"Our financial results during the first quarter of the year continue to remain consistent and in line with our projections for 2019. With an approximate $2 million quarterly cash burn expected to continue for the remainder of the year, the Company expects to have funding into the second half of 2020 while also providing us with the ability to significantly advance and expand our pipeline projects. In parallel with progressing our lead pipeline products, we have expanded our collaborations to include a collaboration with Glycostem Therapeutics and have increased our data output supporting the broad applicability of our self-delivering RNAi platform in various immune cell types and immuno-oncology applications, such as adoptive cell therapy and direct intra-tumoral use of our products," said Dr. Gerrit Dispersyn, President and CEO of Phio Pharmaceuticals Corp. "By bringing new talent on board and implementing improved R&D processes, we look forward to further accelerating our R&D efforts within the financial expectations and projected cash runway."

Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 were $1.1 million as compared with $1.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2018.

General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 were $1.1 million as compared with $0.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2018. The increase was primarily due to an increase in stock-based compensation expense related to the restricted stock issued to the Company's former Chief Executive Officer in lieu of cash compensation.
Net Loss
Net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 was $2.1 million, compared with $2.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2018. The decrease was primarily due to changes in operating expenses, as discussed above
