Organization and Description of Business | ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS Daré Bioscience, Inc. is a biopharmaceutical company driven by a mission to challenge the status quo, making women's health a priority. Daré Bioscience, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries operate one segment. In this report, the “Company” refers collectively to Daré Bioscience, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, unless otherwise stated or the context otherwise requires. The Company began assembling its diverse portfolio of assets in 2017 through acquisitions, exclusive in-licenses and other collaborations. The Company's programs target unmet needs in women's health, primarily in the areas of contraception, sexual health, pelvic pain, fertility, infectious disease, vaginal health and menopause, and aim to enhance outcomes and convenience. The Company’s primary operations have consisted of, and are expected to continue to consist primarily of, research and development activities to advance its product candidates through clinical development and regulatory approval. In March 2025, the Company announced that it was expanding its business strategy to include Section 503B compounding as a dual-path approach to bring certain of its proprietary formulations to market as soon as practicable while it continues to pursue FDA approval of its product candidates. The Company uses the term "Section 503B compounding" to refer to the production and supply of compounded drugs by outsourcing facilities registered under Section 503B of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, or FDCA, without patient-specific prescriptions in accordance with Section 503B of the FDCA. The Company's portfolio of product candidates includes drug and drug/device product candidates and potential product candidates in various stages of development. The first U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved product to emerge from the Company's portfolio is XACIATO™ (clindamycin phosphate) vaginal gel 2%, or XACIATO. In 2022, the Company licensed exclusive worldwide rights to develop, manufacture and commercialize XACIATO to an affiliate of Organon & Co., Organon International GmbH, or Organon. Organon commenced U.S. marketing of XACIATO in the fourth quarter of 2023 and, in January 2024, Organon announced that XACIATO was available nationwide. In April 2024, the Company sold its rights to all royalty and potential milestone payments based on net sales of XACIATO under its agreement with Organon, net of its obligations to certain third parties, to XOMA (US) LLC, or XOMA, until XOMA receives a specified return on its investment, after which the Company will share equally in the royalty and milestone payments earned on net sales of XACIATO from Organon.
