Current report

our ability to shorten our clinical development timelines and reduce future clinical development costs through an accelerated path to filing a New Drug Application (NDA), which is dependent on the timing and outcomes of submissions to and other interactions with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA);

Current report

We are pursuing development of low dose (Z)-endoxifen for breast cancer risk reduction. On September 8, 2025, we announced that we requested a Type C meeting with the FDA to discuss a potential accelerated regulatory strategy for the development of low-dose (Z)-endoxifen for breast cancer risk reduction. This initiative followed an extensive review by external regulatory and legal experts of our clinical data and published scientific literature, which we believe supported the potential for a faster path to a New Drug Application (NDA) in the adjuvant, ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) and other high-risk breast cancer settings. On November 6, 2025, we received preliminary written comments from the FDA regarding the regulatory path for (Z)-endoxifen. We expect to meet with the FDA on November 17, 2025 to discuss a development plan intended to support filing an NDA, including the potential use of expedited programs where eligible. We will evaluate any implications for our plans and timelines following receipt of FDA meeting minutes, which are expected to be available in December 2025. While there can be no assurance of a favorable outcome, a successful alignment with the FDA could potentially materially shorten development timelines and reduce future clinical costs.

Current report

On October 6, 2025, we announced an amendment to our Phase 2 EVANGELINE study of (Z)-endoxifen in premenopausal women with newly diagnosed early-stage ER+/HER2- breast cancer. The study design has been updated to a single-arm, open-label, Phase 2 in premenopausal women with ER+/HER2– breast cancer in the pre-surgical setting. The initial EVANGELINE study design included 214 patients; and the amendment reduced the patient total to 40-65 patients. The study includes two Cohorts: Cohort A (signal-seeking), a two-stage futility design assessing the Week-4 Ki-67 ≤10% rate to allow early stop if not promising and Cohort B (estimation), assessing Week-24 objective response (RECIST 1.1, central review). The amended design will focus on objective, short-interval endpoints to inform development decisions efficiently while working to preserve patient safeguards.

Current report

The increase in R&D compensation expenses of $0.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024, was primarily due to an increase in headcount. R&D compensation expense remained relatively flat for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024.

Current report

Impairment Charge on Investment in Equity Securities. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we wrote down our Investment in equity securities by $1.7 million due to the impairment of our investment in Dynamic Cell Therapies, Inc. (DCT). Refer to Note 4“Investment in Equity Securities” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Previous wording

Results showed that the 1 mg dose of (Z)-endoxifen reduced MBD by 17.3% (p<0.01), while the 2 mg dose achieved a reduction of 23.5% (p<0.01), compared to a minimal change in the placebo group of 0.27%. Plasma concentrations for (Z)-endoxifen were measured at 4.8 ng/mL and 9.7 ng/mL for the 1 mg and 2 mg arms, respectively, which showed the effectiveness of the lower dose in achieving significant reductions. Importantly, no significant differences in adverse events were observed between the 1 mg dose and the placebo. The 2 mg dose was associated with higher rates of hot flashes, night sweats and vaginal discharge.

Previous wording

(Z)-endoxifen for Ductal Carcinoma In Situ. Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is the presence of abnormal cells inside a milk duct in the breast. It rarely produces symptoms, or a breast lump one can feel, typically being detected through screening mammography. In some cases, DCIS may become invasive and spread to other tissues, but there is no way of determining which lesions will remain stable without treatment and which will go on to become invasive. This uncertainty can result in aggressive and unnecessary treatment approaches that can have harmful side effects without significant benefit.

Previous wording

In Part 1, a Pharmacokinetic (PK) Run-In Cohort evaluated two dosage levels. A 40 mg per day cohort was initiated in February 2023 to assess if a plasma steady state concentration (Css) of 500 to 1000 ng/mL, which is required for optimal PKC-β inhibition, to be achieved. However, data showed that none of the patients in the 40 mg cohort reached the target Css. Subsequently, an 80 mg per day cohort was initiated and fully enrolled in July 2024. In this higher dose group, about 50% of patients receiving (Z)-endoxifen with goserelin and 38% of patients receiving (Z)-endoxifen alone attained the target plasma Css, with an average of 484 ng/mL. Importantly, tumor Css levels were found to be more than double the plasma levels, exceeding 500 ng/g in 90% of patients, and 85% of patients exhibited a 4-week Ki-67 response (≤10%), indicating substantial tumor suppression. (Z)-endoxifen was generally well tolerated, with no significant Grade 3 or 4 toxicities, though four gynecologic events (including one Grade 3 hemorrhagic ovarian cyst) were noted in the 80 mg group.
