Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Bio-Path Holdings reports a sharply reduced first-quarter loss but remains in severe financial distress. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, operating expenses fell to $0.3 million from $3.2 million a year earlier as research and development dropped to $0.04 million and general and administrative to $0.3 million, reflecting an operational pause and furloughs. Net loss narrowed to $0.3 million, or $0.03 per share, versus $2.9 million, or $0.40 per share, in the prior-year quarter.

Total assets were only $0.7 million against $9.2 million of liabilities, leaving shareholders’ deficit at $8.5 million. The company discloses that approximately $0.1 million of cash at March 31, 2026 is not enough to fund the next 12 months and states that substantial doubt exists about its ability to continue as a going concern. Several short-term promissory notes are already in default and carry default repayment at 150% of principal plus 22% default interest, with deep-discount conversion rights into common stock.

The report also notes that the March 31, 2026 financial statements are unaudited and have not been reviewed by an independent registered public accounting firm, so the filing is considered deficient. Subsequent to quarter-end, Bio-Path raised small amounts of equity under a Tier 1 Regulation A offering and issued 40 million common shares to Steel Giants Advisors LLC for accrued consulting compensation and wages due to the CEO, massively increasing the share count from 9.3 million at March 31, 2026 to over 50 million shares outstanding by May 20, 2026, and significantly diluting existing holders.

Positive

  • None.

Negative

  • Going concern uncertainty: Management states that approximately $0.1 million of cash at March 31, 2026 will not fund the next 12 months and that substantial doubt exists about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
  • Balance sheet weakness: As of March 31, 2026, total assets of $0.7 million are far below $9.2 million of liabilities, resulting in shareholders’ deficit of $8.5 million.
  • Debt defaults and punitive terms: March and April 2025 promissory notes are in default and become immediately payable at 150% of principal plus 22% default interest, with conversion at 65% of the lowest closing bid price, creating both cash and dilution pressure.
  • Operational pause: A company‑wide operational pause and furlough of most employees were implemented on June 24, 2025 to conserve capital, and clinical trials are on hold, limiting near‑term development progress.
  • Massive dilution: Subsequent to quarter‑end, 40 million common shares were issued to Steel Giants Advisors LLC for accrued compensation, increasing total shares outstanding from about 9.3 million at March 31, 2026 to 50.3 million by May 20, 2026.

Insights

Quarter shows extreme cash strain, defaults, and heavy dilution risk.

Bio-Path’s Q1 2026 numbers reflect a company in survival mode. Operating expenses collapsed to $0.3 million as clinical programs were paused and staff furloughed. Net loss fell to $0.27 million, but this improvement comes from cutting activity, not growing the business.

The balance sheet is very weak: assets of $0.7 million versus liabilities of $9.2 million and shareholders’ deficit of $8.5 million. Management explicitly states that about $0.1 million of cash at March 31, 2026 will not cover 12 months of needs and that substantial doubt exists about continuing as a going concern.

Multiple high-cost promissory notes are already in default and can convert at 65% of the lowest recent bid price, creating large potential dilution. Subsequent events show that 40 million shares were issued for accrued compensation, taking the share count above 50 million. The combination of operational pause, leverage on onerous terms, and rapid dilution presents significant risk until a credible financing and clinical restart plan is in place.

going concern financial
"Therefore, substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern."
A going concern is a business that is expected to continue its operations and meet its obligations for the foreseeable future, rather than shutting down or selling off assets. This assumption matters to investors because it indicates stability and ongoing profitability, making the business a more reliable investment. Think of it as believing a restaurant will stay open and serve customers, rather than closing down suddenly.
operational pause financial
"the Company announced that it instituted a Company-wide operational pause in order to conserve capital."
derivative liability financial
"The Company accounted for conversion feature of the March 2025 and April 2025 Promissory Notes as a derivative liability"
A derivative liability is an obligation a company owes because of a derivatives contract—such as an option, future, swap, or forward—that has moved against it and now has negative value. Think of it like a settled bet that turned into a bill: if market moves go the other way, the company may have to pay cash or deliver assets. Investors care because these liabilities can create sudden losses, add leverage or counterparty risk, and change a company’s true financial exposure beyond its everyday operations.
Tier 1 Regulation A offering regulatory
"raising proceeds of $13,983 under our active Tier 1 Regulation A offering."
warrant liability financial
"The estimated fair value of the warrant liability for the Warrants as of December 31, 2025, was $14,000."
Warrant liability is the financial obligation a company records when it grants warrants—special options giving the holder the right to buy company shares at a set price in the future. It matters to investors because changes in this liability can affect a company's reported earnings and overall financial health, similar to how a pending contract can influence a company's future value.

Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based on our current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of our business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions.

BIO-PATH HOLDINGS, INC.

Notes to the Unaudited and not Reviewed Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Unless the context requires otherwise, references in these Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements to “we,” “our,” “us,” “the Company” and “Bio-Path” refer to Bio-Path Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiary. Bio-Path Holdings, Inc.’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Bio-Path, Inc., is sometimes referred to herein as “Bio-Path Subsidiary.”

The accompanying unaudited condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in conformity with the authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and, therefore, do not include all information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations and financial position have been included and all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The unaudited quarterly financial statements should be read in conjunction with the unaudited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 1-K of the Company as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. The results of operations for the period ended March 31, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full-year period.

 

Explanatory Note:

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2026 has not been reviewed by an independent registered public accounting firm in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. As a result, this report is considered deficient and may not fully comply with all applicable requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

1.           Organization and Business

The Company is a clinical and preclinical stage oncology and obesity-focused RNAi nanoparticle drug development company utilizing a novel technology that achieves systemic delivery for target-specific protein inhibition for any gene product that is over-expressed in disease. The Company’s drug delivery and antisense technology, called DNAbilize®, is a platform that uses P-ethoxy, which is a deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) backbone modification that is intended to protect the DNA from destruction by the body’s enzymes when circulating in vivo, incorporated inside of a lipid bilayer having neutral charge. The Company believes this combination allows for high efficiency loading of antisense DNA into non-toxic, cell-membrane-like structures for delivery of the antisense drug substance into cells. In vivo, the DNAbilize® delivered antisense drug substances are systemically distributed throughout the body to allow for reduction or elimination of target proteins in blood diseases and solid tumors. Through testing in numerous animal studies and dosing in clinical trials, the Company’s DNAbilize® drug candidates have demonstrated an excellent safety profile. DNAbilize® is a registered trademark of the Company. Using DNAbilize® as a platform for drug development and manufacturing, the Company currently has four antisense drug candidates in development to treat at least five different cancer disease indications and one indication in obesity.

The Company was incorporated in May 2000 as a Utah corporation. In February 2008, Bio-Path Subsidiary completed a reverse merger with the Company, which at the time was traded over the counter and had no current operations. The prior name of the Company was changed to Bio-Path Holdings, Inc. and the directors and officers of Bio-Path Subsidiary became the directors and officers of Bio-Path Holdings, Inc. Effective December 31, 2014, the Company changed its state of incorporation from Utah to Delaware through a statutory conversion pursuant to the Utah Revised Business Corporation Act and the Delaware General Corporation Law.

The Company’s operations to date have been limited to organizing and staffing the Company, acquiring, developing and securing its technology and undertaking product development for a limited number of product candidates. As the Company has not begun its planned principal operations of commercializing a product candidate, the Company’s activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including the potential requirement to secure additional funding, the outcome of the Company’s clinical trials and failing to operationalize the Company’s current drug candidates before another company develops similar products.

2.            Significant Accounting Policies

Net Loss Per Share

Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Although there were warrants and stock options outstanding as of September 30, 2025 and 2024, no potential common shares are included in the computation of any diluted per share amount, as they would be antidilutive. Consequently, diluted net loss per share as presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements is equal to basic net loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. The calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 did not include shares issuable pursuant to the exercise of outstanding common stock options and warrants as the effect would be antidilutive.

 

Liquidity

The Company’s available cash and cash equivalents of $0.1 million at March 31, 2026 will not be sufficient to fund liquidity and capital expenditure requirements for the next 12 months from the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements. Therefore, substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company expects to continue to incur significant operating expenses for the foreseeable future in connection with its ongoing activities, including conducting clinical trials, manufacturing development and seeking regulatory approval of its drug candidates, prexigebersen, BP1002, BP1003 and BP1001-A. Accordingly, the Company will continue to require substantial additional capital to fund its projected operating requirements. Such additional capital may not be available when needed or on terms favorable to the Company. In addition, the Company may seek additional capital due to favorable market conditions or strategic considerations, even if it believes it has sufficient funds for its current and future operating plan. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to continue to raise additional capital through the sale of securities in the future. If the Company is not able to secure adequate additional funding, the Company may be forced to make reductions in spending, extend payment terms with suppliers and/or suspend or curtail planned programs. Any of these actions could materially harm the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition and future prospects.

 

Segment Reporting

Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise for which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in making decisions on how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company views its operations as and manages its business in one operating segment, as a research and development drug development company. The CODM is the Company’s Interim Chief Executive Officer. The CODM reviews the segment’s loss based on net loss reported on the consolidated statement of operations. The operating segment constitutes all of the consolidated entity and is the level at which the CODM regularly reviews the operating results and performance.

 

Warrants

The Company determines whether warrants should be classified as a liability or equity. For warrants classified as liabilities, the Company estimates the fair value of the warrants at each reporting period using Level 3 inputs with changes in fair value recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations as change in fair value of warrant liability. The estimates in valuation models are based, in part, on subjective assumptions, including but not limited to stock price volatility, the expected life of the warrants, the risk-free interest rate and the fair value of the common stock underlying the warrants, and could differ materially in the future. The Company will continue to adjust the fair value of the warrant liability at the end of each reporting period for changes in fair value from the prior period until the earlier of the exercise or expiration of the applicable warrant.

 

Fair Value

The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying values because of the short-term maturities of these instruments.

(together with the First Lender, Second Lender and Third Lender, the “Lenders”),, an accredited investor, for the issuance and sale of a promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $38,500 (together with the December 29, 2025 promissory note, the “January 2026 Promissory Notes, and together with the March 2025 Promissory Notes and the April 2025 Promissory Notes, the “Promissory Notes”)), which was funded on January 8, 2026 for a purchase price of $32,000 after deducting the original issue discount of $6,400. The Promissory Note bears a one-time interest charge of fifteen percent that was applied on the date of issuance, January 8, 2026.

Upon the occurrence and during any continuation of any Event of Default (as defined in the Promissory Notes), the Promissory Notes shall become immediately due and payable and, with respect to each Promissory note, the Company shall pay to the Lenders, in full satisfaction of such Promissory Note, an amount equal to 150% times the sum of (i) the then outstanding principal amount of such applicable Promissory Notes plus (ii) accrued and unpaid interest on the unpaid principal amount of such applicable Promissory Notes to the date of payment plus (iii) default interest, if any, at a rate of 22% per annum on the amounts referred to in clauses (i) and/or (ii) plus (iv) any amounts owed to the Lenders, as applicable, pursuant to the Conversion Right (as defined below). In addition, only upon an Event of Default and during any continuation thereof, the Lenders may elect to convert all or any part of the outstanding principal and interest on the Promissory Notes, as applicable, in fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price per share equal to 65% of the lowest closing bid price of the Company’s common stock for the ten trading days prior to the date of conversion (the “Conversion Right”). The Lenders, together with their affiliates, may not convert any portion of such Promissory Notes to the extent that the Lenders would own more than 4.99% of the Company’s outstanding common stock immediately after the conversion.

 

As of March 31, 2026, the March 2025 and April 2025 Promissory Notes were in default and became convertible under the default provisions. As a result, the Company incurred a default penalty of $.1 million. As such, The Company analyzed the conversion option for derivative accounting consideration under ASC 815, "Derivatives and Hedging," and determined that the convertible notes should be classified as a liability since the conversion option becomes effective at issuance resulting in there being no explicit limit to the number of shares to be delivered upon settlement of the above conversion options. The Company accounted for conversion feature of the March 2025 and April 2025 Promissory Notes as a derivative liability due to there being no explicit limit to the number of shares to be delivered upon settlement of all conversion options. The conversion features of the March 2025 and April 2025 Promissory Notes were recorded at fair value using the Black-Scholes valuation model. At March 31, 2026, the Derivative liabilities related to the March 2025 and April 2025 Promissory Notes was $0.5 million.

 

7.            Accrued Expense

As of March 31, 2026, current liabilities included accrued expenses of $3.0 million, comprised primarily of accrued clinical trial expenses of $2.5 million, accrued salaries and benefits expense of $0.2 million and other accrued expenses of $0.3 million.

8.            Warrant Liability

In connection with the March 2024 Registered Direct Offering and the April 2024 Registered Direct Offering (each as defined in Note 10) and a 2023 public offering, the Company issued warrants under the March 2024 Private Placement and the April 2024 Private Placement (each as defined in Note 10) as well as the 2023 public offering (collectively, the “Warrants”). The Warrants contain a provision applicable in the event of a fundamental transaction whereby the volatility used to calculate the warrant exercise terms is fixed and meets the definition of a derivative.

 

Due to this provision and in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 815 Derivatives and Hedging, the Warrants were classified as a liability and recorded at fair value using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The estimated fair value of the warrant liability for the Warrants as of December 31, 2025, was $14,000. As of March 31, 2026, the fair value of the total warrant liability was $12,000. The net change in fair value of $2,000 is shown as other income on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company will continue to measure the fair value of the Warrants each quarter until they are exercised or expire, and any change will be adjusted accordingly on the Company’s financial statements.

 

On October 24, 2025, the Company engaged Steel Giants Advisors LLC (“SGA”) to advise it on restructuring its’ operations, raise capital, and updating financial statements and maintaining books and records for a period of one year. As part of the engagement, the Company agreed to pay SGA $10,000 cash per month and issue SGA two million common stock purchase warrants with a cashless exercise price of $0.0001 and a five-year expiration

 

9.            Fair Value Measurements

In accordance with ASC 820 Fair Value Measurement, the Company uses various inputs to measure the Warrants on a recurring basis to determine the fair value of the liability. ASC 820 also establishes a hierarchy categorizing inputs into three levels used to measure and disclose fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices available in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. An explanation of each level in the hierarchy is described below:

  

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments that are accessible by the Company on the measurement date

 

Level 2 – Quoted prices in markets that are not active or inputs which are either directly or indirectly observable

 

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the instrument requiring the development of assumptions by the Company

 

The following table summarizes the Company’s Warrants measured at fair value within the hierarchy on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2026:

Overview

We are a clinical and preclinical stage oncology and obesity-focused RNAi nanoparticle drug development company utilizing a novel technology that achieves systemic delivery for target-specific protein inhibition for any gene product that is over-expressed in disease. Our drug delivery and antisense technology, called DNAbilize®, is a platform that uses P-ethoxy, which is a deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) backbone modification that is intended to protect the DNA from destruction by the body’s enzymes when circulating in vivo, incorporated inside of a lipid bilayer having neutral charge. We believe this combination allows for high efficiency loading of antisense DNA into non-toxic, cell-membrane-like structures for delivery of the antisense drug substance into cells. In vivo, the DNAbilize® delivered antisense drug substances are systemically distributed throughout the body to allow for reduction or elimination of target proteins in blood diseases and solid tumors. Through testing in numerous animal studies and dosing in clinical trials, our DNAbilize® drug candidates have demonstrated an excellent safety profile. DNAbilize® is a registered trademark of the Company.

Using DNAbilize® as a platform for drug development and manufacturing, we currently have four drug candidates in development to treat at least five different cancer disease indications and one indication in obesity. Our lead drug candidate, BP1001, or “prexigebersen” (pronounced prex” i je ber’ sen), which is being developed to target growth factor receptor-bound protein 2 (“Grb2”), initially started the efficacy portion of a Phase 2 clinical trial for untreated acute myeloid leukemia (“AML”) patients in combination with low-dose cytarabine (“LDAC”). However, the changing landscape of AML treatment led to the amendment of the Phase 2 clinical study by removing the combination treatment of prexigebersen and LDAC and replacing it with the combination treatment of prexigebersen and decitabine.

In October 2020, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) granted approval of venetoclax in combination with LDAC, decitabine or azacytidine (the latter two drugs are DNA hypomethylating agents) as frontline therapy for newly diagnosed AML in adults who are 75 years or older, or who have comorbidities precluding intensive induction chemotherapy. We believe this approval of the frontline venetoclax and decitabine combination therapy provides an opportunity for developing prexigebersen as an addition to the combination therapy for the treatment of newly diagnosed AML patients. In preclinical efficacy studies, four AML cancer cell lines were treated with three different combinations of decitabine, venetoclax and prexigebersen. Decrease in AML cell viability was the primary measure of efficacy. The triple combination of decitabine, venetoclax and prexigebersen showed significant improvement in efficacy in three of the four AML cell lines. Based on these results, we believe that adding prexigebersen to the treatment combination of decitabine and venetoclax could lead to improved efficacy in AML patients.

Our approved amended Phase 2 clinical trial currently has three cohorts of subjects. The first two cohorts treat patients with the triple combination of prexigebersen, decitabine and venetoclax. The first cohort includes newly diagnosed AML patients while the second cohort includes relapsed/refractory AML patients. The third cohort treats relapsed/refractory AML patients who are venetoclax-resistant or -intolerant with the two-drug combination of prexigebersen and decitabine. The full trial design plans have approximately 98 evaluable patients for the first cohort having newly diagnosed AML patients with a preliminary review performed after 19 evaluable patients and a formal interim analysis after 38 evaluable patients. The full trial design plans have approximately 54 evaluable patients for each of the second cohort, having relapsed/refractory AML patients, and the third cohort, having AML patients who are venetoclax-resistant or -intolerant, in each case with a review performed after 19 evaluable patients. The study is anticipated to be conducted at up to ten clinical sites in the U.S., and Gail J. Roboz, MD, is the national coordinating Principal Investigator for the Phase 2 trial. Dr. Roboz is a professor of medicine and director of the Clinical and Translational Leukemia Program at the Weill Medical College of Cornell University (the “Weill Medical College”) and the New York-Presbyterian Hospital in New York City.

The safety run-in of the triple combination of prexigebersen, decitabine and venetoclax for the Phase 2 clinical study was successfully completed. The preliminary data, presented at the 2021 ASH Annual Meeting, showed the treatment was well-tolerated and there were no dose limiting toxicities attributed to prexigebersen.

On June 3, 2024, we announced additional interim data for the first two cohorts of the Phase 2 clinical trial. In Cohort 1, 31 newly diagnosed patients were enrolled; 20 evaluable patients with a median age of 75 years, treated with at least one cycle of prexigebersen, decitabine and venetoclax, had adverse-risk or secondary AML evolved from myelodysplastic syndromes, chronic myelomonocytic leukemia or treatment-related AML. Fifteen patients (75%) achieved complete remission (“CR”), CR with partial recovery of peripheral blood counts (“CRh”), or CR with incomplete hematologic recovery (“CRi”). One patient achieved partial remission (“PR”), three patients achieved stable disease, and one patient had toxicity attributed to decitabine and venetoclax treatment. In Cohort 2, 40 relapsed/refractory patients were enrolled; 23 evaluable patients with a median age of 63 years, treated with at least one cycle of prexigebersen, decitabine and venetoclax, had adverse-risk or secondary AML. Twelve patients (55%) achieved CR/CRi/ CRh, one patient achieved PR, eight patients achieved stable disease and two patients had progressive disease or treatment failure. Among the evaluable patients of both cohorts, adverse events were consistent with those expected with decitabine and venetoclax and/or AML, including fatigue (72%), anemia (60%) and neutropenia (49%), while the most frequent severe adverse events were febrile neutropenia (26%) and sepsis (5%). The interim analysis data was selected as an oral presentation in the 2024 American Society of Clinical Oncology (“ASCO”) Annual Meeting and as a poster presentation in the 2024 European Hematology Association (“EHA”) Annual Meeting.

Our second drug candidate, Liposomal Bcl-2 (“BP1002”), targets the protein Bcl-2, which is responsible for driving cell survival in up to 60% of all cancers. A Phase 1 clinical trial to evaluate the ability of BP1002 to treat refractory/relapsed lymphoma and refractory/relapsed chronic lymphocytic leukemia (“CLL”) patients was being conducted at the Georgia Cancer Center, The University of Texas Southwestern and New York Medical College. On December 11, 2024, we announced that the Phase 1 clinical trial was discontinuing enrollment based on enrollment challenges in these niche indications, particularly given the crowded development landscape that includes multiple competing trials. Furthermore, reducing this development program allows us the ability to increase our focus on the initiation of our obesity development program.

Additionally, preclinical studies suggest that the combination of BP1002 with decitabine is efficacious in venetoclax-resistant cells. An abstract of the preclinical study was presented at the 2021 American Association for Cancer Research (“AACR”) Annual Meeting. A Phase 1/1b clinical trial to investigate the ability of BP1002 to treat refractory/relapsed AML patients, including venetoclax-resistant patients, is being studied. A recent study found that AML patients who had relapsed from frontline venetoclax-based treatment had a very poor prognosis, with a median survival of less than three months. Since venetoclax and BP1002 utilize different mechanisms of action, we believe that BP1002 may be a potential treatment for venetoclax-relapsed AML patients. The Phase 1/1b clinical trial is being conducted at several leading cancer centers in the United States, including the Weill Medical College, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center (“MD Anderson”), Scripps Health and The University of California at Los Angeles Cancer Center. On October 7, 2024, we announced that the FDA had completed its review of PK/PD data from the first two dosing cohorts (20 and 40 mg/m2) and that enrollment for the third dosing cohort (60 mg/ m2) was complete.

Our third drug candidate, Liposomal STAT3 (“BP1003”), targets the STAT3 protein and is currently in IND enabling studies as a potential treatment of pancreatic cancer, non-small cell lung cancer (“NSCLC”) and AML. Preclinical studies showing BP1003’s ability to inhibit STAT3 protein expression and cancer cell viability had been presented at AACR Annual Meetings. On September 16, 2024, we announced a publication in the peer-reviewed journal, Biomedicines, which highlights the therapeutic potential and broad anti-tumor effect of BP1003 in numerous preclinical solid tumor models, including breast, ovarian, and pancreatic cancer. The lead indication for which we intend to develop BP1003 is pancreatic cancer due to the severity of this disease and the lack of effective, life-extending treatments. For example, pancreatic adenocarcinoma is projected to be the second most lethal cancer behind lung cancer by 2030. Typical survival for a metastatic pancreatic cancer patient is about three to six months from diagnosis. We have successfully completed several IND enabling studies of BP1003 and have one additional IND enabling study to complete.

In addition, a modified product named BP1001-A, our fourth drug candidate, has shown to enhance chemotherapy efficacy in a preclinical study involving solid tumor models. Results of the preclinical study were published in the scientific journal Oncotarget in July 2020. BP1001-A incorporates the same drug substance as prexigebersen but has a slightly modified formulation designed to enhance nanoparticle properties. A BP1001-A Phase 1/1b clinical trial in patients with advanced or recurrent solid tumors is being conducted at several leading cancer centers in the United States, including Karmanos Cancer Institute, Mary Crowley Cancer Research and Holy Cross Hospital, Maryland. On July 17, 2023, we announced completion of the first cohort of the dose escalation portion of the Phase 1/1b clinical trial. A total of nine evaluable patients are scheduled to be treated with BP1001-A monotherapy over three dose levels in a standard 3+3 dose escalation design. The first dose cohort consisted of a starting dose of 60 mg/m2, and there were no dose limiting toxicities.

 

Development and Treatment for Obesity

Insulin resistance is a major contributor to obesity, Type 2 diabetes and other related metabolic diseases. Insulin lowers blood glucose level by activating the phosphoinositol-3 kinase (PI3K)/AKT pathway. However, this insulin pathway is dysfunctional in obese patients who have Type 2 diabetes. Literature suggests that Grb2 is an inhibitor of the insulin/PI3K/AKT pathway. Upregulation of the Grb2 gene has been reported for patients with Type 2 diabetes. Knockdown of Grb2 expression enhanced insulin-induced AKT activity and glucose uptake in myoblast and hepatoma cells. Furthermore, insulin sensitivity was restored in Grb2 heterozygous knockout mice fed on high fat-induced diet.

On December 19, 2024, we announced the results of our initial preclinical work; BP1001-A, by downregulating Grb2 expression, increased the levels of phosphorylated AKT and phosphorylated FOXO-1 (a downstream AKT effector) in myoblast and hepatoma cells in the presence of insulin. Furthermore, a high fat diet rich in saturated fatty acids can lead to insulin resistance. Palmitic acid, the most common saturated fatty acid in a high fat diet, has been shown to impair insulin signaling. On March 18, 2025, we announced preclinical results that BP1001-A attenuated fatty acid-induced insulin resistance and restored insulin sensitivity in muscle progenitor and skeletal muscle fiber cell models. These preliminary data confirmed that BP1001-A could affect the insulin/PI3K/AKT pathway and increase insulin sensitivity, thus validating BP1001-A as a potential candidate to target obesity in Type 2 diabetes patients.

On May 1, 2025, we announced the achievement of a third milestone from preclinical studies of BP1001-A that provide additional support for its potential as a treatment for obesity. These studies showed BP1001-A rescues the decrease in AKT activity in liver cells and prevents cells from becoming insulin resistant, confirming its potential as a treatment for obesity and related metabolic diseases in Type 2 diabetes patients. Preliminary results indicated HepG2 cells with BP1001-A restored insulin signaling in HepG2 cells treated with palmitic acid. This data showed that BP1001-A could potentially help skeletal and liver cells from becoming insulin resistant and BP1001-A is a potential treatment for obese patients who have Type 2 diabetes.

Our DNAbilize® technology-based products are available for out-licensing or partnering. We intend to apply our drug technology template to new disease-causing protein targets to develop new liposomal antisense drug candidates for inclusion in our pipeline that meet scientific, preclinical and commercial criteria and file new patents on these targets. We expect that these efforts will include collaboration with key scientific opinion leaders in the field of study and include developing drug candidates for diseases other than cancer. As we expand our drug development programs, we will look at indications where a systemic delivery is needed and antisense RNAi nanoparticles can be used to slow, reverse or cure a disease, either alone or in combination with another drug.

We are developing a molecular biomarker package to accompany prexigebersen treatment, the goal of which is to identify patients with a genetic profile more likely to respond to the investigational treatment and improve the probability of success for this program as a result. The emerging role of biomarkers has been enhancing cancer development over the past decade and has become a more common companion to many cancer development programs.

We have certain intellectual property as the basis for our current drug products in clinical development, prexigebersen, BP1002, BP1003 and BP1001-A. We are developing RNAi antisense nanoparticle drug candidates based on our own patented technology to treat cancer, obesity and related metabolic diseases, and autoimmune disorders where targeting a single protein may be advantageous and result in reduced patient adverse effects as compared to small molecule inhibitors with off-target and non-specific effects. We have composition of matter and method of use intellectual property for the design and manufacture of antisense RNAi nanoparticle drug products.

On June 24, 2025, the Company announced that it instituted a Company-wide operational pause in order to conserve capital. The Company has furloughed most of its employees and paused most of its operations until further notice while the Company continues to seek financing or additional capital. The Board is currently discussing and evaluating a course of action in light of the Company’s limited capital resources, such operational pause and the resignations of Peter H. Nielsen, Heath Cleaver and Aline Sherwood.

 

As of March 31, 2026, we had an accumulated deficit of $126.0 million. Our net loss was $1.0 million and $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. We expect to continue to incur significant operating losses, and we anticipate that our losses may increase substantially as we expand our drug development programs and commercialization efforts. To achieve profitability, we must enter into license or development agreements with third parties or successfully develop and obtain regulatory approval for one or more of our drug candidates and effectively commercialize any drug candidates we develop. In addition, if we obtain regulatory approval of one or more of our drug candidates, we expect to incur significant commercialization expenses related to product sales, marketing, manufacturing and distribution. Even if we succeed in developing and commercializing one or more of our drug candidates, we may not be able to generate sufficient revenue and we may never be able to achieve or sustain profitability. We expect to finance our foreseeable cash requirements through cash on hand, cash from operations, debt financings and public or private equity offerings. We may seek to access the public or private equity markets whenever conditions are favorable; however, there can be no assurance that we will be able to raise additional capital when needed or on terms that are favorable to us, if at all. Additionally, we may seek collaborations and license arrangements for our drug candidates. We currently have no lines of credit or other arranged access to debt financing.

Company History and Available Information

The Company was incorporated in May 2000 as a Utah corporation. In February 2008, Bio-Path Subsidiary completed a reverse merger with the Company, which at the time was traded over the counter and had no current operations. The prior name of the Company was changed to Bio-Path Holdings, Inc. and the directors and officers of Bio-Path Subsidiary became the directors and officers of Bio-Path Holdings, Inc. On March 10, 2014, our common stock ceased trading on the OTCQX and commenced trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the ticker symbol “BPTH.” Effective December 31, 2014, we changed our state of incorporation from Utah to Delaware through a statutory conversion pursuant to the Utah Revised Business Corporation Act and the Delaware General Corporation Law.

Financial Operations Overview

Revenue

We have not generated significant revenues to date. Our ability to generate revenues from our drug candidates, which we do not expect will occur for many years, if ever, will depend heavily on the successful development and eventual commercialization of our drug candidates.

In the future, we may generate revenue from a combination of product sales, third-party grants, service agreements, strategic alliances and licensing arrangements. We expect that any revenue we generate will fluctuate due to the timing and amount of services performed, milestones achieved, license fees earned and payments received upon the eventual sales of our drug candidates, in the event any are successfully commercialized. If we fail to complete the development of any of our drug candidates or obtain regulatory approval for them, our ability to generate future revenue will be adversely affected.

Research and development expenses

Research and development expenses consist of costs associated with our research activities, including the development of our drug candidates. Our research and development expenses consist of:

  expenses related to research and development personnel, including salaries and benefits, travel and stock-based compensation;
  external research and development expenses incurred under arrangements with third parties, such as contract research organizations, clinical investigative sites, laboratories, manufacturing organizations and consultants; and
  costs of materials used during research and development activities.
     

 Costs and expenses that can be clearly identified as research and development are charged to expense as incurred. Advance payments, including non-refundable amounts, for goods or services that will be used or rendered for future research and development activities are deferred and capitalized. Such amounts will be recognized as an expense as the related goods are delivered or the related services are performed. If the goods are not delivered, or services will not be rendered, then the capitalized advance payment is charged to expense.

 

We expect research and development expenses associated with the completion of the associated clinical trials to be substantial and to increase over time. The successful development of our drug candidates is highly uncertain. At this time, we cannot reasonably estimate or know the nature, timing and estimated costs of the efforts that will be necessary to complete development of our drug candidates or the period, if any, in which material net cash inflows from our drug candidates may commence. This is due to the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with developing drugs, including the uncertainty of:

  the rate of progress, results and costs of completion of ongoing clinical trials of our drug candidates;
  the size, scope, rate of progress, results and costs of completion of any potential future clinical trials and preclinical tests of our drug candidates that we may initiate;
  competing technological and market developments;
  the performance of third-party manufacturers and suppliers;
  the ability of our drug candidates, if they receive regulatory approval, to achieve market success;
  disputes or other developments relating to proprietary rights, including patents, litigation matters and our ability to obtain patent protection for our drug candidates; and
  the impact, risks and uncertainties related to global pandemics and actions taken by governmental authorities or others in connection therewith.

Table of Contents 

 

A change in the outcome of any of these variables with respect to the development of a drug candidate could mean a significant change in the costs and timing associated with the development of that drug candidate. For example, if the FDA or other regulatory authority were to require us to conduct clinical trials beyond those which we currently anticipate will be required for the completion of clinical development of a drug candidate or if we experience significant delays in enrollment in any clinical trials, we could be required to expend significant additional financial resources and time on the completion of clinical development.

General and administrative expenses

Our general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and benefits for management and administrative personnel, professional fees for legal, accounting and other services, travel costs and facility-related costs such as rent, utilities and other general office expenses.

Results of Operations

 

Comparisons of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2025

 

Revenue. We had no revenue for each of the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

 

Research and Development Expense. Our research and development expense for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $0.1 million, a decrease of $1.9 million compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease in research and development expense was primarily due to cash flow constraints and related pausing our clinical trials for BP1001 and BP1001-A. Our clinical trials are currently on hold.

 

General and Administrative Expense. Our general and administrative expense for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $0.3 million, a decrease of $1 million compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease in general and administrative expense was primarily due to decreased salaries and benefits expenses due to the curtailment of the Company’s activities, including the resignations and terminations of employment of corporate overhead.

 

Net Operating Loss. Our net loss from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $0.3 million, a decrease of $2.9 million compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025.

 

Other Income (Expense) The Company recognized income of $0.1 million on the change in value of the warrant liability and derivative liabilities, compared to gains of $0.4 for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

 

Net Loss. Our net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $0.3 million, a decrease of $2.6 million compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025.

 

Net Loss per Share. Net loss per share, both basic and diluted, for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $(0.03), compared to $(0.40) for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Net loss per share is calculated using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the applicable periods and excludes stock options and warrants because they are antidilutive.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

We have not generated significant revenues to date. Since our inception, we have funded our operations primarily through public and private offerings of our capital stock and other securities. We expect to finance our foreseeable cash requirements through cash on hand, cash from operations, debt financings and public or private equity offerings. We may seek to access the public or private equity markets whenever conditions are favorable; however, there can be no assurance that we will be able to raise additional capital when needed or on terms that are favorable to us, if at all. Additionally, we may seek collaborations and license arrangements for our drug candidates. We currently have no lines of credit or other arranged access to debt financing.

Table of Contents 

 

We had a cash balance of $0.1 million as of March 31, 2026, an increase of $0.1 million compared to December 31, 2025. We do not believe that our available cash at March 31, 2026 will be sufficient to meet obligations and fund our liquidity and capital expenditure requirements for the next 12 months from the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon obtaining funding through one or more sources as described above to meet its planned obligations and pay its liabilities.

Cash Flows

Operating Activities. Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $0.1 million. Excluding non-cash expenses of $0.1 million, net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 consisted primarily of the net loss for the period of $0.3 million, an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $0.3 million, and a decrease in other current assets of $0.2 million.

Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $1.3 million. Excluding non-cash change in fair value of the warrant liability of $0.4 million and stock-based compensation expense of $0.1 million,. net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 consisted primarily of the net loss for the period of $2.9 million, an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $1.2 million and a decrease in prepaid drug product of $0.6 million. Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $1.0 million. Excluding non-cash change in fair value of the warrant liability of $0.5 million and stock-based compensation expense of $0.2 million, net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 consisted primarily of the net loss for the period of $3.2 million and a decrease of $0.5 million in other current assets. These are partially offset by an increase of $1.9 million in operating liabilities. 

Financing Activities. Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $0.1 million from proceeds of Promissory Notes.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $0.3 million from the Warrant Exercises and the March 2025 Promissory Notes (each as defined below). Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $0.2 million from the March 2024 Registered Direct Offering .

Pre-Funded Warrant Exercises

In February 2025, investors exercised our remaining outstanding pre-funded warrants to purchase 2,540,000 shares of our common stock at a weighted average exercise price of approximately $0.001 per share (such exercises, the “Warrant Exercises”).

March 2025 Promissory Notes

On March 6, 2025, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with 1800 Diagonal Lending LLC, a Virginia limited liability company (the “Lender”), an accredited investor, for the issuance and sale of a promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $161,000 (the “First Promissory Note”) for a purchase price of $140,000 after deducting the original issue discount of $21,000.

Future Capital Requirements

We expect to continue to incur significant operating expenses in connection with our ongoing activities, including conducting clinical trials, manufacturing and seeking regulatory approval of our drug candidates, prexigebersen, BP1002, BP1003 and BP1001-A. Accordingly, we will continue to require substantial additional capital to fund our projected operating requirements. Such additional capital may not be available when needed or on terms favorable to us. In addition, we may seek additional capital due to favorable market conditions or strategic considerations, even if we believe we have sufficient funds for our current and future operating plan. There can be no assurance that we will be able to continue to raise additional capital through the sale of our securities in the future. Our future capital requirements may change and will depend on numerous factors, which are discussed in detail in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” to Part I of our Annual Report on Form 1-K as of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. For more information, see Note 1 to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included herein.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of March 31, 2026, we did not have any material off-balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States has required our management to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements, including the notes thereto, and related disclosures of commitments and contingencies, if any. We consider our critical accounting policies to be those that require the more significant judgments and estimates in the preparation of financial statements. There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies from those disclosed in Note 2 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 1-K as of the year ended December 31, 2025.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Not applicable.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

It is management’s responsibility to establish and maintain adequate disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the company’s principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (who is also our Chief Financial Officer), has reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Following this review and evaluation, our management determined that as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Interim Chief Executive Officer and our Interim Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

On June 24, 2025, we implemented an operational pause in order to conserve capital while we seek potential fundraising transactions. As a result of our inability to secure meaningful funding prior to such operational pause, we also announced the furlough of most of our employees, in order to reduce expenses. As such, the Company determined that its’ disclosure controls and procedures were no longer effective.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

The operational pause, furlough of employees or other actions we take to conserve cash and fund our operations may not achieve our intended outcome

On June 24, 2025, we implemented an operational pause in order to conserve capital while we seek potential fundraising transactions. As a result of our inability to secure meaningful funding prior to such operational pause, we also announced the furlough of most of our employees, in order to reduce expenses. These or other actions we may take may result in unintended consequences and costs, such as the loss of institutional knowledge and expertise, attrition beyond the intended number of employees, decreased morale among our remaining employees, and the risk that we may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the operational pause. In addition, while most employees have been furloughed, certain functions necessary to our operations remain, and we may be unsuccessful in distributing the duties and obligations of furloughed employees. The operational pause could also make it difficult for us to pursue, or prevent us from pursuing, new opportunities and initiatives due to insufficient personnel, or require us to incur additional and unanticipated costs to hire new personnel to pursue such opportunities or initiatives. If we are unable to realize the anticipated benefits from the operational pause, or if we experience significant adverse consequences from the operational pause, our business, financial condition, and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.

FAQ

How much did Bio-Path Holdings (BPTH) lose in Q1 2026?

Bio-Path reported a net loss of $0.27 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, or $0.03 per share. This compares to a net loss of $2.85 million, or $0.40 per share, for the same period in 2025.

What is Bio-Path Holdings’ cash position and going concern status?

Bio-Path disclosed available cash and cash equivalents of about $0.1 million at March 31, 2026. Management states this is insufficient to fund the next 12 months, concluding that substantial doubt exists about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

How leveraged is Bio-Path Holdings (BPTH) as of March 31, 2026?

At March 31, 2026, Bio-Path reported $0.7 million in total assets and $9.2 million in total liabilities. This produced a shareholders’ deficit of $8.5 million, highlighting significant leverage relative to its asset base.

What happened to Bio-Path’s research and development spending in Q1 2026?

Research and development expense dropped to $0.04 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, from $1.98 million a year earlier. The company attributes this sharp decline mainly to cash flow constraints and pausing its clinical trials.

What dilutive events affected Bio-Path Holdings’ share count after Q1 2026?

Subsequent events include Tier 1 Regulation A sales and issuing 40,000,000 common shares to Steel Giants Advisors LLC for accrued compensation and wages. Shares outstanding rose from 9,342,342 at March 31, 2026 to 50,297,451 by May 20, 2026.

Are any of Bio-Path Holdings’ promissory notes in default?

Yes. As of March 31, 2026, the March 2025 and April 2025 Promissory Notes were in default and became convertible under default provisions. Upon default, each note is payable at 150% of principal plus 22% default interest and has a discounted stock conversion feature.

Has Bio-Path’s March 31, 2026 quarterly report been reviewed by auditors?

No. The company states the March 31, 2026 quarterly financial statements are unaudited and have not been reviewed by an independent registered public accounting firm. As a result, the report is considered deficient under applicable Exchange Act requirements.
