Indaptus Therapeutics, Inc. (INDP)·Q3 2025 Earnings Summary
Executive Summary
- Indaptus reported no revenue and a narrower quarterly net loss of $2.98M, driven by lower operating expenses; diluted EPS of -$2.98 beat the Wall Street consensus of -$4.17, an upside of $1.19 per share, aided by disciplined OpEx management and reduced G&A versus last year .
- Clinical update: Safety Lead-In cohort in the Decoy20 + tislelizumab combination showed tolerability at current dose/schedule; efficacy mixed (3 stable disease, 3 progressions), with enrollment paused pending additional efficacy evaluations and assessment of next development options .
- Liquidity improved sequentially versus Q1 and supported by financing activities (SEPA, June convertible notes, September ATM), with cash/equivalents of $5.83M and runway guided into Q1 2026, up from Q2 guidance into Q4 2025 .
- Operational focus shifted to the combination study (Decoy20 + PD‑1), with cost controls implemented since May; management highlighted tolerance data as a potential catalyst pending further efficacy readouts by year-end .
What Went Well and What Went Wrong
What Went Well
- Tolerability confirmed in Safety Lead-In of Decoy20 + tislelizumab; Safety Review Committee judged the combo “appears to be tolerable at the current dose and schedule,” positioning for potential progression upon efficacy clarity .
- Cost discipline and mix changes reduced OpEx: G&A down ~$0.55M YoY; total quarterly operating expenses fell to $2.65M from $3.14M YoY, improving EPS versus consensus and prior periods .
- Financing optionality preserved and executed: ~$2.34M raised via ATM in September; conversion of
$5.7M notes to equity and warrants in July; SEPA access ($20M capacity) with ~$1.75M net proceeds YTD .- CEO: “We remain focused on disciplined execution and look forward to sharing more data from our combination trial by the end of the year.”
What Went Wrong
- Mixed efficacy signals in combo: among six evaluable patients, three progressed and three showed stable disease, leading to a pause in enrollment for further efficacy assessment—introducing timeline uncertainty for full enrollment .
- Other income declined with lower average cash balances; fair value changes on the convertible notes added to reported losses in the period .
- Going concern disclosures remain: substantial doubt flagged; while runway guided into Q1 2026, additional capital is required to sustain development beyond that horizon .

Key Takeaways for Investors
- EPS beat underscores effective OpEx control and lower G&A YoY; near-term trading may react to further efficacy data from the combo study by year-end as a catalyst .
- Clinical risk remains elevated: mixed combo efficacy (stable disease vs progressions) and enrollment pause introduce timeline uncertainty; watch for efficacy updates and Safety Review Committee decisions .
- Liquidity extended into Q1 2026 with active financing (ATM, SEPA, notes conversion); expect continued use of capital markets—dilution risk persists but mitigates near-term going concern pressure .
- Pre-revenue, single-segment R&D model means valuation is driven by clinical milestones; robust safety/tolerability plus any efficacy signal improvement could re-rate sentiment .
- Monitoring items: combo efficacy at next assessments, financing cadence/terms, OpEx trajectory, and any strategic partnering to defray trial costs .
- Near-term stance: event-driven—position sizing should reflect data-readout risk and limited analyst coverage (1 estimate), which can amplify price moves on new information.
- Medium-term thesis: if Decoy20 demonstrates durable efficacy signals in combination with PD‑1, the platform’s immunologic mechanism and tolerability profile could support progression into later-stage trials; financing and dilution management will be key .
