Allarity Therapeutics Reports Full Year 2025 Financial Results and Corporate Progress
- Strengthened financial position through disciplined cost management, with a year-end 2025 cash position of $14.7 million and runway into mid-2028
- Received FDA Fast Track designation for stenoparib, enabling accelerated development in advanced ovarian cancer
- Durable clinical benefit observed in ongoing stenoparib ovarian cancer study, including patients treated for nearly 30 months, with new Phase 2 protocol implemented
- Expansion of stenoparib development beyond ovarian cancer with the launch of a VA-funded Phase 2 combination study in recurrent small cell lung cancer
TARPON SPRINGS, Fla., March 31, 2026 – Allarity Therapeutics, Inc. ("Allarity" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:ALLR), a Phase 2 clinical-stage pharmaceutical company dedicated to developing stenoparib (2X-121)—a differentiated, dual PARP and WNT pathway inhibitor—
today announced financial results for the year ended December 31, 2025.
"2025 was a year of continued execution and clinical progress for Allarity as we advanced stenoparib toward pivotal trials, FDA approval and commercialization in ovarian cancer. The FDA's Fast Track designation for stenoparib underscores both the encouraging clinical benefit we have observed to date and the significant unmet medical need in this patient population. Over the course of the year, we initiated enrollment in a new Phase 2 clinical trial protocol designed to optimize dosing and refine future DRP-based patient selection in platinum-resistant ovarian cancer patients. This protocol reflects the compelling and durable clinical benefit we have observed throughout 2024 and 2025 and supports the acceleration of stenoparib's development," stated Thomas Jensen, Chief Executive Officer of Allarity Therapeutics.
"Furthermore, we broadened the potential reach of stenoparib through the launch of our first combination study evaluating stenoparib with temozolomide in recurrent small cell lung cancer in collaboration with the U.S. Veterans Administration. At the same time, we strengthened the scientific foundation of stenoparib through new mechanistic research collaborations, expanded the reach of our DRP® companion diagnostic platform through revenue-generating licensing agreements, and strengthened our leadership team. We achieved this while also reducing cash used in operating activities by approximately $2.4 million. These achievements position Allarity to deliver meaningful clinical milestones and create long-term value for patients and shareholders alike."
2025 Corporate Highlights and Recent Developments
Clinical and Drug Development Progress
- Stenoparib received Fast Track designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of advanced ovarian cancer, enabling more frequent regulatory engagement and the potential for accelerated review pathways.
- Durable Clinical Benefit as monotherapy dosed twice daily observed: Updated analyses from the ongoing Phase 2 study in advanced ovarian cancer continued to demonstrate durable clinical benefit in heavily pre-treated patients. Certain patients have remained on therapy nearly 30 months, highlighting the long-term therapeutic potential of stenoparib in this population.
- New Trial Protocol Implemented and Enrolling: Following an in-depth review of maturing clinical data and consultation with leading gynecologic oncologists, the Company implemented a new Phase 2 clinical trial protocol during 2025 designed to accelerate stenoparib's development toward pivotal studies, regulatory approval and eventual commercialization. The protocol focuses on patients with advanced, recurrent platinum-resistant or platinum-ineligible ovarian cancer—a population with limited therapeutic options—and aims to optimize stenoparib dosing while refining the DRP® companion diagnostic to better identify patients most likely to benefit from treatment.
- First Combination Trial Launched: During 2025, Allarity announced and initiated a Phase 2 trial evaluating stenoparib in combination with temozolomide for recurrent small cell lung cancer (SCLC), fully funded by the U.S. Veterans Administration. This study represents the first clinical evaluation of the stenoparib–temozolomide combination and expands the development potential of stenoparib beyond ovarian cancer into additional tumor types with significant unmet medical need. Stenoparib has demonstrated a favorable tolerability profile in clinical studies to date, which may support its use in combination with DNA-damaging agents such as temozolomide while potentially avoiding the dose-limiting hematologic toxicities that have historically constrained the use of 1st generation PARP inhibitors in combination regimens. Preparations for the study were completed during 2025, and the trial subsequently opened for enrollment across 11 VA medical centers in the United States, with the first patients dosed in early 2026.
- Presentations of Scientific and Clinical Data: The Company presented updated clinical and scientific data at multiple major oncology conferences during 2025, including the AACR Special Conference on Ovarian Cancer and the AACR Annual Meeting, highlighting stenoparib's clinical outcomes as well as the expanding capabilities of the DRP® platform.
Leadership Changes
During 2025, Allarity strengthened its leadership team and governance structure.
- Jeff Ervin was appointed Chief Financial Officer of Allarity Therapeutics in July 2025. Mr. Ervin brings nearly two decades of executive leadership experience across healthcare and biotechnology, including previous roles as Chief Executive Officer of NASDAQ-listed IMAC Holdings and Co-Chief Financial Officer at NYSE-listed DDC Enterprises.
- Jesper Høiland was appointed to the Company's Board of Directors in 2025. Mr. Høiland brings more than three decades of global pharmaceutical leadership experience, including senior executive roles at Novo Nordisk and Ascendis Pharma.
Corporate Development and Financial Strengthening
- DRP® Platform Expansion: Allarity initiated commercial licensing of its DRP® companion diagnostic platform, marking an important step toward broader external utilization of the Company's proprietary patient-selection technology.
- Allarity Medical Laboratory Growth: In connection with the licensing of its DRP® companion diagnostic platform, Allarity's Medical Laboratory in Denmark also became a supplier of commercial transcriptomic analysis services, supporting the generation of laboratory service revenue.
- IP Portfolio Expansion: The Company strengthened its intellectual property portfolio through the acceptance of an Australian patent covering the stenoparib DRP companion diagnostic.
- Recent Financing: In March 2026, Allarity closed a $20 million non-convertible debt financing with Streeterville Capital designed to accelerate the advancement of stenoparib toward pivotal development, FDA approval and commercialization and extend the Company's cash runway into mid-2028.
2025 Financial Results
Results of Operations for the Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2025, compared to the Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2024.

The improvement in net loss, $0.78 per share in 2025 compared to $15.65 per share in 2024, reflects continued cost discipline and operational efficiencies as the company advanced the clinical development of stenoparib.
About Stenoparib/2X-121
Stenoparib is an orally available, small-molecule dual-targeted inhibitor of PARP1/2 and tankyrase 1/2. At present, tankyrases are attracting significant attention as emerging therapeutic targets for cancer, principally due to their role in regulating the WNT signaling pathway. Aberrant WNT/β-catenin signaling has been implicated in the development and progression of numerous cancers. By inhibiting PARP and blocking WNT pathway activation, stenoparib's unique therapeutic action shows potential as a promising therapeutic for many cancer types, including ovarian cancer, Small Cell Lung Cancer and colorectal cancer. Allarity has secured exclusive global rights for the development and commercialization of stenoparib, which was originally developed by Eisai Co. Ltd. and was formerly known under the names E7449 and 2X-121. Allarity has two ongoing Phase 2 trial protocols for stenoparib in Ovarian Cancer patients. In the first, patients who had had 2+ lines of therapy were enrolled on stenoparib and given drug twice daily. This protocol has been closed to further enrollment but continues for the enrolled patients who are still receiving benefit from stenoparib administration. The updated data from this study were presented at this AACR special conference on advances in Ovarian Cancer. Note that, as these data are from an ongoing trial, analyses may change as the study fully matures. An amended protocol designed expressly to capitalize on the emerging clinical experience with stenoparib in platinum resistant patients began enrolling patients this summer. This amended protocol enrolls only platinum resistant or platinum-ineligible patients and is designed to accelerate the clinical development of stenoparib toward FDA approval.
About the Drug Response Predictor – DRP® Companion Diagnostic
Allarity uses its drug-specific DRP® to select those patients who, by the gene expression signature of their cancer, may have a high likelihood of benefiting from a specific drug. By screening patients before treatment, and only treating those patients with a sufficiently high, drug-specific DRP score, the therapeutic benefit rate may be enhanced. The DRP method builds on the comparison of sensitive vs. resistant human cancer cell lines, including transcriptomic information from cell lines, combined with clinical tumor biology filters and prior clinical trial outcomes. DRP is based on messenger RNA expression profiles from patient biopsies. The DRP® platform has shown an ability to provide a statistically significant prediction of the clinical outcome from drug treatment in cancer patients across dozens of clinical studies (both retrospective and prospective). The DRP platform, which may be useful in all cancer types and is patented for dozens of anti-cancer drugs, has been extensively published in the peer-reviewed literature.
