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.

The decrease was due to lower external research and development costs, driven by a decrease of $7.0 million in ELVN-002 costs due to our decision not to pursue further development of the program and $0.7 million in other external costs mainly related to lower research costs, partially offset by an increase of $2.8 million in ELVN-001 costs due to clinical progression.
