The controller’s read
What the filings say.
Generated from the numbers above using the same questions I ask when I open a client’s books: how long the cash lasts, what is driving the gap between loss and burn, and where the accounting judgment sits.

Cash and investments of $219M at Q2 '26 against an average operating cash burn of $38.0M per quarter over the last four reported quarters runs out around November 2027. Between one and two years is the window where the next raise gets planned; the terms depend on what the data does before the cash does.
Cash position down $263M since Q3 '24
Net financing outflows of $11.0M over the last four quarters, meaning repayments or buybacks exceeded any new capital. The balance is the number the board watches; the trend is the number the auditors watch.
R&D is 80% of operating expenses
$28.1M of R&D against $35.1M of total operating expenses in Q2 '26, with G&A at $6.9M. For a clinical-stage company, the accounting questions live inside that R&D line: CRO and CMC accruals, milestone recognition, and what gets capitalized versus expensed under ASC 730.
Accumulated deficit of $601M
Total losses since inception. It is also roughly the size of the net operating loss carryforward the tax provision has to track, subject to Section 382 limits after each ownership change.
