Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) that are designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Principal Accounting Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurances of achieving the desired controls.

As of June 30, 2024, we carried out an evaluation over the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures defined above. Based upon that evaluation, we have concluded that, as of June 30, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as a result of the material weaknesses identified in internal controls due to (i) a lack of segregation of duties due to limited administrative staff, (ii) limited reconciliation and review procedures over clinical contract accruals as we have rapidly expanded into new, late-stage clinical studies, and (iii) information technology matters regarding user access that aggregate to a material weakness.

Remediation Activities

In response to the above identified weakness, we have taken or continue to take the following remediation measures:

•We are reassessing our accounting procedures and, as part of the financial reporting process, plan to implement the use of supplementary checks and additional reviews and evaluations of transactions to improve the accuracy and reliability of our financial information.

•We are adding appropriate resources to ensure that such procedures are implemented and adequate reviews are performed.

•In December 2023, we hired a new Chief Financial Officer with extensive public-company reporting and technical accounting experience to provide additional financial reporting oversight and review.

•We have engaged additional technical accounting consultants to provide additional resources for the preparation and review of our quarterly close procedures.

•We will evaluate new accounting software systems to improve system controls, and have already implemented a new financial reporting and filing software platform to leverage system-controls and streamline quarterly SEC filings controls.

Our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Principal Accounting Officer are active participants in these ongoing remediation processes and such processes are subject to audit committee oversight. We believe these steps will improve the effectiveness of our internal controls. While we are taking the above steps to remediate these weaknesses, we cannot assure you that we will be able to fully remediate them, which could impair our ability to accurately and timely meet our public company reporting requirements.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

Our management recognizes that any set of controls and procedures, no matter how well-designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, with us have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of controls. For these reasons, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended June 30, 2024 covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
