Overview
We are a precision oncology company pioneering the discovery and development of small molecule, tumor-agnostic therapies targeting p53. p53 is a well-defined tumor suppressor protein known as the “guardian of the genome,” and normal, or wild-type, p53 has the ability to eliminate cancer cells. However, mutant p53 proteins can be misfolded and lose their wild-type tumor suppressing function. These p53 mutations are found in approximately half of all cancers. The field of p53 biology was established by our co-founder Dr. Arnold Levine when he discovered the p53 protein in 1979. We have leveraged more than four decades of research experience and developed unique insights into p53 to create a precision oncology platform designed to generate selective, small molecule, tumor-agnostic therapies that structurally correct specific mutant p53 proteins to restore their wild-type function. We are deploying our precision oncology platform to target p53 mutations and other p53-related cancers.
Since our formation in March 2013, we have devoted substantially all of our time and efforts to performing research and development activities and raising capital. We are not profitable and have incurred losses in each year since our inception. Our net losses were $78.0 million, $58.7 million, and $69.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $446.7 million. We do not currently have any product candidates approved for sale, and we continue to incur significant research and development and general administrative expenses related to our operations. We initiated a Phase 1/2 clinical trial, PYNNACLE, in October 2020 for our lead product candidate, rezatapopt. Our strategy is to seek approval under an accelerated pathway, and we believe the Phase 2 portion of the PYNNACLE clinical trial has the potential to serve as a pivotal study. In October 2020, we were granted FDA Fast Track designation of rezatapopt for the treatment of patients with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors that have a p53 Y220C mutation. In July 2023, we met with the FDA at an End of Phase 1 meeting where alignment was obtained on the recommended Phase 2 dose and key elements of the single arm, Phase 2 registrational portion of the PYNNACLE study. In October 2023, we presented our updated Phase 1 clinical data for rezatapopt at the 2023 AACR-NCI-EORTC International Conference on Molecular Targets and Cancer Therapeutics Annual Meeting. We dosed our first patient in the pivotal Phase 2 monotherapy portion of the PYNNACLE study in the first quarter of 2024. In September 2025, we announced interim data from the Phase 2 pivotal portion of the PYNNACLE clinical trial, which was updated in October 2025 in a late-breaking oral presentation and poster presentation at the 2025 AACR-NCI-EORTC International Conference on Molecular Targets and Cancer Therapeutics Meeting. In March 2026, rezatapopt was granted ODD from the FDA for the treatment of TP53 Y220C positive ovarian cancer, fallopian tube cancer, and primary peritoneal cancer. We plan to submit a New Drug Application, or NDA, for the treatment of patients with platinum-resistant/refractory ovarian cancer harboring a TP53 Y220C mutation to the FDA for rezatapopt in the first quarter of 2027.
We expect that our operating expenses will increase significantly as we advance our product candidates through preclinical and clinical development, seek regulatory approval, and prepare for and, if approved, proceed to commercialization; acquire, discover, validate, and develop additional product candidates; obtain, maintain, protect,
91
and enforce our intellectual property portfolio; and hire additional personnel. We expect to continue to incur significant losses for the foreseeable future.
Our ability to generate product revenue will depend on the successful development, regulatory approval, and eventual commercialization of one or more of our product candidates. Until such time as we can generate significant revenue from product sales, if ever, we expect to finance our operations through private or public equity or debt financings, collaborative, or other arrangements with corporate sources, or through other sources of financing. Adequate funding may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. If we fail to raise capital or enter into such agreements as and when needed, we may have to significantly delay, scale back or discontinue the development and commercialization of our product candidates.
We plan to continue to use third-party service providers, including clinical research organizations, or CROs, and contract manufacturing organization, or CMOs, to carry out our preclinical and clinical development and to manufacture and supply the materials to be used during the development and commercialization of our product candidates. We do not currently have a sales force.
Components of Results of Operations
Revenue
To date, we have not generated any revenue from any sources, including from product sales, and we do not expect to generate any revenue from the sale of products in the foreseeable future. If our development efforts for our product candidates are successful and result in regulatory approval, or result in license agreements with third parties, we may generate revenue in the future from product sales or license agreements. However, there can be no assurance as to when we will generate such revenue, if at all.
Operating Expenses
Research and Development Expenses
Our research and development expenses consist primarily of costs incurred to conduct research, such as the discovery and development of our product candidates as well as the development of future product candidates. Research and development expenses include personnel costs, including stock-based compensation expense, third-party contractor services, laboratory materials and supplies, and depreciation and maintenance of research equipment. We expense research and development costs as they are incurred.
We do not allocate our costs by product candidate or development program, as a significant amount of research and development expenses include compensation costs, materials, supplies, depreciation on and maintenance of research equipment, and the cost of services provided by outside contractors, which are not tracked by product candidate or development program. In particular, with respect to internal costs, several of our departments support multiple product candidate research and development programs, and therefore the costs cannot be allocated to a particular product candidate or development program. Substantially all of our research and development costs are associated with our lead product candidate, rezatapopt. We initiated our Phase 1/2 PYNNACLE clinical trial in October 2020, and on that date, we were granted FDA Fast Track designation of rezatapopt for the treatment of patients with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors that have a p53 Y220C mutation. In October 2023, we presented our updated Phase 1 clinical data for rezatapopt at the 2023 AACR-NCI-EORTC International Conference on Molecular Targets and Cancer Therapeutics Meeting. In September 2025, we announced interim data from the Phase 2 pivotal portion of the PYNNACLE clinical trial, which was updated in October 2025 in a late-breaking oral presentation and poster presentation at the 2025 AACR-NCI-EORTC International Conference on Molecular Targets and Cancer Therapeutics Meeting. In March 2026, rezatapopt was granted ODD from the FDA for the treatment of TP53 Y220C positive ovarian cancer, fallopian tube cancer, and primary peritoneal cancer. We plan to submit an NDA for the treatment of patients with platinum-resistant/refractory ovarian cancer harboring a TP53 Y220C mutation to the FDA for rezatapopt in the first quarter of 2027.
We expect our research and development expenses to increase substantially in absolute dollars in the future as we advance our product candidates into and through clinical trials and pursue regulatory approval of our product
92
candidates. The process of conducting the necessary clinical research to obtain regulatory approval is costly and time-consuming. The actual probability of success for our product candidates may be affected by a variety of factors including: the safety and efficacy of our product candidates, clinical data, investment in our clinical program, the ability of any future collaborators to successfully develop our licensed product candidates, competition, manufacturing capability, and commercial viability. We may never succeed in achieving regulatory approval for any of our product candidates. As a result of the uncertainties discussed above, we are unable to determine the duration and completion costs of our research and development projects.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses include personnel costs, expenses for outside professional services and other allocated expenses. Personnel costs consist of salaries, bonuses, benefits, and stock-based compensation. Outside professional services consist of legal, accounting and audit services and other consulting fees. Allocated expenses consist of rent expense related to our office and research and development facilities. We have incurred expenses related to compliance with the rules and regulations of the SEC, and those of any national securities exchange on which our securities are traded, additional insurance expenses, investor relations activities and other administrative and professional services. We also expect to increase our general and administrative expenses as we advance our product candidates through preclinical research and development, manufacturing, clinical development, and commercialization.
Interest Income, Net
Interest income, net, primarily consists of interest income from our interest-bearing cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities, and interest costs related to accretion and amortization of discounts and premiums on marketable securities.

Research and Development Expenses
The following table summarizes our research and development expenses incurred during the periods indicated (in thousands):
Year Ended
December 31,
Statement of operations data: 2025 2024 Change
Research and development expenses were $69.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $58.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase of $11.4 million was primarily due to the following:
•
$13.1 million increase in development and personnel related expenses, largely driven by increased CRO costs for advancing our lead product candidate, rezatapopt, through the Phase 2 clinical trial; offset by
•
$0.7 million decrease in research related costs driven by decreased pre-clinical CRO costs; and
•
$1.0 million decrease for stock-based compensation.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses were $16.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $26.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease of $10.6 million was primarily due to the following:
•
$7.7 million decrease in facility related costs due to the termination of our lease for our prior headquarters located at One Research Way in Princeton, New Jersey; and
•
$0.4 million decrease in general and administrative consulting costs, $0.1 million decrease in director and officer insurance fees, and $2.4 million decrease in expenses for personnel related costs and stock-based compensation.
Interest Income, Net
Interest income, net, primarily consists of interest income from our interest-bearing cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities and interest costs related to amortization of premiums and discounts on marketable securities. Interest income, net was $6.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $10.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease of $4.3 million was primarily due to the amount of, and reduction of interest rates with respect to, our cash investments in marketable securities and U.S. treasuries.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our financial condition is summarized as follows (in thousands):
As of December 31,
Financial assets:

Working capital:
Sources of Liquidity
Since our inception, we have not generated any revenue from any product sales or any other sources and have incurred significant operating losses and negative cash flows from our operations. We have not yet commercialized any of our product candidates and we do not expect to generate revenue from sales of any product candidates for several years, if at all. As of December 31, 2025, we had cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities of $112.9 million and an accumulated deficit of $446.5 million. We have financed our operations primarily through issuance and sales of our equity securities.
On November 20, 2024 we filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-283349) with the SEC and a prospectus supplement, which registered the offering, issuance and sale of up to $200,000,000 of various equity and debt securities and up to $113.8 million of common stock pursuant to an at-the-market equity offering program with Jefferies LLC, dated October 4, 2021, or the ATM Program. The SEC declared the registration statement effective on November 27, 2024. During the year ending December 31, 2025, we did not sell any shares of our common stock pursuant to the ATM Program. As of December 31, 2025, we had approximately $113.8 million remaining in gross proceeds available for future issuances of common stock under the ATM Program.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
We enter into contracts in the normal course of business with CROs and other vendors to assist in the performance of our research and development activities and other services and products for operating purposes. These contracts generally provide for termination on notice, and therefore are cancelable contracts and not included in the table of contractual obligations and commitments.
In September 2024, we signed two subleases, one for 14,201 square feet of office space at 400 Alexander Park Drive, Suite 301, in Princeton, New Jersey, to be used as our new headquarters, or the 400 Alexander Sublease, and the other for 3,205 square feet of office and laboratory space at 311 Pennington Rocky Hill in Hopewell, New Jersey, to be used for our new laboratory space, or the 311 Pennington Sublease. The 400 Alexander Sublease term extends until February 2027, and the 311 Pennington Sublease term extends until December 2029 and has a three-year extension option. Amounts related to future lease payments for 311 Pennington Sublease as of December 31, 2025, totaled $0.6 million with $0.1 million to be paid within the next 12 months. Amounts related to future lease payments for 400 Alexander Sublease as of December 31, 2025, totaled $0.4 million with $0.3 million to be paid within the next 12 months.
95
Plan of Operation and Future Funding Requirements
We use our capital resources primarily to fund operating expenses, mainly research and development expenditures. At this time, due to the inherently unpredictable nature of preclinical and clinical development, we cannot reasonably estimate the costs we will incur and the timelines that will be required to complete development, obtain marketing approval and commercialize our current product candidates or any future product candidates, if at all. For the same reasons, we are also unable to predict when, if ever, we will generate revenue from product sales or whether, or when, if ever, we may achieve profitability. Clinical and preclinical development timelines, the probability of success, and development costs can differ materially from expectations. In addition, we cannot forecast which product candidates may be subject to future collaborations, when such arrangements will be secured, if at all, and to what degree such arrangements would affect our development plans and capital requirements.
Due to our significant research and development expenditures, we have generated substantial operating losses in each period since inception. We have incurred an accumulated deficit of $446.5 million through December 31, 2025. We expect to incur substantial additional losses in the future. Our cash operating expenditures were $73.6 million in 2025 and $51.3 million in 2024. Based on our research and development plans, we expect that our cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities balances as of December 31, 2025 will be sufficient to fund our planned operations until the end of the second quarter of 2027.
We have based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, however, and we could use our capital resources sooner than we expect.
The timing and amount of our operating expenditures will depend largely on:
•
the timing and progress of preclinical and clinical development activities;
•
the number and scope of preclinical and clinical programs we decide to pursue;
•
the timing and amount of milestone payments we may receive under any future collaboration agreements;
•
our ability to maintain future licenses and research and development programs and to establish new collaboration and/or in-licensing arrangements;
•
the costs involved in prosecuting and enforcing patent and other intellectual property claims;
•
the cost and timing of regulatory approvals; and
•
our efforts to manage our office and laboratory headquarters, enhance operational systems and hire additional personnel to support development of our product candidates and satisfy our obligations as a public company.
Until such time, if ever, as we can generate substantial revenue from product sales, we expect to fund our operations and capital funding needs through equity and/or debt financing. We may also consider entering into collaboration arrangements or selectively partnering for clinical development and commercialization. The sale of additional equity would result in additional dilution to our stockholders. The incurrence of debt financing would result in debt service obligations and the instruments governing such debt could provide for operating and financing covenants that would restrict our operations or our ability to incur additional indebtedness or pay dividends, among other items. If we raise additional funds through governmental funding, collaborations, strategic partnerships and alliances or marketing, distribution, or licensing arrangements with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams, research programs or product candidates or grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us. If we are not able to secure adequate additional funding, we may be forced to make reductions in spending, extend payment terms with suppliers, liquidate assets where possible, and/or suspend or curtail planned programs. Any of these actions could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Cash Flows
The following table summarizes our cash flows for the period indicated (in thousands):
Year Ended
December 31,
Cash provided by (used in) financing activities 505 313 35,577
Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2025, was $73.6 million, which consisted primarily of net loss of $77.7 million decreased by non-cash charges of $3.3 million and increased by a net change of $0.9 million in our net operating assets and liabilities. The non-cash charges primarily consisted of stock-based compensation of $5.9 million; offset by accretion of discounts on marketable securities of $2.8 million. The change in our net operating assets and liabilities was primarily due to a decrease in other assets and an increase in accrued expenses.
Net cash used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2024, was $51.3 million, which consisted primarily of net loss of $58.7 million decreased by non-cash charges of $9.0 million and decreased by a net change of $1.6 million in our net operating assets and liabilities. The non-cash charges primarily consisted of stock-based compensation of $8.9 million, depreciation of $1.1 million, and accretion of discounts on marketable securities of $5.4 million. The change in our net operating assets and liabilities was primarily due to an increase in operating lease liabilities and other assets and an increase in accrued expenses.
Investing Activities
Our investing activities provided $70.2 million of cash during the year ended December 31, 2025, which consisted primarily of maturities of marketable securities of $158 million, offset by purchases of marketable securities of $88.2 million.
Our investing activities provided $53.4 million of cash during the year ended December 31, 2024, which consisted primarily of maturities of marketable securities of $202 million, offset by purchases of marketable securities of $148.3 million, along with purchase of property and equipment of $0.7 million.
Financing Activities
Our financing activities provided $0.5 million of cash during the year ended December 31, 2025 which consisted of $0.5 million of proceeds from the exercise of stock options and issuance of common stock under the 2020 ESPP.
Our financing activities provided $0.3 million of cash during the year ended December 31, 2024 which consisted of $0.3 million of proceeds from the exercise of stock options and issuance of common stock under the 2020 ESPP.
97
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in those consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Although we believe that the estimates we use are reasonable, due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making those estimates, actual results reported in future periods could differ from those estimates.
We believe that the accounting policies described below involve a high degree of judgment and complexity. Accordingly, these are the policies we believe are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our financial condition and results of our operations. The following summary should be read in conjunction with Note 2 of the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Research and Development Costs, Accrued Research and Development Costs and Related Prepaid Expenses
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development expenses consist principally of personnel costs, including salaries, stock-based compensation and benefits for employees, third-party license fees and other operational costs related to our research and development activities, including sourcing of raw materials and manufacturing of our product candidates, allocated facility-related expenses and external costs of outside vendors, and other direct and indirect costs. Non-refundable research and development advance payments are deferred and capitalized. The capitalized amounts are expensed as the related goods are delivered or services are performed.
As part of the process of preparing our consolidated financial statements, we are required to estimate our accrued research and development expenses. This process involves reviewing open contracts and purchase orders, communicating with our applicable personnel to identify services that have been performed on our behalf and estimating the level of service performed and the associated cost incurred for the service when we have not yet been invoiced or otherwise notified of actual costs. The majority of our service providers invoice us in arrears for services performed, on a pre-determined schedule or when contractual milestones are met; however, some require advance payments. We make estimates of our accrued expenses as of each balance sheet date in the consolidated financial statements based on facts and circumstances known to us at that time. We periodically confirm the accuracy of the estimates with the service providers and make adjustments if necessary. Examples of estimated accrued research and development expenses include fees paid to:
•
vendors, including research laboratories, in connection with preclinical development activities;
•
CROs and investigative sites in connection with preclinical studies and clinical trials; and
•
CMOs in connection with drug substance and drug product formulation of preclinical studies and clinical trial materials.
We base our expenses related to preclinical studies and clinical trials on our estimates of the services received and efforts expended pursuant to quotes and contracts with multiple research institutions and CROs that supply, conduct and manage preclinical studies and clinical trials on our behalf. The financial terms of these agreements are subject to negotiation, vary from contract to contract and may result in uneven payment flows. There may be instances in which payments made to our vendors will exceed the level of services provided and result in a prepayment of the expense. Payments under some of these contracts depend on factors such as the successful enrollment of patients and the completion of clinical trial milestones. In accruing service fees, we estimate the time period over which services will be performed and the level of effort to be expended in each period. If the actual timing of the performance of services or the level of effort varies from the estimate, we adjust the accrual or the prepaid expense accordingly. Although we do not expect our estimates to be materially different from amounts actually incurred, our understanding of the status and timing of services performed relative to the actual status and timing of services performed may vary and may result in reporting amounts that are too high or too low in any particular period. To date, there have not been any material adjustments to our prior estimates of accrued research and development expenses.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Formation and Business of the Company
Organization and Liquidity
PMV Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the state of Delaware in March 2013. Since inception, the Company has devoted substantially all of its time and efforts to performing research and development activities and raising capital. The Company is a precision oncology company pioneering the discovery and development of small molecule, tumor-agnostic therapies targeting p53. The Company’s headquarters are located at 400 Alexander Park Drive, Suite 301, Princeton, New Jersey.
The Company is subject to risks and uncertainties common to clinical stage companies in the biotechnology industry including, but not limited to, technical risks associated with the successful research, development and manufacturing of product candidates, development by competitors of new technological innovations, dependence on key personnel, protection of proprietary technology, compliance with government regulations and the ability to secure additional capital to fund operations. Current and future programs will require significant research and development efforts, including extensive preclinical and clinical testing and regulatory approval prior to commercialization. These efforts require significant amounts of additional capital, adequate personnel, and infrastructure. Even if the Company’s product development efforts are successful, it is uncertain when, if ever, the Company will realize significant revenue from product sales.
The Company has incurred net losses and negative cash flows from operations since its inception. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company incurred a net loss of $77,742 and used $73,577 of cash for operations. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $446,454. Cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities were $112,943 as of December 31, 2025. Management expects to incur substantial additional operating losses for the next several years and may need to obtain additional debt or equity financings in order to complete development of its products, obtain regulatory approvals, launch and commercialize its products and continue research and development programs. The Company believes it has adequate cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities to operate for the next 12 months from the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The audited consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”).
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the Company’s accounts and the accounts of its wholly owned subsidiary, PMV Pharma Australia Pvt Ltd. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation. These consolidated financial statements are presented in United States (“U.S.”) Dollars, which is also the functional currency of the Company.
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business. The Company has limited operating history and its prospects are subject to risks, expenses and uncertainties frequently encountered by companies in the biotechnology industry.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on historical experience when available and on various factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances.
107
Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in these consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, research and development costs, accrued research and development costs and related prepaid expenses, and stock-based compensation. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company discloses and recognizes the fair value of its assets and liabilities using a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the reporting date. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to valuations based upon unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to valuations based upon unobservable inputs that are significant to the valuation (Level 3 measurements). The guidance establishes three levels of the fair value hierarchy as follows:
•
Level 1 - Inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.
•
Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, including inputs in markets that are not considered to be active.
•
Level 3 - Inputs are unobservable in which there is little or no market data available, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions that are unobservable.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires management to make judgments and consider factors specific to the asset or liability.
Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Marketable Securities
Management considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
The Company’s marketable debt securities have been classified and accounted for as available-for-sale. The Company classifies its marketable debt securities as either short-term or long-term based on each instrument’s underlying contractual maturity date. Marketable debt securities with maturities of 12 months or less are classified as short-term and marketable debt securities with maturities greater than 12 months are classified as long-term. The Company’s marketable debt securities are carried at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses, net of taxes, reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in stockholders’ equity. Premiums and discounts on marketable debt securities are amortized into earnings over the life of the security and recorded on the interest income, net line of the income statement. For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, the Company recorded $2,771 of accretion, $5,371 of accretion, and $5,386 of accretion, respectively.
Comprehensive Loss and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Other comprehensive income (loss) is defined as the change in equity during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources, including unrealized gains and losses on investments and foreign currency translation gains and losses.
Leases
At the inception of an arrangement, the Company determines whether the arrangement is or contains a lease based on the circumstances present. The Company accounts for a contract as a lease when it has the right to control the asset for a period of time while obtaining substantially all of the asset’s economic benefits. The Company determines the initial classification and measurement of its operating right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and operating lease liabilities at the lease commencement date, and thereafter if modified. The lease term includes any renewal options that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise. The Company’s policy is to not record leases with a
108
lease term of 12 months or less on its balance sheets. The Company’s only existing leases are for office and laboratory space.
The ROU asset represents the right to use the leased asset for the lease term. The lease liability represents the present value of the lease payments under the lease. The present value of lease payments is determined by using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate is readily determinable; otherwise, the Company uses its estimated secured incremental borrowing rate for that lease term.
Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the reasonably assured lease term based on the total lease payments and is included in operating expense in the statements of operations.
Payments due under each lease agreement include fixed and variable payments. Variable payments relate to the Company’s share of the lessor’s operating costs associated with the underlying asset and are recognized when the event on which those payments are assessed occurs. Variable payments have been excluded from the lease liability and associated right-of-use asset. Neither of the Company’s leases contain residual value guarantees.
The interest rate implicit in lease agreements is typically not readily determinable, and as such, the Company utilizes the incremental borrowing rate to calculate lease liabilities, which is the rate incurred to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost net of accumulated depreciation. Property and equipment are depreciated using the straight‐line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally five years, except for leasehold improvements, which are amortized over the shorter of the useful life of the asset or the remaining term of the lease. Upon retirement or sale of assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the balance sheet and the resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations. Repairs and maintenance costs are charged to operations as incurred.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets, are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in the business environment indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. Factors considered by the Company when deciding when to perform an impairment review include significant underperformance of the business against expectations, significant negative industry or economic trends and significant changes or planned changes in the use of the assets. If an impairment review is performed to evaluate a long-lived asset for recoverability, the Company compares forecasts of undiscounted cash flows resulting from the use and eventual disposition of the long-lived asset to its carrying value. An impairment loss would be recognized when estimated undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the use of an asset are less than its carrying amount. The impairment loss would be based on the excess of the carrying value of the impaired asset over its current fair value.
Research and Development Expenses
All costs associated with research and development are expensed as incurred. Research and development expenses include costs directly attributable to the conduct of research and development programs, including compensation costs, which includes allocated stock-based compensation, salary payroll taxes, employee benefits; materials; supplies; depreciation on and maintenance of research equipment; the cost of services provided by outside contractors; and the allocable portions of facility costs, such as rent, utilities, insurance, repairs and maintenance, depreciation, and general support services. The Company records accruals for estimated research and development expenses, comprising payments for work performed by third party vendors, clinical research organizations, clinical manufacturing organizations and others. Some of these vendors bill monthly based on actual services performed, while others bill periodically based upon achieving certain contractual milestones. For the latter, the Company accrues the expenses as goods or services are used or rendered. Research and development activities related to patient enrollment are accrued as patients enter and progress through the trial. In the event that the Company prepays
109
fees, the Company records the prepayment as a prepaid asset and periodically evaluate the prepaid asset in conjunction with the related accrued research and development expenses.
Stock‐Based Compensation
The Company’s share-based compensation program allows for grants of stock options and restricted stock units. Grants are awarded to employees and non-employees, and directors.
The Company accounts for stock-based employee compensation arrangements in accordance with provisions of ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). ASC 718 requires the recognition of compensation expense, using a fair-value based method, for costs related to all share-based payments including stock options. ASC 718 requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option pricing or equity valuation model that is applied in a manner consistent with the fair value measurement objectives of ASC 718, is based on established principles of financial theory and reflects all of the substantive terms and conditions of the award. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model (“Black-Scholes”) to value stock option grants to employees, non-employees and directors. The fair value of the Company’s common stock at the grant date is used to determine the fair value of restricted stock units and stock options.
The Black-Scholes option pricing model requires inputs based on certain subjective assumptions, including (i) the expected stock price volatility, (ii) the expected term of the award, (iii) the risk-free interest rate and (iv) expected dividends. The historical volatility is calculated based on a period of time commensurate with expected term assumption. The Company uses the simplified method to calculate the expected term for options granted to employees whereby the expected term equals the arithmetic average of the vesting term and the original contractual term of the options due to its lack of sufficient historical data, except for when awards are determined to be out-of-the-money, as was the case for when applying modification accounting related to the stock option exchange in August 2024. Refer to Note 8 for details on the stock option exchange. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury securities with a maturity date commensurate with the expected term of the associated award. The expected dividend yield is assumed to be zero as the Company has never paid dividends and has no current plans to pay any dividends on its common stock. The Company recognizes forfeitures as they occur.
The Company’s stock-based compensation awards are subject to service-based vesting conditions. Compensation expense related to awards to employees and directors with service-based vesting conditions is recognized on a straight-line basis based on the grant date fair value over the associated service period of the award, which is typically the vesting term.
Net Loss per Share
Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the diluted net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, including potential dilutive common shares assuming the dilutive effect of outstanding stock options and unvested restricted common stock, as determined using the treasury stock method. For periods in which the Company has reported net losses, diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share, since dilutive shares of common stock are not assumed to have been issued if their effect is antidilutive.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), which requires that deferred tax assets and liabilities be recognized using enacted tax rates for the effect of temporary differences between the book and tax bases of recorded assets and liabilities. Under ASC 740, the liability method is used in accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between financial reporting and the tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and law that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. ASC 740 also requires that deferred tax assets be reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company evaluates annually the realizability of the deferred tax assets by assessing the valuation allowance and by adjusting the amount of such allowance, if necessary. The factors used to assess the likelihood of realization include forecast of future taxable income and available tax planning strategies that could be
110
implemented to realize the net deferred tax assets. In 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded a full valuation allowance for the deferred tax assets based on the historical loss and the uncertainty regarding the ability to project future taxable income. In future periods if the Company is able to generate income, the Company may reduce or eliminate the valuation allowance.
The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740. ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax provision that an entity takes or expects to take in a tax return. Additionally, ASC 740 provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosures, and transition. Under ASC 740, an entity may only recognize or continue to recognize tax positions that meet a “more likely than not” threshold. In accordance with this accounting policy, the Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax.
Concentration of Credit Risk and Other Risks and Uncertainties
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist of cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities. Cash and cash equivalents were held at primarily two financial institutions. At times, such deposits may be in excess of insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses on its deposits of cash and cash equivalents. The Company’s marketable securities are carried at fair value and include any unrealized gains and losses. Any investments with unrealized losses are considered to be temporarily impaired.
The Company’s future results of operations involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Factors that could affect the Company’s future operating results and cause actual results to vary materially from expectations include, but are not limited to, rapid technological change, uncertainty of market acceptance of the product, competition from substitute products and larger companies, protection of proprietary technology, any future strategic relationships and dependence on key individuals.
Products developed by the Company require clearances from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration or other international regulatory agencies prior to commercial sales. There can be no assurance the Company’s product candidates will receive the necessary clearances. If the Company is denied clearance, clearance is delayed or it is unable to maintain clearance, it could have a materially adverse impact on the Company.
Subsequent Events
The Company considered events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date, but prior to the issuance of the consolidated financial statements, for potential recognition or disclosure in its consolidated financial statements. All significant subsequent events have been properly disclosed in the consolidated financial statements.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The amended guidance enhances income tax disclosures primarily related to the effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. This guidance requires disclosure of specific categories in the effective tax rate reconciliation and additional information on reconciling items meeting a quantitative threshold. In addition, the amended guidance requires disaggregating income taxes paid (net of refunds received) by federal, state, and foreign taxes. It also requires disaggregating individual jurisdictions in which income taxes paid (net of refunds received) are equal to or greater than 5 percent of total income taxes paid (net of refunds received). The amended guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. We adopted this guidance prospectively for the annual period ending December 31, 2025. For additional information, see “Note 9 — Income Taxes.”
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses”. This amended guidance requires disaggregation of specific expense categories in the notes to the financial
111
statements and a qualitative description of the remaining expense amounts not separately disaggregated. This standard becomes effective for reporting companies with annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and requires prospective application with an option to apply it retrospectively. The Company anticipates adopting this standard in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-07 (“ASU 2025-07”), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The guidance refines the scope of Topic 815 to clarify which contracts are subject to derivative accounting. The guidance also provides clarification under Topic 606 for share-based payments from a customer in a revenue contract. The amendments in ASU 2025-07 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.
3. Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements
The Company’s financial instruments consist of money market funds, U.S. government debt securities and corporate debt securities. Cash and cash equivalents includes money market funds and certain corporate securities, which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis using quoted prices and are classified as Level 1. Marketable securities are measured at fair value based on inputs other than quoted prices that are derived from observable market data and are classified as Level 2 inputs, except for investments in U.S. treasury securities which are classified as Level 1. There were no Level 3 assets or liabilities at December 31, 2025 or 2024.
The following tables show the Company’s cash equivalents and available-for-sale securities’ carrying amounts and fair values as of December 31, 2025 and 2024:

6. Commitments and Contingencies
Operating Leases
In January 2021, the Company signed a lease for 50,581 square feet of office and laboratory space (the “One Research Way Lease”) at One Research Way in Princeton, New Jersey (the “Premises”). The lease term initially extended through 2032, had a five-year extension option, and replaced the Company’s two prior facilities as the Company’s headquarters in March 2023. The Company estimated that payments under the One Research Way Lease would be $19,889 through May 2032. The Company received a lease incentive of $4,046 from the lessor for a buildout of laboratory, vivarium, and office space. Management estimated the timing and amounts of reimbursements and included them as a reduction of lease payments when initially measuring the lease liability and right-of-use asset upon commencement. Since the inception date of the lease, $4,046 reimbursements were received from the lessor.
In August 2024, the Company entered into a Lease Termination Agreement with BMR-One Research Way LLC (the “Landlord”), in connection with the termination of the One Research Way Lease (the “Termination Agreement”). The Termination Agreement was contingent on the sale of the Premises by the Landlord to a prospective new buyer, which was met on October 1, 2024, and, as a result, there was no modification in August 2024.
Pursuant to the Termination Agreement, and subject to the Contingency, the Company agreed to surrender the Premises and paid a total termination fee of approximately $1,420, consisting of (i) a cash payment in the
113
amount of approximately $798 and (ii) a release of a security deposit from the Company’s existing letter of credit in the amount of approximately $622. The transaction was accounted for as an immediate termination of an operating lease before the expiration of the lease term in accordance with ASC 842. The Company derecognized the lease-related asset and liability resulting in a gain of $4,850. Since the termination fee of $1,420 was not already included in the lease payments, the termination fee was recognized as a loss on termination of the lease. Further, the Company abandoned and wrote-off all the related leasehold improvements totaling $9,454 held at the Premises. This net activity totaling $6,024 was recorded as a loss within General and Administrative expense in the Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, the Company has no commitments or contingencies related to the Lease.
In August 2024, the Company signed a sublease for 14,201 square feet of office space at 400 Alexander Park Drive, Suite 301, in Princeton, New Jersey, to be used as its new headquarters (“400 Alexander Sublease”). The 400 Alexander Sublease commenced on October 1, 2024 and extends until February 28, 2027. Payments under the 400 Alexander Sublease will total $789 through February 2027.
In September 2024, the Company signed a sublease agreement for 3,205 square feet of office and laboratory space at 311 Pennington Rocky Hill Road in Hopewell, New Jersey. The Company utilizes the premises as laboratory space for research and development activities. The sublease term extends through 2029 and provides the Company with the option to extend the term for an additional three year period. Payments under this sublease will total $768 through December 2029.
The components of lease cost for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023 are as follows:

Contingencies
From time to time, the Company may have certain contingent liabilities that arise in the ordinary course of its business activities. The Company accrues a liability for such matters when future expenditures are probable and such expenditures can be reasonably estimated.
7. Stockholders’ Equity
The Company is authorized to issue up to 1,000,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.00001 per share, and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.00001 per share. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, there were 53,331,766 and 51,935,134 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, respectively.
Common stockholders are entitled to receive dividends if and when declared by the board of directors subject to the rights of any preferred stockholders. As of December 31, 2025, no dividends on common stock had been declared by the Company.

8. Stock Plan
2020 Equity Incentive Plan
The 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”) was approved by the Company’s board of directors on September 24, 2020. The 2020 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units, restricted stock awards, unrestricted stock awards, cash-based awards and dividend equivalent rights to the Company’s officers, employees, directors and consultants.

On May 20, 2025, employees of the Company exercised their right to purchase 128,240 shares under the 2020 ESPP. On November 21, 2025, employees of the Company exercised their right to purchase 117,885 shares under the 2020 ESPP.

Stock Options
On July 16, 2024, the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO defining the terms and conditions of a one-time voluntary stock option exchange to its employees of certain options to purchase up to an aggregate of 2,820,491 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Option Exchange”). On August 13, 2024, the completion date of the Option Exchange, stock options covering an aggregate of 2,786,691 shares of common stock were tendered by eligible employees, and the Company granted new options at an exercise price of $1.48, the Company’s closing stock price on August 13, 2024, covering an aggregate of 2,786,691 shares of common stock under the 2020 Plan in exchange for the tendered options. The new options are subject to a new three or four-year vesting schedule, vesting in equal annual installments over the vesting term. Each new option has a maximum term of ten years. The Option Exchange was treated as a modification for accounting purposes. As a result of the Option Exchange, the Company will recognize incremental stock-based compensation expense of $1,370 over the requisite service period of the new stock options, which is three or four years. The Company will recognize the sum of the incremental stock-based compensation expense and the remaining unrecognized compensation expense for the original awards on the modification date, over the requisite service period of the new stock options.
The following table summarizes option activity for the year ended December 31, 2025:
Options Outstanding
Weighted-Average
Weighted Remaining Aggregate
Number Average Contractual Intrinsic

Options Price (in years) (in 000s)
Options forfeited / cancelled (205,223 ) $ 1.64
The weighted average grant date fair value of stock options granted during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, was $0.92, $4.94, and $4.03, respectively.
The aggregate intrinsic value of options vested and exercisable as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 is calculated based on the difference between the exercise price and the fair value of the Company’s common stock. The intrinsic value of options exercised in 2025, 2024, and 2023, was $66, $107, and $892, respectively.
As of December 31, 2025, the total compensation cost related to nonvested awards not yet recognized was $11,185. The weighted-average period over which the nonvested awards will be recognized is 2.5years.
117
The Company estimated the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes options valuation model. The fair value of employee stock options is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the awards. The fair value of employee stock options was estimated using the following assumptions:
Year Ended December 31,
Dividend yield 0% 0% 0%
The weighted average assumptions used to estimate the fair value of stock purchase rights under the 2020 ESPP are as follows:
Year Ended December 31,
Expected life (in years) 0.5 0.5 0.49
Dividend yield 0% 0% 0%
Risk Free Interest Rate: The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yields in effect at the time of grant for periods corresponding with the expected term of the option.
Expected Term: The Company uses the simplified method to calculate expected term described in the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, which takes into account vesting term and expiration date of the options.
Dividend Yield: The Company has never declared or paid any cash dividends and does not plan to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future, and therefore, used an expected dividend yield of zero in the valuation model.
Volatility: Volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s publicly traded shares for the expected term.

For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company generated a state tax benefit from the sale of net operating losses (“NOLs”) under the New Jersey Technology Business Tax Certificate Transfer Program. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company’s effective tax rate was 3% and 21%, respectively, primarily due to the income tax benefit recognized for the sale of state tax attributes and the Company’s position to establish a full valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets. For the year ending December 31, 2023, the Company’s effective tax rate was below the federal statutory income tax rate of 21% primarily due to state income taxes, net of federal benefit and the Company’s position to establish a full valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets.

The Company has recorded a valuation allowance for its deferred tax assets that it does not believe will be realizable at a more likely than not level based on analysis of all available sources of taxable income.
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had federal net operating loss carryforwards of $289,964 and $214,652, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had state net operating loss carryforwards for New Jersey, California, Massachusetts, and Arizona of approximately $97,539, $4,912, $6,342, and $543, respectively. At December 31, 2024, the Company had state net operating loss carryforwards for New Jersey, California, Massachusetts, and Arizona of approximately $54,685, $4,912, $6,542, and $192, respectively. Federal net operating loss carryforwards of $27,500 expire beginning in the year 2033. State net operating loss carryforwards begin to expire in the year 2033. Net operating loss carryforwards related to tax years after 2017 of $262,464 do not expire. The Company also has federal and state research and development credit carryforward of approximately $16,129 and $13,034 as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The federal credits will begin to expire in 2034 if not utilized. The California state credits carryforward indefinitely and the New Jersey state credits expire starting in 2030. The above net operating losses and research and development credits are subject to Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code. In the event of a change in ownership as defined by these code sections, the usage of the net operating losses and research and development credits may be limited.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had not accrued any interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions.
If the ending balance of $4,032 and $3,259 of unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, were recognized, none of the recognition would affect the income tax rate. The following table summarized the activity related to the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits:
For the Year Ended
Unrecognized tax benefits, beginning of year $ 3,259 $ 3,173
Decreases related to prior year tax positions — (586 )

The State of New Jersey’s Technology Business Tax Certificate Program allows certain high technology and biotechnology companies to sell unused NOL carryforwards and research and development (“R&D”) tax credits to other New Jersey-based corporate taxpayers. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company received $2,196 and $16,176, respectively, of cash for the NOL and R&D tax credit sales related to the tax years ended December 31, 2015 through 2024. The sale of the NOLs and R&D tax credits has been recorded as an income tax benefit within the consolidated statement of operations.
For the year ended December 31, 2025, income taxes paid, net of refunds, by jurisdiction were immaterial both individually and in the aggregate and, accordingly, have not been separately disclosed.

12. Restructuring
On January 18, 2024, the Company announced a restructuring plan involving the reduction of its workforce by approximately 30% of the Company’s employees. The Company undertook these steps in order to streamline operations, reduce costs and preserve capital as it advances into late-stage development for its lead product candidate, rezatapopt.

13. Segment Information
The Company has viewed its operations and manages its business as one operating and reporting segment. Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise for which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) to make decisions with respect to resource allocation and assessment of performance. The Company’s CODM is its Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”), who reviews and evaluates consolidated net loss for purposes of assessing performance, making operating decisions, allocating resources, and planning and forecasting for future periods. The determination of a single segment is consistent with the financial information regularly reviewed by the CEO.
The CEO regularly reviews the consolidated statement of operations and a disaggregation of operating expenses, of which the significant expenses are related to research and development. The following table represents the significant segment expenses regularly provided to the CEO:
