Previous wording
We are a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, development, and commercialization of novel treatments for patients suffering from serious hematologic diseases. We have assembled a portfolio of clinical and preclinical product candidates that aim to modify fundamental biological pathways associated with the formation and function of red blood cells, specifically heme biosynthesis and iron homeostasis. Our current pipeline includes bitopertin for the treatment of erythropoietic porphyrias, or EPs, including erythropoietic protoporphyria, or EPP, and X-linked protoporphyria, or XLP, and Diamond-Blackfan Anemia, or DBA; DISC-0974 for the treatment of anemia of myelofibrosis, or MF, and anemia of chronic kidney disease, or CKD; and DISC-3405 for the treatment of polycythemia vera, or PV, and other hematologic disorders. In addition, our preclinical programs include DISC-0998 for the treatment of anemia associated with inflammatory diseases. Our approach to product candidate development leverages well-understood molecular mechanisms that have been validated in humans. We believe that each of our product candidates, if approved, has the potential to improve the lives of patients suffering from hematologic diseases.

Previous wording
Bitopertin is the lead product candidate in our heme biosynthesis modulation portfolio. Bitopertin was previously evaluated by F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd and Hoffmann-La Roche Inc., or collectively, Roche, in a comprehensive clinical program in over 4,000 individuals in other indications which demonstrated the activity of bitopertin as a glycine transporter 1, or GlyT1, inhibitor and its effect on heme biosynthesis. We are initially developing bitopertin for the treatment of EPs, including EPP and XLP, which are part of a group of severe diseases, known as porphyrias, caused by defects in the heme biosynthesis pathway that cause an accumulation of toxic metabolites referred to as porphyrins, resulting in skin hypersensitivity to sunlight and some types of artificial light. In June and December 2023, we presented interim data from BEACON, a Phase 2 open-label, parallel-dose clinical trial of bitopertin in EPP and XLP patients conducted at sites in Australia. In April 2024, we presented topline data from AURORA, a Phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial of bitopertin in EPP patients conducted at sites in the United States. Additional analyses of the BEACON and AURORA trials were presented in June 2024 and in December 2024. In both trials, bitopertin significantly reduced the toxic metabolite, protoporphyrin IX, or PPIX, and was associated with improvements in measures of time spent in sunlight and quality of life, demonstrating a clear association between PPIX reduction and clinical endpoints. In addition, bitopertin was generally well-tolerated. All participants who complete AURORA or BEACON are eligible to participate in HELIOS, an ongoing open-label, long-term extension study of bitopertin in EPP and XLP. In June 2025, we presented interim data from HELIOS, in which longer term treatment of bitopertin was associated with sustained reductions in PPIX, as well as improvements in quality of life, and improved liver biomarkers. In our end-of-Phase 2 meeting, the U.S. Food & Drug Administration, or the FDA, agreed with the potential for reduction of PPIX to serve as a surrogate endpoint to support a potential accelerated approval of bitopertin in EPP and XLP. Under the FDA’s Accelerated Approval Program, we would have the potential to submit a New Drug Application, or NDA, for bitopertin in EPP and XLP based on our existing data, and we would be required to conduct a post-marketing confirmatory clinical trial. In our Type C meeting with the FDA in December 2024, we aligned with the FDA on the design of APOLLO, a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, clinical trial of bitopertin in EPP and XLP patients that in the setting of an accelerated approval would serve as a post-marketing confirmatory clinical trial. We initiated the APOLLO trial in May 2025. Based on feedback from the FDA at our pre-NDA meeting, we plan to submit an NDA in October 2025 for accelerated approval of bitopertin in EPP and XLP in the United State…

APOLLO is also intended to serve as a registrational trial with respect to any potential future marketing applications for bitopertin in EPP and XLP in jurisdictions outside the United States. We initiated the APOLLO trial in May 2025, and on September 29, 2025 we submitted an NDA for accelerated approval of bitopertin in EPP and XLP in the United States based on our existing data. In October 2025, we were awarded a Commissioner’s National Priority Voucher, or CNP…

DISC-0974 is the lead product candidate in our iron homeostasis portfolio and was licensed from AbbVie Deutschland GmbH & Co. KG, or AbbVie. DISC-0974 is designed to suppress hepcidin production and increase serum iron levels. We completed a Phase 1 clinical trial in healthy volunteers in the U.S. in June 2022 with results showing an acceptable tolerability profile and evidence of target engagement, iron mobilization and augmented erythropoiesis. We initiated a Phase 1b/2 clinical trial in June 2022 in patients with anemia of MF, and initiated a separate Phase 1b/2 clinical trial in February 2023 in patients with non-dialysis dependent CKD and anemia. We presented interim data from both of these trials in December 2023 as well as additional interim data for anemia of MF in June 2024 and for non-dialysis dependent CKD and anemia in October 2024. This additional interim data included safety data and changes in hepcidin, iron, and hemoglobin levels for additional patients, as well as longer follow-up. In December 2024, we presented additional analyses of the Phase 1b study in anemia of MF, and in June 2025 we presented longer term data from the continuation phase of this study. We initiated the open-label Phase 2 portion of this clinical trial in December 2024 and we expect to report initial data from this Phase 2 trial in the second half of 2025. We also expect to report data from the multiple-ascending dose, or MAD, portion of the Phase 1b trial in patients with non-dialysis dependent CKD and anemia in the second half of 2025. We are also planning additional trials of DISC-0974 in other anemias of inflammation. In addition, we are developing a preclinical anti-hemojuvelin, or HJV, monoclonal antibody, DISC-0998, which also targets hepcidin suppression and was licensed from AbbVie. DISC-0998 is designed to increase serum iron levels and has an extended serum half-life as compared to DISC-0974. We believe this profile may be desirable in certain subsets of patients with anemia associated with inflammatory diseases.

In December 2024, we presented additional analyses of the Phase 1b study in anemia of MF, and in June 2025 we presented longer term data from the continuation phase of this study. We initiated RALLY-MF, the open-label Phase 2 portion of this clinical trial, in December 2024 and we expect to report initial data from this Phase 2 trial at the American Society of Hematology Annual Meeting in December 2025. Topline data from this trial is expected in 2026, which, if positive, is expected to support discussions with regulatory agencies on the potential regulatory path for DISC-0974 in anemia of MF. In October 2025, we announced that our recently completed Phase 1b, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of DISC-0974 in non-dialysis dependent CKD and anemia demonstrated engagement of mechanism with variable effects on hemoglobin. In this trial, DISC-0974 was generally well-tolerated and associated with substantial decreases in hepcidin, increases in iron, and improvements in markers of erythropoiesis. Meaningful hemoglobin increases observed in only a subset of patients were in part driven by those with higher baseline erythropoietin levels. We expect to report full data from this trial at the American Society of Nephrology (ASN) Kidney Week in November 2025, and we are assessing options for our DISC-0974 non-dialysis dependent CKD and anemia program based on full analysis of this data. We are also planning additional trials of DISC-0974 in other anemias of inflammation. For example, we plan to initiate a Phase 2 clinical trial of DISC-0974 in patients with IBD and anemia in the first quarter of 2026, and we are planning exploratory studies in additional patient populations with anemia of chronic disease. We are also developing a preclinical anti-hemojuvelin, or HJV, monoclonal antibody, DISC-0998, which also targets hepcidin suppression and was licensed from AbbVie.

Lastly, we are developing DISC-3405, a monoclonal antibody against Transmembrane Serine Protease 6, or TMPRSS6, that we licensed from Mabwell Therapeutics, Inc., or Mabwell. DISC-3405 is part of our iron homeostasis portfolio and is designed to induce hepcidin production and reduce serum iron levels. We initiated a Phase 1 clinical trial of DISC-3405 in healthy adult volunteers in October 2023 and presented interim data from the single-ascending dose, or SAD, portion of this clinical trial in June 2024. We presented data from the MAD portion of this Phase 1 healthy volunteer study of DISC-3405 in December 2024, and presented updated data from both the SAD and MAD portions of this clinical trial in June 2025. We are developing DISC-3405 for the treatment of PV and other hematologic disorders and initiated a Phase 2 clinical trial of DISC-3405 in PV in the first half of 2025.

In January 2025 we completed an underwritten offering of shares of our common stock and pre-funded warrants for net proceeds of $243.4 million, after deducting offering expenses. As of June 30, 2025, we had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $650.0 million. We believe that our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities will be sufficient to fund our current operating and capital expenditure plans and our debt service obligations into 2028, without taking into account any potential net cash inflows from bitopertin or any other marketed product, if approved during such period. We have based these estimates on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could exhaust our available capital resources sooner than we expect. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources" for additional details.
