Research and Development Expenses
Current report
Research and development expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2026 were $12.6 million compared to $9.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in program costs of $1.9 million was primarily due to increased clinical trial costs related to our Phase 2b dose-finding AD study that began in 2025, partially offset by a decrease in manufacturing costs. Personnel-related costs increased by $0.5 million due primarily to overall compensation increases. Increased stock-based compensation expense of $0.2 million was due primarily to new equity grants after the closing of the Merger.

Previous wording
We are a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing therapeutics for patients with immunological, autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. Our lead asset, IMG-007, is a non-depleting anti-OX40 monoclonal antibody that binds specifically to OX40 receptor on activated T cells to block receptor binding to OX40 ligand (“OX40L”). IMG-007 is being developed to potentially treat multiple autoimmune and inflammatory diseases and disorders, with initial evaluation in AD and AA. OX40 signaling is thought to be important in driving the pathogenesis of a spectrum of immunological, autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, including additional dermatological diseases, respiratory, gastrointestinal, and rheumatic diseases. IMG-007 is initially being developed for the treatment of AD and AA, and we believe it has further “pipeline within a product” potential. We may explore additional indications with IMG-007 such as asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, and hidradenitis suppurativa, among others.

Previous wording
We expect to initiate a Phase 2 study in AA by the end of 2026. The study objectives will be characterization of the benefit-risk of IMG-007 and dose selection for future pivotal studies. We expect to have initial data from the Phase 2 study in AA in 2028.

Previous wording
We expect to continue to incur significant expenses for the foreseeable future as we seek to advance IMG-007 through clinical development, including in additional indications, complete clinical trials, seek regulatory approval and, if we receive regulatory approval, commercialize our products. Furthermore, the costs of advancing product candidates into each succeeding clinical phase tend to increase substantially over time. The total costs to advance IMG-007 or any future product candidate to regulatory approval in even a single jurisdiction would be substantial. Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with product development, we are unable to accurately predict the timing or amount of increased expenses.
