RESEARCH, CONSULTING AGREEMENTS AND COMMITMENTS |
RESEARCH, CONSULTING AGREEMENTS AND COMMITMENTS | NOTE 12 – RESEARCH, CONSULTING AGREEMENTS AND COMMITMENTS Research agreements In November 2020, Quoin Inc. entered into a Master Service Agreement with Therapeutics Inc. for the management of the preclinical and clinical development of QRX003 for Netherton Syndrome. The initial term of the agreement was three years with automatic one year extensions, and the agreement required the execution of individual work orders. Quoin Inc. may terminate any work order for any reason with 90 days written notice subject to costs incurred through termination and a defined termination fee, unless there is a material breach by Therapeutics Inc. A work order was entered into in June 2022 for the first QRX003 clinical study at an expected estimated cost of approximately $4.4 million. An additional work order was entered into in December 2022 for a second QRX003 clinical study at an expected estimated cost of approximately $830,000. An amended and restated change order for the two studies was entered into in December 2024 at an estimated total remaining cost from August 2024 of approximately $3.6 million for the two studies combined. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company incurred a research and development expense under these agreements of approximately $348,000 and $759,000 and $162,000 and $650,000 respectively. In November 2021, the Company entered into a research agreement with Queensland University of Technology (QUT) for a pre-clinical research program for the development of a product to treat Netherton Syndrome of approximately $250,000. In May 2022, the Company entered into a second research agreement with QUT for the development of a product to treat Scleroderma of approximately $610,000. Each agreement remains in place until the completion of the research program, which in each case was initially anticipated to be 18 months from execution. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not incur any costs related to these agreements. In July 2025 the Company announced that, in light of the expected near - term completion of the QRX003 clinical program for Netherton Syndrome, the Company has discontinued Netherton Syndrome research program with QUT. The Company is planning to schedule a meeting with QUT to discuss the future direction of the Scleroderma research program. In June 2024, the Company signed a research agreement with The School of Pharmacy at University College Cork, Ireland (UCC). The scope of the agreement encompasses the development of novel topical formulations of rapamycin (sirolimus) as potential treatments for a number of rare and orphan diseases for which there are currently no approved therapies or cures. Under the terms of the agreement, based on the achievement of certain milestones, the Company will fund up to approximately €567,000 ($668,000) plus VAT over an anticipated 2-1/2 year period to support the UCC research program to investigate the development of a number of topical rapamycin formulations for future development as potential treatments for several rare and orphan diseases. Following completion of the research program, the Company will have the option to advance the clinical development of rapamycin formulations developed by UCC. Work on this research project commenced in December 2024. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company incurred a research and development expense under these agreements of approximately $60,000 and $120,000 respectively.
