Insights
Allarity shows clinical momentum in ovarian cancer, expanding IP portfolio while maintaining $17.8M cash and reduced liabilities.
Allarity Therapeutics' Q2 2025 update reflects solid execution on their stenoparib-focused strategy, with tangible progress across clinical, operational, and financial fronts. The company has successfully initiated patient enrollment in their refined Phase 2 ovarian cancer trial protocol, representing a critical advancement for their lead dual-mechanism PARP/WNT inhibitor. This trial targets a well-defined patient population with recurrent, platinum-resistant ovarian cancer - an area of significant unmet need.
On the IP front, securing Australian patent acceptance for the Stenoparib DRP® companion diagnostic strengthens their global intellectual property position, which is essential for future commercialization. The company has also expanded their DRP® platform application to antibody therapies like daratumumab, demonstrating the versatility of their patient selection technology beyond small molecules.
Financially, Allarity ended Q2 with
The company has enhanced revenue potential through a new licensing and laboratory services agreement with an EU biotech for breast cancer DRP® algorithms, diversifying their business model beyond pure drug development. Additionally, the research collaboration with the Indiana Biosciences Research Institute could yield valuable mechanistic insights about stenoparib's dual inhibition properties, potentially expanding its application to additional cancer types like colorectal cancer.
The leadership additions of Jesper Høiland (Board) and Jeffrey Ervin (CFO) bring commercial and financial expertise that complements their clinical development focus. With the VA-funded small cell lung cancer combination trial expected to begin enrollment in H2 2025, Allarity has multiple potential catalysts ahead while maintaining a disciplined financial approach.
- Successfully initiated enrollment in advanced Phase 2 ovarian cancer trial
- Expanded global IP protection by securing Australian patent acceptance for the stenoparib DRP® companion diagnostic
- Secured new service contract with EU biotech for Allarity Medical Laboratory
TARPON SPRINGS, Fla., August 15, 2025 -- Allarity Therapeutics, Inc. (“Allarity� or the “Company�) (NASDAQ: ALLR), a Phase 2 clinical-stage pharmaceutical company dedicated to developing stenoparib—a differentiated, dual PARP and WNT pathway inhibitor—today reported financial results and provided an update on operational highlights for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025.
“The second quarter of 2025 marked a period of strong operational execution for Allarity. Most notably, we continued to advance our lead program, stenoparib, with strong momentum in our new ovarian cancer trial protocol. In parallel, we expanded our proprietary DRP® platform—both through a new commercial agreement granting a non-exclusive global license for our breast cancer DRP to a partner company, and scientifically with the development of a new DRP for the antibody therapy, daratumumab. On the financial front, we maintained a solid cash position and reduced liabilities, including a
“I would also like to take the opportunity to look further back, as I have now been the CEO for just over 1.5 years. I’m struck by how quickly our Company’s situation has improved. Just a year ago, we were still working to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s listing requirements. At the same time, we had just completed the cleanup of a previously complex capitalization table—which had deterred many prospective investors—and we had committed to a more focused strategy centered solely on the advancement of stenoparib. Thanks to the dedication of our team, the guidance of our board, and the support of our shareholders, we have resolved all compliance and regulatory matters, strengthened our leadership with seasoned management professionals bringing extensive life sciences experience to our board and executive team, and are successfully executing our stenoparib-focused strategy—having launched a refined monotherapy trial protocol, which is now steadily enrolling. In addition, we have advanced the Veterans Administration–funded combination trial of stenoparib and temozolomide in small cell lung cancer, which may provide valuable insights into stenoparib’s potential beyond ovarian cancer—a potential we believe could also extend to additional cancer types. Importantly, we have maintained disciplined spending. Therefore, as we present this business update—showing solid progress in the advancement of stenoparib, continued execution of our IP strategy, expansion of our DRP platform, growth in our laboratory activities, and new collaborations with R&D partners—I’m encouraged that Allarity is on the right path toward building greater interest in stenoparib, our unique DRP® technology, and thereby the Company as a whole. I am deeply grateful for the trust and support from everyone who has made this progress possible.�
Clinical and Drug Development Progress

About Stenoparib
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. 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.
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.
About Allarity Therapeutics
