PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

This prospectus summary highlights certain information about our company and other information contained elsewhere in this prospectus or in documents incorporated by reference. This summary does not contain all of the information that you should consider before making an investment decision. You should carefully read the entire prospectus, any prospectus supplement, including the section entitled "Risk Factors" and the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus, before making an investment decision.

Our Company

Overview

Dogwood Therapeutics, Inc. operates in one segment and is a development-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing new medicines to treat pain and peripheral neuropathy associated with cancer treatment, with the ability to expand into other pain states with continued clinical success. Pain and neuropathy affect the majority of patients undergoing chemotherapy treatment with deleterious effects on patient quality of life and function and can result in patients lowering their dose or stopping chemotherapy resulting from progression to moderate or severe forms of the illness. There are no FDA-approved treatments for patients suffering from chemotherapy induced pain or neuropathy ("CINP"), highlighting a significant medical need for advancing new treatments to manage CINP. Chronic pain medications approved by the FDA to treat other forms of chronic pain have failed to exhibit consistent clinical benefits in eleven of twelve previous research trials, highlighting limitations of using other pain medications "off-label" to manage CINP symptoms.

Our priority pipeline drug candidates include:

●          Halneuron® - a voltage gated sodium channel inhibitor (NaV 1.7 modulation) presently in Phase 2b development to treat the chronic pain resulting from cancer chemotherapy, with potential to expand into non-neuropathic cancer pain and acute post-surgical pain. Halneuron® has demonstrated effectiveness in reducing both cancer related pain, as well as CINP in prior phase 2 clinical research, as well as an acceptable safety profile. Halneuron® has been granted fast-track review designation by the FDA as a treatment for CINP.

●          SP16 - a proprietary peptide drug that exhibits immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory properties which is poised to enter Phase 1 development to treat peripheral neuropathy resulting from cancer chemotherapy. The neurotrophic effects of SP16, as demonstrated in preclinical research, appear to have potential neuroprotective effects by activating neurite survival and growth in the presence of paclitaxel, highlighting potential to preserve a patient's full chemotherapy regimen rather than reducing or stopping their regimen altogether due to the debilitating effects of chemotherapy induced neuropathy.

RISK FACTORS

Investing in our securities involves risk. Before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider the risks described under "Risk Factors" in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on March 18, 2026, and any updates thereto in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, together with all of the other information appearing in or incorporated by reference into this prospectus, in light of your particular investment objectives and financial circumstances. The risks and uncertainties we have described in such documents are not the only risks that we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also affect our operations. Our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected by any of these risks. The trading price of our securities could decline due to any of these risks, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

Risks Related to this Offering

Resales of our shares of Common Stock in the public market by our stockholders as a result of this offering may cause the market price of our Common Stock to fall.

We are registering for resale 4,098,360 Shares held by the Selling Stockholder. As a result, a significant number of shares may be sold into the public market following the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. Sales of substantial amounts of our shares of Common Stock in the public market by the Selling Stockholder, or the perception that such sales might occur, could adversely affect the market price of our shares of Common Stock and increase volatility in the trading price of our Common Stock. Furthermore, in the future, we may issue additional shares of Common Stock or other equity or debt securities exercisable or convertible into shares of Common Stock. Any such issuance could result in substantial dilution to our existing stockholders and could cause our stock price to decline.

The Private Placement further concentrated ownership of our Common Stock in our controlling stockholder and its affiliates, which may exert significant influence over us and whose interests may differ from those of our other stockholders.

Following the Private Placement, Sealbond beneficially owns approximately 67.8% of our issued and outstanding Common Stock and Conjoint, Inc., an affiliate of Sealbond, holds approximately 7.4% of our issued and outstanding Common Stock. As a result, Sealbond and its affiliates have the ability to control the outcome of matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, including the election of directors and any merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our assets, and to significantly influence our management and affairs. This concentration of ownership may delay, deter or prevent a change of control, could deprive our stockholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their Common Stock, and may adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock. Because the Shares offered hereby were issued prior to the date of this prospectus, their resale will not increase the number of our outstanding shares of Common Stock.

Any market activity involving short selling or other market making activities could result in negative impact to the market price for our Common Stock.

Short selling is a method used to capitalize on an expected decline in the market price of a security and could depress the price of our Common Stock, which could further increase the potential for future short sales. Sales of our Common Stock could encourage short sales by market participants, which could create negative market momentum. Continued short selling may bring about a temporary, or possibly long term, decline in the market price of our Common Stock. The Company cannot predict the size of future issuances or sales of Common Stock or the effect, if any, that future issuances and sales of Common Stock will have on its market price or the activities of short sellers. Sales involving significant amounts of Common Stock, including issuances made in the ordinary course of the Company's business, or the perception that such sales could occur, may materially and adversely affect prevailing market prices of the Common Stock.

5

Our Common Stock may be delisted from Nasdaq if the Company cannot maintain compliance with Nasdaq's continued listing requirements.

If the Company is unable to maintain compliance with Nasdaq's continued listing requirements, delisting from The Nasdaq Capital Market or any Nasdaq market could make trading our Common Stock more difficult for investors, potentially leading to declines in our share price and liquidity. In addition, without a Nasdaq market listing, stockholders may have a difficult time getting a quote for the sale or purchase of our stock, the sale or purchase of our stock would likely be made more difficult and the trading volume and liquidity of our stock could decline. Delisting from Nasdaq could also result in negative publicity and could also make it more difficult for us to raise additional capital. The absence of such a listing may adversely affect the acceptance of our Common Stock as currency or the value accorded by other parties. Further, if the Company is delisted, the Company would also incur additional costs under state blue sky laws in connection with any sales of our securities. These requirements could severely limit the market liquidity of our Common Stock and the ability of our stockholders to sell our Common Stock in the secondary market. If our Common Stock is delisted by Nasdaq, our Common Stock may be eligible to trade on an over-the-counter quotation system, such as the OTCQB market, where an investor may find it more difficult to sell our stock or obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of our Common Stock. The Company cannot assure you that our Common Stock, if delisted from Nasdaq, will be listed on another national securities exchange or quoted on an over-the-counter quotation system. If our Common Stock is delisted, it may come within the definition of "penny stock" as defined in the Exchange Act and would be covered by Rule 15g-9 of the Exchange Act. That Rule imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. For transactions covered by Rule 15g-9, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction prior to the sale. Consequently, Rule 15g-9, if it were to become applicable, would affect the ability or willingness of broker-dealers to sell our securities, and accordingly would affect the ability of stockholders to sell their securities in the public market. These additional procedures could also limit our ability to raise additional capital in the future.

A substantial number of shares of our Common Stock are registered for resale or are issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants and options, and resales of those shares, or the perception that such resales may occur, could cause the market price of our Common Stock to fall.

We are registering for resale 4,098,360 Shares held by the Selling Stockholder under this prospectus. In addition, in January 2026 we issued pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 2,047,089 shares of Common Stock and warrants to purchase up to 4,386,037 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $3.28 per share, and we previously registered the resale of up to 6,433,126 shares of Common Stock underlying those warrants on a registration statement on Form S-3 filed with the SEC on January 15, 2026. As of October 28, 2026, 1,846,227 additional shares of our Common Stock were issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options and 11,700 shares were issuable upon the exercise of outstanding non-qualified options. The aggregate number of shares that are registered for resale or issuable upon exercise of these securities is substantial in relation to the number of shares of our Common Stock held by non-affiliates.

As a result, a significant number of shares may be sold into the public market following the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. Sales of substantial amounts of our shares of Common Stock in the public market by the Selling Stockholder or by the holders of these other securities, or the perception that such sales might occur, could adversely affect the market price of our shares of Common Stock and increase volatility in the trading price of our Common Stock. Because the Shares offered hereby were issued prior to the date of this prospectus, their resale will not increase the number of our outstanding shares of Common Stock. We have disclosed that the warrants issued in January 2026, if exercised in full for cash, would generate up to approximately $14.4 million of additional gross proceeds; however, the $3.28 exercise price of those warrants substantially exceeds the $1.22 per Share purchase price in the Private Placement, and holders are unlikely to exercise them for cash unless and until the market price of our Common Stock exceeds that exercise price. Accordingly, we may never receive those proceeds and should not be expected to rely on them as a source of liquidity.

If the Company sells securities in future financings, our stockholders may experience immediate dilution and, as a result, our stock price may decline.

The Company may from time-to-time issue additional shares of Common Stock at a discount from the current market price of our Common Stock, including potential sales of our equity to an institutional investor as described above. As a result, our stockholders would experience immediate dilution upon the purchase of any of our securities sold at such discount. In addition, as opportunities present themselves, the Company may enter into financing or similar arrangements in the future, including the issuance of debt securities, preferred stock or Common Stock. If the Company issues Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock, our common stockholders could experience additional dilution and, as a result, our stock price may decline.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement and the documents we incorporate by reference in this prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement contains forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this prospectus, including statements regarding our future results of operations and financial position, business strategy, prospective products, product approvals, research and development costs, timing and likelihood of success, plans and objectives of management for future operations and future results of anticipated products, are forward-looking statements. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of the words "aim," "anticipate," "assume," "believe," "contemplate," "continue," "could," "design," "due," "estimate," "expect," "goal," "intend," "may," "objective," "plan," "predict," "positioned," "potential," "seek," "should," "target," "will," "would" and other similar words and phrases, including the negatives of these terms, or other variations of these terms, that denote future events. The forward-looking statements in this prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement and the documents we incorporate by reference in this prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement are only predictions. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this prospectus and are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions described under the sections in this prospectus titled "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this prospectus. Because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified and some of which are beyond our control, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. The events and circumstances reflected in our forward-looking statements may not be achieved or occur and actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Moreover, we operate in an evolving environment. New risk factors and uncertainties may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for management to predict all risk factors and uncertainties. Except as required by applicable law, we do not plan to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements contained herein, whether as a result of any new information, future events, changed circumstances or otherwise. Although we believe that we have a reasonable basis for each forward-looking statement contained in this prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement, we caution you that these statements are based on a combination of facts and factors currently known by us and our expectations of the future, about which we cannot be certain.

This prospectus and any related prospectus supplement also contains, or may contain, estimates, projections and other information concerning our industry, our business and the markets for our products, including data regarding the estimated size of those markets and their projected growth rates. We obtained the industry and market data in this prospectus from our own research as well as from industry and general publications, surveys and studies conducted by third parties. This data involves a number of assumptions and limitations and contains projections and estimates of the future performance of the industries in which we operate that are subject to a high degree of uncertainty, including those discussed in "Risk Factors." We caution you not to give undue weight to such projections, assumptions and estimates. Further, industry and general publications, studies and surveys generally state that they have been obtained from sources believed to be reliable, although they do not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of such information. While we believe that these publications, studies and surveys are reliable, we have not independently verified the data contained in them. In addition, while we believe that the results and estimates from our internal research are reliable, such results and estimates have not been verified by any independent source.

These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about future results of operations, financial position, research and development costs, regulatory approvals, and capital requirements and our needs for additional financing.

We caution you that the aforementioned statements may not contain all of the forward-looking statements made in this prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement.

You should read this prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement and the documents that we reference in this prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement and have filed as exhibits to the registration statement, of which this prospectus is a part, completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements.

DIVIDEND POLICY

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our Common Stock. We intend to retain future earnings, if any, to finance the operation and expansion of our business and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Investors should not purchase our Common Stock with the expectation of receiving cash dividends. Any future determination related to our dividend policy will be made at the discretion of our board of directors after considering our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, business prospects and other factors our board of directors deems relevant, and subject to the restrictions contained in any future financing instruments.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of any shares of Common Stock offered by the Selling Stockholder under this prospectus. Any proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock under this prospectus will be received by the Selling Stockholder. We have agreed to pay certain offering fees and expenses in connection with the registration of the Selling Stockholder's securities and to indemnify the Selling Stockholder against certain liabilities. Please see "Selling Stockholder" for more information regarding the Selling Stockholder.

Each holder of our Common Stock is entitled to one vote for each share on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders, and holders do not have cumulative voting rights. Elections of directors by holders of our Common Stock are determined by a plurality of the votes cast by the stockholders entitled to vote in the election. Subject to the supermajority votes for some matters, other matters are decided by the affirmative vote of our stockholders having a majority in voting power of the votes cast by the stockholders present or represented and voting on such matter.

Dividends

Holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive proportionately any dividends as may be declared by our board of directors, subject to any preferential dividend rights of any series of preferred stock that we may designate and issue in the future.

Liquidation

In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, holders of Common Stock will be entitled to share ratably in the net assets legally available for distribution to stockholders after the payment of all of our debts and other liabilities and the satisfaction of any liquidation preference granted to the holders of any then-outstanding shares of preferred stock.

10

Rights and Preferences

Holders of Common Stock have no preemptive, conversion or subscription rights and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the Common Stock. The rights, preferences and privileges of the holders of Common Stock are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of shares of any series of preferred stock that we may designate in the future.

Anti-Takeover Effect of Delaware Law and Certain Charter and Bylaw Provisions

Some provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws make the following transactions more difficult: an acquisition of us by means of a tender offer; an acquisition of us by means of a proxy contest or otherwise; or the removal of our incumbent officers and directors. It is possible that these provisions could make it more difficult to accomplish or could deter transactions that stockholders may otherwise consider to be in their best interest or in our best interests, including transactions which provide for payment of a premium over the market price for our shares.

These provisions, summarized below, are intended to discourage coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids. These provisions are also designed to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to first negotiate with our board of directors. We believe that the benefits of the increased protection of our potential ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal to acquire or restructure us outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging these proposals because negotiation of these proposals could result in an improvement of their terms.

Authorized but Unissued Shares

Our authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock and preferred stock are available for future issuance without stockholder approval. These additional shares may be utilized for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public offerings to raise additional capital and corporate acquisitions. The existence of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock and preferred stock could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of a majority of our Common Stock by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.

Stockholder Meetings

Any action to be taken by our stockholders must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of stockholders and may not be taken by written consent.

Requirements for Advance Notification of Stockholder Nominations and Proposals

Stockholders seeking to present proposals before a meeting of stockholders or to nominate candidates for election as directors at a meeting of stockholders must provide advance notice in writing, and also specify requirements as to the form and content of a stockholder's notice.

Anti-Takeover Effects of Provisions of Delaware Law

We are subject to Section 203 of the DGCL, which prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in any business combination with any interested stockholder for a period of three years after the date that such stockholder became an interested stockholder unless the business combination is, or the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder was, approved in a prescribed manner or another prescribed exception applies. In general, Section 203 defines an "interested stockholder" as an entity or person who, together with the person's affiliates and associates, beneficially owns, or within three years prior to the time of determination of interested stockholder status did own, 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation. In general, a "business combination" includes a merger, asset or stock sale, or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. The existence of this provision may have an anti-takeover effect with respect to transactions not approved in advance by the board of directors.

11

Exclusive Forum Selection

Our certificate of incorporation provides that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware does not have jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Delaware) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for the following claims or causes of action under the Delaware statutory or common law: (A) any derivative claim or cause of action brought on behalf of the Company; (B) any claim or cause of action for breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any current or former director, officer or other employee of the Company, to the Company or the Company's stockholders; (C) any claim or cause of action against the Company or any current or former director, officer or other employee of the Company, arising out of or pursuant to any provision of the DGCL, the certificate of incorporation or the bylaws of the Company (as each may be amended from time to time); (D) any claim or cause of action seeking to interpret, apply, enforce or determine the validity of the certificate of incorporation or the bylaws of the Company (as each may be amended from time to time, including any right, obligation, or remedy thereunder); (E) any claim or cause of action as to which the DGCL confers jurisdiction on the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware; and (F) any claim or cause of action against the Company or any current or former director, officer or other employee of the Company, governed by the internal-affairs doctrine, in all cases to the fullest extent permitted by law and subject to the court having personal jurisdiction over the indispensable parties named as defendants. This exclusive forum provision would not apply to suits brought to enforce any liability or duty created by the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction. To the extent that any such claims may be based upon federal law claims, Section 27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. Furthermore, Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. Although our certificate of incorporation contains the choice of forum provision described above, it is possible that a court could rule that such a provision is inapplicable for a particular claim or action or that such provision is unenforceable.

Advance Notice Requirements

Our bylaws establish an advance notice procedure for stockholder proposals to be brought before an annual meeting of our stockholders, including proposed nominations of persons for election to the board of directors. Stockholders at an annual meeting will only be able to consider proposals or nominations specified in the notice of meeting or brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the board of directors or by a stockholder who was a stockholder of record on the record date for the meeting, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who has given our Secretary timely written notice, in proper form, of the stockholder's intention to bring that business before the meeting. Although our bylaws do not give the board of directors the power to approve or disapprove stockholder nominations of candidates or proposals regarding other business to be conducted at a special or annual meeting, our bylaws may have the effect of precluding the conduct of certain business at a meeting if the proper procedures are not followed or may discourage or deter a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect its own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us.

Transfer Agent and Registrar

Broadridge Corporate Issuer Solutions, LLC is the transfer agent and registrar for our Common Stock.

Preferred Stock

Under the terms of our certificate of incorporation, our board of directors has the authority, without further action by our stockholders, to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series, to establish from time to time the number of shares to be included in each such series, to fix the rights, preferences and privileges of the shares of each wholly unissued series and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereon, and to increase or decrease the number of shares of any such series, but not below the number of shares of such series then outstanding. The powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights of each series of preferred stock, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, if any, may differ from those of any and all other series at any time outstanding. As of the date of this prospectus, no shares of preferred stock are issued and outstanding.

12

Other Preferred Stock

Our board of directors may authorize the issuance of additional preferred stock with voting or conversion rights that could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of our Common Stock and/or our existing preferred stock. The purpose of authorizing our board of directors to issue preferred stock and determine its rights and preferences is to eliminate delays associated with a stockholder vote on specific issuances. The issuance of additional preferred stock, while providing flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could, among other things, have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of the Company and may adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock and the voting and other rights of the holders of our Common Stock and/or our existing preferred stock. It is not possible to state the actual effect of the issuance of any additional shares of preferred stock on the rights of holders of Common Stock and/or our existing preferred stock until the board of directors determines the specific rights attached to that preferred stock.

See "Description of Capital Stock-Anti-Takeover Effect of Delaware Law and Certain Charter and Bylaw Provisions" above for a discussion of certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws and the DGCL that may affect the terms of preferred stock.

SELLING STOCKHOLDER

We are registering for resale the Shares held by the Selling Stockholder, which were issued in the Private Placement, in order to satisfy our obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement and to permit the Selling Stockholder and its pledgees, transferees and other successors-in-interest that receive Shares from such Selling Stockholder as a gift, partnership distribution or other non-sale related transfer after the date of this prospectus to resell the Shares when and as they deem appropriate in the manner described in the "Plan of Distribution." The following table sets forth:

· the name and address of the Selling Stockholder;
· the number of shares of Common Stock that the Selling Stockholder beneficially owned prior to the offering for resale of the Shares under this prospectus;
· the maximum number of Shares that may be offered for resale for the account of the Selling Stockholder under this prospectus; and
· the number and percentage of shares of Common Stock to be beneficially owned by the Selling Stockholder after the offering of the Shares (assuming all of the offered Shares are sold by such Selling Stockholder).

Sealbond is our largest stockholder and an affiliate of the Company, and beneficially owns approximately 67.8% of our outstanding Common Stock. Sealbond is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of CK Life Sciences Int'l., (Holdings) Inc. ("CKLS"). CKLS is the parent of Conjoint, Inc., which beneficially owns approximately 7.4% of our outstanding Common Stock and is an affiliate of Sealbond. Melvin Toh, M.B.B.S., a member of our board of directors, is a Director and the Vice President and Chief Scientific Officer of CK Life Sciences Int'l., (Holdings) Inc. ("CKLS"), and Alan Yu, a member of our board of directors, is the Deputy Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of CKLS. The Selling Stockholder is not a broker-dealer or an affiliate of a broker-dealer. The Selling Stockholder acquired the Shares solely for its own beneficial account, for investment purposes, and not with a view to, or resale in connection with, any distribution of the Shares. Prior to this offering, the Selling Stockholder has not sold any of the shares of Common Stock held by it, nor have any of its affiliates sold the shares of Common Stock held by such affiliates.

This table is prepared based on information supplied to us by the Selling Stockholder, and reflects holdings as of October 28, 2026. The Selling Stockholder may offer for sale all or part of the Shares from time to time. The table below assumes that the Selling Stockholder will sell all of the Shares offered for sale. The Selling Stockholder is under no obligation, however, to sell any Shares pursuant to this prospectus.

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that person, securities that are currently convertible or exercisable into our Common Stock, or convertible or exercisable within 60 days following the date of this prospectus, are deemed beneficially owned by such person.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The Selling Stockholder, which as used herein includes donees, pledgees, transferees or other successors-in-interest selling shares of Common Stock or interests therein received after the date of this prospectus from the Selling Stockholder as a gift, pledge, partnership distribution or other transfer, may, from time to time, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of their shares of Common Stock or interests therein on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These dispositions may be at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market price, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices.

The Selling Stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when disposing of shares or interests therein:

· distributions to members, partners, stockholders or other equityholders of the Selling Stockholder;
· ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
· block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent, but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
· purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
· an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
· privately negotiated transactions;
· short sales and settlement of short sales entered into after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part;
· through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;
· broker-dealers may agree with the Selling Stockholder to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;
· a combination of any such methods of sale; and
· any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

The Selling Stockholder may, from time to time, pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of Common Stock owned by it and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of Common Stock, from time to time, under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act, amending the selling stockholder list to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as a selling stockholder under this prospectus. The Selling Stockholder also may transfer the shares of Common Stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be a selling stockholder for purposes of this prospectus.

In addition, a selling stockholder that is an entity may elect to make an in-kind distribution of securities to its members, partners or stockholders pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part by delivering a prospectus with a plan of distribution. Such members, partners or stockholders would thereby receive freely tradeable securities pursuant to the distribution through a registration statement. To the extent a distributee is an affiliate of ours (or to the extent otherwise required by law), we may file a prospectus supplement in order to permit the distributees to use the prospectus to resell the securities acquired in the distribution.

15

In connection with the sale of our Common Stock or interests therein, the Selling Stockholder may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the Common Stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The Selling Stockholder may also sell shares of our Common Stock short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the Common Stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The Selling Stockholder may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

The aggregate proceeds to the Selling Stockholder from the sale of the Common Stock offered by it will be the purchase price of the Common Stock less discounts or commissions, if any. The Selling Stockholder reserves the right to accept and, together with its agents from time to time, to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of Common Stock to be made directly or through agents. We will not receive any of the proceeds from this offering.

The Selling Stockholder also may resell all or a portion of the shares in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act, provided that they meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of that rule, or another available exemption from the registration requirements under the Securities Act.

The Selling Stockholder and any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents that participate in the sale of the Common Stock or interests therein may be "underwriters" within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act (it being understood that the Selling Stockholder shall not be deemed to be an underwriter solely as a result of its participation in this offering). Any discounts, commissions, concessions or profit they earn on any resale of the shares may be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. A selling stockholder who is an "underwriter" within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.

To the extent required, the shares of Common Stock to be sold, the names of the Selling Stockholder, the respective purchase prices and public offering prices, the names of any agent, dealer or underwriter, and any applicable commissions or discounts with respect to a particular offer will be set forth in an accompanying prospectus supplement or, if appropriate, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement that includes this prospectus.

In order to comply with the securities laws of some states, if applicable, the Common Stock may be sold in these jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the Common Stock may not be sold unless it has been registered or qualified for sale or an exemption from registration or qualification requirements is available and is complied with.

We have advised the Selling Stockholder that the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of shares in the market and to the activities of the Selling Stockholder and its affiliates. In addition, to the extent applicable, we will make copies of this prospectus (as it may be supplemented or amended from time to time) available to the Selling Stockholder for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The Selling Stockholder may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of the shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

We have agreed to indemnify the Selling Stockholder against liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act and state securities laws, relating to the registration of the shares of Common Stock offered by this prospectus.

We have agreed with the Selling Stockholder to use reasonable best efforts to cause the registration statement of which this prospectus constitutes a part to become effective and to remain continuously effective until the earlier of: (i) the date on which the selling stockholder shall have resold or otherwise disposed of all the shares covered by this prospectus, and (ii) the date on which the securities covered by this prospectus no longer constitute "Registrable Securities" as such term is defined in the Registration Rights Agreement, such that they may be resold by the Selling Stockholder without registration and without regard to any volume or manner-of-sale limitations and without current public information pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect.

16

The Selling Stockholder and any other persons participating in the sale or distribution of the Shares offered under this prospectus will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations under that act, including Regulation M. These provisions may restrict activities of, and limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the Shares by, the Selling Stockholder or any other person. Furthermore, under Regulation M, persons engaged in a distribution of securities are prohibited from simultaneously engaging in market making and other activities with respect to those securities for a specified period of time prior to the commencement of such distributions, subject to specified exceptions or exemptions. All of these limitations may affect the marketability of the Shares.

If any of the Shares offered for sale pursuant to this prospectus are transferred other than pursuant to a sale under this prospectus, then subsequent holders could not use this prospectus until a post-effective amendment or prospectus supplement is filed, naming such holders. We offer no assurance as to whether the Selling Stockholder will sell all or any portion of the Shares offered under this prospectus.

Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company will pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the Shares being offered under this prospectus. The Selling Stockholder is responsible for paying any discounts, commissions and similar selling expenses it incurs.

Under the Registration Rights Agreement, we have agreed to indemnify the Selling Stockholder and its controlling persons, members, directors, officers, partners, employees, managers, agents, representatives and advisors against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, and the Selling Stockholder has agreed to indemnify us and certain related persons against liabilities arising from information it furnishes in writing for use in this prospectus, limited to the proceeds received by the Selling Stockholder from the sale of the Shares giving rise to such claim.

We and the Selling Stockholder have agreed to indemnify one another against certain losses, damages and liabilities arising in connection with this prospectus, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

The Shares will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the Shares covered hereby may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

17

LEGAL MATTERS

Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, the validity of the securities offered hereby will be passed upon for us by Duane Morris LLP. If the validity of the securities offered hereby in connection with offerings made pursuant to this prospectus are passed upon by counsel for the underwriters, dealers or agents, if any, such counsel will be named in the prospectus supplement relating to such offering.

EXPERTS

The consolidated financial statements of Dogwood Therapeutics, Inc. (the "Company") as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and for the years then ended, have been audited by Forvis Mazars, LLP, independent registered public accounting firm, as set forth in their report thereon, included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, and incorporated herein by reference. Such consolidated financial statements have been incorporated herein by reference in reliance upon such report given on the authority of such firm as experts in accounting and auditing.

The report of Forvis Mazars, LLP contains an explanatory paragraph regarding substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

LIMITATION ON LIABILITY AND DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION OF SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES

Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers, and may indemnify any other person, to the extent our board of directors deems advisable, to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

We are incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL, provides that a corporation may, in its original certificate of incorporation or an amendment thereto, eliminate or limit the personal liability of a director for violations of the director's fiduciary duty, except (1) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (2) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (3) pursuant to Section 174 of the DGCL, which provides for liability of directors for unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock purchases or redemptions or (4) for any transaction from which a director derived an improper personal benefit.

Section 145 of the DGCL provides that a corporation may indemnify any person, including an officer or director, who is, or is threatened to be made, party to any threatened, pending or completed legal action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, other than an action by or in the right of such corporation, by reason of the fact that such person was an officer, director, employee or agent of such corporation or is or was serving at the request of such corporation as an officer, director, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, provided such officer, director, employee or agent acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the corporation's best interest and, for criminal proceedings, had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. A Delaware corporation may indemnify any officer or director in an action by or in the right of the corporation under the same conditions, except that no indemnification is permitted without judicial approval if the officer or director is adjudged to be liable to the corporation. Where an officer or director is successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action referred to above, the corporation must indemnify him against the expenses that such officer or director actually and reasonably incurred.

Our certificate of incorporation as currently in effect provides that none of our directors shall be personally liable to us or to our stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a director, notwithstanding any provision of law imposing such liability, except to the extent that the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware prohibits the elimination or limitation of liability of directors for breaches of fiduciary duty.

II-1

Our certificate of incorporation further provides that we will indemnify each person who was or is a party or threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (other than an action by or in the right of us) by reason of the fact that he or she is or was, or has agreed to become, a director or officer, or is or was serving, or has agreed to serve, at our request as a director, officer, partner, employee or trustee of, or in a similar capacity with, another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (all such persons being referred to as an "Indemnitee"), or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted in such capacity, against all expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such action, suit or proceeding and any appeal therefrom, if such Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, our best interests, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, he or she had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. Our certificate of incorporation provides that we will indemnify any Indemnitee who was or is a party to an action or suit by or in the right of us to procure a judgment in our favor by reason of the fact that the Indemnitee is or was, or has agreed to become, a director or officer, or is or was serving, or has agreed to serve, at our request as a director, officer, partner, employee or trustee of, or in a similar capacity with, another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted in such capacity, against all expenses (including attorneys' fees) and, to the extent permitted by law, amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, and any appeal therefrom, if the Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, our best interests, except that no indemnification shall be made with respect to any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to us, unless a court determines that, despite such adjudication but in view of all of the circumstances, he or she is entitled to indemnification of such expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that any Indemnitee has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, he or she will be indemnified by us against all expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred in connection therewith. Expenses must be advanced to an Indemnitee under certain circumstances.

Our bylaws as currently in effect provide for the indemnification of officers and directors acting on our behalf if this person acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in and not opposed to our best interest, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, the indemnified party had no reason to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.

In addition, we have entered into separate indemnification agreements with each of our executive officers and directors. Such agreements may require us, among other things, to advance expenses and otherwise indemnify our executive officers and directors against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as executive officers or directors, or any of our subsidiaries or any other company or enterprise to which the person provides at our request, to the fullest extent permitted by law. We intend to enter into indemnification agreements with any new directors and executive officers in the future.

We have purchased and intend to maintain insurance on behalf of us and any person who is or was a director or officer against any loss arising from any claim asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her in that capacity, subject to certain exclusions and limits of the amount of coverage.

Item 17. Undertakings.

a.            The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

1.             To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

i.             To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

ii.            To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Filing Fees" or "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and

iii.           To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

Provided however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) of this section do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the Registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.

2.            That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

3.            To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

4.            That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser:

i.             Each prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

ii.            Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the Registration Statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the Registration Statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.

II-3

5.            That, for the purpose of determining liability of the Registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned Registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned Registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

i.             Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned Registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

ii.            Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned Registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned Registrant;

iii.           The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned Registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned Registrant; and

iv.           Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned Registrant to the purchaser.

b.            The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

c.            Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
