Current report
We are a clinical-stage biotechnology company discovering and developing masked immuno-oncology, or I-O, therapies with the goal of significantly improving outcomes for people living with cancer. Leveraging our clinically-validated masking technology and capabilities, we are developing I-O therapies designed to selectively activate within the tumor microenvironment to achieve durable efficacy without the severe side effects associated with systemically active I-O agents. Our integrated biology and protein engineering approach enables us to design and develop highly potent, masked biologics that are activated, or unmasked, by tumor-specific proteases within the tumor microenvironment. We are currently advancing multiple programs in preclinical and clinical development, including masked multi-specifics, and our clinically-validated masking technology has enabled us to establish top-tier strategic partnerships, including with AbbVie Group Holdings Limited, or AbbVie, and Gilead Sciences, Inc., or Gilead.
Current report
As a result, we will need substantial additional capital to support our continuing operations and pursue our strategy. As of March 31, 2026, we had cash and cash equivalents of $150.3 million. In the second quarter of 2026, we achieved a $6.0 million development milestone related to the collaboration agreement with AbbVie. Based on our current operating plans, we anticipate that our existing cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2026, together with the development milestone achieved under the AbbVie collaboration in the second quarter of 2026, will be sufficient to enable us to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements into early 2028. This estimate excludes any potential additional milestone payments, option-related fees or other contingent payments under our existing collaboration and partnership agreements with AbbVie and Gilead and excludes the potential receipt of up to $36.2 million in additional gross proceeds in the second half of 2026 if all outstanding Series C warrants are exercised at their current exercise price.

Previous report
We are a clinical-stage biotechnology company discovering and developing tumor-activated, or masked, immuno-oncology, or I-O, therapies with the goal of significantly improving outcomes for people living with cancer without the systemic side effects of current I-O treatments. We are leveraging our proprietary platform to advance a pipeline of novel, tumor-activated I-O molecules that are designed to optimize the therapeutic index by localizing anti-tumor activity within the tumor microenvironment, including masked antibodies, bispecifics, cytokines and immune cell engagers. Current I-O therapies have curative potential for patients with cancer. However, their potential is significantly curtailed by systemic toxicity that results from activity of the therapeutic molecule outside the tumor microenvironment. Our molecules are engineered to localize activity within the tumor microenvironment with minimal systemic effects, resulting in the potential to achieve enhanced anti-tumor activity and increasing the population of patients who may be eligible to receive our medicines. To date, we have presented data across our clinical-stage programs showing clinical validation for our tumor-activation platform. Our most advanced clinical-stage product candidates are vilastobart, a tumor-activated, Fc-enhanced anti-CTLA-4 monoclonal antibody, or mAb, and efarindodekin alfa (XTX301), a tumor-activated, engineered interleukin 12, or IL-12, therapy. We are currently advancing clinical development for vilastobart in combination with atezolizumab (Tecentriq®) in a Phase 2 clinical trial in patients with microsatellite stable metastatic colorectal cancer, or MSS mCRC, under a co-funded clinical trial collaboration with F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd, or Roche. In November 2025, we announced new data from the ongoing Phase 2 clinical trial at the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer (SITC) 40 th Annual Meeting in patients with MSS mCRC without liver metastases and high plasma tumor mutational burden, or TMB, and we anticipate reporting additional data from the Phase 2 trial in the first half of 2026. Based on the promising clinical activity and safety profile demonstrated by vilastobart to date as a combination therapy, including in patients who had high plasma TMB, we are actively seeking a partner to develop vilastobart in combination with PD-(L)1 or PD1-VEGF in MSS mCRC and other tumor types. For efarindodekin alfa, in the third quarter of 2025, we initiated a Phase 2 trial in patients with advanced solid tumors and achieved a $17.5 million development milestone under our exclusive license agreement with Gilead Sciences, Inc., or Gilead. We have completed enrollment in the Phase 1A monotherapy dose escalation and Phase 1B monotherapy dose expansion portions of our ongoing Phase 1/2 clinical trial, and evaluation of patients is ongoing. In addition to our clinical-stage product candidates, we are leveraging our proprietary tumor-activation platform to advance multiple prec…

Other income (expense), net of $0.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 included $2.3 million of the issuance costs we incurred in connection with the sale and issuance of the prefunded warrants and common stock warrants in June 2025 in connection with our follow-on public offering, which were allocated to the common stock warrant liabilities and were partially offset by $2.5 million of interest income. Other income (expense), net of $1.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 consisted of interest income.
Previous report
Since our inception, we have incurred significant operating losses and negative cash flows from operations. We have not yet commercialized any of our product candidates, which are in preclinical or early clinical development, and we do not expect to generate revenue from sales of any products for several years, if at all. To date, we have financed our operations primarily from proceeds raised through private placements of preferred units, convertible preferred stock, common stock and prefunded warrants; sales of common stock in our IPO and through at-the-market offerings; the sale of prefunded warrants and common stock warrants in a follow-on public offering; and upfront payments under our collaboration and license agreements with AbbVie and Gilead. Through September 30, 2025, we have received an aggregate of $531.8 million in gross proceeds from such transactions, including $224.5 million in gross proceeds from the sale and issuance of preferred units and convertible preferred stock, $129.9 million in gross proceeds from our IPO, $72.0 million in upfront cash payments under our collaboration and license agreements with AbbVie and Gilead, $46.3 million in gross proceeds from the sale and issuance of common stock and prefunded warrants in private placements with certain existing accredited investors, Gilead and AbbVie, $9.1 million in gross proceeds from the sale and issuance of common stock through at-the-market offerings and $50.0 million in gross proceeds from the sale of prefunded warrants and common stock warrants through a follow-on public offering. As of September 30, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $103.8 million. In the fourth quarter of 2025, we received a $17.5 million development milestone under our license agreement with Gilead. Based on our current operating plans, we anticipate that our existing cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2025, together with the $17.5 million development milestone received under our license agreement with Gilead, will be sufficient to enable us to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements into the first quarter of 2027.
Previous report
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, net cash provided by financing activities of $21.0 million consisted of proceeds from the sale and issuance of common stock and prefunded warrants in private placements with certain existing accredited investors and Gilead and proceeds from the sale and issuance of common stock under our at-the-market offering program, partially offset by repayments of debt principal under our loan agreement with PacWest and payments on our finance lease for certain lab equipment.
Previous report
As of September 30, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $103.8 million. Based on our current operating plans, we anticipate that our existing cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2025, together with the $17.5 million development milestone received under our license agreement with Gilead, will be sufficient to enable us to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements into the first quarter of 2027. However, we have based our estimates on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could exhaust our available capital resources sooner than we anticipate. In addition, we expect our operating losses and negative operating cash flows to continue for the foreseeable future as we continue to advance our pipeline of novel, tumor-activated I-O molecules through preclinical and clinical development, maintain the infrastructure necessary to support these activities and continue to incur costs associated with operating as a public company. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. In order to fund our operations, we will need to raise additional capital, which could be obtained through the cash exercise of the Series B warrants and Series C warrants issued in connection with our June 2025 follow-on public offering, the receipt of milestone payments, option-related fees or other contingent payments under our existing agreements with Gilead and AbbVie, additional public or private equity offerings, debt financings, additional collaborations, partnerships or licensing arrangements or other sources. However, there can be no assurance that we will receive additional proceeds from the exercise of the common stock warrants or from contingent payments under our existing agreements with Gilead or AbbVie or that we will be able to complete any such transaction on acceptable terms or otherwise. If we are not able to secure sufficient additional capital when needed, we may need to implement additional cost reduction strategies, which could include delaying, limiting, further reducing or eliminating both internal and external costs related to our operations and research and development programs. For more information regarding our liquidity and going concern, refer to Note 1 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. For more information regarding the terms of the warrants we issued in our June 2025 follow-on public offering, refer to Note 8 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

To date, we have financed our operations primarily from proceeds raised through private placements of preferred units, convertible preferred stock, common stock and prefunded warrants; sales of common stock in our initial public offering, or IPO, and through “at-the-market” offerings; the sale of prefunded warrants and common stock warrants in a follow-on public offering; and upfront payments under our collaboration and license agreements with AbbVie and Gilead. We have not generated any revenue from product sales and do not expect to generate any revenue from product sales for at least the next several years, if at all. All of our programs are in early clinical or preclinical development. Our ability to generate product revenue sufficient to achieve profitability will depend heavily on the successful development and eventual commercialization of one or more of our product candidates, if approved. Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with product development, we are unable to predict the timing or amount of increased expenses or when or if we will be able to achieve profitability. Even if we are able to generate revenue from product sales, we may not become profitable.

Research and development activities are central to our business model. Product candidates in later stages of clinical development generally have higher development costs than those in earlier stages of clinical development, primarily due to the increased size and duration of later-stage clinical trials. We expect that our research and development expenses will remain approximately the same or will continue to increase for the foreseeable future as we advance our programs and our current or future product candidates into and through the development phase. We expect our discovery research efforts and our related personnel costs to remain consistent with historical levels. In addition, as we progress our most advanced product candidates in clinical development, we may incur additional expenses related to milestone and royalty payments payable to third parties with whom we have entered into, or may enter into license, acquisition, option or other agreements to acquire the rights to future products and product candidates. In the event we are unable to raise sufficient additional capital to fund our operations, we may need to implement cost reduction strategies that seek to maintain our ability to continue the development of our most advanced product candidates in clinical development while otherwise reducing our overall research and development expenses.

Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported revenue and expenses incurred during the reporting periods. Our estimates are based on our historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Except as described in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there have been no changes to our critical accounting policies appearing in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, other than the estimates required in determining the fair value of the common stock warrant liabilities that are described in Note 3 to the condensed consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

In addition, the JOBS Act provides that an EGC can take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. This provision allows an EGC to delay the adoption of some accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected not to “opt out” of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, we can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard and may do so until such time that we either (1) irrevocably elect to “opt out” of such extended transition period or (2) no longer qualify as an emerging growth company. As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.

Since our inception, we have incurred significant operating losses and negative cash flows from operations. We have not yet commercialized any of our product candidates, which are in preclinical or early clinical development, and we do not expect to generate revenue from sales of any products for several years, if at all. To date, we have financed our operations primarily from proceeds raised through private placements of equity securities; sales of common stock in our IPO, and through “at-the-market” offerings; the sale of prefunded warrants in our June 2025 and February 2026 follow-on offerings; the exercise of certain common stock warrants issued in connection with our June 2025 follow-on offering; development event payments under our co-funded clinical trial collaboration with Roche; and upfront and milestone payments under our collaboration and license agreements with AbbVie and Gilead. All of our programs are in early clinical or preclinical development. As a result, we have not generated any revenue from product sales and do not expect to generate any revenue from product sales for at least the next several years, if at all. Our ability to generate product revenue sufficient to achieve profitability will depend heavily on the successful development and eventual commercialization of one or more of our product candidates, if approved. Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with product development, we are unable to predict the timing or amount of increased expenses or when or if we will be able to achieve profitability. Even if we are able to generate revenue from product sales, we may not become profitable.

In addition, we have based our estimates on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could exhaust our available capital resources sooner than we anticipate. In addition, we expect our operating losses and negative operating cash flows to continue for the foreseeable future as we continue to advance our pipeline of novel, masked I-O molecules through preclinical and clinical development, maintain the infrastructure necessary to support these activities and continue to incur costs associated with operating as a public company.
