Executive Summary

Q3 2015 was steady operationally: net loss of $3.59M and EPS of $(0.14), with R&D up sequentially as clinical activity ramped; cash ended at $30.25M, down from $33.09M in Q2 .
No revenue was reported; OpEx mix shifted to R&D ($2.46M) while G&A declined to $1.14M, reflecting increased clinical progress and leaner overhead .
Management highlighted encouraging preliminary data for CA4P in neuroendocrine tumors and recurrent ovarian cancer and confirmed commencement of an expanded Phase 1b/2 study for OXi4503 in AML, setting multiple near‑term clinical catalysts (SPA for Phase 3 ovarian, GI‑NET interim data, pazopanib combo readouts) .
Wall Street consensus estimates (S&P Global) for Q3 2015 EPS/revenue were unavailable; comparison to estimates could not be performed.

What Went Well and What Went Wrong

What Went Well

Preliminary efficacy signals: “encouraging preliminary data for CA4P in both neuroendocrine tumors and recurrent ovarian cancer” point to biologic activity and support advancing into planned Phase 2/3 programs .
Pipeline execution: “commenced an expanded phase 1b/2 clinical trial of OXi4503 in acute myeloid leukemia” demonstrates momentum in hematology; ovarian and glioblastoma programs progressing toward late‑stage trials .
Regulatory path clarity: Company expected SPA submission for Phase 3 ovarian before year‑end, and described a three‑arm design with PFS primary endpoint, indicating a maturing registrational strategy .

What Went Wrong

Continued losses and rising R&D: Net loss increased sequentially to $3.59M from $3.32M; R&D rose to $2.46M as clinical activities scaled, while cash declined to $30.25M .
Lack of revenue and margin visibility: No reported revenue; margin metrics not meaningful for a clinical‑stage profile, limiting traditional profitability benchmarks .
Estimates unavailable: S&P Global consensus for Q3 2015 EPS and revenue could not be retrieved, reducing the ability to frame beats/misses versus Street expectations.

Guidance Changes

Metric	Period	Previous Guidance	Current Guidance	Change
R&D Expense Run-Rate	Q4 2015	None	“Third quarter is probably the same order of magnitude; fourth quarter maybe up a little” (driven by trial activity; pazopanib costs largely external)	Raised slightly
Ovarian (CA4P + bevacizumab) – SPA Submission	2015	“Definitive FDA feedback by end of Q2” (development program scope)	“Submit SPA before end of 2015” and three‑arm design with PFS as primary endpoint	Timeline updated
AML (OXi4503) Study Status	2015	“Initiate company‑sponsored Phase 1/2”	“Commenced expanded Phase 1b/2 study”	Initiated
Ovarian (CA4P + pazopanib) Readout	Oct 2015	“Present dose‑ranging results in October” (France)	Reiterated as an upcoming catalyst in H2 2015	Maintained

No formal financial guidance (revenue, margins, tax rate) was provided in the quarter .

Management Commentary

“We have recently announced encouraging preliminary data for CA4P in both neuroendocrine tumors and recurrent ovarian cancer and have commenced an expanded phase 1b/2 clinical trial of OXi4503 in acute myeloid leukemia… I continue to be encouraged by the data supporting the efficacy of our vascular disrupting agents” — William D. Schwieterman, M.D., President & CEO .
“Compelling data… in recurrent ovarian cancer where fosbretabulin was combined with Avastin… FDA support to move into Phase III… preparing a special protocol assessment” — CEO remarks on strategy and regulatory path .
“Third quarter is probably the same order of magnitude; fourth quarter maybe up a little [R&D],… pazopanib trial costs largely external” — CEO on near‑term OpEx trajectory .

Q&A Highlights

AML trial design and population: Management plans broad refractory AML enrollment with combination regimens; early signals include complete and partial responses in prior study experience .
Funding flexibility: Company open to traditional and non‑traditional funding; highlighted external funding for the pazopanib trial while retaining commercial rights .
Ovarian Phase 3 design: Three arms (combo, chemotherapy comparator, bevacizumab) with potential skewed randomization to optimize safety database and power; PFS as primary endpoint pending SPA finalization .
GI‑NET interim data timing: Initial data anticipated by year‑end; venue TBD .

Estimates Context

S&P Global consensus estimates for Q3 2015 EPS and revenue were unavailable; direct comparison to Street expectations could not be performed this quarter.
Given the absence of revenue and early‑stage profile, investor focus should remain on clinical/regulatory milestones rather than near‑term earnings metrics.

Key Takeaways for Investors

Clinical catalysts are the principal stock drivers: SPA submission and design clarity for Phase 3 ovarian, GI‑NET interim data, pazopanib combo readouts, and AML trial progression could re‑rate the pipeline value .
Liquidity is adequate for near‑term plans: $30.25M cash at Q3 with moderate burn; monitor R&D ramp as new programs start in late 2015/early 2016 .
Ovarian combo strategy is central: FDA engagement and three‑arm design indicate advancing registrational pathway; successful SPA and execution are key de‑risking events .
Early AML signals warrant attention: Expanded Phase 1b/2 underway; any robust efficacy updates could unlock hematology optionality .
GI‑NET/P‑NET expansion increases optionality: Inclusion of P‑NETs and interim data by YE could broaden addressable markets .
Maintain expectation for continued GAAP losses: No revenue, rising R&D; margin metrics not applicable—valuation anchored on clinical progress .
Trading implication: Positioning around announced timelines (Oct pazopanib data, YE GI‑NET interim, SPA submission) may capture catalyst‑driven volatility; risk management needed given binary clinical outcomes .
