TRVI Stock’s R&D Expense Report
Research and development expenses for the second quarter of fiscal 2021 came out to USD$6.5 million. This is comparable to the USD$4.9 million R&D costs reported for the prior year quarter. This year over year difference is largely driven by an increase in personnel-related costs, resulting from a higher employee headcount. The yearly difference was further consolidated by higher costs associated with increased activity and enrollment in the company’s ongoing Phase 2b/3 PRISM trial. Higher costs of purchases of clinical trial supplies and an increase in consulting and professional fees also contributed to the year over year difference in R$D expenses. The increases, however, were partially offset by lower expenses relating to the company’s Phase 1b clinical trial. The trial targeted patients with chronic liver disease and was completed in the first half of 2020.
