Los Angeles, CA — November 13, 2025 — TurnTherapeutics Inc. (Nasdaq: TTRX), a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing dermatologic, advanced wound, and infectious disease therapies, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025, and provided corporate updates.
“Our first weeks as a public company have been extremely productive, and our continued execution brings us closer to achieving our immediate strategic goal of developing a portfolio of potential best-in-class products in eczema and onychomycosis,” said Bradley Burnam, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Turn Therapeutics. “We look forward to seeing data from our lead program in moderate to severe eczema in early 2026, which will inform our development pathway. At the same time, we continue to develop global relationships to leverage our PermaFusion® platform technology and have entered into an exciting license, supply, and distribution agreement with Medline, the largest provider of medical-surgical products and supply chain solutions serving all points of care. Partnerships like this will generate revenues for us without significant capital investment. This revenue will allow us to offset some of the costs, given our modest burn rate, as we focus our internal efforts on high-value drug development programs.”
Mr. Burnam continued, “We have also been steadily strengthening our Board and executive team and have added two new Board members and a capital markets veteran as Vice President of Corporate Communications recently. We will continue to add to our team ensuring we are positioned to capitalize on our near and long-term opportunities.”
