Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Organization | Organization Summit Therapeutics Inc. (“we”, “Summit” or the “Company”) is a biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, development, and commercialization of patient-, physician-, caregiver- and societal-friendly medicinal therapies intended to improve quality of life, increase potential duration of life, and resolve serious unmet medical needs. The Company’s pipeline of product candidates is designed with the goal to become the patient-friendly, new-era standard-of-care medicines, in the therapeutic area of oncology. The Company’s current lead development candidate is ivonescimab, a novel, potential first-in-class bispecific antibody intending to combine the effects of immunotherapy via a blockade of PD-1 with the anti-angiogenesis effects of an anti-VEGF compound into a single molecule. On December 5, 2022, the Company entered into a Collaboration and License Agreement (the “License Agreement”) with Akeso, Inc. and its affiliates (collectively, “Akeso”) pursuant to which the Company has in-licensed intellectual property related to ivonescimab, as further described in Note 4. Through the License Agreement, the Company obtained the rights to develop and commercialize ivonescimab in the United States, Canada, Europe, and Japan. The License Agreement and transaction closed in January 2023 following customary waiting periods. On June 3, 2024, the Company entered into an amendment to the License Agreement (the “Second Amendment”) with Akeso to expand its territories covered under the License Agreement to also include the Latin America, Middle East and Africa regions (collectively, and as expanded, the “Licensed Territory”). The Company’s operations are focused on the development of ivonescimab and other future activities, as the Company determines. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, certain information and disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements are not included herein. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The interim financial data as of June 30, 2025 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, the interim data includes all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods. The condensed consolidated balance sheet presented as of December 31, 2024 has been derived from the consolidated audited financial statements as of that date. The results of the period are not necessarily indicative of full year results or any other interim period. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto of the Company which are included in the Company’s Annual Report. The financial results of the Company’s activities are reported in United States Dollars. Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior years’ financial statements to conform to current year presentation. Use of Estimates The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of incomes and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to accrued research and development expenses, stock-based compensation, other long-lived assets and income taxes. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Liquidity and Capital Resources During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company incurred a net loss of $565,708 and $628,621, respectively, and cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $127,912. As of June 30, 2025, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $1,843,194 and cash and cash equivalents of $297,872. The Company expects to continue to generate operating losses for the foreseeable future. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are not sufficient to fund the Company’s planned operations for a period of at least one year from the date these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. Until the Company can generate substantial revenue and achieve profitability, the Company will need to raise additional capital to fund its ongoing operations and capital needs. The Company continues to evaluate options to further finance its operating cash needs for its product candidates through a combination of some, or all, of the following: equity and debt offerings, collaborations, strategic alliances, grants and clinical trial support from government entities, philanthropic, non-government and not-for-profit organizations, and marketing, distribution or licensing arrangements. There is no assurance, however, that additional financing will be available when needed or that management of the Company will be able to obtain financing on terms acceptable to the Company. If the Company is unable to obtain funding when required in the future, the Company could be required to delay or reduce research and development programs, product portfolio expansion, or future commercialization efforts, which could adversely affect its business prospects. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of the business. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
