Current report
We are a clinical-stage precision medicine oncology company focused on the discovery and development of targeted therapies for patients with biomarker-defined cancers. Our approach focuses on matching treatments to specific cancer-related genetic mutations to potentially maximize effectiveness and minimize side effects. Specifically, we develop small molecule inhibitors designed to exploit genetic mutations in cancer to widen the therapeutic window and intended to make treatments more effective at destroying cancer cells while sparing healthy tissue. We have assembled a team with extensive experience in the discovery, development, and commercialization of oncology drugs to support our mission of developing novel synthetic lethality-based cancer therapeutics.
Current report
We are targeting WEE1, a kinase that is a key regulator of multiple phases of the cell cycle. Our lead WEE1 inhibitor product candidate is APR-1051. In March 2024, our IND for APR-1051 (IND 169359) went into effect and in the second quarter of 2024 we enrolled the first patient into ACESOT-1051, our Phase 1 dose escalation study. Preliminary results provide early clinical proof-of-concept of APR-1051. A potential dose-response trend was observed, with increasing single-agent activity across the 70 mg, 100 mg, 150 mg and 220 mg cohorts. On January 29, 2026, we announced the first unconfirmed partial response (uPR) observed in a patient enrolled in the ongoing Phase 1 ACESOT-1051 dose-escalation study: a patient with PPP2R1A-mutated uterine serous carcinoma, a form of endometrial cancer, treated at the 150 mg dose level of APR-1051. At the protocol-defined 8-week first imaging assessment, the patient achieved a 50% reduction in target lesion size per RECIST v1.1 criteria, along with a marked reduction in cancer antigen 125 (CA-125) levels, from 732 to 70 U/mL. CA-125 is a well-recognized tumor marker in endometrial cancer. On March 30, 2026, we announced a confirmed partial response observed in a second patient with PPP2R1A-mutated endometrial cancer, treated at the 220 mg dose level. At the first imaging assessment the patient achieved a 50% reduction in target lesion size, along with a marked decline in CA-125 from 362 at baseline to 47 U/mL, further supporting the anti-tumor activity of APR-1051. This response was subsequently confirmed at the second image assessment, with an additional 9.5% reduction in target lesion size, and a reduction in CA-125 to 40.2U/ml (from 362 U/mL at baseline). As of April 30, 2026, we observed 6 patients with stable disease in the ongoing Phase 1 ACESOT-1051 dose escalation study. In addition, preliminary results from the ACESOT-1051 study indicate that APR-1051 has been well-tolerated to date, supporting our development strategy to differentiate WEE1 inhibition through a potentially improved therapeutic index. We are currently dosing patients in the 300mg cohort. If the 300mg cohort is deemed safe we plan to further dose patients at 400mg and will further test at 500mg, if 400mg is deemed safe. We will enroll subjects into backfill at 220mg after the 300mg cohort is fully enrolled. Backfill consists of assigning patients to dose levels below the level where the study is at and allows for the collection of additional pharmacokinetic, and response data. Our plan is to expand enrollment in ACESOT-1051 to include at least 50 patients with uterine serous carcinoma (USC), as well as patients with cyclin E-overexpressing, platinum-resistant ovarian cancer (PROC). This strategy is designed to sharpen the clinical development path for APR-1051 and provide further insight into biomarker-defined patient populations most

We are a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on precision oncology through synthetic lethality. Our approach is built upon a platform of integrated discovery technologies to enrich our pipeline with novel targets in synthetic lethality and cancer treatment. Together with our expertise in small molecule drug discovery, we are applying the capabilities of our discovery platform to the development of new precision oncology therapies and the identification of patient populations most likely to benefit.
Previous report
We are currently in discussions with leading academic centers to explore combining ATRN-119 with radiation in patients with HPV+ head and neck cancer, an indication where synergistic anti-tumor effects have been observed in preclinical data. Additional investigator-led studies evaluating ATRN-119 in combination with an I/O agent and antibody-drug conjugates, are also being explored, based on preclinical evidence that ATR inhibition can enhance anti-tumor immune responses.
Previous report
In addition to development of these drugs as single agents, we are evaluating potential expansion opportunities for our product candidates through combination with other agents such as poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors, or PARPi, where we believe a combination of therapeutic agents may enhance synthetic lethality. We are also evaluating combination opportunities within our pipeline, including research on the combination of ATRN-119 and APR-1051 that is supported by a SBIR grant from the National Cancer Institute.

On March 11, 2024, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain purchasers, or the Purchasers, pursuant to which we agreed to issue and sell to the Purchasers, and the Purchasers agreed to purchase from us (i) 1,687,712 shares of our common stock at a purchase price of $7.29 per share, (ii) pre-funded common stock purchase warrants to purchase an aggregate of up to 507,076 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.001 per share, (iii) tranche A common stock purchase warrants to purchase up to 1,097,394 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $7.29 per share, or the Tranche A Warrants, and (iv) tranche B common stock purchase warrants to purchase up to 1,097,394 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $9.1125 per share, or the Tranche B Warrants. The Tranche A Warrants will be exercisable until the earlier of (i) the three-year anniversary of issuance and (ii) 30 days after we announce the recommended Phase 2 dose for ATRN-119, and, following such announcement, the daily volume weighted average price of our common stock equals or exceeds $14.58 for 30 consecutive trading days. The Tranche B Warrants will be exercisable until the earlier of (i) the five-year anniversary of issuance and (ii) 30 days after we announce the recommended Phase 2 dose for APR-1051 and, following such announcement, the daily volume weighted average price of our common stock equals or exceeds $18.225 for 30 consecutive trading days. To the extent that the exercise of a Tranche A Warrant or Tranche B Warrant would result in the holder beneficially owning greater than 4.99% (or, at the election of the holder, greater than 9.99%) of our outstanding common stock immediately following such exercise, the holder will instead receive pre-funded warrants in substantially the same form as the pre-funded warrants issued at closing. The aggregate gross proceeds from the issuance of common stock and warrants totaled approximately $16.0 million, before deducting placement agent fees and offering costs of approximately $1.3 million, and the gross proceeds from potential future warrant cash exercises is expected to be approximately $18.0 million.

Net cash provided by financing activities of $14.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was attributable tothe net proceeds of $14.7 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and offering expenses of approximately $1.3 million, received from the sale of 1,687,712 shares of common stock, 507,076 pre-funded common stock purchase warrants, 1,097,394 tranche A common stock purchase warrants and 1,097,394 tranche B common stock purchase warrants in March 2024.
Previous report
As of September 30, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $13.7 million. We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents will not enable us to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements through at least twelve months from the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements. Therefore, we have concluded that substantial doubt exists about our ability to continue as a going concern.

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) or other standard setting bodies that we adopt as of the specified effective date.
Previous report
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures: Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses,” which requires disclosure of disaggregated information about specific categories underlying certain income statement expense line items in the footnotes to the financial statements for both annual and interim periods. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard.
Previous report
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (ASC 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures”, which requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2025, which will expand the Company’s disclosures beginning with its annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, but is not expected to have an impact on the consolidated financial results.

Previous wording
We believe that synthetic lethality has the potential to impact patients’ lives and treatment strategies for a wide range of cancer types. We aspire to become a leader in this emerging field and are establishing a pipeline of clinical and preclinical programs that we believe may have broad applications to cancer treatment.
Current wording
We believe that precision medicine has the potential to impact patients’ lives in a wide range of cancer types. Genomic instability is the hallmark of cancer. When a gene pathway is damaged or fails, related genes make up for its loss of function. Our approach is to inhibit these make up genes, thereby specifically killing cancer cells with defined mutations. This approach is called synthetic lethality. Using synthetic lethality, our product candidates are designed to selectively kill cancer cells while minimizing the effect on normal, unmutated cells, decreasing the toxicity usually associated with cancer treatment. We aspire to become a leader in this emerging field and are establishing a pipeline of clinical and preclinical programs that we believe may have broad applications to cancer treatment.
Previous wording
We are targeting WEE1, a kinase that is a key regulator of multiple phases of the cell cycle. Our lead WEE1 inhibitor product candidate is APR-1051. In March 2024, the FDA cleared our IND application for APR-1051 and in the second quarter of 2024 we enrolled the first patient into ACESOT-1051, our Phase 1 dose escalation study. Given the encouraging tolerability profile to date, we are in a position to accelerate dose escalation and explore higher doses, potentially improving APR-1051 therapeutic impact. We anticipate open-label safety/efficacy data to be available in the first quarter of 2026 and expect to complete dose-escalation in the first half of 2026.

On October 15, 2025, we determined the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of 1,100 mg once daily for ATRN-119 in the monotherapy arm of the ongoing ABOYA-119 Phase 1/2a dose-escalation study, in patients with advanced solid tumors. Building on the completion of dose escalation and supported by new preclinical data suggesting potential synergistic anti-tumor effects, we are considering further ATRN-119 development in combination approaches that could expand its therapeutic potential. We believe ATRN-119's mechanism of action, favorable safety profile, and pharmacologic characteristics make it an ideal candidate for combination with other anti-cancer therapies, including radiation therapy, antibody-drug conjugates and immune checkpoint inhibitors. As part of this strategic focus, we voluntarily paused further enrollment in both once daily and twice daily monotherapy dosing arms of ABOYA-119.
Current wording
Our second clinical-stage synthetic lethality product candidate is ATRN-119, an oral small molecule inhibitor of ataxia telangiectasia and Rad3-related, or ATR. The ATR kinase is a master regulator of the DNA damage response, with key roles in cell cycle control and DNA repair following replication stress. We have developed ATRN-119, the first oral macrocyclic ATR inhibitor to enter clinical trials. On October 15, 2025, we determined the recommended Phase 2 monotherapy dose (RP2D) of 1,100 mg once daily for ATRN-119 in the ABOYA-119 Phase 1/2a dose-escalation study, in patients with advanced solid tumors. Building on the completion of dose escalation, we are considering further ATRN-119 development in combination approaches that could expand its therapeutic potential.

In addition, we also have an early preclinical research program, which is currently in the lead optimization stage, for an undisclosed DDR target. We do not currently have any ongoing preclinical studies or clinical trials involving our reactivators of mutant p53 and our primary focus is on the discovery and development of molecules targeting DDR pathways in oncology through synthetic lethality.
Current wording
We do not currently have any ongoing clinical trials involving our reactivator of mutant p53, APR-246.

Our revenue is primarily generated through grants from government and non-government organizations. Grant revenue is recognized during the period that the research and development services occur, as qualifying expenses are incurred or conditions of the grants are met. Associated expenses are recognized when incurred as research and development expense. We concluded that payments received under these grants represent conditional, nonreciprocal contributions, as described in ASC 958,* Not-*for-Profit Entities, and that the grants are not within the scope of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, as the organizations providing the grants do not meet the definition of a customer.

Research and development activities are central to our business model. Product candidates in later stages of clinical development generally have higher development costs than those in earlier stages of clinical development, primarily due to the increased size and duration of later-stage clinical trials. We expect that our research and development expenses will continue to increase for the foreseeable future as we progress clinical trials for APR-1051 and ATRN-119, for which new patient enrollment is currently paused.

Previous wording
We base our expenses related to preclinical studies and clinical trials on our estimates of the services received and efforts expended pursuant to quotes and contracts with CROs that conduct and manage preclinical studies and clinical trials on our behalf. The financial terms of these agreements are subject to negotiation, vary from contract to contract and may result in uneven payment flows. There may be instances in which payments made to our vendors will exceed the level of services provided and result in a prepayment of the expense. Payments under some of these contracts are fee for service or depend on factors such as the successful enrollment of patients and the completion of clinical trial milestones. In accruing fees, we estimate the time period over which services will be performed, and multiple factors including enrollment of patients, number of sites activated and the level of effort to be expended in each period. If the actual timing of the performance of services or the level of effort varies from our estimate, we adjust the accrual or amount of prepaid expense accordingly. Although we do not expect our estimates to be materially different from amounts actually incurred, our understanding of the status and timing of services performed relative to the actual status and timing of services performed may vary and may result in us reporting amounts that are too high or too low in any particular period. To date, we have not made any material adjustments to our prior estimates of accrued research and development expenses.

Since our inception, we have incurred significant losses on an aggregate basis. We have not yet commercialized any of our product candidates, which are in various phases of preclinical and clinical development, and we do not expect to generate revenue from sales of any products for several years, if at all. Our ability to generate product revenue sufficient to achieve profitability will depend on the successful development and eventual commercialization of one or more of our product candidates. Since 2019, our primary source of funds has been from the public sales of our common stock. As of September 30, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $13.7 million. We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents will not enable us to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements through at least twelve months from the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements.
