General and administrative expenses were $15.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $13.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, an increase of $1.4 million.

Previous wording

We are a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery and development of small molecule therapeutics to help people not only live longer, but live better. We aim to address existing and emerging unmet needs with a precision medicine approach that improves survival and enhances overall well-being. Our discovery process combines deep insights into clinically validated biological targets and differentiated chemistry with the goal of designing therapies for unmet needs. By combining clinically validated targets and specific target product profiles with disciplined clinical trial design and regulatory strategy, we aim to develop drugs that address unmet needs with an increased probability of clinical and commercial success. Validated targets are those whose role in disease pathology have been demonstrated by mechanistic and clinical studies. We are currently advancing ELVN-001, as well as pursuing multiple additional research-stage opportunities that align with our small molecule development approach. To prioritize the advancement of ELVN-001 and its upcoming pivotal trial, we are exploring strategic alternatives for the ELVN-002 program and are no longer pursuing its development.
