SAN DIEGO, Feb. 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Kintara Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: KTRA) ("Kintara" or the "Company"), a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of new solid tumor cancer therapies, today announced financial results for its fiscal second quarter ended December 31, 2023, and provided a corporate update. RECENT CORPORATE DEVELOPMENTS Announced the initiation of an open label 15-patient study in cutaneous metastatic breast cancer (CMBC) patients which is evaluating REM-001, a second-generation photodynamic therapy (PDT) photosensitizer agent, and is designed to test the 0.8 mg dose as well as optimize the study design in advance of a Phase 3 trial initiation. The primary endpoint in the study is Best Overall Objective Response Rate (bORR) (complete response or partial response) of the target treatment fields at any time from treatment up to, and including, week 24. The majority of the costs to run this study will be covered by the $2.0 million Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant Kintara was awarded from the National Institutes of Health (NIH). (February 2024) Announced that Kintara's Board of Directors has initiated a process to explore and review a range of strategic alternatives focused on maximizing stockholder value and has engaged Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc. to act as financial advisor for this process. (December 2023) Announced that preliminary topline results from the Glioblastoma Adaptive Global Innovative Learning Environment (GBM AGILE) study showed that VAL-083 did not perform better than the current standards of care in glioblastoma. These topline results included preliminary safety data for VAL-083 that was similar to that of the current standards of care used to treat glioblastoma. As a result, Kintara terminated the development of VAL-083 and turned its focus to its REM-001 program. (October 2023) "We are pleased to have recently initiated our 15 patient REM-001 study for cutaneous metastatic breast cancer, a disease with little or no current treatment options" commented Robert E. Hoffman, Kintara's President and Chief Executive Officer. "We have strengthened our balance sheet primarily with net proceeds from our at-the-market (ATM) facility and aggressive cost-cutting efforts. We continue to evaluate strategic options with the goal of maximizing shareholder value." SUMMARY OF FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2023 SECOND QUARTER ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2023 As of December 31, 2023, Kintara had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $0.7 million. From January 1, 2024, to February 12, 2024, the Company has received net proceeds of approximately $6.1 million from the sale of common stock, primarily from its ATM facility. For the three months ended December 31, 2023, Kintara reported a net loss of approximately $1.0 million, or $0.24 per share, compared to a net loss of approximately $3.5 million, or $2.10 per share, for the three months ended December 31, 2022. The decreased net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2023, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2022, was largely attributed to lower research and development expenses which was primarily due to lower clinical development costs. General and administrative costs were also lower during the same period primarily due to a reduction in personnel.

ABOUT KINTARA Located in San Diego, California, Kintara is dedicated to the development of novel cancer therapies for patients with unmet medical needs.

Kintara has a proprietary, late-stage photodynamic therapy platform that holds promise as a localized cutaneous, or visceral, tumor treatment as well as in other potential indications. REM-001 Therapy, which consists of the laser light source, the light delivery device, and the REM-001 drug product, has been previously studied in four Phase 2/3 clinical trials in patients with CMBC who had previously received chemotherapy and/or failed radiation therapy. In CMBC, REM-001 has a clinical efficacy to date of 80% complete responses of CMBC evaluable lesions and an existing robust safety database of approximately 1,100 patients across multiple indications.
