Estrella Immunopharma, Inc. reported a net loss of approximately $5.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to a loss of $4.0 million for the same period in 2024. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the company incurred a net loss of about $7.6 million, up from $4.4 million in the prior year. The increase in losses is attributed to higher research and development expenses, which rose to $4.7 million in the second quarter of 2025 from $3.5 million in the same quarter of 2024, primarily due to increased clinical trial activities. General and administrative expenses also increased, totaling approximately $0.9 million for the second quarter of 2025, compared to $0.4 million in the prior year.
The company’s total assets decreased to $2.98 million as of June 30, 2025, down from $3.14 million at the end of 2024. This decline was primarily driven by an increase in current liabilities, which rose to $9.08 million from $2.99 million at the end of the previous fiscal year. The significant rise in liabilities includes an increase in accrued liabilities related to clinical trial services provided by Eureka, totaling approximately $8.8 million as of June 30, 2025. Estrella's cash position improved slightly, with cash and cash equivalents at $1.32 million, compared to $0.92 million at the end of 2024.
Strategically, Estrella has been advancing its clinical programs, particularly the Phase I/II STARLIGHT-1 clinical trial for its product candidate EB103, a T-cell therapy targeting CD19. As of June 30, 2025, six patients had been dosed in the trial, and the company has accrued significant liabilities related to this clinical work. The company has also entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement, raising approximately $1.35 million from a private placement of common stock, with plans to raise additional capital to support ongoing operations and development efforts.
Looking ahead, Estrella anticipates continued increases in research and development expenses as it progresses through clinical trials and seeks regulatory approvals for its product candidates. The company has indicated that it will rely on its current cash reserves and potential future financing to meet its operational needs. However, it faces challenges, including compliance with Nasdaq listing requirements, as it has received notices regarding its stock price and market value, which could impact its ability to raise capital in the future.
