We are a biotechnology company focused on the development of emavusertib (CA-4948), an orally available, small molecule inhibitor of Interleukin-1 receptor associated kinase, or IRAK4. Emavusertib is currently being evaluated in the TakeAim Lymphoma Phase 1/2 study (CA-4948-101) in patients with relapsed/refractory primary central nervous system lymphoma, or PCNSL, in combination with the BTK inhibitor ibrutinib, as a monotherapy in the TakeAim Leukemia Phase 1/2 study (CA-4948-102) in patients with relapsed/refractory, or R/R, acute myeloid leukemia, or AML, and R/R high risk myelodysplastic syndrome, or hrMDS, and as a frontline combination therapy with venetoclax and azacitidine in patents with AML (CA-4948-104). Emavusertib has received Orphan Drug Designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of PCNSL, AML and MDS and from the European Commission for the treatment of PCNSL. We, through our 2015 collaboration with Aurigene Discovery Technologies Limited, have the exclusive license to emavusertib (CA-4948). We licensed our rights to Erivedge® to Genentech, a member of the Roche Group, under which Genentech is commercializing Erivedge® for the treatment of advanced basal cell carcinoma.

Previous wording
We are focused on the development of emavusertib (CA-4948), an orally available, small molecule inhibitor of IRAK4. IRAK4 plays an essential role in the toll-like receptor, or TLR, and interleukin-1 receptor, or IL-1R, signaling pathways, which are frequently dysregulated in patients with cancer. TLRs and the IL-1R family signal through the adaptor protein Myeloid Differentiation Primary Response Protein 88, which results in the assembly and activation of IRAK4, initiating a signaling cascade that induces cytokine and survival factor expression mediated by the NF-κB protein complex. Many B-cell leukemias and lymphomas are associated with constitutive activation of the NF-κB protein complex, which contributes to these cancers' proliferation and survival. The B-cell receptor, or BCR, and TLR pathways drive NF-κB activation. Preclinical studies have demonstrated that targeting both the BCR and TLR pathways is more synergistic than targeting either pathway alone. Similarly, preclinical studies targeting IRAKi in combination with FMS‐like tyrosine kinase 3, or FLT3, have demonstrated the ability to overcome the adaptive resistance incurred when targeting FLT3 alone. In AML patient derived xenografts, emavusertib has shown monotherapy anti-tumor activity as well as synergy with both venetoclax and azacitidine. In the clinic, emavusertib has shown anti-tumor activity across a broad range of hematologic malignancies, including monotherapy activity in AML, particularly those with a FLT3 mutation. In non-Hodgkin's lymphoma patients, particularly in PCNSL, emavusertib has shown anti-tumor activity in combination with a Bruton Tyrosine Kinase, or BTK, inhibitor.

Emavusertib is currently undergoing testing in combination with ibrutinib, a BTK inhibitor, in a Phase 1/2 open-label, single arm expansion trial in patients with R/R PCNSL (NCT03328078), also known as the TakeAim Lymphoma Phase 1/2 study. In June 2022 and December 2023, we provided preliminary clinical data for patients with various hematological malignancies in the combination portion of the ongoing TakeAim Lymphoma Phase 1/2 study. In December 2023, we provided clinical and safety data of emavusertib in combination with ibrutinib in several non-Hodgkin's lymphoma subtypes, including PCNSL patients. In July and December 2024, emavusertib was granted Orphan Drug Designation by the European Commission and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, respectively, for the treatment of patients with PCNSL. In September 2024 and March 2025, we provided additional clinical data of emavusertib in combination with ibrutinib in R/R PCNSL. In March 2025, we announced that we had completed productive meetings with both the European Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use, or CHMP, and the FDA on the suitability of using the ongoing TakeAim Lymphoma Phase 1/2 study to support a potential accelerated regulatory path for a Conditional Marketing Authorization, or CMA, submission in Europe and a New Drug Application, or NDA, submission in the U.S. We expect additional data from this study in the fourth quarter of 2025.

We have initiated a Phase 1 clinical study of emavusertib as an add-on agent to the combination of venetoclax and azacitidine in AML (2023-505828-58), which we refer to as the AML Triplet study. The AML Triplet study is currently being conducted in Spain, Germany, and Italy. The study is assessing the safety and tolerability of different dosing regimens of emavusertib in the triple combination in patients who achieved a complete remission on venetoclax and azacitidine, while remaining positive for minimal residual disease. To date, the trial has enrolled the first dosing cohort of emavusertib in combination with venetoclax and azacitidine. All patients in this cohort tolerated the triple regimen well, with no unexpected adverse events. As a result, the external Clinical Safety Review Committee recommended to escalate to the next dosing cohort, and enrollment for this cohort is currently ongoing.

Since our inception, we have funded our operations primarily through private and public placements of our equity securities, license fees, contingent cash payments, royalties and research and development funding from our corporate collaborators, and the monetization of certain royalty rights. We have never been profitable on an annual basis and had an accumulated deficit of $1.3 billion as of March 31, 2025. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we incurred a net loss of $10.6 million and used $7.3 million of cash in operations.

We expect to continue to generate operating losses in the foreseeable future. Based upon our current operating plan, we believe that our $20.3 million of existing cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2025 should enable us to fund our existing operations into the fourth quarter of 2025. We have based this assessment on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could exhaust our available capital resources sooner than we expect. Our current cash and cash equivalents are not expected to fund our operations beyond 12 months from the date of filing this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We will require substantial additional funds in the immediate term to maintain our research and development program and support operations. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources—Funding Requirements” below and Note 1, Nature of Business, in the accompanying Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a further discussion of our liquidity and the conditions and events that raise substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern.

We expect to continue to generate operating losses in the foreseeable future. In July 2025, we completed a registered direct offering and concurrent private placement, or July 2025 Offerings, for net proceeds of approximately $6.0 million. Based upon our current operating plan, we believe that our $10.1 million of existing cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2025, together with the proceeds from the July 2025 Offerings, should enable us to fund our existing operations into the first quarter of 2026. We have based this assessment on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could exhaust our available capital resources sooner than we expect.

We will need to generate significant revenues to achieve profitability, and do not expect to achieve profitability in the foreseeable future, if at all. We will require substantial additional funding in the immediate term to fund the development of emavusertib through regulatory approval and commercialization, and to support our continued operations. We will need to seek additional funding through a number of potential avenues, including private or public equity financings, collaborations, or other strategic transactions. We have faced and expect to continue to face substantial difficulty in raising capital. If sufficient funds are not available, we will have to delay, reduce the scope of, or eliminate our research and development program for emavusertib, including related clinical trials and operating expenses, potentially delaying the time to market for or preventing the marketing of emavusertib, which could adversely affect our business prospects and our ability to continue our operations, and would have a negative impact on our financial condition and ability to pursue our business strategies. In addition, we may seek to engage in one or more strategic alternatives, such as a strategic partnership with one or more parties, the licensing, sale or divestiture of some of our assets or proprietary technologies or the sale of our company, but there can be no assurance that we would be able to enter into such a transaction or transactions on a timely basis or on terms favorable to us, or at all. If we are unable to obtain sufficient capital, we would be unable to fund our operations and may be required to evaluate alternatives, which could include dissolving and liquidating our assets or seeking protection under the bankruptcy laws, and a determination to file for bankruptcy could occur at a time that is earlier than when we would otherwise exhaust our cash resources. If we decide to dissolve and liquidate our assets or to seek protection under the bankruptcy laws, it is unclear to what extent we would be able to pay our obligations, and, accordingly, it is further unclear whether and to what extent any resources would be available for distributions to stockholders.

Based upon our current operating plan, we believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents of $20.3 million as of March 31, 2025, should enable us to fund our existing operations into the fourth quarter of 2025. We have based this assessment on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could exhaust our available capital resources sooner than we expect. Our current cash and cash equivalents are not expected to fund our operations beyond 12 months from the date of filing this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. See Note 1, Nature of Business, in the accompanying Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a further discussion of our liquidity and the conditions and events that raise substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. Our resources are focused on emavusertib. If we are unable to obtain sufficient funding, we will be forced to delay, reduce in scope or eliminate our research and development program for emavusertib, including related clinical trials and operating expenses, potentially delaying the time to market for, or preventing the marketing of, emavusertib, which would adversely affect our business prospects and our ability to continue operations, and would have a negative impact on our financial condition and our ability to pursue our business strategies. We have faced and expect to continue to face substantial difficulty in raising capital. Our ability to raise additional funds will depend on financial, economic and market conditions, many of which are outside of our control, and we may be unable to raise financing when needed, or on terms favorable to us, or at all. In addition, we may seek to engage in one or more strategic alternatives, such as a strategic partnership with one or more parties, the licensing, sale or divestiture of some of our assets or proprietary technologies or the sale of our company, but there can be no assurance that we would be able to enter into such a transaction or transactions on a timely basis or on terms favorable to us, or at all. Our failure to raise capital through a financing or strategic alternative as and when needed would have a negative impact on our financial condition and our ability to pursue our business strategy. If we are unable to obtain sufficient capital, we would be unable to fund our operations and may be required to evaluate alternatives, which could include dissolving and liquidating our assets or seeking protection under the bankruptcy laws, and a determination to file for bankruptcy could occur at a time that is earlier than when we would otherwise exhaust our cash resources. If we decide to dissolve and liquidate our assets or to seek protection under the bankruptcy laws, it is unclear to what extent we would be able to pay our obligations, and, accordingly, it is further unclear whether and to what extent any resources would be available for distributions to stockhol…

In July 2025, we completed the July 2025 Offerings for net proceeds of approximately $6.0 million. Based upon our current operating plan, we believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents of $10.1 million as of June 30, 2025, together with the proceeds from the July 2025 Offerings, should enable us to fund our existing operations into the first quarter of 2026.

Our current cash and cash equivalents are not expected to fund our operations beyond 12 months from the date of filing this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
