SAN DIEGO, Dec. 8, 2016

SAN DIEGO, Dec. 8, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- OncoSec Medical Incorporated ("OncoSec") (NASDAQ: ONCS), a company developing DNA-based intratumoral cancer immunotherapies, today announced financial results for the fiscal first quarter 2017.

"We are delivering on our commitment to address an unmet medical need in melanoma with ImmunoPulse® IL-12. We are pleased with the early clinical response data presented from the melanoma combination trial, and we are focused on advancing our lead program – ImmunoPulse® IL-12 – in anti-PD-1 non-responder advanced melanoma patients. Based on our current cash runway, we are positioned to meet our value-driving clinical and regulatory milestones into calendar 2018 and have a clear strategy to expand our therapeutic platform," noted Punit Dhillon, OncoSec President and Chief Executive Officer. "Our primary focus for the next year is to initiate a melanoma registration-directed clinical study. We believe we will generate meaningful data in 2017 and 2018 to support the discussions with the FDA and a future biologics license application (BLA) to attract a partner, who is ready to advance this innovative therapy."

FINANCIAL RESULTS
For the first quarter of fiscal 2017, OncoSec reported a net loss of $5.6 million or $0.29 per share, compared to a net loss of $7.0 million, or $0.47 per share for the same period last year. The decrease in net loss for the quarter ended October 31, 2016, compared with the same period in fiscal 2016, resulted primarily from (i) the completion of the melanoma monotherapy extension clinical trial, (ii) decreased engineering and lab supplies costs due to the completion of next-generation electroporation prototypes, (iii) decreased outside service fees due to leveraging in-house capabilities, and (iv) decreased stock-based compensation expense. There were no revenues for the quarter ended October 31, 2016 or October 31, 2015.

Research and development expenses were $3.1 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2017, compared to $3.7 million for the same period in fiscal 2016. General and administrative expenses were $2.5 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2017, compared to $3.4 million for the same period in fiscal 2016.

At October 31, 2016, OncoSec had $24.4 million in cash and cash equivalents, as compared to $28.7 million of cash and cash equivalents at July 31, 2016. OncoSec expects these funds to be sufficient to allow it to continue to operate its business for at least the next 12 months.
