basal cell skin cancers, with self-delivering stabilized siRNAs selectively killing melanoma,
squamous and basal carcinoma cells while sparing healthy cutaneous cells. |
| ● | bioAffinity
presented positive research results advancing its diagnostic platform designed to identify
antibody drug receptors in sputum to match patients with the most appropriate biologic therapies,
including receptors for dupilumab, a leading therapy for asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary
disease (COPD), and benralizumab, another asthma therapy. |
| | | |
| ● | The
Company published a comprehensive clinical review and white paper authored by Chief Medical
Officer Gordon H. Downie, MD, PhD, that presents a practical clinical framework for incorporating
CyPath Lung into pulmonary nodule evaluation and cancer surveillance. |
| | | |
| ● | The
Company announced a collaboration with Pictor®, Inc., a targeted proteomic platform company,
to support development and commercialization of bioAffinity Technologies’ next-generation
diagnostic tests designed to provide a more complete picture of lung inflammation in patients
with asthma and COPD. |
| | | |
| ● | The
Society for Advanced Bronchoscopy (SAB) and National Association of Veterans Research Education
Foundations (NAVREF) hosted webinars featuring multi-disciplinary panels of physicians who
discussed CyPath Lung’s expanding role in the lung nodule care continuum. |
| | | |
| ● | bioAffinity
received notification of allowance from the Mexican Institute of Industrial Property for
a patent application protecting the use of defined antibodies and the porphyrin TCPP to label
cell populations in sputum and the use of flow cytometry to determine the presence of lung
cancer cells in sputum. |
| | | |
| ● | In
June 2026, bioAffinity completed a public offering that generated approximately $3.2 million
in gross proceeds to support commercialization activities, clinical development, and general
corporate purposes. |
Management
Commentary
“Our
commercial strategy continues to gain significant traction as physicians increasingly recognize the clinical value of CyPath Lung for
evaluating patients at high risk for lung cancer and surveilling lung cancer survivors for recurrence,” said Maria Zannes, President
and Chief Executive Officer of bioAffinity Technologies. “During the second quarter, CyPath Lung test volume surged 216% year-over-year.
This growth reflects accelerating physician adoption and clinical confidence in our technology. As more clinics integrate CyPath Lung
into their standard of care workflows, peer-to-peer education is a powerful driving force behind building broader awareness of the test’s
ability to provide objective data that complements traditional imaging and supports faster, more informed clinical decisions.”
Ms.
Zannes continued, “Alongside our commercial momentum, we achieved critical milestones across our strategic roadmap. In the second
quarter, we expanded physician education initiatives, including scientific presentations, webinars, podcasts and real-world clinical
case studies. We continued to make progress in our large-scale longitudinal study that includes VA and military medical centers, expanding
our outreach to veterans. By leveraging our expertise in flow cytometry and AI and our work with siRNAs, we are building a robust pipeline
of precision diagnostics for the large asthma and COPD markets and even larger therapeutic markets for topically delivered drugs that
treat squamous and basal cell skin cancers.”
Ms.
Zannes concluded, “Looking ahead, our priorities for the second half of 2026 are expanding physician adoption, increasing utilization
among existing customers, and introducing CyPath Lung to new healthcare systems and specialty practices, including oncology. The positive
results we see from research and development of precision diagnostics and a therapeutic for skin cancers are exciting as we advance our
pipeline. We believe this balanced approach positions bioAffinity to create lasting value for patients, healthcare providers and shareholders.”
Second
Quarter 2026 Financial Results
Revenue
for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, was $1.5 million, a 19% increase from the $1.3 million reported for the same period in 2025. The
increase is primarily due to an increase in sales of CyPath Lung.
Operating
expenses for the second quarter of 2026 were $4.8 million, compared with $3.8 million in the second quarter of 2025.
| ● | Direct
costs and expenses for the second quarter of 2026 were $1.1 million, compared to $1 million
in the prior-year period, primarily reflecting higher CyPath Lung test volume. |
| | | |
| ● | Research
and development expenses increased 16% year-over-year to $362,000, driven by laboratory supply
purchases and costs associated with relocating the research and development lab from the
University of Texas at San Antonio to the Precision Pathology Laboratory services campus. |
| | | |
| ● | Clinical
development expenses rose to $476,000 from $129,000 in the second quarter of 2025 due to
costs associated with initiating the longitudinal clinical study. |
| | | |
| ● | Selling,
general and administrative expenses were $2.9 million for the second quarter of 2026, up
from $2.2 million in the same period last year. The increase was primarily driven by higher
employee compensation, reflecting the addition of sales and administrative personnel to support
the expanding commercialization of CyPath Lung. |
Net
loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, was $3.4 million, compared with a net loss of $4.1 million for the second quarter of 2025.
Cash
and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2026, were $2.4 million, compared with $6.4 million as of December 31, 2025.
About
CyPath Lung
CyPath
Lung by bioAffinity Technologies is a noninvasive test designed to improve the early detection of lung cancer in patients at high risk
for the disease. CyPath Lung uses advanced flow cytometry and proprietary artificial intelligence (AI) to identify cell populations in
patient sputum that indicate malignancy. CyPath Lung incorporates a fluorescent porphyrin that is preferentially taken up by cancer and
cancer-related cells. In a published clinical trial of high-risk patients, CyPath Lung demonstrated 92% sensitivity, 87% specificity,
88% accuracy and 99% negative predictive value (NPV) in detecting lung cancer in patients at high risk for the disease who had small
indeterminate lung nodules less than 20 millimeters. The high NPV gives physicians greater confidence that a negative result is truly
negative, potentially sparing patients from unnecessary invasive and costly procedures. CyPath Lung is marketed as a Laboratory Developed
Test (LDT) and is not intended for use as a sole diagnostic tool and should be considered alongside other clinical findings.
