Program Termination | Program Termination On November 12, 2024, the Company announced the discontinuation of the global clinical development program for SerpinPC, a novel inhibitor of activated protein C (APC) that was being progressed for the treatment of hemophilia B. The strategic decision was made to prioritize capital towards the development of our growing OX2R agonist franchise based on the strength of the interim Phase 1 data for ORX750, coupled with the outcome of a planned interim analysis of Part 1 of the PRESent-2 study of SerpinPC, which was evaluated in the context of the evolving treatment and market landscape for hemophilia B, including the recent FDA approval of a competing product. In the fourth quarter of 2024, as a result of the discontinuation of the program, we incurred a one-time charge of $31.5 million, consisting of contract termination costs of $30.3 million and employee severance related costs of $1.2 million, which was recorded within research and development expenses. The contract termination costs related to firm commitments for the manufacture of registrational materials and other costs. The contract termination and employee severance costs associated with this program discontinuation were predominately accrued as of December 31, 2024. The Company expects the remaining balance as of June 30, 2025 will be fully extinguished by the end of December 2025. The following table provides a roll-forward of the program termination liability as of June 30, 2025 (in thousands):
