This year, Alzamend entered into a securities purchase agreement with an institutional investor to purchase up to $25 million of preferred stock and warrants over a two-year period. In addition, Alzamend entered into an at-the-market sales agreement, with the right of Alzamend to strategically sell up to $6.5 million of common stock at its option. Please see Alzamendβs Commission filings for additional information regarding these agreements and the terms of such financing transactions.
βThese financing transactions have allowed us to greatly improve our financial situationβ said Stephan Jackman, Chief Executive Officer of Alzamend. βIn the first six months of this fiscal year, we have gone from a stockholder deficit to several million in stockholder equity, significantly reduced our outstanding liabilities and increased our cash on hand. These financial improvements allowed us to regain compliance with all applicable requirements for our stock to continue to be listed on Nasdaq and provides us with the capital in preparation of the upcoming clinical trials to be initiated in 2025.β
ALZN The accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern. As of October 31, 2024, the Company had cash of $4.1 million, working capital of $3.5 million, an accumulated deficit of $56.4 million and stockholdersβ equity of $3.8 million. For the three and six months ended October 31, 2024, the Company had net losses of $1.4 million and $2.4 million, respectively. For the six months ended October 31, 2024, cash used in operating activities was $4.5 million. Historically, the Company has financed its operations principally through issuances of equity and debt instruments.
We intend to develop and commercialize therapeutics and vaccines that are better than existing treatments and have the potential to significantly improve the lives of individuals afflicted by Alzheimerβs, BD, MDD and PTSD. To achieve these goals, we are pursuing the following key business strategies:
Β· Advance clinical development of AL001 for Alzheimerβs, BD, MDD and PTSD treatment;
Β· Advance clinical development of ALZN002 for Alzheimerβs treatment;
Β· Expand our pipeline of pharmaceuticals to include additional indications for AL001 and delivery methods;
Β· Focus on translational and functional endpoints to efficiently develop product candidates; and
Β· Optimize the value of AL001 and ALZN002 in major markets.
Our pipeline consists of two novel therapeutic drug candidates:
Β· AL001 - A patented ionic cocrystal technology delivering a therapeutic combination of lithium, salicylate and proline through three royalty-bearing exclusive worldwide licenses from the University of South Florida Research Foundation, Inc., as licensor (the βLicensorβ); and
Β· ALZN002 - A patented method using a mutant peptide sensitized cell as a cell-based therapeutic vaccine that seeks to restore the ability of a patientβs immunological system to combat Alzheimerβs throu
Our most advanced product candidate (lead product) licensed and in clinical development in humans is AL001, an ionic cocrystal of lithium for the treatment of Alzheimerβs, BD, MDD and PTSD. Based on our preclinical data involving mice models, AL001 treatment prevented cognitive deficits, depression and irritability and is superior in improving associative learning and memory and irritability compared with lithium carbonate treatments, supporting the potential of this lithium formulation for the treatment of Alzheimerβs, BD, MDD and PTSD in humans. Lithium has been marketed for more than 35 years and human toxicology regarding lithium use has been well characterized, potentially mitigating the regulatory burden for safety data.
