Item 1 Comment:
Item 1 of the Statement is amended and supplemented as follows:
This Amendment No. 3 (this "Amendment No. 3" or this "Schedule 13D/A") amends and supplements the statement on Schedule 13D originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on February 24, 2023, and amended on February 12, 2024 and March 17, 2025 (as amended, the "Statement") by the Reporting Persons. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used in this Amendment No. 3 shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Statement. Unless amended or supplemented below, the information in the Statement remains unchanged. |
| Item 2. | Identity and Background |
|
| (a) | This Schedule 13D/A is being filed on behalf of RA Capital Management, L.P. ("RA Capital"), Peter Kolchinsky, Rajeev Shah, and RA Capital Healthcare Fund, L.P. (the "Fund"), who are collectively referred to herein as the "Reporting Persons." The agreement among the Reporting Persons to file this Schedule 13D/A jointly in accordance with Rule 13d-1(k) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Act"), is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
The Reporting Persons' ownership of the Issuer's securities includes (i) 5,456,521 shares of common stock held directly by the Fund; (ii) 1,867,229 shares of common stock held by RA Capital Nexus Fund III, L.P. (the "Nexus Fund III"); and (iii) a total of 75,116 shares underlying vested stock options (right to buy), and 7,927 shares underlying stock options (right to buy) which shall vest within 60 days of this filing held by Dr. Derek DiRocco for the benefit of RA Capital. The Fund also holds Pre-Funded Warrants (as defined below) through which it has a right to acquire 549,755 shares of common stock. The Pre-Funded Warrants contain a provision (the "Beneficial Ownership Blocker") which precludes exercise of the warrants to the extent that, following exercise, the Fund, together with its affiliates and other attribution parties, would own more than 9.99% of the common stock outstanding. The Reporting Persons are currently prohibited from exercising the Pre-Funded Warrants to the extent that the exercise would result in beneficial ownership of more than 7,796,433 shares of common stock by the Reporting Persons.
RA Capital Healthcare Fund GP, LLC is the general partner of the Fund and RA Capital Nexus Fund III GP, LLC is the general partner of the Nexus Fund III. The general partner of RA Capital is RA Capital Management GP, LLC, of which Dr. Kolchinsky and Mr. Shah are the controlling persons. RA Capital serves as investment adviser for the Fund and the Nexus Fund III and may be deemed a beneficial owner, for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Act"), of any securities of the Issuer held by the Fund or the Nexus Fund III. The Fund and the Nexus Fund III have delegated to RA Capital the sole power to vote and the sole power to dispose of all securities held in the Fund's and the Nexus Fund III's portfolio, including the shares of the Issuer's common stock reported herein. Because the Fund and the Nexus Fund III have divested themselves of voting and investment power over the reported securities they hold and may not revoke that delegation on less than 61 days' notice, the Fund and the Nexus Fund III disclaim beneficial ownership of the securities they hold for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Act and therefore disclaim any obligation to report ownership of the reported securities under Section 13(d) of the Act. As managers of RA Capital, Dr. Kolchinsky and Mr. Shah may be deemed beneficial owners, for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Act, of any securities of the Issuer beneficially owned by RA Capital. RA Capital, Dr. Kolchinsky, and Mr. Shah disclaim beneficial ownership of the securities reported in this Schedule 13D/A other than for the purpose of determining their obligations under Section 13(d) of the Act, and the filing of this Schedule 13D/A shall not be deemed an admission that either RA Capital, Dr. Kolchinsky, or Mr. Shah is the beneficial owner of such securities for any other purpose. |
| (b) | The address of the principal business office of each of the Reporting Persons is 200 Berkeley Street, 18th Floor, Boston, MA 02116. |
| (c) | The Fund is a private investment vehicle. RA Capital provides investment management services to the Fund and the Nexus Fund III. The principal occupation of Dr. Kolchinsky and Mr. Shah is investment management. |
| (d) | During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors). |
| (e) | During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons has been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree of final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws. |
| (f) | See Item 6 of the cover pages. |
| Item 3. | Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration |
| | Item 3 of the Statement is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
On September 4, 2025, the Fund purchased 1,176,470 shares of common stock at a price of $25.50 per share from the underwriters of the Issuer's public offering (the "September 2025 Offering"). The aggregate purchase price for all securities acquired by the Fund in the September 2025 Offering was $29,999,985, which was funded by the working capital of the Fund.
|
| Item 5. | Interest in Securities of the Issuer |
| (a) | Rows 11 and 13 of each Reporting Person's cover page to this Schedule 13D/A set forth the aggregate number of shares of common stock and percentages of the shares of common stock beneficially owned by such Reporting Person and are incorporated by reference. The percentage set forth in each row 13 is based upon the sum of: (i) 66,295,184 shares of common stock outstanding as of August 7, 2025, as reported in the Issuer's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on August 12, 2025 and (ii) 11,274,509 shares of common stock issued in the September 2025 Offering as disclosed in the Issuer's prospectus supplement dated September 2, 2025 filed with the SEC on September 3, 2025, and giving effect to stock options and Pre-Funded Warrants, to the extent exercisable within 60 days hereof, as referenced herein.
Due to field limitations of the EDGAR filing system, the percentages listed in Row 13 of each of the cover pages for RA Capital, Dr. Kolchinsky and Mr. Shah have been rounded down to 9.9%.
|
| (b) | Rows 7 through 10 of each Reporting Person's cover page to this Schedule 13D/A set forth the number of shares of common stock as to which such Reporting Person has the sole or shared power to vote or direct the vote and sole or shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition and are incorporated by reference. |
