The company's cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities totaled $354.6 million as of March 31, 2025, which is anticipated to provide runway into the second half of 2027.

Research and development expenses decreased by $11.5 million, mainly due to a reduction in costs for the AL002 program and personnel-related costs from workforce reductions.

Forward Guidance

- Continued investment in research and development aims to identify new product candidates and expand existing ones.
- Focus on genetically validated targets and proprietary ABC technology aims to enhance therapeutic delivery and efficacy.
Challenges Ahead
