HANOVER, Md., Nov. 08, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Processa Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: PCSA) ("Processa" or the "Company"), a diversified clinical-stage company developing drugs for patients who have unmet medical conditions and/or require better treatment options to improve a patient’s survival and/or quality of life, today announced financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, and provided an update on its clinical programs. Dr. David Young, President and CEO of Processa, commented, “We are delighted to report our push to enroll patients in PCS12852 (Gastroparesis) and PCS6422 (Next Generation Capecitabine) has helped us get critical data and report successful preliminary results in both trials. The data from these trials will help us design Phase 2B trials for both programs. Next Generation Capecitabine (NGC) (a combination of PCS6422 and capecitabine): we have identified lower capecitabine dosage regimens when administered in NGC that will help avoid dose-limiting toxicities such as hand-foot syndrome, yet provide approximately 50-times greater potency than capecitabine alone. We will complete this study in the near future and seek FDA confirmation of our plans to implement the principles of the Project Optimus Oncology Initiative, wherein the objective is to optimize dosing to achieve a better balance between efficacy and safety than merely using the maximum tolerated dose.PCS12852: we have shown a statistical difference in the gastric emptying rate between the 6 patients on 0.5 mg of PCS12852 and the 8 patients on placebo at p-value < 0.10 with mild to moderate adverse events. We anticipate having the analysis of the gastroparesis symptoms completed by the end of the year. All our energies have been directed towards the completion of these trials that inform the next steps for these much-needed therapies. Advancing these drugs in their respective clinical trial allows us to obtain the clinical data to better define each pivotal trial as well as provide us with more insight into how the FDA will review each of these products as we plan the road maps for designing the studies for our New Drug Applications to FDA. Financial Results for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 Our cash balance on September 30, 2022, was $9.1 million, which should be sufficient to complete our three on-going clinical trials and fund our operations into the third quarter of 2023. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we spent $7.1 million in cash for these three clinical trials and in our operations. This is significantly less than our GAAP net loss of $14.4 million due to the effect of non-cash items like amortization and stock-based compensation, and the application of amounts we had prepaid to our CROs last year. Our net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, was $14.4 million or $0.90 per share compared to a net loss of $8.2 million, or $0.54 per share for the same period of 2021. The increase in our net loss relates primarily to increased clinical trial costs we incurred in our three ongoing trials. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we incurred $8.3 million in research and development costs, an increase of $3.5 million when compared to the same period of 2021. We anticipate clinical trial costs will continue to increase for the rest of the year as our trials continue to progress and we fund development activities for the other drugs in our pipeline. During the nine months ending September 30, 2022, our general and administrative expenses totaled $6.1 million compared to $3.4 million for the same period in 2021. The increase related primarily to increases in non-cash or stock-based compensation costs, along with other operating and consulting costs. We allocated $6.1 million of non-cash compensation costs between our R&D and G&A costs, with the majority recorded as G&A. Our net cash used in operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, increased by $1.1 million to $7.1 million, compared to $6 million for the same period in 2021. While we experienced increased GAAP costs related to our clinical trials and operations, we continued to make use of equity incentives to compensate our executive and development team, thereby reducing our cash outflow, and we were able to apply previously made advanced payments to our CROs against current trial costs. As of September 30, 2022, we had 15.9 million common shares outstanding.
