Nature of Business |
1. Nature of Business Inhibikase Therapeutics, Inc. is a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company developing protein kinase inhibitor therapeutics to modify the course of cardiopulmonary and neurodegenerative diseases and other diseases that arise from aberrant signaling through the Abelson Tyrosine Kinases. The Company’s pipeline includes IkT-001, a prodrug of the anticancer agent imatinib, for the treatment of Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension. IkT-001 has completed bioequivalence dose calibration studies in preparation for a future late-stage trial in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH). Liquidity As of December 31, 2024, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $97,543,528. The Company has incurred recurring losses and at December 31, 2024, had an accumulated deficit of $94,420,611. To date, the Company has funded its operations primarily through public offerings of its common stock, private placements of its common stock and ATM sales. In December 2020, June 2021, January 2023, May 2024 and October 2024, the Company raised approximately $14.6 million, $41.1 million, $8.5 million, $3.2 million and $99.6 million, respectively, in net proceeds from its 2020 IPO, its June 2021 Offering, its January 2023 Offering, its May 2024 Offering and its October 2024 Offering, respectively and $0.5 million in ATM proceeds in 2024. The Company is subject to a variety of risks similar to other early-stage life science companies including, but not limited to, the successful development, regulatory approval, and market acceptance of the Company’s product candidates, development by its competitors of new technological innovations, protection of proprietary technology, and raising additional working capital. The Company has incurred significant research and development expenses, general and administrative expenses related to its product candidate programs and negative cash flows from operations. The Company anticipates costs and expenses to increase in the future as the Company continues to develop its product candidates. The Company may seek to fund its operations, particularly with respect to its pulmonary arterial hypertension programs, through additional public equity, private equity, or debt financings, as well as other sources. However, the Company may be unable to raise additional working capital, or if it is able to raise additional capital, it may be unable to do so on commercially favorable terms. In addition, potential proceeds under the Series A-1 Warrants or the Series B-1 Warrants may not be available to the Company in a timely fashion, or at all. The Company’s failure to raise capital or enter into such other arrangements if and when needed would have a negative impact on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition and the Company’s ability to continue to develop its product candidates. The October 2024 Offering has mitigated the Company's substantial doubt to continue as a going concern. The Company estimates that its cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities at December 31, 2024 is sufficient to fund its normal operations for at least the next twelve months from the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of the uncertainties described above. |
