Previous wording
We are advancing ourin vivo programs to cure two of the largest genetic liver diseases, Wilson Disease and AATD. Both programs are currently in late stages of pre-clinical development and are on track for IND and/or Clinical Trial Application filings in the first half of 2026 for Wilson Disease and the middle of 2026 for AATD. We intend to leverage the modularity of our platform to expeditiously and efficiently develop these programs supported by our universal liver lipid nanoparticle along with potential regulatory, clinical and other synergies from our modular technology.
Current wording
We are advancing ourin vivo programs to cure two of the largest genetic liver diseases, Wilson disease and AATD. In June 2026, we received clearance of the CTA for PM577a, an investigational Prime Editor for Wilson disease, in New Zealand, representing the first clinical authorization for one of ourin vivo Prime Editing therapies and enabling the initiation of our global Phase 1/2 clinical trial. In July 2026, the FDA cleared our IND application for PM577a. The IND clearance opens participation in our global Phase 1/2 clinical trial to patients in the United States, where H1069Q is the single most common pathogenic variant causing Wilson disease. Additionally, we are on track for IND application submission and/or CTA filing in the third quarter of 2026 for PM647 in AATD. We intend to leverage the modularity of our platform to expeditiously and efficiently develop these programs supported by our universal liver lipid nanoparticle along with potential regulatory, clinical and other synergies from our modular technology.
Previous wording
We also continue to advance our in vivo Cystic Fibrosis program with support from Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and our efforts to develop Prime Edited CAR-T products for hematology, immunology, and oncology in partnership with BMS. In addition, we will continue to pursue additional business development opportunities to accelerate innovation, ensure the broadest application of Prime Editing, and further bolster our financial resources.

In June 2026, the FDA granted RMAT designation for PM359, which provides opportunities for intensive FDA guidance and potential expedited review during the program’s development.

Since our inception, we have incurred significant operating losses.

To date, we have funded our operations primarily with proceeds from sales of preferred stock and from our public offerings and through payments from our collaboration partners.

In November 2023, we entered into the Sales Agreement with Jefferies under which we may, from time to time, issue and sell shares of our common stock having an aggregate sales proceeds of up to $300.0 million, in a series of one or more at-the-market equity offerings as part of our 2023 ATM Program. Any shares will be sold pursuant to the Registration Statement and the sales agreement prospectus filed therewith, which covers the offer and sale of shares of our common stock under the 2023 ATM Program having an aggregate offering price of up to $200.0 million of the $300.0 million authorized under the Sales Agreement. If we wish to offer and sell additional shares of our common stock under the Sales Agreement in excess of the $200.0 million registered under the Registration Statement, for up to an additional $100.0 million, we must file with the SEC one or more additional prospectus supplements to register under the Securities Act, the offer and sale of any such additional shares of our common stock we wish to offer and sell from time to time under the Sales Agreement.

We will pay Jefferies a commission equal to 3.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds we receive from each sale of our shares of common stock. Our common stock will be sold at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale, and as a result, prices may vary. As of March 31, 2026, we have not sold any shares of common stock under the 2023 ATM Program.

Since our inception, we have incurred substantial losses. As of March 31, 2026, we had an accumulated deficit of $937.5 million and we expect to generate operating losses and negative operating cash flows for the foreseeable future.

In accordance with ASC 205-40, we evaluated whether there are conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date on which this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is filed. Based on the our cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments as of March 31, 2026, our current and forecasted level of operations and forecasted cash flows, our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to obtain the necessary financing to meet our obligations and repay our liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. Management plans to provide for capital requirements through financing or other transactions, and selling shares under our “at the market offering” program. There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise additional capital to fund operations with terms acceptable to us, or at all. Because certain elements of our plans to mitigate the conditions that raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern are outside of our control, including the ability to raise capital through an equity or other financing, those elements cannot be considered probable according to ASC 205-40, and therefore cannot be considered in the evaluation of mitigating factors. As a result, we concluded that substantial doubt exists about our ability to continue as a going concern for 12 months from the date these condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.
