Current report
On July 4, 2025, President Trump signed H.R. 1, the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” (“OBBBA”) into law. The OBBBA makes permanent many of the provisions previously enacted as part of the 2017 Tax Cut and Jobs Act that were set to expire at the end of 2025 and includes other changes to certain U.S. corporate tax provisions including (i) the restoration of immediate expensing for domestic research and development expenditures, (ii) the reinstatement of 100% bonus depreciation for qualified property and (iii) favorably modifying the section 163(j) interest limitation (similar to EBITDA). FASB Topic 740, “Income Taxes”, requires the tax effects of changes in tax laws or rates be recognized in the period in which the law is enacted. The enactment of the OBBBA did not have a material impact on our effective tax rate as of September 30, 2025.

In May 2025, the Company initiated TibuSHIELD, a global Phase 2 clinical study evaluating tibulizumab in adults with moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurativa (HS). TibuSHIELD is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study designed to assess the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of tibulizumab in approximately 180 adults with moderate to severe HS across the United States, Canada and Europe. The study will evaluate tibulizumab over a 28-week period, which includes a 16-week efficacy assessment period followed by an optional open-label extension (“OLE”) and a 12-week safety follow-up. The primary endpoint of the study is the percent change from baseline in total abscess and nodule (AN) count at week 16. Secondary endpoints include the proportion of participants achieving HiSCR50 or HiSCR75, defined as at least a 50% or 75% reduction in AN count without an increase in abscesses or draining fistulas at week 16. Key safety assessments include the assessment of tolerability, and monitoring for adverse events. Topline results for the primary efficacy endpoint at week 16 are expected to be available in the third quarter of 2026.

In December 2024, we initiated TibuSURE, a global Phase 2 clinical study evaluating tibulizumab in adults with systemic sclerosis (SSc). TibuSURE is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study designed to assess the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of tibulizumab in approximately 80 participants with early diffuse cutaneous systemic sclerosis (dcSSc). The study includes a 24-week efficacy period followed by a 28-week OLE. The primary endpoint is the modified Rodnan Skin Score (mRSS). Key efficacy endpoints include lung disease, assessed by quantitative high-resolution computed tomography (qHRCT) and forced vital capacity (FVC); physical function, measured by the Health Assessment Questionnaire-Disability Index (HAQ-DI); and the revised Combined Response Index in Systemic Sclerosis (rCRISS). Topline data are expected to be available in the fourth quarter of 2026.

Crebankitug (ZB-168) is a fully human, high affinity monoclonal antibody that binds and neutralizes the interleukin-7 receptor (IL-7R) alpha chain. IL-7Rα sits at the nexus of two key immune pathways, IL-7 and thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), thus IL-7Rα has the potential to block activation through either of these pathways. As a result, we believe crebankitug could be therapeutically relevant in a broad set of indications where the IL-7 or TSLP pathways may be involved. Three Phase 1/1b clinical studies have been conducted to date. We are actively assessing the competitive landscape and evaluating potential therapeutic indications for crebankitug.

On July 14, 2025, the Company received a request from Stone Peach to exercise the Put Option pursuant to the Stone Peach Letter Agreement pursuant to which Stone Peach would sell 50% of its Series Seed Preferred Shares in Z33 for $5.0 million. Additionally, on July 23, 2025, the Company received a further request from Stone Peach to exercise the Put Right pursuant to the Stone Peach Letter Agreement pursuant to which Stone Peach would sell 50% of its Series Seed Preferred Shares in Z33 in exchange for 2,000,000 of the Company’s Class A Ordinary Shares.

We will also be responsible to Pfizer and Lilly for significant future contingent payments under the Pfizer Agreement and the Lilly Licenses upon the achievement of certain development, regulatory, and sales milestones, as well as ongoing royalties on net commercial sales. The size and timing of these milestone payments will vary greatly depending upon a number of factors, and it is therefore difficult to estimate the total payments that could become payable to Pfizer and Lilly and when those payments would be due. If we achieve all of the milestones, we would be obligated to pay multimillion dollar development and regulatory milestone payments and sales milestone payments. We will be required to pay certain of these milestone payments prior to the time at which we are able to generate sufficient revenue, if any, from commercial sales of any of our product candidates. We intend to fund these milestone payments using a portion of the proceeds from the Business Combination, the April 2023 Private Placement, the April 2024 Private Placement and sales under the ATM. In addition to milestone payments, we are also required to pay Pfizer and Lilly under the Pfizer Agreement and Lilly Licenses, respectively, ongoing royalties in the mid-single digits to low double-digits (less than 20%) percentage range based upon thresholds of net sales of products.

Net cash used in operating activities increased by $15.5 million to $27.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024.

The increase of $0.8 in non-cash charges was due to an increase of $2.0 million for share-based payment expense for the six months ended June 30, 2025, partially offset by a decrease in the change in fair value on the private placement warrants of $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
