Current report
We are a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company aiming to transform the lives of patients by establishing a new class of medicines that engage intracellular targets that have long been considered inaccessible. Through proprietary, versatile and modular approaches, we are advancing a robust development portfolio of genetic medicines for the potential treatment of neuromuscular and inherited retinal diseases, among others. In 2026, we expect to progress our ENTR-601-44 and ENTR-601-45 clinical trials, an EU filing for the ENTR-601-50 clinical trial, and regulatory submissions for ENTR-601-51. In addition, our VX-670 partnership with Vertex Pharmaceuticals Incorporated (“Vertex”) continues to progress, with dosing completion anticipated in mid-2026. We anticipate reporting on the results of two cohorts of patient data from our ENTR-601-44 program, and one from our ENTR-601-45 program during 2026. As of December 31, 2025, we had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of$295.7 million. Based on our current operating plans, we believe that our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of December 31, 2025 will be sufficient to fund our operations into the third quarter of 2027.
Current report
Collaboration revenue was$25.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 and$210.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease of$185.4 million was primarily a result of fewer costs incurred for VX-670 during the year ended December 31, 2025 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2024, as we substantially completed our research plan activities for VX-670 during the first quarter of 2025.
Current report
•an increase of$10.7 million in direct research and development expenses, driven by additional costs incurred related to the progress of our Duchenne programs, partially offset by fewer costs incurred related to our collaboration with Vertex; and
Current report
•an increase of$6.3 million in unallocated research and development expenses driven by an increase in personnel costs of 6.5 million and a decrease in facilities related costs of 0.2 million. Personnel costs are inclusive of stock-based compensation expense of$8.7 million and$7.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Current report
In November 2025, the Company entered into a sales agreement (the "Sales Agreement"), with TD Securities (USA) LLC (f/k/a Cowen and Company, LLC), acting as the Company's agent and/or principal (the "Sales Agent"), with respect to an "at the market offering" program under which the Company may, from time to time, at its sole discretion, issue and sell shares of its common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $150.0 million through the Sales Agent. During the year ended December 31, 2025, there have been no sales of common stock pursuant to the Sales Agreement.
Current report
On April 29, 2025, our board of directors approved a strategic plan, designed to increase the focus of our resources on our expanding portfolio of clinical candidates in DMD and key preclinical programs. In connection with the new strategic plan, we reduced our workforce by approximately 20% (the "Reduction"). As a result of the Reduction, we incurred charges of $1.9 million, primarily consisting of one-time severance payments and employee termination-related benefits during the year ended December 31, 2025. $1.7 million of the charge was recorded as research and development expenses and $0.2 million of the charge was recorded as general and administrative expenses. We do not expect to incur additional charges related to the Reduction.
Current report
We are also a “smaller reporting company” because the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates was less than $250 million as of June 30, 2025. We may continue to be a smaller reporting company if either (i) the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $250 million or (ii) our annual revenue was less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year and the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700 million. If we are a smaller reporting company at the time we cease to be an emerging growth company, we may continue to rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements that are available to smaller reporting companies. Specifically, as a smaller reporting company we may choose to present only the two most recent fiscal years of audited financial statements in our Annual Report and, similar to emerging growth companies, smaller reporting companies have reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation.

December 31, 2024 was driven largely by the current tax liability associated with the $75.0 million payment for the achievement of the clinical advancement milestone for VX-670 and $1.7 million in related interest owed to taxing authorities pursuant to Section 453A. The income tax expense recorded for the year ended December 31, 2023 was driven largely by the current tax liability associated with the tax recognition of the upfront payment received pursuant to the Vertex Agreement and the capitalization of research and development expenses under Section 174. For both periods, a significant portion of the taxable income related to the collaboration payments was offset by current year expenses and prior year accumulated losses.

The fair value of each stock option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which requires inputs based on certain subjective assumptions, including the expected share price volatility, the expected term of the option, the risk-free interest rate for a period that approximates the expected term of the option, and our expected dividend yield. Prior to our IPO, there was no public market for our common stock, and consequently, the estimated fair value of our common stock was determined by our board of directors as of the date of each option grant, with input from management, considering third-party valuations of our common stock as well as our board of directors’ assessment of additional objective and subjective factors that it believed were relevant and which may have changed from the date of the most recent third-party valuation through the date of the grant. These third-party valuations were performed in accordance with the guidance outlined in the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ Accounting and Valuation Guide, Valuation of Privately-Held-Company Equity Securities Issued as Compensation(“Practice Aid”). The Practice Aid identifies various available methods for allocating the enterprise value across classes of series of capital stock in determining the fair value of our common stock at each valuation date. Since our IPO, we have determined the fair market value of our common stock using the closing price of our common stock as reported on the Nasdaq Global Market on the date of grant.

We expect to incur significant expenses and operating losses for the foreseeable future as we advance the preclinical and, if successful, the clinical development of our programs. In addition, we expect to incur additional costs associated with operating as a public company. Our operating expenses and future funding requirements are expected to increase substantially as we continue to advance our portfolio of programs. Based on our current operating plans, we believe that our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of December 31, 2024 will be sufficient to fund our operations into the second quarter of 2027. We have based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could utilize our available capital resources sooner than we expect.

For both periods, a significant portion of the taxable income related to the collaboration payments was offset by current year expenses and prior year accumulated losses.
