Key Financial Metrics

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Operating Expenses: Total operating expenses decreased by $6.5 million (15%) to $37.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $44.4 million in the prior year period.
  • R&D Expenses: Decreased by $5.8 million to $30.0 million, primarily driven by a $6.5 million reduction in contract research organization (CRO) costs, partially offset by a $0.7 million increase in personnel-related costs.
  • G&A Expenses: Decreased by $0.7 million to $7.9 million, due to lower finance and legal support costs and reduced stock-based compensation.
• Interest Income: Net interest income decreased by $1.9 million to $1.8 million, attributed to lower average invested balances in marketable securities and U.S. treasuries.
• Income Tax Benefit: The company recorded no income tax benefit in the current period, compared to a $2.2 million benefit in the prior year period derived from the sale of New Jersey NOLs and R&D tax credits.
• Liquidity: Total financial assets (cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities) decreased by $33.5 million to $79.4 million.

Guidance, Outlook, Risks, and Unusual Items

• Going Concern Warning: Management has determined there is substantial doubt regarding the company's ability to continue as a going concern. Current resources are estimated to fund operations only through the second quarter of 2027 (less than one year from the filing date).
• Financing Needs: The company expects to require additional funding to complete development and commercialization. Plans include public/private equity, debt financing, or strategic collaborations. Failure to secure funding could force spending reductions or program curtailment.
• Development Milestones:
  • Enrollment for the primary analysis of the Phase 2 pivotal trial for rezatapopt in ovarian cancer has been completed.
  • The company plans to submit an initial New Drug Application (NDA) via accelerated approval in the first quarter of 2027.
• ATM Program: No shares were sold under the At-The-Market (ATM) program during the period. Approximately $113.8 million remains available for future issuances.
• Lease Termination: In March 2026, the company terminated a sublease for laboratory space, recording a net gain of approximately $24,000.

Investor Verification Checklist

• Cash Runway: Verify the specific timeline for cash exhaustion (Q2 2027) and the status of any ongoing financing discussions.
• Rezatapopt Trial Data: Monitor upcoming data readouts from the Phase 2 pivotal trial and the timeline for the planned Q1 2027 NDA submission.
• Capital Raising: Assess the likelihood and terms of potential equity or debt financing given the "substantial doubt" disclosure.
• Expense Management: Review the sustainability of the current burn rate ($34.3M cash used in operations for six months) relative to available cash ($79.4M).
• Regulatory Status: Confirm the FDA's acceptance of the planned accelerated approval pathway for the ovarian cancer indication.
