Nuvectis Pharma Q2 Loss Widens 43%, Advances NXP900 to Lead Program Status

Nuvectis Pharma reported a Q2 net loss of $6.3 million, a 43% increase from Q2 2024. The company's cash and cash equivalents grew to $26.8 million, and the period highlighted clinical progress and a extended financial runway. NXP900 was advanced to lead program status after completing two early-stage clinical studies, while NXP800 saw limited new clinical progress.

Nuvectis Pharma Inc. (NASDAQ: NVCT) reported its financial results for the second quarter of 2025, showcasing significant clinical progress while extending its financial runway. The company's net loss for the quarter increased to $6.3 million, a 43% rise from $4.4 million in Q2 2024 [1]. The cash and cash equivalents position grew to $26.8 million as of June 30, 2025, from $18.5 million at the end of 2024, primarily due to a public offering in February 2025 and an ATM share acquisition in July [1].

Nuvectis Pharma's lead candidate, NXP900, completed two early-stage clinical studies: a Phase 1a dose escalation study in advanced solid tumors and a drug-drug interaction study in healthy volunteers. These achievements position NXP900 as the company's primary focus, with the Phase 1b program expected to begin soon. Meanwhile, NXP800, another drug candidate, saw limited new clinical progress, with the company planning to explore its potential in endometrial and prostate cancers in the coming months [1].

The company's R&D expenses increased to $3.6 million, up from $2.9 million in the same period last year, reflecting the investment in completing the NXP900 DDI study. General and administrative expenses also rose to $3.0 million, compared to $1.7 million in Q2 2024, primarily due to non-cash stock-based compensation of $1.8 million [1].

The improved cash position is expected to fund operations into the second half of 2027, providing approximately two years of operational stability. This extended runway reduces near-term dilution risk and allows management to focus on clinical execution rather than fundraising [1].

Nuvectis Pharma's Chairman and CEO, Ron Bentsur, commented, "The last few months have been very significant for Nuvectis, and we believe that we are well positioned to deliver on our ambitious plan for NXP900" [1].
