Forward guidance

PDS Biotech believes its current cash resources are sufficient to fund operations and research and development programs for 12 months following the filing of the Company’s June 2023 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Tailwinds

  • Initiate Phase 3 VERSATILE-003 trial in Q4 2023
  • Present Biomarker data from VERSATILE-002 at ESMO 2023
  • PDS0301 may overcome safety and efficacy limitations of current cytokines
  • PDS0101 has a statistically significant additive effect over published results of ICI monotherapy
  • Completed enrollment in the ICI naïve arm and expect final data readout in mid-2024

Headwinds

  • Dependence on additional financing to fund its operations
  • Limited operating history in the Company’s current line of business to evaluate the Company’s prospects
  • The timing for the Company or its partners to initiate the planned clinical trials for PDS0101, PDS0203 and other Versamune® and Infectimune® based product candidates
  • Future success of clinical trials
  • Legislative, regulatory, political and economic developments not within the Company’s control
