License Agreement and ADC Therapies
Current report
We recently entered into an intellectual property license agreement (the “License Agreement”) with WuXi Biologics (Shanghai FX) Co., Ltd. (“WuXi Biologics”) for the development and global commercialization of a portfolio of three next generation antibody drug conjugates (“ADCs”) targeting clinically validated, broadly overexpressed tumor antigens in high potential cancer indications with significant unmet need. These ADCs are constructed utilizing an advanced linker-payload platform called CPT113 that has been shown to provide high stability in blood circulation and deliver targeted release of a Topoisomerase I (“TOPO1”) inhibitor payload into cancer cells.
Current report
These in-licensed assets originated through the collaborative efforts of WuXi Biologics, a leading global contract research, development and manufacturing organization (“CRDMO”), and Hangzhou DAC Biotechnology (“Hangzhou DAC”), a global leader in ADC innovation, where Hangzhou DAC’s CPT113 linker-payload has been conjugated to novel antibodies developed by WuXi Biologics against three tumor targets: Protein Tyrosine Kinase 7 (“PTK7”), Mucin 16 (“MUC16”) and Seizure-related Protein 6 (“SEZ6”). We believe the resulting ADCs will be able to target cancers expressing these respective tumor markers precisely and deliver the potent, cytotoxic TOPO1 inhibitor at the site of cancer. Each of these ADCs have demonstrated tumor cell binding, tumor cell line cytotoxicity, andin vivo antitumor activity in preclinical models mimicking tumor progression. We refer to these in-licensed ADC assets as the "ADC Therapies" herein.
Current report
We anticipate submitting three investigational new drug (“IND”) applications with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) in the coming 12 to 24 months, starting with HWK-007 for the treatment of solid tumors, including non-small cell lung cancer (“NSCLC”) and ovarian cancer, in the second half of 2025; HWK-016 for the treatment of cancers of female origin by the end of 2025; and HWK-206 for the treatment of cancers of neuroendocrine origin in mid-2026. With these three assets, we believe we have the ability to pursue multiple cancer indications with high potential in large addressable patient populations, including and beyond those indications currently expected to be targeted in the upcoming Phase 1 trials.
Current report
Our track record of strong execution of novel drug formulation, research, clinical development, and commercialization in oncology, combined with our deep understanding of ADCs positions us to unlock the high potential of this differentiated ADC portfolio. Our management team has extensive experience in the discovery, development, and commercialization of cancer therapeutics, including in senior roles at leading oncology companies. We are supported by our board of directors and specialized scientific advisors, who contribute their deep understanding of drug discovery and development.
Current report
Furthermore, our investor base includes top life science investors. We believe that our team is well positioned to execute on our strategy to develop and, if approved, commercialize the ADC Therapies and future pipeline assets to ultimately bring broad benefit to cancer patients worldwide.

Removed paragraphs (22)
Previous report
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 unresectable or metastatic malignant perivascular epithelioid cell tumor (“PEComa”), a rare cancer. We believe our approach to utilizing this 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.
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, with dosing of our first patient in March 2022. On December 14, 2023, we announced results from an interim analysis on the first third of participants in the PRECISION1 trial. As of December 2023, 80 patients were enrolled in the PRECISION1 trial, supporting our expected two-thirds interim analysis in the third quarter of 2024. The Overall Response Rate ("ORR") analysis in the two-thirds interim analysis cohort will be based on independent radiological review with a minimum of six months of follow-up for all patients. The trial is expected to be fully enrolled by May 2024 and completed by the end of 2024, with results anticipated in early 2025.

The primary objective of this multi-center, single-arm, open-label Phase 1/2 trial is to determine the optimal dose and recommended Phase 2 dose for the combination of adagrasib and FYARRO in patients with KRAS G12C-mutant solid tumors. In addition, the study will investigate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of adagrasib and FYARRO in combination in patients both with and without prior exposure to a KRAS G12C inhibitor. The trial will build on preclinical data showing enhanced anti-tumor efficacy with the combination of adagrasib and FYARRO relative to either agent alone. In August 2023, we announced that the first patient dosing occurred in the Phase 1/2 trial.
Previous report
We have been and continue to actively monitor our supply chain in light of these challenging global and national events and circumstances, including our third-party materials suppliers. We experienced some supply disruptions due to the COVID-19 pandemic, including closures at certain chip manufacturers, which led to extended lead times for FYARRO and diversion of certain lab materials needed to support COVID-19 relief efforts. While these disruptions have been resolved, we are continuing to monitor our supply chain and contingency planning is ongoing with our partners to reduce the possibility of an interruption to our development activities or the availability of necessary materials.
Previous report
•We continue to build out 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 years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, with the first patient dosed in March 2022. We also expect our research and development costs to increase in 2024 and in future periods, as compared to 2023, based on anticipated expenses related to the two new clinical programs for FYARRO described under "Recent Developments - New Clinical Indi cations" above.
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.

Businesses have been and will continue to be impacted by a number of challenging global and national events and circumstances that continue to evolve, including the recent turmoil in the global banking system, public health epidemics, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, extreme weather conditions, increased economic uncertainty, inflation, rising interest rates, and geopolitical instability, including the conflicts in Ukraine, the Middle East and in other countries. The extent of the impact of these events and circumstances on our business, operations and development timelines and plans remains uncertain, and will depend on certain developments, including the duration and scope of the events and their impact on our development activities, third-party manufacturers, and other third parties with whom we do business, as well as its impact on regulatory authorities and our key scientific and management personnel. We have been and continue to actively monitor the potential impacts that these various events and circumstances may have on our business and we take steps, where warranted, to minimize any potential negative impacts on our business resulting from these events and circumstances. For example, as the COVID-19 pandemic developed, we took numerous steps to help ensure the health and safety of our employees. While we have resumed normal operations, any resurgence of the COVID-19 pandemic may cause us to reinstitute certain measures to protect employee safety, including staggered work hours or reduced in-person staffing, that could result in additional disruption and/or delays in our ability to conduct development activities.

Previous wording
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 incur substantial expenses associated with clinical trials. Accounting for clinical trials relating to activities performed by CROs and other external vendors requires us to exercise significant estimates in regard to the timing and accounting for these expenses. We estimate costs of research and development activities conducted by service providers, which include, the conduct of preclinical studies, contract manufacturing activities and clinical activities. The diverse nature of services being provided under CRO and other vendor arrangements, the different terms and milestone arrangements that exist for each type of service and the lack of timely information related to certain clinical activities complicates the estimation of accruals for services rendered by CROs and other vendors in connection with clinical trials. We record the estimated costs of research and development activities based upon the estimated amount of services provided but not yet invoiced and include these costs in the accrued and other current liabilities or prepaid expenses, as applicable, on the balance sheets and within research and development expense on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. In estimating the duration of a clinical study, we evaluate the start-up, treatment and wrap-up periods, payment arrangements and services rendered attributable to each clinical trial and fluctuations are regularly tested against payment plans and trial completion assumptions.
