(“Context” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: CNTX), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company advancing T cell engaging bispecific antibodies for solid tumors, today announced its financial results for the year ended December 31, 2024, and reported on recent and upcoming business highlights. Martin Lehr, CEO of Context, commented, “We believe 2024 was a transformative year for Context, marked by strategic acquisitions, a strengthened financial position, and enhancements to our leadership team, all aligning with our mission to develop innovative T cell-engaging bispecific antibodies for solid tumors. With the expansion of our pipeline through the acquisition of CT-95 and the in-licensing of CT-202, as well as significant progress in our candidate, CTIM-76, we have positioned ourselves to make meaningful advancements in the treatment of solid tumors. As we entered 2025, we achieved a major milestone with the first patient dosed in our Phase 1 clinical trial of CTIM-76, a critical step in assessing its potential as a novel T cell-engaging bispecific antibody for CLDN6-positive ovarian, endometrial, and testicular cancers.” “We ended the year with cash and cash equivalents of $94.4 million, providing the financial resources needed to further advance our clinical programs. Looking ahead, we anticipate dosing the first patient in our Phase 1 clinical trial of CT-95, targeting mesothelin-expressing cancers, in Q2 2025. Additionally, we expect to share initial clinical data from the CTIM-76 Phase 1 trial in the first half of 2026 and from the CT-95 Phase 1 trial in mid-2026. As we continue to progress, our focus remains on delivering innovative therapies that address critical unmet medical needs in oncology," concluded Mr. Lehr.

The decrease was primarily driven by a decrease in insurance expense and compensation costs, partially offset by an increase in other administrative costs.Other income was $3.2 million for 2024, as compared to $1.1 million for 2023, primarily due to higher interest income earned on cash and cash equivalent balances.Context reported a net loss of $26.7 million for 2024, as compared to $24.0 million for 2023.
