FILANA THERAPEUTICS, INC.

Overview

Filana Therapeutics, Inc. (formerly Cassava Sciences, Inc.) is a clinical-stage biotechnology company based in Austin, Texas. Our mission is to develop transformative medicines to improve the lives of patients with central nervous system (CNS) disorders, such as Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC)-related epilepsy and other diseases associated with dysregulation or overexpression of filamin A. Our science is based on modulating the activity of a critical protein in the brain for patients with certain CNS disorders, such as TSC. Our lead therapeutic drug candidate, simufilam, was under clinical evaluation for the proposed treatment of Alzheimer’s disease in two Phase 3 clinical studies through 2024, when all ongoing clinical trials for simufilam in Alzheimer’s disease were discontinued. The phase out of the Company’s Alzheimer's disease development program was completed in the second quarter of 2025.

Our lead therapeutic product candidate, simufilam, is a proprietary small molecule oral treatment drug being studied for the treatment of TSC-related epilepsy. Simufilam was discovered and designed in-house and was characterized by our academic collaborators during research activities that were conducted from approximately 2008 to date.

Simufilam is intended to modulate the activity of a protein called filamin A, which regulates diverse aspects of neuronal cell development. Our and our collaborators’ published studies have demonstrated that the combination of mTOR activation and filamin A overexpression causes cell overgrowth, abnormal connectivity, and brain malformations, leading to seizures in patients with TSC. While such seizures have historically been treated with mTOR inhibitors and other drugs, filamin A represents a novel target for the potential treatment of TSC-related epilepsy, independent of mTOR. Simufilam is a potential first-in-class filamin A-modulating agent with the potential to treat TSC-related epilepsy. We continue to explore other potential indications for simufilam, both CNS related and otherwise, where our pre-clinical experiments suggest that simufilam may provide a benefit.

We Own or Control Worldwide Rights to Our Drug Development Program

Our success depends in part on our ability to obtain, maintain, and enforce intellectual property protection for our product candidates, including simufilam, and related technologies. We seek to protect our proprietary position through a combination of patents, patent applications, trade secrets, know‑how, and other intellectual property rights.

We own or exclusively control a portfolio of issued patents and pending patent applications directed to simufilam and related diagnostic assets. These intellectual property rights include patents covering composition of matter for simufilam in the United States, Europe, Australia, Israel, and Canada, as well as patents covering certain methods of use of simufilam in the United States, Europe, and Japan. We also own pending patent applications covering diagnostic assets related to simufilam in the United States, Europe, Japan, China, Canada, and Australia, as well as additional pending patent applications covering other diagnostic assets in the United States, Europe, Japan, China, and Canada.

In the United States, our patent protection relating to simufilam, including its solid forms and methods of use for Alzheimer’s disease and other neurodegenerative diseases, consists of nine issued U.S. patents, with expiration dates ranging from 2029 to 2040, subject to potential patent term extensions and adjustments. We have filed corresponding foreign patent applications for each of these U.S. patent families where we believe such protection is commercially appropriate.

In addition to our owned intellectual property, on February 26, 2025, we entered into a License Agreement (the “License Agreement”) with Yale University (“Yale”) pursuant to which we were granted exclusive worldwide rights, with rights to sublicense, to Yale’s interest in certain patent and other intellectual property rights that could be useful or necessary to the development and commercialization of simufilam for the treatment of TSC‑related epilepsy and other potential indications. Under this exclusive, worldwide license, we have the right to sublicense the licensed intellectual property. The license is subject to customary diligence obligations and includes milestone payments, royalties on net sales of licensed products, and other contingent payments, including payments tied to the transfer of any regulatory priority review voucher, if issued. As a result, commercial sales of simufilam or related products, if any, may be subject to royalty obligations to Yale.

Except for intellectual property licensed from third parties, including pursuant to the License Agreement with Yale, we do not owe royalties or other payments to third parties with respect to our owned patents and patent applications covering simufilam.

About Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC)

TSC is a genetic disorder that results from a mutation in the TSC1 or TSC2 genes. According to the Tuberous Sclerosis Alliance (TSCA), TSC is estimated to affect around 1 in 6,000 live births with approximately 50,000 people affected in the United States and more than one million worldwide. Clinical symptoms of TSC are variable and can impact organ systems with non-malignant tumors developing in brain, eyes, heart, kidney, skin and lungs. Interrelated neuropsychiatric manifestations of TSC such as intellectual disability, autism spectrum disorder, anxiety, aggression, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and sleep disturbance can significantly impact quality of life. Epilepsy is common in TSC, occurring in 84% of patients registered in the TSC Alliance Natural History Database with onset often occurring in their first year of life. Approximately 60 percent of TSC patients suffer from treatment-resistant seizures despite use of multiple anti-seizure medications. TSC-related epilepsy is associated with poor outcomes and increases the risk of cognitive deficits.

Preclinical Studies with Simufilam in Tuberous Sclerosis Complex

Preclinical research conducted at Yale indicates that simufilam (then PTI-125) may be effective in reducing TSC-related seizure activity. A study conducted by Angelique Bordey, PhD, at Yale and published in the peer-reviewed journalNeuron in 2014 found overexpression of filamin A and neuronal abnormalities in brain tissue from TSC patients, as well as in brain tissue from mice that had been genetically altered to model TSC. The study further found that genetically normalizing filamin A expression in the mice prevented neuronal abnormalities. The paper, MEK-ERK1/2-Dependent FLNA Overexpression Promotes Abnormal Dendritic Patterning in Tuberous Sclerosis Independent of mTOR (Neuron. 2014 Oct 1. PMID: 25277454), was co-authored by Zhang L, Bartley CM, Gong X, Hsieh LS, Lin TV and Feliciano DM.

A later study conducted by Dr. Bordey and published in the peer-reviewed journalScience Translational Medicine in 2020 likewise found elevated filamin A and neuronal abnormalities in brain tissue from patients with focal cortical dysplasia type II (FCDII), a genetic disorder with similar characteristics to TSC, as well as in the brains of mice that had been genetically altered to model TSC and FCDII. That study showed that normalizing filamin A expression in the mice through genetic knockdown both limited the neuronal abnormalities and reduced the frequency of epileptic seizures in the mice. This 2020 paper, Filamin A Inhibition Reduces Seizure Activity in a Mouse Model of Focal Cortical Malformations (Sci Transl Med. 2020 Feb 19. PMID: 32076941), was co-authored by Zhang L, Huang T, Teaw S, Nguyen LH, Hsieh LS, Gong X, and Lindsay Burns, a former employee of the Company.

In this 2020 study, Dr. Bordey and her colleagues also studied the effect of treatment with simufilam in the mice that had been altered to model TSC and FCDII. The research showed that treatment with simufilam limited neuronal abnormalities and reduced seizure activity in the mouse model at a level similar to genetic knockdown of filamin A expression. Treatment with simufilam did not, however, affect the level of filamin A in the brains of the mice.

Dr. Bordey joined the Company as Senior Vice President, Neuroscience, on May 1, 2025, while continuing her tenured academic position at Yale School of Medicine on a part time basis. In connection with plans to initiate a clinical program in TSC-related epilepsy, the Company appointed Dr. Joseph Hulihan as Chief Medical Officer in August 2025. Dr. Hulihan, who brings over 25 years of industry experience, devotes approximately half of his professional time to the Company and will advise on the clinical development of simufilam.

In August 2025, the Company announced positive preclinical results of a study evaluating simufilam in a well-accepted mouse model of TSC-related epilepsy. The study was conducted in collaboration with the TSCA and the TSC Preclinical Consortium using an animal model of TSC-related epilepsy, theTsc1 conditional knockout (CKO) mouse line (Tsc1-CKO). These mice develop spontaneous seizures and are used by the TSC Alliance to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of novel and repurposed therapeutics in the potential treatment of TSC-related epilepsy. The study was conducted by PsychoGenics, Inc., the TSC Preclinical Consortium’s research partner.

TheTsc1-CKO mice were treated with several doses of simufilam. Seizure activity was monitored for approximately three weeks after onset, and simufilam was evaluated against treatment with vehicle alone. The data showed that simufilam attenuated the progression of seizure activity, with a statistically significant correlation between simufilam dose and the number of seizures by the end of the study. Not all parameters measured reached statistical significance. The Company intends to present data and analyses in an upcoming scientific conference and publication.

Based on the results of these studies, the Company filed an Investigational New Drug (IND) application with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in order to initiate a proof-of-concept clinical trial for simufilam in TSC-related epilepsy. On December 15, 2025, the Company received a formal letter from FDA confirming that the proposed clinical trial is on full clinical hold subject to the Company providing FDA with additional information, including additional pre-clinical data, and modifying the protocol design.

The Company is working expeditiously to address the items identified in the letter. However, as announced on December 18, 2025, the Company no longer expects to initiate a proof-of-concept clinical trial for simufilam in TSC-related epilepsy in the first half of 2026. The updated timing for initiation of a clinical trial will depend on the Company’s ability to provide the requested information and on satisfactory completion of FDA’s review.

License Agreement with Yale

On February 26, 2025, we entered into the License Agreement with Yale pursuant to which we were granted exclusive worldwide rights, with rights to sublicense, to Yale’s interest in certain patent and other intellectual property rights that could be useful or necessary to the development and commercialization of simufilam for the treatment of TSC-related epilepsy and other potential indications. Pursuant to the License Agreement, we have agreed to use reasonable commercial efforts to implement a plan designed for such development and commercialization.

In exchange for the rights acquired pursuant to the License Agreement, we paid Yale (i) a nominal upfront license fee, and agreed to pay (ii) payments upon the achievement of specified clinical, regulatory and commercial milestones, totaling up to $4.5 million and (iii) upon transfer to a third party of a regulatory priority review voucher, if issued, a low-to-mid double digit percentage of any consideration received for such transfer. We also agreed to pay Yale tiered royalties, ranging from a low- to mid- single digit percentage, on aggregate net sales of licensed products, subject to tiered minimum annual royalty payments ranging from the low- to mid- hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Unless earlier terminated, the License Agreement will continue on a country-by-country basis until the later of (i) the date on which the last valid claim of the license patents expires or otherwise lapses, (ii) the end of any government or regulatory exclusivity period, and (iii) 10 years following the date of first sale of licensed product in such country. We may terminate the License Agreement: (i) at our option, upon specified advance notice to Yale and (ii) if Yale commits a material breach of the License Agreement that is not cured within a specified timeframe. Yale may terminate the License Agreement under specified circumstances, including if we (i) fail to make any payment due under the License Agreement and fail to cure such non-payment within a specified timeframe, (ii) commit a breach of the License Agreement that is not cured within a specified timeframe, (iii) default on a material obligation to any creditor, unless cured within a specified timeframe, (iv) fail to obtain or maintain insurance required by the License Agreement, (v) bring or assist a patent challenge against Yale (or if a sublicensee does so). In addition, the License Agreement will terminate automatically upon the occurrence of certain bankruptcy and insolvency events involving us.

The License Agreement includes customary confidentiality, reporting and inspection, and indemnification provisions.

Safety Data From our Now-Discontinued Alzheimer’s Disease Program

Prior to discontinuing the Alzheimer’s disease program in early 2025, we conducted several Phase 1, Phase 2 and Phase 3 trials of simufilam in the indication. During this clinical trial program, more than 2,000 patients were treated with simufilam, with some patients receiving treatment for as long as 24 months. The safety observations for simufilam from the clinical trials in the discontinued Alzheimer's disease program remain relevant and important to research and clinical trials in pursuit of other indications, including TSC-related epilepsy.

Phase 1 Clinical Safety Study in Healthy Volunteers

The FDA accepted our IND submission for simufilam in 2017. This IND included the requisite preclinical studies concerning safety pharmacology, toxicology, genotoxicity and bioanalytical methods.

We thereafter investigated the safety, dosing and pharmacokinetic profile of simufilam in healthy human volunteers. The design of our first-in-human Phase 1 study was based on regulatory feedback, clinical and scientific rationale and observations from previously conducted preclinical and in vitro studies. In this Phase 1 study, simufilam was evaluated in 24 healthy human volunteers (18 simufilam, 6 placebo) in a single site in the U.S. for safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics. Study subjects were administered a single oral dose of 50, 100 or 200 mg of simufilam or placebo. Drug appeared safe and well-tolerated. Importantly, simufilam showed no treatment-related adverse effects and no dose-limiting safety findings. Pharmacokinetic measurements demonstrated that simufilam, a small molecule, was rapidly absorbed. Dose-proportionality was observed over the full dose range of 50 to 200 mg.

Phase 2 24-Month Clinical Safety Study of Simufilam in Alzheimer’s Disease

In March 2020, we initiated a Phase 2 clinical safety study of simufilam in patients with Alzheimer’s disease (NCT04388254). This study was funded in part by a research grant award from NIH. This study was designed to evaluate the long-term clinical safety and tolerability of simufilam in patients with Alzheimer’s disease over 24 months. This study enrolled over 200 patients with Alzheimer’s disease who were recruited from 16 U.S. clinical sites.

We conducted the 24-month safety study in three continuous phases:

Study participants received simufilam oral tablets 100 mg twice-daily in the open-label treatment phases, and simufilam or matching placebo during the randomized withdrawal phase. In an open-label study design, both the health providers and the patients are aware of the drug treatment being given.

All study participants who completed 12 months of open-label simufilam treatment were eligible to participate in the 6-month randomized, placebo-controlled withdrawal phase. Likewise, all study participants who completed the randomized, placebo-controlled withdrawal phase were eligible for 6 additional months of open-label treatment.

During this 24-month study, oral simufilam 100 mg tablets twice daily appeared safe and well tolerated. No drug-related serious adverse events were observed. The most common treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were Covid-19 and urinary tract infection.

Phase 3 Clinical Trials of Simufilam in Alzheimer’s Disease

Between 2021 and 2025 we enrolled 1,900 patients—including 1,153 patients treated with simufilam during the blinded phase—in two randomized placebo-controlled Phase 3 clinical trials of oral simufilam in mild-to-moderate Alzheimer’s disease. The 800 patients enrolled in the first Phase 3 study, called RETHINK-ALZ, received either 100 mg simufilam tablets or placebo twice daily for 52 weeks (NCT04994483). The 1,125 patients enrolled in the second Phase 3 study, called REFOCUS-ALZ, received either 100 mg and 50 mg simufilam tablets or placebo twice daily for 76 weeks (NCT05026177). Patients who completed either of these Phase 3 studies or the 24-month Phase 2 safety study were eligible to enter a 12-month Open Label Extension study in which all patients received simufilam.

On November 25, 2024, we announced that RETHINK-ALZ did not meet each of the pre-specified co-primary, secondary and exploratory biomarker endpoints. We thereafter discontinued the Phase 3 REFOCUS-ALZ study and Open Label Extension study.

On March 25, 2025, we announced that REFOCUS-ALZ also did not meet each of the pre-specified co-primary, secondary and exploratory biomarker endpoints.

With the failure of both trials to meet their efficacy endpoints, we announced the decision to phase out our Alzheimer’s disease development program. That process was completed in the second quarter of 2025.

Throughout both of these Phase 3 trials and the subsequent open-label extension study simufilam demonstrated a favorable safety profile. The drug’s adverse event profile was comparable to placebo, and no drug-related serious adverse events were observed.

Peer Reviewed Article Describing the Results of our Phase 3 Trials of Simufilam in Alzheimer’s Disease

On January 13, 2026, we announced the publication of the articlePhase 3 randomized clinical trials of simufilam in mild-to-moderate Alzheimer’s disease in the Journal of Prevention of Alzheimer’s Disease (JPAD). The paper provides a detailed analysis of data from the RETHINK-ALZ and REFOCUS-ALZ clinical trials. Although, the two studies did not meet their pre-specified efficacy endpoints, exploratory post-hoc analysis of the studies contained in this article offered informative insights regarding simufilam.

Risk Factors”.Because risk is fundamental to the process of drug discovery and development, you are cautioned to not invest in our publicly traded securities unless you are prepared to sustain a total loss of the money you have invested.

Our Science

Our science is based on modulating the activity of filamin A

Our scientific approach is to treat central nervous system diseases by modulating the activity of the filamin A scaffolding protein. Based on existing research, we believe that filamin A is a promising target for drug development with respect to TSC-related epilepsy.

Research that we sponsored has identified a family of high-affinity, small molecules to target filamin A as a means of potentially treating central nervous system disorders such as TSC-related epilepsy. This family of small molecules, including simufilam, our lead small molecule (oral) therapeutic product candidate, was designed in-house and characterized by our academic collaborators.

Filamin A is a scaffolding protein found in the brain and elsewhere in the body. Scaffolding proteins bring multiple proteins together, coordinating their interaction. Our product candidate, simufilam, is a potential first-in-class filamin A-modulating agent with the potential to treat TSC-related epilepsy. We continue to explore other potential indications for simufilam, both CNS related and otherwise, where our pre-clinical experiments suggest that simufilam may provide a benefit.

Published research shows that patients with TSC have elevated levels of filamin A and that this overexpression of filamin A, in combination with mTOR activation, causes cell overgrowth, abnormal connectivity, and brain malformations, leading to seizures. Preclinical studies in a mouse model showed that genetically normalizing filamin A levels reduced seizure activity and limited neuronal abnormalities independent of mTOR activation.

In this same mouse model, treatment with simufilam reduced seizure activity and limited neuronal abnormalities in a manner similar to genetically normalizing filamin A levels. A second study in a well-accepted mouse model of TSC-related epilepsy showed that treatment with simufilam attenuated the progression of seizure activity.

Extension of Our Science to Other Indications

We may leverage our scientific insights in neurodegeneration and neuroinflammation and advanced tools in molecular biology, biochemistry, and imaging to expand our science to other diseases, including other diseases in which filamin A may be associated with the disease process. New indications and new drug development approaches may complement or supersede our current focus priorities.

In addition, we are exploring and incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities and related data analytics to target improvements in productivity and efficiency in our business, enhancements to research and development activities, and advancements in statistical analysis capabilities.

Simufilam Drug Supply

We have a drug supply agreement with Evonik Industries AG for simufilam. Under the agreement, Evonik supplies and is expected to continue to supply us with clinical-grade quantities of simufilam. Evonik is one of the world’s largest contract development and manufacturing organizations for pharmaceutical ingredients. Other vendors supply excipients, the finished dosage form (i.e., simufilam tablets), drug packaging, package labeling and other critical components of the supply chain for drug supply that can be used for clinical studies.

SavaDx

Our product candidate, called SavaDx, is an early-stage program focused on detecting the presence of Alzheimer’s disease from a small sample of blood. For business, technical and personnel reasons, we discontinued the development of SavaDx as of mid-2025. SavaDx is a research-use only, non-safety related exploratory biomarker. Development activity related to SavaDx accounted for less than 1% of our research budget in all periods presented.

Our Strategy

Our goal is to develop product candidates to diagnose and/or treat central nervous system disorders, such as TSC-related epilepsy. Key elements of our business strategy to achieve this mission include:

We also conduct basic research and development in collaboration with academic and other partners. Our research and development expenses were $26.6 million, $69.6 million and $89.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. See “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for additional details regarding our research and development activities.

Competition

The drug discovery and development industry is characterized by rapidly advancing technologies, intense competition and a strong emphasis on proprietary products. We face potential competition from many different sources, including pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, academic institutions, governmental agencies, and public and private research institutions. Any product candidates that we successfully develop and commercialize may compete with existing therapies and new therapies that may become available in the future.

Many of our competitors have significantly greater financial resources, an established presence in the market, as well as expertise in research and development, manufacturing, preclinical and clinical testing, obtaining regulatory approvals and reimbursement and marketing-approved products. These competitors compete with us in recruiting and retaining qualified scientific and technical personnel, establishing clinical study sites and patient registration for clinical studies, as well as in acquiring or developing technologies complementary to, or necessary for, our programs. Smaller or early-stage companies may also prove to be significant competitors, particularly through collaborative arrangements with large and established companies, significant financial backing from large investors and/or access to intellectual property from large established companies.

The key competitive factors affecting the success of simufilam, and any other product candidates that we develop, if approved, are likely to be efficacy, safety, convenience, price, level of generic competition, patient and physician acceptance and availability of reimbursement from government and other third-party payors. Our commercial opportunity could be reduced or eliminated if our competitors develop and commercialize products that are more effective, have fewer or less severe side effects, are more convenient or are less expensive than products that we may develop.

With respect to TSC-related epilepsy, two pharmacological treatment categories are approved for this patient population. The first category is Traditional Anti-seizure Medications (ASMs), which include the standard of care (SOC) Vigabatrin, and options such as Levetiracetam, Valproate, and Clobazam. The second category is Disease-Specific ASMs, which are treatments indicated specifically for TSC-related epilepsy. Currently, there are two approved treatments for seizures associated with TSC: Afinitor Disperz (everolimus tablets for oral suspension) and Epidiolex (cannabidiol), both of which offer unique advantages and notable challenges. Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, is the only FDA-approved treatment that directly targets the underlying pathophysiology of TSC.

Manufacturing

Simufilam and any future product candidates must be manufactured for clinical trial use in compliance with current good manufacturing practices (cGMP) regulations. These regulations are extensive, stringent and complex, and may include requirements regarding the organization of personnel, buildings and facilities, equipment, control of components and drug product containers and closures, production and process controls, packaging and labeling controls, holding and distribution, laboratory controls, records and reports, and returned or salvaged products. Our manufacturing vendors must have facilities to make our product candidates in strict compliance with cGMP requirements and the FDA’s or comparable foreign regulatory authorities’ satisfaction. Our third-party vendors may also be subject to periodic and unannounced inspections of their respective facilities for general cGMP compliance by the FDA and other foreign authorities. These inspections may include review of procedures and operations used in the testing and manufacture of simufilam to assess compliance with applicable regulations. Failure to comply with statutory and regulatory requirements subjects a manufacturer to possible legal or regulatory action, including warning letters, the seizure or recall of products, injunctions, consent decrees placing significant restrictions on or suspending manufacturing operations and civil and criminal penalties. Contract manufacturers often encounter difficulties involving production yields, quality control and quality assurance, as well as shortages of qualified personnel. Any of these actions or events could have a material impact on the availability of simufilam. Our suppliers may be forced to stop producing, storing, shipping or testing our drug product candidates if they fall out of compliance with government regulations and standards.

Although we are ultimately responsible for the manufacture of simufilam and any other future product candidates, we have limited or no control over our suppliers’ compliance, or lack thereof, with the multitude of regulations and standards that affect our product candidates. We cannot control decisions by our suppliers that affect their ability or willingness to continue to supply us on acceptable terms, or at all.

We do not own or lease any manufacturing facilities. We outsource formulation, manufacturing and related activities to third parties. For the foreseeable future, we will continue to rely on third parties to conduct certain quality control and assurance testing, shipping or storage of our product candidates.

We currently rely on one non-affiliated contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO)—Evonik Corporation—to manufacture simufilam and expect to continue to do so. In 2021, we entered into an agreement with Evonik Corporation to supply clinical-grade quantities of drug substance for simufilam. The goal of our manufacturing strategy is to ensure the integrity of the supply chain for drug substance in compliance with FDA standards. We believe raw materials for our product candidate are readily available from reliable sources.

Government Regulation

Government authorities in the U.S. at the federal, state and local level and in other countries regulate, among other things, the research, development, testing, manufacture, quality control, approval, labeling, packaging, storage, record-keeping, promotion, advertising, distribution, post-approval monitoring and reporting, marketing and export and import of drug and diagnostic products. Generally, before a new drug or diagnostic can be marketed, considerable data demonstrating its quality, safety and efficacy and/or specificity must be obtained, organized into a format specific for each regulatory authority, submitted for review and approved by the regulatory authority.

U.S. Drug Development

In the U.S., FDA regulates drugs under the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the “FDCA”). Both drugs and diagnostics also are subject to other federal, state and local statutes and regulations. The process of obtaining regulatory approvals and the subsequent compliance with appropriate federal, state, local and foreign statutes and regulations requires the expenditure of substantial time and financial resources. Failure to comply with the applicable U.S. requirements at any time during the product development process, approval process or post-market may subject an applicant to administrative or judicial sanctions. These sanctions could include, among other actions, FDA’s refusal to approve pending applications, withdrawal of an approval, a clinical hold, untitled or warning letters, product recalls or market withdrawals, product seizures, total or partial suspension of production or distribution, injunctions, fines, refusals of government contracts, restitution, disgorgement and civil or criminal penalties. Any agency or judicial enforcement action could have a material adverse effect on us.

Product candidates must be approved by FDA before they may be commercialized in the U.S. The drug approval process generally includes the following sequence of steps:

The data required to support an NDA are generated in two distinct developmental stages: preclinical and clinical. The preclinical and clinical testing and approval process requires substantial time, effort and financial resources, and we cannot be certain that any approvals for any future product candidates will be granted on a timely basis, or at all.

Preclinical Studies and IND

The preclinical developmental stage generally involves laboratory evaluations of drug chemistry, formulation and stability, as well as studies to evaluate toxicity in animals, which support subsequent clinical testing. As sponsor, we must submit the results of the preclinical studies, together with manufacturing information, analytical data, any available clinical data or literature and a proposed clinical protocol, to FDA as part of the IND. An IND is a request for authorization from FDA to administer an investigational product to humans and must become effective before human clinical studies may begin.

Preclinical studies include laboratory evaluation of product chemistry and formulation, as well as* *in vitro and animal studies to assess the potential for adverse events and in some cases to establish a rationale for therapeutic use. The conduct of preclinical studies is subject to federal regulations and requirements, including cGCP regulations for safety/toxicology studies. An IND sponsor must submit the results of the preclinical tests, together with manufacturing information, analytical data, any available clinical data or literature and plans for clinical studies, among other things, to FDA as part of an IND. Some long-term preclinical testing, such as long-term toxicity tests, animal tests of reproductive adverse events and carcinogenicity, may continue after the IND is submitted. An IND automatically becomes effective 30 days after receipt by FDA, unless before that time FDA raises concerns or questions about any aspect of the program. In such a case, the IND sponsor and FDA must resolve any outstanding concerns before the clinical study can begin.

Clinical Studies

The clinical stage of development involves the administration of the investigational product to healthy volunteers or patients under the supervision of qualified investigators, generally physicians not employed by or under the study sponsor’s control, in accordance with cGCP requirements, which include the requirement that all research subjects provide their informed consent for participation in any clinical trial. Clinical studies are conducted under protocols detailing, among other things, the objectives of the clinical trial, dosing procedures, subject selection and exclusion criteria and the parameters to be used to monitor subject safety and assess efficacy. Each protocol, and any subsequent amendments to the protocol, must be submitted to FDA as part of the IND. Furthermore, each clinical study must be reviewed and approved by an IRB for each institution at which the clinical study will be conducted to ensure that the risks to individuals participating in the clinical studies are minimized and are reasonable in relation to anticipated benefits. The IRB also approves the informed consent form that must be provided to each clinical study subject or his or her legal representative and must monitor the clinical study until completed. There also are requirements governing the reporting of ongoing clinical studies and completed clinical study results to public registries.

A sponsor who wishes to conduct a clinical study outside of the U.S. may, but need not, obtain FDA authorization to conduct the clinical study under an IND. If a foreign clinical study is not conducted under an IND, the sponsor may submit data from the clinical study to FDA in support of an NDA. The FDA may accept a well-designed and well-conducted foreign clinical study not conducted under an IND if the study was conducted in accordance with cGCP requirements and FDA is able to validate the data through an onsite inspection if deemed necessary.

Clinical studies in the U.S. generally are conducted in three sequential phases, known as Phase 1, Phase 2 and Phase 3, and may overlap.

Post-approval studies, sometimes referred to as Phase 4 clinical studies, may be conducted after initial marketing approval. These studies are used to gain additional experience from the treatment of patients in the intended therapeutic indication. In certain instances, FDA may mandate the performance of Phase 4 clinical studies as a condition of approval of an NDA.

Progress reports detailing the results of the clinical studies, among other information, must be submitted at least annually to FDA. Written safety reports and the investigations for serious and unexpected adverse events, or any other findings suggesting a significant risk to humans exposed to the drug must be submitted to FDA.

Phase 1, Phase 2, and Phase 3 clinical studies may not be completed successfully within any specified period, if at all. The FDA or the sponsor may suspend or terminate a clinical study at any time on various grounds, including a finding that the research subjects or patients are being exposed to an unacceptable health risk. Similarly, an IRB can suspend or terminate approval of a clinical study at its institution if the clinical study is not being conducted in accordance with the IRB’s requirements or if the drug has been associated with unexpected serious harm to patients. Additionally, some clinical studies are overseen by an independent group of qualified experts organized by the clinical study sponsor, known as a Data and Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB). This group provides authorization for whether a study may move forward at designated check-points based on access to certain data from the trial. Concurrent with clinical studies, companies usually complete additional animal studies and must develop additional information about the chemistry and physical characteristics of the drug as well as finalize a process for manufacturing the product in commercial quantities in accordance with cGMP requirements. The manufacturing process must be capable of consistently producing quality batches of the product and, among other things, companies must develop methods for testing the identity, strength, quality and purity of the final product. Additionally, appropriate packaging must be selected and tested, and stability studies must be conducted to demonstrate that our product candidates do not undergo unacceptable deterioration over their shelf life.

NDA Review Process

Following completion of the clinical studies, data is analyzed to assess whether the investigational product is safe and effective for the proposed indicated use or uses. The results of preclinical studies and clinical studies are then submitted to FDA as part of an NDA, along with proposed labeling, chemistry and manufacturing information to ensure product quality and other relevant data. In short, the NDA is a request for approval to market a drug for one or more specified indication and must contain proof of safety and efficacy for a drug’s purity and potency. The application may include both negative and ambiguous results of preclinical studies and clinical studies, as well as positive findings. Data may come from company-sponsored clinical studies intended to test the safety and efficacy of a product’s use or from several alternative sources, including studies initiated by investigators. To support marketing approval, the data submitted must be sufficient in quality and quantity to establish the safety and efficacy of the investigational product to the satisfaction of FDA. FDA approval of an NDA must be obtained before a drug may be marketed in the U.S.

Under the Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA), as amended, each NDA must be accompanied by a user fee. FDA adjusts the PDUFA user fees on an annual basis. According to FDA’s fiscal year 2026 fee schedule, effective through September 30, 2026, the user fee for an application requiring clinical data, such as an NDA, is approximately $4.7 million. Fee waivers or reductions are available in certain circumstances, including a waiver of the application fee for the first application filed by a small business. Additionally, no user fees are assessed on NDAs for products designated as orphan drugs, unless the product also includes a non-orphan indication.

The FDA reviews all submitted NDAs before it accepts them for filing and may request additional information rather than accept the NDA for filing. The FDA must decide whether to accept an NDA for filing within 60 days of receipt. Once the submission is accepted for filing, FDA begins an in-depth review of the NDA. Under the goals and policies agreed to by FDA under PDUFA, FDA has 10 months, from the filing date, in which to complete its initial review of a new molecular-entity NDA and respond to the applicant, and six months from the filing date of a new molecular-entity NDA designated for priority review. The FDA does not always meet its PDUFA goal dates for standard and priority NDAs, and the review process is often extended by FDA requests for additional information or clarification.

In limited circumstances, FDA may grant accelerated approval for a drug intended to treat a serious or life‑threatening disease or condition, including rare diseases, based on a surrogate endpoint or intermediate clinical endpoint that is reasonably likely to predict clinical benefit. Approval under this pathway is generally conditioned on the sponsor’s obligation to conduct one or more post‑marketing confirmatory clinical trials to verify and describe the anticipated clinical benefit. If such confirmatory trials fail to confirm clinical benefit, are not conducted with due diligence, or otherwise do not satisfy FDA requirements, FDA may withdraw approval or require changes to labeling or other regulatory actions. There can be no assurance that FDA will determine that any of our product candidates are eligible for accelerated approval, that any surrogate or intermediate endpoint will be acceptable to FDA, or that any required post‑approval studies will be completed successfully or on a timely basis.

Before approving an NDA, FDA may conduct a pre-approval inspection of the manufacturing facilities for the new product to determine whether they comply with cGMP requirements. The FDA will not approve the product unless it determines that the manufacturing processes and facilities fully comply with cGMP requirements and are adequate to assure consistent production of the product within required specifications. The FDA also may audit data from clinical studies to ensure compliance with cGCP requirements. Additionally, FDA may refer applications for novel product candidates which present difficult questions of safety or efficacy to an advisory committee, typically a panel that includes clinicians and other experts, for review, evaluation and a recommendation as to whether the application should be approved and under what conditions, if any. The FDA is not bound by recommendations of an advisory committee, but it considers such recommendations when making decisions on approval. The FDA likely will reanalyze the clinical study data, which could result in extensive discussions between FDA and the applicant during the review process. After FDA evaluates an NDA, it will issue either an approval letter or a Complete Response Letter (CRL). An approval letter authorizes commercial marketing of the drug with specific prescribing information for specific indications. A CRL indicates that FDA’s review of the application is complete and the application cannot be approved in its present form. A CRL usually describes the specific deficiencies in the NDA identified by FDA. The CRL may require additional clinical data, additional pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial(s) and/or other significant and time-consuming requirements related to clinical studies, preclinical studies or manufacturing. If a CRL is issued, the applicant may either resubmit the NDA, addressing all the deficiencies identified in the CRL, or withdraw the application. Even if such data and information are submitted, FDA may decide that the NDA does not satisfy the criteria for approval. Data obtained from clinical studies are not always conclusive and FDA may interpret data differently than we interpret the same data.

Commercialization Plan

Our product candidates have not received marketing approval from the FDA, and we do not expect to have any approved product candidates in the near term. We currently have no company experience in marketing drugs and we do not have the personnel, capabilities or infrastructure necessary for sales, marketing, third-party payor programs or commercial product distribution. When and if any of our product candidates are approved for commercialization, we will need to develop a commercialization infrastructure for any such product in the U.S. and potentially in certain other key markets. As a matter of strategy, we may also rely on partnerships or collaborations with larger biopharmaceutical companies to provide commercialization infrastructure, such as sales and marketing and commercial distribution.

Advertising and Promotion

The FDA and other federal regulatory agencies closely regulate the marketing and promotion of drugs through, among other things, standards and regulations for direct-to-consumer advertising, communications regarding unapproved uses, industry-sponsored scientific and educational activities, and promotional activities involving the Internet. None of our product candidates can be commercially promoted before receiving FDA approval. After approval, product promotion can include only those claims relating to safety and effectiveness that are consistent with the labeling approved by FDA. Healthcare providers are permitted to prescribe drugs for “off-label” uses - that is, uses not approved by FDA and therefore not described in the drug’s labeling - because FDA does not regulate the practice of medicine. However, FDA regulations impose stringent restrictions on manufacturers’ communications regarding off-label uses. Failure to comply with applicable FDA requirements and restrictions in this area may subject us to adverse publicity and enforcement action by FDA, the U.S. Department of Justice, or the Office of the Inspector General of Health and Human Services, as well as state authorities. This could subject us to a range of penalties that could have a significant commercial impact, including civil and criminal fines and agreements that materially restrict the manner in which we promote or distribute our product candidates.

Post-Approval Requirements

After a product candidate receives regulatory approval, it is often subject to pervasive and continuing regulation by FDA, including, among other things, requirements relating to drug listing and registration, recordkeeping, periodic reporting, product sampling and distribution, adverse event reporting and advertising, marketing and promotion restrictions.

Adverse event reporting and submission of periodic reports is required following FDA approval of an NDA. The FDA also may require post-market testing, known as Phase 4 testing, or FDA may place conditions on an approval that could restrict the distribution or use of the product. In addition, quality control, drug manufacture, packaging, and labeling procedures must continue to conform to cGMP after approval. Drug manufacturers and certain of their subcontractors are required to register their establishments with FDA and certain state agencies. Registration may result in periodic announced or unannounced inspections by FDA or these state agencies, during which the agency inspects manufacturing facilities to assess compliance with cGMP. Accordingly, manufacturers must continue to expend time, money, and effort in the areas of production and quality control to maintain compliance with cGMP. Regulatory authorities may withdraw product approvals or request product recalls if a company fails to comply with regulatory standards, if it encounters problems following initial marketing, or if previously unrecognized problems are subsequently discovered. In addition, other regulatory actions may be taken, including, among other things, warning letters, the seizure of products, injunctions, consent decrees placing significant restrictions on or suspending manufacturing operations, refusal to approve pending applications or supplements to approved applications, civil penalties, and criminal prosecution.

The FDA may require post-approval clinical studies to help assure continued safety or effectiveness of the approved drug. The FDA may also require a labeling change if it becomes aware of new safety information that it believes should be included in the labeling of a drug.

In addition to the FDA, manufacturing, sales, promotion and other activities following product approval are also subject to regulation by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, other divisions of the Department of Health and Human Services, the Department of Justice, the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the Federal Trade Commission, the Occupational Safety & Health Administration, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Affordable Care Act (the “ACA”), other federal agencies and state and local governments.

For example, in the United States, sales, marketing and scientific and educational programs must comply with state and federal fraud and abuse laws. These laws include the federal Anti-Kickback Statute, which makes it illegal for any person, including a prescription drug manufacturer (or a party acting on its behalf), to knowingly and willfully solicit, receive, offer or pay any remuneration that is intended to induce or reward referrals, including the purchase, recommendation, order or prescription of a particular drug, for which payment may be made under a federal healthcare program, such as Medicare or Medicaid. Violations of this law are punishable by prison, criminal fines, administrative civil money penalties and exclusion from participation in federal healthcare programs. Moreover, the ACA provides that the government may assert that a claim including items or services resulting from a violation of the federal Anti-Kickback Statute constitutes a false or fraudulent claim for purposes of the False Claims Act.

Pricing and rebate programs must comply with the Medicaid rebate requirements of the U.S. Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990 and more recent requirements in the ACA. If products are made available to authorized users of the Federal Supply Schedule of the General Services Administration, additional laws and requirements apply. Products must meet applicable child-resistant packaging requirements under the U.S. Poison Prevention Packaging Act. Manufacturing, sales, promotion and other activities also are potentially subject to federal and state consumer protection and unfair competition laws.

The distribution of pharmaceutical products is subject to additional requirements and regulations, including extensive record-keeping, licensing, storage and security requirements intended to prevent the unauthorized sale of pharmaceutical products.

The failure to comply with any of these laws or regulatory requirements subjects firms to possible legal or regulatory action. Depending on the circumstances, failure to meet applicable regulatory requirements can result in criminal prosecution, fines or other penalties, injunctions, requests for recall, seizure of products, total or partial suspension of production, denial or withdrawal of product approvals or refusal to allow a firm to enter into supply contracts, including government contracts. Any action against us for violation of these laws, even if we successfully defend against it, could cause us to incur significant legal expenses and divert our management’s attention from the operation of our business. Prohibitions or restrictions on sales or withdrawal of future products marketed by us could materially affect our business in an adverse way.

Changes in regulations, statutes or the interpretation of existing regulations could impact our business in the future by requiring, for example: changes to our manufacturing arrangements; additions or modifications to product labeling, if and when approved; the recall or discontinuation of our products; or additional record-keeping requirements. If any such changes were to be imposed, they could adversely affect the operation of our business.

The Hatch-Waxman Amendments

In seeking approval for our product candidates through an NDA, we will be required to list with FDA each patent whose claims cover the drug product. Upon receiving regulatory approval, each of the patents listed in the application for this drug is then published in FDA’s Approved Drug Products with Therapeutic Equivalence Evaluations, commonly known as the “Orange Book.” Drugs listed in the Orange Book can, in turn, be cited by potential generic competitors in support of approval of an abbreviated NDA, or ANDA. An ANDA provides for marketing of a drug product that has the same active ingredient in the same strengths and dosage form as the listed drug and has been shown through bioequivalence testing to be therapeutically equivalent to the listed drug. Other than the requirement for bioequivalence testing, ANDA applicants are not required to conduct, or submit results of, preclinical or clinical tests to prove the safety or efficacy of their drug product. Drugs approved in this way are commonly referred to as “generic equivalents” to the listed drug, and may be substituted by pharmacists under prescriptions written for the original listed drug.

The ANDA applicant is required to make certain certifications to FDA concerning any patents listed for the approved product in FDA’s Orange Book. Specifically, the applicant must certify that: (i) the required patent information has not been filed; (ii) the listed patent has expired; (iii) the listed patent has not expired but will expire on a particular date and approval is sought after patent expiration; or (iv) the listed patent is invalid or will not be infringed by the new product. The ANDA applicant may also elect to submit a section viii statement certifying that its proposed ANDA label does not contain (or carves out) any language regarding the patented method-of-use rather than make certifications concerning a listed method-of-use patent. If the applicant does not challenge the listed patents, the ANDA application will not be approved until all the listed patents claiming the referenced product have expired.

A certification that the new product will not infringe the already approved product’s listed patents, or that such patents are invalid, is called a Paragraph IV certification. If the ANDA applicant has provided a Paragraph IV certification to FDA, the applicant must also send notice of the Paragraph IV certification to the NDA and patent holders once the ANDA has been accepted for filing by FDA. The NDA and patent holders may then initiate a patent infringement lawsuit in response to the notice of the Paragraph IV certification. The filing of a patent infringement lawsuit within 45 days of the receipt of a Paragraph IV certification automatically prevents FDA from approving the ANDA until the earlier of 30 months, expiration of the patent, settlement of the lawsuit, or a decision in the infringement case that is favorable to the ANDA applicant. The ANDA application also will not be approved until any applicable non-patent exclusivity listed in the Orange Book for the referenced product has expired.

Disclosure of Clinical Study Information

Sponsors of clinical studies of FDA-regulated products, including drugs, are required to register and disclose certain clinical study information. Information related to the product, patient population, phase of investigation, clinical study sites and investigators, and other aspects of the clinical study is then made public as part of the registration. Sponsors are also obligated to post certain information regarding the results of their clinical studies after completion. Disclosure of the results of these studies can be delayed until the new product or new indication being studied has been approved. Competitors may use this publicly available information to gain knowledge regarding the progress of development programs.

Other Regulatory Requirements

We may be subject to federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations, including the Environmental Protection Act and the Clean Air Act. Although we believe that our safety procedures for handling and disposing of controlled materials comply with the standards prescribed by state and federal regulations, accidental contamination or injury from these materials may occur. In the event of such an occurrence, we could be held liable for any damages that result, and any such liability could exceed our resources.

We may also be subject to regulations under other federal, state, and local laws, including the Occupational Safety and Health Act, national restrictions on technology transfer, and import, export, and customs regulations. It is possible that any portion of the regulatory framework under which we operate may change and that such change could have a negative impact on our current and anticipated operations. Failure to comply with these requirements could result, among other things, in suspension of regulatory approval, recalls, injunctions or civil or criminal sanctions.

Third-Party Payor Coverage and Reimbursement

The commercial success of our product candidates, if approved, will depend, in part, upon the availability of coverage and adequate reimbursement from third-party payors at the federal, state and private levels. Third-party payors include governmental programs such as Medicare or Medicaid, private insurance plans and managed care plans. These third-party payors may deny coverage or reimbursement for our product candidates in whole or in part if they determine that our product candidates are not medically appropriate or necessary. Also, third-party payors attempt to control costs by limiting coverage through the use of formularies and other cost-containment mechanisms and the amount of reimbursement for particular procedures or drug treatments.

Some third-party payors also require pre-approval of coverage for new or innovative devices or drug therapies before they will reimburse healthcare providers who use such therapies. While we cannot predict whether any proposed cost-containment measures will be adopted or otherwise implemented in the future, these requirements or any announcement or adoption of such proposals could have a material adverse effect on our ability to obtain adequate prices for our approved product candidates to operate profitably.

Human Capital

Our approach to human capital resource management starts with our mission to develop transformative medicines to improve the lives of patients with CNS disorders, such as TSC-related epilepsy and other diseases associated with dysregulation or overexpression of filamin A. Our industry exists in a complex regulatory environment. The unique demands of our industry, together with the challenges of running an enterprise focused on the discovery, development, manufacture and commercialization of innovative medicines, require talent that is highly educated and/or has significant industry experience. Additionally, for certain key functions, we require specific scientific expertise to oversee and conduct research and development activities and the complex manufacturing requirements for biopharmaceutical products.

Our employees are an essential asset, and we consider our ability to recruit, train, retain and motivate our employees to be critical to our success. We are an equal opportunity employer, and we are fundamentally committed to creating and maintaining a work environment in which employees are treated with respect and dignity. All human resources policies, practices and actions related to hiring, promotion, compensation, benefits and termination are administered in accordance with the principal of equal employment opportunity, meaning that they are made on the basis of individual skills, knowledge, abilities, job performance and other legitimate criteria and without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender expression or identity, ethnicity, national origin, ancestry, age, mental or physical disability, genetic information, any veteran status, any military status or application for military service, or membership in any other category protected under applicable law. By focusing on employee retention and engagement, we also improve our ability to support our clinical trials, our pipeline, business and operations, and also protect the long-term interests of our stockholders. Our success also depends on our ability to attract, engage and retain a diverse group of employees.

Our base pay program aims to compensate management and staff members relative to the value of the contributions of their role, which takes into account the skills, knowledge and abilities required to perform each position, as well as the experience brought to the job. We also may pay cash bonuses to reward our management team and staff members in alignment with achievement of Company-wide goals that are designed to drive aspects of our strategic priorities that support and advance our strategy across our Company. Our management team and staff members are eligible for the grant of equity awards under our long-term incentive program that are designed to align their long-term interests with that of our stockholders.

Our benefit programs are generally broad-based, promote health and overall well-being and emphasize saving for retirement. All management team and regular staff members are eligible to participate in the same core health and welfare and retirement savings plans. Other employee benefits may include medical plans, dental plans, vacation and sick-pay plans, flexible spending accounts, life and accident insurance and short and long-term disability benefits.

Our Compensation Committee provides oversight of our executive compensation plans, policies and programs.

As of December 31, 2025, we had 17 full-time employees and 3 employees who devote a portion of their professional time to the Company. None of our employees is represented by a labor union or covered under a collective bargaining agreement. We also engage numerous consultants to perform services on retainer, per diem or an hourly basis. We consider our relationship with our employees to be good.

On January 7, 2025, we announced a reduction in our workforce by 10 employees, a reduction of 33% (the “Workforce Reduction”). We communicated the Workforce Reduction to affected employees on January 7, 2025. The Workforce Reduction was intended to align our human capital resources to meet our strategic goals, in light of the discontinuation of our clinical trials for Alzheimer’s disease. The Company's Workforce Reduction was completed, and the associated costs and cash payments were made, during the first quarter of 2025.

2025 Non-Product Development Business Developments

Dismissal of Indictment of Dr. Hoau-Yan Wang

As previously disclosed, Hoau-Yan Wang, PhD, is a former scientific collaborator and advisor to our Company who conducted foundational research relating to our investigational drug, simufilam. On June 28, 2024, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) announced that a federal grand jury in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland returned a criminal indictment of Dr. Wang. Among other things, the charges accused Dr. Wang of causing our Company to submit grant applications to the NIH that allegedly contained false and fraudulent representations about his research and of manipulating or otherwise fabricating research results, including Western Blot images that he prepared. On October 23, 2025, the United States District Court for the District of Maryland granted the United States’ unopposed motion to dismiss with prejudice the indictment against Dr. Wang. This order permanently terminates the case against Dr. Wang, and future charges related to the dismissed indictment cannot be refiled against Dr. Wang.

As previously disclosed, the DOJ’s Fraud Section informed the Company on February 18, 2026 that it had closed its inquiry into the Company regarding allegations of research misconduct as described in the now-dismissed indictment of Dr. Wang.
