The company said it expects milestones for its lead candidate, micvotabart pelidotin, this year, and remains on track to share updated monotherapy data in the middle of 2026 as well as updated combination data in the second half of the year.
Micvotabart pelidotin is designed to treat solid tumors, targeting a component of the tumor extracellular matrix.
The company expects to have cash runway into the fourth quarter.
