(the Company) received a letter (the Bid Price Deficiency Notice) from the listing qualifications department staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market (Nasdaq) indicating that the Company isnot in compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement set in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market (the Bid Price Requirement). The Bid Price Deficiency Notice has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company's common stock, and the Company's common stock continues to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol ACER. In accordance with Nasdaq listing rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has 180 calendar days from the date of the Bid Price Deficiency Notice, or until December 4, 2023, to regain compliance with respect to the Bid Price Requirement. The Bid Price Deficiency Notice states that to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement, the closing bid price of the Company's common stock must meet or exceed $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days during the compliance period ending December 4, 2023. If the Company fails to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement by December 4, 2023, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180-day compliance period to demonstrate compliance with the Bid Price Requirement. To qualify, the Company will be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the Bid Price Requirement, and will need to provide written notice to Nasdaq of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. If the Company does not qualify for the second compliance period or fails to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement during the second 180-day period, Nasdaq will notify the Company of its determination to delist the common stock, at which point the Company would have an opportunity to appeal the delisting determination to a Hearings Panel. The Company intends to actively monitor the closing bid price of the Company's common stock between now and December 4, 2023 and may, if appropriate, evaluate available options to resolve the deficiency and regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement. While the Company is exercising diligent efforts to maintain the listing of its common stock on Nasdaq, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain or maintain compliance with Nasdaq listing standards.공시 • May 05Acer Therapeutics Inc.

Topline results from this trial are expected in mid-March 2023. The Phase 2a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-ranging trial of ACER-801 is designed to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK) and efficacy of ACER-801 in 48 postmenopausal women aged 40-65 who experience moderate to severe hot flashes. Subjects were randomized 1:1:1:1 and receive twice daily doses of either 50mg, 100mg, 200mg of ACER- 801 or placebo over a 14-day treatment period, followed by a 14-day safety follow-up assessment. Results from this trial could provide proof of concept data in postmenopausal women and could inform ACER-801 dosing and a development path forward in patients with induced Vasomotor Symptoms (iVMS). About VMS, iVMS and ACER-801 VMS are caused by a disruption in sex hormone signaling in the brain, resulting in menopausal-like symptoms (hot flashes, night sweats, etc.) and most often occur in women during menopausal transition or in menopause (MR-VMS). VMS leads to significant impact on patient quality of life, including sleep deprivation, lack of focus, and anxiety/depression. VMS can also be induced (iVMS) by anti-androgen and anti-estrogen cancer therapies and surgical procedures altering sex hormone production.(1) (,) (2) VMS are caused by low estrogen levels leading to increased stimulatory signaling of NKB on the Kisspeptin/Neurokinin B/Dynorphin (KNDy) neurons in the hypothalamus. A non-hormonal treatment to manage VMS is needed, especially in patients where estrogen is contraindicated or not well tolerated. iVMS are well documented with the use of cancer therapies and certain surgical procedures. Symptoms such as hot flashes can appear immediately and be severe. Cancer therapy side effects can lead to treatment non-adherence which increases the mortality risk and/or shortens the time to recurrence. Acer also believes a treatment for iVMS is needed to help certain cancer patients to be more likely to start and stay on critical cancer therapies. ACER-801 (osanetant) is a novel, non-hormonal, NK3R antagonist that could offer a potential treatment option with meaningful improvement of VMS for patients with iVMS by blocking the stimulatory signaling of NKB on the KNDy neurons. Direct human safety evidence is available from 23 completed Phase 1 and 2 studies in which approximately 400 healthy subjects and 820 patients were treated with osanetant for schizophrenia, depression and other indications. Data from these studies indicated no major safety concerns after single-dose and repeat-dose administration.(3) ACER-801 is orally bioavailable(4) and readily crosses the blood-brain barrier.(5) Acer believes that several disorders involving the hypothalamus-pituitary-gonadal axis could be investigated for potential benefit from treatment with an NK3R antagonist. ACER-801 is an investigational product candidate which has not been approved by FDA or any other regulatory authority. There is no guarantee that this product candidate will receive regulatory authority approval in any territory or become commercially available for any indications.공시 • Jan 06Acer Therapeutics Inc. Announces Initiation of Two Investigator-Sponsored Trials of ACER-801 (Osanetant) in Men with Adenocarcinoma of the ProstateAcer Therapeutics Inc. announced the initiation of two Phase 2, single-arm investigator-sponsored trials evaluating ACER-801 (osanetant) in men with adenocarcinoma of the prostate. The POSH-MAP (Pilot of Osanetant for Severity of Hot Flashes in Men with Adenocarcinoma of the Prostate) and PORT-MAP (Pilot of Osanetant to Reduce Testosterone in Men with Adenocarcinoma of the Prostate) trials are being sponsored and conducted by The University of Kansas Cancer Center in partnership with Acer. POSH-MAP Trial: The POSH-MAP trial will evaluate the ability of ACER-801 to reduce hot flash frequency and severity and improve quality of life measures in men with prostate cancer following 28 days of therapy. Approximately 10 participants will receive 200mg of osanetant twice daily. Following the completion of treatment on day 28 participants will re-test hormone levels and report final patient outcome measures. PORT-MAP Trial: The second trial, PORT-MAP, will evaluate the ability of ACER-801 to suppress testosterone production in men with prostate cancer within 28 days prior to a planned prostatectomy. Approximately 10 participants will receive 200mg of osanetant twice daily for 28 days, followed by a one week wash out period. Following the one week wash out period, patients will undergo a prostatectomy between days 35-39. The overall effect of osanetant on testosterone levels and the proportion of men achieving castrate levels of testosterone (<50ng/ml) will be assessed, with hormone level assessment occurring on days 2, 3, 14, 28 and day 77. Rationale for ACER-801 (osanetant) NK3R Antagonist Evaluation in Prostate Cancer: Prostate cancer is a hormonally driven cancer, and the management of this disease for many men is through suppression of testosterone production – called androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). Currently, most men on ADT are treated with medications that suppress hormone production which can cause dysfunctional thermoregulation and development of vasomotor symptoms (VMS), also known as hot flashes. Up to 75% of men on ADT experience VMS, resulting in high rates of distress and ADT treatment noncompliance, with approximately 20% of men with high-risk prostate cancer prematurely discontinuing ADT.3 Early pharmacokinetic studies in men and women with various NK3R antagonists have shown an inhibitory effect on the levels of luteinizing hormone and testosterone. However, the degree of effect relative to a therapeutic goal of castrate levels of testosterone (= 50ng/mL) remains unexplored.1,2 A non-hormonal treatment to lower testosterone levels and manage induced VMS is needed as estrogen is contraindicated for the management of VMS in patients with hormone-positive tumors, including breast and prostate tumors. ACER-801 is an investigational product candidate which has not been approved by FDA or any other regulatory authority. There is no guarantee that this product candidate will receive regulatory authority approval in any territory or become commercially available for any indications.Reported Earnings • Nov 17Third quarter 2022 earnings released: US$0.31 loss per share (vs US$0.23 loss in 3Q 2021)Third quarter 2022 results: US$0.31 loss per share (further deteriorated from US$0.23 loss in 3Q 2021).

(ACER) is trading 3.5% higher premarket. In a study conducted in thousands of genes that were activated in the brains of mice following fear conditioning events showed the drug was able to block fear memory consolidation shortly after exposure to a trauma. ACER-801 is a non-hormonal drug designed as a selective non-peptide neurokinin 3 receptor (NK3R) antagonist. "While the role of the NK3R pathway in the hypothalamus to manage thermoregulation is well-established in clinical trials, this opportunity explores an entirely different mechanism of action for the drug. We look forward to presenting our clinical development plan for ACER-801 for the reduction of frequency and severity of PTSD in the near future," the company said. Acute stress disorder refers to the body’s immediate response to trauma, whereas PTSD is defined as the long-term effects of trauma. The company is also developing the drug for induced Vasomotor Symptoms, which is hot flashes, flushing, and night sweats — that tend to occur in or around menopause.Reported Earnings • Aug 17First half 2022 earnings released: US$0.80 loss per share (vs US$0.54 loss in 1H 2021)First half 2022 results: US$0.80 loss per share (down from US$0.54 loss in 1H 2021).

공시 • Jun 09Acer Therapeutics Receives a Letter from Nasdaq Indicating the Company Is Not in Compliance with the $1.00 Minimum Bid Price Requirement Set in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) for Continued Listing on the Nasdaq Capital MarketOn June 5, 2023, Acer Therapeutics Inc. (the Company) received a letter (the Bid Price Deficiency Notice) from the listing qualifications department staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market (Nasdaq) indicating that the Company isnot in compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement set in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market (the Bid Price Requirement). The Bid Price Deficiency Notice has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company's common stock, and the Company's common stock continues to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol ACER. In accordance with Nasdaq listing rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has 180 calendar days from the date of the Bid Price Deficiency Notice, or until December 4, 2023, to regain compliance with respect to the Bid Price Requirement. The Bid Price Deficiency Notice states that to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement, the closing bid price of the Company's common stock must meet or exceed $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days during the compliance period ending December 4, 2023. If the Company fails to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement by December 4, 2023, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180-day compliance period to demonstrate compliance with the Bid Price Requirement. To qualify, the Company will be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the Bid Price Requirement, and will need to provide written notice to Nasdaq of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. If the Company does not qualify for the second compliance period or fails to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement during the second 180-day period, Nasdaq will notify the Company of its determination to delist the common stock, at which point the Company would have an opportunity to appeal the delisting determination to a Hearings Panel. The Company intends to actively monitor the closing bid price of the Company's common stock between now and December 4, 2023 and may, if appropriate, evaluate available options to resolve the deficiency and regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement. While the Company is exercising diligent efforts to maintain the listing of its common stock on Nasdaq, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain or maintain compliance with Nasdaq listing standards.

공시 • Feb 15Acer Therapeutics Announces Full Enrollment of Phase 2A Trial of Acer-801 (Osanetant) for Treatment of Moderate to Severe Vasomotor Symptoms Associated with MenopauseAcer Therapeutics Inc. announced full enrollment of its Phase 2a proof of concept trial of ACER-801 (osanetant), a novel, non-hormonal, neurokinin 3 receptor (NK3R) antagonist, being investigated as a potential treatment option for moderate to severe Vasomotor Symptoms (VMS) associated with menopause. Topline results from this trial are expected in mid-March 2023. The Phase 2a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-ranging trial of ACER-801 is designed to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK) and efficacy of ACER-801 in 48 postmenopausal women aged 40-65 who experience moderate to severe hot flashes. Subjects were randomized 1:1:1:1 and receive twice daily doses of either 50mg, 100mg, 200mg of ACER- 801 or placebo over a 14-day treatment period, followed by a 14-day safety follow-up assessment. Results from this trial could provide proof of concept data in postmenopausal women and could inform ACER-801 dosing and a development path forward in patients with induced Vasomotor Symptoms (iVMS). About VMS, iVMS and ACER-801 VMS are caused by a disruption in sex hormone signaling in the brain, resulting in menopausal-like symptoms (hot flashes, night sweats, etc.) and most often occur in women during menopausal transition or in menopause (MR-VMS). VMS leads to significant impact on patient quality of life, including sleep deprivation, lack of focus, and anxiety/depression. VMS can also be induced (iVMS) by anti-androgen and anti-estrogen cancer therapies and surgical procedures altering sex hormone production.(1) (,) (2) VMS are caused by low estrogen levels leading to increased stimulatory signaling of NKB on the Kisspeptin/Neurokinin B/Dynorphin (KNDy) neurons in the hypothalamus. A non-hormonal treatment to manage VMS is needed, especially in patients where estrogen is contraindicated or not well tolerated. iVMS are well documented with the use of cancer therapies and certain surgical procedures. Symptoms such as hot flashes can appear immediately and be severe. Cancer therapy side effects can lead to treatment non-adherence which increases the mortality risk and/or shortens the time to recurrence. Acer also believes a treatment for iVMS is needed to help certain cancer patients to be more likely to start and stay on critical cancer therapies. ACER-801 (osanetant) is a novel, non-hormonal, NK3R antagonist that could offer a potential treatment option with meaningful improvement of VMS for patients with iVMS by blocking the stimulatory signaling of NKB on the KNDy neurons. Direct human safety evidence is available from 23 completed Phase 1 and 2 studies in which approximately 400 healthy subjects and 820 patients were treated with osanetant for schizophrenia, depression and other indications. Data from these studies indicated no major safety concerns after single-dose and repeat-dose administration.(3) ACER-801 is orally bioavailable(4) and readily crosses the blood-brain barrier.(5) Acer believes that several disorders involving the hypothalamus-pituitary-gonadal axis could be investigated for potential benefit from treatment with an NK3R antagonist. ACER-801 is an investigational product candidate which has not been approved by FDA or any other regulatory authority. There is no guarantee that this product candidate will receive regulatory authority approval in any territory or become commercially available for any indications.
공시 • Jan 06Acer Therapeutics Inc. Announces Initiation of Two Investigator-Sponsored Trials of ACER-801 (Osanetant) in Men with Adenocarcinoma of the ProstateAcer Therapeutics Inc. announced the initiation of two Phase 2, single-arm investigator-sponsored trials evaluating ACER-801 (osanetant) in men with adenocarcinoma of the prostate. The POSH-MAP (Pilot of Osanetant for Severity of Hot Flashes in Men with Adenocarcinoma of the Prostate) and PORT-MAP (Pilot of Osanetant to Reduce Testosterone in Men with Adenocarcinoma of the Prostate) trials are being sponsored and conducted by The University of Kansas Cancer Center in partnership with Acer. POSH-MAP Trial: The POSH-MAP trial will evaluate the ability of ACER-801 to reduce hot flash frequency and severity and improve quality of life measures in men with prostate cancer following 28 days of therapy. Approximately 10 participants will receive 200mg of osanetant twice daily. Following the completion of treatment on day 28 participants will re-test hormone levels and report final patient outcome measures. PORT-MAP Trial: The second trial, PORT-MAP, will evaluate the ability of ACER-801 to suppress testosterone production in men with prostate cancer within 28 days prior to a planned prostatectomy. Approximately 10 participants will receive 200mg of osanetant twice daily for 28 days, followed by a one week wash out period. Following the one week wash out period, patients will undergo a prostatectomy between days 35-39. The overall effect of osanetant on testosterone levels and the proportion of men achieving castrate levels of testosterone (<50ng/ml) will be assessed, with hormone level assessment occurring on days 2, 3, 14, 28 and day 77. Rationale for ACER-801 (osanetant) NK3R Antagonist Evaluation in Prostate Cancer: Prostate cancer is a hormonally driven cancer, and the management of this disease for many men is through suppression of testosterone production – called androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). Currently, most men on ADT are treated with medications that suppress hormone production which can cause dysfunctional thermoregulation and development of vasomotor symptoms (VMS), also known as hot flashes. Up to 75% of men on ADT experience VMS, resulting in high rates of distress and ADT treatment noncompliance, with approximately 20% of men with high-risk prostate cancer prematurely discontinuing ADT.3 Early pharmacokinetic studies in men and women with various NK3R antagonists have shown an inhibitory effect on the levels of luteinizing hormone and testosterone. However, the degree of effect relative to a therapeutic goal of castrate levels of testosterone (= 50ng/mL) remains unexplored.1,2 A non-hormonal treatment to lower testosterone levels and manage induced VMS is needed as estrogen is contraindicated for the management of VMS in patients with hormone-positive tumors, including breast and prostate tumors. ACER-801 is an investigational product candidate which has not been approved by FDA or any other regulatory authority. There is no guarantee that this product candidate will receive regulatory authority approval in any territory or become commercially available for any indications.

Seeking Alpha • Oct 05Acer Therapeutics to develop ACER-801 for post-traumatic stress disorder treatmentAcer Therapeutics (NASDAQ:ACER) said on Wednesday it was expanding ACER-801 into a new indication, to reduce the frequency and severity of acute stress disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder. (ACER) is trading 3.5% higher premarket. In a study conducted in thousands of genes that were activated in the brains of mice following fear conditioning events showed the drug was able to block fear memory consolidation shortly after exposure to a trauma. ACER-801 is a non-hormonal drug designed as a selective non-peptide neurokinin 3 receptor (NK3R) antagonist. "While the role of the NK3R pathway in the hypothalamus to manage thermoregulation is well-established in clinical trials, this opportunity explores an entirely different mechanism of action for the drug. We look forward to presenting our clinical development plan for ACER-801 for the reduction of frequency and severity of PTSD in the near future," the company said. Acute stress disorder refers to the body’s immediate response to trauma, whereas PTSD is defined as the long-term effects of trauma. The company is also developing the drug for induced Vasomotor Symptoms, which is hot flashes, flushing, and night sweats — that tend to occur in or around menopause.

Seeking Alpha • Aug 31Acer Therapeutics: Deriving Value By Developing Therapies For Rare DiseasesAcer Therapeutics is a pharmaceutical company that acquires, develops and seeks to commercialize therapies for serious, rare, and life-threatening diseases. Acer submitted an NDA for its lead drug candidate ACER-001 for treatment of UCDs in early August. Acer expects notification regarding potential acceptance for filing from the FDA approximately 60 days after NDA submission and subsequent substantive review. If approved, Acer could launch ACER-001 in mid-2022. Other than UCDs, Acer is developing therapies for MSUD, iVMS, vEDS, and infectious diseases. All these diseases have a market that is niche and untapped, characterized by low competition. Assuming a base case revenue of $40 million in 2022 and a P/S ratio of 5.0x, the company’s intrinsic value would be ~$122 million or $8.70 per share, indicating an upside close to 3.5x.
