Master Service Agreement
In September 2020, the Company entered into a Master Service Agreement (the “MSA”) with Therapeutics, Inc. (“TI”). The MSA provides the terms and conditions upon which the Company may engage TI for the purpose of managing the preclinical and clinical development of its products in the field of dermatology, and other related services or projects, by executing work orders specifying the details of the service and the related terms and conditions. The MSA automatically renews for additional 1-year terms until the MSA is terminated upon written notice. Either party may terminate a work order for material breach (subject to a cure period) and the Company may terminate any work order for any reason on 90 days’ written notice, subject to payment of fees earned and expenses payable, in addition to a termination fee equal to a low-double-digit percentage of the remaining work order budget. As of September 30, 2026, there are no outstanding work order cancellation fees.
During the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company recognized research and development expense of $8.0 million and $13.0 million, respectively, in connection with the MSA. During the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company recognized research and development expense of $27.7 million and $29.7 million, respectively, in connection with the MSA. As of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company has deposits with TI of $9.2 million and $8.5 million, respectively and net prepaid balances with TI of $4.6 million and $4.1 million, respectively. These are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets on its condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Collaboration Agreement
In September 2020, the Company entered into a Collaboration Agreement with TI, pursuant to which TI serves as the exclusive provider of certain clinical trial management, regulatory, and related CRO services through completion of Work Order Number One of the MSA noted herein. In connection with the agreement, the Company issued TI an unsecured convertible promissory note with a principal amount of approximately $0.5 million, which was converted into 238,008 shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock in September 2021. The agreement may be terminated by the Company upon payment of a mid-six-figure liquidated damages amount, subject to reduction based on completed in-human clinical studies. As of September 30, 2026, there are no outstanding termination fees.
