Current report

In September 2025, we announced top-line data from a global Phase 3 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of efzofitimod in patients with pulmonary sarcoidosis (the EFZO-FIT study). The EFZO-FIT study was a 52-week study in 268 patients with pulmonary sarcoidosis consisting of three parallel cohorts randomized equally to either 3.0 mg/kg or 5.0 mg/kg of efzofitimod or placebo dosed intravenously once every four weeks for a total of 12 doses, with a four week safety follow-up. The study design incorporated a protocol guided steroid taper in the first 12 weeks of the study, followed by continued taper or rescue until week 48. The study did not meet its primary endpoint of change from baseline in mean daily oral corticosteroid (OCS) dose at week 48. The change from baseline in mean daily OCS dose reduced to an average of 2.79 mg for 5.0 mg/kg efzofitimod vs 3.52 mg for placebo (p=0.3313). The study’s statistical analysis plan was designed on a hierarchical assessment basis, as such since the primary endpoint was not met, all subsequent statistical testing is reported as nominal findings. The study demonstrated a clinically meaningful improvement in the King’s Sarcoidosis Questionnaire (KSQ)-Lung score at week 48 for 5.0 mg/kg efzofitimod compared to placebo (p=0.0479), with a responder analysis of patients who achieved complete steroid withdrawal at week 48 with an improved KSQ-Lung score also showing improvement in patients treated with 5.0 mg/kg efzofitimod compared to placebo (p=0.0196). Lung function as measured by forced vital capacity (FVC) at week 48 was maintained in all groups. Efzofitimod was generally well-tolerated at both the 3.0 mg/kg and 5.0 mg/kg doses, consistent with previously observed safety profile in all trials conducted to date. At the European Respiratory Society (ERS) Congress in late September 2025, we announced additional findings from the EFZO-FIT Study, including analyses of additional pre-specified outcomes that demonstrated clinical improvements in mean change from baseline in the Fatigue Assessment (FAS) Total Score (p=0.0226) and KSQ-General Health score (p=0.0197) in patients treated with 5.0 mg/kg efzofitimod versus placebo. Treatment with efzofitimod was also associated with a trend toward a greater proportion of patients achieving steroid-free status for at least six months. Based on the trial findings, which we believe indicate drug activity for efzofitimod as evidenced by improvements across multiple clinically relevant efficacy endpoints, we plan to meet with the FDA in the first quarter of 2026 to review the results and determine the path forward for efzofitimod in pulmonary sarcoidosis.

Previous report

In February 2022, we met with the FDA in an end-of-Phase 2 meeting to discuss our plans for subsequent clinical development and path to registration for efzofitimod for pulmonary sarcoidosis. Subsequently, we initiated a global pivotal Phase 3 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of efzofitimod in patients with pulmonary sarcoidosis (the EFZO-FIT study). The EFZO-FIT study is a 52-week study consisting of three parallel cohorts randomized equally to either 3.0 mg/kg or 5.0 mg/kg of efzofitimod or placebo dosed intravenously once a month for a total of 12 doses. The study design incorporates a forced steroid taper. The objective of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of efzofitimod in patients with pulmonary sarcoidosis. The primary endpoint of the study is steroid reduction. Secondary endpoints include measures of lung function assessed by health-related quality of life assessments and questionnaires (KSQ lung score) and forced vital capacity (FVC). In September 2022, we dosed the first patient in the study. During 2023, 2024 and 2025, we have had data and safety monitoring board (DSMB) reviews of our EFZO-FIT study. The DSMB reviews concluded that the study could continue unmodified. In July 2024, we completed enrollment of 268 subjects with pulmonary sarcoidosis at multiple centers in the United States, Europe, Brazil, and Japan, exceeding target enrollment. In July 2025, we completed the last patient visit in the EFZO-FIT study. Topline data from the study are expected in mid-September 2025.
Reworded paragraphs (22)

Previous wording

Our lead therapeutic candidate is efzofitimod, a first-in-class biologic immunomodulator in clinical development for the treatment of interstitial lung disease (ILD), a group of immune-mediated disorders that can cause inflammation and fibrosis, or scarring, of the lungs. Efzofitimod is a tRNA synthetase derived therapy that selectively modulates activated myeloid cells through neuropilin-2 (NRP2) to resolve aberrant inflammation without immune suppression and potentially prevent the progression of fibrosis. ILDs are predominantly immune-mediated disorders that are characterized by chronic inflammation, which can lead to progressive fibrosis of the lung. There are limited treatment options for ILD and there remains a high unmet medical need. Sarcoidosis and systemic sclerosis (SSc, also known as scleroderma)-associated ILD (SSc-ILD) are two major forms of ILD. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted efzofitimod orphan drug designations for the treatment of sarcoidosis and for the treatment of SSc, and Fast Track designations for the treatment of pulmonary sarcoidosis and for the treatment of SSc-ILD. The European Commission has granted efzofitimod orphan drug designations for the treatment of sarcoidosis and for the treatment of SSc, based on the opinion of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) Committee for Orphan Medicinal Products (COMP). The Pharmaceutical and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA) has granted efzofitimod orphan drug designation for the treatment of sarcoidosis to Kyorin Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (Kyorin), our partner in Japan.

Previous wording

Efzofitimod was safe and well-tolerated at all doses administered with no serious drug-related adverse events or signal of immunogenicity. Additionally, the study demonstrated consistent dose response for efzofitimod on key efficacy endpoints and improvements compared to placebo, including measures of steroid reduction, lung function, pulmonary sarcoidosis symptom measures and inflammatory biomarkers. These data were subsequently presented at the American Thoracic Society (ATS) International Conference and published in the peer-reviewed journal CHEST during 2022. In October 2024, the same published data for efzofitimod was featured in the Best of CHEST Journals session at the CHEST 2024 Annual Meeting.

Current wording

In September 2021, we announced positive results and clinical proof-of-concept from a double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 1b/2a clinical trial in 37 patients with pulmonary sarcoidosis. The study was designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, immunogenicity and preliminary efficacy of three doses of intravenous (IV) efzofitimod, 1.0, 3.0 and 5.0 mg/kg, in the context of a forced steroid taper. Efzofitimod was well-tolerated at all doses administered with no serious drug-related adverse events or signal of immunogenicity. Additionally, the study demonstrated consistent dose response for efzofitimod on key efficacy endpoints and improvements compared to placebo, including measures of steroid reduction, lung function, pulmonary sarcoidosis symptom measures and inflammatory biomarkers.

Previous wording

In February 2024, we announced an Individual Patient Expanded Access Program (Individual Patient EAP). The Individual Patient EAP has been initiated based on blinded EFZO-FIT study investigator and patient participant feedback. The program is designed to allow access for patients who complete the Phase 3 EFZO-FIT study and wish to receive treatment with efzofitimod outside of the clinical trial. The administration of efzofitimod as part of the Individual Patient EAP will occur independent of the EFZO-FIT study protocol, and we, principal investigators and patients will remain blinded to the treatment that occurred as part of the EFZO-FIT study. As this Individual Patient EAP will occur independent of the EFZO-FIT study, this program is not an open-label extension (OLE) and no long-term data will be collected by us.

The program was designed to allow access for patients who completed the Phase 3 EFZO-FIT study and wished to receive treatment with efzofitimod outside of the clinical trial. The Individual Patient EAP will continue to progress while we engage with the FDA to determine the path forward for efzofitimod in pulmonary sarcoidosis. The administration of efzofitimod as part of the Individual Patient EAP is independent of the EFZO-FIT study protocol. As this Individual Patient EAP is independent of the EFZO-FIT study, this program is not an open-label extension (OLE) and no long-term data will be collected by us.

Previous wording

Based on the results of the Phase 1b/2a clinical trial, we believe efzofitimod has potential applications in the treatment of other ILDs, such as chronic hypersensitivity pneumonitis (CHP) and connective tissue disease related ILD (CTD-ILD), including SSc-ILD and rheumatoid arthritis-associated ILD. As such, we designed a focused Phase 2 proof-of-concept clinical trial of efzofitimod (the EFZO-CONNECT study) in patients with SSc-ILD. The EFZO-CONNECT study is a randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled proof-of-concept study to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of efzofitimod in patients with SSc-ILD. This is a 28-week study with three parallel cohorts randomized 2:2:1 to either 270 mg or 450 mg of efzofitimod or placebo dosed intravenously monthly for a total of six doses. The study intends to enroll up to 25 patients at multiple centers in the United States. The objective of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of multiple doses of IV efzofitimod on pulmonary, cutaneous (limited or diffuse) and systemic manifestations in patients with SSc-ILD. The primary endpoint is reduction in FVC. Secondary endpoints include certain measures regarding safety and tolerability. In July 2024, we amended the study to add an OLE to patients. Patients who complete the study and wish to receive ongoing treatment with efzofitimod are eligible to participate in the 24-week OLE. In June 2025 we announced interim data from the study showing three out of four efzoftimod-treated diffuse SSc-ILD patients showed clinically important improvement based on the modified Rodnan Skin Score (mRSS) assessment at 12 weeks and that efzofitimod was generally safe and well tolerated at all doses. We are continuing enrollment and moving toward the 24-week endpoints, including the evaluation of the lung function endpoints to evaluate the ILD component of the disease.

We expect to complete enrollment of the study in the first half of 2026.

Previous wording

In January 2020, we entered into a collaboration and license agreement (Kyorin Agreement) with Kyorin for the development and commercialization of efzofitimod for the treatment of ILD in Japan. Under the terms of the Kyorin Agreement, Kyorin received exclusive rights to develop and commercialize efzofitimod in Japan for all forms of ILD, and is obligated to fund all research, development, regulatory, marketing and commercialization activities in Japan. We are responsible for supplying all drug product for Japan, as well as supporting development activities for efzofitimod. In 2020, Kyorin conducted and funded a Phase 1 clinical trial of efzofitimod (known as KRP-R120 in Japan). The Phase 1 clinical trial was a placebo-controlled clinical trial to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK) and immunogenicity of efzofitimod in 32 healthy Japanese male volunteers. Efzofitimod was observed to be generally well-tolerated with no drug-related serious adverse events, and PK findings were consistent with previous studies of efzofitimod. Kyorin is also participating in the EFZO-FIT study as the local sponsor in Japan. In February 2023, Kyorin dosed the first patient in Japan in the EFZO-FIT study which triggered a $10.0 million milestone payment to us. To date, the Kyorin Agreement has generated $20.0 million in upfront and milestone payments to us and we are eligible to receive up to an additional $155.0 million in the aggregate upon achievement of certain development, regulatory and sales milestones, as well as tiered royalties on any net sales in Japan.

We have incurred losses and negative cash flows from operations since our inception. As of June 30, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $566.5 million, and we expect to continue to incur net losses for the foreseeable future. As of June 30, 2025, we had cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and available-for-sale investments of $83.2 million. We believe that our current cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and available-for-sale investments will be sufficient to meet our material cash requirements from known contractual and other obligations for a period of at least one year from the date of this Quarterly Report. In addition to the factors discussed under “Material Cash Requirements,” our ability to fund our longer-term operating needs will depend on our ability to raise additional funding through equity or debt offerings, grant funding, collaborations, strategic partnerships and/or licensing arrangements, and other factors, including those discussed in Part II, Item 1A. “Risk Factors - Risks related to our financial condition and need for additional capital - We will need to raise additional capital or enter into strategic partnering relationships to fund our operations.”

From our inception through June 30, 2025, we have financed our operations primarily through the sale of equity securities and convertible debt, venture debt, term loans and through license and collaboration agreement revenues. We rely primarily on the Jefferies ATM Offering Program for financing our activities. Given recent volatility in capital markets generally, the price of our common stock has fluctuated materially since the start of 2025. If markets remain volatile or our stock price continues to fluctuate, this may negatively affect our ability to generate cash from financing activities in future periods.

We rely primarily on the Jefferies ATM Offering Program for financing our activities. Given ongoing volatility in capital markets generally, the price of our common stock has fluctuated materially since the start of 2025 and, since the announcement of top-line data from the EFZO-FIT Study particularly, we have experienced a material decline in our stock price. If markets remain volatile or our stock price continues to remain depressed, this may negatively affect our ability to generate cash from financing activities in future periods, including negatively affecting our ability to generate sufficient funds through our “at-the-market” offering program (the Jefferies ATM Offering Program) implemented through our Open Market Sale Agreement SM with Jefferies LLC (Jefferies).

Previous wording

In April 2022, we entered into an Open Market Sale Agreement SM with Jefferies LLC (Jefferies) implementing an “at-the-market” offering program (the Jefferies ATM Offering Program). In December 2024, we amended the Jefferies ATM Offering Program. Under the Jefferies ATM Offering Program, we may offer and sell, from time to time and at our option, up to an aggregate of $215.0 million of shares of our common stock (inclusive of $65.0 million of sales made prior to the amendment) through Jefferies, acting as sales agent. Jefferies is entitled to a fixed commission rate of up to 3.0% of the gross sales proceeds of shares sold under the Jefferies ATM Offering Program. During the year ended December 31, 2024, we sold an aggregate of 20,653,450 shares of common stock at a weighted-average price of $2.02 per share for net proceeds of approximately $40.3 million under the Jefferies ATM Offering Program. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we sold an aggregate of 8,771,725 shares of common stock at a weighted-average price of $4.32 per share for net proceeds of approximately $36.7 million under the Jefferies ATM Offering Program.

To date, we have not generated any revenues from product sales. We expect our expenses to increase in connection with our ongoing activities, particularly as we continue to advance efzofitimod in clinical development, manufacturing, regulatory and pre-commercialization activities, continue our research and development activities with respect to other potential therapies based on tRNA synthetase biology and seek marketing approval for product candidates that we may develop. In addition, if we obtain marketing approval for any of our product candidates, we expect to incur significant commercialization expenses related to product sales, marketing, manufacturing and distribution. We currently have minimal sales and marketing capabilities and would need to expand our organization to support these activities. Accordingly, we will need to obtain substantial additional funding in connection with our continuing operations. Our forecast of 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.

Kyorin has also participated in the EFZO-FIT study as the local sponsor in Japan. To date, the Kyorin Agreement has generated $20.0 million in upfront and milestone payments to us and we are eligible to receive up to an additional $155.0 million in the aggregate upon achievement of certain development, regulatory and sales milestones, as well as tiered royalties on any net sales in Japan.

Research and development expenses. Research and development expenses were $15.4 million and $14.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase of $1.4 million was due primarily to an increase of $1.0 million in manufacturing costs for preparation toward a potential BLA filing. Preclinical development and other shared research and development expenses increased by $0.3 million, and was primarily attributable to increased discovery costs for our preclinical product candidates. Non-cash expenses increased by $0.1 million primarily due to increased non-cash stock-based compensation expense. We expect research and development expenses to increase as we advance toward the potential commercialization of efzofitimod.
