• Liver Cancer Trial Data Delayed

  Topline data for the Phase 1b/2 REVERT LIVER CANCER trial (TTI-101) is now anticipated in the second half of 2026, a delay attributed to allowing for further data maturation and dose optimization.

• Positive IPF Trial Analysis

  Additional analysis from the REVERT IPF Phase 2 trial (TTI-101) demonstrated a 9.4% baseline-weighted reduction in fibrosis score compared to 2.4% for placebo, and a 4.5-fold greater decline in IL-6.

This 8-K details the company's severe financial position, confirming the concerns raised in the concurrently filed 10-K. The reported net loss of $18.2 million for the full year 2025 is substantial relative to the company's market capitalization. A cash runway projected only into the fourth quarter of 2026 indicates an urgent need for additional financing, which is particularly challenging for a company already facing a "going concern" warning. While the company provided positive additional analysis from its IPF trial and expressed optimism for its next-generation STAT3 inhibitor, the delay in topline data for the REVERT LIVER CANCER trial, despite being framed for data maturation, adds uncertainty. Investors should closely monitor the company's progress in securing additional capital and the upcoming clinical readouts, as the current financial situation poses significant risks.
