Current report
ATMOSPHERE® and ASCENT®are multi-center, randomized, active-controlled trials evaluating sura-vec versus ranibizumab and aflibercept, respectively. The primary endpoint is non-inferiority based on change from baseline in best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) at 54 weeks and one year, respectively. Secondary endpoints include safety and tolerability, change in central retinal thickness (CRT) and need for supplemental anti-VEGF injections in the treatment arms.
Current report
In July 2026, we presented long-term follow-up data from the Phase I/IIa trial that demonstrated a durable safety and efficacy profile through five years, with participants in Cohorts 3 and 4, who received subretinal sura-vec at doses similar to those being studied in the ATMOSPHERE and ASCENT pivotal trials, demonstrating stable to improved visual acuity and meaningful reductions in anti-VEGF treatment burden, with the exception of one participant in Cohort 4 with polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy refractory to anti-VEGF therapy.
Current report
In July 2026, we presented long-term follow-up data from the Phase II ALTITUDE trial that showed, among other findings, that participants at dose level 3 (1.0×10¹² GC/eye) with short-course prophylactic topical steroids, the same dose being evaluated in the Phase IIb/III NAAVIGATE trial, maintained a durable safety and efficacy profile through 2.5 years. 55% of participants achieved >2-step improvement on the DRSS without additional treatment, and 70% of participants experienced no vision-threatening events. These data are consistent with previously presented two-year dose level 3 NPDR data from the ALTITUDE trial and support the potential of one-time in-office sura-vec to modify the underlying disease and decrease risk of vision-threatening events.
Current report
In June 2026, we announced we had completed dosing in the confirmatory study of RGX-202 and our plan to include in our planned BLA a safety dataset from the AFFINITY DUCHENNE pivotal and confirmatory studies (n=63) as well as efficacy data from the pivotal portion (n=30), including 12-month functional data for at least half of the total participants in the pivotal study.
Current report
We expect to initiate AFFINITY®RISE, a new, ex-U.S. randomized, placebo-controlled study to support RGX-202 global regulatory submissions, in the first half of 2027.
Current report
In June 2026, we announced alignment with the FDA regarding the next steps needed for a potential accelerated approval of RGX-121. During those discussions, the FDA acknowledged that the existing RGX-121 clinical data is sufficient to be considered for the accelerated approval pathway and that the Company does not need to enroll additional patients or conduct additional studies, including the FDA’s previously recommended incorporation of an untreated control arm. The FDA asked the Company to request a Type A meeting to review existing longer-term biomarker and clinical data and to resubmit the BLA following this meeting. The FDA stated that it would review our resubmission on an expedited basis, with labeling discussions to begin shortly following the resubmission.
Current report
In July 2026, we and the FDA held a positive Type A meeting during which the FDA reaffirmed that no additional studies of RGX-121 are required for BLA resubmission. We and the FDA aligned on resubmission requirements and we plan to resubmit the RGX-121 BLA in the third quarter of 2026. The resubmission will include longer-term efficacy and safety data, including participant imaging that has been submitted to FDA and continues to be collected and analyzed as part of ongoing RGX-121 safety monitoring. A post-approval confirmatory study will be discussed as part of BLA review.
Current report
In June 2026, we dosed the first patient in the NAAVIGATE trial, resulting in a $100.0 million development milestone payment from AbbVie which was fully recognized as license and royalty revenue in the second quarter of 2026. The $100.0 million milestone payment was recorded as accounts receivable as of June 30, 2026 and was received from AbbVie in July 2026.
Current report
License and Royalty Revenue. License and royalty revenue increased by $85.4 million, from $18.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 to $103.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026. The increase was primarily attributable to $100.0 million of license revenue recognized in the second quarter of 2026 upon the achievement of a development milestone under our sura-vec collaboration with AbbVie for the first patient dosed in the NAAVIGATE trial. The increase in license and royalty revenue was partially offset by a decrease in royalty revenues for the second quarter of 2026.

License and royalty revenue increased by $3.4 million, from $105.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 to $108.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026. The increase was primarily attributable to $100.0 million of license revenue recognized in the second quarter of 2026 upon the achievement of a development milestone under our sura-vec collaboration with AbbVie for the first patient dosed in the NAAVIGATE trial. The increase in license and royalty revenue was partially offset by $70.0 million of non-recurring, upfront license revenue recognized under our collaboration with Nippon Shinyaku in the first quarter of 2025, as well as a decrease in royalty revenues for the first half of 2026.
Current report
Combined Zolgensma and Itvisma royalties decreased by $26.5 million, from $35.4 million for the first half of 2025 to $8.9 million for the first half of 2026. Novartis reported combined Zolgensma and Itvisma sales of $667 million for the first half of 2026, as compared to $624 million for the first half of 2025. Per Novartis, sales growth was driven by continued launch momentum from Itvisma, and Zolgensma sales remained stable. Zolgensma royalties for the first half of 2026 were $6.5 million, a decrease of $28.9 million from the first half of 2025, which was primarily attributable to the expiration of licensed patents in the United States in January 2026. We are entitled to continued royalties on net sales of Zolgensma in approximately 20 countries where licensed patents remain active. Itvisma royalties for the first half of 2026 were $2.4 million. Itvisma was approved in the United States in the fourth quarter of 2025, with U.S. sales commencing in the first quarter of 2026. Itvisma is now also approved in the UAE, Japan, Qatar and the EU. Licensed patents covering the use of Itvisma have issued in the United States and certain other countries, and we are entitled to ongoing royalties on certain net sales of Itvisma in these territories.

We are developing ABBV-RGX-314 (surabgene lomparvovec, sura-vec) in collaboration with AbbVie as a potential one-time treatment for chronic retinal conditions that cause total or partial vision loss, including wet age-related macular degeneration (wet AMD) and diabetic retinopathy (DR). Sura-vec is currently being evaluated in multiple clinical trials, including two pivotal trials (ATMOSPHERE and ASCENT) where enrollment has been completed, one long-term follow-up study and a fellow eye sub-study in patients with wet AMD, all utilizing subretinal delivery. Additionally, two Phase II clinical trials in patients with wet AMD (AAVIATE) and DR (ALTITUDE) are ongoing along with two corresponding long-term follow-up studies, all utilizing in-office suprachoroidal delivery. Within the Phase II study in DR, we are also evaluating sura-vec in diabetic macular edema (DME). Additionally, we have activated U.S. clinical sites and initiated enrollment of a pivotal trial in DR and expect to dose the first patient in the two-part Phase IIb/III study (NAAVIGATE) in the second quarter of 2026. Sura-vec uses the NAV® AAV8 vector to deliver a gene encoding a therapeutic antibody fragment to inhibit vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). We have licensed certain exclusive rights to the SCS Microinjector® from Clearside Biomedical, Inc. (Clearside) to deliver gene therapy treatments to the suprachoroidal space of the eye.

In recent discussions with the FDA, the agency shared that the use of RGX-202 microdystrophin expression as a surrogate endpoint will be based on the correlation analysis with clinical outcomes, which has been clearly demonstrated in our interim data. While the FDA has recommended a randomized controlled trial, it has guided that externally controlled trials may be adequate for demonstrating substantial evidence of effectiveness, especially when the treatment effect is sufficiently large enough to overcome limitations of externally controlled trials. The FDA offered to review the RGX-202 data and alternative proposals. We plan to discuss this data with the FDA at a future meeting. We are also finalizing the trial design for a study of RGX-202 outside the United States to support global regulatory submissions.

General and Administrative Expense. General and administrative expenses increased by $1.0 million, from $20.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 to $21.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026. The increase was largely driven by personnel-related costs, consulting and other corporate advisory services.

Cost of license and royalty revenues increased by $7.6 million, from $3.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 to $11.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026. The increase was largely driven by a non-recurring charge of $10.0 million in the first quarter of 2026 related to a settlement with GlaxoSmithKline LLC (GSK) to resolve a dispute over sublicense fee obligations under our license agreement with GSK. For further information regarding the settlement agreement with GSK, please refer to Note 8, “Commitments and Contingencies—GlaxoSmithKline—GSK Settlement Agreement” to the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements.

Cost of license and royalty revenues increased by $3.5 million, from $8.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 to $12.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026. The increase was largely driven by a non-recurring charge of $10.0 million in the first quarter of 2026 related to a settlement with GlaxoSmithKline LLC (GSK) to resolve a dispute over sublicense fee obligations under our license agreement with GSK. For further information regarding the settlement agreement with GSK, please refer to Note 8, “Commitments and Contingencies—GlaxoSmithKline—GSK Settlement Agreement” to the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements. The increase in cost of license and royalty revenues was partially offset by a decrease in upstream royalties on net sales of Zolgensma, consistent with the decrease in Zolgensma royalty revenues.

Current wording
In December 2024, we entered into a Sales Agreement with Leerink Partners LLC (Leerink) pursuant to which we may offer and sell shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $150.0 million from time to time through Leerink, acting as our sales agent (the ATM Program). During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, we sold 2,318,735 shares of common stock under the ATM Program for aggregate net proceeds of $18.9 million, after deducting commissions and offering expenses. No shares of common stock were sold under the ATM Program prior to the second quarter of 2026.
Previous wording
We expect that our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $150.5 million as of March 31, 2026 will enable us to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements, and are sufficient to meet our financial commitments and obligations into early 2027. This estimate is based on our current operating plan, and excludes the potential effects of any future financings or material milestone payments that may be received under our licensing and collaboration arrangements. We have based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could exhaust our capital resources sooner than expected. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within 12 months from the issuance date of our consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2026, which accompany this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Our ability to continue as a going concern will depend heavily on the successful development, approval and commercialization of our product candidates and our ability to raise additional capital to fund operations. If we are unable to raise capital sufficient to meet our working capital needs in the future, we may be forced to delay expenditures, reduce the scope of our development activities or make other changes to our operating plans.
Current wording
We expect that our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $105.5 million as of June 30, 2026, along with the $100.0 million milestone payment received from AbbVie in July 2026 and the $107.8 million in net proceeds received from the public offering of common stock and pre-funded warrants in July 2026, are sufficient to fund operations into the fourth quarter of 2027. As such, we believe we have the ability to meet our obligations as they become due for at least the next 12 months from the date of this report. We have based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could exhaust our capital resources sooner than expected. Our ability to continue as a going concern will depend heavily on the successful development, approval and commercialization of our product candidates and our ability to raise additional capital to fund operations. If we are unable to raise capital sufficient to meet our working capital needs in the future, we may be forced to delay expenditures, reduce the scope of our development activities or make other changes to our operating plans.
Previous wording
Our net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 increased by $109.8 million from the three months ended March 31, 2025, largely driven by the $110.0 million up-front fee received from Nippon Shinyaku in March 2025 and an increase in operating expenses in the first quarter of 2026. We expect to continue to incur regular net cash outflows from operations for the foreseeable future as we continue the development and advancement of our product candidates and other research programs.
Current wording
Our net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2026 increased by $122.7 million from the six months ended June 30, 2025, largely driven by the $110.0 million up-front fee we received from Nippon Shinyaku in March 2025 and an increase in operating expenses in the first half of 2026. We expect to continue to incur regular net cash outflows from operations for the foreseeable future, which from time to time may be offset by non-recurring payments received under our license and collaboration arrangements, as we continue the development and advancement of our product candidates and other research programs.
Previous wording
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, our net cash used in operating activities of $76.2 million consisted of a net loss of $90.1 million and unfavorable changes in operating assets and liabilities of $1.5 million, offset by adjustments for non-cash items of $15.4 million. The changes in operating assets and liabilities include a decrease in accrued expenses and other current liabilities of $16.7 million, which was driven largely by decreases in accrued personnel-related expenses, royalties and sublicense fees, and external research and development services. The unfavorable changes in operating assets and liabilities were partially offset by a decrease in accounts receivable of $18.2 million, which was driven largely by royalties receivable on net sales of Zolgensma. Other changes in operating working capital occurred in the normal course of business. Adjustments for non-cash items primarily consisted of stock-based compensation expense of $8.6 million, depreciation and amortization expense of $3.9 million and non-cash interest expense of $3.8 million.

For the six months ended June 30, 2026, our net cash used in operating activities of $138.4 million consisted of a net loss of $67.3 million and unfavorable changes in operating assets and liabilities of $104.8 million, offset by adjustments for non-cash items of $33.7 million. The changes in operating assets and liabilities include an increase in accounts receivable of $78.5 million, which was driven primarily by the $100.0 million development milestone due from AbbVie as of June 30, 2026 and received in July 2026, and was partially offset by a $19.7 million decrease in royalties due from Novartis. The unfavorable changes in operating assets and liabilities also include a decrease in accrued expenses and other current liabilities of $15.6 million, which was driven largely by decreases in accrued personnel-related expenses, royalties and sublicense fees, and external research and development services.

Adjustments for non-cash items primarily consisted of stock-based compensation expense of $8.5 million and depreciation and amortization expense of $4.0 million, partially offset by the accretion of discounts on marketable debt securities during the period. The changes in operating assets and liabilities include an increase of $39.8 million in deferred revenue, which was driven primarily by the deferred portion of the $110.0 million up-front payment received under our collaboration with Nippon Shinyaku in the first quarter of 2025. The favorable changes in operating assets and liabilities were partially offset by a decrease in total accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities of $18.1 million, which was driven largely by decreases in accrued personnel-related expenses, royalties and external research and development services, as well as a total increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $4.3 million, which was driven primarily by increases in prepaid software licenses and net cost reimbursement due from AbbVie under our ABBV-RGX-314 collaboration. Other changes in operating working capital occurred in the normal course of business.

Previous wording
We have incurred cumulative losses since our inception and had an accumulated deficit of $1.22 billion as of March 31, 2026. Our transition to recurring profitability is dependent upon achieving a level of revenues adequate to support our cost structure, which depends heavily on the successful development, approval and commercialization of our product candidates. We do not expect to achieve such revenues, and expect to continue to incur losses, for at least the next several years. We expect to continue to incur significant research and development and general and administrative expenses for the foreseeable future as we continue the development of, and seek regulatory approval for, our product candidates. Subject to obtaining regulatory approval for our product candidates, we expect to incur significant commercialization expenses for product sales, marketing, manufacturing and distribution. Additionally, we expect to continue to incur capital expenditures associated with building out additional laboratory and manufacturing capacity to further support the development of our product candidates and potential commercialization efforts. As a result, we will need significant additional capital to fund our operations, which we may obtain through one or more equity offerings, debt financings or other third-party funding, including potential strategic alliances and licensing or collaboration arrangements.
