Rocket Pharmaceuticals, Inc. experienced a decrease in net loss for the first quarter of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to a reduction in research and development expenses, despite an increase in general and administrative costs.
Net loss improved to $61.334 million in Q1 2025 from $62.054 million in Q1 2024.
Total operating expenses decreased by $2.987 million, driven by lower R&D expenses.
Research and development expenses decreased by $9.285 million, partially due to a $2.7 million CIRM grant.
General and administrative expenses increased by $6.298 million, mainly due to commercial preparation and legal fees.
The Company expects R&D expenses to increase as programs advance and clinical trials continue. Future revenue generation is uncertain and dependent on successful product development and regulatory approvals.
