WESTLAKE VILLAGE, CA / ACCESSWIRE / November 24, 2020 / Inspyr Therapeutics, Inc. (OTC PINK:NSPX), a pharmaceutical company focused on the research and development of novel targeted precision therapeutics for the treatment of cancer, today reported its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2020.

Business Highlights

• During the third quarter, the company continued to execute on implementing a new corporate strategy by strengthening its portfolio and securing additional capital to pursue long-term strategic objectives and create value for stakeholders.
• In October 2020, we sold additional convertible debentures resulting in $500,000 from existing investors.
• In October 2020, we announced that the company would strengthen its strategic collaboration with Ridgeway Therapeutics by reacquiring its novel immune-oncology precision targeting platform for the treatment of cancer through the cancellation of our prior licensing agreement.
• Inspyr and Ridgeway will pursue the research and development of RT-AR001, a potential first-in-class adenosine receptor modulator. The novel delivery technology is differentiated by its microparticle formulation that allows for better tumor infiltration and enhanced outcomes when administered intra-tumorally and has demonstrated delayed tumor growth, reduced metastases and enhanced anti-tumor immune activities in pre-clinical studies.

The company is now in the process of commencing corporate operations including: pre-clinical research and development, manufacturing, regulatory and business development. The company is dedicated to continuing to execute its new corporate strategy and will provide timely updates to shareholders.
