Traws Pharma files prospectus supplement for up to $5.58 million at-the-market stock sale
The company disclosed a clinical hold on its bird flu drug and a going concern warning while setting terms for a Citizens Capital Markets equity sale program.
Traws Pharma, Inc. filed a prospectus supplement dated July 10, 2026 covering an at-the-market stock offering of up to $5,575,709 through Citizens JMP Securities under an agreement dated March 10, 2025. The company's stock trades on Nasdaq under "TRAW," and closed at $0.70 per share on July 7, 2026.1 Citizens will receive a commission of 3.0% of gross proceeds from each share sale.1
The filing discloses that Traws' influenza program hit a regulatory setback. The FDA notified the company that its US investigational new drug application for tivoxavir marboxil was placed on clinical hold over concerns with the toxicology data package.1 Traws said it is working with the FDA to resolve the hold and advance the program in the US during fiscal year 2027.1
On the COVID-19 side, the company reported progress for ratutrelvir. In February 2026, Traws announced completion of clinical analysis for its 90-patient, open-label Phase 2 study comparing ratutrelvir to PAXLOVID, plus a single arm in PAXLOVID-ineligible subjects, reporting fewer adverse events, no viral rebounds, and equivalent time to symptom resolution, with similar results in the ineligible group.1 In that ineligible population, Traws reported 3 treatment-related adverse events in 30 subjects (10%) versus 7 events in 30 subjects (23.3%) for PAXLOVID, with faster symptom resolution (HR 1.31; 95% CI 0.78-2.20; p=0.018).1
The filing also flags financial strain. Traws said it has substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern, citing recurring losses and an accumulated deficit of $647.1 million as of March 31, 2026.1 As of the prospectus date the company had about $5.0 million in cash, insufficient to fund operations past the first quarter of 2027.1
