Total research and development expenses were up by $380 and $752 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, over the same period in 2016. This increase relates primarily to drug manufacturing activities and preparations for registration batches. General and administrative costs increased over the prior year in the same period primarily due to the issuance of equity based compensation and costs associated with the NASDAQ listing.
Changes in the valuation of derivative liabilities are primarily driven by volatility in the Company’s share price. Since February of 2017, the Company’s share price has increased. This has caused a significant fluctuation in the value of the derivative liabilities on our books. The result has been a $202 and $385 increase in non-cash loss on derivative valuation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, over the same period in 2016.

The increase in cash and cash equivalents between September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 is primarily due to cash received from the completion of an equity financing in June 2017 and exercise of various warrants and options.

The Company received $7,571 net of issuance costs from the equity financing and $512 from the exercise of options and warrants. The Company issued a total of 2,214 shares as a result of these activities.

About PEDMARK™ (Sodium Thiosulfate (STS))
Cisplatin and other platinum compounds are essential chemotherapeutic components for many pediatric malignancies. Unfortunately, platinum-based therapies cause ototoxicity in many patients, and are particularly harmful to the survivors of pediatric cancer.
In the U.S. and Europe there is estimated that over 7,000 children are diagnosed with low-to-intermediate risk cancers that may receive platinum based chemotherapy. Low-to-intermediate risk cancers that receive platinum agents may have overall survival rates of greater than 80% further emphasizing the quality of life after treatment. The incidence of hearing loss in these children depends upon the dose and duration of chemotherapy, and many of these children require lifelong hearing aids. There is currently no established preventive agent for this hearing loss and only expensive, technically difficult and sub-optimal cochlear (inner ear) implants have been shown to provide some benefit. Infants and young children at critical stages of development lack speech language development and literacy, and older children and adolescents lack social-emotional development and educational achievement.
STS has been studied by cooperative groups in two Phase 3 clinical studies of survival and reduction of ototoxicity, The Clinical Oncology Group Protocol ACCL0431 and SIOPEL 6. Both studies are closed to recruitment. The COG ACCL0431 protocol enrolled one of five childhood cancers typically treated with intensive cisplatin therapy for localized and disseminated disease, including newly diagnosed hepatoblastoma, germ cell tumor, osteosarcoma, neuroblastoma, and medulloblastoma. SIOPEL 6 enrolled only hepatoblastoma patients with localized tumors.
