Conduit Pharmaceuticals Inc. (CDT-2.21%) has submitted its 10-K filing for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.
The filing details the company's business model, which involves acquiring clinical assets from pharmaceutical companies and developing new treatments. Conduit focuses on addressing unmet medical needs and extending intellectual property through solid-form technology.
Conduit reported a net loss of $17.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to a net loss of $0.5 million for the previous year. The increase in net loss is attributed to higher research and development expenses and general and administrative costs.
Research and development expenses increased to approximately $3.4 million, primarily due to a $3.1 million upfront payment to AstraZeneca in connection with a license agreement.
General and administrative expenses rose to approximately $12.0 million, driven by increases in salaries, stock-based compensation, insurance, and professional fees.
The company has identified material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting, primarily related to limited segregation of duties and inadequate review processes.
Conduit relies on third-party contract research organizations (CROs) and other third parties for clinical trials and product development. The company faces risks related to its dependence on these external partners.
The company continues to focus on developing its initial pipeline, including AZD1656 for autoimmune disorders and AZD5904 for idiopathic male infertility, leveraging data from historical trials conducted by AstraZeneca.
Conduit anticipates needing substantial additional funding to continue its operations and execute its business strategy. The company plans to raise additional capital through equity or debt financing.
The filing also outlines various risks related to the company's business and industry, including regulatory challenges, competition, and intellectual property protection.
