It is about 32 months out. Operating cash flow is positive on average, so the date is not a financing deadline.

Interventional studies where this company is the lead sponsor, from ClinicalTrials.gov. Primary completion is when the last patient is measured on the primary endpoint, which is when the data exists rather than when it is announced. Extension, rollover and healthy-volunteer studies are listed but marked as non-catalysts, because they finish long after the result that mattered. Sponsors revise these dates as enrollment moves, so an estimate is a plan rather than a promise.

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.

Self-funding on an operating basis

Operating cash flow was positive on average over the last four quarters, so runway is not the constraint. Cash and investments stood at $34.4M at Q2 '26.

Cash position down $134M since Q4 '24

No meaningful financing inflows over the last four quarters, so the change is essentially operating burn. The balance is the number the board watches; the trend is the number the auditors watch.

R&D is 82% of operating expenses

$21.5M of R&D against $26.1M of total operating expenses in Q2 '26, with G&A at $4.6M. 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.

Stockholders' deficit of $300M

Liabilities exceed assets on the balance sheet. That is common with royalty financings, convertible debt, or large deferred revenue balances, and it is a fact auditors and exchange listing rules both pay attention to.

Retained earnings of $341M

Cumulative profits exceed cumulative losses, which puts this company in a different accounting conversation from most of the neighborhood.
