Contineum公布二季度财报并披露J&J已完成PIPE-307二期MDD试验入组

Contineum Therapeutics
. “In addition, Johnson & Johnson completed enrollment last month for its Phase 2 MOONLIGHT-1 trial of JNJ-5120/PIPE-307 in patients with major depressive disorder (MDD).”
Research Updates
Contineum has streamlined its discovery programs to focus on drug candidates for the treatment of inflammatory and fibrotic diseases. These actions have resulted in a limited workforce reduction for the Company’s research team, including Contineum’s Chief Scientific Officer,
Daniel Lorrain
, Ph.D.
“We’re focused on advancing our highest potential and greatest probability-of-success clinical programs, led by our global Phase 2 PROPEL-IPF trial,” said
Carmine Stengone
, CEO,
Contineum Therapeutics
. “We are dedicating our discovery, translational science and clinical development resources to align behind advancing potential treatments for inflammatory and fibrotic diseases. With a projected cash runway that extends through mid-2029, which is approximately one year past the estimated completion of our IPF trial, we are maintaining a disciplined approach to capital allocation.”
Stengone continued, “We’re grateful to Dan for his years of leadership, service and contributions in founding and helping build Contineum into the world-class organization it is today. I’m also thankful to our research team who work tirelessly to advance novel therapies for patients.”
Key Clinical Development Milestones
The Company initiated patient dosing in PROPEL-IPF, a global Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating PIPE-791 for the treatment of patients with IPF, in the first quarter of 2026. PROPEL-IPF is a 26-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial evaluating the efficacy, safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of once-daily, oral PIPE-791 in approximately 324 IPF patients. The primary efficacy endpoint is the change from baseline through week 26 in absolute forced vital capacity (FVC mL). More information on this trial can be found at
https://clinicaltrials.gov
(NCT07284459).
Johnson & Johnson completed enrollment of 107 adult participants for its Phase 2 MOONLIGHT-1 trial of JNJ-5120/PIPE-307 in
June 2026
. This randomized, double-blind, multicenter, placebo-controlled, proof-of-concept trial is evaluating the efficacy, safety and tolerability of JNJ-5120/PIPE-307 as monotherapy in adult participants with major depressive disorder (MDD). More information on this trial can be found at
https://clinicaltrials.gov
(NCT06785012).
On
April 30, 2026
, the Company reported positive topline data from its exploratory Phase 1b trial of PIPE-791 for the non-opioid treatment of chronic osteoarthritis pain or chronic low back pain. The trial met its primary objective of assessing safety and tolerability, demonstrating an adverse event profile generally consistent with previous PIPE-791 clinical trials. In addition, patients treated with PIPE-791 generally demonstrated improvements from baseline in pain that were numerically greater than the placebo arm. Contineum believes these data support further evaluation of PIPE-791 for the potential treatment of chronic pain. More information on this trial can be found at
https://clinicaltrials.gov
(NCT06810245).
Second-Quarter 2026 Financial Results
Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were
$236.6 million
as of
June 30, 2026
. Contineum believes its cash resources are sufficient to fund its planned operations through mid-2029.
Research and development expenses were
$12.7 million
, a 10 percent decrease from the second quarter of 2025. This decrease was primarily driven by a reduction in expenses related to the completion of the Company’s PIPE-307 VISTA trial and lower costs related to the PIPE-791 chronic pain trial, partially offset by increased expenses for the PIPE-791 IPF program and higher employee-related costs.
General and administrative expenses were
$4.7 million
, a 23 percent increase from the second quarter of 2025.
The increase was primarily driven by higher stock-based compensation and employee-related costs.
Net loss was
$15.2 million
for the three months ended
June 30, 2026
, as compared to
$16.0 million
for the second quarter of 2025.
