Current report

In September 2025, we announced positive topline results from our Phase 2a proof-of-concept trial of RAP-219 in adult patients with drug-resistant focal onset seizures. The trial met its primary and secondary endpoints. The trial demonstrated a statistically significant reduction in long episodes – an objective electrographic biomarker for clinical seizure reduction – compared with baseline over the 8-week treatment period. In the trial, RAP-219 also demonstrated a statistically significant and clinically meaningful reduction in clinical seizures compared with baseline. RAP-219 was generally well tolerated. We expect to present additional efficacy analyses later in 2025, as well as 8-week follow-up results in 2026. By the end of 2025, we plan to initiate an open-label long term safety trial to allow patients enrolled in our Phase 2a focal onset seizure trial to resume taking RAP-219. Preliminary results of the trial are expected in the second half of 2026. We plan to hold an end-of-Phase 2 meeting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) in the fourth quarter of 2025, and move into two Phase 3 trials, with initiation expected in the third quarter of 2026.

Current report

Additionally, we continue to develop a long-acting injectable (“LAI”) formulation of RAP-219. We believe an LAI formulation has the potential to improve patient adherence and expand the potential clinical utility across all of the RAP-219 indications.

Reworded paragraphs (38)

Previous wording

A total of four Phase 1 trials in RAP-219 have been conducted to date in healthy adult volunteers: a single ascending dose (“SAD”) trial; a multiple ascending dose (“MAD”) trial; a second MAD trial (“MAD-2”), to assess dosing regimens that may accelerate time to reach therapeutic exposure; and a human positron emission tomography (“PET”) trial, which utilized a companion PET radiotracer to confirm brain target receptor occupancy and brain region specificity across a range of dosing and exposure levels. In January 2025, we announced results from our PET and MAD-2 trials of RAP-219. Data demonstrated that neuroanatomical specificity can be achieved through RAP-219’s selective targeting of TARPγ8. In Cohort 1 ofthe human PET trial, which used the dosing regimen utilized in our ongoing Phase 2a trial in patients with drug-resistant focal onset seizures, RAP-219 achieved target receptor occupancy associated with maximal seizure protection in preclinical models within five days and was generally well tolerated, which we believe further supportsthe use of such dosing regimen in the Phase 2a trial in drug-resistant focal onset seizures.

Previous wording

We are currently conducting a Phase 2a proof-of-concept trial in adult patients with drug-resistant focal onset seizures, for which topline results are on-track to be announced in September 2025. We believe RAP-219 also has therapeutic potential in bipolar disorder and peripheral neuropathic pain, and our Phase 2 proof-of-concept trial in bipolar mania has been initiated and is enrolling patients, with topline results expected in the first half of 2027. We were notified in the fourth quarter of 2024 by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) that the Investigational New Drug (“IND”) submitted for the initiation of a Phase 2a proof-of-concept trial of RAP-219 for the treatment of diabetic peripheral neuropathic pain (“DPNP”) was placed on clinical hold. The FDA requested additional information and amendments specific to the protocol design. The clinical hold is specific to the IND for DPNP and has not impacted our ongoing Phase 2a trial in drug-resistant focal onset seizures or proof-of-concept trial in bipolar mania. We believe in our ability to advance the clinical development of RAP-219 for DPNP and will provide an update on the anticipated timing of the Phase 2a trial initiation later this year.

Since our inception in February 2022, we have not generated any revenue from product sales or other sources and have incurred significant operating losses and negative cash flows from our operations. We have devoted substantially all of our efforts to organizing and staffing our company, business planning, research and development activities, building our intellectual property portfolio, and providing general and administrative support for these operations. In June 2024, we completed our initial public offering (“IPO”), pursuant to which we issued and sold 9,200,000 shares of common stock (inclusive of 1,200,000 shares of common stock sold pursuant to the underwriters’ exercise of their option to purchase additional shares). In addition, we issued and sold 1,058,824 shares of common stock to certain institutional accredited investors in a concurrent private placement. The aggregate net proceeds received by us from the IPO and concurrent private placement were $157.6 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions, placement agent fees as well as other offering and private placement costs of $16.8 million. To date, we have funded our operations primarily with proceeds from the issuance and sale of our common stock, convertible notes and convertible preferred stock. As of June 30, 2025, we had raised aggregate gross proceeds of $424.4 million from these financings, and had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $260.4 million, excluding our restricted cash.

Since our inception in February 2022, we have not generated any revenue from any sources and have incurred significant operating losses and negative cash flows from operations. We expect to incur significant expenses and operating losses for the foreseeable future as we advance the clinical development of our product candidates and pipeline. Further, we expect to continue to incur additional costs associated with operating as a public company. Historically, we have funded our operations with proceeds from the sale of convertible notes, convertible preferred stock, and the issuance of common stock in our IPO and concurrent private placement. To date, we have received aggregate gross proceeds of $424.4 million from the issuance of convertible promissory notes and the sale of our convertible preferred stock and common stock.

Previous wording

As of June 30, 2025, we had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $260.4 million, excluding our restricted cash. As of the issuance date of the condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2025, we expect that our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments will be sufficient to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements through at least 12 months from the issuance of the condensed consolidated financial statements. We believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments will enable us to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements through the end of 2026. We have based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could exhaust our available capital resources sooner than we expect. However, our forecast for the period of time through which our financial resources will be adequate to support our operations is a forward-looking statement that involves risks and uncertainties, and actual results could vary materially. Additionally, the process of conducting preclinical studies and testing potential future product candidates in clinical trials is costly, and the timing of progress and expenses in these studies and trials is uncertain. We will need to raise substantial additional capital in the future.
