Current report
In late 2025, we initiated an open-label long term safety trial to allow patients enrolled in our Phase 2a proof-of-concept FOS trial to resume taking RAP-219. Data from the open-label trial is expected in the second half of 2026. In December 2025, we received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) feedback from an end-of-Phase 2 meeting supporting advancement into two Phase 3 trials of RAP-219 in patients with drug-resistant FOS and we are on track to initiate the Phase 3 program in FOS in the second quarter of 2026.
Current report
We are also expanding our epilepsy portfolio into PGTCS, the most common type of generalized seizure and an important next step in addressing unmet need in patients with seizure disorders. With proof-of-concept established in FOS, we plan to initiate a Phase 3 trial in PGTCS in the first half of 2027.
Current report
We believe RAP-219 also has therapeutic potential in bipolar disorder. Our Phase 2 proof-of-concept trial in bipolar mania is progressing well and topline results are now expected in the fourth quarter of 2026, ahead of the previous guidance of first half of 2027. Additionally, we have modified the trial's statistical analysis plan and increased target enrollment, enabling the trial to potentially be considered as confirmatory evidence of effectiveness. Following completion of the Phase 2 trial, and subject to the results, we plan to engage with the FDA in an end-of-Phase 2 meeting to align on the design of a potential Phase 3 program to support a New Drug Application for the treatment of bipolar mania.
Current report
We also previously submitted an Investigational New Drug (“IND”) application to the FDA for initiation of a Phase 2 proof-of-concept trial in RAP-219 for the treatment of diabetic peripheral neuropathic pain (“DPNP”), which was placed on clinical hold by the FDA in the fourth quarter of 2024. Following further interactions with the FDA, the FDA removed its clinical hold on the DPNP IND in December 2025. We are deferring further investment in the RAP-219 DPNP program at this time to prioritize our α6ß4 program, which we believe has significant potential in chronic pain and migraine, as described below.

Revenue Recognition
Current report
We recognize revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), Topic 606, Revenue Recognition (“ASC 606”). Accordingly, we recognize revenue following the five step model prescribed under Accounting Standards Updates No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: (i) Identify the contract(s) with the customer, (ii) Identify the promised goods and/or services in the contract and determine which promised goods and/or services represent performance obligations, (iii) Measure the transaction price, (iv) Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and (v) Recognize revenue when (or as) each performance obligation is satisfied. We only apply the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that we will collect the consideration we are entitled to in exchange for the goods or services we transfer to the customer. At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606, we assess the goods or services promised within each contract and determine those that are performance obligations, and whether each promised good or service is distinct. We then recognize as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied.
Current report
As part of the accounting for these arrangements, we must develop assumptions that require judgment to determine the standalone selling price for each performance obligation identified in the contract and use judgment in the determination of the transaction price and the application of the constraint. The determination of standalone selling price has not had a significant impact on the accounting for our revenue arrangements given the nature of the performance obligations. We have also not been required to apply significant judgment in determining the transaction price given the nature of the variable consideration and the application of the constraint.

Previous report
We believe RAP-219 also has therapeutic potential in bipolar disorder and our Phase 2 proof-of-concept trial in bipolar mania is currently enrolling patients, with topline results expected in the first half of 2027. We also believe RAP-219 has therapeutic potential in peripheral neuropathic pain. We were notified in the fourth quarter of 2024 by the U.S. FDA that the Investigational New Drug (“IND”) submitted for the initiation of a Phase 2 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 Phase 2a trial in drug-resistant focal onset seizures or our Phase 2 proof-of-concept trial in bipolar mania. Next steps for the program are expected to be determined in the first quarter of 2026.
Previous report
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.
Previous report
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.
Previous report
In September 2025, we completed an underwritten public offering of 11,057,692 shares of common stock (inclusive of 1,442,307 shares of common stock sold pursuant to the underwriters’ full exercise of their option to purchase additional shares) at a public offering price of $26.00 per share (the “September 2025 Offering”) pursuant to the Registration Statement and a related prospectus supplement filed with the SEC. The net proceeds from the September 2025 Offering were approximately $269.4 million, after deducting underwriter discounts, commissions, and other offering costs of $18.1 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 September 30, 2025, we had raised aggregate gross proceeds of $711.9 million from these financings, and had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $513.0 million, excluding our restricted cash.

Change in Fair Value of Preferred Stock Tranche Right Liabilities
Previous report
Our Series B convertible preferred stock purchase agreements provided the investors the obligation to participate in subsequent offerings Series B convertible preferred stock upon achievement of certain specified milestones, upon the waiver of such milestone achievement by a majority vote of the respective series convertible preferred stockholders, or with respect to the Series B convertible preferred stock, upon exercise of the stockholders right to early exercise the preferred stock tranche right. The preferred stock tranche rights are classified as liabilities and initially recorded at fair value upon the issuance date of the rights. The liabilities were subsequently remeasured to fair value at each reporting date and immediately prior to being settled, and changes in fair value of the preferred stock tranche right liabilities were recognized as a component of other income (expense), net in our condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. In March 2024, we closed the Series B second financing, resulting in full settlement of the tranche right, upon which we issued additional shares of Series B convertible preferred stock. Immediately prior to the issuance of such shares, the preferred stock tranche right liability was remeasured to fair value with the change in fair value recognized as a component of other income (expense), net. As a result of the Series B preferred stock tranche right settlement in March 2024, we will no longer recognize changes in the fair value of the Series B preferred stock tranche liability in our condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Previous wording
We are a clinical-stage biotechnology company dedicated to discovering and developing small molecule precision medicines for patients with neurological or psychiatric disorders. Our foundational science has elucidated complexities of neuronal receptor biology and enables us to map and target certain neuronal receptor complexes. Neuronal receptors are complex assemblies of proteins, comprising receptor principal subunits and their receptor associated proteins (“RAPs”), the latter of which play crucial roles in regulating receptor expression and function. We believe that our deep expertise in RAP biology provides an opportunity for us to interrogate previously inaccessible targets and develop neurological and psychiatric drugs that are specific for receptor variants and neuroanatomical regions associated with certain diseases. Most neuroactive drugs lack this specificity, often resulting in undesired and intolerable side effects. Leveraging our expertise, we are developing a portfolio of precision product candidates that we believe has the potential to transform the standard of care of many neurological and psychiatric disorders.

Previous wording
Our founders have made pioneering discoveries related to the function of RAPs in the brain. Their findings form the basis of our RAP technology platform, which enables a differentiated approach to generate precision small molecule product candidates with the potential to overcome many limitations of conventional neurology drug discovery. RAP-219, our most advanced product candidate, is an AMPA receptor (“AMPAR”) negative allosteric modulator (“NAM”). RAP-219 is designed to achieve neuroanatomical specificity through its selective targeting of a RAP known as TARPγ8, which is associated with the neuronal AMPARs. Whereas AMPARs are distributed widely in the central nervous system (“CNS”), TARPγ8 is expressed only in discrete regions, including the hippocampus and neocortex, where focal onset seizures often originate. By contrast, TARPγ8 has minimal expression in the hindbrain, where drug effects are often associated with adverse events. As such, we believe RAP-219 has the potential for a differentiated profile as compared to traditional neuroscience medications. Due to the role of AMPA biology in various neurological disorders and our precision approach of selectively targeting TARPγ8, we believe RAP-219 has pipeline-in-a-product potential and we are evaluating it as a potentially transformational treatment for patients with focal onset seizures, bipolar disorder, and peripheral neuropathic pain.

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 of the human PET trial, which used the dosing regimen utilized in our 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 supported the use of such dosing regimen in the Phase 2a trial in drug-resistant focal onset seizures.
Current wording
Several Phase 1 trials in RAP-219 have been conducted in healthy adult volunteers, including a single ascending dose (“SAD”) trial; a multiple ascending dose (“MAD”) trial; a second MAD trial (“MAD-2”), to assess alternative dosing regimens that may accelerate time to reach therapeutic exposure; a positron emission tomography (“PET”) trial, which utilized a companion PET radiotracer to confirm brain target receptor occupancy (“RO”) and brain region specificity across a range of dosing and exposure levels.
Previous wording
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 wording
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 FOS. The trial met its primary and secondary endpoints. The trial demonstrated a statistically significant reduction in long episodes (“LEs”) – 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. In December 2025, we presented post-hoc analysis from the Phase 2a proof-of-concept trial showing treatment with RAP-219 had consistent effects in the first (weeks 1-4) and second (weeks 5-9) four-week segments of the treatment period. This demonstrates that there was a rapid onset of efficacy, and a consistent reduction in LEs, and a consistent, clinically meaningful reduction in clinical seizures throughout the 8-week treatment period. Following 8-weeks of RAP-219 treatment in the Phase 2a trial, patients entered an 8-week follow-up period to assess the durability effect on LEs and clinical seizures. In April 2026, we presented results from the 8-week follow-up period. Based on pharmacokinetic (“PK”) data collected across the Company’s Phase 1 and Phase 2 trials and further supported by population PK modeling, RAP-219 is now estimated to have a 22-day half-life, compared to the prior reported estimate of 14 days. Due to the long half-life, plasma concentrations of RAP-219 remained within the receptor occupancy therapeutic levels over the 8-week follow-up period, resulting in sustained biomarker and clinical responses consistent with the 8-week treatment period. In the first four weeks of follow-up (weeks 9-12), RAP-219 showed even greater reductions in LEs and clinical seizures than were observed during the 8-week treatment period. Clinically meaningful improvements over baseline continued through the second four weeks of follow-up (weeks 13-16).

Beyond TARPγ8, we have two advanced discovery-stage nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (“nAChR”) programs stemming from our RAP technology platform. The first comprises modulators of6 nAChRs that we are developing in chronic pain; and the second comprises modulators of910 nAChRs that we are developing in hearing disorders. Third-party genetic data suggest that these nAChR subtypes could be attractive drug targets for these diseases. We continue to leverage our RAP technology platform to discover additional product candidates that we believe have the potential to provide a transformative benefit for large patient populations with neurological or psychiatric diseases with unmet needs.
Current wording
We also have two advanced discovery-stage nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (“nAChR”) programs stemming from our RAP technology platform. nAChRs have been clinically validated in patient-reported neuropathic pain and our first advanced discovery-stage nAChR program comprises agonists of the α6ß4 nAChR. α6ß4 nAChRs are selectively expressed in sensory neurons, and the α6 subunit has human genetic validation in chronic pain. We have initiated IND-enabling activities for our α6β4 nAChR agonist development candidate, RAP-641, directed at a genetically validated precision target that we are pursuing as a potential novel non-opiate, non-CNS approach for chronic pain and migraine. The second advanced discovery-stage nAChR program comprises modulators of the α9α10 nAChR. Third-party preclinical genetic data suggest that this nAChR could be an attractive target in treating hearing and vestibular disorders. We continue to leverage our RAP technology platform to discover additional product candidates that we believe have the potential to provide transformative benefits for large patient populations with neurological or psychiatric diseases.

Since our inception, we have not recorded any income tax benefits for the net losses we have incurred in each year or for our research and development tax credits, as we believe, based upon the weight of available evidence, that it is more likely than not that all of our net operating losses (“NOLs”), carryforwards and tax credits will be not realized. As of December 31, 2024, we had federal NOL carryforwards of approximately $13.7 million and state NOL carryforwards of approximately $12.0 million, respectively. Federal losses have an indefinite carryforward period, but can only offset 80% of federal taxable income in a given year. Losses for state purposes begin to expire in 2043. As of December 31, 2024, we also had federal and state tax research and development credit carryforwards of approximately $3.8 million and $1.6 million, respectively, to offset future tax liabilities, which begin to expire in 2042 and 2037, respectively. We have recorded a full valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets at December 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2024, we had no unrecognized tax benefits. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we utilized $0.5 million of research and development tax credits as a reduction of payroll expenses to offset our payroll tax expenses.

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, concurrent private placement and the September 2025 Offering. To date, we have received aggregate gross proceeds of $711.9 million from the issuance of common stock, convertible promissory notes and the sale of our convertible preferred stock.

In July 2025, we filed a registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-288444) (the “Registration Statement”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to which we may issue up to $400.0 million in shares of our common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, warrants and/or units. As market conditions permit, we may offer and sell securities under the Registration Statement in order to fund our operations or provide additional liquidity. Concurrent with the filing of the Registration Statement, we entered into a common stock sales agreement, dated July 1, 2025, by and between the Company and Leerink Partners LLC and Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., acting as sales agents (the “Sales Agreement”), which established an at-the-market offering program pursuant to which we may offer and sell shares of our common stock from time to time (the “ATM Program”). In connection with the ATM Program, we also filed a prospectus with the Registration Statement for the offer and sale of up to $150.0 million of shares of common stock from time to time through the sales agents (the “ATM Prospectus”). Effective September 8, 2025, we terminated the ATM Prospectus, and as a result, we will not make any sales of common stock pursuant to the Sales Agreement, unless and until a new prospectus supplement or a new registration statement is filed. The Sales Agreement remains in full force and effect. As of September 8, 2025, we had not issued and sold any shares of common stock under the Sales Agreement.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, operating activities used $62.8 million of cash, resulting primarily from our net loss of $77.7 million, non-cash accretion of investments in marketable securities of $0.3 million, and changes in operating assets and liabilities of $0.1 million, partially offset by $13.2 million of non-cash stock-based compensation expense, $0.8 million of non-cash depreciation expense, and $1.5 million of non-cash lease expense. The $0.1 million change in operating assets and liabilities is primarily driven by an increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $2.6 million, primarily due to advanced payments on new contracts related to our clinical trials, a $0.1 million decrease in operating lease liabilities, and an increase in other assets of $0.9 million due to the payment of the security deposit for our new corporate headquarters lease and an up-front long-term clinical trial payment, partially offset by increases in accounts payable of $1.0 million and accrued expenses of $2.5 million due to increased expenditures and timing of payments to vendors.

As of September 30, 2025, we had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $513.0 million, excluding our restricted cash. As of the issuance date of the condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 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 into the second half of 2029. 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.

Until such time, if ever, as we can generate substantial product revenue to support our cost structure, we expect to finance our cash needs through equity offerings, debt financings, or other capital sources, potentially including collaborations, licenses, and other similar arrangements. However, we may be unable to raise additional funds or enter into such other arrangements when needed on favorable terms or at all. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, your ownership interest will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of our common stockholders. Additional debt financing and equity financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures, or declaring dividends. If we raise funds through collaborations, license arrangements, or other similar arrangements with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams, research programs or potential future product candidates or grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us and/or may reduce the value of our common stock. Our failure to raise capital or enter into such other arrangements when needed could have a negative impact on our financial condition and on our ability to pursue our business plans and strategies. If we are unable to raise additional funds through equity or debt financings, or through other sources when needed, we may be required to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our product development or future commercialization efforts or grant rights to develop and market our product candidates and potential future product candidates even if we would otherwise prefer to develop and market such potential future product candidates ourselves.
