Janux Therapeutics, Inc., a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing novel immunotherapies, reported significant financial developments in its recent 10-Q filing for the third quarter of 2024. The company, which has not yet generated product revenue, continues to rely on collaboration agreements for funding, particularly with Merck Sharp & Dohme Corp.
As of September 30, 2024, Janux's total assets increased to $695.0 million, up from $380.4 million at the end of 2023. This growth was primarily driven by a substantial rise in short-term investments, which reached $631.3 million compared to $324.8 million at the end of the previous year. The company's cash and cash equivalents also improved, totaling $26.8 million, up from $19.2 million.
In terms of revenue, Janux reported collaboration revenue of $439,000 for Q3 2024, a significant decrease from $2.5 million in Q3 2023. However, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, collaboration revenue increased to $10.6 million from $5.6 million in the same period of 2023. The decline in quarterly revenue was attributed to the completion of performance obligations related to collaboration targets.
Operating expenses surged to $36.3 million in Q3 2024, compared to $18.3 million in Q3 2023, reflecting increased research and development costs as the company advances its TRACTr and TRACIr platforms. The loss from operations for Q3 2024 was $(35.8) million, up from $(15.8) million in the prior year. The net loss for the quarter also widened to $(28.1) million from $(11.6) million in Q3 2023.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, Janux reported a net loss of $(48.8) million, slightly higher than the $(46.5) million loss recorded in the same period of 2023. The company’s accumulated deficit increased to $217.5 million as of September 30, 2024.
Strategically, Janux has been active in capital raising, closing an underwritten offering in March 2024 that generated net proceeds of $320.1 million. This followed a previous offering in July 2023, which raised $56.5 million. The company anticipates needing substantial additional capital to support ongoing research and development activities.
Janux's workforce stood at 76 employees as of September 30, 2024, and the company continues to expand its operational capabilities to support its clinical development efforts. The management remains optimistic about having sufficient capital to fund operations for at least the next 12 months, despite the anticipated increase in operating losses.
