Phio Pharmaceuticals Reports 2025 Year-End Financial Results and Business UpdateMarch 5, 2026 4:05 PM
NewsfileTreatment Phase for Lead Clinical Candidate PH-762 Dose Escalation Trial is Complete with Favorable Safety, Tolerability and Pathology Data 2025 Financings and Warrant Exercises Strengthen Balance Sheet with $23.7 Million in Net Proceeds, Extending Cash Runway into the First Half of 2027King of Prussia, Pennsylvania--(Newsfile Corp. - March 5, 2026) - Phio Pharmaceuticals Corp. (NASDAQ: PHIO) is a clinical-stage siRNA biopharmaceutical company developing therapeutics using its proprietary INTASYL® gene silencing technology to eliminate cancer. Phio today reported its financial results for the year ended December 31, 2025, and provided a business update."Final cohort results mark the culmination of a productive 2025 fiscal year for Phio," said Robert Bitterman, Present and CEO. "Concluding the Phase 1b study with favorable safety, tolerability and pathology data, advancing the CMC and toxicology initiatives while extending our cash runway into 2027 are noteworthy milestones on our continuing pathway to potential approval."Recent Corporate UpdatesPH-762 Clinical ProgressPH-762 is currently being evaluated in a U.S. multi-center Phase 1b dose-escalating clinical trial through the intratumoral injection of PH-762 for the treatment of patients with cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma, melanoma and Merkel cell carcinoma. The trial (NCT 06014086) is designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of neoadjuvant use of intratumorally injected PH-762, assess the tumor response, and determine the dose or dose range for continued study of PH-762. The study was fully enrolled in November 2025 with a total of 22 patients, 20 with cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma, one with melanoma and one with Merkel cell carcinoma. While final study data is pending formal analysis, an FDA submission intended to propose and seek guidance for next steps in clinical study design for PH-762 is targeted for the second quarter of 2026. In July 2025, Phio entered into a comprehensive drug substance development services agreement with a US manufacturer. The manufacturer will provide analytical and process development and cGMP manufacture of Phio's lead development compound PH-762. The cGMP material will support future pivotal clinical development of PH-762. In December 2025, Phio entered into a development services agreement with a US laboratory to conduct a non-clinical toxicology study, which is required by the FDA prior to commencing a pivotal human clinical trial for registration purposes. Capital Sourcing During 2025, Phio strengthened its balance sheet through a series of equity financings and warrant exercises that generated approximately $23.7 million in net proceeds. These transactions extended the Company's cash runway into the first half of 2027 and will support ongoing clinical development, operational requirements and strategic initiatives.Patent Portfolio Enhancement and RationalizationPhio's patent portfolio includes 54 issued patents, 49 of which cover our INTASYL platform, and of those 27 cover immuno-oncology compounds and therapeutic uses. There are 20 pending patent applications, encompassing what we believe to be important new RNAi compounds and their use as therapeutics, chemical modifications of RNAi compounds that improve the compounds suitability for therapeutic uses and compounds directed to specific targets. The patents that may issue from these pending applications will, if issued, be set to expire between 2029 and 2044.Scientific NewsDuring 2025, Phio presented new data on PH-762 at several conferences including American Academy of Cancer Research (AACR), Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer (SITC), American Society of Gene and Cell Therapy (ASGCT), and at the Annual Oligonucleotide Therapeutics Society (OTS). The Company was also invited to present its Phase 1b clinical trial data for PH-762 at the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) in the Late-Breaking Research Session. Financial ResultsCash PositionAt December 31, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $21.0 million as compared with approximately $5.4 million at December 31, 2024.During the year ended December 31, 2025, we completed multiple financings generating total net proceeds of approximately $20.6 million after deducting placement agent fees and offering expenses.Research and Development ExpensesResearch and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2025 increased 27% as compared with the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase was due to the advancement of our PH-762 clinical program, planning for an upcoming PH-762 toxicology study and higher employee compensation costs.General and Administrative ExpensesGeneral and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2025 increased 23% as compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase was due to higher outsourced professional accounting and legal services and stock-based compensation costs.Net LossNet loss was approximately $8.7 million, or ($1.45) per share, for the year ended December 31, 2025 as compared with a net loss of approximately $7.2 million, or ($9.08) per share, for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase in net loss was primarily due to the changes in research and development and general and administrative expenses, as described above.About Phio Pharmaceuticals Corp.Phio Pharmaceuticals Corp.

hio Announces Safety Monitoring Committee's (SMC) Positive Wrap-up on Lead Clinical Candidate PH-762 in Skin Cancer Trial
Newsfile Corp.
Newsfile Corp
Maximum Dose Concentration in Final Cohort Yields 85% Pathological Response (6 of 7 Patients); Complete Response (100% Tumor Clearance) in 4 of 6 Responders
No Serious Adverse Events or Dose-Limiting Toxicities Identified Across All 5 Dose Escalation Cohorts
King of Prussia, Pennsylvania--(Newsfile Corp. - February 10, 2026) - Phio Pharmaceuticals Corp. (NASDAQ: PHIO) is a clinical-stage siRNA biopharmaceutical company developing therapeutics using its proprietary INTASYL® gene silencing technology to eliminate cancer. Phio announced today that the Safety Monitoring Committee (SMC) has concluded its planned safety review for all patients treated with the INTASYL compound PH-762 in Phio's Phase 1b clinical trial. No dose-limiting toxicities or serious adverse events have been reported for any of the 22 enrolled patients who completed 4 intratumoral injections of PH-762 and have been followed through at least 4 weeks after the final injection. PH-762 has been evaluated in patients within five dose-escalating cohorts, increasing drug concentration 20-fold from the first to the fifth and final cohort.
"These results support continued evaluation of this highest dose concentration of PH-762 in the next clinical trial," said Robert Bitterman, President and CEO of Phio Pharmaceuticals. "Reported pathological response coupled with a favorable safety-tolerability profile is clinically meaningful."
While final study data is pending formal analysis, an FDA submission intended to propose and seek guidance for next steps in clinical study design for PH-762 is targeted for the second quarter of 2026. A total of 22 patients with cutaneous carcinomas completed treatment in the Phase 1b trial and underwent excision of the treated lesional site. Revised reported data supports an overall response rate of 65% for squamous cell carcinomas (cSCC). Among the 20 patients with cSCC, 13 patients were classified as pathologic responders, including 9 patients with complete response (100% clearance), 2 patients with major/near clear response (greater than 90% clearance), and 2 patients with partial response (greater than 50% clearance). A single patient with metastatic Merkel cell carcinoma had a partial response. Seven cSCC patients and one melanoma patient had responses of less than 50%, however, none of the patients experienced a progression of the disease.
Concurrently, Chemistry, Manufacturing and Controls (CMC) development for drug substance material (API), is expected to have material available in March 2026 for the non-human primate study, a prerequisite for human pivotal trial commencement. Experimental work and documentation for process and methods development, as well as impurities testing are currently meeting expected timelines to commence manufacturing of cGMP material in the second half of 2026.
