Current report
In October 2025 we presented early results from its Phase 1b clinical study in patients with Parkinson’s disease at the International Congress of Parkinson’s Disease and Movement Disorders®. GT-02287 was generally well tolerated,
Current report
with no treatment-emergent serious adverse events observed. Additionally, participants in the open label trial appear to be benefitting from stabilization and trending improvements in their MDS-UPDRS scores after 90 days of GT-02287 administration.
Current report
In September 2025 we elected to extend the open label study for an additional 9 months to allow participants interested in remaining on GT-02287 to continue on the study. The majority of participants have elected to remain on the open label extension.
Current report
In July 2025, we completed the public offering of 4,501,640 shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase 2,250,820 shares of our common stock. The warrants were offered and sold at a rate of one warrant for every two shares of common stock purchased. The public offering price for each set of two shares of common stock and accompanying warrant to purchase one share of common stock was $3.11, yielding an effective price of $1.55 per share and $0.01 per warrant. Each warrant has an exercise price of $1.65 per share of common stock and was immediately exercisable on the date of issuance. The public offering resulted in gross proceeds of $7.0 million, which included $1.0 million in offering expenses, such as underwriter fees and legal, audit, and advisory costs, for net proceeds of $6.0 million. In the third quarter ended September 30, 2025, 25,300 public warrants were exercised resulting in the issuance of 25,300 shares of common stock and additional net proceeds of $42 thousand. In October 2025, 60,615 public warrants were exercised resulting in the issuance of 60,615 shares of common stock and additional net proceeds of $100 thousand.
Current report
Research and development expenses increased by $0.2 million to $2.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to $2.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The increases in research and development expenses were primarily related to costs associated with the ongoing Phase 1b clinical trial and unfavorable foreign exchange currency translation as the Swiss franc and Australian dollar strengthened against the U.S. dollar. The increases were partially offset by optimization of our pipeline costs and lower research and development personnel costs.
Current report
General and administrative expenses increased by $0.1 million to $1.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to $1.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The increases in general and administrative expenses for the period were primarily attributable to higher stock-based compensation, higher personnel costs, and unfavorable foreign exchange currency translation as the Swiss franc and Australian dollar strengthened against the U.S. dollar. The increases were partially offset by lower legal and professional fees related to general corporate matters.
Current report
Foreign exchange loss, net decreased by $94 thousand to a loss of $27 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to $121 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease was mainly attributable to stabilization of exchange rates within the three month period.

underlying cause of the disease. We believe that Magellan™ is uniquely suited to identify allosteric binding sites on the protein surface, which are different from the active (or orthosteric) binding site where the natural ligand of the protein binds. Targeting an allosteric binding site instead of the active binding site of a protein provides numerous advantages, including: the ability to regulate proteins implicated in disease through several different mechanisms of action covering both functional and conformational effects, including stabilization, destabilization, targeted degradation, allosteric inhibition, and allosteric activation of the targeted protein; improved specificity of small molecules because binding to an allosteric binding site is non-competitive with the natural substrate that binds to the active binding site; and the ability to identify small molecules with more favorable drug-like properties. We have used our drug discovery platform to identify novel allosteric sites and small molecules for all of our pipeline programs. We plan to continue to advance our existing research programs and initiate additional programs targeting allosteric binding sites identified with the Magellan™ platform in various therapeutic areas through academic partnerships, co-development and licensing arrangements.
Current wording
We are a biotechnology company developing novel small molecule therapeutics to treat diseases across several therapeutic areas, including, central nervous system (CNS) disorders, lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs) and metabolic disorders through molecular chaperoning to stabilize misfolded proteins and increase their activity, as well as other diseases that can be targeted through protein inactivation or modulation, such as oncology. We use our computational target and drug discovery platform, Magellan™, to discover novel allosteric binding sites on proteins implicated in a disease and to identify proprietary small molecules that bind these sites to modulate protein function and treat the underlying cause of the disease. We believe that Magellan™ is uniquely suited to identify allosteric binding sites on the protein surface, which are different from the active (or orthosteric) binding site where the natural ligand of the protein binds.

Our clinical stage product candidate, GT-02287, is being developed for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease with and without GBA1 mutations. We have generated an extensive preclinical data package providing evidence of the mechanism of action, in vivo pharmacology, and safety of GT-02287. In preclinical models of GBA1 Parkinson’s disease, GT-02287 has been shown to restore glucocerebrosidase, or GCase, function in the lysosome, reduce toxic lipid substrates and toxic forms of alpha-synuclein, reduce endoplasmic reticulum stress, improve mitochondrial health and overall survival of dopaminergic neurons, increasing dopamine levels, restoring locomotor and cognitive function, and reducing plasma-based neurodegeneration maker, neurofilament light chain (NfL), back to the level of control animals. In a Phase 1 first-in-human study (n = 72), GT-02287 was safe and generally well tolerated up to and including the highest planned dose level, enabling further development in GBA1 Parkinson’s patients. Additionally, administration of GT-02287 was associated with a mean increase in GCase activity of 53% among healthy volunteers at doses that were predicted to be in the therapeutic range based on preclinical models and will be carried forward in later stage trials of GT-02287. The good safety and tolerability profile and the observed range of plasma exposure levels achieved after oral administration further bolster GT-02287’s best in-class potential.

development and obtain regulatory approval for our product candidates. We expect our research and development expenses to remain significant and to increase to support progress in our research and development activities. In addition, if we obtain regulatory approval for our product candidates and do not enter into a third-party commercialization partnership, we expect to incur significant expenses related to developing our commercialization capability to support product sales, marketing, manufacturing and distribution activities. These efforts require significant amounts of additional capital for us to complete our research and development programs, achieve our research and development objectives, defend our intellectual property rights, and recruit and retain skilled personnel, and key members of management. Even if our product development efforts are successful, it is uncertain when, if ever, we will realize significant revenue from product sales.
Current wording
Since our inception in 2017, we have devoted substantially all of our resources to identify and develop next-generation brain-penetrant allosteric small molecules for the treatment of devastating diseases with high-unmet medical needs using our Magellan™ platform. Our operations have consisted primarily of expanding our operations, securing financing, performing research, conducting preclinical and clinical studies and developing and securing our in-licensed technology. To date, we do not have any product candidates approved for sale and have not generated any revenue from product sales, and as a result, we face risks associated with early-stage biotechnology companies whose product candidates are in development. We will not generate revenue from product sales unless and until we successfully complete clinical development and obtain regulatory approval for our product candidates. We expect our research and development expenses to remain significant and to increase to support progress in our research and development activities.

As of June 30, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $6.7 million. In addition, in connection with our public offering in July 2025, we received $7.1 million in net proceeds. We have incurred recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception and as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, had an accumulated deficit of $91.5 million and $81.2 million, respectively. We anticipate incurring additional losses until such time, if ever, that we can generate sales of our product candidates currently in development. We have not generated any product revenues and have not achieved profitable operations. There is no assurance that profitable operations will ever be achieved, and, if achieved, could be sustained on a continuing basis. In addition, we will need significant additional financing to fund our operations and to develop our product candidates. Our ability to continue operations after our current cash resources are exhausted depends on our ability to obtain additional financing or to achieve profitable operations, as to which no assurances can be given. Cash requirements may vary materially from those now planned because of changes in direction of our research and development programs, competitive and technical advances, patent developments, regulatory changes or other developments. If adequate additional funds are not available when required, or if we are unsuccessful in entering into partnership agreements for further development of our pipeline, management may need to curtail our development efforts and planned operations to conserve cash.

Our current operating plan indicates that we will continue to incur losses from operations and negative cash flows from operating activities. Our projected cash outflows for the upcoming periods raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for at least 12 months from the issuance of the financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. We will need to raise additional capital to fund continued operations beyond the first quarter of 2026. We plan to address our liquidity needs by taking steps to improve our operations and cash position, including identifying access to future capital and potential cost-reduction measures.

Research and development activities are central to our business model. Product candidates in later stages of clinical development generally incur higher development costs than those in earlier stages of clinical development, primarily due to the increased size and duration of later-stage clinical trials. As a result, we expect that our research and development expenses may increase in the foreseeable future as we (i) increase personnel costs, including stock-based compensation, (ii) continue preclinical development of our lead compounds, (iii) progress our clinical trials for certain product candidates, (iv) continue to discover and develop additional product candidates, and (v) pursue later stages of clinical development of product candidates.
