In March 2021, Odonate announced the discontinuation of development of tesetaxel and its intent to wind down tesetaxel-related operations. As of June 30, 2021, Odonate has transitioned all patients in tesetaxel studies to appropriate alternative therapies or facilitated continuation of treatment with tesetaxel under compassionate use programs where appropriate.

As of June 30, 2021, Odonate had $110.1 million in cash compared to $157.3 million as of December 31, 2020. This decrease in cash resulted primarily from cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2021 of $47.9 million. Odonate’s net loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 was $22.0 million and $55.8 million, or $0.58 and $1.48 per share, respectively, compared to $33.4 million and $63.6 million, or $1.09 and $2.07 per share, respectively, for the same periods in 2020.
