Rhea-AI Filing Summary

NeOnc Technologies Holdings, Inc. (NTHI) reported that Executive Chairman, President and CEO Amir F. Heshmatpour bought an additional 35,000 shares of common stock in the open market on September 15, 2026, for approximately $115,400 at a weighted average price of about $3.30 per share.

Since the company announced positive topline Phase 2a results for intranasal NEO100 on August 12, 2026, Mr. Heshmatpour has accumulated 111,000 shares for roughly $418,700, while Founder and Chief Medical Officer Thomas C. Chen has purchased 49,016 shares for about $210,000, for combined open‑market purchases of 160,016 shares totaling approximately $629,000.

The Phase 2a NEO100-01 study met its primary endpoint, with six‑month progression‑free survival of 48.9% versus a 20% benchmark (p = 0.0047) and median overall survival of 26.09 months, and follows a previously announced $15 million registered direct offering, while NeOnc’s second program, NEO212, has completed Phase 1 dose escalation and set a recommended Phase 2 dose.

Positive

  • None.

Negative

  • None.

Filing Explained

The filing qualifies the positive NEO100 result: it came from a 24-patient, single-arm, open-label study that did not reach planned enrollment, lacked a randomized control arm, and may not predict larger studies or determine the FDA’s view.

NEO100 Phase 2a enrollment 24 patients Single‑arm, open‑label study that did not reach planned 28 patients
registered direct offering financial
"The purchase follows the Company’s $15 million registered direct offering announced"
A registered direct offering is a way for a company to sell new shares of its stock directly to select investors with regulatory approval. This method allows the company to raise funds quickly and efficiently without needing a public auction, similar to offering exclusive access to a limited number of buyers. For investors, it often provides an opportunity to purchase shares at a favorable price, while giving the company immediate access to capital.
Phase 2a medical
"positive topline Phase 2a results for intranasal NEO100"
Phase 2a is an early stage in testing a new medical treatment or drug, where the main goal is to assess its safety and find the right dosage. For investors, this stage indicates whether the treatment shows initial promise before moving on to larger, more definitive studies; progress here can influence expectations for future development and potential success.
progression-free survival medical
"six-month progression-free survival of 48.9% versus a pre-specified 20% benchmark"
Progression-free survival is the length of time during and after a treatment that a patient's disease does not get worse, measured from the start of treatment until the disease shows measurable signs of progression or the patient dies. Investors care because longer progression-free survival in clinical trials often signals that a drug is effective, improving chances of regulatory approval, market adoption, and revenue potential—think of it as a stopwatch showing how long a therapy can keep the illness at bay.
median overall survival medical
"and median overall survival of 26.09 months"
Median overall survival is the middle point of how long patients live after starting treatment, meaning half live longer and half live shorter. It helps doctors understand how effective a treatment is and gives patients an idea of what to expect about their future.
Fast-Track regulatory
"are in Phase II human clinical trials and are advancing under FDA Fast-Track"
A fast-track designation is a regulatory status granted to a potential medical product that aims to speed up development and review because it could address an unmet medical need. For investors, it means the company may reach approval milestones and market access sooner than usual — like getting a VIP pass through airport lines — which can reduce time, cost and risk in bringing a product to patients and revenue.
Investigational New Drug (IND) regulatory
"advancing under FDA Fast-Track and Investigational New Drug (IND) status"
An investigational new drug (IND) is a drug or biologic that is being tested but has not yet been approved for general use; it is the application and formal status that allows a company to begin human clinical trials under regulator oversight. Investors care because an IND marks the transition from lab work to human testing — like getting a permit to run real-world experiments — which creates important milestones, costs, timelines and regulatory risk that drive a development-stage company's value.

CEO Amir Heshmatpour has purchased 111,000 shares for approximately $418,700 since the Company announced positive NEO100 Phase 2a results

 

CALABASAS, Calif., Sept. 16, 2026 – NeOnc Technologies Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: NTHI) (“NeOnc” or the “Company”), a multi-Phase 2 clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel therapies for central nervous system (CNS) cancers, today announced that Executive Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer Amir F. Heshmatpour purchased an additional 35,000 shares of NeOnc common stock in the open market on September 15, 2026, for approximately $115,400, at a weighted average price of approximately $3.30 per share, as will be reported in a Form 4 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

 

The purchase follows the Company’s $15 million registered direct offering announced on September 9, 2026, and extends a series of open-market purchases by NeOnc’s senior leadership since the Company reported positive topline Phase 2a results for intranasal NEO100™ on August 12, 2026. Since that announcement, Mr. Heshmatpour has purchased 111,000 shares for a total of approximately $418,700, at an average cost of approximately $3.77 per share. Thomas C. Chen, MD, PhD, Founder, Chief Medical Officer and Chief Scientific Officer, has purchased 49,016 shares for approximately $210,000. Together, the two executives have purchased 160,016 shares for approximately $629,000 in the open market, as reflected in Form 4 filings with the SEC, including the Form 4 to be filed for the September 15 purchases.

 

“The strength of our Phase 2a results reinforces my conviction in NeOnc’s mission and the potential of our NEO platform,” said Mr. Heshmatpour. “With my most recent open-market purchases, I have now invested more than $1.5 million of my personal funds in NeOnc shares over the past year. This is a personal investment in our mission, our patients and the long-term value we are working to build alongside our shareholders.”

 

The NEO100-01 Phase 2a study met its primary endpoint, with six-month progression-free survival of 48.9% versus a pre-specified 20% benchmark for standard of care (p = 0.0047), and median overall survival of 26.09 months. The Company’s second clinical program, NEO212, has completed Phase 1 dose escalation and established a recommended Phase 2 dose.

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements regarding the potential of NEO100, the interpretation and significance of the Phase 2a results, plans to engage with the FDA, the design and timing of future clinical trials, and the Company’s development strategy. These statements are based on management’s current expectations and are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially.

 

Such risks include, but are not limited to: the Phase 2a study was a single-arm, open-label study of 24 patients that did not reach its planned enrollment of 28 patients and was not powered as a confirmatory trial; results were not compared against a randomized control arm, and comparisons to historical data are inherently limited by differences in patient population, era, and assessment criteria; the primary efficacy analysis presented reflects RANO 2.0 criteria and Kaplan-Meier estimation, and results differ under the response criteria and estimation method specified in the study protocol; early-phase results frequently fail to replicate in larger, controlled studies; safety and tolerability findings in a 24-patient, open-label study may not predict the safety profile observed in larger or longer-duration studies, and additional adverse events may emerge with broader exposure; the FDA may not agree with the Company’s proposed registrational path, endpoints, or analytical methods; and additional pre-specified analyses remain ongoing. Additional risks are described in the Company’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

The Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement except as required by law.
