| Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies There have been no material changes to the significant accounting policies previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the “Annual Report”). Basis of Presentation The unaudited condensed financial statements include the accounts of the Company and have been prepared by the Company in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Accordingly, these condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and the notes thereto in the Annual Report. Unaudited Financial Information In the opinion of management, the information furnished reflects certain adjustments, all which are of a normal and recurring nature and are necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of the reported balance sheet date and of the Company’s results for the reported interim periods. The Company considers events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued to provide additional evidence relative to certain estimates or to identify matters that require additional disclosure. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year or any other interim period. Liquidity and Going Concern The Company has incurred net losses and negative cash flows from operations since its inception and has an accumulated deficit of $461 million as of June 30, 2026. Under the Company's current plan, management believes its cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities of $20.1 million as of June 30, 2026 will be sufficient to fund the Company's operations into the fourth quarter of 2026. However, the Company will need to obtain additional funding to sustain operations as it expects to continue to generate operating losses for the foreseeable future. The Company's expectation to generate negative operating cash flows in the future and the need for additional funding to support its planned operations raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans to alleviate the conditions that raise substantial doubt include completing the proposed merger with Avere Therapeutics, implementing restructuring activities designed to reduce operating expenditures, and pursuing partnership, licensing, sale and other opportunities to advance or monetize its legacy assets. While these plans are intended to improve the Company's liquidity position, the completion of the proposed merger and the concurrent private placement remains subject to stockholder approval and other closing conditions outside of the Company's control, and the Company's ability to monetize its legacy assets is uncertain. Accordingly, these plans are not considered probable of being effectively implemented and mitigating the substantial doubt within one year after the date the financial statements are issued. Accordingly, management has concluded that substantial doubt exists about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of the uncertainties described above. The Company’s future operations are highly dependent on the closing of the Merger and there can be no assurances that the Merger will be successfully consummated. If the Merger is not consummated, the Company believes that its cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2026 would be adequate to fund its operating expenses into the fourth quarter of 2026. However, in order to continue development of its programs, the Company would need to secure substantial additional funding in the future, from one or more equity or debt financings, collaborations, or other sources. Additional funding may not be available to the Company on acceptable terms, or at all. The Company’s Board of Directors may also decide to pursue a dissolution and liquidation in lieu of continuing program development in the event the Merger is not consummated. The Company intends to execute its strategic plan, including completing the proposed merger transaction, restructuring its activities, managing its legacy assets and obligations and seeking to monetize its legacy programs and intellectual property.
Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of assets and liabilities as of the date of the condensed financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Although actual results could differ from those estimates, management does not believe that such differences would be material. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements The Company considers the applicability and impact of all Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board. All other ASUs issued subsequent to the filing of the Company’s Annual Report were assessed and determined to be either inapplicable or not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. |
