Operating expenses | Operating expensesNote 19.1. Sales and marketing
The sales and marketing expenses as of June 30, 2025 consist primarily in consulting costs associated with market research in preparation for the Group's future sales and commercialization efforts in the U.S. The decrease for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2025 compared to June 30, 2024 was predominantly driven by a reduction in headcount as well as one-time costs that were incurred in 2024 for our corporate re-branding, including our new website. Note 19.2. Research and developmentResearch and development expenses break down as follows:
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2025, research and development expenses were €77,946 thousand, as compared to €64,650 thousand for the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, and consisted primarily of expenses related to the UC clinical program for €51,929 thousand, the CD clinical program for €7,416 thousand, as well as transversal activities for €14,829 thousand. This increase was primarily due to a €6,499 thousand increase in expenses related to the CD program, resulting from the progression of the Phase 2b trials in CD and an increase in transversal activities related to the overall expansion of the research and development headcount to support the Group's organizational growth and the issuance of new equity awards to officers and employees in research and development. Similar factors have driven the increase for the three-month period ended June 30, 2025 compared to 2024. Note 19.3. General and administrative
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2025, general and administrative expenses were €16,303 thousand, as compared to €17,932 thousand for the six-month period ended June 30, 2024. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in personnel costs of €1,240 thousand, or 11%, mainly resulting from the expense recognition pattern of equity awards granted to certain of the Group's officers and employees, many of which were issued in connection with the Group's U.S. initial public offering and listing on Nasdaq in October 2023, as well as strict adherence to the approved budget, which includes savings through the gating of non essential spend. These were partially offset by increased legal and professional fees and other costs associated with operating as a dual-listed public company. Similar factors have driven the decrease for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2025 compared to 2024.
