Context Therapeutics Inc. (“Context” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: CNTX), a biopharmaceutical company advancing medicines for solid tumors, today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024, and reported on recent business highlights.

“Context continues to build momentum, and we believe the Company is well positioned to have a successful year,” said Martin Lehr, CEO of Context. “Our team recently initiated our Phase 1 trial for CTIM-76, a Claudin 6 x CD3 bispecific antibody and looks forward to dosing our first patient in the third quarter. In addition, the recent acquisition of CT-95, a mesothelin x CD3 bispecific antibody, delivered Context a second potentially best-in-class clinical asset to complement CTIM-76.”

Mr. Lehr continued, “Additionally, we continue to strengthen our team and are pleased that Dr. Dansky Ullmann has joined our executive team as Chief Medical Officer. Dr. Dansky Ullmann brings deep expertise in oncology and T cell therapies and a proven track record of advancing programs through clinical development.”

Second Quarter 2024 and Recent Corporate Highlights

Pipeline Updates

  • In July 2024, completed the acquisition of CT-95, a potentially first-in-class mesothelin x CD3 bispecific antibody that has received Investigational New Drug (“IND”) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”). We believe that CT-95 is on track for dosing the first patient in the Phase 1 trial in the first quarter of 2025.
  • In May 2024, announced that the FDA cleared the Company’s IND for CTIM-76, a Claudin 6 x CD3 bispecific antibody. Dosing of the first patient in the CTIM-76 Phase 1 trial is expected to occur in the third quarter of 2024.

Corporate Updates

  • In August 2024, announced the appointments of Dr. Claudio Dansky Ullmann as Chief Medical Officer and Ms. Karen Andreas as VP, Clinical Operations.
  • In May 2024, closed a private placement that resulted in gross proceeds of approximately $100 million, before deducting placement agent fees and offering expenses.
  • In April 2024, the Company participated in the 23rd Annual Needham Virtual Healthcare Conference.

Second Quarter 2024 Financial Results

  • Cash and cash equivalents were $101.5 million at June 30, 2024, compared to $14.4 million at December 31, 2023.
  • Research and development (“R&D”) expenses were $1.4 million for the second quarter 2024, as compared to $3.5 million for the same period in 2023. The decrease in R&D expenses was primarily driven by lower CTIM-76 contract manufacturing costs and preclinical costs, partially offset by an increase in clinical and regulatory costs as a result of preparing to initiate the CTIM-76 Phase 1 clinical trial. Personnel-related expenses also decreased, primarily due to lower headcount compared to the prior period.
  • General and administrative expenses were $1.7 million for the second quarter 2024, as compared to $1.8 million for the same period in 2023. The decrease was primarily driven by decreased compensation and share-based compensation costs, as well as lower insurance expense, partially offset by an increase in professional fees.
  • Other income, net was $0.8 million for the second quarter 2024, as compared to $0.3 million for the same period in 2023, primarily due to higher interest income earned on cash and cash equivalent balances.
  • Context reported a net loss of $2.3 million for the second quarter of 2024, as compared to $5.0 million for the same period in 2023.

2024 Cash GuidanceThe Company expects that its cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund the estimated duration of its CTIM-76 Phase 1 trial and the dose escalation portion of its CT-95 Phase 1 trial, as well as its operations into 2028.
