Reworded paragraphs (38)
Previous wording
Our most advanced clinical-stage program is Varseta-M, an investigational, conditionally activated antibody-drug conjugate (“ADC”) targeting epithelial cell adhesion molecule (“EpCAM”). Varseta-M is initially focused on the lead indication of colorectal cancer (“CRC”). Varseta-M is designed to bring the promise of ADCs, which have made a meaningful clinical difference in other solid tumors such as lung and breast cancer, to CRC by leveraging EpCAM as a potentially ideal CRC antigen to target this disease. Varseta-M is a high affinity EpCAM antibody that is designed to preferentially bind EpCAM in the tumor microenvironment and minimize toxicities in healthy tissues, which have limited prior attempts in the field to target EpCAM systemically. Varseta-M is armed with a topoisomerase-1 inhibitor payload. Topoisomerase-1 inhibitors are known to have clinical activity in CRC, including irinotecan chemotherapy which is a standard component of the approved standard of care in CRC.

Previous wording
Varseta-M is designed to potentially address a broad range of EpCAM-expressing tumors, but our current development had been initially focused in CRC, which is one of the largest unmet needs in oncology with over 1.9 million cases diagnosed annually around the world. It is also a disease that is expected to grow and estimated that there will be over 3 million cases globally by 2040. CRC is the second leading cause of cancer death worldwide and has a 5-year survival rate in the metastatic setting of only 13%. CRC is also the leading cause of cancer death in the U.S. for patients under the age of 50 and has been growing in incidence in younger patients over the last 3 decades.

Previous wording
Varseta-M clinical development has primarily been focused on late-line metastatic CRC where there is significant unmet need and treatment options are highly inadequate. In third line or later metastatic CRC, patients have typically progressed through multiple chemotherapy-based regimens. Later stage treatment is limited to therapies that provide single digit percentage response rates, median progression free survival of 2 to 5.6 months and overall survival outcomes ranging from approximately 6 to 11 months. It is estimated that there are more than 35,000 patients in the U.S. with 3 rdline or later metastatic CRC, with the number expected to grow over the next decade.

Previous wording
While Varseta-M has initially been developed in late-line metastatic CRC, the program was developed with the vision to help a broad population of metastatic CRC patients, including those in the first- and second-line settings. Given Varseta-M’s mechanism of action, our longer-term development vision is to make Varseta-M a core component of the CRC treatment landscape in earlier lines of therapy, consistent with the development strategy that has been employed for other solid tumor ADCs. We plan to pursue combination strategies to progress this vision of moving Varseta-M to earlier lines of therapy, and we therefore initiated a Phase 1 combination study with bevacizumab in the first quarter of 2026. Varseta-M doses to be assessed in combination with bevacizumab include Q2W and Q4W schedules to align with the approved bevacizumab CRC dose and schedule of 5 mg/kg Q2W. The Phase 1 combination study with bevacizumab continues with initial clinical data anticipated by first half of 2027.

The Phase 1 combination study with bevacizumab continues, with initial clinical data anticipated by the first half of 2027.
Previous wording
Also, toward the longer-term goal for Varseta-M to potentially replace chemotherapy in first and second line mCRC treatment, a Varseta-M Phase 1/2 chemotherapy combination study is expected to start by the fourth quarter of 2026 and to administer Varseta-M with bevacizumab, 5-fluorouracil, and leucovorin in 2nd line mCRC patients.

Previous wording
Additionally, given the broad solid tumor expression profile of EpCAM, Varseta-M has the potential to be an innovative new treatment option in a wide range of solid tumors. High expression of EpCAM has been documented in other tumors such as gastric, gastroesophageal, pancreatic, ovarian, endometrial, non-small cell lung and triple negative breast cancers. In the third quarter of 2026, we are initiating Varseta-M Phase 1 expansion cohorts in gastric and gastroesophageal junction (“GEJ”), EpCAM selected pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (“PDAC”), and EpCAM selected biliary tract cancer (“BTC”). Development of Varseta-M in multiple, EpCAM-expressing gastrointestinal (“GI”) cancers is aligned with the long-term vision of potentially commercializing Varseta-M as a pan-tumor, multi-indication ADC.

Previous wording
The investigational new drug application (“IND”) for Varseta-M was allowed to proceed by the FDA in January 2024, and a Phase 1 clinical trial in patients with EpCAM-expressing solid tumors, with an initial focus on metastatic CRC, commenced in April 2024. No pre-screening of CRC patients by EpCAM expression has been conducted due to the anticipated high and uniform EpCAM expression in CRC. As of May 2025, the Phase 1 study had reached the seventh dose escalation level and had enrolled only mCRC patients.

Previous wording
In May 2025, we announced positive interim Phase 1 data as of an April 7, 2025 data cutoff in advanced metastatic CRC. The data encompassed results from 25 CRC patients treated with Varseta-M at 5 dose levels ranging from 2.4 mg/kg to 10 mg/kg, administered every three weeks (“Q3W”). The 2.4 mg/kg and 4.8 mg/kg doses were single patient dose escalation cohorts not anticipated to be therapeutically active. At the 7.2 mg/kg, 8.6 mg/kg, and 10 mg/kg doses, 23 patients were treated, 18 of whom were efficacy evaluable, having had at least one post-baseline tumor assessment as of the data cutoff. Patients enrolled in the study at the time of data cutoff had previously received a median of 4 prior lines of therapy and all patients had previously been treated with irinotecan. 64% of patients had liver metastases, 64% had disease with KRAS mutations, and 96% had disease that was microsatellite stable. Patients were not preselected based on EpCAM expression levels.

In connection with the May 2026 Regeneron Amendment, the Company applied significant judgment to estimate the standalone selling price of the newly added Collaboration Programs. The Company considered observable collaboration transactions, adjusted for differences in stage of development, modality, scope of rights transferred, expected research effort, market conditions, and Company-specific circumstances when allocating $56.4 million of the unrecognized transaction price. Changes in these assumptions could materially affect the timing of revenue recognized over the estimated research service period of four years.

Based upon our current operating plan and liquidity requirements, we expect our existing capital resources will be sufficient to fund operations into at least the second half of 2028. However, if the anticipated operating results are not achieved in future periods, our planned expenditures may need to be reduced in order to extend the time period over which the then-available resources would be able to fund the operations. The amounts and timing of our actual expenditures depend on numerous factors, including the progress of our preclinical and clinical development efforts, the results of any clinical trials and other studies, our operating costs and expenditures and other factors described under the caption “Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The cost and timing of developing our product candidates is highly uncertain and subject to substantial risks and changes. As such, we may alter our expenditures as a result of contingencies such as the failure of one or all of our product candidates currently in clinical development, the acceleration of one or all of our product candidates in clinical development, the initiation of clinical trials for additional product candidates, the identification of more promising product candidates in our research efforts or unexpected operating costs and expenditures. We will need to raise additional capital to fund our operations in the future. There can be no assurance, however, that such efforts will be successful; or if they are successful, that the terms and conditions of such financing will be favorable to us.
