QSAM Biosciences Reports Third Quarter 2022 Financial Results and Provides Corporate Update

Further Progress Demonstrated in Clinical Program Evaluating CycloSam® Radiopharmaceutical Drug Candidate for Treatment of Metastatic Bone Cancer

AUSTIN, Texas, Nov. 15, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- QSAM Biosciences Inc. (OTCQB: QSAM), a company developing next-generation therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals, including Samarium-153-DOTMP (CycloSam®), for the treatment of bone cancer and related diseases, today announces financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022, as filed with the SEC on November 14, 2022 in the Company’s Form 10-Q, and provides a corporate update.

Recent Corporate Highlights:

Second patient dosed in Phase 1 clinical trial; data continues to demonstrate preliminary positive results.  Completion of the initial cohort grouping of patients is expected in the fourth calendar quarter. 
Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey (RCINJ) has been added as a clinical trial site to begin enrolling patients; expected to help accelerate pace of study and add key expertise. 
Approximately $1 million was raised in a common stock / warrant private placement during third quarter.

“Initial, preliminary data from our second patient dosed with CycloSam® continues to show positive signals in terms of safety and efficacy. While it is too early for formal conclusions to be made of these results, CycloSam generally performed how we expected it to perform, even given the lowest dosage in our dose-escalating study. This is all very encouraging,” stated Douglas R. Baum, CEO and co-founder of the Company.

“We expect the pace of our clinical trials to accelerate in the fourth quarter of 2022 and into 2023. This is partly due to the onboarding as a trial site the highly-regarded Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey, which is a National Cancer Institute (NCI) – designated Comprehensive Cancer Center that treats a significant population of patients who could potentially qualify for our study. We have also been able to raise equity funding on favorable terms from supportive investors who share our long-term vision for QSAM. Our team continues to work towards creating shareholder value in conjunction with our most important mission to help adult and pediatric patients suffering from bone cancer,” added Baum.

Summary Financial Results for the Quarter Ended September 30, 2022:
(All numbers except shares are approximated)

For the three months ended September 30, 2022, we recorded a net loss of $1.23 million, an increase of $0.18 million from our net loss of $1.05 million for the same period in 2021. Our operating expenses were $1.21 million for the third quarter of 2022 as compared to $1.20 million in the 2021 period. The slight increase in operating expenses was largely due to an increase in compensation and related expenses of $0.23 million, an increase in research and development expenses of $0.08 million, and an increase in general and administrative expenses of $0.07 million, offset by a decrease in professional fees of $0.36 million in the three months ended September 30, 2022.

Net loss attributable to common stockholders for the third quarter of 2022 was $1.28 million as compared to $1.92 million for the 2021 period. The net loss attributed to common stockholders includes Series A and Series B preferred contractual dividends and deemed dividends. The net loss attributable to common stockholders, basic and diluted, for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was a loss of $0.75 per share as compared to a loss of $2.45 per share for the 2021 period.

As of September 30, 2022, we had cash on hand of $899,290, primarily from the closing of the first tranche of a common stock and warrant private placement.

As of November 10, 2022, the Company had 1,922,142 common shares outstanding, which includes the issuance of 205,556 shares in the quarter in connection with a private placement and 30,000 shares for a services contract. At the end of the second quarter of 2022 there were approximately 705,419 shares of common stock that could be issued upon the conversion of preferred stock, warrants and convertible debt, excluding employee stock options.

The following tables summarize our results of operations for the periods indicated, and are qualified in their entirety by the Company’s Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2022, filed with the SEC on November 14, 2022, including the financial footnotes contained therein:

About QSAM Biosciences

QSAM Biosciences, Inc. is developing next-generation nuclear medicines for the treatment of cancer and related diseases. QSAM’s initial technology, CycloSam® (Samarium-153 DOTMP), is a clinical-stage bone targeting radiopharmaceutical developed by IsoTherapeutics Group LLC, pioneers in the nuclear medicine space who also have developed other FDA-approved radiopharmaceutical products. QSAM is led by an experienced executive team and Board of Directors that have completed numerous FDA approvals and multiple successful biotech exits.

CycloSam® has demonstrated preliminary safety and efficacy in animal studies and a single patient FDA-cleared human trial performed in 2020 at the Cleveland Clinic. This nuclear technology uses low specific activity Samarium-153 (resulting in far less undesirable europium impurity) and DOTMP, a chelator which targets sites of high mineral turnover (bone) and is believed to reduce or eliminate off-target migration making it, in management’s opinion, an ideal agent to treat primary and secondary bone cancers. Since CycloSam® delivers targeted radiation selectively to the skeletal system, it is also believed to be an important candidate for use in bone marrow ablation as pre-conditioning for bone marrow transplantation, and in procedures to reduce external beam radiation to bone tumors. This multi-patented drug candidate utilizes a radioisotope previously approved by the FDA, combined with a novel targeting chelant that has demonstrated preliminary increased efficacy and decreased side effects in animal models and veterinary treatment of bone cancer in dogs. Further, CycloSam® utilizes a streamlined, just-in-time manufacturing process that is well established.
