SLS009, or Tambiciclib: Highly Selective Next Generation CDK9 Inhibitor

Current report

In July 2025, we announced that the Phase 2 trial of SLS009 in r/r AML met all primary endpoints and received FDA guidance to advance into a first-line therapy study. The overall response rate, or ORR, in 54 evaluable patients was 33% across all cohorts and dose levels, 40% for the 30 mg BIW dose level, and 44% in the 30 mg BIW dose among patients with myelodysplasia-related molecular mutations, or AML MR, all exceeding the pre-specified ORR threshold of 20%. The highest efficacy was observed among patients with ASXL1 mutations, with an ORR of 50% (9/18) at 30 mg BIW dose levels, and AML MR with Myelomonocytic/Myelomonoblastic markers, or M4/M5 per FAB classification, patients with an ORR of 50% (6/12). The median overall survival, or mOS, reached 8.9 months in patients with AML MR and 8.8 months in patients r/r to venetoclax-based regimens at a 30 mg BIW dose level, surpassing the historical benchmark of ~2.4 months. SLS009 was well-tolerated with no new safety signals observed. No dose-limiting toxicities were observed across all dose levels.

Current report

Following a productive end of Phase 2 meeting, the FDA recommended that we proceed into a clinical trial to include newly diagnosed, first-line AML patients eligible for aza/ven therapy, where the FDA noted clinical benefit might be greatest. The randomized 80-patient Phase 2 clinical trial is currently ongoing and began enrollment in the first quarter of 2026. The clinical trial will include two groups: predictive biomarker cohort (newly diagnosed patients unlikely to benefit from standard aza/ven therapy based on molecular profiling) and early venetoclax resistance cohort (patients who initiate treatment with aza/ven, but demonstrate confirmed lack of any response after two treatment cycles).

Current report

In January 2026, we announced that we entered into an agreement with IMPACT-AML, a European collaborative initiative dedicated to advancing innovative treatments for patients with AML. Under the agreement, the IMPACT-AML network will conduct a clinical study evaluating SLS009, enabling access to multiple European clinical sites and patients. IMPACT-AML is a pan-European project and builds an inclusive clinical network (STREAM platform) that connects patients, clinicians, and researchers to test novel AML therapies and improve patient outcomes. It is part of the prestigious EU Mission Cancer program and a top-tier scientific cluster. The IMPACT-AML project is led by a consortium of major research and clinical institutions in Europe, including IRST (IRCCS Istituto Romagnolo per lo Studio dei Tumori “Dino Amadori”), the University of Bologna, IIS LA FE (Health Research Institute Hospital La Fe), several European AML collaborative groups, and supranational organizations under the umbrella of the European Leukemia Net (ELN), as well as various university hospitals across Europe. By leveraging IMPACT-AML’s existing infrastructure and expertise, we expect to expand European patient access to SLS009 in a highly cost-efficient manner while supporting broader participation across the clinical program.

Current report

In May 2025, we announced data for pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia, or ALL, patients derived xenografts, or PDX. The experiment conducted and funded by the National Institute of Health, or NIH, through through the NCI Pediatric Preclinical in Vivo Testing, or PIVOT, program, included 27 patient-derived ALL tumors from pediatric patients. Tumors were xenografted in mice in two groups, vehicle control arm and SLS009 arm. Mice were treated with a fractionated dose once per week for six consecutive weeks. Treatment was well tolerated. For all models, median survival was approximately tripled in the SLS009 arm, compared to vehicle control arm. SLS009 demonstrated delayed progression in 25/27 (93%) models and more than two times longer time to progression in 15/27 (56%) of ALL models. In addition, there were complete responses, or CR, in two models and in one of the two models CR was maintained after the treatment had been completed until the end of the study (four months). Among seven KMT2A rearranged models, time to progression was extended in all seven models, and in six out of seven (86%) time to progression was more than doubled.

Subsequent to December 31, 2025, the Company received an additional $42.6 million in proceeds from the exercise of 26.4 million warrants at a weighted-average exercise price of approximately $1.61 per share.

Current report

Management's expectations with respect to its ability to fund current planned operations is based on estimates that are subject to risks and uncertainties. If actual results are different from management's estimates, we may need to seek additional strategic or financing opportunities sooner than would otherwise be expected. There is no guarantee that any of these strategic or financing opportunities will be executed or executed on favorable terms, and some could be dilutive to existing stockholders. If we are unable to obtain additional funding on a timely basis, we may be forced to significantly curtail, delay, or discontinue one or more of its planned research and development programs or be unable to expand our operations or otherwise prepare for the potential regulatory approval and commercialization of its product candidates, assuming positive data.

Previous report

In the fourth quarter of 2023, we completed enrollment in the 45 mg (safety) dose cohort in the Phase 2a study and reported positive initial topline data. At that time, we also commenced enrollment in the 60 mg dose cohort with patients randomized to one of two groups, 60 mg fixed dose once weekly or 30 mg fixed twice weekly. Each group was planned to enroll five to 10 patients. During the trial we identified 30 mg fixed twice weekly as our optimal dose level.

Previous report

During the trial, we identified potential biomarkers currently undergoing testing as predictive markers in the most recent portion of the study. In May 2024, we announced additional preliminary data from the Phase 2a trial of SLS009 in r/r AML and successful filing of a provisional patent application around the ASXL1 mutation and SLS009, including all CDK9 inhibitor drugs. ASXL1 mutations are associated with poor prognosis in all myeloid diseases, owing to the reduced response to the current treatment options. We observed a high rate of responses in patients with myelodysplasia-related molecular mutations (AML MR), as defined by the World Health Organization, and patients with the ASXL1 gene mutation accounted for the most responders across all dose cohorts. We expanded the ongoing study to include two additional cohorts, one with ASXL1 mutated AML patients and one with patients with myelodysplasia-related molecular abnormalities other than ASXL1 at the optimal dose level of 30 mg fixed twice weekly. In December 2024, we announced positive data from the first 3 cohorts in the Phase 2a trial and the trial remains ongoing with additional data expected from the expansion cohorts in the first half of 2025.

Previous report

Our partner, GenFleet, is focusing on lymphoma indications with SLS009 in its Greater China market. In March 2024, we announced that GenFleet initiated a study of SLS009 in combination with zanubrutinib (Brukinsa®), a BTK inhibitor, in r/r diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, or DLBCL, and the first patient was dosed in the trial. The study is funded and sponsored by GenFleet and is being conducted in China only. In February 2025, we announced positive data from the Phase 2a study evaluating SLS009 in combination with zanubrutinib.

Previous wording

We have an ongoing open label randomized Phase 3 clinical trial, the REGAL study, for GPS monotherapy in patients with acute myeloid leukemia, or AML, in the maintenance setting after achievement of second complete remission, or CR2, following successful completion of second-line antileukemic therapy. Patients are randomized to receive either GPS or best available treatment, or BAT. We expect this study will be used as the basis for submission of a Biologics License Application, or BLA, subject to a statistically significant and clinically meaningful trial outcome and agreement with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or the FDA. The primary endpoint of the REGAL study is overall survival, or OS. We planned to enroll approximately 125 to 140 patients at approximately 95 clinical sites in North America, Europe and Asia with a planned interim safety, efficacy and futility analysis after 60 events (deaths). In March 2024, we announced the completion of enrollment. In December 2024, we announced that the pre-specified threshold of 60 events (deaths) per the protocol had been reached, triggering the interim analysis to be conducted by the Independent Data Monitoring Committee, or IDMC. In January 2025, we announced that the IDMC had completed pre-specified interim analysis of the REGAL study and had recommended that the study continue without modifications. The next and final analysis will be conducted once 80 events (deaths) are reached. We anticipate that 80 events will be reached this year. Because the final analysis is event driven, it is difficult to predict with any certainty and it may occur at a different time than currently expected.

We remain blinded to all efficacy and survival data outcomes and, as no outcomes analyses were performed and no statistical penalty has been incurred, this one-time update on the aggregate number of events does not impact future statistical analyses. Because the final analysis is event driven, it is difficult to predict with any certainty and it may occur at a different time than currently expected. We will announce the 80th event when it occurs.

In December 2020, we entered into an exclusive license agreement, or the 3D Medicines Agreement, with 3D Medicines Inc., or 3D Medicines, a China-based biopharmaceutical company developing next-generation immuno-oncology drugs, for the development and commercialization of GPS, as well as the Company’s next generation heptavalent immunotherapeutic GPS+, which is at preclinical stage, across all therapeutic and diagnostic uses in mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan, which we refer to as Greater China. We have retained sole rights to GPS and GPS+ outside of Greater China. In November 2022, we announced that we had agreed with 3D Medicines for 3D Medicines to participate in the REGAL study through the inclusion of approximately 20 patients from mainland China. In December 2022, we entered into a Side Letter Agreement with 3D Medicines, or Side Letter, which together with the 3D Medicines Agreement, details the terms and conditions of 3D Medicines' participation in the REGAL study. Although the REGAL study has completed enrollment as announced in March 2024, in accordance with the predetermined statistical analysis plan, 3D Medicines may still enroll patients in mainland China. The timing of such participation and patient enrollment by 3D Medicines, if at all, cannot be predicted with certainty. As of March 15, 2025, we have received an aggregate of $10.5 million in upfront and milestone payments under our license agreement with 3D Medicines, or the 3D Medicines Agreement, and a total of $191.5 million in potential future development, regulatory and sales milestones, not including future royalties, remains under the license agreement, which milestones are variable in nature and not under our control.

In December 2020, together with our wholly-owned subsidiary, SLSG Limited, LLC, we entered into the 3D Medicines Agreement pursuant to which we granted 3D Medicines a sublicensable royalty-bearing license under certain intellectual property owned or controlled by us, to develop, manufacture and have manufactured, and commercialize GPS and heptavalent GPS product candidates for all therapeutic and other diagnostic uses in the 3DMed Territory. To date, we have received $10.5 million in upfront payments and certain technology transfer and regulatory milestones. A total of $191.5 million in potential future development, regulatory, and sales milestones, not including future royalties, remains under the 3D Medicines Agreement as of December 31, 2024, which milestones are all variable in nature and not under our control. In December 2023, we commenced a binding arbitration proceeding against 3D Medicines, which involves, among other things, the trigger and payment of certain milestone payments due to us. See Part I, Item 3. Legal Proceedings.

Previous wording

As of December 31, 2024, we had an accumulated deficit of $248.1 million, cash and cash equivalents of $13.9 million and restricted cash and cash equivalents of $0.1 million. In addition, we had current liabilities of $9.5 million as of December 31, 2024. We expect that our cash and cash equivalents will not be sufficient to fund our current planned operations for at least the next twelve months from the date of issuance of these financial statements. These conditions give rise to a substantial doubt over our ability to continue as a going concern. This going concern assumption is based on management’s assessment of the sufficiency of our current and future sources of liquidity and whether it is probable we will be able to meet our obligations as they become due for at least one year from the date our consolidated financial statements are available to be issued, and if not, whether our liquidation is imminent.

Current wording

As of December 31, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $275.0 million, cash and cash equivalents of $71.8 million and restricted cash and cash equivalents of $0.1 million. In addition, we had current liabilities of $7.0 million as of December 31, 2025. We expect that our cash and cash equivalents, together with the $42.6 million in proceeds from warrant exercises received subsequent to December 31, 2025, will be sufficient to fund our current planned operations for at least the next twelve months from the date of issuance of these financial statements, although we may pursue additional capital resources through public or private equity or debt financings or by entering into additional license agreements or collaborations with other companies.

Previous wording

Net cash used in operating activities of $31.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2023 was primarily attributable to our net loss of $37.3 million, and partially offset by a change in our operating assets and liabilities of $3.3 million and various net non-cash charges of $2.6 million. The net change in our operating assets and liabilities is due to an increase in accounts payable of $2.3 million, an increase in accrued expenses and other current liabilities of $1.4 million, and a decrease in prepaid expenses and other assets of $0.1 million, which was partially offset by a decrease in operating lease liabilities of $0.5 million. Net non-cash charges were driven by $2.1 million in non-cash stock compensation expense and $0.5 million in non-cash lease expense.

Current wording

Net cash used in operating activities of $28.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2025 was primarily attributable to our net loss of $26.9 million and a $4.1 million change in our operating assets and liabilities, partially offset by non-cash charges of $2.6 million. The net change in our operating assets and liabilities is due to a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities of approximately $2.5 million, an increase in prepaid expenses and other assets of approximately $1.0 million, and a decrease in operating lease liabilities of approximately $0.6 million. Non-cash charges were driven by approximately $2.0 million in non-cash stock-based compensation expense and $0.6 million in non-cash lease expense.

Previous wording

We generated $22.3 million of net cash from financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2023, which was due to $21.9 million in aggregate net proceeds received from the February 2023 Offering, $0.3 million in aggregate net proceeds received from the issuance of common stock under a Controlled Equity Offering SM Sales Agreement with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., or the Sales Agreement, and $0.1 million in aggregate net proceeds received from the issuance of common stock under our employee stock purchase plan. In January 2024, we mutually agreed with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. to terminate the Sales Agreement.

Current wording

We generated $86.3 million of net cash from financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2025, which was due to $51.0 million in aggregate net proceeds received from the September 2025 Warrant Inducement and October 2025 Warrant Inducement, $23.1 million in net proceeds received from the January 2025 Registered Direct Offering, $12.6 million in proceeds received from the exercise of warrants, and $0.1 million in proceeds received from the issuance of common stock under our employee stock purchase plan, partially offset by $0.5 million to satisfy tax withholding on vesting of restricted stock units.

Previous wording

We base our expenses related to clinical trials on our estimates of the services received and efforts expended pursuant to quotes and contracts with multiple research institutions and CROs that conduct and manage preclinical studies and clinical trials on our behalf. The financial terms of these agreements are subject to negotiation, vary from contract to contract and may result in uneven payment flows. There may be instances in which payments made to our vendors will exceed the level of services provided and result in a prepayment of the expense. Payments under some of these contracts depend on factors such as the successful enrollment of patients and the completion of clinical trial milestones. In accruing service fees, we estimate the time period over which services will be performed and the level of effort to be expended in each period. If the actual timing of the performance of services or the level of effort varies from the estimate, we adjust the accrual or prepaid accordingly. Although we do not expect its estimates to be materially different from amounts actually incurred, our understanding of the status and timing of services performed relative to the actual status and timing of services performed may vary and may result in reporting amounts that are too high or too low in any particular period. To date, we have not made any material adjustments to our prior estimates of accrued research and development expenses.
