| Total research and development expenses | $ | 57,785 | $ | 43,902 | $ | 13,883 | 32% |
Research and development expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2026 increased by $13.9 million, or 32%, compared to the same period in 2025. The increase primarily reflects (i) the continued execution of our clinical development strategy, including ongoing activities supporting our pivotal Phase 3 OPERA-01 and OPERA-02 trials for palazestrant, continued advancement of our Phase 1 OP-3136 clinical program, and increased manufacturing and clinical supply activities supporting these programs, and (ii) increased personnel-related costs, including higher non-cash stock-based compensation expense associated with equity awards granted at higher market prices and increased headcount to support our expanding development activities. These increases were partially offset by the $10.0 million milestone expense related to Aurigene that was recognized in the same period in 2025.
General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2026 increased by $5.4 million, or 137%, compared to the same period in 2025. The increase primarily reflects the continued investment in personnel and corporate infrastructure to support our expanding late-stage clinical development activities and anticipated future commercial operations, including higher non-cash stock-based compensation of $3.0 million associated with equity awards granted at higher market prices, and increased professional fees of $1.8 million.
Other loss
Other loss for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was primarily attributable to unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.

Research and development expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2026 increased by $32.5 million, or 44%, compared to the same period in 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to (i) the increased spending on clinical development-related activities as we continued to advance palazestrant through late-stage clinical trials and OP-3136 in early-stage clinical studies, as well as (ii) the increased personnel-related costs, including higher non-cash stock-based compensation expense associated with equity awards granted at higher market prices and increased headcount to support our expanding development activities. These increases were partially offset by the absence of $10.0 million of milestone expense related to Aurigene in 2026 that was recognized in the same period in 2025.
General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2026 increased by $9.9 million, or 121%, compared to the same period in 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to (i) a $5.5 million increase in non-cash stock based compensation expense associated with equity awards granted at higher market prices, (ii) a $2.8 million increase in professional fees associated with build-out of our corporate infrastructure to support the continued growth, and (iii) a $1.1 million increase in payroll related costs related to increased headcount.
Other loss
Other loss for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was primarily attributable to unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.
Liquidity and capital resources
Sources of liquidity
Since our inception, we have not generated any revenue from product sales and have incurred significant operating losses and negative cash flows from our operations. Our net losses were $116.3 million and $74.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. From our inception through June 30, 2026, we had received aggregate net proceeds of $1.1 billion from sales of our common stock, convertible preferred stock and issuance of convertible promissory notes, stock option exercises, sale of stock through the Company’s 2020 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP), and borrowings under our Credit Facility, as defined below.
As of June 30, 2026, we had $461.1 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities and accumulated deficit of $713.8 million.
On September 5, 2023, we entered into a loan and security agreement (the Original Loan Agreement) with Silicon Valley Bank, a division of First Citizens Bank & Trust Company (the Bank), which provided us with an aggregate principal amount of up to $50.0 million (the Original Credit Facility), of which $25.0 million became available in September 2023 (Term Loan A) upon the closing of a private placement and the issuance of our common stock to selected institutional and accredited investors pursuant to a securities purchase agreement, and the remaining $25.0 million could have been made available upon approval of the Bank in its discretion. The Original Credit Facility was scheduled to mature on August 1, 2027. On June 28, 2024, we entered into the First Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement (the First Amendment) with the Bank, which, among other things, (i) increased the aggregate principal amount of the Original Credit Facility from up to $50.0 million to up to $100.0 million (the Credit Facility) of which the Term Loan A of $25.0 million was immediately available, an additional $25.0 million became available upon achieving certain milestones related to the execution of a first-line pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial of palazestrant in combination with ribociclib (Term Loan B), and an additional $50.0 million which may be made available upon the approval of the Bank in its discretion (Term Loan C), and (ii) extended the maturity date to July 1, 2028. On June 27, 2025, we entered into a Second Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement (the Second Amendment) with the Bank, which, among other things, (i) decreased the interest rate to a floating rate equal to the greater of 6.0% or the prime rate, and (ii) extended the draw period of Term Loan A to January 15, 2026. As of June 30, 2026, we had an outstanding liability of $3.0 million under the Credit Facility, representing the full amount drawn to date. On January 11, 2026, we entered into the Third Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement (the Third Amendment), which, among other things, (i) extended the draw period of Term Loan A to January 31, 2027, (ii) extended the draw period of Term Loan B to January 31, 2027, (iii) extended the draw period of Term Loan C to January 31, 2027, and (iv) extended the Maturity Date to January 1, 2029 (Maturity Date). Based on the occurrence of specified (a) development milestones related to the pivotal Phase 3 OPERA-01 clinical trial of palazestrant or (b) receipt of proceeds from capital financing, the draw period of Term Loan B and Term Loan C may be further extended to July 31, 2027, and the Maturity Date may be further extended to July 1, 2029. On July 1, 2026, the Company entered into the Fourth Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement (the Fourth Amendment, together with the Original Loan Agreement, as amended by the First Amendment, the Second Amendment, and the Third Amendment, the Loan Agreement), which, among other things, added Olema Oncology International Limited as a secured guarantor under the Loan Agreement.
On November 29, 2024, we entered into a securities purchase agreement for a private placement of (i) 19,928,875 shares of our common stock at a price of $9.08 per share and (ii) pre-funded warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 7,604,163 shares of our common stock at a price of $9.0799 per pre-funded warrant, which represents the per share purchase price of the common stock sold in the private placement less the $0.0001 per share exercise price for each pre-funded warrant to selected institutional and accredited investors (the 2024 Private Placement). The aggregate gross proceeds for the 2024 Private Placement were approximately $250.0 million. After deducting offering expenses related to the 2024 Private Placement of approximately $13.0 million, the net proceeds to us from the 2024 Private Placement were approximately $237.0 million. Of the $13.0 million issuance costs, $6.5 million was paid in the fourth quarter of 2024 and $6.5 million was paid in the first quarter of 2025. Concurrently, on November 29, 2024, we entered in an exchange agreement with an investor and issued to such investor pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 3,420,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.0001 per share, in exchange for 3,420,000 shares of our common stock previously outstanding and held by such investor. Thereafter, on January 10, 2025, we entered into exchange agreements with certain investors pursuant to which we issued pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 6,070,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.0001 per share, in exchange for 6,070,000 shares of our common stock previously outstanding and held by such investors (Exchange Transactions). Certain holders of pre-funded warrants (together with such holder’s affiliates and other attribution parties) may not exercise pre-funded warrants held by them to the extent that immediately prior to or after giving effect to such exercise such holder would own more than 9.99% of our outstanding common stock immediately after exercise, which percentage may be changed at the holder’s election to a lower or higher percentage not in excess of 19.99% upon 61 days’ notice to us, subject to the terms of the pre-funded warrants. Refer to Note 12 of our notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report for further information regarding the Exchange Transactions.
On January 6, 2025, we entered into a sales agreement (the Original 2025 Sales Agreement) with TD Securities (USA) LLC (TD Cowen), as sales agent, pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell, from time to time, shares of the Company's common stock, having an aggregate offering price of up to $150.0 million (the Original 2025 ATM Shares). The sales of the Original 2025 ATM Shares could be made by any method permitted that is deemed to be an ATM equity offering as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) promulgated under the Securities Act, including sales made directly on or through the Nasdaq Global Select Market. We agreed to pay TD Cowen a commission of up to 3.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds from any 2025 ATM Shares sold by TD Cowen. On December 11, 2025, we entered into amendment no. 1 to the sales agreement (together with the Original 2025 Sales Agreement, the 2025 Sales Agreement), which increased the maximum aggregate offering price under the ATM program to $200.0 million (the 2025 ATM Shares). During the six months ended June 30, 2026, we issued 1,712,739 shares of our common stock under the 2025 Sales Agreement at a weighted-average price of $24.92 for net proceeds of $41.9 million after deducting related issuance costs.
On November 19, 2025, we completed a follow-on public offering pursuant to which we sold 11,500,000 shares of common stock at a public offering price of $19.00 per share, including 1,500,000 shares sold pursuant to the underwriters’ full exercise of their option to purchase additional shares, resulting in aggregate net proceeds of $204.8 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering costs. Sales of our common stock were made under our shelf registration on Form S-3, which we initially filed with the SEC on January 6, 2025 and that was declared effective by the SEC on January 15, 2025.
We expect to incur significant expenses and operating losses for the foreseeable future as we advance the clinical development of palazestrant, OP-3136, and non-clinical studies. We expect that our research and development and general and administrative costs will increase in connection with conducting additional non-clinical studies and clinical trials for our current and future research programs and product candidates, contracting with CMOs to support non-clinical studies and clinical trials, expanding our intellectual property portfolio, developing our commercialization capabilities, and providing general and administrative support for our operations. As a result, we will need additional capital to fund our operations, which we may obtain from additional equity or debt financings, collaborations, licensing arrangements or other sources.
Our primary uses of cash are to fund our research and development activities, including with respect to palazestrant, OP-3136, and other non-clinical programs, business planning, establishing and maintaining our intellectual property portfolio, hiring personnel, raising capital and providing general and administrative support for these operations.
Other than as noted above, we currently have no financing commitments, such as lines of credit or guarantees, that are expected to affect our liquidity over the next five years.
Future funding and material cash requirements
To date, we have not generated any revenue from product sales. We do not expect to generate any meaningful revenue unless and until we obtain regulatory approval of and commercialize any of our product candidates, and we do not know when, or if at all, that will occur. We expect our expenses to increase in connection with our ongoing activities, particularly as we initiate and conduct clinical trials of, and seek marketing approval for, palazestrant or OP-3136. In addition, if we obtain marketing approval for our product candidates, we expect to incur significant commercialization expenses related to program sales, marketing, manufacturing and distribution to the extent that such sales, marketing and distribution are not the responsibility of potential collaborators. Furthermore, we have incurred and expect to continue to incur additional costs associated with operating as a public company. The amount and timing of our future funding requirements will depend on many factors, including the pace and results of our development efforts.
We expect our cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities as of June 30, 2026, as well as the available balance under the Credit Facility, will enable us to fund our current operating plan through mid-2028. We have based this estimate of cash runway on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could utilize our available capital resources sooner than we expect.
Refer to Notes 9, 10 and 11 of our notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report for further information regarding our material cash requirements. Other than as set forth therein, there have been no material changes outside the ordinary course of business during the six months ended June 30, 2026 to our commitments and contingencies disclosed in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our Annual Report.
If we are unable to raise capital when needed or on attractive terms, we would be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate our research and development programs or future commercialization efforts. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including:
the scope, progress, results and costs of product discovery, non-clinical studies and clinical trials;
the scope, prioritization and number of our research and development programs;
the costs, timing and outcome of regulatory review of our product candidates;
our ability to establish and maintain collaborations on favorable terms, if at all;
the achievement of milestones or occurrence of other developments that trigger payments under any collaboration agreements we enter into;
the extent to which we are obligated to reimburse, or entitled to reimbursement of, clinical trial costs under collaboration agreements, if any;
the costs of preparing, filing and prosecuting patent applications, maintaining and enforcing our intellectual property rights and defending intellectual property-related claims;
the extent to which we acquire or in-license other product candidates and technologies;
the costs of scaling manufacturing capabilities to support late-stage development, regulatory submissions and potential commercialization; and
the costs of establishing or contracting for sales and marketing capabilities if we obtain regulatory approvals to market our product candidates.
Identifying potential product candidates and conducting non-clinical studies and clinical trials is a time-consuming, expensive, and uncertain process that takes many years to complete, and we may never generate the necessary data or results required to obtain marketing approval and achieve product sales. In addition, our product candidates, if approved, may not achieve commercial success. Our commercial revenues, if any, will be derived from sales of one or more product candidates that we do not expect to be commercially available for many years, if at all. Accordingly, we will need to continue to rely on additional financing to achieve our business objectives. Adequate additional financing may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all.
Until such time, if ever, as we can generate substantial product revenues, we expect to finance our cash needs through a combination of equity offerings, debt financings, collaborations, strategic alliances, and licensing arrangements. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, existing stockholders’ ownership interests will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of existing stockholders. Debt financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends. For example, our Loan Agreement includes covenants limiting our ability to, among other things, fund future acquisitions, make dividend payments, or obtain additional financing.
If we raise funds through collaborations, strategic alliances, or licensing arrangements with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams, research programs, or product candidates or to grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us. If we are unable to raise additional funds through equity or debt financings when needed, we may be required to delay, limit, reduce, or terminate our product development or future commercialization efforts or grant rights to develop and market product candidates that we would otherwise prefer to develop and market ourselves.
Cash flows
The following table shows a summary of our cash flows for each of the periods presented:
| Six Months Ended June 30, | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| (in thousands) · 2026 · 2025 | ||||
| Net cash used in operating activities | $ | (91,883) | $ | (73,862) |
| Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities | 45,370 | (10,849) | ||
| Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities | 46,811 | (2,296) | ||
| Net change in cash and cash equivalents | $ | 298 | $ | (87,007) |
Operating activities
Net cash used in operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2026 consisted primarily of our net loss of $116.3 million, partially offset by $21.4 million of net non-cash adjustments, consisted primarily of $23.1 million of stock-based compensation expense, and by changes in working capital. The increase in other current liabilities of $9.3 million was mainly attributable to the timing of research and developmental expenditures, while the decrease in accounts payable of $7.6 million reflected the timing of vendor invoicing and related payments. The decrease in prepaid expenses and other assets of $2.7 million primarily reflected the timing of payments and a non-cash reclassification related to security deposits.
Net cash used in operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2025 consisted primarily of our net loss of $74.2 million, non-cash interest income on our marketable securities of $3.8 million and net decrease in operating assets and liabilities of $5.2 million, offset by non-cash charges of $9.3 million. The net loss consisted primarily of $74.5 million in research and development expenses and $8.2 million in general and administrative expenses. The non-cash charges consisted primarily of stock-based compensation expense of $9.1 million, depreciation and amortization expenses of $0.3 million, and non-cash lease expense of less than $0.1 million, net of cash payments of $0.6 million. The net decrease in operating assets and liabilities was primarily due to (i) a decrease of $3.6 million in accounts payable, which is primarily related to timing of invoicing by vendors and related payments, (ii) an increase of other assets and long-term deposits of $1.7 million due to project deposits paid to CROs as we advance OP-3136 and prepare initiation activities for OPERA-02, and (iii) an increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $1.3 million. The changes are partially offset by an increase of $1.5 million in accrued and other current liabilities
Investing activities
Net cash provided by investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2026 was predominantly due to proceeds from maturities of marketable securities, partially offset by purchases of marketable securities and purchases of equipment.
Net cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2025 was predominantly due to purchases of marketable securities which were partially offset by maturities of marketable securities.
Financing activities
Net cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2026 consists primarily of $41.9 million of net proceeds from the issuance of shares under the at-the-market offering, $4.2 million of proceeds from the exercise of stock options and $0.7 million of proceeds from the issuance of common stock under the employee stock purchase plan.
Net cash used in financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2025 was predominately due to the $6.5 million payment of issuance costs related to the 2024 Private Placement, partially offset by $3.0 million draw down under our Credit Facility, $0.7 million from the sale of our common stock under the ESPP, and $0.5 million from the exercise of stock options.
Critical accounting policies and significant judgments and estimates
Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, expenses and the disclosure of our contingent liabilities in our condensed consolidated financial statements. We base our estimates on historical experience, known trends and events and various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Our actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, there were no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates as reported in our Annual Report.
