Current report

•Clinical Trials Updates. On August 20, 2024, we halted the PRECISION1 trial, a registration-directed tumor-agnostic Phase 2 study of FYARRO in patients with Tuberous Sclerosis Complex 1 ("TSC1") and Tuberous Sclerosis Complex 2 ("TSC2") alterations, based on efficacy results from a planned interim analysis of efficacy results from two-thirds of participants in the trial. An analysis by the Independent Data Monitoring Committee demonstrated that the study was unlikely to exceed an efficacy threshold necessary to support an accelerated approval, the key goal of this Phase 2 study. We are completing the wind-down of the PRECISION1 trial and all patients who were still receiving benefit at the time the study was halted were transitioned to an expanded access protocol. We expect to report out the PRECISION1 trial results in 2025.

Current report

To further preserve cash runway, we paused new enrollment, but continue dosing previously enrolled patients, in two, ongoing Phase 2 trials of FYARRO for advanced or recurrent endometrioid-type endometrial cancer (EEC) and neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). Both studies have enrolled sufficient patients (n=24 and n=12 for EEC and NETs, respectively) to assess initial efficacy signals in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Current report

•Strategic Review. On August 20, 2024, we announced our commencement of a comprehensive strategic review to maximize shareholder value. Such strategic review is ongoing.

Current report

•Employee Matters. On August 16, 2024, our Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved a plan of termination that resulted in a workforce reduction of 22 employees, representing approximately 32% of our workforce.

Current report

In addition, as of October 1, 2024, Neil Desai, Ph.D., our former Executive Chairman, and Loretta Itri, our former Chief Medical Officer, ceased their respective employments with the company. Dr. Desai will continue to serve as a member of our Board. Dr. Itri will provide consulting services to the company for up to ten hours per month for an initial three-month term.

Current report

•Arbitration Win. On September 26, 2024, we received the arbitration panel's Final Award in our arbitration against EOC Pharma (Hong Kong) Limited ("EOC"). EOC had claimed that we breached certain provisions of our license agreement with EOC, dated December 8, 2020 (the “EOC License Agreement”), including failing to provide certain manufacturing information to EOC and, as a result, EOC sought monetary damages against us. In the arbitration panel's Final Award, it found and concluded, among other things, that we did not breach the EOC License Agreement and accordingly we are not liable for any damages to EOC. See Notes 7 and 12 to the condensed consolidated financial statements and "EOC License Agreement" below for more information about the EOC License Agreement, its termination and the arbitration proceedings.

Current report

•Commercial sale of FYARRO was launched on February 22, 2022, for the treatment of patients with advanced malignant PEComa. We recorded net product sales of$7.2 million and$18.7 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively.

Current report

•We expect to decrease our investment in research and development as a result of our halt and subsequent wind-down of the PRECISION1 study following interim data results and the pause of enrollment of our two Phase 2 trials of FYARRO in patients with EEC and NETs, respectively.

Current report

•Our future expenses may fluctuate significantly from quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year, depending on our strategic review and the ultimate outcome of that process.

Current report

Comparison of the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 and 2023

Current report

Restructuring charges for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 were $2.6 million. The increase in restructuring expense was due to a restructuring plan to reduce the Company's workforce by 32% in response to our announcement on August 20, 2024 that we will halt the registration-intended PRECISION1 trial of nab-sirolimus in patients with solid tumors harboring TSC1 or TSC2 inactivating alterations.
Removed paragraphs (8)

Previous report

In addition to advanced malignant PEComa, based on exploratory data from our completed Phase 2 registrational study, Advanced Malignant PEComa Trial (“AMPECT trial”)and data for FYARRO in other solid tumors with TSC1 and TSC2 inactivating alterations, we initiated a registration-directed tumor-agnostic Phase 2 study (“PRECISION1 trial”) of FYARRO in patients with malignant solid tumors with alterations of the Tuberous Sclerosis Complex 1 (“TSC1”) or Tuberous Sclerosis Complex 2 (“TSC2”) genes. The PRECISION1 trial was opened for enrollment in the United States during the first quarter of 2022 and, on December 14, 2023, we announced results from an interim analysis on the first third of participants in the PRECISION1 trial. This interim analysis included data from the first third of trial participants (n=40) with a minimum of 4.5 months of follow-up, including investigator-assessed response and safety analyzed separately in each of the TSC1 and TSC2 arms. We expect to report the two-thirds interim analysis in the third quarter of 2024, with the overall response rate (ORR) analysis of such two-thirds cohort (n=80) based on independent radiological review with a minimum of six months of follow-up for all patients.

Previous report

•PRECISON1 Trial Enrollment and Timing. In April 2024, we fully enrolled the PRECISION1 trial. The trial is expected to be completed by the end of 2024, with results anticipated in early 2025.

Previous report

•Termination of the Mirati Collaboration. In May 2024, we announced that, at our request, we and Mirati Therapeutics, Inc. (“Mirati”) mutually agreed to terminate ourcollaboration and supply agreement. We entered into the agreement with Mirati in October 2022 to evaluate the combination of Mirati’s adagrasib (KRAZATI®), a KRAS G12C selective inhibitor, and FYARRO in KRAS G12C mutant non-small cell lung cancer ("NSCLC") and other solid tumors. Enrollment in Phase 1/2 trial has been discontinuedas weprioritize the evaluation ofnab-sirolimus in Phase 2 trials for endometrioid endometrial cancer ("EEC") and in neuroendocrine tumors ("NETs").

Previous report

•We have built our research and development team and we expect our research and development costs will increase in 2024, relative to prior periods, as a result of significant expenses related to the PRECISION1 trial which was open to enrollment during the year ended December 31, 2023 and continued enrollment through the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, as well as our anticipated expenses related to clinical programs for FYARRO in

Previous report

EEC and in NETs. We are currently enrolling patients in (i) a Phase 2 open-label, multi-institutional study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the combination of FYARRO with letrozole for the treatment of advanced or recurrent EEC and (ii) a Phase 2 multicenter, open-label, single-arm trial to evaluate FYARRO in adult patients with functional or non-functional, well-differentiated, locally advanced unresectable or metastatic NETs of the GI tract, lung, or pancreas who have received ≤2 prior lines of therapy, excluding somatostatin analogs (SSTa).

Previous report

•We anticipate that we will receive a decision in the EOC arbitration process in the second half of 2024. If we are required under the decision to pay any amounts to EOC, then such amounts may increase, potentially significantly, our sales, general and administrative expenses in the second half of 2024

Previous report

The process of commercialization and conducting the necessary preclinical and clinical research to obtain regulatory approval is costly and time-consuming. Product candidates in later stages of clinical development generally have higher development costs than those in earlier stages of clinical development, primarily due to the increased size and duration of later-stage clinical trials. Accordingly, to the extent that our product candidates continue to advance into clinical trials, including larger and later-stage clinical trials, our expenses will increase substantially and may become more variable.
Reworded paragraphs (35)

Previous wording

We are a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing precision therapies for cancers with alterations in the mTOR pathway, a key regulator of cell growth and cancer progression. Our lead drug product, FYARRO®(sirolimus protein-bound particles for injectable suspension (albumin-bound); nab-sirolimus), combines two established technologies - nanoparticle albumin-bound (nab) technology and the anti-cancer agent, sirolimus. Nab-sirolimus is a potent inhibitor of the mTOR biological pathway with demonstrated anti-cancer activity in our lead indication, advanced malignant perivascular epithelioid cell tumor (“PEComa”), a rare cancer. We believe our approach to utilizing the novel combination of technologies has the potential to produce transformational therapies for patients with cancers beyond PEComa that have known mTOR pathway activation and/or cancers in which other mTOR inhibitors have not been fully exploited due to problems of pharmacology, effective drug delivery, safety, or effective targeting to the disease site. We exclusively license FYARRO, previously called ABI-009, nab-sirolimus, from Abraxis BioScience, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Celgene Corporation, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Bristol-Myers Squibb Company (“BMS”).

The ultimate impact of these global and national events and circumstances, either individually or in aggregate, is highly uncertain and subject to change. To the extent possible, we are conducting business as usual, with necessary or advisable modifications to mitigate potentially negative impacts to our business. For example, during the COVID-19 pandemic, our clinical trials were affected by the closure of offices, lack of resources and closure of borders, among other measures being put in place around the world and we made certain modifications to employee travel, with masking and vaccination requirements in our offices, and with our employees working remotely fully or intermittently. Any inability to travel and conduct face-to-face meetings, as well as constraints surrounding hospital infrastructure and staff, can also make it more difficult to enroll and maintain patients in ongoing or planned clinical trials. We will continue to actively monitor the rapidly evolving situation related to these global and national events, and may take further actions to mitigate potential negative impacts to our business, and that may alter our operations, including those that may be required by federal, state or local authorities, or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees and other third parties with whom we do business. At this point, the extent to which these global or national events and circumstances may affect our future business, operations and development timelines and plans, including the resulting impact on our expenditures and capital needs, remains uncertain. We will continue to evaluate the impact that these events could have on our operations, financial position, results of operations and cash flows in fiscal year 2024.

We have incurred net losses in each year since inception and as of June 30, 2024, we had an accumulated deficit of $301.8 million. Our net losses were $14.6 million and $18.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $32.9 million and $33.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. These losses have resulted principally from costs incurred in connection with research and development activities and selling, general and administrative costs associated with our operations. We expect to continue to incur significant expenses and operating losses for the foreseeable future due to the cost of research and development, including conducting preclinical studies and clinical trials, identifying and designing product candidates, the regulatory approval process for FYARRO outside the United States and in additional indications and any other product candidates we may develop in the future, and the continued commercialization of FYARRO. We expect our expenses, and the potential for losses, to increase as we conduct clinical trials of FYARRO in additional indications and seek to expand our pipeline.
