Current report

Other income (expense) is primarily related to interest income and expense, and to gain on VIE'S sale of IPR&D assets. Other income increased $15.3 million and $16.4 million for the three and six months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the same periods of 2025.

Previous wording

The Company believes that TRiMTM enabled therapeutics offer several potential advantages over prior generations and competing technologies, including: simplified manufacturing and reduced costs; multiple routes of administration including subcutaneous injection and inhaled administration; the ability to target multiple tissue types including liver, lung, skeletal muscle, central nervous system (CNS), adipose tissue, ocular, and cardio-myocytes; and the potential for improved safety and reduced risk of intracellular buildup, because there are fewer metabolites from smaller, simpler molecules.

Previous wording

The Company continues to develop other clinical candidates for future clinical trials. Clinical candidates are tested internally and through Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) toxicology studies at outside laboratories. Drug materials for such studies and clinical trials are either manufactured internally or contracted to third-party manufacturers.
