LA JOLLA, Calif., Nov. 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- CalciMedica Inc. ("CalciMedica" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: CALC), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing novel calcium release-activated calcium (CRAC) channel inhibition therapies for acute and chronic inflammatory and immunologic illnesses, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025 and provided clinical and corporate updates.
"Enrollment continues in our Phase 2 KOURAGE trial evaluating Auxora in patients with AKI with respiratory failure, and we look forward to sharing data in the first half of 2026. As we approach this milestone, we are encouraged by AKI animal model data recently shared at ASN and results in PAH animal models published in JCI Insight, both of which provide further mechanistic rationale for CRAC channel inhibition as a promising approach for treating AKI," said Rachel Leheny, Ph.D., CEO of CalciMedica. "Additionally, discussions with the FDA have been positive regarding our program in AP. We expect our recently announced collaboration with Telperian and its AI-driven analytics platform will enable us to leverage insights from completed Auxora trials to optimize the design of our pivotal trial in AP, which we expect to finalize in the first half of 2026."

Financial Results for the Third Quarter Ended September 30, 2025:
Cash Position: Cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments were $14.1 million as of September 30, 2025. The Company expects its cash position to be sufficient to fund its current operating plan into the second half of 2026.
R&D Expenses: Research and development expenses were $3.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $3.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The increase of $0.3 million was primarily due to an increase in clinical trial and preclinical activities offset by a decrease in consultants and other costs.
G&A Expenses: General and administrative expenses were $1.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $2.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease of $0.4 million was primarily due to a decrease in professional services and consultants and other costs.
Other Income (Expense): Other expenses were $2.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to other income of $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The increase of $2.3 million in expenses was primarily due to a non-cash increase in fair value adjustments to the Company's financial instruments.
Net Loss: Net loss was $7.8 million, or $0.52 per basic and diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $5.6 million, or $0.50 per basic and diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2024.
About CalciMedica
CalciMedica is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing novel CRAC channel inhibition therapies for inflammatory and immunologic diseases.

CalciMedica has announced data for a Phase 2b trial (called CARPO – NCT04681066) in patients with acute pancreatitis (AP) and accompanying systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and for a Phase 2 trial (called CARDEA – NCT04345614) in patients with COVID pneumonia.
