[10-Q] Verastem, Inc. Quarterly Earnings Report

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Q2-25 highlights: Verastem (VSTM) recorded its first commercial revenue after the 8-May-25 FDA approval of AVMAPKI FAKZYNJA CO-PACK for KRAS-mt recurrent LGSOC. Net product sales were $2.1 million; six-month revenue totals $12.1 million, including a $10 million COPIKTRA asset sale.

Profitability: R&D expense was $24.8 million and SG&A $20.7 million, pushing operating costs to $45.9 million. Net loss widened to $25.9 million (-$0.39 basic EPS) versus -$8.3 million a year earlier; six-month loss reached $78.0 million. Diluted EPS (-$0.62) reflects warrant liability re-measurement.

Liquidity & capital: Cash and cash equivalents rose to $164.3 million (vs $88.8 million YE24) after a $75 million Note Purchase Agreement, $100.1 million equity/pre-funded warrant raise and $13.8 million warrant exercises. Operating cash burn was $71.3 million YTD. Long-term debt stands at $74.3 million; warrant liability fell to $21.8 million.

Balance sheet & risk: Total assets $196.3 million; stockholders’ equity swings positive to $36.1 million, yet management still cites “substantial doubt” about one-year going concern due to expected ongoing losses.

Operations: Commercial launch underway via specialty pharmacies (two customers = 100% receivables). Pipeline trials (RAMP series, VS-7375) continue alongside commercialization build-out.

Positive

• FDA approval of AVMAPKI FAKZYNJA creates first commercial revenue stream.
• $164 million cash on hand after $175 million of new debt/equity financing strengthens liquidity.
• Warrant exercises converted $18.5 million liability to equity, improving balance-sheet optics.

Negative

• Net loss of $78 million YTD; operating expenses vastly exceed product revenue.
• Going-concern warning despite recent financings signals sustained cash burn risk.
• Leverage: $74 million long-term debt plus contingent revenue payments increase future obligations.
• Customer concentration: two specialty pharmacies account for 100% receivables.

Insights

Biotech Equity Analyst

TL;DR First sales and cash influx de-risk near-term liquidity, but burn and execution on launch keep outlook balanced.

The FDA nod transforms Verastem from development to commercial stage and validates the RAF/MEK-FAK combination. Cash of $164 million—about nine quarters of recent burn—reduces immediate financing pressure and allows investment in launch and the RAMP programs. Share count climbed 37% YTD, yet warrant exercises eliminated $18.5 million of liability, improving equity. With product revenue only 5% of quarterly opex, investors will watch prescription traction, label expansion and KRAS G12D progress to justify valuation. Overall, positives (approval, cash) offset by high spend and going-concern language; I view the quarter as neutral.

Credit Analyst

TL;DR New $75 m note adds leverage; repayment linked to sales introduces cash-flow uncertainty—credit view remains cautious.

The Note Purchase Agreement lifts gross debt to $74.3 million with revenue-linked participation and a high-teens effective yield (FV discount model 12.8-13.5%). While proceeds bolstered liquidity, the structure back-loads obligations, raising risk if launch underperforms. Vendor financing ($8.9 million) and milestone accruals add to fixed charges. Substantial-doubt disclosure underscores that cash runway depends on successful commercialization and possible additional raises. From a creditor standpoint, leverage is high relative to negligible EBITDA, giving the filing a negative credit bias.

Applicable risks and uncertainties include the risks and uncertainties, among other things, regarding: the success in the development and potential commercialization of our product candidates, including avutometinib in combination with other compounds, including defactinib, LUMAKRAS® and others; and VS-7375; the uncertainties inherent in research and development, such as negative or unexpected results of clinical trials; the occurrence or timing of applications for our product candidates that may be filed with regulatory authorities in any jurisdictions; whether and when regulatory authorities in any jurisdictions may approve applications that may be filed for our product candidates and, if approved, whether our product candidates will be commercially successful in such jurisdictions; the impact of current and future healthcare reforms, including those affecting the delivery of or payment for healthcare products and services; our ability to obtain, maintain and enforce patent and other intellectual property protection for our product candidates; the scope, timing, and outcome of any legal proceedings; decisions by regulatory authorities regarding trial design, labeling and other matters that could affect the timing, availability or commercial potential of our product candidates; whether preclinical testing of our product candidates and preliminary or interim data from clinical trials will be predictive of the results or success of ongoing or later clinical trials; that the timing, scope and rate of reimbursement for our product candidates is uncertain; actions or advice of regulatory agencies to maintain regulatory approval of AVMAPKI FAKZYNJA CO-PACK; that the market opportunities of AVMAPKI FAKZYNJA CO-PACK are based on internal and third-party estimates which may prove to be incorrect; that third- party payors (including government agencies) may not reimburse; uncertainties related to the recent change in the U.S. presidential administration, including regulatory and policy changes that may adversely affect our business; that there may be competitive developments affecting our product candidates; that data may not be available when expected; that enrollment of clinical trials may take longer than expected; risks associated with preliminary and interim data, which may not be representative of more mature data, including with respect to interim duration of therapy data; that our marketed products and product candidates may cause adverse safety events and/or unexpected concerns may arise from additional data or analysis, or result in unmanageable safety profiles as compared to their levels of efficacy; that we may be unable to successfully validate, develop and obtain regulatory approval for companion diagnostic tests for our product candidates that require or would commercially benefit from such tests, or experience significant delays in doing so; that we may not be able to confirm the results from the RAMP 201 study or expand the approved indication for AVMAPKI FAKZYNJA CO-PACK; that our product candidates may experience manufacturing or supply interruptions or failures; that any of our third party contract research organizations, contract manufacturing organizations, clinical sites, or contractors, among others, who we rely on may fail to fully perform; that we face substantial competition, which may result in others developing or commercializing products before or more successfully than we do which could result in reduced market share or market potential for our product candidates; that we may be unable to successfully initiate or complete the clinical development and eventual commercialization of our product candidates; that the development and commercialization of our product candidates may take longer or cost more than planned, including as a result of conducting additional studies or our decisions regarding execution of such commercialization; that we may not have sufficient cash to fund our contemplated operations, including certain of our product development programs; that we may not attract and retain high quality personnel; that we or Chugai Pharmaceutical, Co. Ltd. (“Chugai”) may fail to fully perform under the avutometinib license agreement; that we or Secura Bio, Inc. (“Secura”) may fail to fully perform under the

asset purchase agreement with Secura, including in relation to milestone payments; that we may not see a return on investment on the payments we have and may continue to make pursuant to the collaboration and option agreement with GenFleet or that GenFleet may fail to fully perform under the agreement; that we may not be able to establish new or expand on existing collaborations or partnerships, including with respect to in-licensing of our product candidates, on favorable terms, or at all; that we may be unable to obtain adequate financing in the future through product licensing, co-promotional arrangements, public or private equity, debt financing or otherwise; that we may not pursue or submit regulatory filings for our product candidates; and that our product candidates will not receive regulatory approval, become commercially successful products, or result in new treatment options being offered to patients. Other risks and uncertainties include those identified under the heading “Risk Factors” contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 20, 2025, and in any subsequent filings with the SEC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

​

1. Nature of business

Verastem, Inc. (the “Company”) is a biopharmaceutical company committed to the development and commercialization of new medicines to improve the lives of patients diagnosed with ras sarcoma (“RAS”)/ mitogen activated pathway kinase (“MAPK”) pathway-driven cancers. On May 8, 2025, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) approved AVMAPKI FAKZYNJA CO-PACK (avutometinib capsules; defactinib tablets) for the treatment of adult patients with Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (“KRAS”) mutant (“KRAS mt”) recurrent low grade serous ovarian cancer (“LGSOC”) who received prior systemic therapy. The Company markets AVMAPKI FAKZYNJA CO-PACK in the United States. The Company’s pipeline is focused on novel small molecule drugs that inhibit critical signaling pathways in cancer that promote cancer cell survival and tumor growth, including RAF/MEK inhibition, FAK inhibition and KRAS G12D inhibition.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Verastem Securities Company and Verastem Europe GmbH, wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company. All financial information presented has been consolidated and includes the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Company is subject to the risks associated with other life science companies, including, but not limited to, possible failure of preclinical testing or clinical trials, competitors developing new technological innovations, market acceptance and commercial success of AVMAPKI FAKZYNJA CO-PACK, or any of the Company’s product candidates following receipt of regulatory approval, inability to obtain marketing approval for additional indications or product candidates, protection of proprietary technology and the continued ability to obtain adequate financing to fund the Company’s future operations. If the Company does not successfully commercialize AVMAPKI FAKZYNJA CO-PACK or any of its other product candidates, it will be unable to generate product revenue or achieve profitability and may need to raise additional capital.

As of June 30, 2025, the Company had cash, cash equivalents, and investments of $164.3 million. In accordance with applicable accounting standards, the Company evaluated whether there are conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within 12 months after the date of the issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company anticipates operating losses may continue for the foreseeable future and the Company continues to incur operating costs to execute its strategic plan, including costs related to research and development of its product candidates and commercial activities. As a result of the assessment in accordance with the applicable accounting standards, these conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for 12 months after the date the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.

The Company expects to finance its operations with its existing cash, cash equivalents and investments, through future net product revenues, through potential future milestones and royalties received pursuant to the Company’s Asset Purchase Agreement (“Secura APA”) with Secura, pursuant to the Company’s Note Purchase Agreement (as defined herein) (see Note 10. Debt), or through other strategic financing opportunities that could include, but are not limited to collaboration agreements, offerings of its equity, or the incurrence of debt. However, given the risks associated with these potential strategic or financing opportunities, they are not deemed probable for purposes of the going concern assessment. If the Company fails to obtain additional capital or generate sufficient revenue from its commercialization activities in the future, it may be unable to complete its planned preclinical studies and clinical trials and obtain approval of certain investigational product candidates from the FDA or foreign regulatory authorities. Therefore, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and as required by Regulation S-X, Rule 10-01 under the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern for the next twelve months. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements, or any adjustments that might result from the uncertainty related to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (including those which are normal and recurring) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial information have been included. When preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP, the Company must make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and related disclosures at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Additionally, operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the year ending December 31, 2025. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, as filed with the SEC on March 20, 2025.

​

Significant Accounting Policies

The significant accounting policies are described in Note 2. Significant accounting policies in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, there were no material changes to the significant accounting policies, except for significant accounting policies over product revenue, net, accounts receivable, net, inventory and intangible assets, each of which is detailed below.

Product Revenue, Net – The Company sells AVMAPKI FAKZYNJA CO-PACK to a limited number of specialty pharmacies in the United States. For the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company’s product revenue, net comprised solely of sales to specialty pharmacies. The specialty pharmacy customers dispense AVMAPKI FAKZYNJA CO-PACK directly to patients. In addition to distribution agreements with customers, the Company also enters into arrangements with (1) certain government agencies and various private organizations (“Third-Party Payers”), which may provide for chargebacks or discounts with respect to the purchase of AVMAPKI FAKZYNJA CO-PACK, and (2) Medicare and Medicaid, which may provide for certain rebates with respect to the purchase of AVMAPKI FAKZYNJA CO-PACK.

The Company recognizes revenue on sales of AVMAPKI FAKZYNJA CO-PACK when a customer obtains control of the product, which occurs at a specific point in time (typically upon delivery). Product revenues are recorded at the wholesale acquisition costs, net of applicable reserves for variable consideration. Components of variable consideration include trade discounts and allowances, Third-Party Payer chargebacks and discounts, government rebates, product returns, other patient focused allowances, such as voluntary co-pay assistance, benefits verification, and other patient support programs that are offered within contracts between the Company and customers, payors, and other indirect customers relating to the Company’s sale of AVMAPKI FAKZYNJA CO-PACK. These reserves, as detailed below, are based on the amounts earned, or to be claimed on the related sales, and are classified as reductions of accounts receivable or a current liability. These estimates take into consideration a range of possible outcomes based upon relevant factors such as, customer contract terms, information received from third parties regarding the anticipated payor mix for AVMAPKI FAKZYNJA CO-PACK, known market events and trends, industry data, and forecasted customer buying and payment patterns. Overall, these reserves reflect the Company’s best estimates of the amount of consideration to which it is entitled with respect to sales made.

The amount of variable consideration which is included in the transaction price may be constrained and is included in the net sales price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of the cumulative revenue recognized under contracts will not occur in a future period. The Company’s analyses contemplate the application of the constraint in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”), Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company determined a material reversal of revenue would not occur in a future period for the estimates detailed below and, therefore, the transaction price was not

10

Table of Contents

reduced further. Actual amounts of consideration ultimately received may differ from the Company’s estimates. If actual results in the future vary from the Company’s estimates, the Company will adjust these estimates, which would affect net product revenue and earnings in the period such variances become known.

Trade Discounts and Allowances: The Company generally provides customers with invoice discounts on sales of AVMAPKI FAKZYNJA CO-PACK for prompt payment and other discounts, which are explicitly stated in the Company’s contracts and are recorded as a reduction of revenue in the period the related product revenue is recognized.

Third-Party Payer Chargebacks, Discounts and Fees: The Company executes contracts with Third-Party End Users which allow for eligible purchases of AVMAPKI FAKZYNJA CO-PACK at prices lower than the wholesale acquisition cost. In some cases, customers will charge the Company for the difference between what they pay for AVMAPKI FAKZYNJA CO-PACK and the ultimate selling price to the Third-Party End Users to whom they sell the product. Reserves will generally be established in the same period that the related revenue is recognized, resulting in a reduction of product revenue and accounts receivable, net. Chargeback amounts will generally be determined at the time of resale to the qualified Third-Party End User by customers, and the Company generally will issue credits for such amounts within a few weeks of the customer’s notification to the Company of the resale. The reserves for chargebacks are expected to consist of credits that the Company expects to issue for units that remain in customer inventories at the end of each reporting period that the Company expects will be sold to Third-Party End Users, and chargebacks that customers have claimed, but for which the Company has not yet issued a credit. The Company estimated that there were no Third-Party End User chargebacks for the three months ended June 30, 2025.

Government Rebates: The Company is subject to discount and rebate payment obligations under various government programs including Federal and state Medicaid programs, Medicare, and others. These reserves are recorded in the same period the related revenue is recognized, resulting in a reduction of product revenue and the establishment of a current liability, which is included as a component of accrued expenses on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s liability for these rebates consist of invoices received for claims from prior quarters that have not been paid or for which an invoice has not yet been received, estimates of claims for the current quarter, and estimated future claims that will be made for product that has been recognized as revenue, but which remains in customer inventories at the end of each reporting period.

Other Patient Support Initiatives: Other patient support initiatives that the Company offers include voluntary co-pay assistance programs, which are intended to provide financial assistance to qualified commercially-insured patients with prescription drug co-payments required by payors. The calculation of the accrual for co-pay assistance is based on an estimate of claims and the cost per claim that the Company expects to receive for product that has been recognized as revenue, but remains in the distribution channel inventories at the end of each reporting period. The adjustments are recorded in the same period the related revenue is recognized, resulting in a reduction of product revenue and the establishment of a current liability which is included as a component of accrued expenses on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Product Returns: Consistent with industry practice, the Company generally offers customers a limited right of return for product that has been purchased from the Company. The Company estimates the amount of its product sales that may be returned by its customers and records this estimate as a reduction of revenue in the period the related product revenue is recognized. The Company estimates product return liabilities using available industry data and its own sales information, including its visibility into the inventory remaining in the distribution channel.

The Company’s return policy generally allows for eligible returns of AVMAPKI FAKZYNJA CO-PACK for credit under the following circumstances:

● Receipt of damaged product;

● Shipment errors that were a result of an error by the Company;

● Expired product that is returned during the period beginning three months prior to the product’s expiration and ending six months after the expiration date;

11

Table of Contents

● Quantities of product received by a customer in excess of quantity ordered;

● Product subject to a recall; and

● Product that the Company, at its sole discretion, has specified can be returned for credit.

As of June 30, 2025, the Company has not received any returns.

Accounts Receivable, Net

Accounts receivable, net consists of amounts due from customers, net of applicable revenue reserves. Accounts receivable have standard payments that generally require payment within 30 to 90 days. Management determines the allowance for credit loss by regularly evaluating individual customer receivables and considering a customer’s financial condition, credit history and current economic conditions. Based on our latest assessment of the collectability of the Company’s accounts receivable, an allowance for credit loss is not deemed necessary at June 30, 2025.

Inventory

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or estimated net realizable value. We determine the cost of inventories using the standard cost method, which approximates actual cost based on a first-in, first out basis. Inventories consist primarily of third-party manufacturing costs. The Company began capitalizing inventory upon receiving FDA approval for AVMAPKI FAKZYNJA CO-PACK on May 8, 2025. Prior to the FDA approval of AVMAPKI FAKZYNJA CO-PACK, expenses associated with the manufacturing of the Company's products were recorded as research and development expense.

The Company performs an assessment of the recoverability of capitalized inventory during each reporting period, and it writes down any excess and obsolete inventories to their estimated realizable value in the period in which the impairment is first identified. Such impairment charges, should they occur, are recorded within cost of sales – product within the condensed consolidated statements of operations and net loss. The determination of whether inventory costs will be realizable requires estimates by management. If actual market conditions are less favorable than projected by management, additional write-downs of inventory may be required which would be recorded as a cost of sales - product in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Shipping and handling costs for product shipments are recorded as incurred in cost of sales - product along with costs associated with manufacturing the product, and any inventory write-downs.

Intangible Assets

​

The Company records finite-lived intangible assets related to certain capitalized milestone payments at their fair value. These assets are amortized over their remaining useful lives, which are estimated based on the shorter of the remaining underlying patent life or the estimated useful life of the underlying product. Intangible assets are amortized using the economic consumption method if anticipated future revenues can be reasonably estimated. The straight-line method is used when future revenues cannot be reasonably estimated.

The Company assesses its finite-lived intangible assets for impairment if indicators are present or changes in circumstance suggest that impairment may exist. Events that could result in an impairment, or trigger an impairment assessment, include the receipt of additional clinical or nonclinical data regarding the Company’s drug products or a potentially competitive drug candidate, significant changes in the manner of our use of the acquired assets, or new information regarding future projected sales for the product. If impairment indicators are present or changes in circumstance suggest that impairment may exist, the Company performs a recoverability test by comparing the sum of the estimated undiscounted cash flows of each finite-lived intangible asset to its carrying value on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. If the undiscounted cash flows used in the recoverability test are less than the carrying value, the Company would determine the fair value of the finite-lived intangible asset and recognize an impairment loss if the carrying value of the finite-lived intangible asset exceeds its fair value.

Recently issued accounting standards updates

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”). The guidance in ASU 2023-09 improves the transparency of income tax disclosures by greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. The standard is effective for public companies for all annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. ASU 2023-09 will be effective for the Company beginning with its 2025 annual financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2023-09 may have on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No 2024-03—Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”). The guidance in ASU 2024-03 is intended to require more detailed disclosures about specified categories of expenses (including employee compensation, depreciation, and amortization) included in certain expense captions presented on the face of the income statement. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments may be applied either prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date of this ASU or retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this new guidance on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued, but not yet effective, are not expected to be applicable to the Company or have a material effect on the condensed consolidated financial statements upon future adoption.

Concentrations of credit risk and off-balance sheet risk

Cash, cash equivalents, investments and trade accounts receivable are financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk. The Company mitigates this risk by maintaining its cash and cash equivalents and investments with high quality, accredited financial institutions. The management of the Company’s investments is not discretionary on the part of these financial institutions. As of June 30, 2025, the Company’s cash, cash equivalents and investments were deposited at five financial institutions and it has no significant off-balance sheet concentrations of credit risk, such as foreign currency exchange contracts, option contracts or other hedging arrangements.

As of June 30, 2025 there were two customers that cumulatively made 100% of the Company’s trade accounts receivable balance. The Company assesses the creditworthiness of all its customers and sets and reassesses customer credit limits to ensure collectability of any trade accounts receivable balances are assured.

For each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, there were two customers who each individually accounted for greater than 10% of the Company’s total revenues. These two customers accounted for revenues of $0.9 million and $1.2 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.

Proceeds from Grants

In May 2022, the Company was awarded the “Therapeutic Accelerator Award” grant from Pancreatic Cancer Network (“PanCAN”) for up to $3.8 million (the “PanCAN Grant”). In August 2022, PanCAN agreed to provide the Company with an additional $0.5 million for the collection and analysis of patient samples. The grant is supporting a Phase 1b/2 clinical trial of GEMZAR (gemcitabine) and ABRAXANE (Nab-paclitaxel) in combination with avutometinib and defactinib entitled RAMP 205. The RAMP 205 trial is evaluating whether combining avutometinib (to target KRAS mutant, which is found in more than 90% of pancreatic adenocarcinomas), and defactinib (to reduce stromal density and adaptive resistance to avutometinib) to the standard GEMZAR/ABRAXANE regimen improves outcomes for patients with such pancreatic cancers. The Company recognizes grants as contra research and development expense in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss on a systematic basis over the periods in

13

Table of Contents

which the Company recognizes as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate. Eligible expenses incurred in excess of grant payments received up to the total amount of the PanCAN Grant are recorded as a grant receivable. Through June 30, 2025, the Company has received $4.1 million of cash proceeds which was initially recorded as deferred liabilities on the balance sheet. The Company recorded $0.0 million and $2.0 million of the proceeds as a reduction of research and development expense during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively. As of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the company recorded a grant receivable of $0.2 million related to the PanCAN Grant in the condensed consolidated and consolidated balance sheets.

3. Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the condensed consolidated balance sheets that sum to the total of the same such amounts shown in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows (in thousands):

​	​	​	​	​	​	​
​		June 30, 2025			December 31, 2024
Cash and cash equivalents	​	$	164,322	​	$	88,818
Restricted cash	​		241	​		241
Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	​	$	164,563	​	$	89,059

​

Amounts included in restricted cash as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 represent cash held to collateralize outstanding letters of credit provided as a security deposit for the Company’s office space located in Needham, Massachusetts in the amount of $0.2 million. The letters of credit are included in current restricted cash on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2025, and in non-current restricted cash as of December 31, 2024.

4. Fair value of financial instruments

The Company determines the fair value of its financial instruments based upon the fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes valuation inputs based on the observable nature of those inputs. The fair value hierarchy applies only to the valuation inputs used in determining the reported fair value of the investments and is not a measure of the investment credit quality. The hierarchy defines three levels of valuation inputs:

Level 1 inputs	Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company can access at the measurement date.
Level 2 inputs	Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 inputs	Unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The Company’s cash equivalents consist of U.S. Government money market funds. The cash equivalents have been initially valued at the transaction price and subsequently valued, at the end of each reporting period, utilizing third party pricing services or other market observable data. The pricing services utilize industry standard valuation models, including both income and market-based approaches and observable market inputs to determine value. These observable market inputs include reportable trades, benchmark yields, credit spreads, broker/dealer quotes, bids, offers, current spot rates and other industry and economic events. The Company validates the prices provided by third party pricing services by reviewing their pricing methods and matrices, obtaining market values from other pricing sources, analyzing pricing data in certain instances and confirming that the relevant markets are active. After completing its validation procedures, the Company did not adjust or override any fair value measurements provided by the pricing services as of June 30, 2025, or December 31, 2024.

Warrant Liability

A warrant liability was recorded as a result the July 2024 Offering (as defined herein) (see Note 15. Capital Stock). The fair value measurement of the warrant liability is classified as Level 3 under the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the warrant liability at inception and June 30, 2025, was determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The inputs to the Black-Scholes valuation model include the risk-free rate, stock price volatility, expected dividends and remaining term. Significant increases or decreases in any of those inputs in isolation could result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement.

Below are the inputs used to value the warrant liability at December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2025:

​

​	​	​	​	​	​	​
​	​	December 31, 2024		​	June 30, 2025

Note Purchase Agreement

The fair value of the Notes pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement represents the present value of estimated future payments, including interest, principal, Repayment Amount, and Revenue Participation Payments (each as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement) (see Note 10. Debt). The fair value measurement is based on significant Level 3 unobservable inputs such as the probability and timing of Revenue Participation Payments, Repayment Amount, and the discount rate. The Company determined the fair value of the Notes utilizing a discounted cash flow model of estimated future payments including interest, principal, Repayment Amount and Revenue Participation Payments utilizing a discount rate calculated as the term matched risk-free rate plus credit spread. At January 13, 2025, the Company utilized a discount rate between 11.9%-12.4% and at June 30, 2025, the Company utilized a discount rate between 12.8%-13.5%. The fair value of the Notes at June 30, 2025 was determined to be $74.3 million which differed from the contractual principal amount of $75.0 million by $0.7 million. Significant increases or decreases in any of these inputs in isolation could result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement.

Oxford Loan Agreement

The fair value of the Company’s Term Loans (as defined herein) (see Note 10. Debt) pursuant to the Loan Agreement (as defined herein) (see Note 10. Debt) was determined using a discounted cash flow analysis with current applicable rates for similar instruments as of the condensed consolidated balance sheet dates. The Company estimates that the fair value of its Term Loans was approximately $41.1 million at December 31, 2024 which differed from its carrying value of approximately $40.7 million. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt was determined using Level 3 inputs.

10. Debt

Note Purchase Agreement

On January 13, 2025 (the “Closing Date”), the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the “Note Purchase Agreement”) with RGCM SA LLC, as Purchaser Agent, Oberland Capital Management LLC (“Oberland”) and certain funds managed by Oberland Capital Management LLC, as purchasers (together with other purchasers party thereto from time to time, the “Purchasers”), pursuant to which the Company may sell to the Purchasers, and the Purchasers may buy from the Company, notes (the “Notes”) in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $150.0 million. On the Closing Date, the Company issued and sold an initial Note in an aggregate principal amount $75.0 million. In addition, the Company may issue and sell additional Notes with aggregate principal amount of up to $75.0 million as follows:

i. at the option of the Company, a second sale (the “Second Sale”) of $25.0 million principal amount of Notes, at any time prior to December 31, 2025, upon the FDA approval sufficient for the promotion and sale of avutometinib and defactinib for the treatment of LGSOC and subject to certain other customary conditions precedent; and

ii. at the option of the Company, a third sale (the “Third Sale”) of up to $50.0 million principal amount of Notes, at any time prior to December 31, 2026, provided that trailing six-month worldwide net sales of avutometinib and defactinib are at least $55.0 million and subject to certain other customary conditions precedent.

The outstanding principal amount of the Notes bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) the greater of the Term SOFR (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement) and 4.29%, and (ii) 3.71%, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances set forth in the Note Purchase Agreement and an overall cap of 9.75%, payable quarterly in arrears until the seventh anniversary of the Closing Date or the date on which all amounts owing to the Purchasers under the Note Purchase Agreement have been paid in full (the “Maturity Date”). For the first eight (8) quarters following the Closing Date, at the Company’s option, up to 50% of the interest due may be paid-in-kind and added to the then-outstanding principal balance of the Notes. Through June 30, 2025, the Company has not elected to defer any interest through its paid-in-kind option. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement) under the Note Purchase Agreement, the then-applicable interest rate on all outstanding obligations may be increased by an additional 5.00%.

Beginning on January 13, 2025 and continuing until the Maturity Date, the Purchasers will receive 1.00% (the “Revenue Participation Percentage”) of the first $100.0 million of net sales of each Included Product (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement) by the Company or its affiliates or licensees in each calendar year, payable quarterly. “Included Products” is defined in the Note Purchase Agreement to include (a) avutometinib and defactinib, including any product that contains either one of the foregoing in combination with any other active ingredient(s), and (b) all other compounds, chemical entities or pharmaceutical products being designed, developed, licensed, manufactured or commercialized by the Company or its subsidiaries from time to time. The Revenue Participation Percentage will increase pro rata immediately upon the occurrence of the Second Sale and the Third Sale, such that the Revenue Participation Percentage shall increase to a maximum of 2.00% in the event that $150 million in aggregate principal amount of Notes has been purchased pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement following the Third Sale. The outstanding principal amount of the Notes, interest accrued thereon and any other amounts owing to the Purchasers under the Note Purchase Agreement will be due in two equal instalments on (a) the sixth anniversary of the Closing Date, and (b) the Maturity Date.

All of the Notes may be redeemed prior to the Maturity Date at the option of the Company, subject to payment of the Repayment Amount (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement). The Purchasers may demand redemption of the Notes prior to the Maturity Date in the event of a Change of Control (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement) of the Company or an Event of Default (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement) under the Note Purchase Agreement, subject to payment of the Repayment Amount. The Repayment Amount is due at the earlier of the Maturity Date and when payment of all obligations under the Note Purchase Agreement are otherwise due. The Repayment Amount is

19

Table of Contents

(a) 135% of the principal amount of the Notes if redemption occurs before the second anniversary of the Closing Date upon a Change of Control; (b) if the preceding clause (a) does not apply, 175% of the principal amount of the Notes if redemption occurs prior to the third anniversary the Closing date; and (c) thereafter, 195% of the principal amount of the Notes if redemption occurs after the third anniversary the Closing Date, minus, in each case, the sum of regularly scheduled interest paid in cash, payments of principal in cash, and payments of revenue participation in cash prior to such redemption date.

The Note Purchase Agreement contains no financial covenants. The Company’s obligations under the Note Purchase Agreement are subject to customary covenants, including limitations on the Company’s ability to dispose of assets, undergo a change of control, merge with or acquire other entities, incur debt, incur liens, pay dividends or other distributions to holders of its capital stock, repurchase stock and make investments, in each case subject to certain exceptions. The Company’s obligations under the Note Purchase Agreement are secured by a security interest on substantially all of the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ assets, including its intellectual property related to avutometinib and defactinib, and a negative pledge on intellectual property related to the Company’s collaboration and option agreement with GenFleet (the “GenFleet Agreement”), subject to certain exceptions relating to the Company’s development of its intellectual property.

A portion of the proceeds of the Note Purchase Agreement were used to repay the Company’s obligations under the Loan Agreement (as defined below) in full. The Loan Agreement was terminated concurrently with entry into the Note Purchase Agreement.

The Company assessed the terms and features of the Note Purchase Agreement and determined that the Company is eligible to elect the fair value option under ASC 825, Financial Instruments. The Note Purchase Agreement contains various embedded features and the election of the fair value option allows the Company to bypass analysis of potential embedded derivatives and further analysis of bifurcation of any recognized financial liabilities. Under the fair value option, the financial liability is initially measured at its fair value on the issuance date and subsequently remeasured at estimated fair value on a recurring basis at each reporting date. Changes in the fair value of the Note Purchase Agreement, which include accrued interest, if any, are recorded as a component of change in fair value of Notes in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company has not elected to present interest expense separately from changes in fair value and therefore will not separately present interest expense associated with the Note Purchase Agreement. Changes in fair value caused by instrument-specific credit risk are presented separately in other comprehensive income or loss within the condensed statements of equity (deficit). The portion of total changes in fair value of Notes attributable to changes in instrument-specific credit risk are determined through specific measurement of periodic changes in the discount rate assumption exclusive of base market changes and are presented as a component of comprehensive income (loss) in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Under the fair value option, debt issuance costs are expensed as incurred. The Company incurred $0.8 million of debt issuance costs, of which $0.0 million and $0.7 million were recorded within selling, general and administrative expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively.

Loan Agreement

On March 25, 2022 (the “Loan Agreement Closing Date”), the Company entered into a loan and security agreement (the “Original Loan Agreement”) with Oxford Finance, LLC (“Oxford”), as collateral agent and a lender, and Oxford Finance Credit Fund III LP, as a lender (“OFCF III” and together with Oxford, the “Lenders”), pursuant to which the Lenders agreed to lend the Company up to an aggregate principal amount of $150.0 million in a series of term loans (the “Term Loans”). On January 4, 2024, the Company amended the Original Loan Agreement (as amended, the “Loan Agreement”) to extend the date by which it may draw down the Term C Loan from March 31, 2024, to March 31, 2025.

Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, the Company received an initial Term Loan of $25.0 million on the Loan Agreement Closing Date, and drew down the second term loan of $15.0 million (the “Term B Loan”) on March 22, 2023, and could have borrowed an additional $110.0 million of Term Loans at its option upon the satisfaction of certain conditions as follows:

i. $25.0 million (the “Term C Loan”), when the Company has received accelerated or full approval from the FDA of avutometinib for the treatment of LGSOC (the “Term C Milestone”). The Company could have drawn the Term C Loan within 60 days after the occurrence of the Term C Milestone, but no later than March 31, 2025.

ii. $35.0 million (the “Term D Loan”), when the Company has achieved at least $50.0 million in gross product revenue calculated on a trailing six-month basis (the “Term D Milestone”). The Company could have drawn the Term D Loan within 30 days after the occurrence of the Term D Milestone, but no later than March 31, 2025.

iii. $50.0 million (the “Term E Loan”), at the sole discretion of the Lenders.

The Term Loans bore interest at a floating rate equal to (a) the greater of (i) the one-month CME Secured Overnight Financing Rate and (ii) 0.13% plus (b) 7.37%, subject to an overall floor and cap. Interest was payable monthly in arrears on the first calendar day of each calendar month. As a result of the Term B Loan drawdown, beginning (i) April 1, 2025, or (ii) April 1, 2026, if either (A) avutometinib has received FDA approval for the treatment of LGSOC or (B) COPIKTRA has received FDA approval for the treatment of peripheral T-cell lymphoma, the Company would have been required to repay the Term Loans in consecutive equal monthly payments of principal, together with applicable interest, in arrears. All unpaid principal and accrued and unpaid interest with respect to each Term Loan were due and payable in full on March 1, 2027.

The Company was required to make a final payment of 5.0% of the original principal amount of the Term Loans that are drawn, payable at maturity or upon any earlier acceleration or prepayment of the Term Loans (the “Final Payment Fee”). The Company could have prepaid all, but not less than all, of the Term Loans, subject to a prepayment fee equal to (i) 3.0% of the principal amount of the applicable Term Loan if prepaid on or before the first anniversary date of the funding date of such Term Loan, (ii) 2.0% of the principal amount of the applicable Term Loan if prepaid after the first anniversary and on or before the second anniversary of the funding date of such Term Loan, and (iii) 1.0% of the principal amount of the applicable Term Loan if prepaid after the second anniversary of the applicable funding date of such Term Loan. All Term Loans were subject to a facility fee of 0.5% of the principal amount.

The Loan Agreement contained no financial covenants. The Loan Agreement included customary events of default, including, among others, payment defaults, breach of representations and warrants, covenant defaults, judgment defaults, insolvency and bankruptcy defaults, and a material adverse change. The occurrence of an event of default could have resulted in the acceleration of the obligations under the Loan Agreement, termination of the Term Loan commitments and the right to foreclose on the collateral securing the obligations. During the existence of an event of default, the Term Loans would have accrued interest at a rate per annum equal to 5.0% above the otherwise applicable interest rate.

In connection with the Loan Agreement, the Company granted Oxford a security interest in all of the Company’s personal property now owned or hereafter acquired, excluding intellectual property (but including the right to payments and proceeds of intellectual property), and a negative pledge on intellectual property.

Table of Contents

The Company assessed all terms and features of the Loan Agreement in order to identify any potential embedded features that would require bifurcation. As part of this analysis, the Company assessed the economic characteristics and risks of the Loan Agreement, including put and call features. The Company determined that all features of the Loan Agreement were clearly and closely associated with a debt host and did not require bifurcation as a derivative liability, or the fair value of the feature was immaterial to the Company's financial statements. The Company reassesses the features on a quarterly basis to determine if they require separate accounting. There have been no changes to the Company’s assessment.

Substantially concurrently with the closing of the Note Purchase Agreement, on January 13, 2025, the Company terminated its Loan Agreement and repaid in full the balance of its obligations under the Loan Agreement of approximately $42.7 million (the “Payoff Amount”). The Payoff Amount included the Final Payment Fee of $2.0 million, which was due at the earlier of prepayment or loan maturity, and certain prepayment fees as set forth in the Loan Agreement, a prepayment penalty fee of $0.6 million, and unpaid interest of $0.1 million. Upon the Lender’s receipt of the Payoff Amount, the Loan Agreement was terminated along with the Lender’s commitment to provide funding under any future term loans.  All liens on the Company’s assets to secure the loans under the Loan Agreement have been terminated and released. The Payoff Amount, excluding accrued interest, exceeded the carrying amount of the Term Loan on January 13, 2025 by $1.8 million. As a result the Company recorded a loss on debt extinguishment of $1.8 million included in the condensed statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the six months ended June 30, 2025.

The debt issuance costs and the Final Payment Fee have been recorded as a debt discount which were accreted to interest expense through the maturity date of the Term Loan using the effective interest method. The components of the carrying value of the Term Loan as of December 31, 2024, are detailed below (in thousands):

11. Leases

On April 15, 2014, the Company entered into a lease agreement for approximately 15,197 square feet of office and laboratory space in Needham, Massachusetts. The lease term commenced on April 15, 2014 and it was scheduled to expire on September 30, 2019. Effective February 15, 2018, the Company amended its lease agreement to relocate within the facility to another location consisting of 27,810 square feet of office space (the “February 2018 Amended Lease Agreement”).

The Company has accounted for its Needham, Massachusetts office space as an operating lease. The Company’s lease contains an option to renew and extend the lease terms and an option to terminate the lease prior to the expiration date. The Company has not included the lease extension or the termination options within the right-of-use asset and lease liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as neither option is reasonably certain to be exercised. The Company’s lease includes variable non-lease components (e.g., common area maintenance, maintenance, consumables, etc.) that are not included in the right-of-use asset and lease liability and are reflected as an expense in the period incurred. The Company does not have any other operating or finance leases.

As of June 30, 2025, a right-of-use asset of $1.0 million and lease liability of $1.0 million are reflected on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The elements of lease expense were as follows (dollar amounts in thousands):

14. Segment Reporting

The Company has one operating segment which is the business of researching, developing and commercializing drugs for the treatment of patients with cancer. While the Company group consists of entities incorporated in both the U.S. and Germany, the Company manages all business activities on a consolidated basis for the purposes of assessing performance, making operating decisions, and allocating Company resources. The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (the “CODM”) is its President and Chief Executive Officer. The measure of segment assets is the same as reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as total assets. The CODM assesses performance based on consolidated net loss that is also reported on the statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The CODM uses net loss to monitor budget versus actual results and to determine how to allocate resources and capital in line with the Company’s overall strategy and goals. The accounting policies of the Company's segment are the same as those described in Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

The table below is a summary of segment net loss including significant segment expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 (in thousands):

15. Capital stock

April 2025 Private Placement

On April 25, 2025, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain institutional accredited investors (the “PIPE Investors”), pursuant to which the Company sold to the PIPE Investors, in a private placement (the “2025 Private Placement”), an aggregate of 3,429,287 shares of the Company’s common stock at an offering price of $7.00 per share and, in lieu of common stock to certain PIPE Investors, pre-funded warrants to purchase an aggregate of 7,285,713 shares of common stock (the “April 2025 Pre-Funded Warrants,”) at an offering price of $6.9999 per April 2025 Pre-Funded Warrant. The 2025 Private Placement closed on April 28, 2025.

The exercise price of each April 2025 Pre-Funded Warrant equals $0.0001 per underlying share of common stock. The exercise price and the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of each April 2025 Pre-Funded Warrant is subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of certain stock dividends, stock splits, stock combinations, or similar events affecting the Company’s common stock. The April 2025 Pre-Funded Warrants are exercisable in cash or by means of a cashless exercise and will not expire until the date the April 2025 Pre-Funded Warrants are fully exercised. The April 2025 Pre-Funded Warrants may not be exercised if the aggregate number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by the holder thereof (together with its affiliates) immediately following such exercise would exceed a specified beneficial ownership limitation; provided, however, that a holder may increase or decrease the beneficial ownership limitation by giving 61 days’ notice to the Company, but not to any percentage in excess of 19.99%. In addition, upon the occurrence of a fundamental transaction (as described in the April 2025 Pre-Funded Warrant), each April 2025 Pre-Funded Warrant will have the right to receive, upon exercise of such April 2025 Pre-Funded Warrant, the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property that such holders would have received had they exercised such April 2025 Pre-Funded Warrant immediately prior to such fundamental transaction without regard to any limitations on exercise contained in the April 2025 Pre-Funded Warrants.

The April 2025 Pre-Funded Warrants cannot require cash settlement, are freestanding financial instruments that are legally detachable and separately exercisable from the shares of common stock with which they were issued, are immediately exercisable, do not embody an obligation for the Company to repurchase its common stock shares and permit the holders to receive a fixed number of shares of common stock upon exercise. Additionally, the April 2025 Pre-Funded Warrants do not provide any guarantee of value or return. Accordingly, the April 2025 Pre-Funded Warrants are classified as a component of permanent equity. The net proceeds of the 2025 Private Placement were approximately $69.9 million, after deducting placement agent fees and other expenses.

Stock Purchase Agreement

In connection with the Note Purchase Agreement, on January 13, 2025, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) with the certain funds managed by Oberland and affiliates thereof (the “SPA Investors”), pursuant to which the SPA Investors purchased an aggregate of 1,416,939 shares of the Company’s common stock, at a price of $5.2931 per share, based on the trailing 30-trading day volume-weighted average price of the Company’s common stock, as of the date of the Stock Purchase Agreement. The Company received net proceeds of $7.4 million after deducting for offering costs which was recorded as component of permanent equity during the six months ended June 30, 2025. In addition, pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company granted the SPA Investors, for a period of three years following the closing on January 13, 2025, a right to participate in any equity offerings consummated by the Company in an amount up to $2.5 million, subject to certain limitations and exclusions set out in the Stock Purchase Agreement.

July 2024 Public Offering

On July 23, 2024, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement with Guggenheim Securities, LLC and Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. (“Cantor”), as representatives of the several underwriters relating to the underwritten offering, issuance and sale by the Company of: (i) 13,333,334 shares of the Company’s common stock, and accompanying warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase up to 13,333,334 shares of common stock; and (ii) to certain investors, pre-funded warrants (the “July 2024 Pre-Funded Warrants”) to purchase up to 5,000,000 shares of common stock and accompanying

26

Table of Contents

Warrants to purchase 5,000,000 shares of common stock (collectively, the “July 2024 Offering”). Each share of common stock was sold with an accompanying Warrant at a combined price of $3.00, and each July 2024 Pre-Funded Warrant was sold together with an accompanying Warrant at a combined price of $2.999, which is equal to the combined offering price per share of common stock and accompanying Warrant less the $0.001 exercise price of each July 2024 Pre-Funded Warrant. The July 2024 Offering closed on July 25, 2024. The Company received approximately $50.8 million in net proceeds, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses.

Each July 2024 Pre-Funded Warrant has an exercise price equal to $0.001 per underlying share of common stock. The July 2024 Pre-Funded Warrants are exercisable as of July 25, 2024, do not expire and are exercisable in cash or by means of a cashless exercise.

Each Warrant has an exercise price equal to $3.50. Each Warrant is exercisable for one share of the Company’s common stock (or, in certain limited circumstances in lieu of a share of common stock, a pre-funded warrant for one share of the Company’s common stock at the warrant exercise price less the exercise price of the pre-funded warrant purchased). The Warrants are exercisable as of July 25, 2024 until their expiration on January 25, 2026. The Warrants are exercisable in cash or, in certain limited circumstances only, by means of a cashless exercise.

The exercise price and the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of each Warrant or July 2024 Pre-Funded Warrant, as applicable, is subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of certain stock dividends and distributions, stock splits, stock combinations, reclassifications or similar events affecting the Company’s common stock as well as upon any distribution of assets, including cash, stock or other property, to the Company’s stockholders.

The Company may not effect the exercise of any Warrant or July 2024 Pre-Funded Warrant, and a holder will not be entitled to exercise any portion of any Warrant or July 2024 Pre-Funded Warrant if, upon giving effect to such exercise, the aggregate number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by the holder (together with its affiliates) would exceed 4.99% (or such higher percentage up to 19.99%, at the election of the holder) of the number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, which percentage may be increased or decreased at the holder’s election upon 61 days’ notice to the Company subject to the terms of such Warrants or July 2024 Pre-Funded Warrants, as applicable, provided that such percentage may in no event exceed 19.99%. In the event that the exercise of a Warrant would cause the holder to beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (or such higher percentage up to 19.99%, at the election of the holder) of the total number shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise, the holder of a Warrant may elect to purchase a pre-funded warrant for one share of the Company’s common Stock, rather than a share of common stock, at the Warrant exercise price less the exercise price of the pre-funded warrant purchased.

In addition, upon the consummation of an acquisition (as described in the Warrants agreements and July 2024 Pre-Funded Warrants agreements, as applicable), each Warrant and July 2024 Pre-Funded Warrant will automatically be converted into the right of the holder of such Warrant or July 2024 Pre-Funded Warrant, as applicable, to receive the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property that such holders would have received had they exercised such Warrant or July 2024 Pre-Funded Warrant, as applicable, immediately prior to such acquisition, without regard to any limitations on exercise contained in the Warrant agreements or July 2024 Pre-Funded Warrant agreements.

The Warrants meet the definition of a derivative pursuant to FASB Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and do not meet the derivative scope exception given the Warrants do not qualify under the indexation guidance. As a result, the Warrants were initially recognized as liabilities and measured at fair value using the Black-Scholes valuation model with subsequent changes in fair value recorded in earnings. The Warrants were recorded at a fair value of $39.6 million upon issuance and the Company allocated $39.6 million of the proceeds as warrant liability. In December 2024, 250,000 Warrants were exercised for 250,000 shares of common stock. The fair value of the 250,000 Warrants at the exercise date was $0.5 million, which was reclassified from warrant liability to additional paid-in capital. In March 2025, 1,166,666 Warrants were exercised for 1,166,666 shares of common stock. The fair value of the 1,166,666 Warrants on their exercise dates was $5.9 million, which was reclassified from warrant liability to additional paid-in capital. In May 2025, 2,787,499 Warrants were exercised for 2,787,499 shares of common stock. The fair value of the 2,787,499 Warrants on their exercise dates was $12.7 million, which was reclassified from warrant liability to additional paid-in capital during the six months ended June 30, 2025. On June 30, 2025, the fair

27

Table of Contents

value of the 14,129,169 outstanding Warrants was determined to be $21.8 million and the Company recorded this amount as warrant liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company recorded the mark-to-market adjustment of $20.3 million and $17.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively under change in fair value of warrant liability within the condensed consolidated statements of operations and loss.

The July 2024 Pre-Funded Warrants cannot require cash settlement, are freestanding financial instruments that are legally detachable and separately exercisable from the shares of common stock and Warrants with which they were issued, are immediately exercisable, and do not embody an obligation for the Company to repurchase its common stock shares and permit the holders to receive a fixed number of shares of common stock upon exercise. Additionally, the July 2024 Pre-Funded Warrants do not provide any guarantee of value or return. Accordingly, the July 2024 Pre-Funded Warrants are classified as a component of permanent equity. The Company allocated $15.4 million of the proceeds to the July 2024 Pre-Funded Warrants and shares of common stock issued. During the quarter ended June 30, 2025, the holders exercised 2,500,000 July 2024 Pre-Funded Warrants, exercise price $0.001 per share, via cashless exercise resulting in the issuance of 2,499,665 shares of common stock.

June 2023 Public Offering

In June 2023, in an underwritten offering, the Company offered 8,489,409 shares of the Company’s common stock, at a price to the public of $9.75 per share, less the underwriting discounts and commissions, and, in lieu of shares of common stock to certain investors, pre-funded warrants (the “June 2023 Pre-Funded Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,538,591 shares of common stock at a price to the public of $9.749 per share of common stock underlying a pre-funded warrant, which represents the per share public offering price for the shares of common stock less the $0.001 per share exercise price for each such share of common stock underlying a June 2023 Pre-Funded Warrant.

The Company could not have effected the exercise of any June 2023 Pre-Funded Warrant, and a holder was not entitled to exercise any portion of any June 2023 Pre-Funded Warrant if, upon giving effect to such exercise, the aggregate number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by the holder (together with its affiliates) would have exceeded 9.99% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, which percentage could have been increased or decreased at the holder’s election upon 61 days’ notice to the Company subject to the terms of such June 2023 Pre-Funded Warrant, provided that such percentage in no event exceeded 19.99%.

Each June 2023 Pre-Funded Warrant had an exercise price equal to $0.001 per share of common stock. The exercise price and the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of each June 2023 Pre-Funded Warrant was subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of certain stock dividends and distributions, stock splits, stock combinations, reclassifications or similar events affecting the Company’s common stock as well as upon any distribution of assets, including cash, stock or other property, to the Company’s stockholders. The June 2023 Pre-Funded Warrants were exercisable as of June 21, 2023, did not expire and were exercisable in cash or by means of a cashless exercise. In addition, upon the consummation of an acquisition (as described in the June 2023 Pre-Funded Warrant agreements), each June 2023 Pre-Funded Warrant would have automatically been converted into the right of the holder of such June 2023 Pre-Funded Warrant to receive the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property that such holders would have received had they exercised such June 2023 Pre-Funded Warrant immediately prior to such acquisition, without regard to any limitations on exercise contained in the June 2023 Pre-Funded Warrants.

The June 2023 Pre-Funded Warrants could not have required cash settlement, were freestanding financial instruments that were legally detachable and separately exercisable from the shares of common stock with which they were issued, were immediately exercisable, and did not embody an obligation for the Company to repurchase its common stock shares and permitted the holders to receive a fixed number of shares of common stock upon exercise. Additionally, the June 2023 Pre-Funded Warrants did not provide any guarantee of value or return. Accordingly, the June 2023 Pre-Funded Warrants were classified as a component of permanent equity. After deducting for commissions and other offering expenses, the Company received net proceeds of approximately $91.4 million from the sale of 8,489,409 shares of common stock and June 2023 Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase up to 1,538,591 shares of common stock.

As of June 30, 2025, there were no June 2023 Pre-Funded Warrants outstanding.

Series B Convertible Preferred Stock

On January 24, 2023, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with certain purchasers pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell and issue to the purchasers in a private placement (the “Private Placement”) up to 2,144,160 shares of its Series B convertible preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series B Convertible Preferred Stock”), in two tranches. On January 24, 2023, the Company filed the Certificate of Designation of the Preferences, Rights and Limitations of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B Convertible Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation”) setting forth the preferences, rights and limitations of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The Series B Convertible Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation became effective upon filing.

Each share of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into 3.5305 shares of the Company’s common stock, at the option of the holders at any time, subject to certain limitations, including that the holder will be prohibited from converting Series B Convertible Preferred Stock into common stock if, as a result of such conversion, the holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own a number of shares of common stock above a conversion blocker, which is initially set at 9.99% (the “Conversion Blocker”) of the total common stock then issued and outstanding immediately following the conversion of such shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. Holders of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock are permitted to increase the Conversion Blocker to an amount not to exceed 19.99% upon 60 days’ notice.

The Company agreed to sell and issue in the first tranche of the Private Placement 1,200,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock at a purchase price of $25.00 per share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (equivalent to $7.0812 per share of common stock). The first tranche of the Private Placement closed on January 27, 2023. The Company received gross proceeds from the first tranche of the Private Placement of approximately $30.0 million, before deducting fees to the placement agent and other offering expenses payable by the Company (“Series B Convertible Preferred Stock Proceeds”).

In addition, the Company agreed to sell and issue in the second tranche of the Private Placement 944,160 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock at a purchase price of $31.77 per share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (equivalent to $9.00 per share of common stock on a post-May 2023 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) basis if at any time within 18 months following the closing of the first tranche the 10-day volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock (as quoted on Nasdaq and as calculated by Bloomberg) should reach at least $13.50 per share, such threshold reflects an adjustment to account for the Reverse Stock Split (which may be further adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar transaction as needed) with aggregate trading volume during the same 10-day period of at least $25 million (the “Second Tranche Right”). The second tranche of the Private Placement is expected to close within seven trading days of meeting the second tranche conditions and will be subject to additional, customary closing conditions. If the Second Tranche Right conditions are satisfied, the Company anticipates receiving gross proceeds from the second tranche of the Private Placement of approximately $30.0 million, before deducting fees to the placement agent and other offering expenses payable by the Company.

The Series B Convertible Preferred Stock ranks (i) senior to the common stock; (ii) senior to all other classes and series of equity securities of the Company that by their terms do not rank senior to the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock; (iii) senior to all shares of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock the equity securities described in (i)-(iii), the “Junior Stock”); (iv) on parity with any class or series of capital stock of the Company hereafter created specifically ranking by its terms on parity with the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Parity Stock”); (v) junior to any class or series of capital stock of the Company hereafter created specifically ranking by its terms senior to any Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (“Senior Stock”); and (vi) junior to all of the Company’s existing and future debt obligations, including convertible or exchangeable debt securities, in each case, as to distributions of assets upon

So long as any shares of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the Company cannot without the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of majority of the shares of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock then-outstanding, in which the holders of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock vote separately as a class: (a) amend, alter, modify or repeal (whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise) the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation, the Company’s certificate of incorporation, or the Company’s bylaws in any manner that adversely affects the rights, preferences, privileges or the restrictions provided for the benefit of, the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock; (b) issue further shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock or increase or decrease (other than by conversion) the number of authorized shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock; (c) authorize or issue any Senior Stock; or (d) enter into any agreement to do any of the foregoing that is not expressly made conditional on obtaining the affirmative vote or written consent of the majority of then-outstanding Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. Holders of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to receive when, as and if dividends are declared and paid on the common stock, an equivalent dividend, calculated on an as-converted basis. Shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock are otherwise not entitled to dividends.

The Company initially classified the first tranche of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock as temporary equity in the consolidated balance sheets as the Company could have been required to redeem the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock if the Company could not convert the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock into shares of common stock for any reason, including due to any applicable laws or by the rules or regulations of any stock exchange, interdealer quotation system, or other self-regulatory organization with jurisdiction over the Company which is not solely in the control of the Company. If the Company was required to redeem the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, it would have been based upon the volume-weighted-average price of common stock on an as converted basis on the date the holders provided a conversion notice to the Company. On October 18, 2024, holders of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock elected to convert 1,200,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock for 4,236,568 shares of the Company’s common stock and consequently, the Company issued 4,236,568 shares of its common stock to holders of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. Upon conversion, the Company reclassified $21.2 million from Series B Convertible Preferred Stock to common stock and additional paid in capital on the consolidated balance sheet. As of June 30, 2025, there were no shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding.

The Company evaluated the Second Tranche Right under Accounting Standard Codification 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and determined that it met the requirements for separate accounting from the initial issuance of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock as a freestanding financial instrument. The Company then determined the Second Tranche Right should be liability classified pursuant to ASC 480. As a result, the Company classified the Second Tranche Right as a non-current liability within the condensed consolidated balance sheets and the Second Tranche Right was initially recorded at fair value and is subsequently re-measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period. The fair value of the Second Tranche Right on the date of issuance was determined to be $6.9 million based on a Monte-Carlo valuation and the Company allocated $6.9 million of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock Proceeds to this liability and recorded this amount as preferred stock tranche liability. On March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the fair value of the Second Tranche Right was determined to be $10.2 million, and $4.2 million, respectively, and the Company recorded the mark to market adjustment of $6.0 million under change in fair value of preferred stock tranche liability within the condensed statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The Second Tranche Right expired in July 2024 and is no longer outstanding.

The Company determined that all other features of the securities offered pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement were clearly and closely associated with the equity host and did not require bifurcation or the fair value of the feature was immaterial to the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements. There has been no change to Company’s original assessment.

Series A Convertible Preferred Stock

On November 4, 2022, the Company entered into an exchange agreement with Biotechnology Value Fund, L.P., Biotechnology Value Fund II, L.P., Biotechnology Value Trading Fund OS LP and MSI BVF SPV, LLC (collectively referred to as “BVF”), pursuant to which BVF exchanged 833,333 shares of the Company’s common stock for 1,000,000 shares of newly designated Series A convertible preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series A Convertible Preferred Stock”).

Each share of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock was convertible into 0.833 shares of the Company’s common stock at the option of the holder at any time, subject to certain limitations, including that the holder was prohibited from converting the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock into common stock if, as a result of such conversion, the holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own a number of shares of common stock above the Conversion Blocker, initially set at 9.99%, of the total common stock then issued and outstanding immediately following the conversion of such shares of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. Holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock were permitted to increase the Conversion Blocker to an amount not to exceed 19.99% upon 60 days’ notice.

Shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock generally had no voting rights, except as required by law and except that the consent of a majority of the holders of the outstanding Series A Convertible Preferred Stock was required to amend the terms of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. In the event of the Company’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up, holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock would have participated pari passu with any distribution of proceeds to holders of common stock. Holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock were entitled to receive when, as and if dividends were declared and paid on the common stock, an equivalent dividend, calculated on an as-converted basis. Shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock were otherwise not entitled to dividends.

The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock were (i) senior to any class or series of capital stock of the Company hereafter created specifically ranking by its terms junior to the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock; (ii) on parity with the common stock and any class or series of capital stock of the Company created specifically ranking by its terms on parity with the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock; and (iii) junior to the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and to any class or series of capital stock of the Company created specifically ranking by its terms senior to any Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, in each case, as to distributions of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, whether voluntarily or involuntarily.

The Company evaluated the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock for liability or equity classification under ASC 480, and determined that equity treatment was appropriate because the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock did not meet the definition of the liability under ASC 480. Additionally, the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock were not redeemable for cash or other assets (i) on a fixed or determinable date, (ii) at the option of the holder, or (iii) upon the occurrence of an event that is not solely within control of the Company. As such, the Company recorded the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock as permanent equity.

In June 2025, holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock elected to convert all 1,000,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock for 833,332 shares of the Company’s common stock and consequently, the Company issued 833,332 shares of its common stock to holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. As of June 30, 2025, there were no shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding.

At-the-market equity offering program

In August 2021, the Company entered into a sales agreement with Cantor pursuant to which the Company can offer and sell up to $100.0 million of its common stock at the current market prices from time to time through Cantor as

sales agent (the “August 2021 ATM”). During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company sold 0 shares and 4,000,000 shares, respectively, under the August 2021 ATM for net proceeds of approximately $0.0 million and $22.7 million, respectively, after deducting commissions and other offering expenses. There were no shares sold under the August 2021 ATM for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

16. Stock-based compensation

Option Exchange Program

On January 17, 2024, the Company’s stockholders, upon recommendation of the board of directors, approved a one-time stock option exchange program (the “Option Exchange Program”) for certain employees, executive officers and non-employee directors of the Company who held certain underwater options and remained employed or otherwise engaged by the Company through the completion of the Exchange Offer (as defined herein). The Company’s offer to participate in the Option Exchange Program commenced on February 8, 2024, and expired on March 8, 2024 (the “Exchange Offer”). Pursuant to the Exchange Offer, 42 eligible holders elected to exchange, and the Company accepted for cancellation, eligible options to purchase an aggregate of 603,330 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Exchanged Options”). On March 11, 2024, promptly following the expiration of the Exchange Offer, the Company granted new options to purchase 603,330 shares of common stock (the “New Options”), pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Offer and the Amended and Restated 2021 Equity Incentive Plan. The exercise price of the New Options granted was $11.44 per share, which was the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market on the grant date of the New Options.

The exchange of stock options was treated as a modification for accounting purposes. As a result of the Option Exchange Program, the Company will recognize incremental stock-based compensation expense of $1.7 million over the requisite service period of the New Options, which is two or four years depending on whether the Exchanged Options were vested at the time of exchange. Since the Exchanged Options were not at-the-money on the modification date, the Company was precluded from utilizing the simplified method as described in SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 14.D.2 to calculate the expected term as a key assumption in the Black-Scholes pricing model. Therefore, the Company utilized the binomial lattice model to calculate the fair value of the Exchanged Options immediately prior to the exchange. The Company utilized the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to calculate the fair value of the New Options on the modification date. The Company will recognize the remaining unamortized stock compensation expense for the Exchanged Options on the modification date over the original requisite service period of the Exchanged Options.

Employee stock purchase plan

At the Special Meeting of Stockholders, held on December 18, 2018, the stockholders approved the 2018 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“2018 ESPP”). On June 21, 2019, the board of directors of the Company amended and restated the 2018 ESPP, to account for certain non-material changes to the plan’s administration and, effective May 30, 2023, in connection with the Reverse Stock Split, the board of directors amended and restated the 2018 ESPP to account for the adjustments to the share reserves (the “Amended and Restated 2018 ESPP”). The Amended and Restated 2018 ESPP provides eligible employees with the opportunity, through regular payroll deductions, to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at 85% of the lesser of the fair market value of the common stock on (a) the date the option is granted, which is the first day of the purchase period, and (b) the exercise date, which is the last business day of the purchase period. The Amended and Restated 2018 ESPP generally allows for two six-month purchase periods per year beginning in January and July, or such other periods as determined by the compensation committee of the Company’s board of directors. The fair value of shares expected to be purchased under the Amended and Restated 2018 ESPP was calculated using the following weighted-average assumptions:

​	​	​	​	​	​	​
​	​	Six months ended June 30,
​	​	2025		​	2024

Dividend yield		—	​	​	—	​
Expected term (years)		0.5	​	​	0.5	​

For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized less than $0.1 million in each period of stock-based compensation expense under the Amended and Restated 2018 ESPP. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company issued 8,033 shares of common stock for proceeds of $0.1 million under the Amended and Restated 2018 ESPP.

17. Net loss per share

Basic loss per common share is calculated by dividing net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. For purposes of calculating net loss per share, weighted-average number of common shares outstanding includes the weighted average effect of the pre-funded warrants issued in June 2023 and in July 2024, the exercise of which requires little or no consideration for the delivery of shares of common stock. Diluted net loss per common share is calculated by increasing the denominator by the weighted-average number of additional shares that could have been outstanding from securities convertible into common stock, such as the warrants issued in July 2024, stock options, restricted stock units, and employee stock purchase plan shares (using the “treasury stock” method), and the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (using the “if-converted” method), unless their effect on net loss per share is anti-dilutive.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the dilutive effect of the Warrants issued by the Company is reflected in diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) using the treasury stock method. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the net loss, basic and diluted EPS are the same as the assumed exercise of stock options, warrants and restricted stock units are anti-dilutive.

18. License, collaboration and commercial agreements

Pfizer, Inc.

On July 11, 2012, the Company entered into a license agreement (the “Pfizer Agreement”) with Pfizer, Inc. (“Pfizer”) under which Pfizer granted the Company worldwide, exclusive rights to research, develop, manufacture and commercialize products containing certain of Pfizer’s inhibitors of FAK, including defactinib, for all therapeutic, diagnostic and prophylactic uses in humans. The Company has the right to grant sublicenses under the foregoing licensed rights, subject to certain restrictions.

Upon entering into the Pfizer Agreement, the Company made a one-time cash payment to Pfizer in the amount of $1.5 million and issued 16,001 shares of its common stock. In April 2025, the Company entered into an amendment to the Pfizer Agreement such that a $7.5 million milestone became payable upon FDA approval of AVMAPKI FAKZYNJA CO-PACK on May 8, 2025 (the “First Pfizer Milestone”), and $8.0 million milestone (the “Second Pfizer Milestone”) is payable upon the one-year anniversary of the FDA approval of AVMAPKI FAKZYNJA CO-PACK. The Company recorded a $15.0 million intangible asset related to these payments on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and will record $0.5 million of interest expense related to the Second Pfizer Milestone. Pfizer is also eligible to receive up to $2.0 million in developmental milestones and up to an additional $110.0 million based on the successful attainment of regulatory and commercial sales milestones. The future milestone payments are contingent in nature and will be recognized if and when the respective contingencies are resolved. Pfizer is also eligible to receive high single to mid-double-digit royalties on future net sales of the products. The Company’s royalty obligations with respect to each product in each country begin on the date of first commercial sale of the product in that country, and end on the later of 10 years after the date of first commercial sale of the product in that country or the date of expiration or abandonment of the last claim contained in any issued patent or patent application licensed by Pfizer to the Company that covers the product in that country.

License Agreement

In the second quarter of 2025, the Company entered into an agreement with a third party to obtain an exclusive license for certain patents and intellectual property related to avutometinib and defactinib (the “License Agreement”). This agreement covers one of the four patent families that the Company has exclusively licensed and are owned by either Chugai or the third party. Pursuant to the License Agreement, the Company became obligated to pay $0.7 million in the second quarter of 2025 and is further obligated to pay up to $3.7 million upon achievement of certain milestones. The future milestone payments are contingent in nature and will be recognized if and when the respective contingencies are resolved.

GenFleet Therapeutics (Shanghai), Inc.

On August 24, 2023, the Company entered into GenFleet Agreement, pursuant to which GenFleet granted the Company the option to obtain exclusive development and commercialization rights worldwide outside of mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan (the “Territory”) for up to three oncology programs targeting RAS pathway driven cancers (the “GenFleet Options”). The Company may exercise its GenFleet Options on a program-by-program basis. In January 2025, the Company exercised its GenFleet Option with respect to VS-7375 and made a $6.0 million payment to GenFleet.

The Company made an upfront payment of $2.0 million to GenFleet in September 2023 and will provide $1.5 million of research support over the first three years of the GenFleet Agreement. In addition, pursuant to the GenFleet Agreement, upon achievement of certain milestones, and upon the Company exercising its GenFleet Options, GenFleet will be entitled to receive payments of up to $622.0 million, inclusive of (i) up to $154.0 million upon achievement of certain development and commercialization milestones, (ii) up to $450.0 million upon achievement of certain sales milestones, and (iii) up to $18.0 million upon exercise of all three GenFleet Options. The Company has also agreed to pay GenFleet royalties on net sales of licensed products in the Territory ranging from the mid to high single digits.

The Company may terminate the GenFleet Agreement in its entirety or on a program-by-program basis by providing 90 days written notice to GenFleet. Either party may terminate the GenFleet Agreement in its entirety or on a program-by-program and country-by-country basis, with 60 days’ written notice for the other party’s material breach if such party fails to cure the breach. Either party may also terminate the GenFleet Agreement in its entirety upon certain insolvency events involving the other party.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company expensed $6.0 million, related to the GenFleet Option payment made within research and development expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The other future milestone payments are contingent in nature and will be recognized if and when the respective contingencies are resolved. If the Company elects to exercise further GenFleet Options, the related payment will be recognized if and when each respective GenFleet Option is elected.

Secura

On August 10, 2020, the Company and Secura signed the Secura APA and on September 30, 2020, the transaction closed.

Pursuant to the Secura APA, the Company sold to Secura its exclusive worldwide license, including related assets, for the research, development, commercialization, and manufacture in oncology indications of products containing duvelisib. The sale included certain intellectual property related to duvelisib in oncology indications, certain existing duvelisib inventory, claims and rights under certain contracts pertaining to duvelisib. Pursuant to the Secura APA, Secura assumed all operational and financial responsibility for activities that were part of the Company’s duvelisib oncology program, including all commercialization efforts related to duvelisib in the United States and Europe, as well as the Company’s ongoing duvelisib clinical trials. Further, Secura assumed all obligations with existing collaboration partners developing and commercializing duvelisib, which include Yakult Honsha Co., Ltd. (“Yakult”), CSPC

36

Table of Contents

Pharmaceutical Group Limited (“CSPC”), and Sanofi. Additionally, Secura assumed all royalty payment obligations due under the amended and restated license agreement with Infinity Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

Pursuant to the terms of the Secura APA, Secura has paid the Company an up-front payment of $70.0 million in September 2020 and has agreed to pay the Company (i) regulatory milestone payments up to $45.0 million, consisting of a payment of $35.0 million upon receipt of regulatory approval of COPIKTRA in the United States for the treatment of peripheral T-cell lymphoma and a payment of $10.0 million upon receipt of the first regulatory approval for the commercial sale of COPIKTRA in the European Union for the treatment of peripheral T-cell lymphoma, (ii) sales milestone payments of up to $50.0 million, consisting of $10.0 million when total worldwide net sales of COPIKTRA exceed $100.0 million, $15.0 million when total worldwide net sales of COPIKTRA exceed $200.0 million and $25.0 million when total worldwide net sales of COPIKTRA exceed $300.0 million, (iii) low double-digit royalties on the annual aggregate net sales above $100.0 million in the United States, European Union, and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and (iv) 50% of all royalty, milestone and sublicense revenue payments payable to Secura under the Company’s existing license agreements with Sanofi, Yakult, and CSPC, and 50% of all royalty and milestone payments payable to Secura under any license or sublicense agreement entered into by Secura in certain jurisdictions. 

The Company evaluated the Secura APA in accordance with FASB ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”) as the Company concluded that the counterparty, Secura, is a customer. The Company identified a bundled performance obligation consisting of delivery of the duvelisib global license and intellectual property, certain existing duvelisib inventory, certain duvelisib contracts and clinical trials, certain regulatory approvals, and certain regulatory documentation and books and records (the “Bundled Secura Performance Obligation”).

The Company concluded that the duvelisib global license and intellectual property were not distinct within the context of the contract (i.e. separately identifiable) because the other assets including certain existing duvelisib inventory, certain duvelisib contracts and clinical trials, certain regulatory approval, and certain regulatory documentation and books and records do not have stand-alone value from other duvelisib global license and intellectual property and Secura could not benefit from them without the duvelisib global license and intellectual property. Consistent with the guidance under ASC 606-10-25-16A, the Company disregarded immaterial promised goods and services when determining performance obligations.

The Company has determined that the upfront payment of $70.0 million, future potential milestone payments and royalties including from Secura’s sublicensees should be allocated to the delivery of the Bundled Secura Performance Obligation.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, the Company has not recognized any revenue associated with the Secura APA. The Company determined all future potential milestones and royalties were excluded from the transaction price, as all other milestone amounts were fully constrained under the guidance as of June 30, 2025. As part of the Company’s evaluation of the constraint, the Company considered several factors in determining whether there is significant uncertainty associated with the future events that would result in the milestone payments. Those factors included: the likelihood and magnitude of revenue reversals related to future milestones, the amount of variable consideration that is highly susceptible to factors outside of the Company’s influence and the uncertainty about the consideration is not expected to be resolved for an extended period of time. All future potential milestone payments were fully constrained as the risk of significant revenue reversal related to these amounts has not yet been resolved.

19. Income taxes

The Company did not record a federal or state income tax provision or benefit for the six months ended June 30, 2025 or 2024, due to the expected loss before income taxes to be incurred for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, as well as the Company’s continued maintenance of a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets.

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act was signed into law in the U.S. It contains a broad range of tax reform provisions affecting businesses, including extending and modifying many provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Certain provisions will take effect beginning in 2026, while others apply retroactively to January 1, 2025. The Company is evaluating the full effects of the legislation on its estimated annual effective tax rate and cash tax position but expects that the legislation will likely not have a material impact on its financial statements.

20. Commitments and contingencies

The Company entered into a lease agreement for approximately 27,810 square feet of office space in Needham, Massachusetts. Please refer to Note 11. Leases for further details regarding the minimum aggregate future lease commitments as of June 30, 2025.

The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results and the timing of certain events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those discussed below and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. Please also refer to the sections under headings “Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.

OVERVIEW

We are a biopharmaceutical company committed to the development and commercialization of new medicines to improve the lives of patients diagnosed with RAS MAPK pathway-driven cancers. We market AVMAPKI™ FAKZYNJA™ CO-PACK (avutometinib capsules; defactinib tablets) in the United States. Our pipeline is focused on novel small molecule drugs that inhibit critical signaling pathways in cancer that promote cancer cell survival and tumor growth, including RAF/MEK inhibition, FAK inhibition and KRAS G12D inhibition.

On May 8, 2025, the FDA approved AVMAPKI FAKZYNJA CO-PACK for the treatment of adult patients with “KRAS mt” recurrent LGSOC who received prior systemic therapy. The KRAS mt recurrent LGSOC indication has been granted approval by the FDA under the accelerated approval pathway based on the tumor response rate and duration of response. Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in a confirmatory trial.

AVMAPKI (avutometinib) inhibits MEK kinase activity while also blocking the compensatory reactivation of MEK by upstream RAF. RAF and MEK proteins are regulators of the RAS/RAF/MEK/ extracellular-signal-regulated-kinase (“ERK”) MAPK pathway. Blocking RAF and/or MEK activates FAK, a key mediator of drug resistance. FAKZYNJA (defactinib) is a FAK inhibitor and together, the avutometinib and defactinib combination is designed to provide a more complete blockade of the signaling that drives the growth and drug resistance of RAS/MAPK pathway-dependent tumors. Avutometinib, alone or in combination with defactinib, has received orphan drug designation for the treatment of all patients with LGSOC in the United States. Defactinib has received orphan drug designation in ovarian cancer in the United States, the European Union, and Australia. In addition, the FDA granted orphan drug designation to avutometinib, in combination with defactinib, for the treatment of pancreatic cancer.

In the fourth quarter of 2020, we commenced a registration-directed trial investigating avutometinib in combination with defactinib for the treatment of patients with recurrent LGSOC entitled RAMP 201 study. We use the term “RAMP” to refer to our RAF and MEK Program. The RAMP 201 study is an adaptive two-part multicenter, parallel cohort, randomized, open label trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of avutometinib alone and in combination with defactinib in patients with recurrent LGSOC. The primary analysis from both the FRAME trial and RAMP 201 trial has been published.

In December 2023, we announced the initiation of a confirmatory Phase 3 trial to evaluate the combination of avutometinib and defactinib for the treatment of patients with recurrent LGSOC entitled RAMP 301. RAMP 301 is a randomized global confirmatory trial, which is evaluating the efficacy and safety of avutometinib and defactinib versus standard of care chemotherapy or hormonal therapy in patients with recurrent LGSOC with and without a KRAS mutation. RAMP 301 will serve as the confirmatory study required by the FDA for the combination of avutometinib and defactinib for the initial indication of recurrent KRAS mt LGSOC to potentially receive full approval and has the potential to support an expanded indication regardless of KRAS mutation status. RAMP 301 is a global study with enrollment open in the United States, Australia, Canada, Europe United Kingdom, New Zealand, Japan, and Korea. Enrollment is on track, and we are targeting full enrollment by the end of 2025.

On May 8, 2025, the FDA approved AVMAPKI FAKZYNJA CO-PACK in advance of its Prescription Drug User Fee Act or PDUFA action date. Following this approval, we submitted a letter to the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (“NCCN”) seeking inclusion of avutometinib plus defactinib combination therapy in its LGSOC treatment guidelines. NCCN included AVMAPKI FAKZYNJA CO-PACK in its LGSOC treatment guidelines consistent with the product’s approved indication. We submitted to NCCN the publications for RAMP 201 and FRAME in support of its consideration of the inclusion of the KRAS wild-type population evaluated in these trials in the NCCN Guidelines in July 2025. The NCCN Committee for Ovarian Cancer will holds its annual meeting in October 2025, and the Company has been informed that its submission will be reviewed at that time.

In October 2024, the Japanese Gynecologic Oncology Group dosed the first patient in a Phase 2 trial called RAMP 201J, evaluating the safety and efficacy of avutometinib in combination with defactinib in recurrent LGSOC in Japan. We expect to report initial data from RAMP 201J in Q4 2025.

In September 2021, we entered into a clinical collaboration agreement with Amgen, Inc. (“Amgen”) to evaluate the combination of avutometinib with Amgen’s KRAS G12C inhibitor LUMAKRAS® (sotorasib) in a Phase 1/2 study entitled RAMP 203. The Phase 1/2 trial began evaluating the safety, tolerability and efficacy of avutometinib in combination with LUMAKRAS in patients with KRAS G12C non-small cell lung cancer (“NSCLC”) who have not been previously treated with a KRAS G12C inhibitor, as well as in patients who have progressed on a KRAS G12C inhibitor. The trial built upon initial preclinical data showing enhanced anti-tumor efficacy with the combination of LUMAKRAS (KRAS G12C inhibition) and avutometinib (RAF/MEK inhibition) relative to either agent alone. In January 2024, the FDA granted fast track designation for combination of avutometinib and LUMAKRAS for the treatment of patients with KRAS G12C-mutant metastatic NSCLC who have received at least one prior systemic therapy and have not been previously treated with a KRAS G12C inhibitor. The RAMP 203 study has progressed to the recommended Phase 2 dose of 4 mg avutometinib in combination with 960 mg of LUMAKRAS for the doublet of avutometinib and LUMAKRAS. Enrollment of patients without prior G12C treatment and patients who have experienced disease progression on a KRAS G12C inhibitor in the doublet dose expansion phase has been completed. Patients in both doublet cohorts continue to be followed for safety and efficacy.

Based on emerging data demonstrating improved tumor regressions in KRAS G12C-mutant NSCLC preclinical models when a FAK inhibitor is combined with a G12C inhibitor and avutometinib, defactinib was added to the RAMP 203 study in new triplet cohorts in 2024. In December 2024, we announced three patients whose cancer previously progressed on a G12C inhibitor have been treated with the triplet combination of sotorasib 960 mg administered daily on a continuous schedule and avutometinib 3.2 mg twice-weekly plus defactinib 200 mg twice-daily. Avutometinib and defactinib are administered on a three out of four weeks schedule.​ There were no dose limiting toxicities observed in the first triplet combination cohort. Planned dose level evaluation cohorts for the triplet combination completed enrollment in first quarter of 2025. We expect to present an interim update of safety and efficacy from both the doublet and triplet data in the fourth quarter of 2025.

In May 2022, we received the first “Therapeutic Accelerator Award” from Pancreatic Cancer Network (“PanCAN”) for up to $3.8 million. The grant is supporting a Phase 1b/2 clinical trial of avutometinib in combination with defactinib entitled RAMP 205. RAMP 205 is evaluating the safety, tolerability and efficacy of avutometinib and defactinib in combination with GEMZAR^® (gemcitabine) and ABRAXANE^® (Nab-paclitaxel) in patients with previously untreated metastatic adenocarcinoma of the pancreas. The RAMP 205 trial is evaluating whether combining avutometinib (to target mutant KRAS which is mutated in more than 90% of pancreatic adenocarcinomas) and defactinib (to reduce stromal density and adaptive resistance to avutometinib) to the standard GEMZAR/ABRAXANE regimen improves outcomes for patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma. In August 2022, PanCAN agreed to provide us with an additional $0.5 million for the collection and translational analysis of patient samples. Combination dose evaluation is ongoing.

A dose level “0” has been added to the RAMP 205 study protocol that evaluates 3.2 mg of avutometinib twice a week, 200 mg of defactinib twice a day for three weeks out of every four weeks with 800 mg/m² of gemcitabine and 100 mg/m² of Nab-paclitaxel on a schedule of day 1, day 8, and day 15. All dose levels have been expanded to 12 patients each, including six additional patients recently enrolled to dose devel 1, where it was reported five out of six patients reported an objective response rate at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (“ASCO”) 2024 Annual Meeting. At

dose level 1, of the six additional patients, five remain on therapy and continue to be monitored for response given the initial length of time to response. We completed enrollment in quarter 1 of 2025. In May 2025, we announced as of April 25, 2025, 60 patients (12 per cohort) had been treated in one of five dose regimens with the combination of avutometinib and defactinib with gemcitabine and Nab-paclitaxel in frontline metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (“PDAC”). In the dose level 1 cohort, 12 patients received 2.4 mg of avutometinib twice a week, 200 mg of defactinib twice a day for 3 weeks out of every 4 and 800 mg/m2 of gemcitabine and 125 mg/m2 of Nab-paclitaxel on a schedule of day 1, day 8 and day 15. In dose level 1, 83% (10/12) of patients achieved partial responses (8 confirmed and 2 unconfirmed who remain on treatment). Given these results, we have selected dose level 1 as the recommended phase 2 dose, has met the pre-defined criteria to advance beyond the first stage of the expansion study, and is now enrolling up to 29 patients at this dose level. Adverse events across all dose cohorts remained generally consistent with the previously announced safety and tolerability profile, and no new safety signals have emerged.

Furthermore, avutometinib and defactinib are currently being investigated in combination with immunotherapeutic and other agents through investigator sponsored trials for the treatment of various solid tumors, including, but not limited to, colorectal cancer (“CRC”), gynecological cancer with MAPK pathway alterations, breast cancer, thyroid cancer and melanoma.

In August 2023, we entered into a collaboration and option agreement (the “GenFleet Agreement”) with GenFleet Therapeutics (Shanghai), Inc. (“GenFleet”) pursuant to which GenFleet granted us options to obtain exclusive development and commercialization rights worldwide outside of mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan for up to three oncology programs targeting RAS pathway driven cancers (the “GenFleet Options”). Under the GenFleet Agreement, we can exercise our GenFleet Options on a program-by-program basis. The collaboration builds on the strengths of both companies in oncology small molecule drug development, enabling us to partner our clinical development and regulatory expertise with GenFleet’s accomplished discovery capabilities. This synergistic collaboration includes our experience and established network of collaborators, including scientific and clinical experts in RAS biology and RAS pathway-driven cancers and GenFleet’s accomplishments with its KRAS G12C inhibitor program. In December 2023, we announced the selection of an oral and selective KRAS G12D (ON/OFF) inhibitor entitled VS-7375 (known as GFH375 in China) with a potential best-in-class profile as the lead program from our collaboration with GenFleet. An investigational new drug (“IND”) application by GenFleet in China for VS-7375 was cleared in June 2024. In July 2024, GenFleet began dosing several patients in a Phase 1/2 trial in China that is evaluating VS-7375 in patients with KRAS G12D-mutated advanced solid tumors. The Phase 1/2 study is being conducted in approximately 20 hospitals in China. The Phase 1 study was used to determine the recommended Phase 2 dose, and the Phase 2 study will further evaluate the efficacy and safety of VS-7375 in patients with advanced solid tumors, such as PDAC, CRC, and NSCLC.

On January 14, 2025, we announced the early exercise of the GenFleet Option with respect to VS-7375. We filed an IND application in the United States for VS-7375 during the first quarter of 2025. In April 2025 we announced the FDA clearance of the IND, and in June 2025 we announced we dosed our first patient with VS-7375 in our U.S. Phase 1/2a clinical trial evaluating VS-7375 in patients with advanced KRAS G12D solid tumors. We expect to report a preliminary update on the Phase 1 monotherapy dose escalation in Q4 2025. Subject to the results of the Phase 1 monotherapy dose escalation, the Company plans to initiate monotherapy expansion cohorts in both advanced PDAC and NSCLC. Additionally, we expect to initiate the dose escalation cohorts in combination with cetuximab, chemotherapy, and chemotherapy with checkpoint-inhibitor for CRC, PDAC, and NSCLC, respectively, in Q4 2025. Subject to the results of the Phase 1 dose escalation combinations cohorts with VS-7375, the Company plans to initiate a combination expansion cohort in CRC, PDAC, and NSCLC. Verastem and GenFleet shared preclinical data at American Association for Cancer Research meeting in April 2025.

At the ASCO 2025 Annual Meeting, GenFleet announced updated data from the dose escalation phase of the Phase 1/2 trial of GFH375 (known as VS-7375 in the U.S.). GenFleet reported that 62 patients were enrolled in the Phase 1 portion of the study in China, receiving oral doses ranging from 100 to 900 mg daily. In the study, 98% of patients had metastatic disease, and 75% had received ≥2 prior lines of therapy. As of the data cutoff of May 16, 2025, 23 efficacy-evaluable patients with PDAC and 12 efficacy-evaluable patients with NSCLC, who received daily dosages of 400 or 600 mg and had at least one post-treatment tumor assessment, achieved an objective response rate (“ORR”) of 52% and a disease control rate (DCR) of 100%, and an ORR of 42% and a DCR of 83%, respectively. As of the cutoff date

of March 31, 2025, GenFleet reported that there were no dose-limiting toxicities observed across all dose levels (100-900 mg QD), and the treatment-related adverse events (“TRAEs”) were mostly Grade 1/2. The most common TRAEs occurring in at least 20% of patients were diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and anemia. TRAEs ≥ Grade 3 consisted mainly of decreased neutrophil count (8%) and diarrhea (5%). No TRAE-related deaths were reported.

Our operations to date have been focused on organizing and staffing our company, business planning, raising capital, identifying and acquiring potential product candidates, undertaking preclinical studies and clinical trials for our product candidates and initiating U.S. commercial operations following the approval of COPIKTRA through our ownership period ending in September 2020 and in anticipation of the approval of AVMAPKI FAKZYNJA CO-PACK. We have financed our operations to date primarily through public and private offerings of our common stock, pre-funded warrants, and warrants, offerings of convertible notes, sales of common stock under our at-the-market equity offering program, our loan and security agreement executed with Hercules in March 2017, as amended, the Loan Agreement with Oxford, our Note Purchase Agreement, the upfront payments and milestone payments under our license and collaboration agreements with Sanofi, CSPC, and Yakult, the upfront payment and milestone payments received under the Secura APA, and sales of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. Additionally, from our U.S. commercial launch of COPIKTRA on September 24, 2018, through our ownership period ending in September 2020, we financed a portion of our operations through product revenue. From our U.S. commercial launch of AVMAPKI FAKZYNJA CO-PACK on May 8^th, 2025, we are financing a portion of our operations through product revenue.

As of June 30, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $1,033.6 million. Our net loss was $25.9 million, $78.0 million, $8.3 million and $42.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. As of June 30, 2025, we had cash, cash equivalents, and investments of $164.3 million. In accordance with applicable accounting standards, we evaluated whether there are conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within 12 months after the date of the issuance of the consolidated financial statements. We anticipate operating losses may continue for the foreseeable future and we continue to incur operating costs to execute our strategic plan, including costs related to research and development of our product candidates and commercial activities. As a result of the assessment in accordance with the applicable accounting standards, these conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for 12 months after the date the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.

We expect to finance our operations with our existing cash, cash equivalents and investments, through potential future milestones and royalties received pursuant to the Secura APA, through the Note Purchase Agreement, through future product revenues or through other strategic financing opportunities that could include, but are not limited to collaboration agreements, offerings of our equity, or the incurrence of debt. However, given the risks associated with these potential strategic or financing opportunities, they are not deemed probable for purposes of the going concern assessment. If we fail to obtain additional capital or generate sufficient revenue from our commercialization activities in the future, we may be unable to complete our planned preclinical studies and clinical trials and obtain approval of certain investigational product candidates from the FDA or foreign regulatory authorities. Therefore, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND SIGNIFICANT JUDGMENTS AND ESTIMATES

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of certain assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in our financial statements, and the amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods.

We believe that several accounting policies are important to understanding our historical and future performance. We refer to these policies as “critical” because these specific areas generally require us to make judgments

42

Table of Contents

and estimates about matters that are uncertain at the time we make the estimate, and different estimates—which also would have been reasonable—could have been used, which would have resulted in different financial results.

The critical accounting policies we identified in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, related to revenue recognition, collaborative agreements, accrued and prepaid research and development expenses, and stock-based compensation. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, there were no material changes to our critical accounting policies.

Product Revenue, Net. We began commercial sales of AVMAPKI FAKZYNJA CO-PACK within the United States in May 2025, following receipt of FDA marketing approval on May 8, 2025. For the three months ended June 30, 2025 (the “2025 Quarter”) we recorded approximately $2.1 million of net product revenue. We had no product revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2024 (the “2024 Quarter”).

Sale of COPIKTRA license and related assets revenue. Sale of COPIKTRA license and related assets revenue for the 2025 Quarter was $0.0 million compared to $10.0 million for the 2024 Quarter. Sale of COPIKTRA license and related assets revenue for the 2024 Quarter was comprised of one sales milestone payment of $10.0 million due to Secura achieving cumulative worldwide net sales of COPIKTRA exceeding $100.0 million during the 2024 Quarter. We received the $10.0 million milestone payment in July 2024.

Costs of sales – product. Costs of sales – product for the 2025 Quarter of approximately $0.3 million consisted of costs associated with the manufacturing of AVMAPKI FAKZYNJA CO-PACK, royalties owed to Chugai, Pfizer, and the Institute for Cancer Research (“ICR”) on such sales, and certain period costs. The Company began capitalizing inventory upon receiving FDA approval for AVMAPKI FAKZYNJA CO-PACK on May 8, 2025. Prior to the FDA approval of AVMAPKI FAKZYNJA CO-PACK, expenses associated with the manufacturing of AVMAPKI FAKZYNJA CO-PACK were recorded as research and development expense. Certain of the costs of AVMAPKI FAKZYNJA CO-PACK units recognized as revenue during the 2025 Quarter, or less than $0.1 million, were expensed prior to obtaining regulatory approval, therefore, are not included in cost of sales- product during this period. We expect cost of sales - product to increase in relation to product revenues as we deplete these inventories. We had no cost of sales – product during the 2024 Quarter.

Costs of sales –intangible amortization. Cost of sales – intangible amortization for the 2025 Quarter of approximately $0.1 million was related to finite-lived intangible assets related to AVMAPKI FAKZYNJA CO-PACK which we recognized and began amortizing in the 2025 Quarter. There was no cost of sales – intangible amortization the 2024 Quarter.

Research and development expense. Research and development expense for the 2025 Quarter was $24.8 million compared to $18.1 million for the 2024 Quarter. The $6.7 million increase from the 2024 Quarter to the 2025 Quarter was primarily driven by an increase of $2.4 million in contract research organization (“CRO”) costs, an increase of $2.0 million in investigator fees, an increase of $1.5 million in personnel costs, including non-cash stock compensation, and an increase of $0.8 million in clinical supply costs.

Research and development expenses consist of costs associated with our research activities, including the development of our product candidates. Research and development expenses include product/ product candidate and/or project-specific costs, as well as unallocated costs. We record expenses related to external research and development services, such as CROs, clinical sites, pass-through fees such as investigator fees, manufacturing organizations and consultants, by project and/or product candidate. We use our employee and infrastructure resources in a cross-functional manner across multiple research and development projects. Our project costing methodology does not allocate personnel, infrastructure and other indirect costs to specific clinical programs or projects.

Product/ product candidate/ project specific costs include:

● direct third-party costs, which include expenses incurred under agreements with CROs, the cost of consultants who assist with the development of our product candidates on a program-specific basis, clinical site costs, and any other third-party expenses directly attributable to the development of the product candidates;

● direct costs related to avutometinib or defactinib that are not specific to a clinical trial such as the costs relating to contract manufacturing operations including manufacturing costs in connection with producing avutometinib and defactinib are included within “Avutometinib and defactinib manufacturing and non-clinical trial specific” as the cost to manufacture avutometinib and defactinib is not allocated to specific clinical trials; and

● license fees.

Unallocated costs include:

● research and development employee-related expenses, including salaries, benefits, travel, and stock-based compensation expense;

● cost of consultants, including our scientific advisory board, who assist with our research and development but are not allocated to a specific program; and

● facilities, depreciation, and other allocated expenses, which include direct and allocated expenses for rent and maintenance of facilities, and laboratory supplies.

​

The $4.1 million increase in avutometinib + defactinib – LGSOC was primarily driven by an increase in RAMP 301 trial costs as the trial continues to advance and enroll more patients. The $0.6 million decrease in avutometinib + defactinib – NSCLC was primarily driven by a decrease in RAMP 202 trial costs. The $1.7 million decrease in avutometinib and defactinib manufacturing and non-clinical trial specific expenses was driven by a reduction in manufacturing and study activities, as well as safety consulting services. The $2.4 million increase in GenFleet related expenses was primarily driven by drug product costs for the 7375-101 study.

Selling, general and administrative expense. Selling, general and administrative expense for the 2025 Quarter was $20.7 million compared to $10.2 million for the 2024 Quarter. The increase of $10.5 million from the 2024 Quarter to the 2025 Quarter primarily resulted from the increase of $8.1 million of consulting and professional fees related to the launch of avutometinib and defactinib in KRAS mt LGSOC, an increase of $2.7 million in personnel costs including non-cash based stock compensation, an increase of $1.0 million in travel and other costs, partially offset by a decrease of $1.3 million in commercial operations expenses.

Other expense. Other expense for the 2025 Quarter and 2024 Quarter was less than $0.1 million. Other expense for the 2025 Quarter and 2024 Quarter was comprised of transaction losses due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

Interest income. Interest income for the 2025 Quarter was $0.8 million compared to $1.0 million for the 2024 Quarter. The decrease of $0.2 million from the 2024 Quarter to the 2025 Quarter in interest income was primarily due to the decrease in investment balances on short term investments and cash equivalents and a decrease in interest rates on securities during each respective quarter.

Interest expense. Interest expense for the 2025 Quarter was $0.2 million compared to $1.1 million for the 2024 Quarter. The $0.9 million decrease from the 2024 Quarter was primarily driven by termination of the Loan Agreement with Oxford on January 13, 2025 resulting in a reduction of interest expense recorded in the 2025 Quarter. The Company has elected to record interest expense associated with the Notes within change in fair value of Notes on the condensed statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Change in fair value of preferred stock tranche liability. The change in fair value of the preferred stock tranche liability was $0.0 million for the 2025 Quarter compared to $10.2 million income for the 2024 Quarter. The change in fair value of preferred stock tranche liability was comprised of the mark-to-market adjustment related to the second tranche right issued as part of the Securities Purchase Agreement. The preferred stock tranche liability expired in July 2024 and therefore was not outstanding during the 2025 Quarter. The fair value of the preferred stock tranche liability

Table of Contents

decreased from $10.2 million at the beginning of the 2024 Quarter to $0.0 million at the end of the 2024 Quarter resulting in $10.2 million income in the 2024 Quarter.

Change in fair value of warrant liability. The change in fair value of the warrant liability of $20.3 million for the 2025 Quarter was comprised of the mark-to-market adjustment for the liability classified warrants issued as part of the July 2024 Offering. The liability classified warrants decreased in value from December 31, 2024 as a result of the exercise of 2,787,499 Warrants during the quarter and a decrease in warrant valuation due to a lower stock price. There was no warrant liability outstanding during the 2024 Quarter.

Change in fair value of Notes. We elected the fair value option for the Notes and therefore the changes in fair value, including interest, other than changes that are directly attributable to instrument specific credit risk are recorded as change in fair of Notes in the condensed statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The change in fair value for the 2025 Quarter of $3.0 million was primarily driven by interest on the Notes and a reduction in the risk-free rate during the 2025 Quarter. There were no Notes outstanding in the 2024 Quarter.

Product Revenue, Net. We began commercial sales of AVMAPKI FAKZYNJA CO-PACK within the United States in May 2025, following receipt of FDA marketing approval on May 8, 2025. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 (the “2025 Period”) we recorded approximately $2.1 million of net product revenue. We had no product revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2024 (the “2024 Period”).

Sale of COPIKTRA license and related assets revenue. Sale of COPIKTRA license and related assets revenue for the 2025 Period was $0.0 million compared to $10.0 million for the 2024 Period. Sale of COPIKTRA license and related assets revenue for the 2024 Period was comprised of one sales milestone payment of $10.0 million due to Secura achieving cumulative worldwide net sales of COPIKTRA exceeding $100.0 million during the 2024 Quarter. We received the $10.0 million milestone payment in July 2024.

Costs of sales – product. Costs of sales – product for the 2025 Period of approximately $0.3 million consisted of costs associated with the manufacturing of AVMAPKI FAKZYNJA CO-PACK, royalties owed to Chugai, Pfizer, and ICR on such sales, and certain period costs. We began capitalizing inventory upon receiving FDA approval for AVMAPKI FAKZYNJA CO-PACK on May 8, 2025. Prior to the FDA approval of AVMAPKI FAKZYNJA CO-PACK, expenses associated with the manufacturing of AVMAPKI FAKZYNJA CO-PACK were recorded as research and development expense. Certain of the costs of AVMAPKI FAKZYNJA CO-PACK units recognized as revenue during the 2025 Period, or less than $0.1 million, were expensed prior to obtaining regulatory approval, therefore, are not included in cost of sales - product during this period. We expect cost of sales - product to increase in relation to product revenues as we deplete these inventories. We had no cost of sales – product during the 2024 Period.

Costs of sales –intangible amortization. Cost of sales – intangible amortization for the 2025 Period of approximately $0.1 million was related to finite-lived intangible assets related to AVMAPKI FAKZYNJA CO-PACK which we recognized and began amortizing in the 2025 Period. There was no cost of sales – intangible amortization the 2024 Period.

Research and development expense. Research and development expense for the Period was $53.9 million compared to $35.8 million for the 2024 Period. The $18.2 million increase in R&D expense from the 2024 period to the

47

Table of Contents

2025 period was primarily driven by a $6.0 million GenFleet option payment related to VS-7375, a $4.7 million increase in CRO costs, a $2.5 million increase in investigator fees, a $2.3 million increase in personnel costs including non-cash stock compensation, a $2.1 million increase in drug substance and drug product manufacturing costs, and a $0.9 million increase in clinical supply costs. These increases were partially offset by a $0.3 million decrease in investigator-sponsored trial (“IST”) expenses.

The table below summarizes our direct research and development expenses for our product/ product candidates/ projects and our unallocated research and development costs for the 2025 Period and the 2024 Period.

​

The $8.2 million increase in avutometinib + defactinib – LGSOC is primarily driven by an increase in RAMP 301 trial costs as the trial continues to advance and enroll more patients. The $1.9 million decrease in avutometinib + defactinib – NSCLC is primarily driven by a decrease in RAMP 202 trial costs. The $1.3 million increase in avutometinib + defactinib – pancreatic cancer is primarily driven by fully utilizing the PanCAN Grant in the second quarter of 2024 and therefore there was no offsetting reduction in expense in the 2025 Period. The $2.7 million decrease in avutometinib and defactinib manufacturing and non-clinical trial specific expenses was driven by a reduction in study activities and safety consulting services. The $9.8 million increase in GenFleet related expenses was primarily driven by the $6.0 million GenFleet Option payment with respect to VS-7375.

Selling, general and administrative expense. Selling, general and administrative expense for the 2025 Period was $35.7 million compared to $20.6 million for the 2024 Period. The increase of $15.1 million from the 2024 Period to the 2025 Period was primarily driven by an $11.7 million increase in consulting and professional fees, a $3.7 million increase in personnel costs including non-cash stock-based compensation, a $1.1 million financing cost fee related to the Note Purchase Agreement and the 2025 Private Placement, and a $1.1 million increase in travel, conference, and other expenses. These increases were partially offset by a $2.5 million decrease in commercial operations expenses.

Other expense. Other expense for the 2025 Period and the 2024 Period was less than $0.1 million. Other expense for the 2025 Period and 2024 Period was comprised of transaction losses due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

Interest income. Interest income for the 2025 Period was $1.8 million compared to $2.4 million for the 2024 Period. The decrease of $0.6 million from the 2024 Period to the 2025 Period in interest income was primarily due to the decrease in investment balances on short term investments and cash equivalents and a decrease in interest rates on securities during each respective quarter.

Interest expense. Interest expense for the 2025 Period was $0.4 million compared to $2.3 million for the 2024 Period. The decrease of $1.9 million from the 2024 Period was primarily driven by termination of the Loan Agreement with Oxford on January 13, 2025 resulting in a reduction of interest expense recorded in the 2025 Period. The Company

has elected to record interest expense associated with the Notes within change in fair value of Notes on the condensed statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Loss on debt extinguishment. The loss on debt extinguishment for the 2025 Period of $1.8 million represents the loss recognized on early extinguishment of our Loan Agreement. On January 13, 2025, we repaid in full all principal, accrued and unpaid interest, fees, and expenses under the Loan Agreement in an aggregate amount of $42.7 million (the Payoff Amount). The Payoff Amount, excluding accrued interest, exceeded the carrying amount of the Term Loans on January 13, 2025 by $1.8 million which was recorded as a loss on debt extinguishment. There was no loss on debt extinguishment in the 2024 Period.

Change in fair value of preferred stock tranche liability. The change in fair value of the preferred stock tranche liability was $4.2 million income for the 2024 Period. The change in fair value of preferred stock tranche liability was comprised of the mark-to-market adjustment related to the second tranche right issued as part of the Securities Purchase Agreement. The preferred stock tranche liability expired in July 2024 and therefore was not outstanding during the 2025 Period. The fair value of the preferred stock tranche liability decreased from $4.2 million at the beginning of the 2024 Period to $0.0 million at the end of the 2024 Period resulting in $4.2 million income in the 2024 Period.

Change in fair value of warrant liability. The change in fair value of the warrant liability of $17.9 million for the 2025 Period was comprised of the mark-to-market adjustment for the liability classified warrants issued as part of the July 2024 Offering. The liability classified warrants decreased in value from December 31, 2024 as a result of the exercise of 2,787,499 Warrants during the period and a decrease in warrant valuation due to a lower stock price. There was no warrant liability outstanding during the 2024 Period.

Change in fair value of Notes. We elected the fair value option for the Notes and therefore the changes in fair value, including interest, other than changes that are directly attributable to instrument specific credit risk are recorded as change in fair of Notes in the condensed statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The change in fair value for the 2025 Period of $7.4 million was primarily driven by interest on the Notes and a reduction in the risk-free rate during the 2025 Period. There were no Notes outstanding in the 2024 Period.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Sources of liquidity

We have financed our operations to date primarily through public and private offerings of our common stock, pre-funded warrants, and warrants, offerings of convertible notes, sales of common stock under our at-the-market equity offering program, our loan and security agreement executed with Hercules in March 2017, as amended, the Loan Agreement with Oxford, our Note Purchase Agreement, the upfront payments and milestone payments under our license and collaboration agreements with Sanofi, CSPC, and Yakult, the upfront payment and milestone payments received under the Secura APA, and sales of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. Additionally, from our U.S. commercial launch of COPIKTRA on September 24, 2018, through our ownership period ending in September 2020, we financed a portion of our operations through product revenue. As of September 30, 2020, we have sold our COPIKTRA license and no longer sell COPIKTRA in the United States. We expect to finance a portion of our business through future potential milestones and royalties received pursuant to the Secura APA.

As of June 30, 2025, we had $164.3 million of cash, cash equivalents, and investments. We primarily invest our cash, cash equivalents and investments in U.S. Government money market funds, U.S. government agency bonds, corporate bonds and commercial paper of publicly traded companies.

Risks and uncertainties include those identified under Item 1A. Risk Factors, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 as filed with the SEC on March 20, 2025, and under “Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Cash flows

The following table sets forth the primary sources and uses of cash for the 2025 Period and the 2024 Period (in thousands):

​	​	​	​	​	​	​	​
​	​	Six months ended June 30,
​	​	2025		​	2024
Net cash (used in) provided by:		​			​	​	​
Operating activities	​	$	(71,339)	​	$	(55,877)	​
Investing activities	​		—	​		59,972	​
Financing activities	​		146,843	​		441	​
Increase in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	​	$	75,504	​	$	4,536	​

Operating activities. The use of cash in both periods resulted primarily from our net losses adjusted for non-cash charges and changes in the components of working capital. Our cash outflow from net losses adjusted for non-cash charges and adjustments was $84.2 million and $43.4 million for the 2025 Period and the 2024 Period, respectively. Non-cash charges and adjustments for the 2025 Period were primarily related to the change in fair value of warrant liability, non-cash changes in fair value of the Notes, loss on debt extinguishment and stock-based compensation expense. Non-cash charges and adjustments for the 2024 Period were primarily related to a change in fair value of preferred stock tranche liability and stock-based compensation expense. Our cash inflow from operating activities due to changes in operating assets and liabilities was $12.9 million for the 2025 Period. Our cash outflow from operating activities due to changes in operating assets and liabilities was $12.5 million for the 2024 Period. Cash inflow due to changes in operating assets and liabilities for the 2025 Period was primarily driven by an increase of $6.6 million in accrued expenses and other liabilities, an increase of $6.3 million in accrued expenses, long term, and an increase of $4.0 million in accounts payable, offset by an increase of $2.1 million in accounts receivable, an increase of $1.2 million in inventory, and an increase of $0.8 million in prepaid expenses, other current assets and other assets. Cash outflow due to changes in operating assets and liabilities for the 2024 Period was primarily driven by an increase of $10.0 million of accounts receivable, $0.8 million of grant receivable, a decrease of $0.7 million of accrued expenses and other liabilities, a decrease of $0.5 million of accounts payable, and a decrease of $0.3 million of deferred liabilities. The increases in both periods in prepaid expenses, other current assets, and other asserts is exclusive of cash received from PanCAN and

Table of Contents

used on the RAMP 205 study. Cash used in operating activities was $71.3 million and $55.9 million for the 2025 Period and the 2024 Period, respectively.

Investing activities. There was no cash used in investing activities for the 2025 Period. The cash provided by investing activities for the 2024 Period relates to maturities of investments of $60.0 million, partially offset by a purchase of property and equipment of less than $0.1 million.

Financing activities. The cash provided by financing activities for the 2025 Period represents $75.0 million of proceeds received pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement, approximately $69.9 million of proceeds received from our 2025 Private Placement, $22.7 million of proceeds received pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, $13.8 million of proceeds from the exercise of Warrants, $1.2 million of proceeds received from insurance premium financing, and less than $0.1 million of proceeds received related to our employee stock purchase plan, partially offset by the $42.6 million repayment of our Loan Agreement, and $0.7 million of payments for insurance premium financing. The cash provided by financing activities for the 2024 Period represents $1.3 million of proceeds received from insurance premium financing and $0.2 million of proceeds received from exercise of stock options and our employee stock purchase plan, partially offset by $0.8 million of payments on insurance premium financing, $0.2 million of payments of deferred issuance costs, and $0.2 million of fees paid to the Lenders to amend our Loan Agreement with Oxford. Refer to Note 10. Debt to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this quarterly report for additional details on the Note Purchase Agreement and Loan Agreement; Note 15. Capital Stock to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this quarterly report for additional details on the 2025 Private Placement, the Note Purchase Agreement, and the Warrants; Note 12. Notes Payable to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this quarterly report for additional details on the finance agreement with First Insurance related to insurance premium financing and the monthly payments of principal and interest related thereto.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND COMMITMENTS

The disclosure of our contractual obligations and commitments was reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. Except as previously disclosed in the Company’s subsequent filings with the SEC, including this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there have not been any material changes from the contractual obligations and commitments previously disclosed in such report.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

We are exposed to market risk related to changes in interest rates. We had cash, cash equivalents and investments of $164.3 million as of June 30, 2025, consisting of cash and U.S. Government money market funds. Our primary exposure to market risk is interest rate sensitivity, which is affected by changes in the general level of U.S. interest rates, particularly because most of our investments are interest bearing. Our available for sale securities are subject to interest rate risk and will fall in value if market interest rates increase. Due to the short-term duration of most of our investment portfolio and the low risk profile of our investments, an immediate 100 basis point change in interest rates would not have a material effect on the fair market value of our portfolio.

We contract with CROs and contract manufacturers globally which may be denominated in foreign currencies. We may be subject to fluctuations in foreign currency rates in connection with these agreements. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are recorded based on exchange rates at the time such transactions arise. As of June 30, 2025, an immaterial amount of our total liabilities was denominated in currencies other than the functional currency.

As of June 30, 2025, we have borrowed $75.0 million under the Note Purchase Agreement. The Notes under the Note Purchase Agreement bear interest at a floating rate equal to the sum of (i) the greater of the Term SOFR (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement) and 4.29%, and (ii) 3.71%, which is subject to an overall floor and cap. Changes in interest rates can cause interest charges to fluctuate under the Note Purchase Agreement. A 10% increase in current interest rates would have resulted in an immaterial increase in the amount of cash interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 due to the overall interest rate floor and cap.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

​

Our management, with the participation of our President and Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and our Chief Financial Officer (principal financial and accounting officer), evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2025. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2025, our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting

​

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended June 30, 2025, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

None.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

You should carefully review and consider the information regarding certain factors that could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results set forth under Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 as filed with the SEC on March 20, 2025 and as set forth below.

Current and future health care reforms may increase the difficulty and cost for us to obtain marketing approval of and commercialize our product candidates and affect the prices we may obtain.

​

In the United States and some foreign jurisdictions, there have been, and we expect there will continue to be, a number of legislative and regulatory changes and proposed changes regarding the healthcare system that could, among other things, prevent or delay marketing approval of our product candidates, restrict or regulate post approval activities, and affect our ability to profitably sell any of our product candidates for which we obtain marketing approval.

Other healthcare reform efforts or actions under the Trump Administration may affect access to healthcare coverage or the funding of health care benefits, although the full impact of such efforts or actions cannot be predicted. For example, Congressional Budget Office has estimated that Medicaid provisions in the budget reconciliation legislation known as the “Big Beautiful Bill”, including restrictions in eligibility and funding for Medicaid, as well as changes to the healthcare marketplace, will increase the number of uninsured by $16 million by 2034. The nature and extent of future healthcare reforms cannot be predicted. There is significant uncertainty regarding the nature or impact of any drug pricing or broader healthcare reform implemented by the Trump Administration through executive action or by the U.S. Congress and the extent to which such action may be subject to litigation or other challenges. Further, a number of states have enacted state drug price transparency and reporting laws that could substantially increase our compliance burdens and expose us to greater liability under such state laws if and when we have marketed products. As a

52

Table of Contents

result, there are no assurances that these and other health reform measures that are implemented will not have a material adverse effect on our operations. 

​

Recently, there has been considerable public and government scrutiny of pharmaceutical pricing and proposals to address the perceived high cost of pharmaceuticals. There have also been efforts at the federal level to implement measures to regulate drug pricing or payment for pharmaceutical products, including legislation on drug importation. Individual states in the United States have also become increasingly active in passing legislation and implementing regulations designed to control pharmaceutical product pricing, including price constraints, restrictions on copayment assistance by pharmaceutical manufacturers, marketing cost disclosure and transparency measures, and, in some cases, measures designed to encourage importation from other countries and bulk purchasing. We expect continued scrutiny on drug pricing and government price reporting from the U.S. Congress, agencies, and other bodies.

​

We cannot be sure whether additional legislative changes will be enacted, or whether the regulations, guidance or interpretations will be changed, or what the impact of such changes on the marketing approvals of our product candidates may be. In addition, increased scrutiny by the U.S. Congress of the FDA’s approval process may significantly delay or prevent marketing approval, as well as subject us to more stringent product labeling and post marketing testing and other requirements.

The U.S. Supreme Court’s June 2024 decision in Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo overturned the longstanding Chevron doctrine, under which courts were required to give deference to regulatory agencies’ reasonable interpretations of ambiguous federal statutes. The Loper decision could result in additional legal challenges to regulations and guidance issued by federal agencies, including the FDA, on which we rely. Any such legal challenges, if successful, could have a material impact on our business. Additionally, the Loper decision may result in increased regulatory uncertainty, inconsistent judicial interpretations, and other impacts to the agency rulemaking process, any of which could adversely impact our business and operations. We cannot predict the likelihood, nature or extent of government regulation that may arise from future legislation or administrative action or as a result of legal challenges, either in the United States or abroad. If we are slow or unable to adapt to changes in existing requirements or the adoption of new requirements or policies, or if we are not able to maintain regulatory compliance, our business could be materially harmed.

We continue to evaluate federal and state health care reform efforts and the effect that such efforts may have on our business. Healthcare reform measures that may be adopted in the future could have a material adverse effect on our industry generally and on our ability to successfully commercialize any product candidates, if and when approved.

Due to the recent change in presidential administration, we face uncertainty regarding potential regulatory developments that may adversely affect our business.

We face uncertainty regarding the potential for changes in the regulatory environment following the change in presidential administration in January 2025. While many of the Trump Administration’s proposed policies appear to be focused on deregulation, the new administration and federal government could adopt legislation, regulation, or policy that adversely affects our business or creates a more challenging and costly environment to pursue the development and commercialization of our current or future product candidates. For example, the federal government, including the FDA, may implement legislative, regulatory, or policy changes regarding the standards for approving drugs that we may be unable to satisfy or regarding the marketing of approved drugs that may limit or prohibit the advertising and promotion of our current or future product candidates, if approved. Further, the current presidential administration has substantially reduced the FDA’s workforce and may make further reductions, which may lead to disruptions and delays in the FDA’s review and oversight of our product candidates and impact the FDA’s ability to provide timely feedback on our development programs. Although it has been reported that there have not been reductions in workforce in the review or inspection divisions, any such reductions could extend review timelines, delay or prevent pre-approval inspections, and limit opportunities for FDA feedback on pending applications. It is difficult to predict how executive actions that may be taken under the current Trump Administration may affect the FDA’s ability to exercise its regulatory authority. If such executive actions impose constraints on the FDA’s ability to engage in routine oversight and product review activities in the normal course, our business may be negatively impacted.

If we fail to comply with our reporting and payment obligations under the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program or other governmental pricing programs in the U.S., we could be subject to additional reimbursement requirements, penalties, sanctions and fines which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects.

With the approval of AVMAPKI FAKZYNJA CO-PACK, we now participate in the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program and a number of other federal and state government pricing programs in the U.S. in order to obtain coverage for the product by certain government healthcare programs. These programs generally require us to pay rebates or provide discounts to certain private purchasers or government payors in connection with our products when dispensed to beneficiaries of these programs. In some cases, such as the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program, the rebates are based on pricing and rebate calculations that we report on a monthly and quarterly basis to the government agencies that administer the programs. The terms, scope and complexity of these government pricing programs change frequently. We may also have reimbursement obligations or be subject to penalties if we fail to provide timely and accurate information to the government, pay the correct rebates or offer the correct discounted pricing. Changes to the price reporting or rebate requirements of these programs would affect our obligations to pay rebates or offer discounts. Responding to current and future changes may increase our costs and the complexity of compliance will be time-consuming, and could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
