Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
Description of Business and Financial Condition | 1. Description of Business and Financial Condition Sera Prognostics, Inc. (the “Company”) is a women’s health company utilizing its proprietary proteomics and bioinformatics platform, and significant data resources, to improve maternal and neonatal health by discovering, developing and commercializing blood-based biomarker tests and predictive analytic products and services. Our vision is to deliver pivotal and actionable information to pregnant women, their physicians, and health care payers to significantly enhance a mother's pregnancy journey, improve maternal and neonatal health, and reduce health care costs. We believe that our method of combining the disciplines of proteomics and bioinformatics with rigorous clinical testing, data, and economic analysis enables us to provide physicians and expectant mothers with personally insightful, clinically meaningful, and economically impactful information designed to improve the pregnancy experience and outcomes for mothers and babies. The Company was incorporated in the State of Delaware on January 17, 2008 and its operations are located in Salt Lake City, Utah, including a Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments, or CLIA, certified laboratory. Since its inception, the Company’s activities have consisted of performing research and development, conducting clinical studies for its pipeline products and services, acquiring product rights, raising capital, establishing facilities, and organizing commercial operations to market the PreTRM test. Liquidity and Capital Resources The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred net losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception and had an accumulated deficit of $279.8 million as of December 31, 2024. The Company’s management expects the Company to incur significant additional operating losses and negative cash flows for the foreseeable future, principally as a result of the Company’s activities relating to the PreTRM test and the Company’s other pipeline products and services, including clinical and preclinical trials and anticipated research and development activities as well as commercialization activities. There can be no assurance that the Company will eventually achieve significant revenues or profitability to sustain operations, or if achieved, can sustain either on a continuing basis. If the Company is unable to achieve significant revenues or raise additional funds, when needed, it may not be able to continue the development or commercialization of its products and services and could be required to delay, scale back, or abandon some or all of its operations. No assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in raising the required capital on reasonable terms and at the required times, or at all. In August 2024, the Company filed a universal shelf registration on Form S-3 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), which was declared effective on August 13, 2024 (the “2024 Form S-3”), pursuant to which the Company registered for sale up to $100.0 million of any combination of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share ("Class A common stock"), preferred stock, debt securities, warrants, rights and/or units from time to time and at prices and on terms that the Company may determine. In August 2024, the Company entered into a sales agreement with TD Securities (USA) LLC (“TD Cowen”) with respect to an at-the-market offering program under which the Company may offer and sell, from time to time at the Company’s sole discretion, shares of Class A common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $50.0 million (the “2024 Sales Agreement”). As of December 31, 2024, the Company has no t sold any shares of Class A common stock under the 2024 Sales Agreement. Any additional equity financing, if available to the Company, may not be available on favorable terms and may be dilutive to current stockholders, and any debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants and dilutive financing instruments. The Company’s future operations are highly dependent on a combination of factors, including (i) the commercialization and market acceptance of the PreTRM test and the successful development, commercial launch, marketing, and distribution of other pipeline products and services; (ii) the success of scientific and clinical studies and other research and development programs that support current and future products and services; (iii) the development of competitive products by other biotechnology and laboratory companies; (iv) the Company’s ability to manage growth of the organization; (v) the Company’s ability to protect its intellectual property, technology, and products; and, ultimately (vi) the timely and successful completion of any additional financing. The principal sources of the Company’s working capital to date have been the proceeds from the sale and issuance of convertible preferred stock and convertible notes, bank loans, and the sale and issuance of Class A common stock in an initial public offering (“IPO”), which was completed in July 2021. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had aggregate cash, cash equivalents, and available-for-sale securities of approximately $68.2 million. See Note 3—Cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities. The Company evaluated that its existing financial resources are sufficient to continue operating activities at least 12 months from the issuance date of these financial statements.
