NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–OS Therapies Inc. (NYSE-A: OSTX) <\/b>(\u201cOS Therapies\u201d or \u201cthe Company\u201d), a clinical-stage cancer immunotherapy and antibody drug conjugate biotechnology company, today reported full-year 2024 financial results ended December 31, 2024 and provided a business update.\n<\/p>\n
\n\u201c2024 was a transformative year for OS Therapies as we completed our initial public offering and finalized the treatment phase of our Phase 2b clinical trial in the prevention of recurrence in fully resected, lung metastatic osteosarcoma,\u201d said Paul Romness, MPH, Chairman & CEO of OS Therapies. \u201cIn parallel, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire all of the listeria monocytogenes (Lm<\/i>)-based assets from Ayala Pharmaceuticals, supported the development of additional data for OST-HER2 in canines and positioned the Company\u2019s tunable antibody drug conjugate (tADC) program for partnering. The Company remains primarily focused on gaining a Biologics Licensing Authorization (BLA) for OST-HER2 in osteosarcoma that would trigger the issuance of a Priority Review Voucher (PRV) that the Company expect to then divest in order to capitalize with non-dilutive capital to allow the Company to fully exploit the OST-HER2 immunotherapeutic candidate and the rest of the Lm <\/i>platform.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n\u201cWhile historically, from 2021 to 2024, there were significant operating losses associated with the initiation, prosecution, and completion of the OST-HER2 clinical trial in recurrent, fully resected, metastatic osteosarcoma that used significant cash resources, going forward we expect a significantly reduced outlays beginning in the second quarter of 2025 now that one-time study costs were recognized in the first quarter of 2025,\u201d said Chris Acevedo, Chief Financial Officer of OS Therapies. \u201cWe have reduced our burn rate substantially such that we expect cash on hand to last the Company into 2026, through our projected BLA milestone and the related issuance of a PRV by the FDA that we intend to sell.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\nOS Therapies\u2019 lead product candidate, OST-HER2, is a cancer immunotherapy biologic drug candidate comprised of HER2 bioengineered form of the Lm<\/i> that mimics a listeria infection of HER2 overexpressing cancer cells and triggers a strong, immune response against cancer cells expressing HER2. This off-the-shelf immunotherapy is designed to prevent metastasis, delay recurrence, kill primary tumors expressing HER2 and increase overall survival.\n<\/p>\n
