It is more volatile than 75% of American stocks, typically moving 11% a week. This is considered a minor risk. Share price volatility indicates the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. It also increases the risk of potential losses in the short term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Less than 1 year of cash runway based on free cash flow trend (-US$16m free cash flow). Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 46% per year for the foreseeable future. Minor Risks Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable next year (US$24m net loss next year). Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (11% average weekly change). Revenue is less than US$5m (US$1.9m revenue). Market cap is less than US$100m (US$16.5m market cap).お知らせ • Jul 13DURECT Receives Additional 180-Day Grace Period from Nasdaq to Regain Compliance with the Minimum Bid Price RequirementAs previously reported on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the ‘SEC’) on January 10, 2025, DURECT Corporation (the ‘Company’) received a letter (the ‘Notice’) from The Nasdaq Stock Market (‘Nasdaq’), dated January 9, 2025, advising the Company that for 30 consecutive trading days preceding the date of the Notice, the bid price of the Company’s common stock had closed below the $1.00 per share minimum required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the ‘Minimum Bid Price Requirement’). The Notice stated that the Company had 180 days, or until July 8, 2025, to demonstrate its compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. On July 9, 2025, the Company received approval from the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq for an additional 180-day grace period, or until January 5, 2026, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement (the ‘Approval’). To regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement and qualify for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, the minimum bid price per share of the Company’s common stock must be at least $1.00 for at least ten consecutive business days during the additional 180-day grace period. If the Company does not regain compliance during this additional grace period, its common stock would be subject to delisting by Nasdaq. As part of its request for an additional 180-day grace period, the Company notified Nasdaq that (i) the Company meets the continued listing standard for market value of publicly-held shares and all other applicable requirements for initial listing standards of The Nasdaq Capital Market, other than the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, and (ii) if the Company’s stock price does not recover sufficiently during the additional grace period, it anticipates implementing and completing a reverse stock split by no later than December 16, 2025, if necessary. The Company intends to continue actively monitoring the closing bid price for the Company’s common stock during the additional grace period, and will consider available options to resolve the deficiency and regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. If the Company does not regain compliance within the additional grace period, Nasdaq will provide notice that the Company’s common stock will be subject to delisting. The Company would then be entitled to appeal that determination to a Nasdaq hearings panel. There can be no assurance that the Company will regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement during the 180-day additional grace period or maintain compliance with the other Nasdaq listing requirements.最新情報をもっと見るRecent updatesお知らせ • Sep 13DURECT Corporation(NasdaqCM:DRRX) dropped from NASDAQ Composite IndexDURECT Corporation has been dropped from the NASDAQ Composite Indexお知らせ • Sep 11+ 1 more updateBausch Health Companies Inc.

The AHFIRM trial was a Phase 2b randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, international, multi-center study that evaluated the safety and efficacy of the Company's epigenetic modulator, larsucosterol, for the treatment of subjects with severe alcohol-associated hepatitis (AH). It enrolled 307 patients across three arms: placebo, which consisted of standard of care, with or without methylprednisolone capsules at the investigators' discretion, larsucosterol (30 mg) and larsucosterol (90 mg). A total of 62 centers enrolled patients including 46 US sites that enrolled 76% of patients. Topline results from AHFIRM were previously announced by DURECT. Key data highlights from the AHFIRM trial, include: Both the 30 mg and 90 mg larsucosterol doses demonstrated clinically meaningful trends in reducing 90-day mortality with mortality reductions of 41% (p=0.068) in the 30 mg arm and 35% (p=0.124) in the 90 mg arm compared with placebo. The reductions in mortality at 90 days were more pronounced in U.S. patients with reductions of 57% (p=0.014) in the 30 mg arm and 58% (p=0.008) in the 90 mg arm compared with placebo; computations for random sample analysis suggest that the U.S. results of larsucosterol treatment were unlikely to be an artifact of random chance. The numerical improvement in the primary endpoint of mortality or liver transplant at 90 days did not achieve statistical significance for either dose of larsucosterol. Variations in time from hospitalization to first dose highlighted the importance of timely treatment in patients with severe AH. Larsucosterol appeared safe and well tolerated in the AHFIRM trial and the number of treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs) and newly-occurring significant complications of liver disease in both larsucosterol groups were similar to those in placebo. AHFIRM was a Phase 2b randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, international, multi-center study conducted in subjects with severe alcohol-associated hepatitis (AH) to evaluate the saFety and effIcacy of laRsucosterol treatMent (AHFIRM). The study was comprised of three arms and enrolled 307 patients, with approximately 100 patients in each arm: (1) Placebo, which consisted of standard of care, with or without methylprednisolone capsules at the investigators' discretion; (2) larsucosterol (30 mg); and (3) larsucosterol (90 mg). Patients in the larsucosterol arms received the same supportive care without steroids. The primary outcome measure was the 90-day incidence of mortality or liver transplantation for patients treated with larsucosterol compared to those treated with placebo, and the key secondary endpoint was 90-day survival. The Company enrolled patients at clinical trial sites across the U.S., EU, U.K., and Australia. In November 2023, the Company announced topline data for the AHFIRM Trial. Reflecting the life-threatening nature of AH and the lack of therapeutic options, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted larsucosterol Fast Track Designation and Breakthrough Therapy Designation for the treatment of AH.お知らせ • Jan 11DURECT Corporation Receives Non-Compliance Letter from Nasdaq Regarding Minimum Bid Price RequirementOn January 9, 2025, DURECT Corporation, a Delaware Corporation (the Company"), received a letter (the Notice") from the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market (Nasdaq") informing the Company that, because the closing bid price for the Company's common stock listed on Nasdaq was below $1.00 for 30 consecutive trading days, the Company is not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, as set in Nasdaq Marketplace Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the Minimum Bid Price Requirement"). In accordance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has a period of 180 calendar days from January 9, 2025, or until July 8, 2025, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. If at any time before July 8, 2025, the closing bid price of the Company's common stock closes at or above $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive trading days, Nasdaq will provide written notification that the Company has achieved compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, and the matter will be resolved. If the Company does not regain compliance during the compliance period ending on July 8, 2025, then Nasdaq may grant the Company a second 180 calendar day grace period to regain compliance, provided the Company (i) meets the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly-held shares and all other initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market, other than the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, and (ii) the Company notifies Nasdaq of its intent to cure the deficiency. The Company intends to continue actively monitoring the closing bid price for the Company's common stock between now and July 8, 2025, and will consider available options to resolve the deficiency and regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement.

The Company would then be entitled to appeal that determination to a Nasdaq hearings panel. There can be no assurance that the Company will regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement during the 180-day compliance period, secure a second period of 180 calendar days to regain compliance, or maintain compliance with the other Nasdaq listing requirements.Breakeven Date Change • Dec 31Forecast to breakeven in 2027The 2 analysts covering DURECT expect the company to break even for the first time.

In accordance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has a period of 180 calendar days from December 21, 2023, or until June 18, 2024, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. If at any time before June 18, 2024, the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock closes at or above $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive trading days, Nasdaq will provide written notification that the Company has achieved compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, and the matter would be resolved. If the Company does not regain compliance during the compliance period ending on June 18, 2024, then Nasdaq may grant the Company a second 180 calendar day grace period to regain compliance, provided the Company (i) meets the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly-held shares and all other initial listing standards for the Nasdaq Capital Market, other than the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, and (ii) the Company notifies Nasdaq of its intent to cure the deficiency. The Company intends to continue actively monitoring the closing bid price for the Company’s common stock between now and June 18, 2024, and will consider available options to resolve the deficiency and regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. If the Company does not regain compliance within the allotted compliance period, including any extensions that may be granted by Nasdaq, Nasdaq will provide notice that the Company’s common stock will be subject to delisting. The Company would then be entitled to appeal that determination to a Nasdaq hearings panel. There can be no assurance that the Company will regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement during the 180-day compliance period, secure a second period of 180 calendar days to regain compliance, or maintain compliance with the other Nasdaq listing requirements.お知らせ • Nov 10DURECT Corporation to Report Q3, 2023 Results on Nov 13, 2023DURECT Corporation announced that they will report Q3, 2023 results on Nov 13, 2023お知らせ • Nov 08DURECT Corporation Announces Topline Results from Phase 2b AHFIRM Trial of Larsucosterol in Alcohol-Associated Hepatitis with Promising Effect on MortalityDURECT Corporation announced topline results from its AHFIRM trial, a Phase 2b randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study evaluating the safety and efficacy of larsucosterol in 307 patients with severe alcohol-associated hepatitis (AH). Topline data from AHFIRM showed: Both the 30 mg and 90 mg larsucosterol doses demonstrated a compelling and clinically meaningful trend in reduction of mortality at 90 days, the key secondary endpoint, with mortality reductions of 41% (p=0.070) in the 30 mg arm and 35% (p=0.126) in the 90 mg arm compared with SOC. The numerical improvement in the primary endpoint of mortality or transplant at 90 days did not achieve statistical significance for either dose of larsucosterol. Both doses of larsucosterol showed a more pronounced reduction in mortality in patients enrolled in the U.S., representing 76% of patients enrolled in the trial. The reductions in mortality at 90 days were 57% (p=0.014) for the 30 mg arm and 58% (p=0.008) for the 90 mg arm compared with SOC. Larsucosterol was safe and well tolerated. There were fewer treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) in the larsucosterol arms compared with SOC. DURECT intends to have an End of Phase 2 (EOP2) meeting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to discuss the trial results and the Phase 3 registration trial design in the first quarter of 2024. DURECT also intends to present the results of AHFIRM at an upcoming medical meeting. Key AHFIRM trial results: Mortality or Liver Transplantation at 90 Days: The primary endpoint for the AHFIRM trial was the reduction in mortality or liver transplantation at 90 days. The endpoint was analyzed using a hierarchical assessment of patient outcomes to calculate a win probability for each of the 30 mg and 90 mg dose of larsucosterol compared with SOC. The results for the primary endpoint were not statistically significant for either the 30 mg or 90 mg doses compared with SOC, though a numerical improvement was observed. Mortality at 90 Days: Mortality at 90 Days was a key secondary endpoint for the AHFIRM trial. In this analysis, the 30 mg and 90 mg doses of larsucosterol showed numerical trends toward a clinically meaningful survival benefit with 90-day mortality reductions of 41% and 35%, respectively, when compared to SOC, although these results were not statistically significant.Mortality at 90 Days (U.S. patients): When further analyzed by geography, both the 30 mg and 90 mg doses showed an enhanced survival benefit at 90 days with reductions in 90-day mortality of 57% and 58%, respectively, in patients enrolled in the U.S., which represented 76% of the total patients enrolled. Safety and Tolerability: Both the 30 mg and 90 mg doses of larsucosterol were well tolerated. There were fewer TEAEs in the larsucosterol arms compared with SOC.お知らせ • Sep 09Durect Corporation Announces Last Patient Last Visit in Phase 2B Ahfirm Trial of Larsucosterol in Alcohol-Associated HepatitisDURECT Corporation announced that the last patient has completed the study protocol in the Company's AHFIRM trial.

New Risk • Jul 16New minor risk - Share price stabilityThe company's share price has been volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 75% of American stocks, typically moving 11% a week. This is considered a minor risk. Share price volatility indicates the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. It also increases the risk of potential losses in the short term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Less than 1 year of cash runway based on free cash flow trend (-US$16m free cash flow). Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 46% per year for the foreseeable future. Minor Risks Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable next year (US$24m net loss next year). Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (11% average weekly change). Revenue is less than US$5m (US$1.9m revenue). Market cap is less than US$100m (US$16.5m market cap).
お知らせ • Jul 13DURECT Receives Additional 180-Day Grace Period from Nasdaq to Regain Compliance with the Minimum Bid Price RequirementAs previously reported on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the ‘SEC’) on January 10, 2025, DURECT Corporation (the ‘Company’) received a letter (the ‘Notice’) from The Nasdaq Stock Market (‘Nasdaq’), dated January 9, 2025, advising the Company that for 30 consecutive trading days preceding the date of the Notice, the bid price of the Company’s common stock had closed below the $1.00 per share minimum required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the ‘Minimum Bid Price Requirement’). The Notice stated that the Company had 180 days, or until July 8, 2025, to demonstrate its compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. On July 9, 2025, the Company received approval from the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq for an additional 180-day grace period, or until January 5, 2026, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement (the ‘Approval’). To regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement and qualify for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, the minimum bid price per share of the Company’s common stock must be at least $1.00 for at least ten consecutive business days during the additional 180-day grace period. If the Company does not regain compliance during this additional grace period, its common stock would be subject to delisting by Nasdaq.

New Risk • Jul 16New minor risk - Share price stabilityThe company's share price has been volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 75% of American stocks, typically moving 11% a week. This is considered a minor risk. Share price volatility indicates the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. It also increases the risk of potential losses in the short term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Less than 1 year of cash runway based on free cash flow trend (-US$16m free cash flow). Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 46% per year for the foreseeable future. Minor Risks Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable next year (US$24m net loss next year). Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (11% average weekly change). Revenue is less than US$5m (US$1.9m revenue). Market cap is less than US$100m (US$16.5m market cap).

The Notice stated that the Company had 180 days, or until July 8, 2025, to demonstrate its compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. On July 9, 2025, the Company received approval from the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq for an additional 180-day grace period, or until January 5, 2026, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement (the ‘Approval’). To regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement and qualify for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, the minimum bid price per share of the Company’s common stock must be at least $1.00 for at least ten consecutive business days during the additional 180-day grace period. If the Company does not regain compliance during this additional grace period, its common stock would be subject to delisting by Nasdaq.

New Risk • May 21New major risk - Revenue and earnings growthEarnings are forecast to decline by an average of 44% per year for the foreseeable future. This is considered a major risk.

In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Less than 1 year of cash runway based on free cash flow trend (-US$19m free cash flow). Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 44% per year for the foreseeable future.

お知らせ • Jan 29DURECT Corporation Announces Publication of Larsucosterol Phase 2B Results in NEJM EvidenceDURECT Corporation announced the publication of a peer-reviewed article on the AHFIRM trial data in NEJM Evidence. The AHFIRM trial was a Phase 2b randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, international, multi-center study that evaluated the safety and efficacy of the Company's epigenetic modulator, larsucosterol, for the treatment of subjects with severe alcohol-associated hepatitis (AH). It enrolled 307 patients across three arms: placebo, which consisted of standard of care, with or without methylprednisolone capsules at the investigators' discretion, larsucosterol (30 mg) and larsucosterol (90 mg). A total of 62 centers enrolled patients including 46 US sites that enrolled 76% of patients. Topline results from AHFIRM were previously announced by DURECT. Key data highlights from the AHFIRM trial, include: Both the 30 mg and 90 mg larsucosterol doses demonstrated clinically meaningful trends in reducing 90-day mortality with mortality reductions of 41% (p=0.068) in the 30 mg arm and 35% (p=0.124) in the 90 mg arm compared with placebo. The reductions in mortality at 90 days were more pronounced in U.S. patients with reductions of 57% (p=0.014) in the 30 mg arm and 58% (p=0.008) in the 90 mg arm compared with placebo; computations for random sample analysis suggest that the U.S. results of larsucosterol treatment were unlikely to be an artifact of random chance. The numerical improvement in the primary endpoint of mortality or liver transplant at 90 days did not achieve statistical significance for either dose of larsucosterol. Variations in time from hospitalization to first dose highlighted the importance of timely treatment in patients with severe AH. Larsucosterol appeared safe and well tolerated in the AHFIRM trial and the number of treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs) and newly-occurring significant complications of liver disease in both larsucosterol groups were similar to those in placebo. AHFIRM was a Phase 2b randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, international, multi-center study conducted in subjects with severe alcohol-associated hepatitis (AH) to evaluate the saFety and effIcacy of laRsucosterol treatMent (AHFIRM). The study was comprised of three arms and enrolled 307 patients, with approximately 100 patients in each arm: (1) Placebo, which consisted of standard of care, with or without methylprednisolone capsules at the investigators' discretion; (2) larsucosterol (30 mg); and (3) larsucosterol (90 mg). Patients in the larsucosterol arms received the same supportive care without steroids. The primary outcome measure was the 90-day incidence of mortality or liver transplantation for patients treated with larsucosterol compared to those treated with placebo, and the key secondary endpoint was 90-day survival. The Company enrolled patients at clinical trial sites across the U.S., EU, U.K., and Australia. In November 2023, the Company announced topline data for the AHFIRM Trial. Reflecting the life-threatening nature of AH and the lack of therapeutic options, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted larsucosterol Fast Track Designation and Breakthrough Therapy Designation for the treatment of AH.

お知らせ • Nov 08DURECT Corporation Announces Topline Results from Phase 2b AHFIRM Trial of Larsucosterol in Alcohol-Associated Hepatitis with Promising Effect on MortalityDURECT Corporation announced topline results from its AHFIRM trial, a Phase 2b randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study evaluating the safety and efficacy of larsucosterol in 307 patients with severe alcohol-associated hepatitis (AH). Topline data from AHFIRM showed: Both the 30 mg and 90 mg larsucosterol doses demonstrated a compelling and clinically meaningful trend in reduction of mortality at 90 days, the key secondary endpoint, with mortality reductions of 41% (p=0.070) in the 30 mg arm and 35% (p=0.126) in the 90 mg arm compared with SOC. The numerical improvement in the primary endpoint of mortality or transplant at 90 days did not achieve statistical significance for either dose of larsucosterol. Both doses of larsucosterol showed a more pronounced reduction in mortality in patients enrolled in the U.S., representing 76% of patients enrolled in the trial. The reductions in mortality at 90 days were 57% (p=0.014) for the 30 mg arm and 58% (p=0.008) for the 90 mg arm compared with SOC. Larsucosterol was safe and well tolerated. There were fewer treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) in the larsucosterol arms compared with SOC. DURECT intends to have an End of Phase 2 (EOP2) meeting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to discuss the trial results and the Phase 3 registration trial design in the first quarter of 2024. DURECT also intends to present the results of AHFIRM at an upcoming medical meeting. Key AHFIRM trial results: Mortality or Liver Transplantation at 90 Days: The primary endpoint for the AHFIRM trial was the reduction in mortality or liver transplantation at 90 days. The endpoint was analyzed using a hierarchical assessment of patient outcomes to calculate a win probability for each of the 30 mg and 90 mg dose of larsucosterol compared with SOC. The results for the primary endpoint were not statistically significant for either the 30 mg or 90 mg doses compared with SOC, though a numerical improvement was observed. Mortality at 90 Days: Mortality at 90 Days was a key secondary endpoint for the AHFIRM trial. In this analysis, the 30 mg and 90 mg doses of larsucosterol showed numerical trends toward a clinically meaningful survival benefit with 90-day mortality reductions of 41% and 35%, respectively, when compared to SOC, although these results were not statistically significant.Mortality at 90 Days (U.S. patients): When further analyzed by geography, both the 30 mg and 90 mg doses showed an enhanced survival benefit at 90 days with reductions in 90-day mortality of 57% and 58%, respectively, in patients enrolled in the U.S., which represented 76% of the total patients enrolled. Safety and Tolerability: Both the 30 mg and 90 mg doses of larsucosterol were well tolerated. There were fewer TEAEs in the larsucosterol arms compared with SOC.
