Previous report
In January 2024, we announced a restructuring plan involving the reduction of our workforce by approximately 30%. This workforce reduction resulted in non-recurring charges of $0.6 million in fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, consisting primarily of employee severance and benefit costs associated with the restructuring. We undertook these steps in order to streamline operations, reduce costs and preserve capital as we advance into late-stage development of rezatapopt. We recorded these charges in research and development expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss based on responsibilities of the impacted employees.

Refer to Note 12 of the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for details on the restructuring.
Previous report
In January 2021, we signed a lease for 50,581 square feet of office and laboratory space at One Research Way in Princeton, New Jersey, or the One Research Way Lease. On August 5, 2024, we entered into a Lease Termination Agreement, or the Termination Agreement, with BMR-One Research Way LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, or the Landlord, to terminate the One Research Way Lease. We and the Landlord agreed to terminate the One Research Way Lease effective as of September 30, 2024, contingent on the sale of the property by the Landlord to a prospective new buyer, or the Contingency.
Previous report
Pursuant to the Termination Agreement, and subject to the Contingency, we agreed to surrender our then-current headquarters at One Research Way and pay a total termination fee of approximately $1.42 million. The Contingency was satisfied in October 2024 and we paid the termination fee to the Landlord in October 2024. No further amounts or payments related to the One Research Way Lease are owed. The foregoing descriptions of the Termination Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Termination Agreement, a copy of which was filed as Exhibit 10.1 to our Form 8-K filed with the SEC on August 8, 2024.
Reworded paragraphs (15)
Previous wording
Since our formation in March 2013, we have devoted substantially all of our time and efforts to performing research and development activities and raising capital. We are not profitable and have incurred losses in each year since our inception. Our net losses were $58.7 million, $69.0 million, and $73.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, we had an accumulated deficit of $368.7 million. We do not currently have any product candidates approved for sale, and we continue to incur significant research and development and general administrative expenses related to our operations. We initiated a Phase 1/2 clinical trial, PYNNACLE, in October 2020 for our lead product candidate, rezatapopt. Our strategy is to seek approval under an accelerated pathway, and we believe our PYNNACLE clinical trial has the potential to serve as a pivotal study. In October 2020, we were granted FDA Fast Track designation of rezatapopt for the treatment of patients with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors that have a p53 Y220C mutation. In July 2023, we met with the FDA at an End of Phase 1 meeting where alignment was obtained on the recommended Phase 2 dose and key elements of the single arm, Phase 2 registrational portion of the PYNNACLE study. In October 2023, we presented our updated Phase 1 clinical data for rezatapopt at the 2023 AACR-NCI-EORTC International Conference on Molecular Targets and Cancer Therapeutics Annual Meeting. We dosed our first patient in the pivotal Phase 2 monotherapy portion of the PYNNACLE study in the first quarter of 2024. We are continuing to dose patients in the pivotal Phase 2 monotherapy portion of our PYNNACLE trial, and have activated over 90% of sites globally across the U.S., U.K., Europe and Asia-Pacific. We also expect to provide interim data on the Phase 2 monotherapy registrational portion of the PYNNACLE trial by mid-2025. In October 2024, we discontinued enrollment in the Phase 1b combination arm of the PYNNACLE trial evaluating rezatapopt in combination with Merck and Co.’s anti-PD-1 therapy KEYTRUDA® (pembrolizumab) in patients with advanced solid tumors harboring a TP53 Y220C mutation. Additionally, we announced that we are collaborating with the MDACC and MSK to support an investigator-initiated Phase 1b study, which is designed to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary efficacy of rezatapopt monotherapy in combination with azacitidine in R/R AML and MDS patients harboring a TP53 Y220C mutation. MDACC dosed its first patient for this Phase 1b study in the first quarter of 2025.

In March 2026, rezatapopt was granted ODD from the FDA for the treatment of TP53 Y220C positive ovarian cancer, fallopian tube cancer, and primary peritoneal cancer. We plan to submit a New Drug Application, or NDA, for the treatment of patients with platinum-resistant/refractory ovarian cancer harboring a TP53 Y220C mutation to the FDA for rezatapopt in the first quarter of 2027.
Previous wording
We do not allocate our costs by product candidate or development program, as a significant amount of research and development expenses include compensation costs, materials, supplies, depreciation on and maintenance of research equipment, and the cost of services provided by outside contractors, which are not tracked by product candidate or development program. In particular, with respect to internal costs, several of our departments support multiple product candidate research and development programs, and therefore the costs cannot be allocated to a particular product candidate or development program. Substantially all of our research and development costs are associated with our lead product candidate, rezatapopt. We initiated a Phase 1/2 clinical trial in October 2020. In October 2020, we were granted FDA Fast Track designation of rezatapopt for the treatment of patients with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors that have a p53 Y220C mutation.

We are continuing to dose patients and have activated over 90% of sites globally across the U.S., U.K., Europe and Asia-Pacific, in the registrational, tumor-agnostic PYNNACLE Phase 2 trial of rezatapopt in patients with advanced solid tumors harboring a TP53 Y220C mutation and KRAS wild-type. We also expect to provide interim data on the Phase 2 monotherapy registrational portion of the PYNNACLE trial by mid-2025. In October 2024, we discontinued enrollment in the Phase 1b combination arm of the PYNNACLE trial evaluating rezatapopt in combination with Merck and Co.’s anti-PD-1 therapy KEYTRUDA® (pembrolizumab) in patients with advanced solid tumors harboring a TP53 Y220C mutation.

Previous wording
We expect our research and development expenses to increase substantially in absolute dollars in the future as we advance our product candidates into and through clinical trials and pursue regulatory approval of our product candidates. The process of conducting the necessary clinical research to obtain regulatory approval is costly and time-consuming. The actual probability of success for our product candidates may be affected by a variety of factors including: the safety and efficacy of our product candidates, early clinical data, investment in our clinical program, the ability of any future collaborators to successfully develop our licensed product candidates, competition, manufacturing capability, and commercial viability. We may never succeed in achieving regulatory approval for any of our product candidates. As a result of the uncertainties discussed above, we are unable to determine the duration and completion costs of our research and development projects.

Previous wording
Since our inception, we have not generated any revenue from any product sales or any other sources and have incurred significant operating losses and negative cash flows from our operations. We have not yet commercialized any of our product candidates and we do not expect to generate revenue from sales of any product candidates for several years, if at all.

Previous wording
We use our capital resources primarily to fund operating expenses, mainly research and development expenditures. On January 18, 2024, we announced a restructuring plan involving the reduction of our workforce by approximately 30% of our employees and incurred costs of $0.6 million in connection therewith during the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2024. We undertook these steps in order to streamline operations, reduce costs and preserve capital as we advance our lead candidate, rezatapopt, into late-stage development. At this time, due to the inherently unpredictable nature of preclinical and clinical development, we cannot reasonably estimate the costs we will incur and the timelines that will be required to complete development, obtain marketing approval and commercialize our current product candidates or any future product candidates, if at all. For the same reasons, we are also unable to predict when, if ever, we will generate revenue from product sales or whether, or when, if ever, we may achieve profitability. Clinical and preclinical development timelines, the probability of success, and development costs can differ materially from expectations. In addition, we cannot forecast which product candidates may be subject to future collaborations, when such arrangements will be secured, if at all, and to what degree such arrangements would affect our development plans and capital requirements.

Previous wording
Due to our significant research and development expenditures, we have generated substantial operating losses in each period since inception. We have incurred an accumulated deficit of $368.7 million through December 31, 2024. We expect to incur substantial additional losses in the future as we expand our research and development activities. Our cash operating expenditures were $51.3 million in 2024 and $55.7 million in 2023. Based on our research and development plans, we expect that our cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities balances as of December 31, 2024 will be sufficient to fund our planned operations at least through the end of 2026.
