Current report

The following represents a summary of notable business updates and events:

Current report

U.S. Food and Drug Administration review of PALSONIFY for the treatment and maintenance of acromegaly continues as expected.

Current report

Shared additional detail on the patient population with acromegaly that could be a candidate for chronic pharmacological intervention with Palsonify. Our research suggests that there are approximately 11,000 addressable patients, approximately 500 newly diagnosed addressable patients each year and at least 17,000 undiagnosed patients in the U.S.

Current report

Marketing authorization application, or MAA, validated by the European Medicines Agency, or EMA, for paltusotine for the treatment of acromegaly, consistent with a timeline for a potential EMA decision in the first half of 2026. The EMA also granted Orphan Drug Designation, or ODD, for paltusotine for the treatment of acromegaly, further highlighting the level of unmet need and the potential for paltusotine to offer significant benefit to patients.

Current report

Phase 2 TouCAHn open-label study of atumelnant in CAH reported positive results. Atumelnant administration was shown to result in rapid, substantial and sustained statistically significant reduction in androstenedione, or A4, levels, the key biomarker for disease control. Atumelnant was well-tolerated and demonstrated significant clinical improvements. We have also initiated an open-label extension study.

Current report

Phase 3 CALM-CAH study is designed with an uncompromising primary endpoint to demonstrate atumelnant’s potential ability to normalize A4 levels with physiological glucocorticoid, or GC, replacement.

Current report

Continued progress on the development program for atumelnant across multiple trials, including enrollment completion of Cohort 4 of the adult Phase 2 study with data expected early in 2026.

Current report

Announced our pediatric trial design in CAH, BALANCE-CAH. BALANCE-CAH is designed as an operationally seamless three-part study (Phase 2/3/OLE). Part A is an open-label, semi-sequential cohort study to evaluate the safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics, or PK, of atumelnant treatment in pediatric participants with classic CAH. Part B is a double-blind, placebo controlled confirmatory portion of the study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of atumelnant in pediatric participants with classic CAH. Part C is a single-arm, open-label, long-term safety and efficacy study in pediatric participants that completed participation in either Part A or Part B of this study. We plan to initiate the BALANCE-CAH pediatric study in the second half of 2025.

Current report

Announced that we expect to initiate the Phase 2/3 trial of atumelnant in ADCS in the first half of 2026.

Current report

Revealed preclinical data on CRN12755 (a Thyroid Stimulating Hormone, or TSH, antagonist), CRN10329 (an SST3 agonist) and CRN09682 (an SST2+ nonpeptide drug conjugate) at our in-person and virtual Research and Development Day, or R&D Day, on June 26, 2025.

Current report

The R&D Day presentation included the following updates on our pre-clinical development pipeline:

Current report

CRN12755: We provided preclinical data on our lead candidate, CRN12755, in the TSHR antagonist program for the treatment of Graves’ disease, including the two major manifestations Graves’ hyperthyroidism and Graves’ orbitopathy (Thyroid Eye Disease, or TED). CRN12755 was observed to decrease TSAb-stimulated thyroid hormone (T4) in a rat model, and was observed to decrease hyaluronic acid and IL-6 production in Graves Orbital Fibroblasts, or GOFs from TED patients. We also provided an overview of the clinical development strategy for CRN12755, including key biomarkers and other data to be captured in the Phase 1 trial.

Current report

CRN10329: We identified CRN10329 as a preclinical leading development candidate for a selective SST3 nonpeptide agonist for the treatment of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease, or ADPKD. CRN10329 was observed to decrease cystic index, cellular proliferation, kidney weight and aberrant expression of renal tubular injury markers in a mouse model of ADPKD. We also shared data highlighting that SST3 is highly and consistently expressed in cyst-lining cells in ADPKD.

Current report

We shared data on CRN09682 previously presented at medical conferences that show the potency, selectivity and internalization of CRN09682. CRN09682 in tumor and plasma and free monomethyl auristatin E, or MMAE, in plasma are not observed after 24 hours in a mouse tumor model, while free MMAE cleaved from CRN09682 persists within the tumor for at least 240 hours. We also demonstrated that CRN09682 induced anti-tumor activity in a dose-dependent manner in different mouse tumor growth models without a decrease in body weight.

Current report

We provided additional details regarding the trial design of BRAVESST2, our Phase 1/2 study of CRN09682 for the treatment of metastatic or locally advanced SST2-positive neuroendocrine tumors and other SST2-expressing solid tumors. In the Phase 1 dose escalation phase, we expect to enroll 3-6 patients per cohort until the minimum tolerated dose is confirmed. Data from the dose escalation will inform the recommended expansion dose for the Phase 2 dose expansion phase and confirm the tumor sub-types that will be enrolled in the expansion cohorts. We expect to enroll up to 150 participants across both Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the trial.

Current report

We continued international expansion activities in parallel with the continuing review of our marketing authorization application, or MAA, for paltusotine by the European Medicines Agency.

Current report

The increase in the majority of the categories above for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 since the corresponding prior period is as a result of the advancement of our clinical programs and the expansion of our preclinical portfolio.

Current report

The increase in research and development programs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the prior year periods was primarily due to clinical and manufacturing costs associated with paltusotine for the treatment of carcinoid syndrome and atumelnant, pre-clinical and manufacturing costs for early research and development programs, and increase in headcount and other increases to support the overall increased activities in various programs.

Current report

Selling, general and administrative expenses. The increase of $25.0 million and $39.7 million in selling, general and administrative expenses during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 , respectively, compared to the prior year periods was primarily due to the increase in personnel expenses of $12.0 million (including $5.6 million of stock-based compensation expense) and $20.0 million (including $8.3 million of stock-based compensation expense) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2024. The remainder of the increase is primarily attributable to an increase in outside services of $10.3 million and $16.0 million for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, as compared to the prior year periods. These increases are attributable to the increase in headcount and increase in selling and other general and administrative costs to support our overall growth and the planned commercial launch of PALSONIFY.

Current report

As of July 29, 2025, outstanding shares of common stock were 94.2 million, outstanding stock options were 15.0 million, unvested restricted stock units were 2.2 million, and shares expected to be purchased under the 2018 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, or ESPP, were 0.4 million.

Previous report

We focus on the discovery and development of nonpeptide therapeutics that target peptide GPCRs with well-understood biological functions, validated biomarkers and the potential to substantially improve the treatment of endocrine diseases and endocrine-related tumors. Our pipeline consists of the following product candidates:

Previous report

Paltusotine, our lead product candidate, establishes a new class of oral selective nonpeptide somatostatin receptor type 2, or SST2, agonists designed for the treatment of acromegaly and carcinoid syndrome associated with NETs. Somatostatin is a neuropeptide hormone that broadly inhibits the secretion of other hormones, including growth hormone, or GH, from the pituitary gland. Acromegaly arises from a benign pituitary tumor that secretes excess GH that, in turn, causes excess secretion of insulin-like growth factor-1, or IGF-1, by the liver. This loss of homeostasis in the GH axis results in excess tissue growth and other adverse metabolic effects throughout the body. We estimate that up to 27,000 people in the United States have been diagnosed with acromegaly, and depending on surgical success, we estimate that approximately 11,000 are candidates for chronic pharmacological intervention, of which somatostatin peptide analog depot injections are the primary pharmacotherapy. Carcinoid syndrome occurs when NETs, which originate from neuroendocrine cells commonly found in the gut, lung or pancreas, secrete hormones or other chemical substances into the bloodstream that cause severe flushing or diarrhea, among other symptoms. Approximately 175,000 adults in the United States are diagnosed with NETs. Of these, it is estimated that approximately 33,000 patients have carcinoid syndrome. Most NETs overexpress SST2 receptors and injected depots of peptide somatostatin analogs have become the first-line standard of care as detailed in National Comprehensive Cancer Network, or NCCN, guidelines. These drugs require painful monthly or daily injections and, in the case of somatostatin peptide drugs, often fail to fully control the disease in many acromegaly or carcinoid syndrome patients.

Previous report

To date, our clinical trials have shown that paltusotine was generally well tolerated among healthy adults and patients with acromegaly and with carcinoid syndrome. The drug substance for paltusotine is synthesized in India and then undergoes a bioavailability optimization step in Portugal. Subsequently, the drug substance is tabulated in the United States.

Previous report

Our Phase 3 development program for paltusotine in acromegaly consisted of two placebo-controlled clinical trials, PATHFNDR-1 and PATHFNDR-2. The PATHFNDR-1 trial was designed as a double-blind, placebo-controlled, nine-month clinical trial of paltusotine in acromegaly patients with average IGF-1 levels less than or equal to 1.0 times the upper limit of normal, or ULN, and who had been on stable doses of somatostatin receptor ligand monotherapy (octreotide LAR or lanreotide depot). We also conducted a second study, the PATHFNDR-2 trial, which was designed as a double-blind, placebo-controlled, six-month clinical trial of acromegaly patients who were not on pharmacological treatment and had elevated IGF-1 levels. The primary endpoint of both PATHFNDR studies was the proportion of patients with IGF-1 ≤ 1.0 ×ULN at the end of the treatment period on paltusotine as compared to placebo.

Previous report

Positive topline data from the randomized controlled portion of the PATHFNDR-1 study was reported in September 2023, where the primary endpoint and all secondary endpoints of the study were achieved. Additionally, in the PATHFNDR-1 study, paltusotine was well tolerated and no serious or severe adverse events were reported in participants treated with paltusotine.

Previous report

In March 2024, we reported positive topline results from the PATHFNDR-2 study. The study met statistical significance (p<0.0001) on the primary endpoint, and all secondary endpoints. Additionally, in PATHFNDR-2, paltusotine was generally well-tolerated and no serious adverse events were reported in participants treated with paltusotine.

Previous report

The open label extension phases of both PATHFNDR trials are ongoing.

Previous report

We believe that the results of the two trials could support global marketing applications for the use of paltusotine for all acromegaly patients who require pharmacotherapy, including untreated patients and those switching from other therapies. We submitted a New Drug Application, or NDA, to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, for paltusotine for the proposed treatment and long-term maintenance therapy of acromegaly. We subsequently received notification of acceptance from the FDA on the status of the NDA submission and were granted a Prescription Drug User Fee Act, or PDUFA, Target Action Date of September 25, 2025. The FDA has granted orphan drug designation for paltusotine for the treatment of acromegaly. In February 2025, the European Medicines Agency, or EMA, granted paltusotine orphan drug designation for the treatment of acromegaly. Designation was given following a positive recommendation from the EMA Committee for Orphan Medicinal Products, highlighting the potential impact of paltusotine for acromegaly patients in the European Union. The EMA validated the Marketing Authorization Application, or MAA, in March 2025 consistent with a timeline for potential EMA decision in the first half of 2026.

Previous report

In March 2024, we reported positive topline results from our randomized, open-label, parallel group, multi-center Phase 2 study to assess safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and efficacy of paltusotine in people living with carcinoid syndrome. A total of 36 participants were randomized to receive either 40 mg (n=18) or 80 mg (n=18) of paltusotine for eight weeks, with the ability to adjust dose based on tolerability or inadequate control of symptoms during the first four weeks of treatment. Results demonstrated that administration of paltusotine resulted in rapid and sustained reductions in bowel movement frequency and flushing episodes. Paltusotine was generally well-tolerated with a safety profile consistent with prior clinical studies, with no treatment-related severe or serious adverse events.

Previous report

We have begun site activation activities for the CAREFNDR Phase 3 clinical trial in patients with carcinoid syndrome and expect to initiate the trial in the second half of 2025. CAREFNDR is designed as a double-blind, placebo-controlled, sixteen-week clinical trial to enroll carcinoid syndrome patients who are not on pharmacological treatment at baseline and are actively symptomatic. The primary endpoint of the CAREFNDR trial is the percentage change in the frequency of flushing episodes at week 12. In addition, a key secondary endpoint measures the change in bowel movement frequency at week 12. The CAREFNDR trial is designed to capture other efficacy endpoints including severity of flushing and urgency of bowel movements. Following the 16-week randomized controlled period, the trial will include a 104-week open-label extension, or OLE, to evaluate long-term efficacy, safety and additional clinical outcomes. The OLE will include an exploratory assessment of tumor control.

Previous report

Atumelnant (formerly CRN04894) is our investigational, orally available, nonpeptide product candidate designed to antagonize the adrenocorticotrophic hormone, or ACTH, receptor. It is intended for the treatment of diseases caused by excess ACTH, including CAH and ACTH-dependent Cushing’s Syndrome, or ADCS, which includes patients with either Cushing's disease or EAS. CAH encompasses a set of disorders that are caused by genetic mutations that result in impaired cortisol synthesis. A lack of cortisol leads to a breakdown of feedback mechanisms and results in persistently high levels of ACTH, which, in turn, causes overstimulation of the adrenal cortex. The resulting adrenal hyperplasia and over-secretion of other steroids (particularly androgens) and steroid precursors can lead to a variety of effects from improper gonadal development to life-threatening dysregulation of mineralocorticoids. Cushing’s disease results from a pituitary tumor that secretes excess ACTH, and EAS results from non-pituitary ectopic tumors which secrete ACTH. The excess secretion of ACTH causes the downstream synthesis and over-secretion of cortisol by the adrenal glands. Cortisol is the body’s main stress hormone and excess amounts can cause significant increases in mortality and morbidity. We estimate that approximately 17,000 patients in the United States are potential candidates for treatment with atumelnant. We estimate there are over 11,000 patients with Cushing’s disease in the United States, of which approximately 5,000 patients are potential candidates for treatment with atumelnant.

Previous report

We conducted a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled Phase 1 study of atumelnant in healthy volunteers to assess the safety and tolerability of single and multiple doses of atumelnant. In addition, the study was designed to measure the effect of atumelnant on suppression of cortisol, cortisol precursors, and adrenal androgens following exogenous ACTH stimulation. In May 2022, we announced positive topline data from the Phase 1 study in healthy volunteers which showed atumelnant was well tolerated and demonstrated dose-dependent increases in atumelnant plasma concentrations. We believe atumelnant demonstrated pharmacologic proof-of-concept, as the Phase 1 results showed dose-dependent reductions of both basal cortisol and elevated cortisol following an ACTH challenge. All adverse events were considered mild to moderate and there were no serious adverse events.

Previous report

We conducted the TouCAHn Phase 2 study of atumelnant in adult CAH patients. This open-label study was designed to evaluate the safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics of different doses of atumelnant. In addition, biomarkers, including serum androstenedione (A4) and 17-hydroxyprogesterone (17-OHP), were measured to evaluate the potential efficacy of atumelnant. We reported positive initial findings from our Phase 2 study in June 2024 and topline data from 28 patients in January 2025. We recently added a final cohort of patients to the Phase 2 study to study morning dosing of atumelnant at 80 mg as well as glucocorticoid reduction.

Previous report

CALM-CAH is designed as a Phase 3 double-blind, placebo-controlled, thirty two-week clinical trial to enroll patients with CAH. The primary endpoint of the CALM-CAH trial is the proportion of participants with androstenedione (A4) ≤ULN (upper limit of normal) who are on physiologic GC replacement at week 32. The CALM-CAH trial is also designed to evaluate the impact of atumelnant on the clinical signs, symptoms, co-morbidities and outcomes of CAH. In addition we have initiated our open-label extension study which will enroll patients from both Phase 2 and 3. We plan to initiate the CALM-CAH Phase 3 study in adults with CAH in the second half of 2025. We also plan to initiate a Phase 2/3 pediatric study in the second half of 2025.

Previous report

We are conducting a clinical trial of atumelnant in patients with ADCS, including those with Cushing’s disease and Ectopic ACTH Syndrome. We entered into a clinical trial agreement with the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, or NIDDK, of the National Institutes of Health, or NIH, to collaborate on a company-sponsored multiple-ascending dose trial of atumelnant in ADCS. This open-label study is designed to evaluate safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of different doses of atumelnant in patients with ADCS as well as to measure 24-hour urinary-free cortisol and serum cortisol as indicators of efficacy. We reported positive initial findings from our ongoing open-label Phase 1b/2a study in June 2024. Planning for the next trial of atumelnant in ACTH-dependent Cushing’s syndrome is underway, and we expect to initiate a Phase 2/3 study in the second half of 2025.

Previous report

CRN09682 (nonpeptide drug conjugate for SST2 positive solid tumors)

Previous report

We are developing antagonists of the parathyroid hormone, or PTH, receptor for the treatment of primary hyperparathyroidism, or PHPT and humoral hypercalcemia of malignancy, or HHM, and other diseases of excess PTH. PTH regulates calcium and phosphate homeostasis in bone and kidney through activation of its receptor, PTHR1. Increased activation of PTHR1, either via PTH or PTH-related peptide (PTHrP, PTHLH) can affect bone metabolism and calcium regulation. Primary hyperparathyroidism arises from a small, benign tumor on one or more of the parathyroid glands, which results in over-secretion of PTH, leading to increased blood calcium levels, or hypercalcemia, increased urine-calcium levels, or hypercalciuria, as well as decreased phosphate levels, or hypophosphatemia. Many patients experience no symptoms. Surgery is indicated in symptomatic patients and asymptomatic patients with target organ involvement to remove the tumor and/or hyperactive gland(s). For patients who decline or cannot undergo surgery, management with medical therapy is recommended. Symptomatic PHPT is characterized by skeletal, renal, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, neurobehavioral and neuromuscular manifestations with increased mortality. PHPT incidence in the U.S. has been highly influenced by changes in medical practice with the emergence of increased serum calcium and PTH screening and is now estimated to be approximately 200,000 cases. HHM is caused by over-secretion of PTHrP by a malignant tumor and results in bone resorption and calcium reabsorption in the kidney, leading to hypercalcemia. Patients with HHM typically have advanced-stage cancers, present severely symptomatic and tend to have limited survival of several months. HHM occurs in approximately 20% of all cancer patients during their clinical course. We have identified multiple investigational, orally available nonpeptide PTH antagonists that show activity and drug-like properties in preclinical models. Based on emerging data from IND-enabling studies, our PTH antagonist candidate in preclinical development has been substituted with another candidate expected to exhibit an improved profile. This new candidate is in IND-enabling studies, which we intend to complete next year.

Previous report

We are developing thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor, or TSHR, antagonists for the treatment of Graves’ disease and Thyroid Eye Disease, or TED, or Grave’s orbitopathy. Graves’ disease is an autoimmune condition that affects approximately 3 million people in the United States. It is characterized by the production of autoantibodies against TSHR, and the pathology of Graves’ disease is driven by these TSHR stimulatory antibodies, or TSAb, that result in heightened activation of TSHR. This overstimulation results in hyperthyroidism due to excessive production of thyroid hormones which causes symptoms including weight loss, rapid or irregular heartbeat, anxiety, sweating or muscle weakness. Some Graves’ disease patients also develop TED due to overactivation of TSHR in orbital fibroblasts leading to excessive production of hyaluronic acid, adipogenesis, cytokine production, and fibrosis. This causes a constellation of debilitating symptoms including pain, swelling, blurry vision, diplopia, and proptosis. Several treatments for Graves’ hyperthyroidism are available including anti-thyroid drugs, radioactive iodine, or RAI, and surgery. RAI and surgery are definitive treatments for Graves’ hyperthyroidism, but result in permanent hypothyroidism requiring life long thyroid hormone replacement. In addition, none of the current treatments for Graves’ hyperthyroidism are effective in treating TED and, in some cases, such as with RAI, the treatments worsen the condition. Blocking TSHR activation directly via a TSHR antagonist may provide an important new therapeutic mechanism to treat patients with Graves’ disease that would effectively treat both the hyperthyroidism and TED. We have identified investigational, orally available nonpeptide TSHR antagonists that demonstrate activity in preclinical models and possess good drug-like properties. We have selected a development candidate and are conducting first-in-human enabling activities.

SST3 Agonist Program for the Treatment for Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease

Previous report

Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease, or ADPKD, is the most frequent genetic cause of chronic kidney disease, affecting more than 300,000 individuals, and is the fourth leading cause of end-stage renal disease. ADPKD is caused by mutations in the PKD1 or PKD2 genes, which encode the polycystin 1 or 2 proteins (PC1 and PC2) and is characterized by the growth of numerous fluid-filled cysts causing kidney injury and progressive loss of kidney functions. Increasing evidence points toward a model where loss of polycystin function in cilia of kidney epithelial cells might be the driver of cystogenesis observed in ADPKD. In healthy individuals, PC1 and PC2 form channels in the cilia of epithelial cells that contribute to maintain high calcium levels in this cellular compartment. In ADPKD, a decrease in ciliary calcium levels due to the loss of PC1 or PC2 function activates adenylyl cyclase 5/6, increasing ciliary cAMP, a molecule that plays a key role in cell differentiation and proliferation. Somatostatin receptor type 3 (SST3) is expressed in cyst lining cells in ADPKD patients and localizes in cilia. A selective SST3 agonist will decrease adenylyl cyclase activity and cAMP levels, thus potentially reducing cystogenesis in ADPKD. We have identified an investigational, orally available selective SST3 nonpeptide agonist for the treatment of ADPKD and are conducting first-in-human enabling activities.

Previous report

Patients with many other debilitating endocrine diseases and endocrine related tumors await new therapeutic options, and we continuously evaluate and prioritize where to deploy our drug discovery efforts. We plan to continue to expand our drug discovery efforts and leverage our expertise in the evaluation of additional unmet medical needs. Our drug discovery and development efforts are focused on endocrine, metabolism, and targeted therapies.

Previous report

Endocrine: Our deep understanding of endocrine systems and patient needs have produced a robust pipeline of transformative novel molecules that are purposefully designed to meet the needs of patients. We focus on developing innovative nonpeptide drug candidates with unique methods of action, targeting particular endocrine pathways, including non-traditional ones, where modulating irregular hormone secretion can lead to improving conditions that significantly impact patients’ lives.

Previous report

Metabolism: Metabolic disorders including diabetes, obesity, and others impact the lives of hundreds of millions of people across the world and their effects on patients are significant and varied. Many of these disorders are a result of the dysregulation of key metabolic hormones, including insulin, glucagon, glucagon-like peptide-1, gastric inhibitory polypeptide, and others. Crinetics’ understanding of these hormonal pathways and the GPCRs that control them coupled with our expertise in developing nonpeptides with specific pharmacologies allows us to create new molecules with the chance to improve the lives of patients with metabolic diseases.

Previous report

Targeted Therapies: Our efforts in precision oncology began with developing nonpeptide, GPCR-targeted radioligands for the imaging and treatment of a broad range of endocrine receptor-driven cancers, ultimately leading to the formation of Radionetics Oncology, Inc. in 2021. Our continued dedication to this concept has led to our latest novel development program that is exploring a new modality known as NDCs, a unique therapeutic approach that leverages endocrine receptors for highly selective targeting of anti-tumor agents.

We have developed a first-in-class, non-radioactive, nonpeptide drug conjugate, or NDC, linking an SST2 agonist with the cytotoxic drug monomethyl auristatin E, or MMAE, via a spacer and a cleavable linker for the treatment of NETs and potentially for use in other solid tumors that express SST2, or SST+ tumors. The SST2 ligand on the NDC molecule binds to SST2 on the tumor cell surface and is internalized by the cell where enzymes cleave the MMAE and release it. MMAE is a payload that causes microtubule disruption leading to cell arrest and death. Approximately 140,000 adults in the United States have SST2+ NETs, and many other tumor types express SST2. NETs are generally incurable when metastatic, regardless of tumor grade. Overall survival rates vary significantly by stage, grade, age at diagnosis, primary site, and time period of diagnosis. While somatostatin analogs have typically been used as first-line treatment, other therapies commonly used for advanced, metastatic disease include peptide receptor radionuclide therapy, or PRRT, targeted therapies like tyrosine kinase inhibitors, or TKIs, and chemotherapies like platinum/etoposide. We believe our NDC therapy has the potential to improve treatment of SST2+ NETs by stopping tumor progression and/or shrinking tumors. A “Study May Proceed” letter has been received to allow us to begin a Phase 1/2 dose escalation study of CRN09682 with an expansion phase for the treatment of metastatic or locally advanced SST2-positive neuroendocrine tumors and other SST2-expressing solid tumors.

To date, we have devoted substantially all of our resources to drug discovery, conducting preclinical studies and clinical trials, obtaining and maintaining patents related to our product candidates, licensing activities, and the provision of selling, general and administrative support for these operations and commercial preparedness. We have recognized revenues from various research and development grants and license and collaboration agreements, but do not have any products approved for sale and have not generated any product sales. We have funded our operations primarily through our grant and license revenues, and offerings of our preferred and common stock. As of March 31, 2025, we had unrestricted cash, cash equivalents, and investment securities of $1.3 billion.

We have incurred cumulative net losses since our inception and, as of March 31, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $1.0 billion. Our net losses may fluctuate significantly from quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year, depending on the timing of our clinical trials and preclinical studies and our expenditures on other research and development activities. We expect our expenses and operating losses will increase substantially as we conduct our ongoing and planned clinical trials, continue our research and development activities and conduct preclinical studies, hire additional personnel, protect our intellectual property and incur costs associated with being a public company, including audit, legal, regulatory, and tax-related services associated with maintaining compliance with exchange listing and Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, requirements, director and officer insurance premiums, and investor relations costs.

We do not expect to generate any revenues from product sales unless and until we successfully complete development and obtain regulatory approval for one or more of our product candidates. If we obtain regulatory approval for any of our product candidates, we expect to incur significant commercialization expenses related to product sales, marketing, manufacturing and distribution. Accordingly, until such time as we can generate significant revenue from sales of our product candidates, if ever, we expect to finance our cash needs through equity offerings, debt financings or other capital sources, including potentially, collaborations, licenses and other similar arrangements. However, we may be unable to raise additional funds or enter into such other arrangements when needed on favorable terms or at all. Our failure to raise capital or enter into such other arrangements when needed would have a negative impact on our financial condition and could force us to delay, scale back or discontinue the development of our existing product candidates or our efforts to expand our product pipeline.

To date, our revenues have been mainly derived from research grant awards and licenses, including the Radionetics License, the Sanwa License, and the Loyal License. As our data exchange performance obligation under the Sanwa License is fulfilled, we expect to recognize as revenues the deferred revenue amounts included in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2025. We will recognize royalty and milestone revenues under our license agreements if and when appropriate under the relevant accounting rules (see Note 8 to our condensed consolidated financial statements). We have not generated any revenues from the commercial sale of approved products, and we may never generate revenues from the commercial sale of our product candidates for at least the foreseeable future, if ever. However, we submitted a New Drug Application, or NDA, to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, for paltusotine for the proposed treatment and long-term maintenance therapy of acromegaly and subsequently received notification of acceptance from the FDA on the status of the NDA submission and were granted a Prescription Drug User Fee Act, or PDUFA, Target Action Date of September 25, 2025.

Clinical and preclinical development timelines, the probability of success and development costs can differ materially from expectations. We anticipate that we will make determinations as to which product candidates to pursue and how much funding to direct to each product candidate on an ongoing basis in response to the results of ongoing and future preclinical studies and clinical trials, regulatory developments and our ongoing assessments as to each product candidate’s commercial potential. We will need to raise substantial additional capital in the future. 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.

Our management's discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which we have prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our condensed consolidated financial statements. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to accrued expenses and leases. We base our estimates on historical experience, known trends and events, information received from third parties and various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances at the time the estimates are made, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Our critical accounting policies are those accounting principles generally accepted in the United States that require us to make subjective estimates and judgments about matters that are uncertain and are likely to have a material impact on our financial condition and results of operations, as well as the specific manner in which we apply those principles.
