Indaptus Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: INDP) (“Indaptus” or the “Company”), a clinical stage biotechnology company dedicated to pioneering innovative cancer and viral infection treatments, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2024, and provided a corporate update.

Jeffrey Meckler, Indaptus Therapeutics’ Chief Executive Officer, commented, “The recent announcement highlighting our clinical supply agreement with BeiGene is an important milestone, representing a significant step forward in our clinical development as we plan the first clinical trial combining BeiGene's anti-PD-1 antibody, tislelizumab, with Indaptus’ Decoy20 product candidate for cancer treatment. PD-1 inhibitors have proven meaningful in treating multiple cancer types, and we are optimistic that we can improve patient outcomes by broadly and safely stimulating the immune system to enhance the effectiveness of currently approved treatments. We have also progressed our Phase 1 clinical trial to now allow for unrestricted enrollment of patients in weekly administration at the lower Decoy20 dose, which will enable us to gather more safety and efficacy data, which is important for assessing the full potential of Decoy20. Those data will guide how we initiate the combination trial next year. To date, Decoy20 continues to be well tolerated and we are anxiously awaiting further outcomes, which we will report as the trial progresses. We continue to carefully manage our resources and will provide status updates as they develop.”

Key recent highlights:

  • Announced clinical supply agreement with BeiGene to evaluate novel cancer treatment combinations for the treatment of patients with advanced solid tumors
  • Initiated unrestricted enrollment of patients in Indaptus’ Phase 1 clinical trial of Decoy20 allowing for weekly dosing based on encouraging safety data
  • Announced that Dr. Michael Newman, Founder and Chief Scientific Officer, has published his groundbreaking research in the peer-reviewed journal, Frontiers in Immunology. The article was titled, "Invention and Characterization of a Systemically Administered, Attenuated and Killed Bacteria-Based Multiple Immune Receptor Agonist for Antitumor Immunotherapy"
  • Completed a $3 million registered direct offering and concurrent private placement on August 8, 2024 (the “August 2024 Offering”), for net proceeds of approximately $2.5 million
  • Participated in Lumanity webinar regarding the future of innate immunity in cancer immunotherapy

Financial Highlights for the Third Quarter Ended September 30, 2024

Research and development expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2024, were approximately $1.5 million, a decrease of approximately $0.7 million compared with approximately $2.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease for the three-month period was primarily due to the development of our manufacturing processes of Decoy20 that were conducted in the three months ended September 30, 2023. Research and development expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, were approximately $4.8 million, a decrease of approximately $0.8 million compared with approximately $5.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease for the nine-month period was primarily due to a decrease of approximately $1.1 million in the development of our manufacturing processes of Decoy20 that were conducted in 2023 and was offset by an increase of approximately $0.3 million in our Phase 1 clinical trial and in payroll and related expenses.

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2024, were approximately $1.7 million, a decrease of approximately $0.3 million compared with approximately $2.0 million in the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to stock-based compensation, legal fees and recruitment costs. General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, were approximately $6.4 million, a decrease of approximately $0.2 million compared with approximately $6.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease for the nine-month period was primarily due to a decrease of approximately $0.7 million in legal fees, payroll and related expenses, recruitment costs and directors’ and officers’ insurance expenses, and was offset by an increase of approximately $0.5 million in investor relations and business development expenses.

Loss per share for the three months ended September 30, 2024, was approximately $0.32 compared with approximately $0.47 for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Loss per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, was approximately $1.23 compared with approximately $1.36 per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

As of September 30, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $7.4 million. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $13.4 million. The Company expects that its current cash and cash equivalents will support its ongoing operating activities into the first quarter of 2025. This cash runway guidance is based on the Company’s current operational plans and excludes any additional funding and any business development activities that may be undertaken. Indaptus continues to assess all financing options that would support its corporate strategy.

Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $8.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared with net cash used in operating activities of approximately $10.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease resulted primarily from a decrease in our research and development activities and general and administrative expenses and by net changes in operating asset and liability items.

There was no net cash provided by or used in investing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Net cash provided by investing activities was approximately $17.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, which was related to the maturity of $24.0 million in marketable securities, offset by net investment of approximately $6.9 million in marketable securities.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, was approximately $2.9 million, which was provided by the issuance and sale of our common stock under the ATM Agreement and the issuance and sale of our common stock and warrants in the August 2024 Offering. There was no net cash provided by or used in financing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

About Indaptus Therapeutics

Indaptus Therapeutics has evolved from more than a century of immunotherapy advances. The Company’s novel approach is based on the hypothesis that efficient activation of both innate and adaptive immune cells and pathways and associated anti-tumor and anti-viral immune responses will require a multi-targeted package of immune system-activating signals that can be administered safely intravenously (i.v.). Indaptus’ patented technology is composed of single strains of attenuated and killed, non-pathogenic, Gram-negative bacteria producing a multiple Toll-like receptor (TLR), Nucleotide oligomerization domain (NOD)-like receptor (NLR) and Stimulator of interferon genes (STING) agonist Decoy platform. The product candidates are designed to have reduced i.v. toxicity, but largely uncompromised ability to prime or activate many of the cells and pathways of innate and adaptive immunity. Decoy product candidates represent an antigen-agnostic technology that have produced single-agent activity against metastatic pancreatic and orthotopic colorectal carcinomas, single agent eradication of established antigen-expressing breast carcinoma, as well as combination-mediated eradication of established hepatocellular carcinomas, pancreatic and non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas in standard pre-clinical models, including syngeneic mouse tumors and human tumor xenografts. In pre-clinical studies tumor eradication was observed with Decoy product candidates in combination with anti-PD-1 checkpoint therapy, low-dose chemotherapy, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, or an approved, targeted antibody. Combination-based tumor eradication in pre-clinical models produced innate and adaptive immunological memory, involved activation of both innate and adaptive immune cells, and was associated with induction of innate and adaptive immune pathways in tumors after only one i.v. dose of Decoy product candidate, with associated “cold” to “hot” tumor inflammation signature transition. The Decoy platform has also been shown to induce activation, polarization or maturation of human macrophages, dendritic, NK, NKT, CD4 T and CD8 T cells in vitro. IND-enabling, nonclinical toxicology studies demonstrated i.v. administration without sustained induction of hallmark biomarkers of cytokine release syndromes, possibly due to passive targeting to liver, spleen, and tumor, followed by rapid elimination of the product candidate. Indaptus’ Decoy product candidates have also produced meaningful single agent activity against chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) and chronic human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infections in pre-clinical models.
