• Going Concern Warning Reaffirmed

  The company explicitly stated that its cash and cash equivalents will not satisfy operational and capital requirements beyond July 2026, reiterating a warning from its prior 10-K filing.

• Significant Cash Burn

  Cash and cash equivalents decreased to $8.13 million as of March 31, 2026, from $13.16 million at December 31, 2025. Net cash used in operating activities was $5.02 million for Q1 2026.

• Insufficient Capital Raise

  The company sold 198,793 shares for $519,624 in Q1 2026 and an additional 213,550 shares for $585,739 through May 13, 2026, via its ATM facility. These proceeds are insufficient to address the short cash runway.

• Reduced R&D Spending

  Research and development expenses decreased by $655,075 compared to the prior year, primarily due to lower patient fees and CRO costs associated with fewer patients in the randomized Phase 2 mPDAC study.

Actuate Therapeutics has reiterated its going concern warning, stating that its cash and cash equivalents will not cover operational needs beyond July 2026. This update, following a similar disclosure in the March 26, 2026 10-K, provides current financial figures that confirm the company's precarious liquidity position. Cash and cash equivalents decreased significantly to $8.13 million by March 31, 2026, from $13.16 million at year-end 2025, driven by a net cash burn of $5.02 million from operating activities in Q1 2026. While the company raised approximately $1.11 million through its At-The-Market (ATM) facility in Q1 and subsequently, this amount is insufficient to materially extend its runway. A notable decrease in research and development expenses, primarily due to fewer patients in clinical studies, also raises concerns about the progress of its lead drug candidate, elraglusib.
