Organization | 1. Organization Alaunos Therapeutics, Inc., which is referred to herein as “Alaunos,” or the “Company,” is a clinical-stage oncology-focused cell therapy company developing adoptive TCR therapies, designed to treat multiple solid tumor types in large cancer patient populations with unmet clinical needs. On January 25, 2022, the Company changed its corporate name from ZIOPHARM Oncology, Inc. to Alaunos Therapeutics, Inc. The Company is leveraging its proprietary, non-viral Sleeping Beauty gene transfer platform and its novel cancer mutation hotspot TCR library to design and manufacture personalized cell therapies that target neoantigens arising from common tumor-related mutations in key oncogenic genes, including KRAS, TP53 and EGFR. The Company’s operations to date have consisted primarily of conducting research and development and raising capital to fund those efforts. In May 2021, the Company announced that it will be winding down its existing Controlled IL-12 clinical program for the treatment of recurrent glioblastoma multiforme. The Company continues to seek a partner for this program. The Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation authorizes it to issue 420,000,000 shares of common stock. As of December 31, 2022, there were 240,410,761 shares of common stock outstanding and an additional 33,330,964 shares of common stock reserved for issuance pursuant to outstanding stock options and warrants. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company follows the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, Topic 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern, in order to determine whether there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the date its financial statements are issued. This evaluation initially does not take into consideration the potential mitigating effect of management's plans that have not been fully implemented as of the date the financial statements are issued. When substantial doubt exists, management evaluates whether the mitigating effect of its plans sufficiently alleviates the substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The mitigating effect of management's plans, however, is only considered if both (i) it is probable that the plans will be effectively implemented within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued and (ii) it is probable that the plans, when implemented, will mitigate the relevant conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. The Company has operated at a loss since its inception in 2003 and has no recurring revenue from operations. The Company anticipates that losses will continue for the foreseeable future. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had approximately $53.0 million of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash. The restricted cash of $13.9 million at December 31, 2022 is related to the Company's debt agreement (refer to Note 4, Debt). The Company’s accumulated deficit at December 31, 2022 was approximately $880.6 million. Given its current development plans and cash management efforts, the Company anticipates cash resources will be sufficient to fund operations into the fourth quarter of 2023. The Company’s ability to continue operations after its current cash resources are exhausted depends on future events, including its ability to obtain additional financing or to achieve profitable operations, as to which no assurances can be given, nor are within the Company's control. If adequate additional funds are not available when required, or if the Company is unsuccessful in entering into partnership agreements for further development of its product candidates, management may need to curtail its development efforts and planned operations to conserve cash until sufficient additional capital is raised. There can be no assurances that such a plan would be successful. Based on the current cash forecast and the Company's dependence on its ability to obtain additional financing to fund its operations after the current resources are exhausted, about which there can be no certainty, management has determined that the Company's present capital resources will not be sufficient to fund its planned operations for at least one year from the issuance date of the financial statements, and substantial doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern exists. This forecast of cash resources is forward-looking information that involves risks and uncertainties, and the actual amount of expenses could vary materially and adversely as a result of a number of factors.
