Pyxis Oncology Reports Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results and Advances MICVO Toward Key 2026 Clinical Milestones
Pyxis Oncology reported a second quarter net loss of $25.3 million, or $0.40 per share, with zero revenue compared to $2.8 million in the prior year, but strengthened its balance sheet by closing a private placement that delivered $50 million in upfront gross proceeds.
The financing extends the company’s cash runway into the second quarter of 2027, providing sufficient capital to fund operations through upcoming clinical milestones for its lead asset MICVO.
Management remains on track to report updated monotherapy data from the Phase 1 study in second-line head and neck cancer this fall, followed by updated combination data with Merck’s KEYTRUDA in the fourth quarter of 2026.
