New sites accelerate registrational study enrollment - 15 patients have been enrolled in the NEPHRO study which remains on track with completion projected by the end of the year Cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2025 were $6.8 million Conference call and webcast to be held Thursday, August 14, 2025 at 4:30 pm ET , /PRNewswire/ -- Talphera, Inc. (Nasdaq: TLPH), ("Talphera"), a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of innovative therapies for use in medically supervised settings, today announced second quarter 2025 financial results and provided a corporate update. "We have enrolled 15 patients in the NEPHRO clinical study and based on the recent accelerated rate of enrollment, we expect to complete the study by the end of the year," stated Vince Angotti, CEO of Talphera. "In the last six weeks, we have gained enrollment momentum from the new target profile clinical sites and study protocol changes. New sites have enrolled 90% of patients to date, providing confidence that we are on the right path. To further accelerate the positive enrollment trend, we expect to add six new clinical sites by the end of the third quarter, bringing the total number of sites up to 13, including nine with our target profile. We're excited about the recent progress of the study, and importantly, the consistent feedback from our sites that they are eager for nafamostat to be available as their preferred alternative to current CRRT anticoagulation products." Second Quarter 2025 and Recent Highlights As announced today, the Company has enrolled 15 patients in the NEPHRO clinical study, supporting the expected completion timeline of the clinical study by the end of 2025, and a planned PMA submission in the first quarter of 2026, assuming enrollment and site activation trends continue. 13 total clinical sites are anticipated by the end of the third quarter, which include four legacy sites, three currently enrolling target profile sites, and six new target profile sites that are expected to be enrolling patients in the third quarter. In April 2025, Talphera announced the closing of the first tranche of $4.9 million of a three-tranche financing for up to $14.8 million, including two committed tranches which will close upon achievement of 17 and 35 enrolled patients, and if Talphera's stock price trades at a price at or above $0.7325 for five consecutive days following the announcement of achieving the enrollment milestones. These conditions may be waived by the investors at any time. The financing was led by existing investors, Nantahala Capital and Rosalind Advisors, and includes a member of management. Second Quarter 2025 Financial Information The cash and cash equivalents balance was $6.8 million as of June 30, 2025. Combined R&D and SG&A expenses for the second quarter of 2025 totaled $3.7 million compared to $4.3 million for the second quarter of 2024. Excluding non-cash stock-based compensation expense, these amounts were $3.5 million for the second quarter of 2025, compared to $4.0 million for the second quarter of 2024. The decrease in combined R&D and SG&A expenses in the second quarter of 2025 was primarily due to reductions in personnel expense and other general and administrative expenses. For the second quarter of 2025, the Company recognized net loss from continuing operations of $3.5 million, as compared to net loss of $3.8 million for the second quarter of 2024, largely due to reductions in personnel expense in 2025 and the change in fair value of the Company's warrant liability, partially offset by the gain on sale of future payments in 2024. The divestment of DSUVIA represents a discontinued operation; accordingly, all historical operating results for the business are reflected within discontinued operations. There were no DSUVIA related expenses in the second quarter of 2025 or 2024. Net loss attributable to common shareholders for the second quarter of 2025 was $3.5 million, or $0.10 per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $3.8 million, or $0.15 per basic and diluted share, for the second quarter of 2024. 2025 Expense Guidance Cash operating expenses, or selling, general and administrative, and research and development expenses, excluding stock-based compensation, is expected to be in the range of $16 million to $17 million in 2025, which includes the expenses related to executing and completing the NEPHRO CRRT registration trial by the end of the year.  This is a reduction from the $17 million to $19 million range previously provided.
