Cash and cash equivalents of $14.4 million as of December 31, 2023
Company expects its cash and cash equivalents will continue to fund operations into late 2024
PHILADELPHIA, March 21, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Context Therapeutics Inc. (“Context” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: CNTX), a biopharmaceutical company advancing medicines for solid tumors, today announced its financial results for the year ended December 31, 2023, and reported on recent and upcoming business highlights.
“During the fourth quarter of 2023, Context continued to advance our lead clinical candidate, CTIM-76, a Claudin 6 (“CLDN6”) x CD3 bispecific antibody, toward a first-in-human clinical study. Preclinical data presented at the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer’s (SITC) 38th Annual Meeting highlighted the broad therapeutic potential of CTIM-76 when targeting CLDN6-positive tumors. The preclinical data further support CTIM-76’s differentiated product profile, including its potential to address limitations of first-generation CLDN6-targeted clinical-stage therapies,” said Martin Lehr, CEO of Context. “We look forward to filing an Investigational New Drug Application (“IND”) with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) by the end of March 2024 for CTIM-76. We then plan to initiate a Phase 1 clinical trial to focus on CLDN6-positive gynecologic and testicular cancers upon receiving IND clearance from the FDA.”
