REHOVOT, Israel, August 6, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Purple Biotech Ltd. (“Purple Biotech” or “the Company”) (NASDAQ/TASE: PPBT), a clinical-stage company developing first-in-class therapies that seek to overcome tumor immune evasion and drug resistance, announced today financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2025.
“Our CAPTN-3 tri-specific antibody platform is differentiated not only by its masked CD3 arm for conditional T cell activation, but also by the addition of an NKG2A arm for additional T cell and NK cell activation, and a third arm targeting the tumor-associated antigen. This approach is supported by other masked TCEs showing early safety and efficacy signals,” stated Purple Biotech CEO Gil Efron. “We are focusing our activities on advancing IM1240, our first CAPTN-3 antibody, through IND-enabling studies, with the goal of initiating a Phase 1 study in 2026. Additionally, we have now established a clear path forward for CM24 for its Phase 2b study, utilizing the predictive biomarkers we observed in the Phase 2 trial, and we are seeking partners or investment to support this next study.”
Recent Clinical and Corporate Highlights:

| ● | 61% reduction in risk of death and 72% reduction in risk of progression or death in patients with defined pretreatment ranges of serum CEACAM1 or myeloperoxidase (MPO) and 31% ORR in this subgroup compared to 0% in the respective control group. |
| ● | 90% reduction in risk of death and 81% reduction in risk of progression or death in high tumor CEACAM1 and low PD-L1 combined positive score (CPS) subgroup |
| ● | The biomarkers identified in the CM24 Phase 2 study are planned to be used for patient selection in the Phase 2b study |
NT219 (IRS1/2 degrader and STAT3 blocker)
| ● | Biomarker insights from the Phase 1 study were presented at AACR Annual Meeting 2025 |
| ● | Initiated NT219 Phase 2 study in recurrent and/or metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (R/M SCCHN) to evaluate NT219 in combination with pembrolizumab (Keytruda) or cetuximab (Erbitux) |
| ● | Phase 2 study is led by Dr. Antonio Jimeno, Professor and Director of the Head and Neck Cancer Program, and Principal Investigator Dr. Alice Weaver, at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus. |
Financial Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2025
Research and Development Expenses were $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, reflecting a decrease of $1.8 million, or 76.9%, from $2.4 million in the same period of 2024. The decrease was primarily due to reduced costs associated with the CM24 Phase 2 study.
General and Administrative Expenses were $0.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $1.1 million in the same period of 2024, representing a decrease of $0.4 million, or 36.0%, mainly due to a $0.2 million decrease in a non-cash expense and $0.2 million reduction in cash and non-cash salaries and related expenses.
Operating Loss was $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, a decrease of $2.2 million, or 64.3%, compared to $3.5 million in the same period of 2024, mainly due to the decrease in the CM24 Phase 2 study expenses.
Adjusted Operating Loss (as reconciled below) was $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, a decrease of $2.0 million, compared to $3.2 million in the same period of 2024, primarily due to the decrease in the CM24 Phase 2 study expenses.
Finance Income, net was $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $1.0 million in the same period of 2024, representing a decrease of $0.9 million, primarily attributable to a decrease in non-cash gain resulting from the revaluation of outstanding warrants.
Net Loss was $1.1 million, or $0.40 per basic and diluted ADS for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to a net loss of $2.4 million, or $1.80 per basic and diluted ADS, in the same period of 2024. The decrease in net loss was mainly due to the $2.2 million decrease in operating expenses and $0.9 million decrease in finance income, net.
As of June 30, 2025, Purple Biotech had cash and cash equivalents and short-term deposits of $5.6 million. The Company cash runway is expected into the third quarter of 2026.
About Purple Biotech
Purple Biotech Ltd. (NASDAQ/TASE: PPBT) is a clinical-stage company developing first-in-class therapies that seek to overcome tumor immune evasion and drug resistance. The Company’s oncology pipeline includes CAPTN-3, CM24 and NT219. The Company is advancing CAPTN-3, a preclinical platform of conditionally activated tri-specific antibodies, which engage both T cells and NK cells to induce a strong, localized immune response within the tumor microenvironment. The cleavable capping technology confines the compound’s therapeutic activity to the local tumor microenvironment, thereby potentially increasing the anticipated therapeutic window in patients. The third arm specifically targets the Tumor Associated Antigen (TAA). The technology presents a novel mechanism of action by unleashing both innate and adaptive immune systems to mount an optimal anti-tumoral immune response. IM1240 is the first tri-specific antibody in development that targets the 5T4 antigen, which is expressed in a variety of solid tumors and is associated with advanced disease, increased invasiveness, and poor clinical outcomes. CM24 is a humanized monoclonal antibody that blocks CEACAM1, which supports tumor immune evasion and survival through multiple pathways. CEACAM1 on tumor cells, immune cells and neutrophil extracellular traps is a novel target for the treatment of multiple cancer indications. As proof of concept of these novel pathways, the Company completed a Phase 2 study for the treatment of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) with CM24 as a combination therapy with the anti-PD-1 checkpoint inhibitor nivolumab and chemotherapy, demonstrating clear and consistent improvement across all efficacy endpoints and the identification of two potential serum biomarkers and other potential tissue biomarkers. NT219 is a dual inhibitor, novel small molecule that simultaneously targets IRS1/2 and STAT3. A Phase 1 dose escalation study was concluded as a monotherapy and in combination with cetuximab, in which NT219 demonstrated anti-tumor activity in combination with cetuximab in second-line patients with recurrent and/or metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (R/M SCCHN). A Phase 2 study in collaboration with the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, to treat R/M SCCHN patients with NT219 in combination with cetuximab or pembrolizumab was initiated. The Company’s corporate headquarters are located in Rehovot, Israel. For more information, please visit https://purple-biotech.com/.
Non-IFRS Financial Measures
This press release includes information about certain financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), including adjusted operating loss. This non-IFRS measure is not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by IFRS and is not necessarily comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Adjusted operating loss adjusts for non-cash share-based compensation expenses. The Company’s management and board of directors utilize this non-IFRS financial measure to evaluate the Company’s performance. The Company provides this non-IFRS measure of the Company’s performance to investors because management believes that this non-IFRS financial measure, when viewed with the Company’s results under IFRS and the accompanying reconciliations, are useful in identifying underlying trends in ongoing operations. However, this non-IFRS measure is not a measure of financial performance under IFRS and, accordingly, should not be considered as an alternative to IFRS measures as indicators of operating performance. Further, this non-IFRS measure should not be considered a measure of the Company’s liquidity. A reconciliation of certain IFRS to non-IFRS financial measures has been provided in the tables included in this press release.

Note 1 - General
Reporting entity
| A. | Purple Biotech Ltd. (hereinafter: the “Company” or “Purple”) is a clinical-stage Company developing first-in-class, effective and durable therapies by overcoming tumor immune evasion and drug resistance. The Company’s oncology pipeline includes CM24, NT219, and CAPTN-3. CM24 is a humanized monoclonal antibody that blocks CEACAM1, which supports tumor immune evasion and survival through multiple pathways. CEACAM1 on tumor cells, immune cells and neutrophils extracellular traps is a novel target for the treatment of multiple cancer indications. NT219 is a dual inhibitor, novel small molecule that simultaneously targets IRS1/2 and STAT3. CAPTN-3 is a preclinical platform of conditionally-activated tri-specific antibody that engages both T cells and NK cells to induce a strong, localized immune response within the tumor microenvironment. The cleavable capping technology confines the compound’s therapeutic activity to the local tumor microenvironment. The third arm specifically targets the Tumor Associated Antigen (TAA). IM1240 is the first tri-specific antibody in development that targets 5T4 expressed in a variety of solid tumors and is correlated with advanced disease, increased invasiveness, and poor clinical outcomes. |
The Company was incorporated in Israel as a private Company in August 1968, and has been listed for trading on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange since September 1978. In October 2012, the Company disposed of all of its previous operations, and in July 2013, the Company acquired shares of Kitov Pharma Ltd. from its shareholders, in exchange for the Company’s shares. In December 2020 the Company changed its name from Kitov Pharma Ltd. to Purple Biotech Ltd.
| B. | The Company’s securities (American Depository Shares (“ADS”)) were listed for trading on the NASDAQ in November 2015. Each ADS represents 200 ordinary shares with no par value following a reverse split on August 23, 2020 and September 17, 2024. Each 200 warrants enable the purchase of 1 ADS. |
The Company’s address is 4 Oppenheimer St., Science Park Rehovot 7670104 Israel.
| C. | In January 2017, the Company acquired the majority of shares of TyrNovo Ltd. (hereinafter: “TyrNovo”). During 2018, the Company acquired additional shares of TyrNovo from various minority shareholders. |
In January 2020, the Company acquired 100% of FameWave Ltd. (hereinafter “FameWave”).
On October 28, 2021, the Company established a fully owned subsidiary Purple Biotech GmbH (hereinafter “Purple GmbH”) which is currently in dissolving process following the termination of its activities in Switzerland.
In February 2023, the Company acquired 100% of Immunorizon Ltd. (hereinafter “Immunorizon”).
The Company together with TyrNovo, FameWave, Immunorizon and Purple GmbH are referred to, in these consolidated financial statements, as “the Group”.
| D. | Since incorporation through June 30, 2025, the Group has incurred losses and negative cash flows from operations mainly attributed to its development efforts and has an accumulated loss of USD 146.2 million. The Group has financed its operations mainly through private and public financing rounds. Through June 30, 2025, the Company raised a total of USD 109.2 million net of issuance expenses. |
| Purple Biotech Ltd. |
| Notes to Condensed Consolidated Unaudited Interim Financial Statements as of June 30, 2025 |
Based on the projected cash flows and current cash balances, management currently is of the opinion that its existing cash will be sufficient to fund operations for at least the next 12 months. Subsequently, management’s plans include pursuing out licensing, alternative financing arrangements, or reducing expenditures as necessary to meet the Company’s future cash requirements.
However, there is no assurance that, if required, the Company will be able to raise additional capital when needed, on favourable terms, or at all or reduce discretionary spending to provide the required liquidity.
| E. | Following the brutal attacks on Israel, the mobilization of army reserves and the Government declaring a state of war (“Iron Swords” war) in October 2023, there was a decrease in Israel’s economic and business activity. The security situation has led, inter alia, to a disruption in the chain of supply and production, a decrease in the volume of national transportation, a shortage in manpower as well as a decrease in the value of financial assets and a rise in the exchange rate of foreign currencies in relation to the shekel. |
Any hostilities involving Israel, or the interruption or curtailment of trade within Israel or between Israel and its trading partners could adversely affect the Company’s operations and results of operations and could make it more difficult for the Company to raise capital. Both CM24 and NT219 are manufactured by service providers outside of Israel. Most of the research and development work is being conducted by third-party entities outside of Israel. However, a prolonged war can cause disruptions or delays to activities performed in Israel, as the result of shortage of staff, resulting in an adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operation.
It is currently not possible to predict the duration or severity of the ongoing conflict or its effects on Company’s business, operations and financial conditions. The ongoing conflict is rapidly evolving and developing, and could disrupt Company’s business and operations, interrupt the sources and availability of supply and hamper the ability to raise additional funds or sell Company’s securities, among others.
