Current report
We announced completion of enrollment in the SIGNAL-AA Part B clinical trial in October 2025. In May 2026, we announced that the first patient had been dosed in the OLE portion of Part B.
Current report
In July 2026, we announced 36-week topline results from the SIGNAL-AA Part B trial. The prespecified primary efficacy analysis was evaluated on the basis of mean percentage change from baseline in SALT scores in the modified intent-to-treat (“mITT”) population at Week 36. Additional prespecified 36-week efficacy analyses included the proportion of patients achieving various relative and absolute SALT improvements including SALT-20 (80% of scalp hair coverage), SALT30 (30% improvement in SALT score from baseline), and SALT50 (50% improvement in SALT score from baseline) responses at Week 36, with off-drug follow-up through Week 52.
Current report
Key topline efficacy results from Part B of SIGNAL-AA at Week 36 include:
Current report
Mean percent reduction in SALT score from baseline of 35.3% in the mITT analysis.
Current report
40.0% (10/25) of patients in the mITT analysis and 30.3% (10/33) of patients in the intent-to-treat (“ITT”) analysis of all enrolled patients achieved a SALT20 response. Achievement of a SALT20 response was observed in patients with both severe and very severe disease.
Current report
44.0% (11/25) of patients in the mITT analysis and 33.3% (11/33) of patients in the ITT analysis achieved SALT30 response.
Current report
44.0% (11/25) of patients in the mITT and 33.3% (11/33) of patients in the ITT analysis achieved SALT50 response.
Current report
Early signs of durability in the off-drug period include maintenance or deepening of response in multiple patients including one who achieved complete hair growth (SALT = 0).
Current report
Bempikibart was observed to have a generally well-tolerated safety profile in SIGNAL-AA Part B, consistent with prior studies. No new safety signals were observed. There were no serious adverse events or Grade 3 or higher adverse events related to treatment. The most common treatment-emergent adverse event was injection site reaction (“ISR”) (36.3%) which were primarily singular events, with ISR incidence of 4% across all Part B dose administrations. All ISRs reported were mild and resolved with no intervention, with the majority resolving within a day.
Current report
Bempikibart demonstrated a favorable PK, pharmacodynamic and ADA profile in Part B. PK data from Part B support the loading dose regimen had its intended effect, achieving steady state concentrations approximately 10 weeks earlier than in Part A. Negligible ADA was observed in Part B.
Current report
The Part B off-drug follow-up period through Week 52 remains ongoing. We plan to report additional details from the Week 36 results as well as initial findings from Week 52 at a future medical meeting. Additionally, enrollment of eligible patients into the OLE remains ongoing. We expect to report completed OLE results in the second half of 2027.
Current report
We intend to advance bempikibart into a registration-directed program in the first half of 2027 following planned regulatory discussions later this year.
Current report
SIGNAL-AA Part A OLE
Current report
Following the emergence of Part A data suggesting durability of response in the off-drug follow-up from SIGNAL-AA Part A and given patient demand for continued dosing, we announced the initiation of an OLE in April 2025. The Part A OLE has been completed. Eight patients enrolled in the Part A OLE, spanning responders, non-responders, and placebo patients from the Part A treatment portion. Patients were off-drug for various time periods ranging from 26 to 55 weeks prior to re-dosing. In the Part A OLE, bempikibart continued to demonstrate a generally well-tolerated safety profile with longer-term dosing and no new safety issues. Patients who maintained hair at entry to the OLE were observed to have durable or further hair growth. In totality, the Part A OLE dataset supports the importance of a maintenance dosing regimen.
Current report
ADX-914-XL
Current report
In addition to bempikibart, we are also advancing ADX-914-XL, which is a half-life extended fully human anti-IL-7Rα antibody designed to re-regulate adaptive immune function by blocking IL-7 and TSLP signaling. Developed using half-life extension technology, ADX-914-XL is designed to provide the clinical activity and safety profile observed to date with bempikibart while offering an extended dosing schedule. ADX-914-XL is advancing in pre-clinical development.

Corporate Updates
Current report
On July 16, 2026, pursuant to a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-297027), we completed a public offering (the “Follow-On Financing”) wherein we sold 6,027,399 shares of our common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “common stock”), at a public offering price of $18.25 per share and pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 4,931,506 shares of our common stock at a public offering price of $18.2499 per pre-funded warrant. We received net proceeds of $187.6 million from the Follow-On Financing, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses. In addition, we granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 1,643,835 shares of our common stock at the public offering price of $18.25 per share, less underwriting discounts and commissions.
Current report
On June 24, 2026, we paid off the remaining balance in the amount of approximately $6.8 million under our Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Silicon Valley Bank, a division of First-Citizens Bank & Trust Company (“SVB”), pursuant to a Pay-Off Letter between us and SVB dated June 24, 2026. Accordingly, the Loan Agreement has been terminated.
Current report
On May 28, 2026, we completed a private placement (the “Private Placement”) of our common stock and pre-funded warrants to purchase shares of our common stock. We sold 6,725,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $8.00 per share and pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 150,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $7.9999 per pre-funded warrant and received net proceeds of $53.4 million, after deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses.
Current report
General and administrative expenses were $4.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $4.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase of $0.9 million was primarily due to higher stock-based compensation expense and other operating expenses in the three months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025.
Current report
Loss on Extinguishment of Debt
Current report
On June 24, 2026, we paid off the remaining balance of our venture debt in the amount of approximately $6.8 million and recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $0.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2026.
Current report
Other Income (Expense), Net
Current report
Comparison of the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025
Current report
The decrease in personnel-related and consulting costs was primarily related to lower headcount in the six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the prior year associated with the Restructuring Plan in February 2025. Personnel-related and consulting costs for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 included stock-based compensation expense of $0.4 million and $0.5 million, respectively.
Current report
General and administrative expenses were $9.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $9.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase of $0.3 million was primarily due to higher stock-based compensation expense and other operating expenses in the six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025, partially offset by lower corporate legal and audit fees.
Current report
Loss on Extinguishment of Debt
Current report
On June 24, 2026, we paid off the remaining balance of our venture debt in the amount of approximately $6.8 million and recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $0.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2026.
Current report
Other income was $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $0.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. Other income for the six months ended June 30, 2026 included interest income of $1.0 million, partially offset by interest expense related to our venture debt of $0.4 million, whereas other income for the six months ended June 30, 2025 included interest income of $1.3 million as well as a gain recorded for the change in fair value of the CVR liability of $0.4 million, partially offset by interest expense related to our venture debt of $0.6 million. The overall decrease in other income of $0.4 million was primarily related to higher interest income in the prior year due to higher interest rates as well as the gain recorded in the prior year for the change in fair value of the CVR liability.

Previous report
We announced completion of enrollment in the SIGNAL-AA Part B clinical trial in October 2025. We enrolled 33 patients in the SIGNAL-AA Part B trial and dosing remains ongoing. We expect to report 36-week topline data from the SIGNAL-AA Part B trial in mid-2026.
Previous report
Following completion of the SIGNAL-AA Part B trial through 52 weeks, eligible patients can enter an open-label extension (“OLE”) period to enable longer-term follow-up and continued dosing. The first patient has been dosed in the OLE portion of Part B.
Previous report
In April 2025, we announced the initiation of an OLE trial for eligible patients that completed Part A to enable longer-term follow-up of patients. The OLE trial is complete, and we intend to report findings from the trial with the Part B 36-week topline results in mid-2026.

Fast Track designation
Previous report
In April 2025, we announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) has granted Fast Track designation (“FTD”) to bempikibart for the treatment of AA. FTD is a process designed to facilitate the development and expedite the review of new drugs to treat serious diseases and fill an unmet medical need with the purpose of getting important new drugs to patients earlier. A drug that receives FTD may be eligible for more frequent meetings and communications with the FDA to discuss development plans and ensure the collection of appropriate data needed to support approval and for a rolling review of an application for marketing approval.

General and administrative expenses were $4.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $5.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease of $0.6 million was primarily due to lower legal and consulting costs as compared to the prior year.
Reworded paragraphs (17)
Previous wording
In April 2025, we announced dosing of the first patients in Part B of the SIGNAL-AA Phase 2a clinical trial. The Part B portion of SIGNAL-AA is an open-label clinical trial dosing severe or very severe AA patients with a maximum duration of current episode of four years. Patients will be treated with bempikibart for 36 weeks, with follow-up out to 52 weeks. Dosing includes an initial loading regimen of 200mg of bempikibart dosed weekly for four doses, followed by a maintenance dose of 200mg every-other-week over a 32-week period for a total dosing period of 36 weeks. Efficacy will be evaluated on the basis of mean percentage change from baseline in Severity of Alopecia Tool (“SALT”) scores as well as the proportion of subjects achieving various relative and absolute SALT score improvements at week 36, with follow-up through week 52. The trial is intended to support advancement into pivotal trials upon completion, pending review of the results.
Current wording
In April 2025, we announced dosing of the first patient in Part B of the SIGNAL-AA Phase 2a clinical trial. The Part B portion of SIGNAL-AA is an open-label clinical trial that enrolled 33 patients with severe or very severe AA (baseline Severity of Alopecia Tool (“SALT”) scores of 50-100), with a maximum duration of current episode of four years. Enrollment amongst patients with prior exposure to JAK inhibitor therapy was allowed; amongst the 33 enrolled patients, 36.4% had previously been treated with oral JAK inhibitors. Total enrollment exceeded the initial target due to patient demand. Patients are treated with bempikibart for 36 weeks, with off-drug follow-up through Week 52 before optional enrollment in an open-label extension (“OLE”). Dosing includes an initial loading regimen of 200mg of bempikibart dosed weekly for four doses, followed by a maintenance dose of 200mg every-other-week over a 32-week period for a total dosing period of 36 weeks. Across both regimens, bempikibart was administered subcutaneously.
Previous wording
In addition to bempikibart, our strategy has been focused on the advancement of our proprietary tissue-targeted complement inhibitor platform. ADX-097, a Phase 2 asset from this platform, is a humanized anti-C3d monoclonal antibody (“mAb”) fusion protein that completed Phase 1 clinical trials. However, in February 2025, we announced a corporate restructuring to focus on the advancement of bempikibart for the treatment of patients with AA. On November 28, 2025, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Akebia Therapeutics, Inc. (“Akebia”) pursuant to which we sold to Akebia substantially all of our assets related to the research, development, manufacture and commercialization of ADX-097 (the “ADX-097 Asset Sale”). Following the ADX-097 Asset Sale, Akebia is now responsible for any future development and commercialization of ADX-097. As consideration for the ADX-097 Asset Sale, we received an upfront payment of $7.0 million and will receive a payment of $3.0 million on the six-month anniversary of the transaction. We will also receive a near-term milestone payment of $2.0 million upon the earlier of achievement of the first milestone under the Asset Purchase Agreement or December 31, 2026. In addition to these payments, we are eligible to receive up to $580 million upon the achievement of specified milestones, including up to $92.5 million related to development and regulatory milestones and up to $487.5 million related to commercial milestones. We are also eligible to receive tiered royalties on potential future sales of ADX-097 ranging from low single-digit to mid-teen percentages of annual net sales. The royalties will expire on a country-by-country basis on the later to occur of (a) the date of expiration of the last-to-expire valid claim of any transferred patent right that covers such product in such country, and (b) the tenth anniversary of the first commercial sale of such product.

On March 27, 2026, we entered into a Controlled Equity Offering SM Sales Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. (the “Sales Agent”), with respect to an at-the-market (“ATM”) offering program pursuant to which we may offer and sell, from time to time at our sole discretion, shares of our common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Shares”), through the Sales Agent. The Shares to be offered and sold under the Sales Agreement, if any, will be offered and sold pursuant to our shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-286491), which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 11, 2025 and declared effective by the SEC on April 21, 2025. We filed a prospectus supplement with the SEC on March 27, 2026, pursuant to which we may offer and sell Shares having an aggregate offering price of up to $14.2 million pursuant to the Sales Agreement. There were no shares of common stock sold pursuant to the ATM during the three months ended March 31, 2026. On March 31, 2026, there remained $14.2 million of common stock available for sale under the ATM. Subsequent to March 31, 2026, we sold 2,326,952 shares of common stock and received net proceeds of $13.8 million pursuant to the ATM, and we also filed an additional prospectus supplement with the SEC on April 24, 2026, pursuant to which we may offer and sell additional Shares having an aggregate offering price of up to $75 million pursuant to the Sales Agreement.

During the six months ended June 30, 2026, we sold 2,326,952 shares of our common stock and received gross proceeds of $14.2 million pursuant to the ATM. On April 24, 2026, we filed an additional prospectus supplement with the SEC, pursuant to which we may offer and sell additional shares having an aggregate offering price of up to $75 million pursuant to the Sales Agreement. As of June 30, 2026, there have been no shares sold under this additional prospectus supplement.
Previous wording
As of March 31, 2026, we had cash and cash equivalents of $50.8 million. We expect that our cash and cash equivalents, combined with proceeds received under the ATM subsequent to March 31, 2026, and guaranteed near-term milestone payments from the ADX-097 Asset Sale, will be sufficient to enable us to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements into the first half of 2028. This estimate is based on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could use our capital resources sooner than currently anticipated.
Current wording
As of June 30, 2026, we had cash and cash equivalents of $106.3 million. We expect that our cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2026, combined with proceeds received from the Follow-On Financing subsequent to June 30, 2026, will be sufficient to enable us to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements through topline Phase 3 results of bempikibart from our planned registration-directed program.

Other income was $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease of $1.1 million was primarily related to a gain recorded in the prior year for the change in fair value of the CVR liability of $1.0 million, as well as higher interest income in the prior year due to a higher average cash balance for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Current wording
Other income was $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to other expense of $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The change of $0.6 million was primarily related to a loss recorded in the prior year for the change in fair value of the CVR liability.
Previous wording
Research and development expenses were $3.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $7.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease of $3.9 million was primarily due to a decrease of $1.5 million in spend related to our bempikibart program due to higher costs in the prior year as we were incurring close-out costs related to our SIGNAL-AD clinical trial, as well as a decrease of $0.6 million in direct research and development expenses due to the sale of ADX-097 to Akebia in November 2025.
Current wording
Research and development expenses were $7.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $12.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease in direct research and development expenses was primarily due to a decrease of $1.5 million in ADX-097 expenses due to the sale of ADX-097 to Akebia in November 2025, as well as a decrease of $0.9 million in bempikibart development costs.
Previous wording
