As for NXP800, over the next few months, we plan to explore potential opportunities of NXP800 in cancer types such as endometrial and prostate." Mr. Bentsur added, "On the financial side, in July we strengthened our cash position following the acquisition of shares by a healthcare specialized institutional investor through our ATM facility, bringing our second quarter end proforma cash to approximately $39 million, which we expect can fund our operations into 2H 2027.” Mr. Bentsur concluded, “The last few months have been very significant for Nuvectis, and we believe that we are well positioned to deliver on our ambitious plan for NXP900.” Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results Cash and cash equivalents were $26.8 million as of June 30, 2025, compared to $18.5 million as of December 31, 2024.
