Arizona Tribune - CNS Pharmaceuticals Reports Third Quarter 2025 Financial Results and Provides Corporate Update

HOUSTON, TX / ACCESS Newswire / November 17, 2025 / CNS Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:CNSP) ("CNS" or the "Company"), a biopharmaceutical company specializing in the development of novel treatments for primary and metastatic cancers in the brain and central nervous system, today reported its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025 and provided a corporate update.

"As we head into the final quarter of the year, our mission remains centered on delivering meaningful developments for patients battling brain and CNS cancers. We continue to build momentum with our lead product candidate TPI 287 and work towards important, catalytic milestones. With Phase 1 data indicating potential blood-brain barrier penetration and tumor responses, we are aggressively advancing towards our Phase 2 study in GBM. We believe TPI 287 has the potential to be a meaningful new option for patients with brain tumors. Leveraging our established clinical data and team of experts, we are positioned to drive this program forward while creating value for our stakeholders. In the months ahead, we aim to concentrate on initiating the next chapter of TPI 287's development and delivering on our commitment to execute with urgency and precision," commented John Climaco, CEO of CNS Pharmaceuticals.

TPI 287: Late Stage, Novel Blood Brain Barrier Permeable Abeotaxane for Treatment of Brain Malignancies

TPI 287 is an abeotaxane and has the same mechanism of action as other taxanes, e.g. paclitaxel (Taxol®) and docetaxel, in which it stabilizes microtubules and inhibits cell division, causing apoptosis and cell death. While most taxanes are substrates for multi-drug resistant transporters, which maintain the blood brain barrier (BBB), TPI 287's clinical data suggests it has the potential to cross the BBB and treat CNS tumors. In a Phase 1 trial treating glioblastoma patients with TPI 287 in combination with bevacizumab (Avastin®), the efficacy data included 3 Complete Responses and 9 Partial Responses out of 23 evaluable patients. These results are from an early-stage trial and may not be indicative of results in larger, controlled studies.

CNS Pharmaceuticals plans to engage the FDA and obtain feedback on the design of a study potentially focused on the registration of TPI 287 in recurrent GBM in early 2026.

Summary of Financial Results for the Third Quarter 2025

The net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was approximately $3.3 million compared to approximately $5.6 million for the comparable period in 2024.

The Company reported research and development expenses of $2.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to approximately $4.2 million for the comparable period in 2024.

General and administrative expense was approximately $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to approximately $1.4 million for the comparable period in 2024.

As of September 30, 2025, the Company had cash of approximately $9.9 million. While trial costs are difficult to estimate and the Company does not yet have firm estimates as the trial design for the upcoming trial of TPI 287 is not yet fixed, the Company believes that it has sufficient working capital to fund operations into the second half of 2026.

About CNS Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

CNS Pharmaceuticals is a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company developing a pipeline of anti-cancer drug candidates for the treatment of primary and metastatic cancers of the brain and central nervous system.

The Company's drug candidate TPI 287 is an abeotaxane, which stabilizes microtubules and inhibits cell division, causing apoptosis and cell death. The initial clinical efficacy data suggest TPI 287 has the potential to cross the blood-brain barrier and treat CNS tumors. TPI 287 also has been tested in over 350 patients in clinical trials as a monotherapy and in combination with bevacizumab for the treatment of a range of diseases or conditions, including recurrent glioblastoma, recurrent neuroblastoma and medulloblastoma, advanced malignancies, advanced unresectable pancreatic cancer, metastatic melanoma, and breast cancer metastatic to the brain. To date TPI 287 appears to have both an excellent safety profile and high tolerability among patients.
