Current report
AXS-14 (esreboxetine) is a novel, oral, investigational, highly selective and potent norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor being developed for the management of fibromyalgia. The efficacy and safety of AXS-14 have previously been demonstrated in completed, positive Phase 2 and Phase 3 clinical trials. In January 2026, we initiated the FORWARD study, a Phase 3, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter, randomized withdrawal trial of AXS-14 in patients with fibromyalgia.
Current report
Research and development expenses decreased by $3.3 million and increased by $4.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2025. The decrease for the three months period was primarily due to lower spending on AXS-05, driven by the timing of clinical study activities, along with lower costs for AXS-14, reflecting regulatory costs incurred in the prior year period. This was partially offset by higher spending on solriamfetol. The increase for the six months period was primarily due to asset acquisition costs related to AXS-20, which were partially offset by lower spending on AXS-05, driven by the timing of clinical study activities. We expect research and development costs to moderately increase as our recently started clinical trials further enroll.

Previous report
AXS-14 (esreboxetine) is a novel, oral, investigational, highly selective and potent norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor being developed for the management of fibromyalgia. In May 2025, we submitted an NDA to the FDA for AXS-14 for the management of fibromyalgia based on the previously completed efficacy and safety trials. Following a preliminary review, the FDA determined that the NDA was not sufficiently complete to permit a substantive review, indicating that one of the two placebo-controlled trials included in the submission was not adequate and well-controlled due to its 8-week primary endpoint and flexible-dose design, while confirming that the other trial, which utilized a 12-week primary endpoint and a fixed-dose paradigm, was adequate and well-controlled. The FDA did not raise any concerns regarding the positive results of either trial, both of which met their primary endpoints. We are conducting the FORWARD Phase 3 trial to address the FDA’s feedback.
Previous report
Research and development expenses increased by $7.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the same periods in 2025. The increase was primarily related to asset acquisition costs related to AXS-20. We expect research and development costs to moderately increase through the end of 2026 as new development programs commence.

We have incurred significant operating and net losses since inception. We incurred net losses of $64.5 million and $59.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Our accumulated deficit as of March 31, 2026 was $1,370.5 million, and we expect to incur significant expenses and continuing operating losses. We expect our expenses to increase in connection with our ongoing activities, as we continue the commercialization of our on-market products and the development and clinical trials of, and seek regulatory approval for, our current product candidates and any other product candidates that we develop or in-license and advance to clinical development. Further, we have incurred and will continue to incur additional costs associated with operating as a public company. Accordingly, we may need additional financing to support our continuing operations. We may seek to fund our operations through public or private equity, debt financings, or other sources. Adequate additional financing may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. Our failure to raise capital as and when needed would have a negative impact on our financial condition and our ability to pursue our business strategy. We will need to generate significant revenue to achieve profitability, and we may never do so.

On the Closing Date, we entered into the Blackstone Loan Agreement with Blackstone, certain subsidiaries of the Company party thereto as guarantors, Wilmington Trust, and the Lenders, providing for loans in an aggregate principal amount of up to $570.0 million, consisting of (i) a first lien senior secured term loan in an aggregate principal amount of $120.0 million funded to us on the Closing Date, (ii) a $180.0 million senior secured term loan which is available to us at our option, of which $90.0 million is available to us until May 31, 2026, and of which the remaining $90.0 million is available until May 31, 2027 (the “Term Loans”) and (iii) a super senior revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $70.0 million available at our option (the “Revolver” and collectively with the Term Loans, the “Loans”). The Blackstone Loan Agreement also permits us, subject to the consent of the Lenders, to request incremental term loans in an aggregate principal amount of up to $200.0 million at any time and on the same terms as the initial Term Loans, except that any call protection will be determined at the time the incremental term loans are incurred. The proceeds of the Term Loans were used, together with cash on hand, to repay in full our obligations under the Hercules Loan Agreement, which resulted in a recording of a loss on debt extinguishment of $10.4 million in the consolidated statement of operations. The Term Loans bear interest at a variable SOFR plus 4.75%. The Revolver bears interest at SOFR plus 4.0%. The maturity date of the Loans is May 8, 2030. The Blackstone Loan Agreement provides for additional drawdowns at our option, subject to certain conditions, and includes customary covenants and a minimum liquidity covenant of $30.0 million.

On June 26, 2026, the Company entered into a First Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment Supplement and Amendment to the Blackstone Loan Agreement (the “First Incremental Supplement”) with Blackstone, Wilmington Trust and the Lenders party thereto, pursuant to which the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Credit Commitments under the Blackstone Loan Agreement was increased by $20.0 million, from $70.0 million to $90.0 million, and the Company’s Permitted Indebtedness (as defined in the Loan Agreement) was increased by $10.0 million, from $10.0 million to $20.0 million. The proceeds of the Term Loans were used, together with cash on hand, to repay in full our obligations under the Hercules Loan Agreement, which resulted in a recording of a loss on debt extinguishment of $10.4 million in the consolidated statement of operations. The Term Loans bear interest at a variable SOFR plus 4.75%. The Revolver bears interest at SOFR plus 4.0%. The maturity date of the Loans is May 8, 2030. The Blackstone Loan Agreement provides for additional drawdowns at our option, subject to certain conditions, and includes customary covenants and a minimum liquidity covenant of $30.0 million.
