Description of Business
RenovoRx, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the state of Delaware in December 2012 and operates from its headquarters in Mountain View, California. The Company is a commercial and clinical stage life sciences company offering RenovoCath®, a novel, U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) cleared local drug delivery device, targeting high unmet medical needs with a present focus on difficult to treat cancers.
The Company’s clinical stage lead product candidate is a novel drug-device combination product consisting of intra-arterial delivery of the chemotherapy gemcitabine via RenovoCath which the Company refers to as “IAG.” IAG is currently the subject of a Phase III clinical study for the treatment of locally advanced pancreatic cancer (“LAPC”).
The Company is also commercializing RenovoCath as a standalone device for use by interventional radiologists, oncologists, and other medical professionals who can use the device to treat patients within its FDA-cleared fields of use. RenovoCath is indicated for temporary vessel occlusion in applications including arteriography, preoperative occlusion, and chemotherapeutic drug infusion.
RenovoCath utilizes the patented Trans-Arterial Micro-Perfusion (“TAMP™”) therapy platform, which is designed to ensure targeted therapeutic delivery across the arterial wall near the tumor site to bathe the target tumor, while potentially minimizing a therapy’s toxicities versus systemic intravenous therapy, including chemotherapy. The Company’s novel approach to targeted treatment offers the potential for increased safety, tolerance, and improved efficacy. The Company holds a robust portfolio of 19 issued patents and 11 pending patents covering our TAMP technology.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
From the Company’s inception through June 30, 2025, it has raised an aggregate of $71.4 million, primarily from private placements of convertible preferred stock, convertible debt securities, the issuance of securities in the Company’s August 2021 initial public offering (the “IPO”), registered and unregistered sales of common stock and common stock warrants and the exercise of common stock warrants and common stock options. After deducting underwriting discounts and commissions, placement agent fees and other offering expenses, the Company’s net proceeds raised since inception were $64.3 million. As of June 30, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $12.3 million. As used herein, the term “common stock” refers to the Company’s common stock, par value $ per share.
The Company has incurred significant losses and negative cash flows from operations since its inception. At June 30, 2025, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $55.5 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company reported a net loss of $5.3 million. The Company does not expect to generate positive cash flows from operations unless and until its commercialization activities for RenovoCath as a standalone device (which activities remain in the relatively early stages) generate sufficient revenues. The Company expects to continue to incur significant losses until regulatory approval is granted for its first drug-device combination product candidate, IAG, or until revenues from RenovoCath commercialization increase substantially. Regulatory approval is not guaranteed and may never be obtained, and the Company’s plans to grow RenovoCath revenue may not be achieved at levels anticipated, or at all. The Company may also pursue other revenue-generating strategies such as licensing or collaboration agreements. No assurances can be made that the Company will pursue these strategies, and even if it does, there is a risk that the Company will be unable to generate revenue from such activities.
The Company believes it will be able to raise additional capital through debt financings, private or public equity financings, license agreements, collaborative agreements or other arrangements with other companies, or other sources of financing. There can be no assurance that such financing will be available or will be at terms acceptable to the Company. The inability to raise capital as and when needed would have a negative impact on the Company’s liquidity, financial condition and its ability to pursue its business strategy. The Company will need to generate significant revenue to achieve profitability, and it may never do so.
The Company has filed an omnibus shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-268302) (the “Shelf Registration Statement”) that provides for the aggregate offerings of up to $50.0 million of the Company’s securities subject to various limitations, including limited sales in any twelve-month period while the Company is subject to the “baby-shelf” rules.
The Company has also filed a registration statement on Form S-1 to register the cash exercise of the Company’s outstanding IPO, underwriter and private warrants. Cash exercise of these outstanding warrants is only expected to occur (if at all) when the trading price of the common stock is in excess of the $10.80 per share exercise price of such outstanding warrants.
On April 3, 2023, the Company completed a registered direct offering (“RDO”) utilizing its Shelf Registration Statement for the purchase and sale of shares of common stock (or pre-funded common stock warrants) to a certain institutional investor. In a concurrent private placement, the Company issued to the investor unregistered common warrants to purchase up to 1,947,040 shares of common stock (the “April 2023 Warrant”). The aggregate gross proceeds from this offering were $5.0 million, and the net offering proceeds were $4.3 million after deducting placement agent fees and placement agent’s expenses of $0.4 million and other professional expenses of $0.3 million.
On January 26, 2024, the Company completed a private placement to 92 accredited investors with gross proceeds of $6.1 million before deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses of approximately $0.7 million. In this private placement, the Company issued shares of its common stock and common warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 6,133,414 shares of common stock, which expire five years from the issuance date, or January 26, 2029. In connection with such private placement, the Company entered into a placement agent agreement as additional compensation to the placement agent, and issued common warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 511,940 shares of common stock, which warrants expire five years from the issuance date. The significant majority of the warrants issued in this private placement have an exercise price of $0.99 per share. The warrants purchased by directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company in this private placement have an exercise price of $1.22 per share.
On April 11, 2024, the Company completed another private placement offering to 172 accredited investors, issuing common stock, pre-funded warrants, Series A warrants, and Series B warrants. The aggregate gross proceeds from this offering were $11.1 million, and the net offering proceeds were $9.6 million after deducting placement agent fees of $1.3 million and other professional expenses of $0.2 million. In conjunction with the issuance of shares of common stock, the Company bundled the offering with: (i) a pre-funded warrant exercisable for 951,500 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.0001 per share, with an unlimited term and immediate exercisability upon issuance, subject to specific beneficial ownership limitations; (ii) Series A warrants exercisable for 7,912,364 shares of common stock at $1.22 per share, valid for 5 years and immediately exercisable subject to customary adjustments and beneficial ownership limitations; (iii) Series B warrants exercisable for 3,956,182 shares of common stock at $1.22 per share, valid for 2 years and immediately exercisable subject to customary adjustments and beneficial ownership limitations, with the Company retaining the right to call these warrants under certain conditions. Additionally, as compensation to the placement agent, the Company issued warrants on the same date, to purchase up to an aggregate of 701,243 shares of common stock (the “April 2024 PA Warrants”) at $1.69 per share over a 5-year term, with provisions for cashless exercise if the shares are unregistered or no current prospectus is available for resale. The April 2024 PA Warrants become exercisable on October 11, 2024, subject to specific beneficial ownership limitations and customary adjustments.
On February 10, 2025, the Company closed an underwritten public offering of common stock, utilizing its Shelf Registration Statement (the “February 2025 Offering”) and received gross proceeds of approximately $12.1 million. The net proceeds were $10.8 million after deducting underwriting fees of $0.8 million and other professional expenses of $0.5 million. The Company issued an aggregate shares of its common stock in this offering and issued to the underwriters of this offering underwriter warrants to purchase 576,191 shares of common stock at $ per share over a 5-year term.
The accompanying condensed interim financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern and has reviewed the relevant conditions and events surrounding its ability to continue as a going concern including among others: historical losses, projected future results, negative cash flows from operations, including cash requirements for the upcoming year, funding capacity, net working capital, total stockholders’ equity and future access to capital. Based upon this review and the Company’s current financial condition and operating plans, the Company has concluded that its current cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund its operations through at least the next 12 months from the issuance of this Report.
