"This $5 million in funding is a statement of confidence and support for NKGen, our team, and our story in a challenging market. This provides breathing room for us to execute our plans, continue to pursue larger funding opportunities with both financial and strategic investors, and capitalize on our outstanding structured securities upon registration of the underlying shares. It will help fund our clinical trials and operations, filing of our annual report on Form 10-K, and filing of an amended registration statement on Form S-1 soon thereafter. This will help us to achieve additional value-creating milestones across both our neurodegenerative and oncology clinical programs and repay certain bridge funding liabilities," said Paul Y. Song, MD, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of NKGen Biotech.
Dr. Song continued, "We are intently focused on our upcoming Phase 2 Alzheimer's clinical trial and recently submitted an IND for Parkinson's disease while streamlining our resources for maximum efficiency. Accordingly, we have successfully reduced our monthly burn rate for operations and clinical trials by almost 50%. In addition, we have several catalysts expected this year including data readouts (both safety and cognitive) for the Phase 1 portion of our moderate Alzheimer's trial and the initiation of Phase 2."
