Executive summary

• Clinical-stage development strategy centers on leronlimab in solid-tumor oncology, including completion of the Phase 2 CLOVER study and exploration of additional indications and partnerships.

• Substantial doubt about continuing as a going concern persists; ongoing development depends on additional capital, regulatory progress, and eventual product revenue.

Financial highlights

• Operating expenses rose 33% YoY to $6.6M; G&A increased 20% to $2.1M and R&D increased 40% to $4.5M.

• Net loss widened to $19.9M from $5.5M; included $12.3M non-cash note-extinguishment loss and $3.9M placement costs, partly offset by a $3.2M legal-settlement revaluation benefit.
