Dogwood Therapeutics Inc (NASDAQ: DWTX) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company that develops drug candidates through FDA-regulated clinical trial programs. The company generates no product revenue and funds operations through equity issuances, including proceeds from an at-the-money equity distribution agreement executed November 28, 2025, and from preferred stock conversions. In September 2025, Dogwood entered an exclusive license agreement with Serpin Pharma, Inc., acquiring rights to additional drug candidates in exchange for equity consideration under an Equity Issuance and Registration Rights Agreement with Serpin Pharma and Rejuvenation Labs. The company traces its history through predecessor entities including Virios Therapeutics and Innovative Med Concepts, which held a know-how license from the University of Alabama dating to June 1, 2012. As of the 10-K filed March 18, 2026, Dogwood carries accumulated net losses and relies on capital markets for liquidity, with research and development expenses and general and administrative costs representing its primary cash outlays.
