ITEM 1A. Risk Factors

Risk factors that could cause actual results to differ from our expectations and that could negatively impact our financial condition and results of operations are discussed below and elsewhere in this Annual Report. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that are currently not believed to be significant to our business may also affect our actual results and could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. If any of the risks or uncertainties described below or any additional risks and uncertainties actually occur, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.

Risks Relating to Our Business

We have not yet commercialized a pharmaceutical product, and we may never generate revenue or profit.

We are a clinical-stage biotechnology company that commenced activities in January 2012. We have not yet commercialized a pharmaceutical product, and our commercial business plan has not been tested. Since inception, we have had no revenue and have incurred significant operating losses. We have financed our operations primarily through private placements and registered offerings of our equity securities, unsecured convertible notes, and borrowings under loan agreements. To generate revenue and become and remain profitable, we need to successfully complete our existing clinical trials and develop, obtain regulatory approval for, and commercialize gedatolisib pursuant to our license agreement with Pfizer. To generate revenue and become and remain profitable, we need to successfully complete our existing clinical trials, cultivate partnerships with pharmaceutical companies, and develop and commercialize gedatolisib pursuant to our license agreement with Pfizer. We must also build operational and financial infrastructure to support commercial operations, train and manage employees, and market and sell our anticipated drug product, if approved. We must also build operational and financial infrastructure to support commercial operations, train and manage employees, and market and sell our anticipated drug products and/or our CELsignia tests (as a companion diagnostic and/or as a stand-alone test).

We may never succeed in any of these activities and, even if we do, we may never generate revenue that is sufficient to achieve profitability. We expect to continue to incur significant expenses and operating losses for the foreseeable future, and the net losses we incur may fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter. Our failure to become and remain profitable would decrease our value and could impair our ability to raise capital, maintain or expand our research and development efforts, expand our business, or continue our operations.

Our inability to raise additional capital on acceptable terms in the future may limit our ability to develop and commercialize our drug candidate, gedatolisib.

We may require additional capital to finance operating expenses and capital expenditures in the future as we prepare to launch, and if we launch, gedatolisib, and expand our infrastructure, commercial operations and research and development activities. If we are not able to secure additional funding when needed, we may have to delay, reduce the scope of or eliminate one or more research and development programs or selling and marketing initiatives. In addition, we may have to work with a partner on one or more of our products or market development programs, which could lower the economic value of those programs to our company.

Future financing activities could dilute the percentage ownership of our stockholders and could cause our stock price to fall or could result in operating or other restrictions.

We may seek to raise additional capital through equity offerings, debt financings, collaborations or licensing arrangements. Additional funding may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. If we raise funds by issuing equity securities, it will result in dilution to current stockholders. Any equity securities issued may also provide for rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of holders of our existing securities. The incurrence of additional indebtedness or the issuance of certain equity securities could result in increased fixed payment obligations and could also include restrictive covenants, such as limitations on our ability to incur additional debt or issue additional equity, limitations on our ability to acquire or license intellectual property rights, and other operating restrictions that could adversely affect our ability to conduct our business. In the event that we enter into collaborations or licensing arrangements to raise capital, we may be required to accept unfavorable terms.

We are dependent on our ability to attract and retain key personnel.

Our operations are materially dependent upon the services of our officers and key employees, including Brian F. Sullivan, our Chief Executive Officer, and Dr. Lance G. Laing, our Chief Science Officer. Successful implementation of our business plan will also require the services of other consultants and additional personnel. We cannot assure you that we will be able to attract and retain such persons as employees, independent contractors, consultants or otherwise. If we are not able to attract individuals with the skills required for our business, or if we lose the services of either Mr. Sullivan or Dr. Laing, we may be unable to successfully implement our business plan.

Product liability claims may damage our reputation and, if insurance proves inadequate, these claims may harm our business.

We may be exposed to the risk of product liability claims that is inherent in the pharmaceutical industry. A product liability claim may damage our reputation by raising questions about our product’s safety and could limit our ability to sell our product. In addition, product liability insurance for the pharmaceutical industry is generally expensive to the extent it is available at all. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain or maintain such insurance on acceptable terms for any product we bring to market. Further, our product liability insurance coverage may not provide coverage or may be insufficient to reimburse us for any or all expenses or losses we may suffer. A successful claim against us with respect to uninsured liabilities or in excess of insurance coverage could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We are expanding our development and regulatory capabilities and implementing sales, marketing and distribution capabilities, and as a result, we may encounter difficulties in managing our growth, which could disrupt our operations.

We are experiencing significant growth in the number of our employees and the scope of our operations, particularly in the areas of drug development, regulatory affairs and, in anticipation of our product candidate potentially receiving marketing approval, sales, marketing and distribution. To manage this growth, we must continue to implement and improve our managerial, operational and financial systems, and continue to recruit and train additional qualified personnel. Due to finite financial and human resources, we may not be able to effectively manage the expansion of our operations or recruit and train sufficient numbers of additional qualified personnel. The expansion of our operations is costly and may divert our management and business development resources. Any inability to manage growth could delay the execution of our business plans or disrupt our operations.

Changes to trade policy, including new or increased tariffs and changing import and export regulations, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be adversely affected by uncertainty and changes in U.S. or international trade policies, including tariffs, quotas, trade agreements, or other trade restrictions imposed by the U.S. or other governments. For example, the U.S. has instituted certain changes, and has proposed additional changes, in trade policies that include the negotiation or termination of trade agreements, the imposition of higher tariffs on imports into the U.S., and other government regulations affecting trade between the U.S. and other countries. New tariffs and other changes in U.S. trade policy have triggered, and may in the future trigger, retaliatory actions by affected countries, and foreign governments may institute or may consider imposing trade sanctions on U.S. goods. Several recent tariff announcements have been followed by announcements of limited exemptions, revisions, and temporary pauses, resulting in significant uncertainty.

Further increasing uncertainty related to trade policies, on February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled against the U.S. presidential administration’s use of tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (the “IEEPA”). However, the decision creates uncertainty related to various aspects of the tariffs previously collected under the IEEPA, and not all tariffs announced throughout 2025 were impacted by this U.S. Supreme Court decision. Additionally, in response to the U.S. Supreme Court ruling, the U.S. presidential administration imposed a new worldwide tariff effective for 150 days from February 24, 2026. The imposition of these new, worldwide tariffs, as well as the potential for further tariff actions by the U.S. presidential administration or others, represents a significant source of uncertainty. The imposition of tariffs and other trade restrictions, as well as the escalation of trade disputes and any downturns in the global economy resulting therefrom, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. The extent and duration of the tariffs and other trade restrictions and the resulting impact on general economic conditions and on our business are uncertain and depend on various factors, such as negotiations between the U.S. and affected countries, the responses of other countries or regions, exemptions or exclusions that may be granted, and availability and cost of alternative sources of supply.

Any imposition of, or increase in, tariffs or other restrictions on imports of active pharmaceutical ingredient (“API”), finished drug product or other materials (or the components of these materials) could increase the cost for such API, finished drug product or other materials and also increase the prices for such materials available domestically or locally, if any, which in turn could increase our costs for API and our finished drug product. Such cost increases could materially and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. Tariffs or other trade restrictions may lead to continuing uncertainty and volatility in U.S. and global financial and economic conditions and commodity markets, declining consumer confidence, significant inflation, and diminished expectations for the economy. Such conditions could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial position.

Our indebtedness and liabilities could limit the cash flow available for our operations, expose us to risks that could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations and impair our ability to satisfy our debt obligations.

As of December 31, 2025, we had $338.8 million aggregate principal amount of indebtedness for borrowed money, of which $130.0 million was secured indebtedness consisting of the Term Loans (as defined in Note 10 to our financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report). Included in the aggregate principal amount is $201.3 million principal amount of additional indebtedness as a result of the offering of the Company’s 2.750% Senior Notes due 2031 (the “Notes”). We may incur additional indebtedness to meet future financing needs. For example, we have an additional $220.0 million in incremental Term Loans that can be drawn under the A&R Loan Agreement (as defined in Note 10 to our financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report) upon the achievement of certain regulatory milestones and product revenue thresholds. Our indebtedness could have significant negative consequences for our security holders and our business, results of operations and financial condition by, among other things:

Our business may not generate sufficient funds, and we may otherwise be unable to maintain sufficient cash reserves, to pay amounts due under our indebtedness, and our cash needs may increase in the future. In addition, the A&R Loan Agreement contains, and any future indebtedness that we may incur in the future may contain, financial and other restrictive covenants that limit our ability to operate our business, raise capital or make payments under our other indebtedness. If we fail to comply with these covenants or to make payments under our indebtedness when due, then we would be in default under that indebtedness, which could, in turn, result in that and our other indebtedness becoming immediately due and payable in full.

We may be unable to raise the funds necessary to repurchase the Notes for cash following a fundamental change or to pay any cash amounts due upon maturity, and our other indebtedness may limit our ability to repurchase the Notes or to pay any cash amounts due upon their maturity.

Noteholders may, subject to a limited exception, require us to repurchase their Notes following a fundamental change at a cash repurchase price generally equal to the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date. Upon maturity of the Notes, we must pay their principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest in cash, unless they have been previously converted, redeemed or repurchased. We may not have enough available cash or be able to obtain financing at the time we are required to repurchase the Notes or pay any cash amounts due upon their maturity. In addition, applicable law, regulatory authorities and the agreements governing our other indebtedness may restrict our ability to repurchase the Notes or to pay any cash amounts due upon their maturity. Our failure to repurchase Notes or to pay any cash amounts due upon their maturity when required will constitute a default under the indenture, dated as of August 1, 2025, between the Company and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee (the “Base Indenture”), as supplemented by the first supplemental indenture (the “Supplemental Indenture,” and the Base Indenture, as supplemented by the Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”). A default under the Indenture or the fundamental change itself could also lead to a default under agreements governing our other indebtedness, which may result in that other indebtedness becoming immediately payable in full after any applicable notice or grace periods. We may not have sufficient funds to satisfy all amounts due under our indebtedness.

Provisions in the Indenture could delay or prevent an otherwise beneficial takeover of us.

Certain provisions in the Notes and the Indenture could make a third-party attempt to acquire us more difficult or expensive. For example, if a takeover constitutes a fundamental change, then, subject to limited exceptions, Noteholders will have the right to require us to repurchase their Notes for cash. In addition, if a takeover constitutes a make-whole fundamental change, then we may be required to temporarily increase the conversion rate of the Notes. In either case, and in other cases, our obligations under the Notes and the Indenture could increase the cost of acquiring us or otherwise discourage a third party from acquiring us or removing incumbent management, including in a transaction that holders of our common stock may view as favorable.

Risks Related to Our Product Strategy

Our near-term revenue prospects depend on the success of our initial drug product, gedatolisib. If we are unable to successfully complete clinical development of, obtain regulatory approval for, or commercialize, gedatolisib, or if we experience delays in doing so, including supply chain interruptions, our business will be materially and adversely impacted. If we are unable to successfully complete clinical development of, obtain regulatory approval for or commercialize gedatolisib, or if we experience delays in doing so, our business will be materially harmed.

Our future success and ability to generate revenue, if ever, is dependent on our ability to successfully develop, obtain regulatory approval for and commercialize gedatolisib for one or more intended uses. We may not have the financial resources to continue development of, or to modify existing or enter into new collaborations for, our current or future product candidates if we experience any issues that delay or prevent regulatory approval of, or our ability to commercialize, gedatolisib, including:

We were not involved in the early development of gedatolisib; therefore, we are dependent on third parties having accurately generated, collected, interpreted and reported data from certain preclinical and clinical trials of gedatolisib.

We had no involvement with or control over the initial preclinical and clinical development of gedatolisib. We are dependent on third parties having conducted their research and development in accordance with the applicable protocols and legal, regulatory and scientific standards; having accurately reported the results of all preclinical studies and clinical trials conducted with respect to such drug product; and having correctly collected and interpreted the data from these trials.

We have not yet successfully completed any registrational clinical trials, and we may be unable to do so for any drug candidates we may develop.

We will need to successfully achieve primary clinical endpoints in registrational clinical trials, in order to obtain and maintain the approval of the FDA or comparable foreign regulatory authorities to market our drug product. Carrying out clinical trials, including later-stage registrational clinical trials, is a complicated process. As an organization, we have not previously completed any registrational clinical trials. In order to do so, we continue to build and expand our clinical development and regulatory capabilities, and there is risk that we may be unable to recruit and train qualified personnel. In order to do so, we will need to build and expand our clinical development and regulatory capabilities, and we may be unable to recruit and train qualified personnel. We also expect to continue to rely on third parties to conduct our clinical trials. If these third parties do not successfully carry out their contractual duties, meet expected deadlines or comply with regulatory requirements, we may not be able to obtain regulatory approval of or commercialize any product candidates. Consequently, we may be unable to successfully and efficiently execute and complete necessary clinical trials in a way that leads to submission, approval, and maintaining approval of our drug product. We may require more time and incur greater costs than our competitors and may not succeed in obtaining regulatory approval of any drug products that we develop. Failure to commence or complete, or delays in, our planned clinical trials, could prevent us from or delay us in commercializing our drug products.

The successful development of our products is highly uncertain.

Our business depends on the successful development of our pharmaceutical products, which is highly uncertain and is dependent on numerous factors, many of which are beyond our control. Product candidates that appear promising in the early phases of development may fail to reach the market for several reasons including, among other things, that clinical trial results may show the product candidates to be less effective than expected or to have unacceptable side effects or toxicities; we may fail to receive the necessary regulatory approvals or there may be a delay in receiving such approvals; or the proprietary rights of others and their competing products and technologies may prevent our product candidates from being commercialized.

The length of time necessary to complete clinical trials and to submit an application for marketing approval for a final decision by a regulatory authority varies significantly from one drug product to the next and from one country to the next and may be difficult to predict. We will incur significant research and development expenses before knowing whether our products are commercially viable, and may abandon development of a specific trial, or a product candidate, at any time for a variety of reasons. If we expend resources on products that are ultimately not commercially viable, our timing for becoming profitable and our ability to invest in other products in our pipeline would be adversely affected.

In addition, if gedatolisib receives marketing approval for the intended uses that we are pursuing, we will continue to be subject to significant post-approval regulatory obligations. Compliance with these requirements is costly, and any failure to comply or other issues with our drug products post-approval could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, there is always the risk that we, a regulatory authority, or a third party might identify previously unknown problems with a product post-approval, such as adverse events of unanticipated severity or frequency.

If we encounter difficulties enrolling patients in any of our clinical trials, our clinical development activities could be delayed or otherwise adversely affected.

The timely completion of clinical trials in accordance with their protocols depends, among other things, on our ability to enroll a sufficient number of patients who remain in the trial until its conclusion. We may experience difficulties in patient enrollment in our clinical trials for a variety of reasons, including:

Delays in patient enrollment may result in increased costs or may affect the timing or outcome of our clinical trials, which could prevent completion of these trials and adversely affect our ability to advance the development of our product candidates.

Interim, topline and preliminary data from our clinical studies that we announce or publish from time to time may change as more data become available and are subject to audit and verification procedures that could result in material changes in the final data.

From time to time, we may publicly disclose preliminary or interim data from our clinical studies, which is based on a preliminary analysis of then-available data, and the results and related findings and conclusions are subject to change following a more comprehensive review of the data related to the particular study. We also make assumptions, estimations, calculations and conclusions as part of our analyses of data, and we may not have received or had the opportunity to fully and carefully evaluate all data. As a result, the preliminary or interim results that we report may differ from future results of the same studies, or different conclusions or considerations may qualify such results once additional data have been received and fully evaluated. Preliminary or interim data also remain subject to audit and verification procedures that may result in the final data being materially different from the preliminary data we previously published. As a result, preliminary or interim data should be viewed with caution until the final data are available. Adverse differences between preliminary or interim data and final data could significantly harm our reputation and marketing efforts.

Further, others, including healthcare providers or payors, may not accept or agree with our assumptions, estimates, calculations, conclusions or analyses or may interpret or weigh the importance of data differently, which could impact the value of the particular program, the approvability or commercialization of the particular product candidate or product and our company in general. In addition, the information we choose to publicly disclose regarding a particular study is based on what is typically extensive information, you or others may not agree with what we determine is the material or otherwise appropriate information to include in our disclosure, and any information we determine not to disclose may ultimately be deemed significant with respect to future decisions, conclusions, views, activities or otherwise regarding our business. In addition, a drug may receive Breakthrough Therapy Designation if it is intended, alone or in combination with one or more other products, to treat a serious or life-threatening disease or condition and preliminary clinical evidence indicates that the product may demonstrate substantial improvement over existing therapies on one or more clinically significant endpoints, such as substantial treatment effects observed early in clinical development. If the preliminary or interim data that we report differ from actual results, or if others, including healthcare providers or payors, disagree with the conclusions reached, our ability to commercialize our product candidate may be harmed, which could harm our business, operating results, prospects or financial condition.

Clinical development involves a lengthy and expensive process, with an uncertain outcome. We may incur additional costs or experience delays in completing, or ultimately be unable to complete, the development and commercialization of our product candidates.

To obtain the requisite regulatory approvals to commercialize any drug product, we must demonstrate through extensive preclinical studies and clinical trials that such drug product is safe and effective in humans. Clinical testing is expensive and can take many years to complete, and its outcome is inherently uncertain. We may be unable to establish clinical endpoints that applicable regulatory authorities would consider clinically meaningful, and a clinical trial can fail at any stage of testing.

Differences in trial design between early-stage clinical trials and later-stage clinical trials, which involve a greater number of patients and take years to complete, make it difficult to extrapolate the results of earlier clinical trials to later clinical trials. Moreover, clinical data are often susceptible to varying interpretations and analyses, and many companies that have believed their product candidates performed satisfactorily in clinical trials have nonetheless failed to obtain marketing approval of their products. Additionally, we are conducting and plan to conduct some open-label clinical trials, where both the patient and investigator know whether the patient is receiving the investigational product candidate or either an existing approved drug or placebo. Additionally, we are conducting and plan to conduct some open-label trials, where both the patient and investigator know whether the patient is receiving the investigational product candidate or either an existing approved drug or placebo. Most typically, open-label clinical trials test only the investigational product candidate and sometimes may do so at different dose levels. Open-label clinical trials are subject to various limitations that may exaggerate any therapeutic effect as patients in those trials are aware when they are receiving treatment. Open-label clinical trials may be subject to a “patient bias” where patients perceive their symptoms to have improved merely due to their awareness of receiving an experimental treatment. In addition, open-label clinical trials may be subject to an “investigator bias” where those assessing and reviewing the outcomes of the clinical trials are aware of which patients have received treatment and may interpret the information of the treated group more favorably given this knowledge. Where a randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial is designed to allow enrolled subjects to cross-over to the treatment arm, there may be a risk of inadvertent unblinding of subjects prior to cross-over, which may limit the clinical meaningfulness of those data and may require the conduct of additional clinical trials. As such, the results from an open-label clinical trial may not be predictive of future clinical trial results with any of our product candidates for which we include an open-label clinical trial when studied in a controlled environment with a placebo or active control. As such, the results from an open-label trial may not be predictive of future clinical trial results with any of our product candidates for which we include an open-label clinical trial when studied in a controlled environment with a placebo or active control.

Successful completion of clinical trials, or achievement of a predefined primary endpoint, is a prerequisite to submitting an NDA, or NDA supplement, to the FDA, and similar marketing applications to comparable foreign regulatory authorities, for each drug product and, consequently, the ultimate approval and commercial marketing of any drug products. We may experience delays in initiating or completing clinical trials, or achieving event thresholds, including if it takes longer than expected to activate the targeted number of clinical sites, if the enrollment of patients is slower than anticipated or negatively affected by staffing shortages at clinical sites, or by other unanticipated factors, or if the FDA or other regulatory authorities require us to pause one or more of our clinical trials due to unexpected safety issues. However, due to the complexity of clinical trials, the uncertainty of outcomes, and the uncertainty of how the FDA and other regulatory authorities may balance benefits and risks in their review of an NDA, it may not be practical or possible to address all benefit-risk assessment considerations in a clinical trial so that sufficient evidence is generated to support a marketing approval, even if the primary endpoint objective is achieved in the Phase 3 stage of the trial. We also may experience numerous unforeseen events during, or as a result of, any future clinical trials that we could conduct that could delay or prevent our ability to receive marketing approval or commercialize our current product candidates or any future product candidates.

Our costs will increase if we experience delays in clinical testing or marketing approvals. We do not know whether our clinical trials will begin or continue as planned, will need to be reassigned or will be completed on schedule, or at all. Significant clinical trial delays also could shorten any periods during which we may have the exclusive right to commercialize our product candidates and may allow our competitors to bring products to market before we do, potentially impairing our ability to successfully commercialize our product candidates and harming our business and results of operations. Any delays in our clinical development programs may harm our business, financial condition and results of operations significantly.

We face significant competition, and our operating results will suffer if we fail to compete effectively.

Our industry is characterized by intense competition and rapid innovation. Our competitors may be able to develop other compounds or drugs that are able to achieve similar or better results than our lead product candidate, gedatolisib. Our potential competitors include major multinational pharmaceutical companies, established biotechnology companies, specialty pharmaceutical companies, and universities and other research institutions. Many of our competitors have substantially greater financial, technical and other resources, such as larger research and development staff and experienced marketing and manufacturing organizations and well-established sales forces.

Smaller or early-stage companies may also prove to be significant competitors, particularly as they develop novel approaches to treating disease indications that gedatolisib is also focused on treating. Established pharmaceutical companies may also invest heavily to accelerate discovery and development of novel therapeutics or to in-license novel therapeutics that could make the product candidates that we develop obsolete. Mergers and acquisitions in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries may result in even more resources being concentrated in our competitors.

Competition may increase further as a result of advances in the commercial applicability of technologies and greater availability of capital for investment in these industries. Our competitors, either alone or with collaboration partners, may succeed in developing, acquiring or licensing on an exclusive basis products that are more effective, safer, more easily commercialized or less costly than our product candidates or may develop proprietary technologies or secure patent protection that we may need for the development of our technologies and products. We believe the key competitive factors that will affect the development and commercial success of our product candidates are efficacy, safety, tolerability, reliability, convenience of use, price, and reimbursement.

Even if we obtain regulatory approval of drug products, the availability and price of our competitors’ products could limit the demand and the price we are able to charge for our product candidates. We may not be able to implement our business plan if the acceptance of our product candidates is inhibited by price competition or the reluctance of physicians to switch from existing methods of treatment to our product candidates, or if physicians switch to other new drug or biologic products or choose to reserve our product candidates for use in limited circumstances.

If our information technology systems or data, or those of third parties upon which we rely, are or were compromised, we could face clinical trial delays; regulatory investigations or actions; litigation; fines and penalties; disruptions of our business operations; reputational harm; and other adverse consequences.

Cyberattacks, malicious internet-based activity, online and offline fraud, and other similar activities threaten the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of our sensitive information and information technology systems, and those of the third parties upon which we rely. We rely on contract research organizations, contract manufacturing organizations, distributors, supply chain resources, and other third-party service providers and technologies to operate critical business systems to process sensitive information in a variety of contexts, including, without limitation, on-site systems and cloud-based data centers, systems handling human resources, financial reporting and controls, customer relationship management, regulatory compliance, and other infrastructure operations. We also communicate sensitive data, including patient data, electronically, and through relationships with multiple third-party vendors and their subcontractors. These applications and data encompass a wide variety of sensitive information, including research and development information, patient data, commercial information, and business and financial information. Our ability to monitor these third parties’ security practices is limited, and these third parties may not have adequate security measures in place. If we or any of our third-party service providers experience a security incident or other interruption, we could experience adverse consequences. We cannot guarantee that third parties and infrastructure in our supply chain or our third-party partners’ supply chains have not been compromised or that they do not contain exploitable defects or bugs that could result in a breach of or disruption to our information technology systems or the third-party information technology systems that support us and our services.

Cybersecurity threats are becoming increasingly difficult to detect, and come from a variety of sources, including without limitation, nation-state actors and activists that create disruption for geopolitical reasons and in conjunction with military conflicts and defense activities. This risk is heightened as a result of global wars and other major conflicts. In addition, we and the third parties upon which we rely face an evolving cybersecurity threat landscape, which includes social-engineering attacks (including through deep fakes, which may be increasingly more difficult to identify as fake, and phishing attacks), malicious code (such as viruses and worms), malware (including as a result of advanced persistent threat intrusions), denial-of-service attacks, credential stuffing, credential harvesting, personnel misconduct or error, ransomware attacks, supply-chain attacks, software bugs, server malfunctions, attacks enhanced or facilitated by artificial intelligence (“AI”), software or hardware failures, loss of data or other information technology assets, adware, telecommunications failures, natural disasters, terrorism, and other similar threats.

The majority of our employees and contractors work remotely. Remote work involves risks to our information technology systems and data, as individuals utilize network connections, computers and devices outside our premises or network, including working at home, while in transit and in public locations.

Ransomware attacks also continue to increase in prevalence and severity and can lead to significant interruptions in our operations, ability to provide our services, loss of data and income, reputational harm, and diversion of funds. Extortion payments may alleviate the negative impact of a ransomware attack, but we may be unwilling or unable to make such payments due to, for example, applicable laws or regulations prohibiting such payments.

While we take steps designed to identify, prevent, assess and mitigate vulnerabilities in our information systems and to mitigate related third-party risks, there can be no assurance that we will be able to detect and remediate all such vulnerabilities, including on a timely basis. The threats and techniques used to exploit vulnerabilities change frequently and are often sophisticated in nature. The threats and techniques used to exploit the vulnerability change frequently and are often sophisticated in nature. Therefore, we (or third parties on whom we rely) may be unable to detect a vulnerability until after a security incident has occurred. Further, we or third parties on which we rely may face downtime as a result of adopting new information technology systems that are designed to enhance compliance or reduce vulnerabilities.

A security incident or other interruption could result in unauthorized, unlawful, or accidental acquisition, modification, destruction, loss, alteration, encryption, disclosure of, or access to our sensitive information or our information technology systems, or those of the third parties upon whom we rely. This could disrupt our clinical trials, damage our reputation, and negatively affect our ability to conduct our business in the ordinary course, including our ability to collect, process, and prepare company financial information, provide information and educational materials through our website, and manage the administrative aspects of our business.

We may expend significant resources or modify our business activities (including our clinical trial activities) to try to protect against security incidents. Additionally, certain data privacy and security obligations may require us to implement and maintain certain measures to protect our information technology systems and sensitive information and to notify relevant stakeholders, including affected individuals, regulatory authorities and our stockholders, of certain security incidents. The disclosure decisions are complex, may take time to determine, and may be subject to change as an investigation progresses. Providing disclosure may be costly, and the failure to comply with such requirements could also lead to adverse consequences. If we (or a third party upon whom we rely) experience a security incident or are perceived to have experienced a security incident, we may face government enforcement actions (for example, investigations, fines, penalties, audits, and inspections); additional reporting requirements and/or oversight; restrictions on processing sensitive information (including personal information); litigation (including class claims) and mass arbitration; indemnification obligations; negative publicity; reputational harm; monetary fund diversions; interruptions in our operations (including availability of data); financial loss; and other similar harms. Accordingly, security incidents and attendant consequences may damage our financial position and negatively impact our ability to grow and operate our business.

Further, if the information technology systems of the third parties upon which we rely become subject to security incidents, we may have insufficient recourse against such third parties, and we may have to expend significant resources to mitigate the impact of such an event, and to develop and implement protections to prevent future events of this nature from occurring. There can be no assurance that limitations of liability in our third-party contracts are sufficient to protect us from liabilities, damages, or claims related to our data privacy and security obligations. We cannot be sure that our insurance coverage will be adequate or sufficient to protect us from or to mitigate liabilities arising out of our data privacy and security practices. Additionally, we cannot be sure that such coverage will continue to be available on commercially reasonable terms or at all, or that such coverage will pay future claims.

In addition to experiencing a security incident, third parties may gather, collect, or infer sensitive information about us from public sources, data brokers, or other means that reveals competitively sensitive details about our organization and could be used to undermine our competitive advantage or market position. Additionally, our sensitive information could be leaked, disclosed, or revealed as a result of or in connection with our employees’, personnel’s, or vendors’ use of generative AI technologies.

Artificial intelligence presents risks and challenges that can impact our business including by posing security risks to our confidential information, proprietary information and personal data.

Issues in the use of artificial intelligence, combined with an uncertain regulatory environment, may result in reputational harm, liability or other adverse consequences to our business operations. As with many technological innovations, artificial intelligence presents risks and challenges that could impact our business. Our vendors may incorporate generative artificial intelligence tools into their offerings without disclosing this use to us, and the providers of these generative artificial intelligence tools may not meet existing or rapidly evolving regulatory or industry standards with respect to privacy and data protection and may inhibit our or our vendors’ ability to maintain an adequate level of service and experience. If any of our vendors experiences an actual or perceived breach or privacy or security incident because of the use of generative artificial intelligence, we may lose valuable intellectual property and confidential information and our reputation and the public perception of the effectiveness of our security measures could be harmed. Further, bad actors around the world use increasingly sophisticated methods, including the use of artificial intelligence, to engage in illegal activities involving the theft and misuse of personal information, confidential information and intellectual property. Any of these outcomes could damage our reputation, result in the loss of valuable property and information, and adversely impact our business.

Public health matters may materially and adversely impact our business, including ongoing clinical trials.

The outbreak of COVID-19 and government measures taken in response demonstrated that public health matters have a significant impact on the global economy, with healthcare systems particularly affected. Future outbreaks or variants of COVID-19, or the emergence of other pandemics or public health disruptions, could materially and adversely impact our clinical trials, business, financial condition and results of operations. Future outbreaks or variants of the virus, or the emergence of other pandemics or public health disruptions, could materially and adversely impact our clinical trials, business, financial condition and results of operations. Potential disruptions include but are not limited to:

Risks Related to Product Development and Product Regulation

If we are unable to obtain approval from the FDA or comparable foreign regulatory authorities to market our products for their intended use, we will not be able to generate revenue. For a new drug to be approved for marketing, the FDA and other regulatory authorities must determine that the drug is safe and effective. Because all drugs can have adverse effects, the data from our Phase 3 clinical study must demonstrate to the satisfaction of the FDA and other health authorities that the benefits of gedatolisib in combination with fulvestrant, and with or without palbociclib, or gedatolisib in combination with fulvestrant plus a CDK4/6 inhibitor, outweigh its risks. Because all drugs can have adverse effects, the data from our Phase 3 clinical study must demonstrate to the satisfaction of the FDA and other health authorities that the benefits of gedatolisib in combination with palbociclib and fulvestrant, or gedatolisib in combination with fulvestrant, outweigh its risks. Failure to demonstrate sufficient magnitude of benefit, even if the benefit is found to be statistically significant, may not support regulatory approval.

The marketability of our products, particularly gedatolisib, depends on securing approval from the FDA and equivalent foreign regulatory bodies. This requires rigorous pre-clinical and clinical studies, including Phase 3 clinical trials for each intended use, that the benefits of the therapy outweigh its risks. Failure to demonstrate sufficient magnitude of benefit, even if the benefit is found to be statistically significant, may not support regulatory approval. Satisfaction of the FDA’s regulatory requirements typically takes many years and requires substantial resources for research, development and testing.

If a drug meets its primary efficacy endpoint objective in a Phase 3 clinical trial, and the drug sponsor has additional nonclinical and clinical data required by the FDA or other regulatory authorities, the drug sponsor may submit an NDA seeking marketing approval. Upon submission of an NDA, these health authorities perform a benefit-risk assessment that considers the strength and quality of evidence available and takes remaining uncertainties into account. These considerations include an assessment of the strengths and limitations of clinical trials, including design, and potential implications for assessing drug efficacy, the magnitude of benefit and interpretation of clinical importance, the benefit attributed to the drug when studied in combination with other therapies, and the clinical relevance of the study endpoints. We are currently conducting a Phase 3 clinical trial, VIKTORIA-1, evaluating gedatolisib in combination with fulvestrant with or without palbociclib, in patients with HR+/HER2- ABC after progression on CDK4/6 therapy, conducting a Phase 3 clinical trial, VIKTORIA-2, evaluating gedatolisib in combination with a CDK4/6 inhibitor and fulvestrant as first-line treatment for patients with endocrine treatment resistant HR+/HER2- ABC, and conducting a Phase 1b/2 clinical trial, CELC-G-201, evaluating gedatolisib in combination with darolutamide in patients with metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer. In November 2025, we completed our NDA submission to the FDA for gedatolisib in HR+/HER2- ABC based on clinical data from the PIK3CA WT cohort of the Phase 3 VIKTORIA-1 clinical trial. On January 16, 2026, the FDA accepted our NDA, designated it for Priority Review, and identified July 17, 2026 as our PDUFA target goal date.

We have sought feedback from the FDA and other regulatory authorities on the design of gedatolisib clinical trials, with the goal of addressing these considerations in the clinical trials’ design. However, due to the complexity of clinical trials, the uncertainty of outcomes, and the uncertainty of how the FDA and other regulatory authorities may balance benefits and risks in their review of an NDA, it may not be practical or possible to address all benefit-risk assessment considerations in a clinical trial so that sufficient evidence is generated to support a marketing approval, even if the primary endpoint objective is achieved in the Phase 3 stage of the trial. The FDA or other regulatory authorities may require us to redesign or conduct additional unplanned clinical trials before granting any approval and we may not get approval at all. Regulatory approval may also be delayed by changes in government regulation, future legislation or administrative action or changes in FDA policy that occur during our regulatory review. We cannot predict whether our research and clinical approaches will result in a drug that the FDA considers safe for humans and effective for indicated uses.

If regulatory approvals are delayed or not obtained, especially with respect to gedatolisib, it will negatively impact our ability to commercialize our products and generate revenue and may diminish any competitive advantages that we may otherwise enjoy. If we are required to conduct additional clinical trials or other testing of gedatolisib beyond those that we currently contemplate, if we are unable to successfully complete clinical trials or other testing of gedatolisib, or if the results of these trials or tests are not positive or are only modestly positive or if there are safety concerns, we may:

Additionally, if the size of the FDA group dedicated to reviewing oncology-related submissions is reduced, further delays of our regulatory submissions may be encountered.

Breakthrough Therapy Designation, Fast Track Designation, NDA submission via RTOR, and being awarded Priority Review from the FDA may not actually lead to a faster development or regulatory review or approval process.

If a drug is intended for the treatment of a serious or life-threatening condition and the product demonstrates the potential to address unmet medical needs for this condition, the product sponsor may apply for Fast Track Designation. The designation offers the opportunity for frequent interactions with the FDA to discuss the drug’s development plan and to ensure collection of appropriate data needed to support drug approval, as well as eligibility for submission of an NDA.

In addition, a drug may receive Breakthrough Therapy Designation if it is intended, alone or in combination with one or more other products, to treat a serious or life-threatening disease or condition and preliminary clinical evidence indicates that the product may demonstrate substantial improvement over existing therapies on one or more clinically significant endpoints, such as substantial treatment effects observed early in clinical development. The benefits of Breakthrough Therapy Designation include more intensive guidance from the FDA on an efficient development program, access to a scientific liaison to help accelerate review time, and potential eligibility for Priority Review if relevant criteria are met. This designation can expedite the development and regulatory review of an investigational medicine that is intended to treat a serious or life-threatening condition.

Fast Track and Breakthrough Therapy Designations, as well as seeking to submit our NDA on a rolling basis pursuant to the FDA’s RTOR program, and receiving Priority Review, are within the discretion of the FDA. The FDA has granted both designations to our lead drug candidate, gedatolisib, and has accepted our NDA which was filed via RTOR and designated it for Priority Review. However, such designations and programs may not result in a faster development process, review or approval compared to products considered for approval under conventional FDA review procedures, and none of these designations and awards assures ultimate approval by the FDA. In addition, the FDA may later decide that the product no longer meets the qualification conditions and may rescind such designations or programs, or the FDA may not approve our NDA by the Priority Review PDUFA target goal date of July 17, 2026.

Obtaining and maintaining FDA approval of our product candidates in the U.S. does not mean that we will be successful in obtaining regulatory approval of our product candidates in other jurisdictions.

Obtaining and maintaining FDA approval of our product candidates in the U.S. does not guarantee that we will be able to obtain or maintain regulatory approval in any other jurisdiction, while a failure or delay in obtaining FDA approval in the U.S. may have a negative effect on the regulatory approval process in other jurisdictions. For example, even if the FDA grants marketing approval of a product candidate, a comparable foreign regulatory authority must also approve the manufacturing, marketing and promotion of the product candidate in those countries.

Approval procedures vary among jurisdictions and can involve requirements and administrative review periods different from, and greater than, those in the U.S., including additional preclinical studies or clinical trials, as clinical trials conducted in one jurisdiction may not be accepted by regulatory authorities in other jurisdictions. In many jurisdictions outside the U.S., a product candidate must be approved for reimbursement before it can be approved for sale in that jurisdiction. In some cases, the price that we intend to charge for our products is also subject to approval.

Obtaining foreign regulatory approvals and compliance with foreign regulatory requirements could result in significant delays, difficulties and costs for us and could delay or prevent the introduction of our products in certain countries. If we fail to comply with the regulatory requirements in international markets and/or receive applicable marketing approvals, our target market will be reduced and our ability to realize the full market potential of our product candidates will be harmed.

Even if we receive initial regulatory approvals, we will be subject to ongoing regulatory obligations and continued regulatory review, which may result in significant additional expense, and we may be subject to penalties if we fail to comply with regulatory requirements or experience unanticipated problems with our product candidates.

If any of our product candidates are approved, they will be subject to ongoing regulatory requirements for manufacturing, labeling, packaging, storage, distribution, advertising, promotion, sampling, record-keeping, conduct of post-marketing studies and submission of safety and other post-marketing information, including both federal and state requirements in the U.S. and requirements of comparable foreign regulatory authorities. In addition, we will be subject to continued compliance with requirements for any clinical trials that we conduct post-approval.

Manufacturers and manufacturers’ facilities are required to comply with extensive FDA and comparable foreign regulatory authority requirements. Accordingly, we and others with whom we work must continue to expend time, money and effort in all areas of regulatory compliance, including manufacturing, production and quality control.

Any regulatory approvals that we receive for our product candidates may be subject to limitations on the approved indicated uses for which the product may be marketed or to the conditions of approval, or contain requirements for potentially costly post-marketing testing, including Phase 4 clinical trials and surveillance to monitor the safety and efficacy of the product candidate. Certain endpoint data we hope to include in any approved product labeling also may not make it into such labeling, including exploratory or secondary endpoint data such as patient-reported outcome measures. The FDA may impose consent decrees or withdraw approval if compliance with regulatory requirements and standards is not maintained or if problems occur after the product reaches the market. Later discovery of previously unknown problems with our product candidates, including adverse events of unanticipated severity or frequency, or with our third-party manufacturers or manufacturing processes, or failure to comply with regulatory requirements, may result in revisions to the approved labeling to add new safety information, imposition of post-marketing studies or clinical trials to assess new safety risks or imposition of distribution restrictions or other restrictions under a REMS program. Other potential consequences include, among other things:

The FDA strictly regulates marketing, labeling, advertising and promotion of products that are placed on the market. Products may be promoted only for the approved indications and in accordance with the provisions of the approved label. If we are slow or unable to adapt to changes in existing requirements or adopt new requirements or policies, or if we are not able to maintain regulatory compliance, we may lose any marketing approval that we may have obtained and we may not achieve or sustain profitability. 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, we may lose any marketing approval that we may have obtained and we may not achieve or sustain profitability.

Risks Related to Commercializing Our Products

Even if our products achieve requisite approvals, they may fail to achieve the degree of market acceptance by physicians, patients, third-party payors and others in the medical community necessary for commercial success.

If any product we develop receives marketing approval, it may nonetheless fail to gain sufficient market acceptance by physicians, patients, third-party payors and others in the medical community. For example, existing drug therapies may be viewed as more reliable or more easily administered than gedatolisib. If the product candidates we develop do not achieve an adequate level of acceptance, we may not generate significant product revenues and we may not become profitable. The degree of market acceptance of any product candidate, if approved for commercial sale, will depend on a number of factors, including:

●

efficacy and potential advantages compared to alternatives;

If our products do not achieve an adequate level of acceptance, we may never generate significant product revenues and we may not become profitable.

If we commercialize any product candidates, we will be subject to U.S. and foreign governmental regulations as well as private payor policies that mandate price controls or limitations on patient access to our products or establish prices paid by government entities or programs for our products. Our business and our future results could be adversely affected by changes in such regulations.

Even if we or our partners are successful in obtaining marketing approval, commercial success of any approved products will also depend in large part on the availability of insurance coverage and adequate reimbursement from third-party payors, including government payors such as the VA, Medicare and Medicaid programs, 340B, and managed care organizations in the U.S. or country specific governmental organizations in foreign countries. Government and private payors routinely seek to manage utilization and control costs, and there is considerable public and government scrutiny of pharmaceutical pricing. Efforts by states and the federal government to regulate prices or payment for pharmaceutical products, including proposed actions to facilitate drug importation, limit reimbursement to lower international (i.e., most favored nation) reference prices, require deep discounts, and require manufacturers to report and make public price increases and sometimes provide a written justification for such price increases, could adversely affect our business if and as implemented.

Availability of reimbursement may be affected by existing and future healthcare reform measures designed to reduce the cost of healthcare, including the Inflation Reduction Act, which requires manufacturers of certain drugs to engage in price negotiations with Medicare, imposes rebates under Medicare Part B and Medicare Part D to penalize price increases that outpace inflation, and replaces the Part D coverage gap discount program with a new discounting program. Some states have implemented, and others are considering implementing, patient access constraints or cost cutting under the Medicaid program, and some are considering measures that would apply to broader segments of their populations that are not Medicaid-eligible. State legislatures also have continued to focus on addressing drug costs, generally by increasing price transparency or limiting drug price increases.

Third-party payors also could require us to conduct additional studies, including post-marketing studies related to the cost effectiveness of a product and appropriateness for specific patient populations, to qualify for reimbursement, which could be costly and divert our resources. If government and other healthcare payors do not provide coverage and adequate reimbursement for our products once approved, market acceptance and commercial success would be reduced. Even if coverage is provided, the approved reimbursement amount may not be high enough to support pricing that results in a sufficient return on our research and development investment.

We expect pricing pressures will continue globally. U.S. and foreign governmental regulations that mandate price controls or limitations on patient access to our products or establish prices paid by government entities or programs for our products could impact our business, and our future results could be adversely affected by changes in such regulations or policies.

We may encounter difficulties in scaling production of, commercializing, marketing and distributing our products, including in hiring and retaining a qualified sales force.

In order to commercialize any of our products in the U.S. and other jurisdictions, we must build production, marketing, sales, managerial and other non-technical capabilities, or make arrangements with third parties to perform these services, and we may not be successful in doing so. These activities will be expensive and time-consuming and will require significant attention of our executive officers to manage. These activities will be expensive and time consuming and will require significant attention of our executive officers to manage. There are risks and material costs involved in establishing our own sales and marketing capabilities, as well as with entering into arrangements with third parties to perform these services. There are risks involved in establishing our own sales and marketing capabilities, as well as with entering into arrangements with third parties to perform these services.

In particular, there is intense competition for qualified sales personnel and our inability to hire or retain an adequate number of sales representatives could limit our ability to maintain or expand our business and increase sales. Furthermore, there is no guarantee that the market opportunity for gedatolisib will be as significant as we expect or exist at all. Furthermore, there is no guarantee that the market opportunity for gedatolisib will be as significant as we expect or exist at all, or that any new drug indications will require our CELsignia tests as a companion diagnostic, or that any pharmaceutical company will effectively coordinate sales and marketing activities with us for our CELsignia tests. If we are unable to successfully commercialize our products in the U.S. or other jurisdictions, or if we are delayed in doing so, including if we are unable to develop our marketing and sales networks or if our sales personnel do not perform as expected, we may never generate any revenue and our business may fail.

Our business, operational and financial goals may not be attainable if the market opportunities for our products are smaller than we expect. Our internal research and third-party estimates may not accurately reflect the market opportunities for gedatolisib today or in the future.

The total market opportunities that we believe exist are based on a variety of assumptions and estimates, including the size of the addressable patient population in applicable jurisdictions, other available drugs in these markets, payor coverage, anticipated reimbursement, and the price we will be able to charge for our products. In addition, we have relied on third-party publications, research, surveys and studies for information related to determining market opportunities, including without limitation, information on the number of addressable cancer patients and those receiving various forms of treatment, the cost of drug therapy, the amount of revenue generated from various types of drug therapy, the objective response rates of drug therapies, the number of deaths caused by cancer and the expected growth in cancer drug therapy. In addition, we have relied on third-party publications, research, surveys and studies for information related to determining market opportunities, including without limitation, information on the number of cancer patients and those receiving various forms of treatment, the cost of drug therapy, the amount of revenue generated from various types of drug therapy, the objective response rates of drug therapies, the number of deaths caused by cancer and the expected growth in cancer drug therapy and diagnostic markets. Our internal research and estimates on market opportunities have been verified by independent sources, but any or all of our assumptions and/or estimates may prove to be incorrect for several reasons, such as inaccurate reports or information that we have relied on, potential patients or providers not being amenable to using our products or such patients becoming difficult to identify and access, limited reimbursement for our products, pricing pressure due to availability of alternative drugs or an inability to obtain the necessary regulatory approvals for new indications. Any or all of our assumptions and/or estimates may prove to be incorrect for several reasons, such as inaccurate reports or information that we have relied on, potential patients or providers not being amenable to using our products or such patients becoming difficult to identify and access, limited reimbursement for our products, pricing pressure due to availability of alternative drugs or diagnostic tests, or an inability of the CELsignia tests’ companion drugs to obtain the necessary regulatory approvals for new indications. If any or all of our assumptions and estimates prove inaccurate, we may not attain our business, operational and financial goals.

Risks Related to Intellectual Property

We depend on intellectual property licensed from Pfizer for our lead product candidate, and termination of this license could result in the loss of significant rights, which would materially and adversely impact our business.

We are dependent on patents and know-how, both our own and licensed from Pfizer. Key patents covering gedatolisib and any combination therapies using our product candidates are licensed from Pfizer pursuant to the Gedatolisib License Agreement. All patents covering gedatolisib and any combination therapies using our product candidates are licensed from third parties. Any termination of the product license could result in the loss of significant rights and would cause material adverse harm to our ability to commercialize our product candidates. Any termination of a product license could result in the loss of significant rights and would cause material adverse harm to our ability to commercialize our product candidates.

Disputes may also arise between us and Pfizer regarding intellectual property subject to the Gedatolisib License Agreement, including:

If disputes over intellectual property that we have licensed prevent or impair our ability to maintain our current licensing arrangements on acceptable terms, we may be unable to successfully develop and commercialize the affected product candidates.

We are generally also subject to all of the same risks with respect to protection of intellectual property that we own, as we are for intellectual property that we license. If we or our licensors fail to adequately protect this intellectual property, our ability to commercialize products could materially suffer.

If we fail to comply with our obligations under our patent license with Pfizer, we could lose license rights that are important to our business.

We are a party to a license agreement with Pfizer pursuant to which we in-license key patents for gedatolisib. This license imposes various diligence, milestone payment, royalty, insurance and other obligations on us. If we fail to comply with these obligations, Pfizer may have the right to terminate the license, in which event we would not be able to develop or market the products covered by such licensed intellectual property. Further, we cannot be certain that the activities conducted by Pfizer, or its predecessors, were performed in compliance with applicable laws and regulations or will result in additional valid and enforceable patents and other intellectual property rights. For example, we cannot be certain that such activities by these licensors have been or will be conducted in compliance with applicable laws and regulations or will result in valid and enforceable patents and other intellectual property rights.

We may not be successful in obtaining or maintaining necessary rights to develop any future product candidates on acceptable terms.

Our clinical trials and other programs currently, and may in the future, involve additional product candidates that require the use of, or reliance on, proprietary rights held by third parties. Accordingly, the growth of our business depends in part on our ability to acquire, in-license or use these proprietary rights. We may be unable to acquire or in-license any compositions, methods of use, processes or other third-party intellectual property rights from third parties that we identify as necessary or important to our business operations. We may fail to obtain any of these licenses at a reasonable cost or on reasonable terms, if at all, which could harm our business. We may need to cease use of the compositions or methods covered by such third-party intellectual property rights, and may need to seek to develop alternative approaches that do not infringe on such intellectual property rights which may entail additional costs and development delays, even if we were able to develop such alternatives, which may not be feasible. Even if we are able to obtain a license, it may be non-exclusive, thereby giving our competitors access to the same technologies licensed to us. In that event, we may be required to expend significant time and resources to develop or license replacement technology.

The licensing and acquisition of third-party intellectual property rights is a competitive area, and companies that may be more established or have greater resources than we do may also be pursuing strategies to license or acquire third-party intellectual property rights that we may consider necessary or attractive in order to commercialize our product candidates. More established companies may have a competitive advantage over us due to their size, cash resources and greater clinical development and commercialization capabilities. There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully complete such negotiations and ultimately acquire the rights to the intellectual property surrounding the additional product candidates that we may seek to acquire.

If we are not able to prevent disclosure of our trade secrets and other proprietary information, the value of our products could be significantly diminished.

We rely on trade secret protection to protect our interests in proprietary know-how and in processes for which patents are difficult to obtain or enforce. We may not be able to protect our trade secrets adequately. We have a policy of requiring our consultants, advisors and strategic partners to enter into confidentiality agreements and our employees to enter into invention, non-disclosure and restrictive covenant agreements. However, no assurance can be given that we have entered into appropriate agreements with all parties that have had access to our trade secrets, know-how or other proprietary information. There is also no assurance that such agreements will provide meaningful protection of our trade secrets, know-how or other proprietary information in the event of any unauthorized use or disclosure of information. Furthermore, we cannot provide assurance that any of our employees, consultants, contract personnel, or strategic partners, either accidentally or through willful misconduct, will not cause serious damage to our programs and/or our strategy, for example by disclosing important trade secrets, know-how or proprietary information to our competitors. It is also possible that our trade secrets, know-how or other proprietary information could be obtained by third parties as a result of breaches of our physical or electronic security systems. Any disclosure of confidential data into the public domain or to third parties could allow our competitors to learn our trade secrets and use the information in competition against us. In addition, others may independently discover our trade secrets and proprietary information. Any action to enforce our rights is likely to be time consuming and expensive, and may ultimately be unsuccessful, or may result in a remedy that is not commercially valuable. These risks are accentuated in foreign countries where laws or law enforcement practices may not protect proprietary rights as fully as in the United States. Any unauthorized disclosure of our trade secrets or proprietary information could harm our competitive position.

We may be subject to claims by employees claiming ownership of what we regard as our own intellectual property.

While it is our policy to require our employees and contractors who may be involved in the development of intellectual property to execute agreements assigning such intellectual property to us, we may be unsuccessful in executing such an agreement with each party who in fact develops intellectual property that we regard as our own. Our and their assignment agreements may not be self-executing or may be breached, and we may be forced to bring claims against third parties, or defend claims they may bring against us, to determine the ownership of what we regard as our intellectual property. If we fail in prosecuting or defending any such claims, in addition to paying monetary damages, we may lose valuable intellectual property rights or personnel. Even if we are successful in prosecuting or defending against such claims, litigation could result in substantial costs and be a distraction to management.

If we are unable to obtain and maintain intellectual property protection for our product candidates, or if the scope of the intellectual property protection obtained is not sufficiently broad, our competitors could develop and commercialize product candidates similar or identical to ours, and our ability to successfully commercialize our product candidates may be impaired.

We have applied for patents that protect our product candidates, and our patent portfolio for our drug candidate, gedatolisib, includes 13 issued patents in the U.S. and more than 297 patents granted in numerous foreign jurisdictions. We cannot ensure that our intellectual property position will not be challenged or that all patents for which we have applied will be granted. We cannot know with certainty whether we were the first to make the inventions claimed in our owned or licensed patents or pending patent applications, or that we were the first to file for patent protection of such inventions.

The patent prosecution process is expensive and time-consuming, and we may not be able to file, prosecute, maintain, enforce or license all necessary or desirable patent applications at a reasonable cost or in a timely manner, or in all jurisdictions. We may choose not to seek patent protection for certain innovations and may choose not to pursue patent protection in certain jurisdictions, and under the laws of certain jurisdictions, patents or other intellectual property rights may be unavailable or limited in scope. Additionally, the laws and regulations governing patents could change in unpredictable ways that would weaken our ability to obtain new patents or to enforce our existing patents and patents that we might obtain in the future. There also may be patent reforms in foreign jurisdictions that could increase the uncertainties and costs surrounding the prosecution of our patent applications and the enforcement or defense of our issued patents in those jurisdictions. It is also possible that we will fail to identify patentable aspects of our discovery and nonclinical development output before it is too late to obtain patent protection.

As a result of these factors, the issuance, scope, validity, enforceability and commercial value of our patent rights are highly uncertain. Our pending and future patent applications may not result in patents being issued that protect our product candidates, in whole or in part, or which effectively prevent others from commercializing competitive product candidates. Our pending and future patent applications may not result in patents being issued that protect our technology or CELsignia tests, in whole or in part, or which effectively prevent others from commercializing competitive technologies and diagnostic tests. Moreover, given the amount of time required for the development, testing and regulatory review of new product candidates, patents protecting such candidates might expire before or shortly after such candidates are commercialized. Moreover, given the amount of time required for the development, testing and regulatory review of new diagnostic tests, patents protecting such tests might expire before or shortly after such candidates are commercialized. As a result, our owned patent portfolio may not provide us with sufficient rights to exclude others from commercializing products similar or identical to ours.

Third parties may initiate legal proceedings alleging that we are infringing their intellectual property rights, the outcome of which would be uncertain and could have a material adverse effect on the success of our business.

The commercial success of our products depends upon our ability to manufacture, market and sell our products without infringing the proprietary rights of third parties. There is considerable intellectual property litigation in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries. There is considerable intellectual property litigation in the medical technology, biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries. We may become party to, or threatened with, future adversarial proceedings or litigation regarding intellectual property rights with respect to our products. Additionally, because current and future employees may have been previously employed at universities or other biotechnology, diagnostic technology or pharmaceutical companies, including our competitors or potential competitors and strategic partners, third parties may assert infringement claims against us based on existing patents or patents that may be granted in the future, or they may allege that our employees or we have used or disclosed intellectual property, including trade secrets or other proprietary information, of any such employee’s former employer. Litigation may be necessary to defend against these claims.

Patent litigation could result in loss of exclusivity or freedom to operate or in patent claims being narrowed, invalidated or held unenforceable, in whole or in part, which could limit our ability to stop others from using or commercializing similar product candidates, or limit the duration of the patent protection of our products. If we are found to infringe a third party’s intellectual property rights, we could be required to obtain additional licenses from such third party to continue developing and marketing our applicable products. However, we may not be able to obtain any required license on commercially reasonable terms or at all. Even if we were able to obtain a license, it could be non-exclusive, thereby giving our competitors access to the same technologies licensed to us. We could be forced, including by court order, to cease commercializing the infringing technology or product.

In addition, we could be found liable for monetary damages, including treble damages and attorneys’ fees if we are found to have willfully infringed a patent. A finding of infringement could prevent us from commercializing our products or force us to cease some of our business operations, which could materially harm our business. Claims that we have misappropriated the confidential information or trade secrets of third parties could have a similar negative impact on our business.

Any lawsuits relating to infringement of intellectual property rights necessary to defend ourselves or enforce our rights will be costly and time consuming and could be unsuccessful.

Because competition in our industry is intense, competitors may infringe or otherwise violate our issued patents, patents of our licensors or other intellectual property. To counter infringement or unauthorized use, we may be required to file infringement claims, which can be expensive and time consuming, and could distract our technical and management personnel from their normal responsibilities. Any claims we assert against perceived infringers could provoke these parties to assert counterclaims against us alleging that we infringe their patents. In addition, in a patent infringement proceeding, a court may decide that a patent of ours is invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, construe the patent’s claims narrowly or refuse to stop the other party from using the technology at issue on the grounds that our patents do not cover the technology in question. An adverse result in any litigation proceeding could put one or more of our patents at risk of being invalidated or interpreted narrowly. We may also elect to enter into license agreements in order to settle patent infringement claims or to resolve disputes prior to litigation, and any such license agreements may require us to pay royalties and other fees that could be significant. Furthermore, because of the substantial amount of discovery required in connection with intellectual property litigation, there is a risk that some of our confidential information could be compromised by disclosure.

Risks Related to Our Reliance on Third Parties

We rely on third parties to conduct certain aspects of our preclinical studies and clinical trials. If these third parties do not successfully carry out their contractual duties, meet expected deadlines or comply with regulatory requirements, we may not be able to obtain regulatory approval for, or commercialize, any potential product candidates.

We depend upon third parties to execute certain aspects of our operational plans and to conduct certain aspects of our preclinical studies. Additionally, we depend on third parties, including independent investigators, to conduct our clinical trials, under agreements with universities, medical institutions, CROs, strategic partners and others. Additionally, we depend on third parties, including independent investigators, to conduct our clinical trials, under agreements with universities, medical institutions, contract research organizations, or CROs, strategic partners and others. Our reliance on third parties may affect our development timelines and increase our costs.

We have limited control over third-party clinical investigators and limited visibility into their day-to-day activities, including with respect to their compliance with the approved clinical protocol. Nevertheless, we are responsible for ensuring that each of our clinical trials is conducted in accordance with the applicable protocol, legal and regulatory requirements and scientific standards. We and these third parties are required to comply with GCP requirements, which are regulations and guidelines enforced by the FDA and comparable foreign regulatory authorities for product candidates in clinical development. Regulatory authorities enforce these GCP requirements through periodic inspections of clinical trial sponsors, clinical investigators and clinical trial sites. If we or any of these third parties fail to comply with applicable GCP requirements, the clinical data generated in our clinical trials may be deemed unreliable and the FDA or comparable foreign regulatory authorities may require us to suspend or terminate these trials or perform additional preclinical studies or clinical trials before approving our marketing applications. Moreover, our business may be adversely affected if any of these third parties violates federal or state fraud and abuse or false claims laws and regulations or healthcare privacy and security laws.

Any third parties conducting aspects of our preclinical studies or our clinical trials will not be our employees and, except for remedies that may be available to us under our agreements with such third parties, we cannot control whether or not they devote sufficient time and resources to our preclinical studies and clinical programs. These third parties may also have relationships with other commercial entities, including our competitors, for whom they may also be conducting clinical trials or other product development activities, which could affect their performance on our behalf. If these third parties do not successfully carry out their contractual duties or obligations or meet expected deadlines, if they need to be replaced or if the quality or accuracy of the preclinical or clinical data they obtain is compromised due to the failure to adhere to our protocols or regulatory requirements or for other reasons, our development timelines, including clinical development timelines, may be extended, delayed or terminated and we may not be able to complete development of, obtain regulatory approval of or successfully commercialize our product candidates. As a result, our financial results and the commercial prospects for our product candidates would be harmed, our costs could increase and our ability to generate revenue could be delayed or precluded entirely.

Our reliance on third parties to formulate, manufacture and distribute our drug product exposes us to risks that may delay the development, regulatory approval and commercialization of our drug product or result in higher product and operational costs.

We do not directly formulate, manufacture or distribute our drug product candidate and do not intend to establish our own formulation, manufacturing or distribution facilities. We have contracted with third-party contract manufacturers to formulate, manufacture and supply our drug product, and we use other third parties to package, store and distribute drug product for our clinical trials. If our drug product receives FDA approval, we will rely on one or more third-party contract manufacturers to manufacture and package our commercial drug product, and we will use a 3PL to distribute our commercial drug product. If our drug product receives FDA approval, we will rely on one or more third-party contractors to manufacture our drugs.

Our reliance on a limited number of third-party manufacturers, including one primary manufacturer of the active ingredient gedatolisib, exposes us to risks that, among other things, we may be unable to identify manufacturers on acceptable terms or at all because the number of potential manufacturers is limited and the FDA must approve any replacement or additional manufacturer; our third-party manufacturers might be unable to manufacture our drugs in the volume and of the quality required to meet our clinical and/or commercial needs, if any; our contract manufacturers may not perform as agreed or may not remain in the contract manufacturing business for the time required to supply our clinical trials, or to successfully produce, store and distribute our products commercially; and our contract manufacturers may fail to comply with good manufacturing practice and other government regulations and corresponding foreign standards. Each of these risks could delay our clinical trials, the approval, if any, of our product candidates by the FDA, or the commercialization of our product candidates or result in higher costs or deprive us of potential product revenues.

Performance issues or price increases by our shipping carriers could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition, and harm our reputation and ability to provide our products on a timely basis.

Expedited, reliable shipping is essential to our operations. Should our shipping carriers encounter delivery performance issues such as loss, damage or destruction of our API or product, such occurrences may damage our reputation and adversely affect our business. Should our shipping carriers encounter delivery performance issues such as loss, damage or destruction of a sample, such occurrences may damage our reputation and lead to decreased demand for our services and increased cost and expense to our business. In addition, any significant increase in shipping rates could adversely affect our operating margins and results of operations. Similarly, strikes, severe weather, natural disasters or other service interruptions by delivery services we use would adversely affect our ability to receive and process product orders on a timely basis. There are only a few providers of overnight nationwide transport services, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain arrangements with providers on acceptable terms, if at all.

Other Risks Related to Government Regulation for Our Business

Failure to comply with applicable U.S. data security and privacy regulations may increase our operational costs.

Generally, we are not a covered entity under HIPAA, and our clinical operations are exempt from most state and federal data protection regulations. The personal data of clinical trial subjects collected by our CROs’ U.S. clinical sites is considered protected health information, or PHI, subject to the U.S. sites’ compliance with HIPAA. We will incur significant costs to establish and maintain data privacy safeguards and, if we are required to comply with HIPAA or U.S. state regulations in the future, our costs could increase further, which would negatively affect our operating results. Furthermore, we cannot guarantee that such safeguards have been and will continue to be adequate under applicable laws.

If we receive FDA approval and launch gedatolisib in the U.S., we expect to be subject to comprehensive state privacy laws. For example, the CCPA applies to personal information of consumers, business representatives, and employees, and requires covered businesses to provide specific disclosures related to a business’s processing of personal data, new operational practices, and requirements to respond to certain requests from California residents related to their personal data. For example, the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (the “CCPA”) applies to personal information of consumers, business representatives, and employees, and requires covered businesses to provide specific disclosures related to a business’s processing of personal data, new operational practices, and requirements to respond to certain requests from California residents related to their personal data. New regulations and enforcement actions related to the CCPA and similar state comprehensive privacy laws continue to impact how companies think about and establish compliance mechanisms across the U.S. U.S. privacy compliance is further complicated by inconsistent state laws that require complex operational frameworks for full compliance. Accordingly, the CCPA and other similar state laws may impact our business activities and increase our compliance costs, as well as our legal risks. Accordingly, the CCPA and other similar laws may impact our business activities and increase our compliance costs, as well as our legal risks. The regulatory framework for the collection, use, safeguarding, transfer and other processing of information is rapidly evolving and is likely to remain uncertain for the foreseeable future.

Evolving U.S. data privacy regulations may interrupt or delay our development, regulatory and commercialization activities and increase our cost of doing business, and could lead to government enforcement actions, private litigation and significant fines and penalties against us and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. Even if we are not determined to have violated these laws, government investigations into these issues typically require the expenditure of significant resources and generate negative publicity, which could harm our reputation and our business.

Compliance with global privacy and data security requirements could result in additional costs and liabilities to us or inhibit our ability to collect and process data globally, and the failure to comply with such requirements could subject us to significant fines and penalties, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Our CROs and clinical investigators involved in our clinical trials may collect, receive, store, process, use, generate, transfer, disclose, make accessible, protect, secure, dispose of, transmit and share (collectively, “process”) personal data as defined in data protection laws outside the U.S. Accordingly, we are subject to numerous foreign privacy and security laws regulating the collection, use, safeguarding, transfer and other processing of personal data.

Globally, virtually every jurisdiction in which we operate has established its own data security and privacy frameworks with which we must comply. For example, the collection, use, disclosure, transfer, or other processing of personal data regarding individuals in the UK, the EU, and the EEA, is subject to the UK GDPR and EU GDPR (together, “UK/EU GDPR”), which is wide-ranging in scope and imposes numerous requirements on companies that process personal data, including requirements relating to the processing of health and other sensitive data, obtaining consent of the individuals to whom the personal data relates, providing information to individuals regarding data processing activities, implementing safeguards to protect the security and confidentiality of personal data, providing notification of data breaches, and taking certain measures when engaging third-party processors. For example, the collection, use, disclosure, transfer, or other processing of personal data regarding individuals in the European Economic Area (the “EEA”), including personal health data, is subject to the EU General Data Protection Regulation (the “GDPR”), which is wide-ranging in scope and imposes numerous requirements on companies that process personal data, including requirements relating to the processing of health and other sensitive data, obtaining consent of the individuals to whom the personal data relates, providing information to individuals regarding data processing activities, implementing safeguards to protect the security and confidentiality of personal data, providing notification of data breaches, and taking certain measures when engaging third-party processors. In addition, the UK/EU GDPR also imposes strict rules on the transfer of personal data to countries outside the UK/EU/EEA, including the U.S., and, as a result, increases the scrutiny that clinical trial sites located in the UK/EU/EEA should apply to transfers of personal data from such sites to countries that are considered to lack an adequate level of data protection, such as the U.S. The UK/EU GDPR also permits data protection authorities to require destruction of improperly gathered or used personal information and/or impose substantial fines for violations of the UK/EU GDPR, which can be up to 4% of global revenue or £17 million/€20 million, whichever is greater, and it also confers a private right of action on data subjects and consumer associates to lodge complaints with supervisory authorities, seek judicial remedies, and obtain compensation for damages resulting from violations of the UK/EU GDPR. In addition, the UK/EU GDPR provides that UK/EU/EEA member states may make their own further laws and regulations limiting the processing of personal data, including genetic, biometric or health data. In addition, the GDPR provides that EU member states may make their own further laws and regulations limiting the processing of personal data, including genetic, biometric or health data. Given the breadth and depth of changes in data protection obligations, preparing for and complying with these requirements is rigorous and time intensive and requires significant resources and a review of our technologies, systems and practices, as well as those of any third-party collaborators, service providers, contractors or consultants that process or transfer personal data collected in the UK/EU/EEA.

Evolving data privacy regulations may interrupt or delay our development, regulatory and commercialization activities and increase our cost of doing business, and could lead to government enforcement actions, private litigation and significant fines and penalties against us and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. Even if we are not determined to have violated these laws, government investigations into these issues typically require the expenditure of significant resources and generate negative publicity, which could harm our reputation and our business.

We will also need to expend a considerable amount of resources complying with other federal, state and foreign laws and regulations. If we are unable to comply or have not complied with such laws, we could face substantial penalties or other adverse actions.

Our operations are subject, directly or indirectly, to other federal, state and foreign laws and regulations that are complex and their application to our specific products, services and relationships may not be clear and may be applied to our business in ways that we do not anticipate. Compliance with laws and regulations will require us to expend considerable resources implementing internal policies and procedures for compliance and ongoing monitoring and will require significant attention of our management team. This will be challenging as an early-stage company with limited financial resources and human capital. These laws include, for example:

Many states and foreign governments have adopted similar laws and regulations. Violations of law could subject us to civil or criminal penalties, monetary fines, disgorgement, individual imprisonment, contractual damages, reputational harm, diminished profits and future earnings and curtailment of our operations. We could also be required to change or terminate some portions of operations or business or could be disqualified from providing services to healthcare providers doing business with government programs.

Disruptions at the FDA and other government agencies from funding cuts, personnel losses, leadership changes, regulatory reform, government shutdowns and other developments could hinder our ability to obtain guidance from the FDA regarding our clinical development programs and develop and secure approval of our product candidates in a timely manner, which would negatively impact our business.

The FDA and comparable regulatory agencies in foreign jurisdictions, such as the EMA, play an important role in the development of our product candidates by providing guidance on our clinical development programs and reviewing our regulatory submissions, including NDAs, INDs, requests for special designations and marketing applications. If these oversight and review activities are disrupted, then correspondingly our ability to develop and secure timely approval of our product candidates could be impacted in a negative manner.

For example, the loss of FDA leadership and personnel and new leadership at the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, the FDA and the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research could lead to disruptions and delays in FDA guidance and review and approval of our product candidate. Further, while the FDA’s review of marketing applications and other activities for new drugs is largely funded through the user fee program established under PDUFA, it remains unclear how the administration’s recent reduction in force and budget cuts will impact this program and the ability of the FDA to provide guidance and review our product candidate in a timely manner.

There is also substantial uncertainty as to how regulatory reform measures being implemented by the Trump Administration across the government will impact the FDA and other federal agencies with jurisdiction over our activities. For example, since taking office, the President has issued a number of executive orders that could have a significant impact on the manner in which the FDA conducts its operations and engages in regulatory and oversight activities.

Accordingly, if any of the foregoing developments and others impact the ability of the FDA to provide us with guidance regarding our clinical development programs or delay the agency’s review of our regulatory submissions, including the NDA we submitted in November 2025 that was accepted by the FDA in January 2026, our business would be negatively impacted.

Risks Relating to Our Common Stock

Provisions in our corporate charter documents and under Delaware law could make an acquisition of our company, which may be beneficial to our stockholders, more difficult and may prevent attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management.

Provisions in our certificate of incorporation and our bylaws may discourage, delay or prevent a merger, acquisition or other change in control of our company that stockholders may consider favorable, including transactions in which you might otherwise receive a premium for your shares. These provisions could also limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock, thereby depressing the market price of our common stock. In addition, because our board of directors will be responsible for appointing the members of our management team, these provisions may frustrate or prevent any attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management by making it more difficult for stockholders to replace members of our board of directors. Among other things, these provisions:

Moreover, we are governed by the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which prohibits a person who owns in excess of 15% of our outstanding voting stock from merging or combining with us for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person acquired in excess of 15% of our outstanding voting stock, unless the merger or combination is approved in a prescribed manner.

Any of these provisions of our charter documents or Delaware law could, under certain circumstances, depress the market price of our common stock.

The price of our common stock may be volatile and fluctuate substantially, which could result in substantial losses for purchasers of our common stock or could subject us to securities litigation.

Our stock price may be extremely volatile. The stock market in general and the market for smaller medical technology companies in particular have experienced extreme volatility that has often been unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. As a result of this volatility, investors may not be able to sell our common stock at or above the price they paid for such stock. The market price for our common stock may be influenced by many factors, including:

Additionally, companies that have experienced volatility in the market price of their stock have been subject to an increased incidence of securities class action litigation. We may be the target of this type of litigation in the future. Securities litigation against us could result in substantial costs and divert our management’s attention from other business concerns, which could seriously harm our business.

Future sales of shares of our common stock, including by us and significant stockholders, could negatively affect our stock price.

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market could occur at any time. Since December 2023, we have issued 6,478,782 shares of common stock pursuant to equity financing arrangements, including pursuant to our Open Market Sale Agreement^SM with Jefferies LLC (“Jefferies”), as agent, pursuant to which we may currently offer and sell, from time to time, through Jefferies, shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $400.0 million, all of which remains available for sale. In addition, in August 2025, we issued and sold in a public offering $201.3 million aggregate principal amount of Notes, which would result in the issuance of 3,923,002 shares if the Notes were converted in full as of December 31, 2025. We may enter into additional equity or convertible debt financing arrangements in the future. The shares of common stock that we have issued pursuant to equity financings, or may issue in the future pursuant to equity or convertible debt financings, may be resold at any time in the discretion of the investors. The shares of common stock that we have issued pursuant to equity financings, or may issue in the future, may be resold at any time in the discretion of the investors.

Under our A&R Loan Agreement, as amended by the First Amendment to the A&R Loan Agreement, the Second Amendment to A&R Loan Agreement and the Third Amendment to the A&R Loan Agreement, Innovatus Life Sciences Lending Fund I, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Innovatus”), has the right, at its election and until May 9, 2026, to convert up to 20% of the outstanding principal of the Term A Loan into shares of the Company’s common stock at a price per share of $10.00. In addition, Innovatus continues to have the right to exercise a previously disclosed warrant to purchase 26,042 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $14.40 per share, and Innovatus and Oxford Finance LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and certain of its affiliates, continue to have the right to exercise previously disclosed warrants to purchase 154,413 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $14.84 per share.

Sales of substantial amounts of shares of our common stock or other securities by these investors or our other stockholders or by us under the Open Market Sale Agreement^SM, or the perception in the market that the holders of a large number of shares of our common stock intend to sell their shares, could reduce the trading price of our common stock, make it more difficult for you to sell your shares at a price that you desire and impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of equity or equity-related securities.
