1. Corporate Overview
Overview
Inhibitor Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”, “INTI”, “we”, “us” or similar terminology), is a pharmaceutical development company that is focused on developing and ultimately commercializing innovative therapeutics based on already approved active pharmaceuticals that have patent-protected methods of use and/or methods of delivery for patients with certain cancers and certain non-cancerous proliferation disorders. The Company also has explored and expects to continue to explore acquiring or licensing other innovative pre-clinical and clinical stage therapeutics addressing unmet needs for the treatment of cancer and other diseases based on repurposing active ingredients of already approved drugs.
The accompanying condensed financial statements of the Company have been prepared without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows as of September 30, 2024, and for all periods presented, have been made.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and regulations. These unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2023, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, which was filed with the SEC on March 29, 2024 (the “2023 Annual Report”). The accompanying condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.
As used herein, the term “common stock” means the Company’s common stock, $ par value per share.
The results of operations for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full fiscal year. Readers of this Quarterly Report are strongly encouraged to review the risk factors relating to the Company which are set forth in the 2023 Annual Report and the Company’s other filings with the SEC.
Nature of the Business
The Company’s primary focus is on the development of therapies initially for basal cell carcinoma nevus syndrome (“BCCNS”), prostate and lung cancers in the United States utilizing itraconazole, a drug currently approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) to treat fungal infections, and which has an extensive history of safe and effective use in humans. The Company has developed intellectual property and know-how related to the treatment of cancer patients using itraconazole.
On December 12, 2023, the Company entered into an Exclusive License Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Johns Hopkins University (“JHU”). Pursuant to the Agreement, JHU granted to the Company the exclusive worldwide patent rights to a Granted US Patent, No. 8,980,930 entitled “New Angiogenesis Inhibitors” (the “Patent”). The Patent relates to the treatment of prostate cancer, basal cell carcinoma (“BCC”) including BCCNS, and lung cancer.

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2024 AND 2023
(Unaudited)
In May 2024, the Company formally requested a Type-B, pre-investigational new drug application (“pre-IND”) meeting with the FDA to obtain feedback on the overall drug development and regulatory plan to use itraconazole for the treatment of BCC tumors in BCCNS patients, for which the Company has engaged the services of external experts in the field to assist with the process. The Company’s Phase 2b clinical study (HP2001) uses a novel formulation of itraconazole, which is referenced in the pre-IND submission.
The Company was granted a meeting in late June 2024 with the Dermatology Division of the FDA, which the Company subsequently cancelled (with acknowledgement from the FDA), as the Company believed it required input from the FDA’s Division of Oncology. Additionally, the FDA required further understanding of the right of use to the HP2001 study to further discuss some of the Pre-IND questions. The FDA has agreed to consult the Division of Oncology as necessary and the Company believes it has provided sufficient information around the right of use to proceed with the Pre-IND.
2. Liquidity and Management’s Plans
The
Company is presently focused on its business plan of developing and ultimately commercializing innovative therapeutics based on already
approved active pharmaceuticals that have patent-protected methods of use and/or methods of delivery. The Company continues to progress
with the FDA during 2024 to reach a conclusion on whether any additional clinical trials are required before submitting a New Drug Application
(“NDA”). Management believes that the current cash on hand, approximately $
3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Estimates
The preparation of condensed financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
The
Company currently has no ongoing source of revenue. Miscellaneous income, including interest, is recognized when earned by the Company.
Deferred revenue represents cash received for royalties in advance of being earned. Such payments are reflected as deferred revenue until
recognized under the Company’s revenue recognition policy. Deferred revenue would be classified as current if management believes
the Company will be able to recognize the deferred amount as revenue within twelve months of the balance sheet date. Deferred revenue
will be recognized when the product is sold and the royalty is earned. Since all deferred revenue is related to the BCCNS product, which
is yet to be approved by FDA, the Company has determined that

Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At times, the Company may maintain cash balances in bank accounts in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured amounts. The Company continues to monitor the third-party depository institutions that hold the Company’s cash and limits its cash deposits to financial institutions with high credit standing.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development (“R&D”) costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred and include salaries, benefits and other related costs to support the Company’s R&D operations, amounts paid to third parties who conduct research and development activities on behalf of the Company, as well as the costs of discovery research, preclinical and clinical development, drug formulation and licensing payments. Upfront and advanced licensing payments for future use in R&D activities are recorded as prepaid expenses and are expensed as the related services are performed.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based awards to employees and non-employees using a fair value-based method to determine compensation for all arrangements where shares of stock or equity instruments are issued for compensation. Fair values of restricted stock units issued are determined by the Company based predominantly on the trading price of the common stock on the date of grant. The fair value of each common stock option is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes valuation model that uses assumptions for expected volatility, expected dividends, expected term, and the risk-free interest rate. Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of a peer group’s common stock and other factors estimated over the expected term of the options. The expected term of the options granted is derived using the “simplified method” which computes the expected term as the average of the weighted-average vesting term and the contract term. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield.
Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributed to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and are measured using enacted tax rates that are expected to apply to the differences in the periods that they are expected to reverse.
Recent accounting pronouncements
Management has considered all recent accounting pronouncements issued, but not effective, and does not believe that any will have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.
4. Related Party Transactions
The Company has engaged Avior Bio, Inc. (“Avior”), which is currently creating a novel formulation of itraconazole from which results are expected in the next several months. Avior is a privately held drug development company whose President and Chairman of the Board, Niraj Vasisht, is a member of the Company’s Board of Directors. Upon finalization of the formulation, Avior will conduct a pharmacokinetic (PK) crossover study to the generic formulation and the formulation that was used within the HP2001 study in preparation for a new IND and NDA. Given all formulations consist of the same active pharmaceutical ingredients (API), it is expected that the Company’s new, novel formulation will have extremely similar properties to the formulation used in the HP2001 clinical study.

5. Stockholders’ Equity
Employee Stock Plans
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company granted restricted shares of common stock with an aggregate grant date fair value of approximately $ million to the members of the Board of Directors under the equity incentive plan. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company granted restricted shares of common stock with an aggregate grant date fair value of approximately $ million to the members of the Board of Directors under the equity incentive plan. The shares of common stock were fully vested upon issuance but are restricted from trading for a period of one year from the date of grant.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company issued common stock options with an exercise price of $ per share and a weighted-average grant date fair value of $ per share. The aggregate fair value of the options issued was approximately $ million, as determined by using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The weighted-average assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the options issued during the period were as follows: risk-free interest rate: %; expected term: years; expected volatility: %; and dividend yield. The options are fully vested upon issuance and the contractual terms expire in 2034. There were stock options issued during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
As of September 30, 2024, there were outstanding common stock options under the Company’s equity incentive plan of which % were vested. There was no unamortized stock-based compensation as of September 30, 2024. The weighted-average remaining contractual life, weighted-average exercise price per share and the aggregate intrinsic value of the outstanding common stock options as of September 30, 2024 were years, $ and approximately $ million, respectively.
6. Legal Proceedings
The Company may from time to time become a party to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company is not currently the subject of any pending legal proceedings.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Financial Statements and Notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. This discussion contains certain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. The Company’s actual results and the timing of certain events could differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including, but not limited to, those set forth herein and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report and in the Company’s other filings with the SEC. See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements” below.
As used in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, unless otherwise indicated, the terms “the Company”, “we”, “us”, “our” and similar terminology refer to Inhibitor Therapeutics, Inc.
Background of Our Company
We are a pharmaceutical development company that is focused on developing and ultimately commercializing innovative therapeutics based on already approved active pharmaceuticals that have patent-protected methods of use and/or methods of delivery for patients with certain cancers and certain non-cancerous proliferation disorders. We also have explored and expect to continue to explore acquiring or licensing other innovative pre-clinical and clinical stage therapeutics addressing unmet needs for the treatment of cancer and other diseases based on repurposing active ingredients of already approved drugs.
Our current primary focus is on the development of therapies initially for BCCNS, prostate and lung cancers in the United States utilizing itraconazole, a drug currently approved by the FDA to treat fungal infections, and which has an extensive history of safe and effective use in humans. We have developed intellectual property and know-how related to the treatment of cancer patients using itraconazole.
On December 12, 2023, we entered into an Exclusive License Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Johns Hopkins University (“JHU”). Pursuant to the Agreement, JHU granted our Company the exclusive worldwide patent rights to a Granted US Patent, No. 8,980,930 entitled “New Angiogenesis Inhibitors” (the “Patent”). The Patent relates to the treatment of prostate cancer, BCC including BCCNS, and lung cancer.
In May 2024, we formally requested a Type-B, pre-investigational new drug application (“pre-IND”) meeting with the FDA to obtain feedback on the overall drug development and regulatory plan to use itraconazole for the treatment of BCC tumors in BCCNS patients, for which we have engaged the services of external experts in the field to assist with the process. Our Phase 2b clinical study (HP2001) uses a novel formulation of itraconazole, which we reference in our pre-IND submission.

Critical Accounting Policies
Our critical accounting policies require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. These estimates are based on historical experience, the advice of external experts or on other assumptions management believes to be reasonable. Where actual amounts differ from estimates, revisions are included in the results for the period in which actual amounts become known. Historically, differences between estimates and actual amounts have not had a significant impact on our financial statements. Critical accounting policies and estimates used to prepare the financial statements are discussed with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors as they are implemented and on an annual basis.
We have no material changes to our Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates disclosure as filed in our 2023 Annual Report.
Results of Operations
For the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023
Research and Development Expenses. We incurred $0.3 million of research and development expenses during each of the three months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023. The expenses are primarily internal personnel costs, consisting of salaries, benefits and other related costs, as well as amounts paid to third parties to support our research and development activities and remained consistent quarter-over-quarter. We expect research and development expenses to increase in the future, depending on the results from our upcoming FDA meeting.
General and Administrative Expenses. We incurred approximately $0.5 million in general and administrative expenses during each of the three months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, general and administrative expenses were composed primarily of compensation costs of $0.2 million, professional services fees of $0.2 million and insurance costs of $0.1 million and remained consistent quarter-over-quarter.
Interest income. We earned approximately $0.1 million of interest income during each of the three months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023. The interest income is generated from deposits held in our depository accounts.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023
Research and Development Expenses. We incurred $0.8 million and $0.7 million of research and development expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively. The expenses are primarily internal personnel costs, consisting of salaries, benefits and other related costs, as well as amounts paid to third parties to support our research and development activities and remained consistent with the prior year-to-date period. The increase in research and development expenses is the result of the necessary costs to support the incremental R&D activity during the current year. We expect research and development expenses will continue to increase in the future, depending on the results from our upcoming FDA meeting.
General and Administrative Expenses. We incurred approximately $1.4 million in general and administrative expenses during each of the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, general and administrative expenses are composed primarily of compensation costs of $0.7 million, professional services fees of $0.4 million and insurance costs of $0.3 million and remained consistent quarter-over-quarter.
Interest income. We earned approximately $0.3 million of interest income during each of the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023. The interest income is generated from deposits held in our depository accounts.
10 |
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We are presently focused on our business plan of developing and ultimately commercializing innovative therapeutics based on already approved active pharmaceuticals that have patent-protected methods of use and/or methods of delivery. We continue to progress with the FDA during 2024 to reach a conclusion on whether any additional clinical trials are required before submitting our New Drug Application (NDA). We believe that our current cash on hand, approximately $6.4 million as of September 30, 2024, is sufficient to continue to execute our business plan as currently anticipated, assuming we get favorable guidance from the FDA such that we do not require additional clinical trials, however there can be no assurances of this outcome in the near term. Based on our current operational plan and budget, we expect that we will have sufficient cash to manage our business and continue to pursue other drug development opportunities, as needed. As capital requirements for additional opportunities are determined, or additional clinical trials, we will consider raising additional capital in the public market, if necessary and on commercially reasonable terms.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
None.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, the Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer (the “Certifying Officers”), conducted evaluations of our disclosure controls and procedures. As defined under Sections 13a–15I and 15d–15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the term “disclosure controls and procedures” means controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. Disclosure controls and procedures include without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including the Certifying Officers, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Based on this evaluation, the Certifying Officers have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our third fiscal quarter of 2024 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls
Readers are cautioned that our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will necessarily prevent all fraud and material error. An internal control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our control have been detected. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any control design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
