2025 Annual Earnings Highlights
Key Highlights
Net Loss Narrows Significantly Net loss decreased $16,995 K to $(38,182) K for 2025, reflecting reduced warrant liability impact.
Aglatimagene Prostate Success Phase 3 DFS endpoint met for aglatimagene plus radiation (HR 0.70); median DFS not reached.
R&D Investment Increases Research and development expenses increased $11.18M to $30.50M, driven by clinical trial manufacturing costs.
Cash Position Strengthened Cash and equivalents totaled $119.73M by year-end 2025, supported by recent financing activities.
Risk Factors
Substantial Funding Required Need substantial additional funding; inability to raise capital forces program delays, reductions, or cessation of operations.

Clinical Trial Success Dependency Business success depends on clinical trials adequately demonstrating safety and efficacy for aglatimagene and linoserpaturev.
Unpredictable Regulatory Approval Regulatory approval processes are lengthy, complex, and inherently unpredictable, potentially impairing revenue generation.
