◦Troriluzole US NDA for spinocerebellar ataxia ("SCA"): In November 2025, we received a Complete Response Letter ("CRL") for the NDA seeking approval of troriluzole for SCA. In the CRL, the FDA recommended that we meet with the Division of Neurology 1 within the FDA's Office of Neuroscience (the "Division") to discuss the evidence that will be needed to support a future NDA for the treatment of SCA with troriluzole. Following receipt of the CRL, we have requested a Type A meeting with the FDA to initiate an appeal process, given the large number of patients who are currently being treated in the expanded access program. We remain committed to working with the FDA to find a path forward for our NDA and plan to meet with the FDA to discuss potential next steps.

Glutamate Modulation Platform
Previous report
The most advanced product candidate from our glutamate receptor antagonist platform is troriluzole (previously referred to as trigriluzole and BHV-4157), for which our New Drug Application (“NDA”) in Spinocerebellar Ataxia (“SCA”) has been accepted with priority review by the United States Food and Drug Administration (the "FDA") with a Prescription Drug User Fee Act date expected in the fourth quarter of 2025. Troriluzole is also being evaluated by the Global Coalition for Adaptive Research ("GCAR") as part of Glioblastoma Adaptive Global Innovative Learning Environment - NCT03970447 ("GBM AGILE"), a revolutionary patient-centered, adaptive platform trial for registration that tests multiple therapies for patients with newly-diagnosed and recurrent glioblastoma ("GBM"). Other product candidates include BHV-5500, an antagonist of the glutamate N-methyl-D-aspartate (“NMDA”) receptor and its oral prodrug BHV-5000.

Spinocerebellar Ataxia
Previous report
SCAs are a group of ultra-rare, dominantly inherited neurodegenerative disorders predominantly characterized by atrophy of the cerebellum, brainstem, and spinal cord. The disease course of SCA is one of relentless progression over years and inevitably leads to clinical deterioration of motor function, gait imbalance with frequent falling, severe speech impairment, swallowing difficulties, and premature death. SCAs are thought to be pathogenetically related but disease course and brain region involvement are known to vary between the different genotypes. SCA affects approximately 15,000 people in the United States and 24,000 in Europe and the United Kingdom. Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 3 ("SCA3"), also known as Machado-Joseph disease, is the most common genotype, and accounts for approximately 30% to 50% of SCAs worldwide. Currently, there are no approved symptomatic or neuroprotective treatments for SCA.
Previous report
In May 2022, we announced top-line results from the Phase 3 clinical trial (Study BHV4157-206) evaluating the efficacy and safety of its investigational therapy, troriluzole, in adult patients with SCA. The primary endpoint, change from baseline to week 48 on the modified functional Scale for the Assessment and Rating of Ataxia ("f-SARA"), did not reach statistical significance in the overall SCA population as there was less than expected disease progression in the placebo arm over the course of the study. Preliminary post hoc analysis of efficacy measures by genotype suggested a treatment effect in patients with the SCA3 genotype (p=0.045, LSM difference from placebo). A risk reduction in falls was also observed in the SCA3 population, as well as across all SCA genotypes. Troriluzole was well tolerated with an adverse event profile similar to placebo.
Previous report
Given these findings and the debilitating nature of SCA, in May 2023 we announced that we submitted an NDA to the FDA for troriluzole for the treatment of SCA3. In July 2023, the FDA informed us that it would not review this NDA given that the study's primary endpoint was not met and thus, would not permit a substantive review. We subsequently held follow-up meetings with the FDA regarding the SCA data. We had constructive dialogue with the FDA regarding our SCA development program and potential future data analyses to address regulatory concerns in the previously issued refuse-to-file decision on the NDA for SCA3.
Previous report
In October 2023, the EMA informed us that our Marketing Authorization Application ("MAA") for troriluzole (Dazluma) in the treatment of SCA3 was validated and was under review by EMA's Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use ("CHMP"). In the fourth quarter of 2024, we completed a clarification meeting with the CHMP Rapporteurs. The MAA documents were subsequently updated with a broader indication to include all SCA genotypes, in light of the new positive BHV4157-206-RWE study data (discussed below).
Previous report
In September 2024, we announced positive topline results from pivotal Study BHV4157-206-RWE (NCT06529146) demonstrating the efficacy of troriluzole on the mean change from baseline in the f-SARA after 3 years of treatment. The study achieved the primary endpoint (see figure below).
Previous report
Collectively, data across multiple analyses demonstrate a robust and clinically meaningful slowing of disease progression in SCA patients. These treatment benefits translate into a 50-70% slower rate of decline compared to untreated patients, representing 1.5-2.2 years delay in disease progression over the 3-year study period. Additionally, in a responder sensitivity analysis, disease progression when defined by a 2 point or greater worsening on the f-SARA at 3 years showed an odds ratio ("OR") of 4.1 (95% CI: 2.1, 8.1) for the untreated external control arm versus troriluzole treated subjects (p < 0.0001; pooled analysis).
Previous report
Study BHV4157-206-RWE was designed, in discussion with the FDA, to assess the effectiveness of troriluzole in SCA after 3 years of treatment as measured by the change from baseline in the f-SARA. The study utilized Phase 3 data and an external control of matched, untreated SCA subjects from the US Clinical Research Consortium for the Study of Cerebellar Ataxia ("CRC-SCA") in accordance with FDA's Guidance on Real-World Evidence ("RWE") of effectiveness. All endpoints were prespecified, and both the study protocol and statistical analysis plan were submitted to, and reviewed by, FDA prior to topline data analysis. The new analysis doubled the previously available 3 year data with 63 subjects now completing 3 years of treatment with troriluzole and matched to the external control arm. Propensity Score Matching ("PSM") was used to ensure that untreated patients from the CRC-SCA study were rigorously matched to treated patients from Study BHV4157-206 on baseline characteristics. The primary objective was to examine the treatment effects of troriluzole for up to 3 years, by comparing data on the f-SARA from patients treated with troriluzole in Study BHV4157-206 to untreated patients from the natural history study. Troriluzole-treated patients demonstrated statistically significant and sustained benefits at years 1, 2 and 3 on the f-SARA compared to a rigorously matched natural history control.
Previous report
Additionally, prespecified analyses in the protocol employed a separate, independent natural history control from the European SCA natural history study ("EUROSCA") for global regulatory purposes. Results using the EUROSCA patients, in addition to a pooled analysis using both CRC-SCA and EUROSCA patients, as the external controls were also statistically significant and consistent with the primary efficacy analysis at all timepoints (see figures below). The addition of EUROSCA data increased the external control sample size and added to the robustness of the statistically significant treatment differences at years 1, 2, and 3, favoring troriluzole.
Previous report
Based upon the topline data from Study BHV4157-206-RWE, and previous safety and efficacy data from the troriluzole development program in SCA, we submitted an NDA for the treatment of all SCA genotypes to the FDA in the fourth quarter of 2024. The troriluzole development program has generated the largest clinical trial dataset in SCA and now has follow-up in some patients treated with troriluzole for over 5 years. We previously received both Fast-Track and Orphan drug designation ("ODD") from the FDA, and ODD from the European Medicines Agency ("EMA"), for troriluzole in SCA. An NDA with ODD is eligible for priority FDA review.
Previous report
In February 2025, the FDA accepted for review our NDA for troriluzole for the treatment of adult patients with SCA and granted priority review. In May 2025, the Division of Neurology 1 within the FDA's Office of Neuroscience informed us that they were extending the Prescription Drug User Free Act ("PDUFA") date for the troriluzole NDA by three months to provide time for a full review of Biohaven's recent submissions related to information requests from the FDA. The Division also informed us that it is currently planning to hold an advisory committee meeting to discuss the application, but no date has been scheduled. The FDA did not raise any new concerns in the letter. The FDA's decision regarding the NDA is now expected during the fourth quarter of 2025. Based on FDA priority review timelines, if troriluzole is ultimately approved by the FDA, we expect to begin commercial activities for troriluzole for SCA in the U.S. in 2025. The FDA has conditionally approved the VYGLXIA® trade name for troriluzole, pending product approval.

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder & GBM
Previous report
In December 2021, GCAR selected troriluzole for evaluation in GBM AGILE. GBM AGILE is a revolutionary patient-centered, adaptive platform trial for registration that tests multiple therapies for patients with newly-diagnosed and recurrent GBM, the most fatal form of brain cancer. Troriluzole will be evaluated in all patient subgroups of the trial which include newly-diagnosed methylated MGMT, newly-diagnosed unmethylated MGMT, and recurrent GBM. Troriluzole was selected for inclusion in GBM AGILE based on compelling evidence showing deregulation of glutamate in GBM. The therapeutic potential of troriluzole in GBM and other oncology indications is supported by several recent clinical and translational research studies conducted with troriluzole and its active moiety.
Previous report
In July 2022, the Company and GCAR announced that enrollment has commenced in GBM AGILE for the evaluation of troriluzole. The study is currently ongoing.

Previous report
BHV-2100 is an orally-bioavailable small molecule antagonist of TRPM3. TRPM3 is expressed in the relevant human tissue types for pain and migraine, and both preclinical models and human genetics implicate TRPM3 in pain and migraine.
Previous report
In May 2024, we reported positive pharmacokinetic and safety data from the completed Phase 1 study with BHV-2100. The results demonstrated rapid absorption with therapeutic concentrations achieved by 20 minutes. The favorable tolerability profile at single doses up to 500 mg exceeds the anticipated therapeutic dose and is well above the EC90 concentration. Based on these findings, we initiated a proof-of-concept study of BHV-2100 in the acute treatment of migraine and a proof-of-concept study in pain in the fourth quarter of 2024.

In 2023, we initiated a Phase 1 open-label electroencephalogram ("EEG") study designed to evaluate the effects of BHV-7000 on changes from baseline in EEG spectral power after administration of single doses of BHV-7000 (10, 25, or 50 mg) to healthy adult volunteers. BHV-7000 was well-tolerated at all doses studied and EEG data showed dose-dependent increases in brain spectral power, with minimal power increase in the delta frequency band and the highest spectral power increases in the alpha, beta, and gamma frequency bands. The minimal impact of BHV-7000 on slower frequencies (i.e., delta) is consistent with the low incidence of central nervous system ("CNS") adverse events, in particular somnolence, seen in the BHV-7000 Phase 1 SAD/MAD studies, and the study results confirm the CNS activity of BHV-7000 at projected therapeutic concentrations.

Epilepsy affects approximately 3.5 million Americans, or more than 1.2% of adults and 0.6% of children in the U.S., and more than 50 million patients worldwide, according to the World Health Organization. It is the fourth most common neurological disorder, and many patients struggle to achieve freedom from seizures, with more than one third of patients requiring two or more medications to manage their epilepsy. While the use of anti-seizure medications is often accompanied by dose-limiting side effects, our clinical candidate BHV-7000 is specifically designed to target subtypes of Kv7 potassium channels without engagement of GABAA receptors. The lack of GABAA-R activity potentially gives BHV-7000 a wide therapeutic window which we expect to result in an improved side effect profile, limiting the somnolence and fatigue often seen in patients receiving anti-seizure medications. We aim to bring this potassium channel modulator as a potential solution to patients with epilepsy who remain uncontrolled on their current regimens.

Biohaven MoDE and TRAP degraders harness selectivity, rapidity and patient-friendly self-administration to remove disease-causing proteins from the body to potentially treat a range of diseases. Each MoDE or TRAP degrader is a novel bispecific molecule that targets a specific form of circulating protein and directs it to the liver for degradation by the endosomal/lysosomal pathway. Four Investigational New Drug Applications ("INDs") have been accepted by the FDA for MoDE degrader molecules in 2024 and multiple other investigational agents are in development. Three assets have been dosed in Phase 1 trials. BHV-1300 has demonstrated deep lowering of immunoglobulin G ("IgG") 1, 2 and 4 in Phase 1 clinical trials and is being developed as a proprietary subcutaneous formulation in conjunction with an autoinjector for easy-to-use self-administration. BHV-1400 and BHV-1600, Biohaven's first TRAP molecules, are concluding Phase 1 clinical trials in healthy volunteers and represent next generation MoDEs targeting very specific pathogenic antibodies, while sparing healthy immunoglobulin to preserve immune function. Data from the first, and lowest, dose cohort of BHV-1400 demonstrated clear differentiation from competitors in the IgA nephropathy space, with rapid lowering of Gd-IgA1 within hours and preservation of host immunoglobulins ("Ig") including IgG, IgA, IgE, and IgM. BHV-1400 is being developed as a subcutaneous formulation for the potential treatment of IgA nephropathy ("IgAN"), with expansion of the phase 1 studies to include patients with IgAN and the pivotal trial planned to initiate in 2026. Multiple new and novel investigational MoDE and TRAP molecules are in development for potential treatment of diseases, such as membranous nephropathy, Graves' disease, diabetes, and IgG4-mediated diseases.
Current wording
Biohaven MoDE and TRAP degraders harness selectivity, rapidity and patient-friendly self-administration to remove disease-causing proteins from the body to potentially treat a range of diseases. Each MoDE or TRAP degrader is a novel bispecific molecule that targets a specific form of circulating protein and directs it to the liver for degradation by the endosomal/lysosomal pathway. The first extracellular protein degraders in the clinic, three MoDE and TRAP degraders have now been dosed in Phase 1 trials. Our lead MoDE, BHV-1300, has demonstrated deep lowering of IgG > 80% in Phase 1 clinical trials and is being developed as a proprietary subcutaneous formulation in conjunction with an autoinjector for easy-to-use self-administration.

In March 2025, we provided updates to our ongoing Phase 1 study of BHV-1300. In the four-week Phase 1 study, subcutaneously administered BHV-1300 at a dose of 1000 mg weekly achieved rapid, deep and sustained reductions in total IgG of up to 84%, with a median reduction of 80% (see Figure 1 below). Reductions occurred within hours of each dose, were progressive, andwere sustained compared to baseline over the four-week period.

In the preliminary data reported, BHV-1300 was safe and well-tolerated in subcutaneous doses up to 2000 mg with no clinically significant increases in ALT, AST, or bilirubin, no clinically significant reductions in albumin, and no clinically significant increases in cholesterol over the four-week dosing period compared to placebo. There were no clinically significant reductions in IgG3, IgA, IgE, or IgM compared to baseline. Most AEs were mild and self-resolving, and there were no serious or severe AEs. The Phase 1 study has been expanded to evaluate the effect in participants with Graves' disease. We plan to initiate a pivotal trial of BHV-1300 in Graves’ disease in the second half of 2025 and expect to pursue additional follow-on studies in other autoimmune diseases.

In March 2025, we made the decision to withdraw the troriluzole MAA in the EU for the treatment of adult patients with SCA. This withdrawal decision was based on feedback indicating the EMA would not be able to conclude on new active substance ("NAS") status for troriluzole due to insufficient data. NAS is an important designation recognizing and incentivizing development innovation, validating the differentiation of a new medicinal product for patients. The novelty of troriluzole has been recognized by multiple issued patents globally, and we are committed to expeditiously providing appropriate data and/or argumentation to EMA given the evidence that warrants granting NAS, in the spirit in which the designation was intended. We plan to generate data within 3 months to work with EMA on next steps towards marketing authorization. We remain fully committed to a path forward for the development of troriluzole as an effective, safe and well tolerated treatment option for patients with SCA and will work towards an MAA as expeditiously as possible.

BHV-7000 75 mg once daily, the highest dose of BHV-7000 being evaluated in Phase 2/3 trials, was safe and well-tolerated in this study. No adverse trends in vital signs, ECGs, or labs were noted. There were no treatment emergent serious adverse events. Most adverse events were mild in intensity and resolved spontaneously. These data further support our belief that for epilepsy and MDD, BHV-7000 offers a highly favorable and differentiated tolerability profile compared to other antiseizure medicines, including a low incidence of somnolence and dizziness consistent with a lack of GABA effects.

The study is a Phase-1b, randomized, double-blind, placebo and active reference controlled, crossover trial to assess the anti-nociceptive and anti-hyperalgesic effects of single oral doses of BHV-2100 (25 mg, 75 mg, and 150 mg) vs. placebo, in a cohort of approximately 24 healthy male volunteer participants, utilizing a laser-evoked potential experimental pain paradigm. In May 2025, we presented data showing that BHV-2100 reduced laser heat-induced pain in healthy volunteers. Statistically significant pain reduction was observed in inflamed skin on the visual analog scale with low dose (p=0.036) and high dose (p=0.015). BHV-2100 numerically increased the weighted needle threshold (higher threshold suggests less mechanical pain). Moreover, BHV-2100 had no effect on body temperature or heat pain threshold.

Non-cash share-based compensation expense was $7.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, an increase of $2.5 million as compared to the same period in 2024. Non-cash share-based compensation expense was higher in 2025 primarily due to our annual equity incentive awards granted in the first quarter of 2025.

Other income, net was other income of $14.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to other income of $18.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease of $4.2 million was primarily due to decreased investment income and an increase in non-cash losses related to changes in fair value of our notes payable liability under the NPA, partially offset by an increase in gains recorded for the non-cash changes in the fair value of our forward contracts and derivative liabilities recorded in connection with the Knopp Amendment. See Note 2, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies," and Note 6, "Notes Payable," to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q for discussion of the NPA and Note 4, "Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities," and Note 11, "License, Acquisitions and Other Agreements,"for discussion of the forward contract and derivative liabilities recorded in connection with the Knopp Amendment.

BHV-1400 , Biohaven's first TRAP molecule, is concluding Phase 1 clinical trials in healthy volunteers and represents a next generation MoDE targeting very specific pathogenic antibodies, while sparing healthy immunoglobulin to preserve immune function. Data from the first, and lowest, dose cohort of BHV-1400 demonstrated clear differentiation from competitors in the IgA nephropathy space, with deep, rapid lowering of Gd-IgA1 within hours and preservation of host immunoglobulins ("Ig") including IgG, IgA, IgE, and IgM. BHV-1400 is being developed as a subcutaneous formulation for the potential treatment of IgA nephropathy ("IgAN"), with expansion of the Phase 1 studies to include patients with IgAN and the pivotal trial planned to initiate in 2026.

R&D expenses, including non-cash share-based compensation costs, were $184.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $314.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease of $130.5 million was primarily due to a one-time non-cash expense during the three months ended June 30, 2024 of $171.9 million paid to Knopp for a milestone and royalty buyback related to the BHV-7000 and broader Kv7 platform (the buyback reduced our potential future milestone payments by $867.5 million, and replaced the scaled high single digit to low teens royalty payment obligations with a flat royalty payment in the mid-single digits for the Kv7 programs). The decrease was partially offset by increased direct program spend for advancing clinical trials and preclinical research programs in 2025, including one-time developmental milestone payments of $15.0 million and $10.0 million for our BHV-8000 and BHV-1530 programs, respectively, as well as increased non-cash share-based compensation expense.
