• Achieved key clinical milestone with all active patients in Phase 1 Part 3 study of DA-1726 reaching highest planned dose levels (48 mg and 64 mg).

• Presented promising clinical data for DA-1726, showing up to 9.1% mean body weight reduction and improvements in liver biomarkers, with new data presented at major scientific conferences.

• Advanced vanoglipel as a differentiated combination therapy for metabolic and liver diseases, with preclinical data supporting anti-fibrotic potential.

• Four legacy programs are being considered for out-licensing or divestiture.

Financial highlights

• Net loss of $5.3 million for Q2 2026, compared to $4.0 million in Q2 2025; net loss of $9.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, versus $7.7 million in the prior year period.

• Total operating expenses increased 25.2% year-over-year for Q2 2026, mainly due to higher R&D expenses, which rose to $3.5 million (up 49.9% YoY), driven by DA-1726 clinical trial activities.
