| SAN DIEGO, Feb. 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Kintara Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: KTRA) (“Kintara” or the “Company”), a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of new solid tumor cancer therapies, today announced financial results for its fiscal second quarter ended December 31, 2021 and provided a corporate update. CORPORATE HIGHLIGHTS AND RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
“I am pleased by the progress we have made over the past quarter, highlighted by the enrollment rates in the GCAR AGILE Study for GBM, which has outperformed our expectations,” commented Robert E. Hoffman, Kintara’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our 15-patient confirmatory study of REM-001 for cutaneous metastatic breast cancer remains on track to start enrolling patients in the second quarter of calendar year 2022.” SUMMARY OF FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2022 SECOND QUARTER ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2021 At December 31, 2021, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $14.0 million. For the three months ended December 31, 2021, the Company reported a net loss of approximately $5.9 million, or $0.12 per share, compared to a net loss of approximately $5.4 million, or $0.22 per share, for the three months ended December 31, 2020. For the six months ended December 31, 2021, the Company reported a net loss of approximately $11.9 million, or $0.35 per share, compared to a net loss of approximately $24.9 million, or $1.34 per share, for the six months ended December 31, 2020. The decreased loss for the six months ended December 31, 2021 compared to the six months ended December 31, 2020 was largely due to the recognition of $16.1 million of non-cash expenses related to the acquisition of in-process research and development costs associated with the Adgero transaction in August 2020.

ABOUT KINTARA Located in San Diego, California, Kintara is dedicated to the development of novel cancer therapies for patients with unmet medical needs. Kintara is developing two late-stage, Phase 3-ready therapeutics for clear unmet medical needs with reduced risk development programs. The two programs are VAL-083 for GBM and REM-001 for CMBC. VAL-083 is a “first-in-class”, small-molecule chemotherapeutic with a novel mechanism of action that has demonstrated clinical activity against a range of cancers, including central nervous system, ovarian and other solid tumors (e.g., NSCLC, bladder cancer, head and neck) in U.S. clinical trials sponsored by the National Cancer Institute (NCI). Based on Kintara’s internal research programs and these prior NCI-sponsored clinical studies, Kintara is currently advancing VAL-083 in the GBM AGILE Study to support the development and commercialization of VAL-083 in GBM. Kintara is also advancing its proprietary, late-stage photodynamic therapy platform that holds promise as a localized cutaneous, or visceral, tumor treatment as well as in other potential indications. REM-001 therapy has been previously studied in four Phase 2/3 clinical trials in patients with CMBC who had previously received chemotherapy and/or failed radiation therapy. With clinical efficacy to date of 80% complete responses of CMBC evaluable lesions, and with an existing robust safety database of approximately 1,100 patients across multiple indications, Kintara is advancing the REM-001 CMBC program to late-stage pivotal testing.
