Material Agreements [Abstract]
Material Agreements	Material Agreements JHU-APL Technology License In February 2018, the Company entered into an exclusive, world-wide, royalty-bearing license with JHU-APL (the “2018 License Agreement”). The license covers three (3) issued patents, one (1) new provisional patent application, non-patent rights to proprietary libraries of algorithms and other trade secrets, as well as modifications and improvements. In October 2021, the Company executed an amendment to the original license for improvements and new advanced analytics capabilities. In consideration of the rights granted to the Company under the 2018 License Agreement, JHU-APL received a warrant equal to five percent (5%) of the then fully diluted equity base of the Company, which was diluted following the closing of the Company’s initial public offering and subsequent financings. In July 2022, the Company entered into an exclusive, world-wide, royalty-bearing license from JHU-APL for the additional technology developed to enhance the bfLEAP™ platform (the “2022 License Agreement”). The new license provides additional intellectual property rights including patents, copyrights, and know-how to be utilized under the Company’s bfLEAP™ analytical AI/ML platform. This 2022 License Agreement supersedes the previous 2018 License Agreement. In consideration for entering into the new license, the Company issued 39,879 shares of common stock to JHU-APL. Under the terms of the 2022 License Agreement, JHU-APL will be entitled to eight percent (8%) of net sales for the services provided by the Company to other parties and three percent (3%) for internally developed drug projects in which the JHU-APL license is utilized. The new license also contains tiered sub licensing fees that start at 50% and decline to 25% based on revenues. In addition, under the 2022 License Agreement, the minimum annual royalty payments are $30,000 for 2022, $80,000 for 2023, and $300,000 per year for 2024 and beyond, all of which are creditable by royalties. If cumulative annual royalty payments do not reach these levels, the amount due to JHU-APL to reach the annual minimum is due by January 1st of the following year. Failure to make annual royalty payments is considered a material breach under the agreement and, upon notice from JHU-APL of a material breach, the Company will have 60 days to cure the material breach. The financial terms of the new license agreement replace the original terms within the 2018 License Agreement and are not duplicative. In May 2023, the Company and JHU-APL entered into Amendment Number 1 of the 2022 License Agreement whereby the Company gained access to certain improvements including additional patents and know-how in exchange for a series of payments totaling $275,000. The first of these payments for $75,000 was paid in July 2023, the second of these payments for $75,000 was paid in June 2025, and the remaining payments of $75,000 and $50,000 are due in 2026 and 2027, respectively. The amendment also reduced the 2023 minimum annual royalty payment from $80,000 to $60,000; all other financial terms remained the same. As of June 30, 2026, all minimum annual royalty payments through 2025 have been paid, the Company has accrued $150,000 of the $300,000 minimum annual royalty for 2026, and the Company has accrued $4,167 of the $75,000 annual license fee due in June 2027. The Company assessed whether the license should be capitalized and determined that the licensed program is in the early stage and therefore may not be recoverable. The Company expensed the license fee and will expense development costs until commercial viability is likely. George Washington University - Beta2-spectrin siRNA License In January 2022, the Company entered into an exclusive, world-wide, royalty-bearing license from George Washington University (“GWU”) for rights to use siRNA targeting Beta2-spectrin in the treatment of human diseases, including hepatocellular carcinoma. The license covers methods claimed in three U.S. and worldwide patent applications, and also includes use of this approach for treatment of obesity, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis. In consideration of the rights granted to the Company under the license agreement, the Company paid GWU a $20,000 license initiation fee in 2022. Under the terms of the license agreement, GWU will be entitled to a three percent (3%) royalty on net sales subject to quarterly minimums once the first sale has occurred subsequent to regulatory approval, as well as sublicense or assignment fees in the event the Company sublicenses or assigns their rights to use the technology. The Company will also reimburse GWU for previously incurred and ongoing patent costs. The sublicense and assignment fees decline as the Company advances the clinical development of the licensed technology. The license agreement also contains milestone payments for clinical development through the approval of a new drug application (“NDA”) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and commercialization. As of June 30, 2026, there has been no accrual for royalties since the Company has not begun to generate applicable revenue; however, the Company has accrued $10,000 of the $20,000 license maintenance fees for 2026. The Company assessed whether the license should be capitalized and determined that the licensed program is in the early stage and therefore may not be recoverable. The Company expensed the license fee and will expense development costs until commercial viability is likely. Johns Hopkins University – Mebendazole License In February 2022, the Company entered into an exclusive, world-wide, royalty-bearing license from Johns Hopkins University (“JHU”) for the use of an improved formulation of Mebendazole for the treatment of any human cancer or neoplastic disease. This formulation shows potent activity in animal models with different types of cancer and has been evaluated in a Phase 1 clinical trial in patients with high-grade glioma (NCT01729260). The trial, an open-label dose-escalation study, assessed the safety and efficacy of the improved formulation with adjuvant temozolomide in 24 patients with newly diagnosed gliomas. Investigators observed no dose-limiting toxicity in patients receiving all but the highest tested dose (200mg/kg/day). Four of the 15 patients receiving the maximum tested dose of 200mg/kg/day experienced dose-limiting toxicity, all of which were reversed by decreasing or eliminating the dose given. There were no serious adverse events attributed to Mebendazole at any dose during the trial. 41.7% of patients who received Mebendazole were alive at two years after enrollment, and 25% were alive at four years (Gallia et al., 2021). The license covers six (6) issued patents and one (1) pending application. In consideration of the rights granted to the Company under the license agreement, JHU received a staggered upfront license fee of $250,000, with $50,000 paid in 2022 and the remaining balance of $200,000 paid in 2023. The Company will also reimburse JHU for previously incurred and ongoing patent costs. Under the terms of the license agreement, JHU will be entitled to three and one-half percent (3.5%) royalty on net sales by the Company in which the JHU license was utilized. In addition, the Company is required to pay JHU minimum annual royalty payments of $5,000 for 2022, $10,000 for 2023, $20,000 for 2024, $30,000 for 2025 and $50,000 for 2026 and each year after until the first commercial sale, after which the annual minimum royalty shall be $250,000. The license agreement also contains milestone payments for clinical development steps through the approval of an NDA and commercialization. As of June 30, 2026, the accrued expense balance related to this license agreement was $25,000 of the $50,000 minimum annual royalty for 2026. The Company assessed whether the license should be capitalized and determined that the licensed program is in the early stage and therefore may not be recoverable. The Company expensed the license fee and will expense development costs until commercial viability is likely. Johns Hopkins University – Prodrug License In October 2022, the Company entered into an exclusive, world-wide, royalty-bearing license from JHU and the Institute of Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry (“IOCB”) of the Czech Academy of Sciences for rights to commercialize N-substituted prodrugs of Mebendazole that demonstrate improved solubility and bioavailability. The license covers prodrug compositions and use for treating disease as claimed in multiple U.S. and worldwide patent applications. In consideration for the rights granted to the Company under the license agreement, JHU and IOCB received a staggered upfront license fee of $100,000 and the Company reimbursed JHU and IOCB for previously incurred patent costs. Under the terms of the license agreement, JHU and IOCB will be entitled to a four percent (4.0%) royalty on net sales by the Company in which the JHU and IOCB license was utilized. In addition, the Company is required to pay JHU and IOCB minimum annual royalty payments of $5,000 for 2026, $10,000 for 2027, $20,000 for 2028, $30,000 for 2029 and $50,000 for 2030 and each year after until the first commercial sale, after which, the annual minimum royalty shall be $150,000. The license agreement also contains milestone payments for patent grants, clinical development steps through the approval of an NDA and commercialization. As of June 30, 2026, the balance of accrued expense related to this license agreement was $2,500 of the $5,000 minimum annual royalty for 2026. The Company assessed whether the license should be capitalized and determined that the licensed program is in the early stage and therefore may not be recoverable. The Company will expense the license fee and development costs until commercial viability is likely. Lieber Institute for Brain Development Partnership In September 2023, the Company entered into a Data Use and Technology Partnership Agreement (the “Data Use Agreement”) and a related Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with the Lieber Institute for Brain Development (“LIBD”), a nonprofit medical research organization focused on mental health disorders. The partnership is intended to combine LIBD’s proprietary brain-related datasets with the Company’s AI/ML capabilities to support drug discovery and development activities. Under the Data Use Agreement, LIBD granted the Company a limited, royalty-free, non-transferable license to access and use certain curated LIBD datasets solely for the application of AI/ML to drug development, excluding diagnostic uses. The license was exclusive for an initial one-year term beginning upon receipt of the first significant tranche of data and was subsequently extended. The Company is responsible for all costs associated with the development plan and is required to provide LIBD with the resulting deliverables upon completion of the exclusivity period. Pursuant to the MOU, the Company entered into a commercial agreement with LIBD governing the potential commercialization of products or services derived from LIBD data. Under the proposed structure, LIBD would receive royalties on net sales and a percentage of sublicense revenue, with rates varying based on the source of commercialization. The Company has also agreed to provide LIBD with any such products or services free of charge for LIBD’s internal research use. As of June 30, 2026, the balance of accrued expense for this partnership agreement was approximately $36,000 for estimated royalty fees resulting from revenue recognized during the period. Feasibility Agreement In March 2026, the Company entered into a feasibility agreement with a global pharmaceutical company (the “Client”). Pursuant to the agreement, the Company will apply its proprietary methodology and AI/ML learning tool, bfLEAP®, to discover and provide the Client with prioritized drug target candidates, associated causal gene networks with target near-neighbors unblinded, and target dossiers for advancement-ready drug candidates for major depressive disorder (MDD). The agreement will remain in full force and effect for one year from its execution. In connection with the agreement, the Company is eligible to receive pre-determined milestone payments upon the delivery of certain deliverables to the Client. The Client will have the option to receive the exclusive right to use a selected “final target” drug candidate for its research and development purposes for a period of three years. See Note 4 for details over revenue recognition.
