 180 calendar days from the date of the notice, or until January 24, 2024, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule, pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A). On November 30, 2023, we effected a reverse stock split of our common stock, and on December 15, 2023, we received notice from Nasdaq that we had regained compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule.
2024年6月17日,我們收到了納斯達克發來的通知,稱根據我們未符合最低競買價格規則,工作人員決定除非我們及時在小組委員會面前請求聽證會,否則從納斯達克將我們的證券除牌。由於我們受小組監控,工作人員未給予公司額外時間以符合最低競買價格規則。我們及時在小組委員會面前請求了一次聽證會,該聽證會於2024年7月25日舉行。我們的聽證會請求暫停或除牌行動。在聽證會上,我們請求延長以證實符合最低競買價格規則。2024年8月2日,我們收到了納斯達克發來的通知,稱小組決定向我們的請求做出例外,延至2024年8月23日以證明符合最低競買價格規則。因此,小組同意我們繼續在納斯達克上市,條件是:1)在2024年8月9日或之前,公司進行1比3至1比15之間的股票合併;和2)在2024年8月23日或之前,公司通過證明股票收盤價爲每股1.00美元或更高,連續交易日至少十個交易日來證明符合最低競買價格規則。2024年8月9日,我們完成了一比十二的股票合併,以證明符合最低競買價格規則。2024年9月9日,我們正式收到通知,小組確定公司已恢復符合最低競買價格規則。
In the event that our closing bid price again falls below $1.00 per share for more than 30 consecutive business days, we will no longer be in compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule, and as a result of the Panel Monitor, we would receive a Delist Determination Letter and we would have an opportunity to request a new hearing with the initial Panel or a newly convened Hearings Panel if the initial Panel is unavailable. There can be no assurance that we will continue to maintain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule or the other Nasdaq listing requirements.
我們必須滿足納斯達克的持續上市要求,包括最低股東權益規則等其他規定,否則將面臨除牌風險,這可能會對我們的業務產生重大不利影響。如果我們的普通股和warrants 從納斯達克除牌,可能會顯著降低我們的普通股和warrants 的流動性,並導致與納斯達克相關的市場效率喪失以及聯邦對州證券法的豁免權損失導致的普通股和warrants 價格相應大幅下降。此外,除牌可能損害我們通過可接受的條款或根本無法從替代融資來源籌集資金的能力,可能導致投資者、供應商、客戶和員工信心的潛在損失,以及較少的業務發展機會。如果我們的普通股和warrants 除牌,買入或賣出我們的普通股和warrants 或獲得準確報價可能更加困難,我們的普通股和warrants 價格可能會受到實質性下跌的影響。除牌還可能損害我們在可接受的條款下籌集資本的能力,可能根本無法籌集資本。
