Analysis · SLXN · Life Sciences
The widening net loss in Q2 reflects a 120% surge in R&D spending as the company accelerates its Phase 2/3 pancreatic cancer trial. Cash has dwindled to $2.2 million from $6.0 million at year-end, but a $2.5 million public offering closed on August 13 and an estimated $3.2 million in shareholders' equity bring the company back into compliance with Nasdaq's minimum equity requirement. Additionally, the first clinical site was initiated in July, and new preclinical data support the potential for combination therapy.
