Previous wording
We are a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company and have incurred significant losses since our inception, and we expect to incur losses for the foreseeable future. We have no products approved for commercial sale and may never achieve or maintain profitability.
Current wording
We are a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company and have incurred significant losses since our inception, and we expect to incur losses for the foreseeable future, which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We have no products approved for commercial sale and may never achieve or maintain profitability.

We have no products approved for commercial sale and may never achieve or maintain profitability.
Previous wording
We are a clinical‑stage biopharmaceutical company with a limited operating history. Biopharmaceutical product development is a highly speculative undertaking and involves a substantial degree of risk. We have incurred significant losses since our inception in November 2019, have no products approved for commercial sale, have not generated any revenue from product sales, have financed our operations principally through proceeds from sales of common stock, convertible preferred stock and convertible promissory notes and expect to incur significant losses for the foreseeable future. We expect that it will be several years before we have a commercialized product and generate revenue from product sales, if at all. Our net loss was $53.5 million and $68.0 million for three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. As of March 31, 2026, we had an accumulated deficit of $1,237.6 million. Our losses have resulted principally from acquired in-process research and development from our acquisitions of assets, expenses incurred in the research and development of our product candidates, as well as from costs associated with our preclinical studies and clinical trials and management and administrative costs and other expenses that we have incurred while building our business infrastructure.

Our net loss was $43.1 million and $52.7 million for three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $96.5 million and $120.7 million for six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. As of June 30, 2026, we had an accumulated deficit of $1,280.7 million.

Until such time, if ever, as we can generate substantial product revenue, we expect to finance our operations with our existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, the net proceeds from our initial public offering, any future equity or debt financings and upfront and milestone and royalties payments, if any, received under any future licenses or collaborations. If we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, or issue any equity or convertible debt securities in connection with a collaboration agreement or other contractual arrangement, your ownership interest will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect your rights as a holder of our common stock. In addition, the possibility of such issuance may cause the market price of our common stock to decline. For example, in October 2024 we entered into a sales agreement with Leerink Partners LLC (“Leerink”) to sell shares of our common stock, from time to time, with aggregate gross sales proceeds of up to $300.0 million, through an ATM with Leerink as the sales agent. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we received aggregate net proceeds of $10.9 million through sales of shares of our common stock under the ATM after deducting commissions and offering expenses. Additionally, during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, we received aggregate net proceeds of $19.7 million and $13.7 million, respectively, through sales of shares of our common stock under the ATM after deducting commissions and offering expenses. In December 2023, we settled a Phase 3 navacaprant milestone owed to BlackThorn stockholders by primarily issuing shares of our common stock. Debt financing, if available, may result in increased fixed payment obligations and involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures, declaring dividends or acquiring, selling or licensing intellectual property rights or assets, which could adversely impact our ability to conduct our business. For example, in May 2025, we entered into a loan and security agreement (as amended, the “Loan Agreement”) with K2 HealthVentures LLC (“K2HV”), which includes certain affirmative and restrictive covenants that may, among other things, limit our ability to incur additional debt. Additionally, pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement, K2HV has the right to convert up to an aggregate of $12.5 million of the outstanding principal of the term loans into shares of our common stock. As of March 30, 2026, K2HV has the right to convert up to an aggregate of $6.5 million of the remaining outstanding principal into shares of common stock, which right, if exercised, could have a dilutive impact on our stockholders’ ownership interests.

As of March 31, 2026 we had 92 full‑time employees. We will continue to implement and improve our managerial, operational, and financial systems, expand our facilities, and continue to recruit and train additional qualified personnel. Due to the complexity in managing a company that has scaled very quickly, we may not be able to scale our headcount and operations effectively to manage the expansion of our product pipeline or recruit and train the necessary additional personnel. Any inability to manage growth could delay the execution of our business plans or disrupt our operations.
Current wording
As of June 30, 2026 we had 63 full‑time employees. Although we announced a reduction in force of approximately 35% in connection with our discontinuation of the development of navacaprant in MDD in June 2026, we will continue to implement and improve our managerial, operational, and financial systems, expand our facilities, and continue to recruit and train additional qualified personnel as we develop our other product candidates. Due to the complexity in managing a company that has scaled very quickly, we may not be able to scale our headcount and operations effectively to manage the expansion of our product pipeline or recruit and train the necessary additional personnel. Any inability to manage growth could delay the execution of our business plans or disrupt our operations.

Moreover, success in preclinical studies or early clinical trials does not ensure that later preclinical studies or clinical trials will be successful. A number of companies in the biotechnology and biopharmaceutical industries have suffered significant setbacks in clinical trials, even after positive results in earlier preclinical studies. These setbacks have been caused by, among other things, preclinical findings made while clinical trials were underway and safety or efficacy observations made in clinical trials, including previously unreported adverse events. The design of a clinical trial can determine whether its results will support approval of a product, and flaws in the design of a clinical trial may not become apparent until the clinical trial is well advanced. In addition, clinical and preclinical data are often susceptible to varying interpretations and analyses. Notwithstanding any potential promising results in earlier studies, we cannot be certain that we will not face similar setbacks. For example, in January 2025, we announced that our KOASTAL-1 study did not demonstrate a statistically significant improvement on the primary endpoint of change from baseline in the Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (“MADRS”) total score at Week 6 or the key secondary endpoint of a change from baseline in the Snaith-Hamilton Pleasure Scale (“SHAPS”) scale. In addition, the results of our preclinical animal studies, including our non‑human primate studies, may not be predictive of the results of outcomes in subsequent clinical trials on human subjects. Product candidates in clinical trials may fail to show the desired pharmacological properties or safety and efficacy traits despite having progressed through preclinical studies.

Also, in June 2026, we announced that the Phase 3 KOASTAL-2 and -3 studies of navacaprant for the treatment of MDD did not achieve statistical significance on the primary or key secondary endpoints and that we were discontinuing development of navacaprant in MDD. In addition, the results of our preclinical animal studies, including our non‑human primate studies, may not be predictive of the results of outcomes in subsequent clinical trials on human subjects. Product candidates in clinical trials may fail to show the desired pharmacological properties or safety and efficacy traits despite having progressed through preclinical studies.

Moreover, if our product candidates are associated with undesirable side effects in clinical trials or have characteristics that are unexpected, we may elect to abandon their development or limit their development to more narrow uses or subpopulations in which the undesirable side effects or other characteristics are less prevalent, less severe or more acceptable from a risk‑benefit perspective, which may limit the commercial expectations for the product candidate if approved. We may also be required to modify our study plans based on findings in our ongoing preclinical studies or clinical trials. For example, in a rat study, at its highest dose (100 mg/kg/day) navacaprant was observed to have skin‑related phototoxicity of erythema, edema and flaking additionally ocular phototoxicity (corneal edema). While no phototoxicity has been observed in our Phase 1 clinical trials, we monitored visual acuity and corneal integrity in our Phase 2 clinical trial to confirm there was no phototoxicity in humans. Though we did not observe any phototoxicity effects in our Phase 2 clinical trial, if phototoxicity is experienced in our later‑stage clinical trials, the labeling implications of such safety warnings may limit any future product sales, if navacaprant is approved.

If our existing stockholders sell, or indicate an intention to sell, or if the market perceives that such existing stockholders might sell, substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market, the market price of our common stock could decline. As of March 31, 2026, we had outstanding a total of 182,157,466 shares of common stock and approximately 46% of such shares were beneficially owned by our directors, officers, and holders of 5% or more of our common stock. In addition, approximately 57,959,609 shares of common stock that are either subject to outstanding options or reserved for future issuance under our employee benefit plans will become eligible for sale in the public market to the extent permitted by the provisions of various vesting schedules and Rule 144 and Rule 701 under the Securities Act. If these additional shares of common stock are sold, or there is a perception that they will be sold, in the public market, the trading price of our common stock could decline. Further, certain holders of shares of our common stock are entitled to rights with respect to the registration of their shares under the Securities Act. Registration of these shares under the Securities Act would result in the shares becoming freely tradable without restriction under the Securities Act, except for shares held by affiliates, as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act. Any sales of securities by these stockholders could have a material adverse effect on the trading price of our common stock.

In addition, in the future, we may issue additional shares of common stock, or other equity or debt securities convertible into common stock, in connection with a financing, acquisition, employee arrangement, or otherwise. For example, in October 2024 we entered into a sales agreement with Leerink to sell shares of our common stock, from time to time, with aggregate gross sales proceeds of up to $300.0 million, through an ATM program with Leerink as the sales agent. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we received aggregate net proceeds of $10.9 million through sales of shares of our common stock under the ATM after deducting commissions and offering expenses. Additionally, during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, we received aggregate net proceeds of $19.7 million and $13.7 million, respectively, through sales of shares of our common stock under the ATM after deducting commissions and offering expenses. In December 2023, we settled a Phase 3 navacaprant milestone owed to BlackThorn stockholders by primarily issuing shares of our common stock. Any such issuance could result in substantial dilution to our existing stockholders and could cause the price of our common stock to decline.
