MAIA Biotechnology Inc. (MAIA+6.00%) has submitted its 10-K filing for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.

The filing details the company's progress in developing THIO, an investigational drug targeting telomeres in cancer cells. THIO is currently in a Phase 2 clinical trial for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in combination with the immune checkpoint inhibitor Libtayo®.

The company reported a net loss of $23,254,656 for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to a net loss of $19,772,905 in the previous year. This increase is attributed to expanded clinical trial activities and associated costs.
