For the fourth quarter and full-year results, Gonsalves says that there were no real deviations into the results and they came generally in line with their expectations. For the fourth quarter, Citegenix revenue came in slightly higher at $3 million versus their $2.6 million estimate. Meanwhile R&D expenses came in slightly higher at $3.1 million versus their $2.5 million estimate. She adds, “as a clinical stage biotechnology company, quarterly financials are not a materially impactful event.”
The most important thing she says is after the two raises the company has $72 million in cash, which by their estimates “will be sufficient to fund operations for over two years, including otenaproxesul’s full ~$60.0M adaptive Phase 2/3 program.” She then refers to this quarter as a very productive de-risking quarter for the company.
Gonsalves says that the collaboration with Dalriade will help drive pipeline expansion. The team at Dalriada has 50 scientists and specializes in developing small-molecule drugs. She says it will help “Accelerate screening, selection, and advancement of drug candidates for IND-enabling studies.”
