OS Therapies Inc. (NYSE-A: OSTX) (“OS Therapies” or “the
Company”), a clinical-stage cancer immunotherapy and antibody drug
conjugate biotechnology company, today reported first quarter 2025
financial results ended March 31, 2025 and provided a business
update.
“The first quarter of 2025 was a crucial execution quarter for
OS Therapies, as we announced positive data from our OST-HER2 Phase
2b clinical trial in the prevention of recurrent, fully resected,
lung metastatic pediatric osteosarcoma and will be leveraging this
data to seek Accelerated Approval from the FDA and other regulatory
authorities,” said Paul Romness, MHP, Chairman & CEO of OS
Therapies. “Additionally, we consolidated ownership of the listeria
immunotherapy platform, adding three clinical stage and eight
preclinical assets to our pipeline. We extended the exclusivity
protection for its commercial runway into 2040 with the issuance of
a new manufacturing patent. Additionally, we have secured research
coverage from Wall Street analysts who have shown significant
interest in the revival of the listeria immunotherapy platform. We
have started important interactions with the FDA with a view
towards an Accelerated Approval, with the Osteosarcoma community
supporting in the ongoing FDA process. We believe we are well
positioned to bring the first new treatment for osteosarcoma to
market in over 40 years.”
“As outlined in communications surrounding our 2024 Annual
Report on Form 10-K, the first quarter saw some significant
one-time expenses related to closing out the treatment phase of the
Phase 2b trial, as well as start-up costs for regulatory
preparations ahead of our submission,” said Chris Acevedo, Chief
Financial Officer of OS Therapies. “Those one-time expenses are now
largely behind us, and we have dramatically reduced our burn rate,
positioning us to operate into mid-2026.”
