We are a commercial-stage immunotherapy and targeted oncology company focused on the acquisition, development and commercialization of novel treatments for patients with solid tumor cancers. On December 13, 2024, we announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) granted approval of cosibelimab-ipdl, now referred to as UNLOXCYT™, for the treatment of adults with metastatic cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (“CSCC”) or locally advanced CSCC who are not candidates for curative surgery or curative radiation. The approval was granted for this indication based upon data from an ongoing multi-regional, open-label, multicohort Phase 1 clinical trial in checkpoint therapy-naïve patients with selected recurrent or metastatic cancers, including ongoing cohorts in locally advanced and metastatic CSCC.5 From its latest annual report

Risk factors and legal proceedings
The risks Checkpoint Therapeutics, Inc. names in Item 1A of its 10-K filed Mar 28, 2025: 62 risks under these headings, as written.5
- Risks Related in Drug Development, and the Commercialization of our FDA Approved Drug UNLOXCYT (cosibelimab-ipdl)
- Because results of preclinical studies and early clinical trials are not necessarily predictive of future results, any product candidate we advance may not have favorable results in later clinical trials or receive regulatory approval. Moreover, interim, “top-line,” and preliminary data from our clinical trials that we announce or publish may change, or the perceived product profile may be negatively impacted, as more patient data or additional endpoints (including efficacy and safety) are analyzed.
- Delays in clinical testing could result in increased costs to us and delay our ability to generate revenue.
- Difficulties in the enrollment of patients in clinical trials may prevent or delay receipt of necessary regulatory approvals.
- We may not receive regulatory approval for our product candidates, or their approval may be delayed, which would have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.
- If serious adverse or unacceptable side effects are identified during the development of one or more of our product candidates or any future product candidate, we may need to abandon or limit our development of some of our product candidates.
- Public concern regarding the safety of drug products could delay or limit our ability to obtain regulatory approval, result in the inclusion of unfavorable information in our labeling, or require us to undertake other activities that may entail additional costs.
- Even if one or more of our product candidates receives regulatory approval, such as UNLOXCYT, it and any other products we may market will remain subject to substantial regulatory scrutiny. If we are unable to maintain current approvals of UNLOXCYT, our business will be materially harmed.
- Approval of UNLOXCYT or any of our product candidates in the United States does not assure approval of UNLOXCYT in foreign jurisdictions.
- Regulatory approval by the FDA, or any similar regulatory authorities outside the United States, is limited to those specific indications and conditions for which clinical safety and efficacy have been demonstrated.
- We will need to obtain FDA approval of any proposed product brand names, and any failure or delay associated with such approval may adversely impact our business.
- If our competitors develop treatments for any of our product candidates’ target indications and those competitor products are approved more quickly, marketed more successfully or demonstrated to be more effective, the commercial opportunity for UNLOXCYT, our product candidates, will be reduced or eliminated.
The other 50 risks
- If UNLOXCYT, which received FDA approval in December 2024, or any of our product candidates are successfully developed but do not achieve broad market acceptance among physicians, patients, healthcare payors and the medical community, the revenues that UNLOXCYT or any such product candidates generate from sales will be limited.
- Reimbursement may be limited or unavailable in certain market segments for UNLOXCYT and product candidates, which could make it difficult for us to sell UNLOXCYT and our products profitably.
- If we are unable to establish sales, marketing, and distribution capabilities or to enter into agreements with third parties to market and sell UNLOXCYT and product candidates, we may be unsuccessful in commercializing UNLOXCYT and product candidates, if they are approved.
- We face potential product liability exposure, and if successful claims are brought against us, we may incur substantial liability for UNLOXCYT or one or more of our product candidates or a future product candidate we may license or acquire and may have to limit their commercialization.
- Risks Related to Our Finances and Capital Requirements
- We have incurred significant losses since our inception and anticipate that we will incur continued losses for the foreseeable future. We may never achieve or maintain profitability.
- We will require substantial additional funding which may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. If we fail to raise the necessary additional capital, we may be unable to complete the development and commercialization of our product candidates and UNLOXCYT, or continue our development programs.
- There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, which may hinder our ability to obtain future financing.
- Raising additional capital may cause dilution to our existing stockholders, restrict our operations or require us to relinquish proprietary rights.
- We are a “smaller reporting company,” which means that the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to smaller reporting companies may make our common stock less attractive to investors.
- We may expend our limited resources to pursue certain product candidates or indications and fail to capitalize on UNLOXCYT, product candidates or indications that may be more profitable or for which there is a greater likelihood of success.
- Weakness in the U.S. economy, including within our geographic footprint, has adversely affected us in the past and may adversely affect us in the future.
- Risks Related to the Merger, our Business Strategy, Structure, and Organization
- There is no assurance that the proposed Merger among us, Sun Pharma and Merger Sub will be completed in a timely manner or at all. Failure to complete the Merger may result in us paying a termination fee to Sun Pharma and could harm our common stock price and future business and operations.
- If the conditions to the closing of the Merger are not met, the Merger may not occur.
- The pendency of the Merger could have an adverse effect on the trading price of our common stock and our business, financial condition, and prospects.
- While the Merger Agreement is in effect, we are subject to restrictions on our business activities.
- We have incurred, and will continue to incur, direct and indirect costs as a result of the pending merger with Sun Pharma.
- Litigation relating to the Merger could require us to incur significant costs and suffer management distraction, and could delay or enjoin the Merger.
- The Merger Agreement contains provisions that could discourage a potential competing acquirer.
- We currently have no drug products for sale on the market and are dependent on the future success of UNLOXCYT and our product candidates. We can give no assurances that any of our product candidates will receive regulatory approval or that UNLOXCYT will be successfully commercialized, marketed or sold.
- Our future growth depends on our ability to identify and acquire or in-license products and successfully integrating such acquired or in-licensed products into our existing operations.
- Risks Related to Reliance on Third Parties
- We have contracted with third parties for the manufacture of UNLOXCYT and our product candidates. If such contract manufacturer fails to timely produce sufficient product volume, to pass regulatory inspections, or to comply with applicable regulations, the commercialization of UNLOXCYT and our product candidates may be delayed, we may be unable to meet market demand, and we may lose potential revenues.
- We rely, and expect to continue to rely, on third parties to conduct our preclinical studies and clinical trials. Those third parties may perform unsatisfactorily, fail to meet deadlines for trial completion, or to comply with applicable regulatory requirements.
- We rely, and expect to continue to rely, on third parties for the manufacture of our product candidates for preclinical and clinical testing and for the commercialization of UNLOXCYT or our other approved products, if any. Reliance on third parties increases the risk that we will not have sufficient quantities of UNLOXCYT or our products or such quantities at an acceptable cost, which could delay, prevent or impair our development or commercialization efforts.
- We rely on clinical data and results obtained by third parties that could ultimately prove to be inaccurate or unreliable.
- Risks Related to Legislation and Regulation Affecting the Biopharmaceutical and Other Industries
- We cannot predict the likelihood, nature or extent of government regulation that may arise from future legislation or administrative or executive action, either in the United States or abroad.
- We are subject to new legislation, regulatory proposals and managed care initiatives that may increase our costs of compliance and adversely affect our ability to market our products, obtain collaborators and raise capital.
- Our current and future relationships with customers and third-party payors in the United States and elsewhere may be subject, directly or indirectly, to applicable anti-kickback, fraud and abuse, false claims, transparency, health information privacy and security and other healthcare laws and regulations, which could expose us to criminal sanctions, civil penalties, contractual damages, reputational harm, administrative burdens and diminished profits and future earnings.
- Risks Related to Intellectual Property and Potential Disputes with Licensors Thereof
- If we are unable to obtain and maintain sufficient patent protection for UNLOXCYT, our technology and products, our competitors could develop and commercialize technology and products similar or identical to ours, and our ability to successfully commercialize, market and sell UNLOXCYT, our technology and products may be impaired.
- We may need to license certain intellectual property from third parties, and such licenses may not be available or may not be available on commercially reasonable terms.
- We depend on our licensors to maintain and enforce the intellectual property covering certain of our product and product candidates. We have limited, if any, control over the resources that our licensors can or will devote to securing, maintaining, and enforcing patents protecting our product and product candidates.
- Protecting our proprietary rights is difficult and costly, and we may be unable to ensure their protection.
- We may become involved in lawsuits to protect or enforce our patents or other intellectual property, which could be expensive, time consuming and unsuccessful, and an unfavorable outcome in any litigation would harm our business.
- If we fail to comply with our obligations under our intellectual property licenses and third-party funding arrangements, we could lose rights that are important to our business.
- We may be subject to claims that our employees have wrongfully used or disclosed alleged trade secrets of their former employers.
- If we are unable to protect the confidentiality of our trade secrets, our business and competitive position would be harmed.
- Risks Related to Our Platform and Data
- Our business and operations would suffer in the event of computer system failures, cyber-attacks, or deficiencies in our or third parties’ cybersecurity.
- Risks Related to Our Control by Fortress Biotech Inc.
- Fortress controls a voting majority of our common stock.
- Fortress has the right to receive a significant grant of shares of our common stock annually which will result in the dilution of your holdings of common stock upon each grant, which could reduce their value.
- We might have received better terms from unaffiliated third parties than the terms we receive in our agreements with Fortress.
- Risks Related to Conflicts of Interest
- The Chairman of our Board of Directors is also the Executive Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of TGTX, with whom we previously had a collaboration agreement and a sublicense agreement. As a result, during the terms of these agreements, certain conflicts of interest could have arisen which would have required the attention of our officers and independent directors who are unaffiliated with TGTX.
- The dual roles of our directors who also serve in similar roles with Fortress could create a conflict of interest and will require careful monitoring by our independent directors.
- General Risks
- Major public health issues and global health crises could have an adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations and other aspects of our business.
- We may not be able to manage our business effectively if we are unable to attract and retain key personnel.
- Our employees or third-party contractors may engage in misconduct or other improper activities, including noncompliance with regulatory standards and requirements, which could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Legal proceedings
We and James Oliviero have been named as defendants in a consolidated putative stockholder class action lawsuit pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Court”), which was filed on April 5, 2024. The action is styled In re Checkpoint Therapeutics, Inc. Securities Litigation, No. 1:24-cv-02613-PAE (the “Securities Class Action”). On June 21, 2024, the Court appointed a lead plaintiff for the putative class and approved his choice of lead counsel. The lead plaintiff filed his amended complaint (the “Amended Complaint”) on August 23, 2024, which alleges that defendants violated the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and SEC Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder by making false and misleading statements and omissions, and that James Oliviero is named as a control person under Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act. The Amended Complaint was filed on behalf of stockholders who purchased shares of our common stock between March 10, 2021 and December 15, 2023, and seeks, among other things, monetary damages on behalf of the purported class. Defendants moved to dismiss the Amended Complaint on October 23, 2024, and the motion was fully briefed in February 2025.
