Binary clinical trial risk - Phase 2/3 failure would likely render equity worthless given single-asset focus
Regulatory approval uncertainty - FDA may require additional trials or reject approval despite positive data
Competitive pressure from established immuno-oncology players (Merck, BMS, Roche) with superior resources and market access
Large pharma intratumoral therapy programs (Amgen's IMLYGIC, Johnson & Johnson's talimogene) could establish market dominance
Systemic immunotherapy combinations (checkpoint inhibitors plus targeted therapy) may prove superior to intratumoral approaches

Current market cap near cash value suggests high probability of significant dilution or unfavorable partnership terms
89% one-year stock decline indicates potential going-concern risk if unable to access capital markets
