“We continued to execute both clinically and operationally last quarter. We remain on track to be fully enrolled in our Transport NPC study by the end of the year and can’t thank the NPC community enough for their continued support in working with us in advancing the study of Trappsol® Cyclo™ as a potential treatment to all living with NPC. In addition, we received continued support financially from our board of directors and welcomed strategic investor Rafael Holdings in two successful fund raises completed following the end of the quarter. Our commitment to the NPC community remains steadfast and strong; we are here with you,” commented N. Scott Fine, CEO of Cyclo Therapeutics.

Summary of Financial Results for the First Quarter 2023

Research and development expenses increased 213% to $3.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, from $1.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022.
