ROCKVILLE, MD / ACCESSWIRE / August 15, 2024 / OS Therapies, Inc. (NYSE American:OSTX) ("OS Therapies" or "the Company"), an ADC and Immunotherapy research and clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, today reported financial results for the second quarter of 2024 ended June 30, 2024.

As of the date of our successful initial public offering (IPO) that occurred on July 31, 2024 on the NYSE American stock exchange, the Company successfully converted all of its outstanding preferred shares and debt into equity, raising $6.4 million in gross proceeds that provides the Company with cash runway through mid-2025, and received the support from the vast majority of its shareholders who signed 6-month underwriter lockup agreements, crucially through the fourth quarter 2024 readout of the fully-enrolled human Phase 2b clinical trial in resected, recurrent osteosarcoma, allowing the IPO to occur without the issuance of any warrants. The Company now has sufficient capital to meet the key objectives for its lead program OST-HER2, including the completion of the Phase 2b human osteosarcoma trial, as well as the completion of a pivotal safety study that would allow for the conditional approval already received by the US Department of Agriculture for OST-HER2 in canine osteosarcoma to be converted into a full approval, paving the way for commercialization nationwide. There are approximately 1,000 new human osteosarcoma diagnoses over 10,000 canine osteosarcoma diagnoses reported annually in the United States.

Second Quarter Corporate Highlights:

  • Interim data from the ongoing, fully enrolled clinical trial of OST-HER2 in resected, recurrent osteosarcoma with results from 39 out of the 41 patients from the fully enrolled clinical study. The final results with all 41 patients will be released in the fourth quarter of 2024

Subsequent Event Highlights:

Financial Highlights for the Second Quarter:

The Company is a pre-revenue biotechnology company. The Company anticipates beginning to generate revenue through the sale of licensing rights to its products and product candidates as they achieve upcoming de-risking clinical and regulatory milestones.

Loss from Operations:

The Company recorded a net operating loss of $1.557 million in the second quarter of 2024 compared to an operating loss of $2.505 million in the second quarter of 2023. The decrease in net loss was largely due to the majority of patients enrolled in the Phase 2b OST-HER2 clinical trial having completed the 1-year treatment phase and moving into the observation only phase evaluating overall survival. Net loss per share in the second quarter of 2024 was $0.26 on 5.991 million weighted average shares outstanding compared to the second quarter of 2023 where the Company delivered a loss of $0.47 per share on 5.340 million weighted average shares outstanding.

OS Therapies' pipeline lead OST-HER2 is a Lm vector-based off-the-shelf Immunotherapy intended to prevent metastasis, delay recurrence, and increase overall survival. The Company has screened/enrolled 54 and dosed 41 patients per protocol of its AOST-2121 Phase 2b clinical trial in recurred, resected osteosarcoma testing OST-HER2 (Listeria monocytogenes). There are 21 clinical trial sites open across the United States. OST-HER2 has received Rare Pediatric Disease Designation (RPDD) from the FDA and Fast Track and Orphan Drug Designations from the FDA and European Medicines Agency (EMA). OS Therapies is seeking Breakthrough Therapy Designation for OST-HER2 for osteosarcoma from the FDA based on data from its Phase IIb clinical trial. Upon any BLA from the FDA for OST-HER2 in osteosarcoma, the Company will be granted a Priority Review Voucher based upon the RPDD. In 2023, the US FDA approved 28 drugs and 12 biologics for the treatment of orphan diseases.

OST-HER2 has completed a Phase 1 clinical trial, primarily in breast cancer patients, in addition to strong preclinical data demonstrating efficacy on a standalone basis and in combination with HER2-targeting therapeutic antibodies such as Herceptin®. The Company intends to pursue therapeutic development of OST-HER2 in breast cancer following FDA approval for OST-HER2 in osteosarcoma.
