In June 2025, we entered into a non-binding letter of intent with Silo Pharma, Inc. to pursue a strategic joint venture focused on developing and commercializing a treatment for obesity and metabolic disease utilizing technology licensed to us from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (“VA”). Both parties have mutually agreed to not proceed with the joint venture. In July 2025, we entered into a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement with the VA and recently initiated a VA-backed study aimed at assessing the technology underlying this license, glial cell line–derived neurotrophic factor (“GDNF”), as a potential new therapy for obesity and fatty liver disease (hepatic steatosis). The studies are underway and we expect results in early 2026.
