PSVT Continued Development Highlights
Current report
In November 2025, we submitted our marketing authorization application, or “MAA,” to the European Medicines Agency, or “EMA,” for review for approval to market etripamil nasal spray, under the trade name TACHYMISTTM, in the European Union. The MAA utilizes much of the clinical, manufacturing and quality data package that was submitted in the NDA which led to the US FDA approval.
Current report
On March 23, 2026, Corxel announced that it had entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Everest Medicines, or “Everest”, a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development, manufacturing, and commercialization of pharmaceutical products and vaccines, with an established commercial infrastructure in Greater China. Pursuant to that Asset Purchase Agreement, Everest acquired the rights to develop, manufacture, and commercialize CARDAMYST™ (etripamil) nasal spray in Greater China, including mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan.
Current report
We have initiated a Phase 3 registrational program to evaluate self-administered etripamil as a potential treatment for patients with AFib-RVR and are currently onboarding clinical sites. We expect to enroll the first patient in the trial in the second half of 2026. We intend to follow the supplemental New Drug Application, or “sNDA,” regulatory approval pathway and expect to leverage the initial PSVT indication and its safety database along with the results from the planned single Phase 3 study in AFib-RVR.

Product Revenue
Current report
On January 26, 2026, CARDAMYST (etripamil) nasal spray for the management of PSVT became available in the United States through retail pharmacies and our national sales force was deployed mid-February 2026. We initiated shipments of CARDAMYST to customers in the United States, which include major wholesalers, in January 2026. We recognize revenue for products received by our customers net of allowances for customer discounts, service fees, estimated returns, and estimated rebates. Product revenues were $0.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026. We earned no product revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Cost of product sales
Current report
Cost of product sales includes the costs of producing inventory related to CARDAMYST including manufacturing, freight, overhead, and any inventory valuation adjustments. Cost of product sales is recognized in the period in which the related product revenue is earned.
Current report
Prior to FDA approval on December 12, 2025, all manufacturing costs for CARDAMYST were expensed as research and development costs. As a result, inventory on hand at the time of approval had a zero-cost basis.
Current report
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, we recognized a de minimis amount of cost of product sales, consisting primarily of post-approval manufacturing activities, including final packaging costs. Accordingly, cost of product sales does not reflect the full cost of units sold, and gross margin is not representative of our expected long-term cost structure. We expect cost of product sales to increase in future periods as we sell inventory manufactured after FDA approval. We recorded no cost of product sales for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

License Revenue
Current report
Interest income was $1.7 million and $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The increase in interest income was primarily due to higher average cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investment balances during the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, driven by proceeds from the July 2025 underwritten public offering, or the “2025 Offering,” and the purchase and sale agreement, or the “Royalty Purchase Agreement.”
Current report
Interest expense increased by $3.2 million, or 342.3%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, primarily a result of $3.1 million of interest expense recognized on the royalty financing obligation during the three months ended March 31, 2026 (see Note 11, “Royalty Financing Obligation” in the accompanying notes to our interim condensed consolidated financial statements).
Current report
During the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, 5,666,666 Series A Common Warrants were exercised for net proceeds of $8.0 million, after deducting underwriting commissions paid and payable of $0.5 million.

c) Gross-to-net revenue adjustments
Current report
Net revenue from sales of CARDAMYST is recorded at net selling price (transaction price), which includes reserves for variable consideration such as (i) estimated government rebates, such as Medicaid and Medicare Part D reimbursements, and estimated managed care rebates, (ii) estimated chargebacks, (iii) estimated costs of co-payment assistance programs, and (iv) estimated product returns. These reserves, representing our best estimates of the amount of consideration to which we are entitled based on the terms of the applicable contracts and statutory requirements, are based on the amounts earned or to be claimed on the related sales and are classified as reductions of accounts receivable if no payments are required of us or a current liability if a payment is required of us. Actual amounts of consideration may differ from our estimates. If actual results vary from estimates, these estimates are adjusted, which would affect net product revenue and earnings in the period such variances become known.
Current report
d) Royalty financing obligation
Current report
Our accounting for our royalty financing obligation involves significant judgment and estimates and is therefore considered a critical accounting estimate. The obligation is accounted for as debt and measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. At inception, and in subsequent periods, the carrying value of the royalty financing obligation and the related interest expense depend on estimates of the timing and amount of future royalty payments expected to be generated from product sales over the life of the arrangement, as well as the expected repayment term. These estimates are used to determine the effective interest rate applied to accrete the obligation over time.
Current report
The estimation of future royalty payments is inherently uncertain and requires management judgment regarding key assumptions, including expected future net product sales, the timing of commercial production, and the duration of the underlying patent subject to the royalty. Actual royalty payments may differ materially from management’s estimates due to changes in production levels, operational performance, or other factors beyond our control.
Current report
Changes in the estimated amount or timing of future royalty payments result in a prospective adjustment to the effective interest rate and the pattern of interest expense recognized over the remaining term of the obligation. As a result, revisions to these estimates could have a material impact on future interest expense and the carrying value of the royalty financing obligation. We periodically review and update our estimates based on available information; however, actual results may differ materially from those estimates.

We are currently focused on obtaining marketing approval of CARDAMYST for the treatment of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia, or “PSVT,” from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or “FDA.” In March 2025, we announced that we received a Complete Response Letter, or “CRL,” regarding our New Drug Application, or “NDA,” for CARDAMYST (etripamil) nasal spray for the treatment of PSVT. On June 13, 2025, we submitted our response to the FDA’s CRL, which was accepted. With the acceptance the FDA issued a Prescription Drug User Fee Act, or “PDUFA,” target date of December 13, 2025. See “New Drug Application Status”* *below for additional details surrounding the status of the NDA.
Previous report
We are preparing to advance etripamil into a Phase 3 program in atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular rate (AFib-RVR), following the successful ReVeRA Phase 2 trial. Incorporating FDA’s guidance, we have developed a Phase 3 registrational program to evaluate self-administered etripamil as a potential treatment for patients with AFib-RVR. We will pursue an sNDA regulatory approval pathway for a potential second indication for etripamil in Afib-RVR. As such we will leverage the anticipated PSVT indication and PSVT program data, along with a single pivotal Phase 3 study in patients with AFib-RVR.

New Drug Application Status
Previous report
In March 2025, we announced that we received a CRL regarding our NDA for CARDAMYST (etripamil) nasal spray for the treatment of PSVT. Within the CRL, the FDA did not raise any concerns regarding clinical safety or efficacy. The FDA highlighted two key Chemistry, Manufacturing and Controls, or “CMC,” issues to be addressed. The FDA requested that we submit additional information on nitrosamine impurities based on new draft guidance issued after the NDA submission. Secondly, the FDA stated that an inspection is required at a facility listed in the NDA, to ensure it is in compliance with Current Good Manufacturing Practices. The facility mentioned previously performed a portion of the testing required to release etripamil final product, but changed ownership during the review of the NDA. On June 13,

PSVT Clinical Development Highlights
Previous report
In April 2024, we announced new clinical data demonstrating real-world application of etripamil, an investigational new drug, for conversion of recurrent PSVT. Conducted in North and South America, an open label, Phase 3 study of etripamil in PSVT (the NODE-303 study) was presented at The American College of Cardiology Scientific Sessions. NODE-303 evaluated self-administered etripamil (70 mg, nasal spray) in an outpatient setting for up to four episodes of PSVT per patient. Other key characteristics of the NODE-303 study that distinguish the study from earlier Phase 3 studies, include the removal of the in-office test dose as well as the use of a broader inclusion exclusion study entry criteria. For example, NODE-303 did not exclude patients with a history of co-morbid AFib or atrial flutter. The results demonstrated that symptom-prompted treatment with etripamil restored sinus rhythm with a median time-to-conversion of 17 minutes and was generally well tolerated. The conversion of PSVT to sinus rhythm was similar among multiple episodes of PSVT and the frequency of treatment-emergent adverse events within 24 hours decreased with successively treated episodes. Adverse events, or “AEs,” were predominantly localized to the drug’s nasal administration site, consistent with prior trial findings. The protocol was amended during the trial to allow for a repeat dose of drug if symptoms persisted 10 minutes following the first dose, however most of the clinical trial was conducted prior to the amendment and used the 70 mg single dose. Efficacy of etripamil for PSVT conversion (restoration of sinus rhythm) in NODE-303 was 60.0% by 30 minutes after drug self-administration, and 69.9% by 60 minutes after drug self-administration; these rates of conversion are similar to those demonstrated in double-blinded and other open-label etripamil studies. This data supports a potentially significant shift in the management approach for recurrent PSVT.
Previous report
In October 2022, we announced positive and statistically significant topline efficacy and safety data from the Phase 3 RAPID clinical trial of etripamil in patients with PSVT. These results were further presented shortly thereafter, in November 2022, as a Late-Breaking Clinical Trial Session at the American Heart Association Scientific Sessions 2022 (Chicago, IL) and subsequently published inThe Lancet (June 2023). RAPID, our multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, event-driven Phase 3 trial, enrolled 706 patients across clinical sites in North America and Europe. Patients were randomized 1:1 to a regimen of self-administering a first dose etripamil nasal spray, with a repeat dose 10 minutes later if symptoms persisted, or a matching placebo regimen. Self-administration was prompted by a patient’s customary symptoms and was performed in the at-home setting without medical supervision. The RAPID trial achieved its primary endpoint, with patients taking the regimen with etripamil demonstrating a highly statistically significant and clinically meaningful difference in time to SVT conversion as compared to placebo. A Kaplan Meier analysis demonstrated a significantly greater proportion of patients who took etripamil converted within thirty minutes compared to placebo (64.3% vs. 31.2%; hazard ratio, or “HR,” 2.62; 95% CI 1.66, 4.15; p<0.001). By 90 minutes post-study drug administration, 80.6% of etripamil patients converted versus 60.7% of placebo patients (HR = 1.93; 95% CI 1.349, 2.752; p<0.001) and statistical significance was maintained throughout the 5-hour observation window. Statistically significant reductions in time to conversion in patients who took etripamil were evident early and persisted throughout the observation window of the study compared to placebo. The median time to conversion for patients in RAPID who self-administered etripamil was 17.2 minutes compared to 53.3 minutes for patients on placebo. The safety and tolerability data from the RAPID trial continues to support the potential self-administration use of etripamil, with findings consistent with those observed in prior trials. The most common randomized-treatment emergent adverse events, or “RTEAEs,” and AEs which occurred within 24 hours of administration of etripamil, were related to the nasal local administration site. Overall, the majority of RTEAEs were reported as mild (68%) or moderate (31%). There were no serious AEs related to etripamil.
Previous report
The use of additional medical interventions and visits to an emergency department were important secondary measures of efficacy for both the RAPID and NODE-301 studies, although with the understanding that neither study was individually powered to expect statistical differences. In a pre-planned analysis across both studies, patients who self-administered etripamil sought additional medical interventions 43% less frequently (15% vs. 25%; p=0.013) and had 39% fewer emergency department visits (14% vs. 22%; p=0.035) than patients in the placebo arm.
Previous report
In March 2023, we completed NODE-303, a Phase 3, multi-center, open-label safety trial, evaluating the safety of etripamil when self-administered without medical supervision over multiple, separate episodes of SVT. Data from the completed NODE-303 open-label safety and RAPID extension studies are included in the PSVT NDA submission for etripamil to the FDA.

Research and development expenses, net of tax credits, remained consistent for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024.
Previous report
Research and development expenses, net of tax credits, increased by $2.2 million, or 20.8%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase was primarily due to higher consulting and outside service costs. These higher costs were partially offset by lower personnel-related costs.

Interest income was $0.9 million and $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Interest income was $2.1 million and $3.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The decrease in interest income was due to decreasing interest rates and less assets invested in 2025 when compared to 2024.

We are a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of innovative cardiovascular medicines. Our objective is to commercialize and develop CARDAMYST (also known as etripamil) in the United States as a fast-acting, portable nasal spray treatment for use by patients anywhere, anytime an attack of supraventricular tachycardia, or “SVT” occurs. We are also developing etripamil for the indication of atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular rate, or “AFib-RVR.”

disease, or dehydration. The uncertainty of when such an attack of PSVT will strike or how long it will persist is often anxiety-provoking, reducing patients’ quality of life and preventing participation in many desired activities. Drugs approved for the treatment of attacks of PSVT include adenosine, verapamil, and diltiazem, with all being administered intravenously under medical supervision, usually in the emergency department. Other oral drugs are sometimes used to treat attacks in a concept called “pill in the pocket.” However, those drugs have never been proven effective or safe and are not approved for this use. Doctors are often frustrated by the lack of effective treatment options besides a prolonged, unpleasant, and costly trip to the emergency department or, for some patients, an invasive ablation procedure. PSVT can be traumatic for patients, frustrating for healthcare providers, and costly for payors. With no pharmaceutical innovation in the treatment of PSVT for more than 30 years and a movement in the healthcare system to enable patient-centered care, we believe there is an opportunity to help patients living with PSVT to take greater control over their PSVT.
Current wording
On December 12, 2025, we announced the FDA approved our first commercial product, CARDAMYST™ (etripamil) nasal spray, a prescription medication for the conversion of acute symptomatic episodes of PSVT to sinus rhythm in adults. We have currently begun focusing on the commercialization of CARDAMYST, which became available in retail pharmacies in the first quarter of 2026. PSVT is a condition that causes a patient’s heart to suddenly start beating faster than normal. It can be life-altering as PSVT is highly symptomatic, characterized by unpredictable attacks of a racing heart, often exceeding 150 beats per minute. Symptoms of PSVT arise suddenly and may include palpitations, sweating, chest pressure or pain, shortness of breath, sudden onset of fatigue, lightheadedness or dizziness, fainting, and anxiety, causing many patients to interrupt their daily activities at the time of symptom-onset. The impact and morbidity from an episode of PSVT can be especially detrimental in patients with underlying cardiovascular or medical conditions, such as heart failure, obstructive coronary disease, or dehydration. The uncertainty of when such an attack of PSVT will strike or how long it will persist is often anxiety-provoking, reducing patients’ quality of life and preventing participation in many desired activities. Drugs approved for the treatment of attacks of PSVT include adenosine, verapamil, and diltiazem, with all being administered intravenously under medical supervision, usually in the emergency department. Other oral drugs are sometimes used to treat attacks in a concept called “pill in the pocket.” However, those drugs have never been proven effective or safe and are not approved for this use. Doctors are often frustrated by the limited effective treatment options with the only approved options involving prolonged, unpleasant, and costly trips to the emergency department or, for some patients, an invasive ablation procedure. PSVT can be traumatic for patients, frustrating for healthcare providers, and costly for payors. With no pharmaceutical innovation in the treatment of PSVT for more than 30 years and a movement in the healthcare system to enable patient-centered care, we believe there is an opportunity to help patients living with PSVT to take greater control over their PSVT.
Previous wording
We believe that PSVT is a large and under-recognized market which we estimate affects more than two million Americans. From this diagnosed population, we define the immediate target addressable market for CARDAMYST as approximately 70% of patients who are actively managed by clinical cardiologists, interventional cardiologists and electrophysiologists. The remaining patients with PSVT can become addressable over time, as they are inconsistently managed (cycling in and out of the healthcare system) and/or being managed less frequently by primary care healthcare providers. Furthermore, PSVT is expected to increase in diagnosed prevalence in coming years as wearable electrocardiogram, or “ECG,” technology (e.g., smartphone, watches) becomes both more adept at diagnosing PSVT and more widely used by patients and clinical practitioners, in turn shortening the time to diagnosis.

Following the release of data from the RAPID clinical study in market research, cardiologists reported a willingness to prescribe CARDAMYST to approximately 50% of the patients with PSVT in their care, which suggests approximately 500,000 to 800,000 patients can potentially be treated with CARDAMYST in peak years of utilization. Additionally, we believe that this cardiology-identified group of patients may use CARDAMYST to treat a median of three to five episodes per year, based on the projected number of self-reported longer and more intense episodes experienced by patients, as well as the patient utilization experience in our Phase 3 clinical trials. This implies a peak demand potential in the United States for CARDAMYST of 2.5 million to 4 million episodes treated per year.

Current treatment for PSVT also consumes significant healthcare resources. Research published in the American Journal of Cardiology in 2020 shows that total healthcare expenditures in the year following a diagnosis of PSVT ranged from $20,000 to $30,000 per patient which were significantly higher than the expenditures observed for patients without PSVT. These significant increases included increased emergency department visits and hospitalization costs. Of note, catheter ablations following diagnosis represented only 23% of this increased spend, meaning most costs were unrelated to ablations. Recent data from the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP) database indicate that in 2019 there were approximately 140,000 emergency department, or “ED,” visits for PSVT when coded (for billing) in the primary diagnostic position, and a total of approximately 525,000 ED visits when PSVT was coded in any diagnostic position. Of these, approximately 25% of ED admissions for PSVT resulted in a hospital admission. HCUP estimates a total of approximately 40,000 to approximately 120,000 inpatient admissions for PSVT in 2019 (based again if a PSVT billing code was found in the primary v. any diagnostic position). Despite the effectiveness of catheter ablation, claims data suggests that only approximately 15% of patients with PSVT are ablated over a three-year period, leading to a total of approximately 100,000 catheter ablations annually. In total, at least $5 billion is spent annually in the United States on the management of PSVT.

In January 2025, our licensing partner, Corxel Pharmaceuticals, or “Corxel,” formerly Ji Xing Pharmaceuticals Limited, JIXING, announced that the Center for Drug Evaluation, or “CDE,” of the National Medical Products Administration, or “NMPA,” of the People’s Republic of China has accepted the New Drug Application, or “NDA,” for etripamil nasal spray for the treatment of PSVT. The NDA to the NMPA included data from the successful Phase 3 JX02002 clinical trial of etripamil nasal spray in patients with PSVT in China in addition to data included in the NDA that Milestone submitted to the FDA.
Previous wording
The 500-patient Phase 3 trial (JX02002) met its primary endpoint, with a Kaplan Meier analysis shows a statistically significantly greater proportion of patients who self-administered etripamil converted from PSVT to sinus rhythm within 30 minutes compared to placebo (40.5% vs. 15.9%, respectively; hazard ratio [HR] = 3.00; 95% CI 1.58-5.71; p<0.001). Statistically significant (p<0.05) results were also shown for the secondary efficacy endpoints for percent of patients’ PSVT converted to sinus rhythm by 10, 15, 45 and 60 minutes after self-administration of study drug.

Etripamil Nasal Spray for the Treatment of AFib-RVR
Previous wording
We are also developing etripamil nasal spray for a subsequent indication to treat patients with AFib-RVR. Similar to our approach for PSVT, we believe that etripamil has the potential to help the person experiencing a symptomatic episode of AFib-RVR to self-treat themselves and to conveniently, reliably, and quickly, reduce their elevated heart rate, with the goal of reducing the need for emergency department utilization. We completed a successful Phase 2 study in patients presenting urgently with AFib-RVR, i.e., to an emergency department. We publicly presented these positive Phase 2 data in November 2023, which demonstrated that patients receiving etripamil nasal spray experienced rapid and statistically superior ventricular rate reduction and improved symptom-relief compared to placebo, with safety and tolerability findings generally consistent with those observed in our PSVT program. These data support the continued development of etripamil, self-administered in the medically unmonitored setting, for the treatment of AFib-RVR.

beta blocker or calcium channel blocker. These treatments can be given intravenously; however, this requires a burdensome trip to an emergency department which may lead to a hospital admission. Acute treatment can be attempted by administration of an oral rate control drug; however, such drugs do not adequately provide immediate or adequate ventricular rate control due to a 30- to 90-minute delayed onset of action, and, as a result, many patients need faster and more certain rate-reduction and symptom-resolution and so seek acute-medical care by going to the emergency department for treatment utilizing intravenous rate control and/or electrical cardioversion of their atrial fibrillation. Furthermore, the chronic administration of oral rate-control drugs does not broadly prevent episodes of AFib-RVR. Similar to PSVT, patients may feel a loss of control by needing to visit the emergency department for overcoming their AFib-RVR episode and the unpredictable nature of these episodes, which can occur anytime and anywhere. Doctors have expressed frustration at the lack of options for patients to self-manage these acute rate attacks; and payor organizations would prefer to treat the AFib-RVR attacks in a more cost effective and time-efficient manner.
Current wording
Atrial Fibrillation, or “AFib,” is a common cardiac arrhythmia with an irregular and often rapid heart rate that is often markedly symptomatic and, without proper treatment, can increase the risk of stroke, heart failure, and other cardiovascular complications. A common complication of AFib is a rapid heart rate, also referred to as AFib-RVR, which is frequently defined as a heart rate ≥ 110 beats per minute. The occurrence of a rapid ventricular rate, or “RVR,” in patients with atrial fibrillation increases the likelihood of marked symptoms including heart palpitations, shortness of breath and weakness. There are two commonly used pharmacological approaches to chronically manage AFib, rhythm control and rate control. Regardless of the chronic approach, break-through episodes of rapid heart rate occur frequently; and when faced with a sudden episode of AFib-RVR, acute rate control is needed, with most treatments being AV-nodal targeted drugs such as a beta blocker or calcium channel blocker. These treatments can be given intravenously; however, this requires a burdensome trip to an emergency department which may lead to a hospital admission. Acute treatment can be attempted with an oral rate-control drug; however, such agents often fail to provide immediate or dependable ventricular rate control because they have a 30- to 90-minute delayed onset of action. As a result, many patients require faster and more reliable rate reduction and symptom resolution, leading them to seek acute medical care in the emergency department for intravenous rate control and/or electrical cardioversion of their atrial fibrillation. Furthermore, the chronic administration of oral rate-control drugs does not broadly prevent episodes of AFib-RVR. Similar to PSVT, patients may feel a loss of control by needing to visit the emergency department for overcoming their AFib-RVR episode and the unpredictable nature of these episodes, which can occur anytime and anywhere. Doctors have expressed frustration at the lack of options for patients to self-manage these acute rate attacks; and payor organizations would prefer to treat the AFib-RVR attacks in a more cost effective and time-efficient manner.
Previous wording
An estimated 10 million Americans suffer from AFib. The prevalence of AFib is expected to grow to greater than 12 million by 2030. A subset of patients with AFib experiences episodes of abnormally high heart rate, most often accompanied by palpitations, shortness of breath, dizziness, and weakness. While these episodes, known as AFib-RVR, may be treated by oral calcium channel blockers and/or beta blockers, patients frequently seek acute care in the ED to address symptoms. In 2019, nearly 1.1 million patients were admitted to the ED due to AFib symptoms. Initial data suggests that approximately 60% of all AFib ED visits were attributable to AFib-RVR, as symptoms driving patients to seek care generally become more pronounced at higher heart rates. Treatment for such symptoms typically includes medically supervised intravenous administration of calcium channel blockers or beta blockers, or electrical cardioversion. With little available data for AFib-RVR, we believe, based on our initial market research, that 30% to 40% of patients with AFib experience one or more symptomatic episodes of RVR per year that require treatment, suggesting a target addressable market of up to approximately four to five million patients by 2030 for etripamil in patients with AFib-RVR.

We believe that etripamil has the potential to be developed such that it can be used by patients to rapidly reduce their heart rate at home, self-administered, to provide a supplemental option to either the acute oral rate or rhythm control strategy their physician would use. When presented with a target product profile reflecting this potential use case, cardiologists and electrophysiologists in a 2021 market research study perceived utility in the product profile and indicated that they would prescribe to approximately 67% of their patients that experience episodes of AFib-RVR. They further indicated that a rapidly-acting intranasal calcium channel blocker could serve as a “bridge” to the longer onset times of acute oral agents. According to physicians, it can take hours for patients to feel an alleviation of symptoms using acute oral rate or rhythm control. During this time, patients may experience concerning symptoms that often prompt them to seek emergency care. We believe that the combination of convenient delivery, potency, rapid onset and short duration of action of etripamil has the potential to move the current treatment setting for some acute episodes of AFib out of the burdensome and costly emergency department.

The Phase 3 study’s target population will be patients with verified history of AFib-RVR, and the ITT population will be all patients self-administering the study drug for perceived AFib-RVR. The primary endpoint is the mean change from baseline ventricular rate to nadir ventricular rate for patients treated with etripamil versus placebo, as was studied in the ReVeRA trial in AFib-RVR. The key secondary endpoint will be based on a PRO of symptomatic improvement, discussed with the FDA, which is similar to the PRO questions utilized in our PSVT and AFib-RVR programs. The study has been powered and sized based upon approximately 150 events from 150 unique patients with a history of symptomatic episodes of AFib-RVR.

On July 29, 2020, we entered into an Open Market Sale Agreement SM, or the “Original Sale Agreement,” with respect to an at-the-market offering program, or the “ATM Program,” under which we could issue and sell our common shares having an aggregate offering price of up to $50.0 million through Jefferies LLC, or “Jefferies,” as sales agent or principal. On March 18, 2025, we entered into an Amended and Restated Open Market Sale Agreement SM, or the “Amended Agreement,” with Jefferies. The Amended Agreement amends and restates, in its entirety, the Original Sale Agreement. Under the Amended Agreement, we were able to sell our common shares, no par value per share, for an aggregate offering price of up to $77.8 million (which includes the $2.8 million of sales previously made pursuant to the Original Sale Agreement through the date the Amended Agreement was entered into), or the “ATM Shares.” The ATM Shares will be sold pursuant to our shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-283162). We previously issued 361,236 common shares under the Original Sale Agreement, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $2.6 million (net of issuance costs of approximately $0.1 million). We issued 5,526,590 shares under the amended agreement resulting in net proceeds of $10.9 million, after deducting sales agent commissions payable by us of $0.3 million during the three-month period ended March 31, 2026. On March 6, 2026, we terminated the Amended Agreement.

We believe there are currently no events or conditions that may cast substantial doubt on our ability to continue as a going concern for at least the next 12 months from the date of this filing.
Previous wording
On March 27, 2023, we entered into a purchase and sale agreement, as amended, or the “Royalty Purchase Agreement.” Pursuant to the Royalty Purchase Agreement, as amended in July 2025 to extend the marketing approval deadline for etripamil to December 31, 2025, following the FDA approval of etripamil on or prior to December 31, 2025 (subject to certain conditions), in exchange for a purchase price of $75.0 million, the right to receive a tiered quarterly royalty payments, or “royalty interest,” on the annual net product sales of etripamil in the United States.
Current wording
On March 27, 2023, we entered into the Royalty Purchase Agreement with RTW Royalty I DAC, an affiliate of RTW Investments, LP, or “RTW,” pursuant to which RTW agreed to purchase, following U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval of etripamil for the treatment of PSVT (subject to certain conditions), at a purchase price of $75.0 million, the right to receive tiered quarterly royalty payments, or the “royalty interest,” on net product sales of CARDAMYST (etripamil) in the United States.
Previous wording
We use our cash primarily to fund research and development and pre-commercial expenditures. We expect our research and development expenses to continue commensurate with the development and commercialization of etripamil. We expect to continue to incur operating losses for the foreseeable future as we continue the clinical development of our product candidate. At this time, due to the inherently unpredictable nature of clinical development, we cannot reasonably estimate the costs we will incur and the timelines that will be required to complete development, obtain marketing approval, and commercialize etripamil or any future product candidates, if at all. For the same reasons, we are also unable to predict when, if ever, we will generate revenue from product sales or whether, or when, if ever, we may achieve profitability. Clinical and preclinical development timelines, the probability of success, and development costs can differ materially from expectations.
Current wording
the infrastructure, personnel, and operational expenses required to commercialize CARDAMYST in the United States. We expect to incur increasing operating losses for the foreseeable future as we continue the clinical development of subsequent etripamil indications or any future product candidates. At this time, due to the inherently unpredictable nature of clinical development, we cannot reasonably estimate the costs we will incur and the timelines that will be required to complete development, obtain marketing approval, and commercialize subsequent etripamil indications or any future product candidates, if at all. For the same reasons, we are also unable to predict when, if ever, we may achieve profitability generated from product sales. Clinical and preclinical development timelines, the probability of success, and development costs can differ materially from expectations.
Previous wording
In addition, we have exclusive development and commercialization rights for etripamil for all indications that we may pursue and as such have the potential to license development and or commercialization rights for etripamil to a potential partner in regions outside of Greater China. We plan to establish commercialization and marketing capabilities using a direct sales force to commercialize etripamil in the United States. Outside of the United States, we are considering commercialization strategies that may include collaborations with other companies.

We believe that PSVT is a large and under-recognized market which we estimate affects more than two million Americans. From this diagnosed population, we define the immediate target addressable market for CARDAMYST as approximately 50% of patients with PSVT who have sufficient disease burden that they are compelled to seek care for their condition and are primarily managed by approximately 40,000 healthcare providers composed primarily of clinical cardiologists, interventional cardiologists and electrophysiologists. The remaining patients with PSVT can become addressable over

symptoms typically includes medically supervised intravenous administration of calcium channel blockers or beta blockers, or electrical cardioversion. With little available data for AFib-RVR, we believe, based on our initial market research, that 30% to 40% of patients with AFib experience one or more symptomatic episodes of RVR per year that require treatment, suggesting a current target addressable market of approximately three to four million patients for etripamil in patients with AFib-RVR.

PSVT is a condition that causes a patient’s heart to suddenly start beating faster than normal. It can be life-altering as PSVT is highly symptomatic, characterized by unpredictable attacks of a racing heart, often exceeding 150 beats per minute. Symptoms of PSVT arise suddenly and may include palpitations, sweating, chest pressure or pain, shortness of breath, sudden onset of fatigue, lightheadedness or dizziness, fainting, and anxiety, causing many patients to interrupt their daily activities at the time of symptom-onset. The impact and morbidity from an episode of PSVT can be especially detrimental in patients with underlying cardiovascular or medical conditions, such as heart failure, obstructive coronary

Atrial Fibrillation, or “AFib,” is a common cardiac arrhythmia with an irregular and often rapid heart rate that is often markedly symptomatic and, without proper treatment, can increase the risk of stroke, heart failure, and other cardiovascular complications. A common complication of AFib is a rapid heart rate, also referred to as AFib-RVR, which is frequently defined as a heart rate ≥ 110 beats per minute. The occurrence of a rapid ventricular rate, or “RVR,” in patients with atrial fibrillation increases the likelihood of marked symptoms including heart palpitations, shortness of breath and weakness. There are two commonly used pharmacological approaches to chronically manage AFib, rhythm control and rate control. Regardless of the chronic approach, break-through episodes of rapid heart rate occur frequently; and when faced with a sudden episode of AFib-RVR, acute rate control is needed, with most treatments being AV-nodal targeted drugs such as a

Commercial expenses increased by $13.5 million, or 204.8%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024. This increase is primarily a result of additional personnel costs, professional costs and other operational expenses related to preparation for the launch of CARDAMYST.
