Business Context and Reporting Period

Key Financial Metrics

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Increased R&D Spend: R&D expenses rose by $4.3 million (32%) year-over-year, primarily driven by a $5.2 million increase in contractual costs for Clinical Research Organizations (CROs) to advance the lead candidate, rezatapopt. This was partially offset by a $1.0 million decrease in personnel and stock-based compensation costs following a workforce reduction in 2024.
• Decreased G&A: G&A expenses declined by $0.9 million due to reduced headcount and lower facility costs following the termination of the previous headquarters lease.
• Income Tax Benefit: The company recorded a $2.2 million income tax benefit in Q1 2025, compared to none in Q1 2024. This resulted from the sale of New Jersey Net Operating Loss (NOL) carryforwards and R&D tax credits. The company has reached the sale limit for this program.
• Lower Interest Income: Net interest income decreased by $1.0 million due to lower interest rates on cash and marketable securities.
• Liquidity Position: Total financial assets decreased by approximately $17.5 million compared to the prior year, reflecting operating cash burn and changes in investment maturities.

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks

• Clinical Progress: The company is continuing to dose patients in the pivotal Phase 2 monotherapy portion of the PYNNACLE trial for rezatapopt. Over 90% of global sites are active. Interim data for approximately 50 patients is expected by mid-2025.
• Strategic Shifts: Enrollment in the Phase 1b combination arm with Merck's KEYTRUDA was discontinued in October 2024. A new investigator-initiated Phase 1b study combining rezatapopt with azacitidine for AML/MDS patients began dosing in Q1 2025.
• Liquidity Outlook: Management believes current cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities ($165.8 million) are sufficient to fund operations through the end of 2026. No shares were sold under the At-The-Market (ATM) program in Q1 2025; approximately $113.8 million remains available.
• Risk Factors:
  • Trade Policy: Significant exposure to U.S.-China trade tensions. Recent tariffs (increasing to 20% and potentially 125% on certain goods) and investigations into pharmaceutical imports could disrupt supply chains and increase costs for raw materials sourced from China.
  • Capital Needs: The company expects to incur substantial losses for the foreseeable future and may require additional equity or debt financing.
  • Regulatory Uncertainty: Success depends on regulatory approval of rezatapopt, which is not guaranteed.

Investor Verification Checklist

• Cash Runway: Verify the sufficiency of the $165.8 million liquidity position against the projected burn rate to confirm the "through end of 2026" guidance.
• Tax Credit Cap: Confirm the impact of reaching the New Jersey tax credit sale limit on future income tax benefits and cash flow projections.
• Supply Chain Exposure: Assess the specific percentage of raw materials sourced from China and the potential financial impact of the newly imposed tariffs and trade restrictions.
• Clinical Milestones: Monitor the timeline for the mid-2025 interim data release from the PYNNACLE Phase 2 trial.
• ATM Program: Track future utilization of the remaining $113.8 million ATM capacity for potential dilution.
