Ikena Oncology, Inc. has submitted its 10-Q filing for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2024.
The filing includes financial statements for the quarter, showing a decrease in research and development expenses to $6.8 million from $14.7 million in the same quarter the previous year. This decrease is attributed to the prioritization of clinical stage programs and the discontinuation of discovery efforts.
General and administrative expenses decreased to $4.8 million from $6.0 million, primarily due to reductions in headcount and decreases in intellectual property-related legal costs.
The company reported a net loss of $10.2 million for the quarter, compared to $17.3 million in the previous year, with the decline attributed to reduced operating expenses.
Ikena Oncology continues to focus on its clinical stage, targeted oncology programs, particularly IK-595, while exploring strategic options for its development pipeline.
The company's cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities totaled $138.0 million as of September 30, 2024, which is expected to fund operations for at least 12 months.
Ikena Oncology has reduced its workforce by approximately 53% in May 2024 as part of its restructuring efforts to align with its strategic priorities.
The filing also details the company's ongoing strategic review process, which may result in a transaction, but there is no assurance that any transaction will be completed.
Ikena Oncology acknowledges the risks and uncertainties associated with its business, including its dependence on successful clinical trials, regulatory approvals, and the ability to raise additional capital.
The company does not anticipate cash dividend payments to common stockholders in the near future.
