We have ceased marketing and selling our onlyprevious commercial product in the U.S. and Canada and will therefore not continue to generate revenue from this product for the treatment of ALS. We expect to generate significant losses for the foreseeable future.
We have entered and may in the future enter into collaborations with third parties for the development and commercialization of avexitide, AMX0035AMX0035, AMX0114, AMX0318 or any other current or future product candidates, and our prospects with respect to avexitide, AMX0035AMX0035, AMX0114, AMX0318 and our other current or future product candidates will depend in significant part on the success of those collaborations.
The markets for avexitide for PBH, and congenitalCongenital HI, for AMX0035 for Wolfram syndrome, PSPsyndrome and other neurodegenerative diseases, and for any other product candidates we are currently developing or may in the future develop or acquire may be smaller than we expect.
Our use of third parties to manufacture avexitide or AMX0035 in compliance with cGMP may increase the risk that we will not have sufficient cGMP-compliant quantities of avexitide or AMX0035 or necessary quantities of such materials on time or at an acceptable cost.
We are continuously evaluating and pursuing strategic transactions, and cannot guarantee that previous or future strategic transactions, acquisitions or business combinations pursued to further our mission to improve our underlying business performance will, in fact, produce any benefits.

We have ceased marketing and selling our onlyprevious commercial product in the U.S. and Canada and will therefore not continue to generate revenue from this product for the treatment of ALS. We expect to generate significant losses for the foreseeable future.
Investment in biopharmaceutical product development is highly speculative because it entails substantial upfront capital expenditures and significant risk that any potential product candidate will fail to demonstrate adequate effect or an acceptable safety profile, gain regulatory approval and become commercially viable. We invested substantial resources into our product development efforts of AMX0035, and toward the commercialization of AMX0035 as RELYVRIO for ALS, which was approved by the FDA, and ALBRIOZA and, received marketing authorization with conditions from Health Canada. We voluntarily discontinued the marketing authorizations for RELYVRIO/ALBRIOZA for ALS and removed the product from the market in the U.S. and Canada based on topline results from the Phase 3 PHOENIX trial, which failed to meet its prespecified primary and secondary endpoints. Following the withdrawal of RELYVRIO/ALBRIOZA from the market in the US and Canada, respectively, we do not have any products approved for commercial sale and we will continue to incur significant research and development and other expenses related to clinical development and potential approvals for our current and future product candidates, including for avexitide, AMX0035 and AMX0114 in additional indications other than ALS, and for ongoing operations. Since our inception, we have devoted the majority of our financial resources and efforts to research and development, including preclinical studies and our clinical trials, preparation for commercialization and commercialization activities. Our financial condition and operating results, including our revenues, expenses and net income (loss), have in the past and are likely in the future to fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter and year to year. For example, we generated revenues of $380.8 million in 2023 as a result of sales of RELYVRIO/ALBRIOZA, but following its withdrawal, we will no longer generate revenues from this product. Accordingly, you should not rely upon the results of any prior quarterly or annual periods as indications of future operating performance. Additionally, net losses and negative cash flows have had, and may in the future have, an adverse effect on our stockholders’ equity and working capital. As of December 31, 2024,2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $606.7$751.4 million.
conduct clinical trials of avexitide, AMX0035AMX0035, AMX0114, AMX0318 and any other current or future product candidates;
prepare for commercialization, including drug product and drug substance manufacturing;
seek regulatory approvals for avexitideavexitide, AMX0035, AMX0114 or AMX0035AMX0318 in indications that successfully complete clinical development; and acquire or in-license other product candidates, products or technologies.
Our ability to once again become and to remain profitable depends on our ability to generate revenue. While we have a limited history of generating revenue from the commercialization of RELYVRIO/ALBRIOZA, we do not expect to generate additional significant revenue, if any, unless and until we, either alone or with a collaborator, are able to obtain regulatory approval for, and successfully commercialize, avexitide, AMX0035 for indications other than ALS or any other current or future product candidates or products we may develop or in-license. Successful commercialization will require achievement of many key milestones, which vary by jurisdiction and may include demonstrating safety and efficacy in clinical trials, obtaining regulatory, including marketing, approval for these product candidates, manufacturing, marketing and selling those products for which we, or any of our future collaborators, may obtain regulatory approval, satisfying any post-marketing requirements and obtaining reimbursement for our products from private insurance or government payors. Because of the uncertainties and risks associated with these activities, we are unable to accurately and precisely predict the timing and amount of revenues, if any, the extent of any further losses or if or when we might achieve profitability. We and any future collaborators may never succeed in these activities and, even if we do, or any future collaborators do, we may never generate revenues that are large enough for us to achieve profitability. Even if we do achieve profitability, we may not be able to sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis.
our ability to manufacture and deliver clinical supply of avexitide or AMX0035;
our ability to obtain regulatory approval for our product candidates;
business interruptions such as power outages, strikes, acts of terrorism or natural disasters; and the ultimate impact of domestic and global economic and geopolitical events.
We mayexpect we will require substantial additional funding in the future to meet our financial needs and to pursue our business objectives. If we are unable to obtain funding if and when needed, we could be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate our product discovery and development activities or commercialization efforts.
Our operations have consumed substantial amounts of cash since inception. We expect to spend substantial amounts to continue the clinical development of avexitide, the clinical development of AMX0035 in indications other than ALS, and for the preclinical and clinical development of additional product candidates, or in the in-license, acquisition or development of other product candidates or products. If we are unable to obtain additional marketing approvals for avexitide, AMX0035, or for any other current or future product candidates that we develop, in-license or acquire, we may require significant additional amounts of cash in order to continue to develop avexitide, AMX0035AMX0035, AMX0114, AMX0318 and any other current or future product candidates and fund our operations. In addition, other unanticipated costs may arise in the course of our development efforts. Because the design and outcome of our ongoing and anticipated clinical trials is highly uncertain, we cannot reasonably estimate the actual amounts necessary to successfully complete the development and commercialization of any product candidate we develop.
the scope, progress, results and costs of researching and developing avexitide, AMX0035 for Wolfram syndrome, PSPsyndrome and potential additional indications, AMX0114, AMX0318, as well as any other product candidates we are currently developing or may in the future develop;
the timing of, and the costs involved in, our efforts to obtain marketing approvals for avexitide in PBH, AMX0035 for the treatment of Wolfram syndrome, PSPsyndrome and potential additional indications, AMX0114, AMX0318, and our efforts to obtain approvals for other product candidates we are developing or may in the future develop and pursue;
We cannot be certain that additional funding will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. As a result of the challenges caused by economic uncertainty in variousdomestic and global markets due to geopolitical instability and conflict, including the ongoing wars in Ukraine and Israel, the conflict in the Middle East, a new U.S. presidential administration and accompanyingevolving regulatory activities and economicpolicy policies,changes under the current U.S. government, the global credit and financial markets have experienced in recent periods significant volatility and disruptions, including diminished liquidity and credit availability, declines in consumer confidence, changes to rates of inflation and interest rates and uncertainty about economic and global stability. If the equity and credit markets continue to deteriorate, it may make any necessary debt or equity financing impossible or more difficult, more costly or more dilutive.
We have no committed source of additional capital and if we are unable to raise additional capital or secure other financing, if needed, in sufficient amounts or on terms acceptable to us, we may have to significantly delay, scale back or discontinue the development of avexitide, AMX0035AMX0035, AMX0114, AMX0318 or any other current or future product candidates or other research and development initiatives. We may need to seek collaborators for avexitide, AMX0035AMX0035, AMX0114, AMX0318 and any other current or future product candidates at an earlier stage than otherwise would be desirable or on terms that are less favorable than might otherwise be available or relinquish or license on unfavorable terms our rights to avexitide, AMX0035AMX0035, AMX0114, AMX0318 and any other current or future product candidates in markets where we otherwise would seek to pursue development or commercialization ourselves. Any of the above events could significantly harm our business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations and cause the price of our common stock to decline.
We believe our existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of December 31, 2024, along with the proceeds from the January follow-on 2025 offering ("January 2025 Offering"), will be sufficient to meetfund our anticipatedoperations operatinginto and capital expenditure requirements through 2026.2028. However, our estimate may prove to be wrong, and we could use our available capital resources sooner than we currently expect. Further, changing circumstances, some of which may be beyond our control, could cause us to consume capital significantly faster than we currently anticipate, and we may need to seek additional funds sooner than planned.
We expect our expenses to continue to increase in both the near term and long term in connection with our planned operations. Unless and until we can generate a substantial amount of revenue on a sustained basis, if at all, we mayexpect we will be required to finance our future cash needs through public or private equity offerings, royalty-based or debt financings, collaborations, licensing arrangements or other sources, or any combination of the foregoing. In addition, we may seek additional capital due to favorable market conditions or strategic considerations, even if we believe that we have sufficient funds for our current or future operating plans.
To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of common stock, convertible securities or other equity securities, your ownership interest may be diluted, and the terms of these securities could include liquidation or other preferences and anti-dilution protections that could adversely affect your rights as a common stockholder. In addition, debt financing, if available, may result in fixed payment obligations and may involve agreements that include restrictive covenants that limit our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures, creating liens, redeeming stock or declaring dividends, that could adversely impact our ability to conduct our business. Securing financing could also require a substantial amount of time and attention from our management and may divert a disproportionate amount of their attention away from day-to-day activities, which may adversely affect our management’s ability to oversee the development of avexitide, AMX0035AMX0035, AMX0114, AMX0318 or any future product candidates.
The rules dealing with U.S. federal, state, local and international income taxation are constantly under review by persons involved in the legislative process and by the Internal Revenue Service and the U.S. Treasury Department. For example, the OBBBA was signed into law on July 4, 2025 and made significant changes to the U.S. federal tax law. Changes to tax laws (which changes may have retroactive application) could adversely affect us or holders of our common stock. For example, under Section 174 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the IRC, in taxable years beginning after December 31, 2021, expenses that are incurred for research and development performed outside the U.S. will be capitalized and amortized, which may have an adverse effect on our cash flow. The OBBBA provides that for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2024, expenses that are incurred for research and development performed in the U.S. may, at the taxpayer’s election, be immediately deducted or capitalized and amortized. In addition, the OBBBA provides that for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2021 and before January 1, 2025, certain eligible taxpayers generally may elect to retroactively deduct expenses for research and development performed in the U.S. in such taxable years by filing amended tax returns for such taxable years, and all other taxpayers that are not eligible to make such an election and that amortized expenses for research and development performed in the U.S. in such taxable years generally may elect to accelerate and deduct the remaining unamortized amounts of such research and development expenses (i) in the first taxable year beginning after December 31, 2024, or (ii) ratably over the two-taxable year period beginning with the first taxable year beginning after December 31, 2024. In recent years, many changes to tax laws have been made and changes are likely to continue to occur in the future. The OBBBA also makes significant changes to the Medicaid, Medicare, and Health Insurance Marketplace federal healthcare programs. Changes include new requirements states must meet to maintain federal support for the Medicaid programs, as well as stricter criteria beneficiaries must meet to qualify for and maintain enrollment in federal healthcare programs. The effect of these changes could result in reductions in our patient population and managed care enrollees that we serve across our federal healthcare program lines of business due to, among other things, more stringent eligibility requirements such as the imposition of work or community service requirements, and copayments on many services, limitation of Medicaid eligibility to certain lawfully present individuals, and the effect of immigration enforcement actions which may discourage beneficiaries from applying or reapplying for federal healthcare benefits. These risks could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
In addition, Medicaid provider tax reform has been targeted by the current administration to reduce federal Medicaid spending, including restricting states from using provider taxes to help finance coverage of undocumented immigrants and cutting provider taxes and capping state-directed payments.
The rules dealing with U.S. federal, state, local and international income taxation are constantly under review by persons involved in the legislative process and by the Internal Revenue Service and the U.S. Treasury Department. Changes to tax laws (which changes may have retroactive application) could adversely affect us or holders of our common stock. In recent years, many such changes have been made and changes are likely to continue to occur in the future. Future changes in tax laws could have a material adverse effect on our business, cash flow, financial condition or results of operations. We urge investors to consult with their legal and tax advisers regarding the implications of potential changes in tax laws on an investment in our common stock.
Inflation and rapid increasesfluctuations in interest rates have led to a decline in the trading value of previously issued government securities with interest rates below current market interest rates. Although the U.S. Department of Treasury, FDICFederal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or FDIC, and Federal Reserve Board have announced a program to provide up to $25 billion of loans to financial institutions secured by certain government securities held by financial institutions to mitigate the risk of potential losses on the sale of such instruments, widespread demands for customer withdrawals or other liquidity needs of financial institutions for immediate liquidity may exceed the capacity of such program. Additionally, there is no guarantee that the U.S. Department of Treasury, FDIC and Federal Reserve Board will provide access to uninsured funds in the event of the closure of other banks or financial institutions in the future, or that they would do so in a timely fashion.
Our future success depends significantly on our ability to successfully develop, and obtain regulatory approvals for and commercialize, avexitide in PBH and AMX0035 in indications other than ALS, including Wolfram syndrome and PSP.syndrome. Avexitide has been evaluated in five Phase 1 and Phase 2 clinical studiestrials for PBH and has also been studied in Congenital HI. In February 2025, we activated the first sites for the pivotal Phase 3 LUCIDITY clinical trial for avexitide in PBH.PBH Toand date,in April 2025, we haveannounced obtainedthat limitedthe clinicalfirst trialparticipant had been dosed. Recruitment of LUCIDITY is complete. We continue to expect to randomize and dose the last eligible patients in Q1 2026 with topline data supporting AMX0035expected in indicationsQ3 other2026, thanand ALS,if having only completedapproved, a clinicalcommercial triallaunch in 95 patients with AD.2027. We arereported conductingpositive atopline results from the Phase 2 clinicalHELIOS trialtrial, an open-label study of AMX0035 in 12 adult participants with Wolfram syndrome,syndrome. At Week 24, stabilization or improvement was demonstrated across all key clinical measures, including pancreatic function, glycemic control, and avision. globalLong-term PhaseWeek 348 clinicaldata trialdemonstrated ofthat treatment with AMX0035 in PSP, and intendled to conductcontinued additionalsustained clinicalstabilization trialsor for other indications and product candidates in the future.improvement. Our business success depends heavily on our ability to successfully complete clinical trials for our product candidates. We have completed the IND enablingIND-enabling studies of AMX0114 in ALSALS, andfully enrolled cohort 1 (n=12) of the first site was activated for a Phase 1 multiple ascending dose, placebo-controlledLUMINA trial in CanadaALS in FebruarySeptember 2025.2025, and began enrolling cohort 2 (n=12) in December 2025 following the presentation of cohort 1 safety data demonstrating AMX0114 was generally well-tolerated, with no treatment-related serious AEs.
We will need to have sufficient funds for, and successfully complete, our clinical development of avexitide,avexitide in PBH, AMX0035 for the treatment of PSP, Wolfram syndrome and other indications, and AMX0114 in ALS.ALS, AMX0318 in PBH and other rare diseases, and any other product candidates we may develop or acquire.
The future regulatory and commercial success of avexitide, AMX0035AMX0035, AMX0114, AMX0318 or any other current or future product candidates are subject to a number of risks, including the following:
receipt and maintenance of designations from applicable regulatory authorities, including breakthrough designation for avexitide andavexitide, orphan designation for avexitide and AMX0035AMX0035, and Fast Track Designation for AMX0114;
making arrangements with third-party manufacturers, or establishing manufacturing capabilities, for both clinical and commercial supplies of avexitide, AMX0035AMX0035, AMX0114, AMX0318 or any other current or future product candidates;
entry into collaborations to further the development of avexitide, AMX0035AMX0035, AMX0114, AMX0318 or any other current or future product candidates;
appropriately identifying patients with the diseases targeted by avexitide, AMX0035AMX0035, AMX0114, AMX0318 or any other current or future product candidates and accurately estimating the size of applicable patient populations or disease prevalence;
In addition, of the large number of drugs in development in the pharmaceutical industry, only a small percentage result in the submission of marketing applications to regulatory authorities, and even fewer are approved for commercialization.
Furthermore, even if we do receive regulatory approval for our current or any of our future product candidates, any such approval may be subject to limitations on the indications or uses or the patient populations for which we may market the product. For example, our Phase 3 avexitide trial is in PBH following RYGB surgery, and the FDA may require that we provide additional clinical data to support an indication beyond PBH following RYGB surgery. Additionally, it is unknown whether disruptions and personnel turnover at the FDA, as a result of leadership changes, staff reductions or otherwise, may contribute to uncertainty in the regulatory approval process.
In addition, of the large number of drugs in development in the pharmaceutical industry, only a small percentage result in the submission of marketing applications to regulatory authorities, and even fewer are approved for commercialization. Furthermore, even if we do receive regulatory approval for our current or any of our future product candidates, any such approval may be subject to limitations on the indications or uses or the patient populations for which we may market the product. Additionally, we may not realize the full commercial potential of avexitide, AMX0035 or any other current or future product candidates that receive marketing approval if we are unable to appropriately identify patients with the diseases targeted by such product candidates. Accordingly, even if we are able to obtain the requisite financing to continue to fund our development activities, we cannot assure you that we will successfully develop or commercialize our current or any future product candidates for any indication in any jurisdiction. If we or any of our future collaborators are unable to develop, maintain, or obtain regulatory approvals for, or, if approved, successfully commercialize our current or any future product candidates for our initial or potential additional indications, we may not be able to generate sufficient revenue to continue our business. In addition, our failure to demonstrate positive results in our clinical trials in any indication for which we are developing our current product candidates, or to satisfy other regulatory requirements, could adversely affect our development efforts for avexitide, AMX0035 in other indications, AMX0114, or for AMX0114.AMX0318.
Under the FDA’s combination rule, the FDA generally will not file or approve an NDA for a fixed-dose combination product unless each component of a proposed drug product is shown to make a contribution to the claimed effects and the dosage of each component (amount, frequency, duration) is safe and effective for the intended population. For additional information on FDA’s combination rule, see the section entitled “Business—Government Regulation—Combination Rule for Fixed-Dose Combination Products” in our 2024this Annual Report.
Similar requirements may be imposed on us by the EMAEuropean Medicines Agency, or EMA, in the EU and comparable regulatory authorities in other jurisdictions where we intend to seek regulatory approval. For any fixed-dose combination products we may develop, we may be required to produce clinical data supporting the contribution of each component when present at the levels included in the fixed-dose combination in order to obtain marketing authorization in the U.S. or EU.
We have focused our research and development efforts on addressing neurodegenerative diseases and have only recently further expanded upon our existing development efforts in the endocrine and metabolic field with the acquisition of avexitide. This shift in focus may result in additional costs arising from operating expenses and hiring personnel, challenges with building our expertise in the endocrine and metabolic field, or diversion of management’s attention away from AMX0035. Historically, efforts by pharmaceutical companies in the field of neurodegenerative diseases have experienced limited successes in product development. The development of neurodegenerative therapies presents unique challenges, including an imperfect understanding of the biology, the presence of the blood brain barrier that can restrict the flow of drugs to the brain, a frequent lack of translatability of preclinical study results in subsequent clinical trials and dose selection, and the product candidate having an effect that may be too small to be detected using the outcome measures selected in clinical trials or if the outcomes measured do not reach statistical significance. There are few approved therapeutic options available for patients with ALS and other neurodegenerative disorders. Our future success is highly dependent on the successful development and commercialization of avexitide, AMX0035 and any other current or future product candidates for treating neurodegenerative diseases or for treating endocrine and metabolic disorders.conditions. Developing and commercializing avexitide, AMX0035 and any other current or future product candidates for treatment of neurodegenerative diseases or for treating PBH and Congenital HI subjects us to a number of challenges, including ensuring that we have developed or acquired the requisite expertise in these areas, selected the optimal doses, execute appropriate clinical trials to test for efficacy and obtain regulatory approval from the FDA and other comparable foreign regulatory authorities.
We, and any future collaborators, are not permitted to commercialize, market, promote or sell any product candidate in the U.S. or elsewhere without obtaining regulatory approval from the FDA and other comparable foreign regulatory authorities. Regulatory authorities in other jurisdictions may have similar requirements. The time required to obtain approval by the FDA and other comparable foreign regulatory authorities is unpredictable, and typically takes many years following the commencement of clinical trials and depends upon numerous factors, including substantial discretion of such regulatory authorities. In addition, approval policies, regulations, or the type and amount of clinical data necessary to gain approval may change during the course of a product candidate’s clinical development and may vary among jurisdictions. For example, the U.S. Supreme Court’s July 2024 decision to overturn prior established case law giving deference to regulatory agencies’ interpretations of ambiguous statutory language has introduced uncertainty regarding the extent to which the FDA’s regulations, policies, and decisions may become subject to increasing legal challenges, delays, and/or changes. In addition, the FDA in any approval needs to determine that there is substantial evidence of effectiveness. This finding can be substantiated based on two adequate and well-controlled studies, or in certain circumstances on a single, large, multicenter, adequate and well-controlled study that is very persuasive or from a single adequate and well-controlled study together with confirmatory evidence. FDA regulations and guidance also allow for greater flexibility and tolerance for uncertainty in the context of rare and fatal diseases.
Avexitide, AMX0035AMX0035, AMX0114, AMX0318 and any current or future product candidates could fail to obtain regulatory approvals, and any of our future product candidates could fail to obtain regulatory approvals, for many reasons, including the following:
the data collected from clinical trials of avexitide, AMX0035AMX0035, AMX0114, AMX0318 or any other current or future product candidates may not be sufficient to support the submission of an NDA or other submission to the FDA or other comparable foreign regulatory authority to obtain regulatory approval in the U.S. or elsewhere;
This lengthy approval process as well as the unpredictability of clinical trial results may result in our failing to obtain regulatory approval to market avexitide, AMX0035 or any future product candidate we develop, which would significantly harm our business, results of operations and prospects. There is no assurance that the endpoints and trial designs used for the approval of currently approved drugs for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases will be acceptable for future approvals, including for avexitide, AMX0035AMX0035, AMX0114, AMX0318 and any current or future product candidates. Similarly, there is no assurance that the endpoints and trial designs for avexitide will be acceptable for its future approval. The FDA and other comparable foreign authorities have substantial discretion in the approval process and determining when or whether regulatory approval will be obtained for any product candidate that we develop. Even if we believe the data collected from past or future clinical trials of avexitide, AMX0035AMX0035, AMX0114, AMX0318 or any other current or future product candidates are promising, such data may not be sufficient to support approval by the FDA or any other regulatory authority.
In addition, disruptions caused by any future public health crisis may increase the likelihood that we encounter difficulties or delays in initiating, screening, enrolling, conducting, or completing our ongoing and planned preclinical studies and clinical trials. Clinical site initiation and patient screening and enrollment may be delayed due to prioritization of hospital resources in the event of a future public health crisis. Investigators and patients may not be able to comply with clinical trial protocols if quarantines impede patient movement or interrupt healthcare services. Similarly, our ability to recruit and retain patients and principal investigators and site staff who, as healthcare providers, may have heightened exposure to such future highly infectious or contagious diseases, could be limited, which in turn could adversely impact our clinical trial operations. Additionally, we may experience interruption of key clinical trial activities, such as clinical trial site monitoring, due to limitations on travel, quarantines or social distancing protocols imposed or recommended by federal or state governments, employers and others in connection with any future outbreak of any highly infectious or contagious diseases. As a result of a future public health crisis, we may face delays in meeting our anticipated timelines for our ongoing and planned clinical trials.
Additionally, we may experience interruption of key clinical trial activities, such as clinical trial site monitoring, due to limitations on travel, quarantines or social distancing protocols imposed or recommended by federal or state governments, employers and others in connection with any future outbreak of any highly infectious or contagious diseases. As a result of a future public health crisis, we may face delays in meeting our anticipated timelines for our ongoing and planned clinical trials.
In addition, regulatory authorities may subject our clinical or manufacturing operations to inspections, including routine surveillance, bioresearch monitoring and pre-approval inspections. In addition, even if we were to obtain approval, regulatory authorities may approve avexitide, AMX0035 or any other current or future product candidates for fewer or more limited indications than we request, may not approve the price we intend to charge for our products, may grant approval contingent on the performance of costly post-marketing preclinical studies and clinical trials, or may approve a product candidate with a label that does not include the labeling claims necessary or desirable for the successful commercialization of that product candidate. Any of the foregoing scenarios could materially harm the commercial prospects for avexitide, AMX0035 or any other current or future product candidates. Some of these efforts have manifested to date in the form of personnel measures that could impact the FDA’s ability to hire and retain key personnel, which could result in delays in or limitations on our ability to obtain guidance from the FDA on our product candidates in development and obtain the requisite regulatory approvals in the future.
There remains general uncertainty regarding future activities involving the Trump administration. The Trump administration could issue or promulgate executive orders, regulations, policies or guidance that adversely affect us or create a more challenging or costly environment to pursue the development of new therapeutic products. Alternatively, state governments may attempt to address or react to changes at the federal level with changes to their own regulatory frameworks in a manner that is adverse to our operations. If we become negatively impacted by future governmental orders, regulations, policies or guidance as a result of the Trump administration, there could be a material adverse effect on us and our business.
We may incur unexpected costs or experience delays in completing, or ultimately be unable to complete, the development of avexitide, AMX0035AMX0035, AMX0114, AMX0318 or any other current or future product candidates.
To obtain regulatory approval to commercialize avexitide, AMX0035AMX0035, AMX0114, AMX0318 and any other current or future product candidates, we must demonstrate through extensive preclinical studies and clinical trials that such product candidates are safe and effective in humans. Preclinical and clinical testing are expensive and can take many years to complete, and their outcome is inherently uncertain. Failure can occur at any time during the clinical trial process and our future clinical trial results may not be successful, which could impact our ability to obtain regulatory approvals for avexitide, AMX0035AMX0035, AMX0114, AMX0318 or any other current or future product candidates.
We may experience delays in completing our clinical trials or preclinical studies and initiating or completing additional clinical trials. We may also experience numerous unforeseen events during our clinical trials that could delay or prevent our ability to receive marketing approval or commercialize avexitide, AMX0035AMX0035, AMX0114, AMX0318 or any other current or future product candidates we develop, including:
the number of subjects or patients required for clinical trials of avexitide, AMX0035AMX0035, AMX0114 and AMX0318 in an indication or any future product candidate may be larger than we anticipate, enrollment in these clinical trials may be insufficient or slower than we anticipate, and the number of clinical trials being conducted at any given time may be high and result in fewer available patients for any given clinical trial, or patients may drop out of these clinical trials at a higher rate than we anticipate;
our third-party contractors, including those manufacturing avexitide, AMX0035AMX0035, AMX0114, AMX0318 or any other current or future product candidates or conducting clinical trials on our behalf, may fail to comply with regulatory requirements or meet their contractual obligations to us in a timely manner, or at all;
regulators, IRBs or other reviewing bodies may fail to approve or subsequently find fault with the manufacturing processes or facilities of third-party manufacturers with which we enter into agreement for clinical and commercial supplies, or the supply or quality of avexitide, AMX0035AMX0035, AMX0114, AMX0318 or any other current or future product candidate or other materials necessary to conduct clinical trials of avexitide, AMX0035AMX0035, AMX0114, AMX0318 or any other current or future product candidates may be insufficient, inadequate or not available at an acceptable cost, or we may experience interruptions in supply; and the potential for approval policies or regulations of the FDA or any other applicable foreign regulatory agencies to significantly change in a manner rendering our clinical data insufficient for approval.
Regulators, IRBs of the institutions in which clinical trials are being conducted or data monitoring committees may suspend or terminate a clinical trial due to a number of factors, including failure to conduct the clinical trial in accordance with regulatory requirements or our clinical protocols, inspection of the clinical trial operations or trial site by the FDA or other regulatory authorities resulting in the imposition of a clinical hold, unforeseen safety issues or adverse side effects, failure to demonstrate a benefit from using a drug, changes in governmental regulations or administrative actions or lack of adequate funding to continue the clinical trial. For example, we submitted an Investigational New DrugIND application to the FDA for AMX0114. The FDA restricted dosing to an amount that is lower than our proposed starting dose of 12.5 mg and has requested additional information, which resulted in a clinical hold. Toxicology studies showed a greater than 10X safety margin at the starting dose of 12.5 mg based on the no observed adverse effect level, or NOAELlevel determined by independent toxicology firms. In January 2025, we announced that the clinical hold had been lifted, however there can be no assurance that future clinical holds relating to any of our current or future product candidates will not be imposed.
Our failure to successfully initiate and complete clinical trials of avexitide, AMX0035 for Wolfram syndrome, PSP,syndrome or potential additional indications and to demonstrate the efficacy and safety of avexitide and AMX0035, including each component thereof, necessary to obtain regulatory approval to market avexitide and AMX0035, would significantly harm our business and ability to continue developing and marketing avexitide and AMX0035 for any indications. Our product candidate development costs will also increase if we experience delays in testing or obtaining and maintaining regulatory approvals and we may be required to obtain additional funds to complete clinical trials. We cannot assure you that our clinical trials will begin as planned or be completed on schedule, if at all, or that we will not need to restructure our trials after they have begun. Significant clinical trial delays or the need for additional data from our clinical trials also could shorten any periods during which we may have the exclusive right to commercialize avexitide, AMX0035 or any other current or future product candidates or allow our competitors to bring products to market before we do and impair our ability to successfully commercialize such product candidates, which may harm our business and results of operations. In addition, many of the factors that cause, or lead to, delays of clinical trials may ultimately lead to the denial of regulatory approval of avexitide, AMX0035 or any future product candidate.
The results of preclinical studies may not be predictive of the results of clinical trials, and the results of any early-stage clinical trials we commence may not be predictive of the results of the later-stage clinical trials. In addition, initial data in clinical trials may not be indicative of results obtained when such trials are completed. There can be no assurance that any of our clinical trials will ultimately be successful or support further clinical development of avexitide, AMX0035AMX0035, AMX0114 or any other current or future product candidates. For example, the clinical results seen in the CENTAUR trial were different than the results seen in our global Phase 3 PHOENIX clinical trial. There is a high failure rate for drugs and biologics proceeding through clinical trials. A number of companies in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries have suffered significant setbacks in clinical development even after achieving promising results in earlier studies, and any such setbacks in our clinical development could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results.

We are a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company with a mission to develop novel therapies for communities with high unmet medical needs. We have preclinical and clinical development programs underway in neurodegenerativeendocrine diseasesconditions and endocrineneurodegenerative conditions.diseases. We are advancing a pipeline in which we have matched investigational therapies with diseases where we believe they can make the greatest impact, based on well-defined mechanistic rationale, clear clinical outcomes and biomarkers, and rigorous preclinical data, agnostic of modality. We are currently developing threefour investigational therapies for potential impact across several diseases: avexitide in PBH and congenital HI,PBH, AMX0035 in Wolfram syndrome and PSP, andsyndrome, AMX0114 in ALS.ALS, and AMX0318 in PBH and other rare diseases.
As of December 31, 2024,2025, we had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $176.5$317.0 million. In January 2025, we received net proceeds of $65.5 million from the January 2025 Offering. We believe our existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of December 31, 2024, along with the proceeds from the January 2025 Offering, will be sufficient to meetfund our anticipatedoperations operatinginto and capital expenditure requirements through 2026.2028. We have based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could exhaust our available capital resources sooner than we expect. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below.
Product Revenue, Net
Product revenue, net recognized during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 relates to units of ALBRIOZA and RELYVRIO sold in Canada and the U.S., respectively. In April 2024, we announced we had started a process with the FDA and Health Canada to voluntarily discontinue the marketing authorizations for RELYVRIO®/ALBRIOZA™ (sodium phenylbutyrate and taurursodiol [also known as ursodoxicoltaurine]; also known as AMX0035) for the treatment of ALS and remove the product from the market in the U.S. and Canada, or the “RELYVRIO®/ALBRIOZA™ Discontinuation. This decision was informed by topline results from the global Phase 3 PHOENIX trial, which failed to meet its prespecified primary and secondary endpoints, engagement with regulatory authorities, and discussions with the ALS community. As a result, we do not expect to generate revenue from the sale of RELYVRIO®/ALBRIOZA™ in future periods.
As of April 4, 2024, RELYVRIO/ALBRIOZA was no longer available for new patients. Patients who were currently on therapy in the U.S. and Canada who, in consultation with their physician, wished to stay on treatment had the option to be transitioned to a free drug program. Patients and their physicians were informed that final shipments of free drug were made to allow treatment through early 2025. The NDA is now on the Discontinued Drug Product List of the Orange Book and we have filed a formal request to withdraw the NDA. We have completed the collection of data on survival and we will continue to share any learnings from PHOENIX to help inform future ALS research. We wound down the Open Label Extension as planned.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales consists primarily of costs associated with the manufacturing of RELYVRIO, ALBRIOZA and certain period costs and losses on purchase commitments with contract manufacturing organizations. Following our announcement of a process to discontinue the marketing authorizations for RELYVRIO®/ALBRIOZA™ and remove the product from the market in the U.S. and Canada, we did not report product cost of sales following the discontinuation of these products.
Acquired In-process Research and Development Expenses
Acquired in-process research and development, or IPR&D, expenses relate to upfront or other payments pursuant to our business development transactions, including the Eiger Acquisition (as defined below).
Research and development expenses consist primarily of costs incurred in connection with the research and development of avexitide, AMX0035, AMX0114AMX0114, AMX0318 and other potential future product candidates. We expense research and development costs as incurred. These expenses include:
expenses incurred under agreements with CROs, contract manufacturing organizations, or CMOs, as well as investigative sites and consultants that conduct our clinical trials, preclinical studies and other scientific development services;
Research and development activities are central to our business model. Product candidates such as avexitide and AMX0035 in later stages of clinical development generally have higher development costs than those in earlier stages of clinical development, such as AMX0114,AMX0114 and AMX0318, primarily due to the increased size and duration of later-stage clinical trials and related product manufacturing expenses. Despite a decline in research and development expenses in 20242025 compared to 2023,2024, we expect that our research and development expenses will increase in connection with our planned clinical development activities in the near term and in the future. At this time, we cannot accurately estimate or know the nature, timing and costs of the efforts that will be necessary to complete the clinical development of avexitide, AMX0035AMX0035, AMX0114, AMX0318 and any future product candidates. Our clinical development costs may vary significantly based on factors such as:
The successful development and commercialization of avexitide, AMX0035AMX0035, AMX0114, AMX0318 and any other current or future product candidates is highly uncertain, due to the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with product development and commercialization, including the following:
A change in the outcome of any of these variables with respect to the development of avexitide, AMX0035AMX0035, AMX0114, AMX0318 or any other current or future product candidates could have a significant impact on the cost and timing associated with the development of our product candidates. We may never succeed in obtaining or maintaining, as applicable, regulatory approval for avexitide, AMX0035AMX0035, AMX0114, AMX0318 or any other current or future product candidates.
Restructuring Expenses
Restructuring expenses consists primarily of employee severance and termination benefits, contract termination costs, impairment of long-lived assets and other costs. Such costs are based on estimates of fair value in the period liabilities are incurred. We evaluate and adjust these costs as appropriate for changes in circumstances as additional information becomes available.

Product revenue, net was $87.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $380.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. Product revenue, net was related to units of RELYVRIO and ALBRIOZA sold in the U.S. and Canada, respectively, prior to the RELYVRIO®/ALBRIOZA™ Discontinuation.
Product revenue, net and Cost of sales
In April 2024, we announced we had started a process with the FDA and Health Canada to voluntarily discontinue the marketing authorizations for RELYVRIO®/ALBRIOZA™ (sodium phenylbutyrate and taurursodiol [also known as ursodoxicoltaurine]; also known as AMX0035) for the treatment of ALS and remove the product from the market in the U.S. and Canada, or the “RELYVRIO®/ALBRIOZA™ Discontinuation. As a result of the RELYVRIO®/ALBRIOZA™ Discontinuation, we did not generate revenue from product sales for the year ended December 31, 2025. For the year ended December 31, 2024, product revenue, net was primarily related to units of RELYVRIO and ALBRIOZA previously sold in the U.S. and Canada during the first quarter of 2024.

As a result of the RELYVRIO®/ALBRIOZA™ Discontinuation, we recorded approximately $118.7 million of charges associated with the write-down of inventory and losses on firm purchase commitments for the year ended December 31, 2024.
OnIn July 9, 2024, we completed the acquisition of substantially all the assets and interests in the development, manufacture and commercialization of avexitide, an investigational, first-in-class GLP-1 receptor antagonist, from Eiger, or the Seller, or the Eiger Acquisition. During the year ended December 31, 2024, we recorded a charge of approximately $36.2 million associated with the acquired in-process research and development assets of avexitide with no alternative future use.

Research and development expenses were $90.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $104.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $128.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2023.2024. The decrease of $24.1$13.7 million was primarily due to a $24.1$35.0 million decrease in spending on AMX0035 for the treatment of ALS following topline data from the PHOENIX trial inand Aprila 2024, an $8.1$6.7 million decrease in payroll and personnel-related costs due to a decrease in the number of employees following the completion of our Restructuring Plan, and a $5.2 million decrease in other costs due to an decrease in preclinical development activities.Plan.
The decrease in research and development expenses was offset by a $21.3 million increase in expenses related to the pivotal Phase 3 LUCIDITY clinical trial in PBH and other costs related to avexitide, and a $6.3 million increase in other research and development activities.
The decrease in research and development expenses was offset by a $10.5 million increase in spending on AMX0035 for the treatment of PSP, and a $2.8 million increase in expenses for the development of avexitide following the Eiger Acquisition. The increase in spending on AMX0035 for the treatment of PSP was primarily related to costs to support the continuation of the ORION Phase 2b/3 global clinical trial.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $62.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to $114.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to $188.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2023.2024. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease of $39.5$15.0 million in payroll and personnel-related costs, $25.5$15.7 million in consulting and professional services, and $9.1$20.7 million in other expenses. The decrease in payroll and personnel-related costs was primarily related to a decrease in the number of employees as a result of the Restructuring Plan. The decrease in consulting and professional services was primarily due to a decrease in commercial sales and marketing activity as a result of the RELYVRIO®/ALBRIOZA™ Discontinuation. The decrease in other expenses is primarily due to a decrease in charitable contributions.contributions, lower facilities and IT-related expenses, and a decrease in activity to wind down commercial operations.
InWe Aprildid 2024,not we announced arecognize restructuring to focus our financial resources on upcoming clinical milestones. Under the restructuring, we reduced our workforce by approximately 70% and decreased external financial commitments outside of our priority areas. Restructuring expenses were approximately $22.9 million for the year ended December 31, 20242025. During the year ended December 31, 2024, restructuring expenses were approximately $22.9 million, which includes employee severance and termination benefits of approximately $21.9 million, contract termination costs, impairment of long-lived assets and other costs of $1.0 million. We substantially completed the Restructuring Plan in the second quarter of 2024.
In the second half of 2022, we began generating revenue from the sale of our approved drug product RELYVRIO, known as ALBRIOZA in Canada. In April 2024, we announced the RELYVRIO®/ALBRIOZA™ Discontinuation. We also announced the Restructuring Plan, which was designed to focus our resources on key clinical and preclinical programs and included a reduction in force which reduced our workforce by approximately 70% and decreased external financial commitments outside of our priority areas. We completed the Restructuring Plan in the second half of 2024.
In January 2025, we entered into an underwriting agreement with Leerink Partners LLC, as representative of the several underwriters named therein, relating to the issuance and sale of an aggregate of 19,714,285 shares of our common stock, which includes the exercise in full by the underwritersunderwriter of theirits option to purchase an additional 2,571,428 shares, or the January 2025 Offering. The public offering price per share was $3.50. The January 2025 Offering resulted in estimated proceeds of approximately $65.5 million, net of underwriting discounts and estimated offering expenses (see Note 18 Subsequent events).expenses.
In September 2025, we entered into an underwriting agreement with Leerink Partners LLC and Guggenheim Securities LLC, as representatives of the several underwriters named therein, relating to the issuance and sale of an aggregate of 20,150,000 shares of our common stock, which includes the exercise in full by the underwriters of their option to purchase an additional 2,625,000 shares, or the September 2025 Offering. The public offering price per share was $10.00. The September 2025 Offering resulted in proceeds of approximately $190.7 million, net of underwriting discounts and offering expenses.
As of December 31, 2024,2025, we had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $176.5$317.0 million and an accumulated deficit of $606.7$751.4 million. We believe our existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of December 31, 2024, along with the proceeds from the January 2025 Offering, will be sufficient to meetfund our anticipatedoperations operatinginto and capital expenditure requirements through 2026.2028. We have based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could exhaust our available capital resources sooner than we expect.
Capital Resources and Uses
Despite the decline in research and development and general administrative expenses in 20242025 as compared to 2023,2024, we expect our expenses to increase in connection with our ongoing activities, particularly as we advance the preclinical activities, manufacturing and clinical trials of avexitide, AMX0035AMX0035, AMX0114 and any other current or future product candidates or acquire or in-license additional product candidates or products. We may also incur expenses related to business development activities, such as in-licensing or acquisition of product candidates. In addition, we expect to incur additional costs associated with operating as a public company, including significant legal, accounting, investor relations and other expenses. We expect to incur significant expenses as we:
continue our research and development efforts of AMX0035, including our ongoing Phase 2b/3 trial of AMX0035 in PSP and our ongoing Phase 2 trial of AMX0035 for the treatment of Wolfram syndrome and winding down of the Phase 2b/3 trial of AMX0035 in PSP;
continue toour developresearch and development efforts of AMX0114, including our antisenseongoing oligonucleotide,Phase 1 clinical trial of AMX0114 for the treatment of people living ALS;
continue our preclinical efforts of AMX0318, including advancing into IND-enabling studies in 2026;
the scope, progress, results and costs of drug discovery, laboratory testing, preclinical and clinical development for avexitide, AMX0035AMX0035, AMX0114, AMX0318 and any future product candidates;
the costs, timing and outcome of regulatory review of avexitide, AMX0035AMX0035, AMX0114, AMX0318 and any future product candidates;
timing delays with respect to preclinical and clinical development of avexitide, AMX0035AMX0035, AMX0114, AMX0318 and any future product candidates, including as result of any future outbreak of any highly infectious or contagious diseases;
During the year ended December 31, 2025, operating activities used $123.3 million of cash, primarily resulting from our net loss of $144.7 million, $5.5 million in accretion of discounts on investments, and $1.1 million of net cash used by changes in our operating assets and liabilities, offset by $27.6 million of non-cash stock-based compensation expense.
Net cash used by changes in our operating assets and liabilities primarily consisted of a $6.6 million decrease in accrued expenses, a $1.2 million decrease in operating lease liabilities, and a $2.0 million increase in other assets, offset by a $6.0 million decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets and a $1.7 million decrease in operating right-of-use (ROU) assets.
During the year ended December 31, 2023, operating activities provided $11.9 million of cash, primarily resulting from our net income of $49.3 million, non-cash stock-based compensation expense of $37.2 million and $1.1 million of depreciation expense, offset by an increase of $65.7 million in net cash used in our operating assets and liabilities and net amortization of premiums and discounts on investments of $9.9 million.
Net cash used in our operating assets and liabilities in 2023 primarily consisted of a $21.6 million increase in accrued expenses, a $15.9 million increase in accounts payable and a $1.8 million decrease in operating lease right-of-use assets. This was offset by a $73.1 million increase in inventories, a $24.7 million increase in accounts receivable, a $4.8 million increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets and a $2.0 million decrease in operating lease liabilities.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, net cash provided by investing activities was $14.0 million resulting primarily from $246.0 million of investments that matured, offset by $231.8 million in purchases of marketable securities.
During the year ended December 31, 2023, net cash provided by investing activities was $92.1 million resulting from $394.1 million of investments matured during the period offset by $300.8 million in purchases of marketable securities and $1.2 million in purchases of property and equipment.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, net cash provided by financing activities was $257.0 million. This amount consisted primarily of $65.6 million in proceeds from the January 2025 Offering, net of offering costs paid, and $190.7 million in proceeds from the September 2025 Offering, net of offering costs paid.
During the year ended December 31, 2023, net cash provided by financing activities was $3.5 million. This amount consisted of $7.0 million of proceeds from exercises of stock options, offset by $3.3 million of withholding taxes paid on stock-based awards and $0.1 million in payments of deferred offering costs.

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP. The preparation of our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, costs and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in our consolidated financial statements. We base our estimates on historical experience, known trends and events and various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Our actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Revenue Recognition
Prior to the RELYVRIO®/ALBRIOZA™ Discontinuation, our accounting policy for revenue recognition had a substantial impact on reported results and relied on certain estimates. Specifically, revenue was reduced by variable consideration related to certain gross-to-net, or GTN. These GTN adjustments involve significant estimates and judgment, considering historical experience, payer channel mix (e.g., Medicare or Medicaid), current contract prices under applicable programs, unbilled claims and processing time lags and inventory levels in the distribution channel. Estimates were assessed each period and adjusted as required to revise information or actual experience. To date, actual GTN activity has not differed materially from our estimates. Because of the time elapsed since the RELYVRIO®/ALBRIOZA™ Discontinuation the remaining estimates and judgments related to revenue recognition are not considered significant as of December 31, 2024.
What changed in the latest 10-Q
Risk Factors
New heading “Beginning January 1, 2027, we will no longer qualify as a smaller reporting company, which will increase our costs and demands on management.”
Largest changes
Adverse macroeconomic conditions or market volatility resulting from national or global economic developments, political unrest, high inflation, fluctuating interest rates, international tariffs, changes in international trade relationships and military conflicts, such as the ongoing conflicts between Russia and Ukraine, the U.S. and Iran, and in the Middle East, significant changes in U.S. policies and regulatory environment and other factors, could materially and adversely affect our business operations. Sanctions imposed by the U.S. and other countries in response to such conflicts may also continue to adversely impact the financial markets and the global economy, and any economic countermeasures by the affected countries or others could exacerbate market and economic instability. For example, insee in full comparisonearlyJuly2025,2026, the U.S. imposedblankettariffs ranging from approximately 10%tariffs–12.5% on virtually all imports to the U.S.andThe U.S. has also imposed significantly higher tariffs applicable to certain importsfrominmanyselectcountries,industries,whichincluding certain pharmaceuticals.

While certain tariffshavehave, in the past, been suspended,modifiedmodified, temporarily reduced ortemporarilyruledreduced,in excess of the executive branch’s constitutional authority, we cannot predict the results of the U.S. government’s tradenegotiationsnegotiations, current efforts to impose tariffs under alternative statutory authorities, or the outcome of any ongoing or future legal challenges to specific tariff policies. There can be no assurance that deterioration in credit and financial markets and confidence in economic conditions will not occur. For instance, actual events involving limited liquidity, defaults, non-performance or other adverse developments that affect financial institutions, transactional counterparties or other companies in the financial services industry or the financial services industry generally, or concerns or rumors about any events of these kinds or other similar risks, have in the past and may in the future lead to market-wide liquidity problems. Investor concerns regarding the U.S. or international financial systems could result in less favorable commercial financing terms, including higher interest rates or costs and tighter financial and operating covenants, or systemic limitations on access to credit and liquidity sources, thereby making it more difficult for us to acquire financing on acceptable terms or at all. In addition, any deterioration in the macro-economy or financial services industry could lead to losses or defaults by our suppliers, which in turn, could have a material adverse effect on our current and/or planned business operations and our current or projected results of operations and financial condition. Also, current inflationary trends in the global economy may impact salaries and wages, costs of goods and transportation expenses, among other things, and recent and potential future disruptions in access to bank deposits or lending commitments due to bank failures may create market and economic instability. A severe or prolonged economic downturn or additional global financial crises could result in a variety of risks to our business, including weakened demand for any product candidates we develop or our ability to raise additional capital when needed on acceptable terms, if at all.

There have been, and may continue to be, significant changes to U.S. trade policies, sanctions, legislation, treaties and tariffs, including, but not limited to, trade policies and tariffs affecting products from outside of the U.S. The extent and duration of increased tariffs and the resulting impact on general economic conditions and on our business are uncertain and depend on various factors, such as negotiations between the U.S. and affected countries, the responses of other countries or regions, exemptions or exclusions that may be granted, availability and cost of alternative sources of supply, and demand in affected markets. There are also current geopolitical tensions with China that may affect our operations. For example, the recently enacted BIOSECURE Act, which, among other things, prohibits U.S. federal funding in connection with biotechnology equipment or services produced or provided by certain named Chinese “biotechnology companies of concern” and loans and grants to, and federal contracts with any entity that uses biotechnology equipment or services from one of these entities. Any additional executive action, legislative action similar to the BIOSECURE Act or potential sanctions with China could materially impact our current or future manufacturing partners and our agreements with them. Supply chain disruptions and delays as a result of any new legislative or executive actions, sanctions, tariff policies or trade restrictions could also negatively impact our cost of materials and production processes. If we are unable to obtain these chemical or biological intermediates in sufficient quantity and in a timely manner due to disruptions in the global supply chain caused by macroeconomic events and conditions, the development, testing and clinical trials of avexitide, AMX0035, AMX0114, AMX0318 or any other current or future product candidates may be delayed or infeasible, and regulatory approval or commercial launch of any resulting product may be delayed or not obtained, which could significantly harm our business.see in full comparison

U.S. and global markets have recently been experiencing volatility and disruption caused by economic uncertainty, including as a result of geopolitical instability, ongoing military conflicts, the evolving regulatory activities and economic policies under the current U.S. government, events related thereto, such as changes to candidates or political unrest or otherwise, and high inflation and interest rates. Although the length and impact of the ongoing military conflicts is highly unpredictable, the ongoing conflicts between Russia and Ukraine, the U.S. and Iran, and in the Middle East have led to market disruptions, including significant volatility in commodity prices, credit and capital markets, as well as supply chain interruptions, which contributed to record inflation globally.

The delay or denial of regulatory approval for any of our current or any future product candidates in any jurisdiction could adversely impact our business and our results of operations, and could cause us to delay or even cease operations.
The regulatory approval processes of the FDA and other comparable foreign authorities are lengthy, time-consuming and inherently unpredictable, and if we are ultimately unable to maintain or obtain regulatory approval for anyour current or future product candidates, our business will be substantially harmed.
We are continuously evaluating and pursuing strategic transactions, and cannot guarantee that our previous or future strategic transactions, acquisitions or business combinations pursued to further our mission to improve our underlying business performance will, in fact, produce any benefits.
We are currently operating in a period of economic uncertainty, which has been significantly impacted by geopolitical instability, ongoing military conflicts, including the ongoing conflicts between Russia and Ukraine, and the U.S. and Iran, and in the Middle East, the evolving regulatory activities and policy changes under the current U.S. government, events related thereto, and changes in inflation and interest rates, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Investment in biopharmaceutical product development is highly speculative because it entails substantial upfront capital expenditures and significant risk that any potential product candidate will fail to demonstrate adequate effect or an acceptable safety profile, gain regulatory approval and become commercially viable. We will continue to incur significant research and development and other expenses related to clinical development and potential approvals for our current and future product candidates, including for avexitide, AMX0035 and AMX0114 in additional indications other than ALS, and for ongoing operations. Since our inception, we have devoted the majority of our financial resources and efforts to research and development, including preclinical studies and our clinical trials, preparation for commercialization and commercialization activities. We invested substantial resources into our product development efforts of AMX0035 and toward the commercialization and approval of AMX0035 as RELYVRIO/ALBRIOZA for ALS. We voluntarily discontinued the marketing authorizations for RELYVRIO/ALBRIOZA for ALS and removed the product from the U.S. and Canada based on topline results from the Phase 3 PHOENIX trial, which failed to meet its prespecified primary and secondary endpoints. Our financial condition and operating results, including our revenues, expenses and net income (loss), have in the past and are likely in the future to fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter and year to year. For example, we generated revenues of $380.8 million in 2023 as a result of sales of RELYVRIO/ALBRIOZA, but following its withdrawal, we will no longer generate revenues from this product. Accordingly, you should not rely upon the results of any prior quarterly or annual periods as indications of future operating performance. Additionally, net losses and negative cash flows have had, and may in the future have, an adverse effect on our stockholders’ equity and working capital. As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we had an accumulated deficit of $792.7$836.1 million.
We expect we willmay require substantial additional funding in the future to meet our financial needs and to pursue our business objectives. If we are unable to obtain funding if and when needed, we could be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate our product discovery and development activities or commercialization efforts.
the costs of commercialization activities for avexitide, AMX0035avexitide and forAMX0035, anyif approved indications,approved, or for any other product candidate that receivesmay receive regulatory approval to the extent such costs are not the responsibility of any future collaborators, including the costs and timing of establishing sufficient product sales, marketing, distribution and manufacturing capabilities;
our obligation,obligations, if any, to pay royalties in connection with the development and commercialization of avexitide or any other products or product candidates we may in-license or acquire;
We cannot be certain that additional funding will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. As a result of the challenges caused by economic uncertainty in domestic and global markets due to geopolitical instability and conflict, including the ongoing warconflicts in Ukraine and the conflict in the Middle East,East and the evolving regulatory activities and policy changes under the current U.S. government, the global credit and financial markets have experienced in recent periods significant volatility and disruptions, including diminished liquidity and credit availability, declines in consumer confidence, changes to rates of inflation and interest rates and uncertainty about economic and global stability. If the equity and credit markets continue to deteriorate, it may make any necessary debt or equity financing impossible or more difficult, more costly or more dilutive.
We have no committed source of additional capital and if we are unable to raise additional capital or secure other financing, if needed, in sufficient amounts or on terms acceptable to us, we may have to significantly delay, scale back or discontinue the development of avexitide, AMX0035, AMX0114, AMX0318 or any other current or future product candidates or other research and development initiatives. We may need to seek collaborators for avexitide, AMX0035, AMX0114, AMX0318 and any other current or future product candidates at an earlier stage than otherwise would be desirable or on terms that are less favorable than might otherwise be available or relinquish or license on unfavorable terms our rights to avexitide, AMX0035, AMX0114, AMX0318 and any other current or future product candidates in markets where we otherwise would seek to pursue development or commercialization ourselves. Any of the above events could significantly harm our business, prospects, financial condition,condition and results of operations and cause the price of our common stock to decline.
We believe our existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of MarchJune 31,30, 20262026, will be sufficient to fund our operations into 2028. However, our estimate may prove to be wrong, and we could use our available capital resources sooner than we currently expect. Further, changing circumstances, some of which may be beyond our control, could cause us to consume capital significantly faster than we currently anticipate, and we may need to seek additional funds sooner than planned.
We expect our expenses to continue to increase in both the near term and long term in connection with our planned operations. Unless and until we can generate a substantial amount of revenue on a sustained basis, if at all, we expect we willmay be required to finance our future cash needs through public or private equity offerings, royalty-based or debt financings, collaborations, licensing arrangements or other sources, or any combination of the foregoing. In addition, we may seek additional capital due to favorable market conditions or strategic considerations, even if we believe that we have sufficient funds for our current or future operating plans.
The rules dealing with U.S. federal, state, local and international income taxation are constantly under review by persons involved in the legislative process and by the Internal Revenue Service and the U.S. Treasury Department. For example, the OBBBA was signed into law on July 4, 2025 and made significant changes to the U.S. federal tax law. Changes to tax laws (which changes may have retroactive application) could adversely affect us or holders of our common stock. For example, under Section 174 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the IRC, in taxable years beginning after December 31, 2021, expenses that are incurred for research and development performed outside the U.S. will be capitalized and amortized, which may have an adverse effect on our cash flow. The OBBBA provides thatthat, for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2024, expenses that are incurred for research and development performed in the U.S. may, at the taxpayer’s election, be immediately deducted or capitalized and amortized. In addition, the OBBBA provides that for taxable years beginning after December 31, 20212021, and before January 1, 2025, certain eligible taxpayers generally may elect to retroactively deduct expenses for research and development performed in the U.S. in such taxable years by filing amended tax returns for such taxable years, and all other taxpayers that are not eligible to make such an election and that amortized expenses for research and development performed in the U.S. in such taxable years generally may elect to accelerate and deduct the remaining unamortized amounts of such research and development expenses (i) in the first taxable year beginning after December 31, 2024, or (ii) ratably over the two-taxable year period beginning with the first taxable year beginning after December 31, 2024. In recent years, many changes to tax laws have been made and changes are likely to continue to occur in the future. The OBBBA also makes significant changes to the Medicaid, Medicare, and Health Insurance Marketplace federal healthcare programs. Changes include new requirements states must meet to maintain federal support for the Medicaid programs, as well as stricter criteria beneficiaries must meet to qualify for and maintain enrollment in federal healthcare programs. The effect of these changes could result in reductions in our patient population and managed care enrollees that we serve across our federal healthcare program lines of business due to, among other things, more stringent eligibility requirements such as the imposition of work or community service requirements, and copayments on many services, limitation of Medicaid eligibility to certain lawfully present individuals, and the effect of immigration enforcement actions which may discourage beneficiaries from applying or reapplying for federal healthcare benefits. These risks could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
In addition, Medicaid provider tax reform has been targeted by the current administration to reduce federal Medicaid spending, with such potential reforms including restricting states from using provider taxes to help finance coverage of undocumented immigrants and cutting provider taxes and capping state-directed payments.
Our future success depends significantly on our ability to successfully develop, and obtain regulatory approvals for and commercialize, avexitide in PBH and AMX0035 in indications other than ALS, including Wolfram syndrome. Avexitide has been evaluated in five Phase 1 and Phase 2 clinical trials for PBH and has also been studied in congenital HI. In February 2025, we activated the first sites for the pivotal Phase 3 LUCIDITY clinical trial for avexitide in PBH and in April 2025, we announced that the first participant had been dosed. Recruitment and enrollment of LUCIDITY are complete. All participants have been randomized and dosed as of the first quarter of 2026, and we continue to expect topline data in the third quarter of 2026, and if approved, a commercial launch in 2027. We reported positive topline results from the Phase 2 HELIOS trial, an open-label study of AMX0035 in 12 adult participants with Wolfram syndrome. At Week 24, stabilization or improvement was demonstrated across all key clinical measures, including pancreatic function, glycemic control, and vision. Long-term Week 48 data demonstrated that treatment with AMX0035 led to continued sustained stabilization or improvement. At Week 96, measures of pancreatic function and glycemic control were stable or improved relative to baseline in most participants. Visual acuity and patient- and clinician-reported outcomes showed patterns consistent with disease stabilization. Our business success depends heavily on our ability to successfully complete clinical trials for our product candidates. We have completed the IND-enabling studies of AMX0114 in ALS and fully enrolled cohort 1 (n=12) and cohort 2 (n=12) of the Phase 1 LUMINA trial in ALS in September 2025 and March 2026, respectively.

If the FDA or other comparable foreign regulatory authorities require us to conduct one or more clinical trials to support such a demonstration, such as a factorial study, the design, duration,duration and scope of such clinical trials will be decided upon after further discussions with those agencies and other comparable foreign regulatory authorities. As a result, we are unable to predict with certainty the estimated timing or scope of any future clinical trials of AMX0035 we may be required to conduct to satisfy these requirements governing fixed dose combination products in various jurisdictions. Ongoing third-party data in neurology, specifically within ALS, on our products or other products may influence regulatory decision making, including for fixed-dose combinations.
We have focused our research and development efforts on addressing neurodegenerative diseases and have only recentlyin the past two years further expanded upon our existing development efforts in the endocrine and metabolic field with the acquisition of avexitide. This shift in focus may resultresulted in additional costs arising from operating expenses and hiring personnel, challenges with building our expertise in the endocrine and metabolic field, or diversion of management’s attention away from AMX0035. Historically, efforts by pharmaceutical companies in the field of neurodegenerative diseases have experienced limited successes in product development. The development of neurodegenerative therapies presents unique challenges, including an imperfect understanding of the relevant biology, the presence of the blood brain barrier that can restrict the flow of drugs to the brain, a frequent lack of translatability of preclinical study results in subsequent clinical trials and dose selection, and the product candidate having an effect that may be too small to be detected using the outcome measures selected in clinical trials or if the outcomes measured do not reach statistical significance. There are few approved therapeutic options available for patients with ALS and other neurodegenerative disorders. Our future success is highly dependent on the successful development and commercialization of avexitide, AMX0035 and any other current or future product candidates for treating neurodegenerative diseases or for treating endocrine conditions. Developing and commercializing avexitide, AMX0035 and any other current or future product candidates for treatment of neurodegenerative diseases or for treating PBH and congenital HI subjects us to a number of challenges, including ensuring that we have developed or acquired the requisite expertise in these areas, selected the optimal doses, execute appropriate clinical trials to test for efficacy and obtain regulatory approval from the FDA and other comparable foreign regulatory authorities.
The regulatory approval processes of the FDA and other comparable foreign authorities are lengthy, time-consuming and inherently unpredictable, and if we are ultimately unable to obtain regulatory approval for our current or any future product candidates, our business will be substantially harmed.
We, and any future collaborators, are not permitted to commercialize, market, promote or sell any product candidate in the U.S. or elsewhere without obtaining regulatory approval from the FDA and other comparable foreign regulatory authorities. Regulatory authorities in other jurisdictions may have similar requirements. The time required to obtain approval by the FDA and other comparable foreign regulatory authorities is unpredictable, and typically takes many years following the commencement of clinical trials and depends upon numerous factors, including substantial discretion of such regulatory authorities. In addition, approval policies, regulations, or the type and amount of clinical data necessary to gain approval may change during the course of a product candidate’s clinical development and may vary among jurisdictions. For example, the U.S. Supreme Court’s July 2024 decision to overturn prior established case law giving deference to regulatory agencies’ interpretations of ambiguous statutory language has introduced uncertainty regarding the extent to which the FDA’s regulations, policies, and decisions may become subject to increasing legal challenges, delays, and/or changes. In addition, the FDA in any approval needs to determine that there is substantial evidence of effectiveness. This finding can be substantiated based on two adequate and well-controlled studies, or in certain circumstances on a single, large, multicenter, adequate and well-controlled study that is very persuasive or from a single adequate and well-controlled study together with confirmatory evidence. FDA regulations and guidance also allow for greater flexibility and tolerance for uncertainty in the context of rare and fatal diseases. In February 2026, theThe FDA Commissioner publicly indicated that a single adequate and well-controlled pivotal clinical trial supported by confirmatory evidence willwould be the FDA’s default standard moving forward for novel products, rather than two such trials; this statement was not a formal agency action, and the scope, implementation and durability of this policy position remain uncertain. In June 2026, the FDA issued revised draft guidance clarifying how sponsors can rely on one scientifically rigorous adequate and well-controlled clinical investigation with confirmatory evidence to satisfy the statutory substantial evidence of effectiveness standard. Further, in July 2026, in response to congressional inquiries, FDA indicated that informal statements, issued through journals or means other than formal notice and comment rule-making, are not reflective of official FDA policy and should not be interpreted as regulatory guidance. FDA retains broad discretion to require additional clinical data for any product candidate, including a second adequate and well-controlled clinical trial.
To obtain regulatory approval to commercialize avexitide, AMX0035, AMX0114, AMX0318 and any other current or future product candidates, we must demonstrate through extensive preclinical studies and clinical trials that such product candidates are safe and effective in humans. Preclinical and clinical testing are expensive and can take many years to complete, and their outcome is inherently uncertain. The leadership changes at the FDA may compound this uncertainty. Failure can occur at any time during the clinical trial process and our future clinical trial results may not be successful, which could impact our ability to obtain regulatory approvals for avexitide, AMX0035, AMX0114, AMX0318 or any other current or future product candidates.
Regulators, IRBs of the institutions in which clinical trials are being conducted or data monitoring committees may suspend or terminate a clinical trial due to a number of factors, including failure to conduct the clinical trial in accordance with regulatory requirements or our clinical protocols, inspection of the clinical trial operations or trial site by the FDA or other regulatory authorities resulting in the imposition of a clinical hold, unforeseen safety issues or adverse side effects, failure to demonstrate a benefit from using a drug, changes in governmental regulations or administrative actions or lack of adequate funding to continue the clinical trial. For example, we submitted an IND application to the FDA for AMX0114. TheIn connection with the IND application, the FDA restricted AMX0114 dosing to an amount that is lower than our proposed starting dose of 12.5 mg and has requested additional information, which resulted in a clinical hold. Toxicology studies showed a greater than 10X10x safety margin at the starting dose of 12.5 mg based on the no observed adverse effect level determined by independent toxicology firms. In January 2025, we announced that the clinical hold had been lifted,lifted. howeverHowever, there can be no assurance that the FDA or other regulatory authorities will not impose future clinical holds relating to any of our current or future product candidates will not be imposed.candidates.
In July 2024, we completed the acquisition of substantially all of the rights, title and interests in, to and under those assets and interests used by Eiger BioPharmaceuticals, Inc., or Eiger, in the development, manufacture and commercialization of avexitide. Negative or inconclusive impressions of the results from earlier clinical trials of avexitide performed by Eiger or any other clinical trial or preclinical studies in animals that we or Eiger,Eiger have conducted with respect to avexitide, have conducted, or the results from our earlier clinical trials of AMX0035 for the treatment of ALS or AD, could mandate repeated or additional preclinical studies or clinical trials and could delay marketing approvals or result in changes to or delays in preclinical studies or clinical trials of AMX0035 in other indications. We do not know whether any clinical trials that we may conduct will demonstrate adequate efficacy and safety to result in regulatory approval to market avexitide, AMX0035 for our intended indications or any future product candidate.
Any product candidate we may develop and the activities associated with its development and commercialization, including its design, testing, manufacture, safety, efficacy, recordkeeping, labeling, storage, approval, advertising, promotion, sale,sale and distribution, are subject to comprehensive regulation by the FDA and other regulatory authorities in the U.S. and in other countries. Failure to obtain marketing approval for a product candidate will prevent us from commercializing that product candidate in a given jurisdiction. Although we have invested substantial time and resources to date in pursuit of regulatory approval and toward potential commercialization, we have only received regulatory approval for AMX0035 (RELYVRIO) in the U.S. and marketing authorization with conditions for AMX0035 (ALBRIOZA) in Canada, which products we have since ceased marketing and selling from the market,market. andWe have not received any other regulatory approvals to market any current product candidates from regulatory authorities in any jurisdiction, and it is possible that none of the product candidates we may seek to develop in the future will ever obtain regulatory approval. We have no experience in filing and supporting the applications necessary to gain marketing approvals and rely on third-party CROs or regulatory consultants to assist us in this process. Securing regulatory approval requires the submission of extensive preclinical and clinical data and supporting information to the various regulatory authorities for each therapeutic indication to establish the product candidate’s safety, purity, efficacy and potency. Securing regulatory approval also requires the submission of information about the product manufacturing process to, and inspection of manufacturing facilities by, the relevant regulatory authority. Any product candidates we develop may not be effective, may be only moderately effective, or may prove to have undesirable or unintended side effects, toxicities or other characteristics that may preclude our obtaining marketing approval or prevent or limit commercial use.
Patient enrollment is a significant factor in the timing of clinical trials, and the timing of our clinical trials depends, in part, on the speed at which we can recruit patients to participate in our trials, as well as completion of required follow-up periods. We may not be able to initiate or continue clinical trials for avexitide, AMX0035, AMX0114, AMX0318 or any other current or future product candidates if we are unable to locate and enroll a sufficient number of eligible patients to participate in these trials to such trial’s conclusion as required by the FDA or other comparable foreign regulatory authorities. Additionally, certain clinical trials for avexitide, AMX0035, AMX0114 and any other current or future product candidates may be focused on indications with relatively small patient populations, which may further limit enrollment of eligible patients or may result in slower enrollment than we anticipate. The eligibility criteria of our clinical trials, once established, may further limit the pool of available trial participants. For example, the number of patients suffering from Wolfram syndrome and/or PBH,PBH is small and, in some cases, has not been established with precision. If the actual number of patients with these diseases is smaller than we anticipate, we may encounter difficulties in enrolling patients in our clinical trials, thereby delaying or preventing development and approval of avexitide, AMX0035, AMX0114, AMX0318 or any other current or future product candidates. Even once enrolled, we may be unable to retain a sufficient number of patients to complete any of our trials. Neurodegenerative diseases have particular challenges, including significant mobility issues, morbidities and other complications that have historically made retention in clinical trials more challenging. In the past, we have had discontinuations in our clinical trials, including in our CENTAUR trial and our PHOENIX trial, and their open-label extensions. Discontinuations may occur in current or future trials and could result in delays of completion of our clinical trials and affect our ability to enroll additional patients in our clinical trials and impact the integrity of data from our clinical trials.
Any negative results we may report in clinical trials of avexitide, AMX0035, AMX0114AMX0114, AMX0318 or any future product candidate may also make it difficult or impossible to recruit and retain patients in other clinical trials of that same product candidate. For example, the PHOENIX trial did not meet its primary or secondary endpoints, which may discourage patients from participating in clinical trials of AMX0035 in other indications. Delays or failures in planned patient enrollment or retention may result in increased costs, program delays or both, which could have a harmful effect on our ability to develop AMX0035 in Wolfram syndrome and additional indications, avexitide and any other current or future product candidates, or could render further development impossible. Further, if patients drop out of our clinical trials, miss scheduled doses or follow-up visits, or otherwise fail to follow clinical trial protocols, whether as a result of public health epidemics and related illness, the integrity of data from our clinical trials may be compromised or not accepted by the FDA or other regulatory authorities, which would represent a significant setback for the applicable program. In addition, we may rely on CROs and clinical trial sites to ensure proper and timely conduct of our future clinical trials and, while we intend to enter into agreements governing their services, we will be limited in our ability to compel their actual performance.
As product candidates proceed through preclinical studies to late-stage clinical trials towards potential approval and commercialization, it is common thatfor various aspects of the development activities, such as manufacturing methods and formulation, areto be altered along the way in an effort to optimize processes and results. Any of thesesuch changes could cause avexitide, AMX0035 or any other current or future product candidates to perform differently and affect the results of ongoing clinical trials or other future clinical trials conducted with the materials manufactured using altered processes. For example, in seeking approval of AMX0035 in Europe, we submitted data supporting a different formulation of AMX0035 from the formulation evaluated in the CENTAUR trial. Changes to commercial formulations from those studied clinically could lead regulatory authorities to delay the approval of our marketing applications until we can demonstrate through additional clinical data that there is comparability in the bioavailability of the two different formulations or may require us to revert to the prior formulation evaluated clinically. Should we have to conduct comparability testing to bridge earlier clinical data obtained from product candidates produced under earlier manufacturing methods or formulations with the planned commercial formulation, regulatory authorities may disagree on the interpretation of results from this testing. This could delay completion of clinical trials, require the repetition of one or more clinical trials, increase clinical trial costs, delay approval of avexitide, AMX0035 or any other current or future product candidates and jeopardize our ability to commence sales and generate revenue.
Our product candidates require specific shipping, storage, handling and administration, whichwhich, in some cases, may require cold-chain logistics and subject our product candidates to risk of loss or damage if failures occur.
We are currently, and plan to continuecontinue, to, developdeveloping and evaluateevaluating avexitide and evaluateevaluating AMX0035 in other indications other than ALS, and planning to continue to develop other product candidates. We intend to evaluate internal opportunities from avexitide, AMX0035 or other potential product candidates, and also may choose to in-license or acquire other product candidates as well as commercial products to treat patients suffering from neurodegenerative diseases and CNS or other disorders with significant unmet medical needs and limited treatment options. For example, in July 2024, we completed the acquisition of substantially all of the rights, title and interests in, to and under those assets and interests used by Eiger in the development, manufacture and commercialization of avexitide.
We are conducting a clinical trial of avexitide in PBH and may conduct others in other indications as well. As a result, we may forgo or delay pursuit of opportunities with other indications that we believe could have had greater commercial potential or likelihood of success. In addition, we are continuing to evaluate plans to explore the use of other product candidates in ALS and additional neurodegenerative diseases. However, we may focus on or pursue one or more of our target indications over other potential indications and product candidatescandidates. and suchSuch development efforts may not be successful, which would cause us to delay the clinical development and approval of avexitide, AMX0035, AMX0114, AMX0318 and other product candidates. Furthermore, research activities to identify additional indications for avexitide, AMX0035, AMX0114, AMX0318 and other product candidates require substantial technical, financial, and human resources. We may not successfully develop these additional modifications for chemistry-related, stability-related, or other reasons. Our resource allocation decisions may cause us to fail to capitalize on viable commercial products or profitable market opportunities. Our spending on current and future research and development activities for specific indications or formulations of avexitide, AMX0035, AMX0114 or for AMX0318 or other product candidates may not yield any commercially viable products.
Additionally, we may pursue in-licenses or acquisitions of development-stage assets or programs, which entails additional risk to us. For example, in July 2024, we completed the acquisition of substantially all of the rights, title and interests in, to and under those assets and interests used by Eiger in the development, manufacture and commercialization of avexitide.avexitide, and in December 2024, we entered into a collaboration and license agreement with Gubra, which provides us an exclusive license to develop, manufacture, commercialize and otherwise exploit any development candidate and product(s) arising in the performance of activities under the agreement. Identifying, selecting and acquiring promising product candidates requires substantial technical, financial, and human resources expertise and, once acquired, requires us to devote substantial resources. Efforts to do so may not result in the actual acquisition or license of a particular product candidate, and, if acquired, may results in extensive diligence and preparation efforts, each of which may potentially result in a diversion of our management’s time and the expenditure of our resources with no resulting benefit.
Many of our competitors have significantly greater financial resources, established presence in the market,market and expertise in research and development, manufacturing, preclinical and clinical testing, obtaining regulatory approvals and reimbursement and marketing approved products than we do. Accordingly, our competitors may be more successful than we may be in obtaining regulatory approval for therapies and achieving widespread market acceptance. Our competitors’ products may be more effective, or more effectively marketed and sold, than any product candidate we may commercialize and may render avexitide, AMX0035 or any future product candidates obsolete or non-competitive before we can recover development and commercialization expenses. If avexitide or AMX0035 is approved for the indications we are currently pursuing, it could compete with a range of therapeutic treatments that are in development. In addition, our competitors may succeed in developing, acquiring or licensing technologies and products that are more effective or less costly than avexitide, AMX0035 or any future product candidates that we may develop, which could render such product candidates obsolete and noncompetitive.
We received orphanOrphan drugDrug Designation status for AMX0035 for the treatment of patients with Wolfram syndrome in the U.S. in November 2020. Eiger received orphanOrphan drugDrug Designation status for avexitide for the treatment of hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia (which includes PBH and congenital HI) in the U.S. in December 2016 and orphan designation for congenital HI in the EU from the European Commission in November 2019. Generally, if a drug with an orphanOrphan drugDrug designationDesignation subsequently receives the first marketing approval for the indication for which it has such designation, the drug may be entitled to a period of marketing exclusivity, which precludes the FDA or the other regulatory bodies from approving another marketing authorization application for the same drug in the same approved use or indication for that time period. Another drug may receive marketing approval prior to avexitide or AMX0035. The applicable period is seven years in the U.S. and ten years in the EU, which may be extended by six months and two years, respectively, in the case of product candidates that have complied with the respective regulatory agency’s agreed upon pediatric investigation plan. The exclusivity period in the EU may be reduced to six years if, at the end of the fifth year, it is demonstrated that a product no longer meets the criteria for orphan designation or if the product is sufficiently profitable so that market exclusivity is no longer justified. In the EU, during the ten-year period of orphan marketing exclusivity, neither the competent authorities of the EU Member States, the EMA, or the European Commission are permitted to accept applications or grant marketing authorization for similar medicinal products to the authorized orphan product. A “similar medicinal product” is defined as a medicinal product containing a similar active substance or substances as contained in an authorized orphan medicinal product, and which is intended for the same therapeutic indication. Legislation has been proposed by the European Commission and is progressing through the EU legislative process that, if adopted, could reduce the ten-year period of orphan marketing exclusivity for certain orphan medicinal products. Orphan drug exclusivity may be lost if the FDA or the EMA determines that the request for designation was materially defective or if the manufacturer is unable to assure sufficient quantity of the drug to meet the needs of patients with the rare disease or condition. In addition, even after a drug is granted orphan exclusivity and approved, the FDA and the EMA can subsequently approve another drug for the same approved use or indication before the expiration of the seven-year (or ten-year in the EU) exclusivity period if the FDA or the EMA concludes that the later drug is clinically superior in that it is shown to be safer, more effective or makes a major contribution to patient care. In addition, if an orphan designated product receives marketing approval for an indication broader than or different from what is designated, such product may not be entitled to orphan exclusivity. Even though the FDA has granted orphanOrphan drugDrug designationDesignation to AMX0035 for the treatment of Wolfram syndrome, if we receive approval for AMX0035 for a modified or different indication, our current orphanOrphan designationDrug Designation may not provide us with exclusivity.
Accordingly, in any jurisdiction where we or any future collaborators,collaborators receive regulatory approval for avexitide, AMX0035 or one or more future product candidates, we, and any future collaborators,collaborators and our and their contract manufacturers will continue to expend time, money and effort in all areas of regulatory compliance, including manufacturing, production, product surveillance and quality control.
We have relied uponupon, and plan to continue to rely onon, third parties, such as CROs, clinical data management organizations, medical institutions and clinical investigators, to conduct our clinical trials and expect to rely on these third parties to conduct clinical trials of any future product candidate that we develop. Any of these third parties may terminate their engagements with us under certain circumstances. We may not be able to enter into alternative arrangements or do so on commercially reasonable terms. In addition, there is a natural transition period when a new CRO begins work. As a result, delays may occur, which could negatively impact our ability to meet our expected clinical development timelines and harm our business, financial condition and prospects. Clinical trials involve multiple clinical sites, vendors and other third parties and we are dependent on these vendors to ensure appropriate study conduct, statistical analysis and randomization. Errors or deviations they make in any of these activities could impact the usefulness and interpretability of clinical trial results by regulatory authorities. For example, at the Advisory Committee meeting on March 30, 2022, the FDA noted a number of concerns that, in the FDA’s view, impacted the interpretability of the results from the CENTAUR trial. Clinical trials from time to time have deviations where a protocol or standard operating procedure is not perfectly carried out and where corrective actions are taken. While we may perceive these events as low risk, our perception of risk and appropriate corrective actions may differ from that of the regulators’ view. Deviations from protocols or standard operating procedures during studies could result in negative regulatory opinions and outcomes.
We currently engage third-party manufacturers to provide the APIs of avexitide and AMX0035 and for the final drug product formulation of avexitide and AMX0035 that is being or will be being used in our clinical trials and for expanded access and commercial supply, as applicable, and we engage separate third parties for the blending and packaging of finished clinical materials. We must be able to demonstrate comparability of drug substance across suppliers along with stability data across suppliers. We currently rely on single manufacturers to supply each of our APIs. Although we believe that there are several potential alternative manufacturers who could manufacture each of the APIs in avexitide and AMX0035, we may incur added costs and delays in identifying and qualifying any such replacement. Moreover, the extent to which rising demand in certain APIs, geopolitical events, global health crises or economic policies, including tariffs, may impact our ability to procure sufficient supplies for the development of avexitide and AMX0035, and any other current or future products and product candidates will depend on whether the economic challenges caused by such events continue to impact the global economy and supply chains, among many other factors. For example, recent increased demand for GLP-1 and other peptide-based therapeutics has, and in the future could continue to, result in increased competition for our suppliers’ and manufacturers’ services and limited capacity, which could limit our access to, and increase our costs for, production and potentially harm our business and results of operations. There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain adequate third-party contract supply and/or manufacturing capacity for future clinical trials and commercialization, and may in the future need to make prioritization decisions about where our supply of peptide-based API will be distributed, which could potentially impact our commercial supply or commercialization efforts. We cannot be sure that single-source suppliers for the raw materials or components used in our product candidates and products will remain in business or that they will not be purchased by one of our competitors or another company that is not interested in continuing to produce our raw materials or components for our intended purpose. There is no assurance that we will be able to timely secure needed supply arrangements on satisfactory terms, or at all, to meet the clinical demands, the validation requirements for an NDA filing or the potential commercial demands. Our failure to secure these arrangements as needed could have a material adverse effect on our ability to complete the development of avexitide, AMX0035 or any other current or future product candidates or, to commercialize them, if approved. We may be unable to conclude agreements for commercial supply with third-party manufacturers, or may be unable to do so on acceptable terms. There may be difficulties in scaling up to commercial quantities and formulation of avexitide and AMX0035, and the costs of manufacturing could be prohibitive.
We may need to obtain or maintain licenses for active ingredients from third parties to develop and commercialize avexitide, AMX0035 or a future product candidate, which could increase our development costs and delay our ability to commercialize such product candidate.
Should we decide to use API in any of avexitide, AMX0035 or any other current or future product candidates that are proprietary to one or more third parties, we would need to obtain or maintain licenses to those active ingredients from those third parties. If we are unable to gain or continue to access rights to these active ingredients prior to conducting preclinical toxicology studies intended to support clinical trials, we may need to develop alternate product candidates from these programs by either accessing or developing alternate active ingredients, resulting in increased development costs and delays in commercialization of these product candidates. If we are unable to gain or maintain continued access rights to the desired active ingredients on commercially reasonable terms or develop suitable alternate active ingredients, we may not be able to commercialize product candidates from these programs.
We have historically focused our research and product development on treatments of neurodegenerative diseases, and we recently expanded into other diseases, many of which are rare diseases with small addressable patient populations. We base our market opportunity estimates on a variety of factors, including our estimates of the number of people who have these diseases, the potential scope of our approved product labels, the subset of people with these diseases who have the potential to benefit from treatment with avexitide, AMX0035 or any other current or future product candidates, various pricing scenarios,scenarios and our understanding of reimbursement policies for rare diseases in particular countries. These estimates are based on many assumptions and may prove incorrect, and new studies may reduce the estimated incidence or prevalence of these diseases. Estimating market opportunities can be particularly challenging for rare indications, such as the ones we currently address, as epidemiological data is often more limited than for more prevalent indications and can require additional assumptions to assess potential patient populations. If we are unable to identify patients and successfully commercialize avexitide, AMX0035 or any other current or future product candidates with attractive market opportunities, our future product revenues may be smaller than anticipated, and our business may suffer.
Most recently, the Trump Administration has pursued a multi-pronged most-favored-nation (“MFN”) drug pricing strategy that could materially affect our ability to generate revenue from our product candidates, if approved. This strategy includes the May 12, 2025 Executive Order directing HHS to communicate MFN price targets to manufacturers, resulting in voluntary MFN pricing agreements between the Administration and 17 major manufacturers (committing to Medicaid price parity, MFN pricing on new launches, and participation in TrumpRx.gov in exchange for tariff relief and regulatory benefits); CMS’s proposed mandatory GLOBE (Medicare Part B) and GUARD (Medicare Part D) payment models that would impose incremental rebate obligations on manufacturers of qualifying single-source drugs in specified therapeutic categories, and a voluntary Medicaid MFN model (GENEROUS). Legislative proposals, including the “Most Favored Patient Act” introduced in March 2026, seek to codify these initiatives. It is unclear whether these proposals will survive legal challenge (a prior MFN model was halted by federal courts and rescinded); but, this movement represents an evolving area of uncertainty that could materially adversely affect our pricing strategy and revenue, if our product candidates are approved and achieve commercial scale.
Third party patient assistance programs that receive financial support from companies have also become the subject of enhanced government and regulatory scrutiny. The OIG has established guidelines that suggest that it is lawful for pharmaceutical manufacturers to make donations to charitable organizations who provide co-pay assistance to Medicare patients. However, donations to patient assistance programs have received some negative publicity and have been the subject of multiple government enforcement actions, related to allegations regarding their misuse to promote branded pharmaceutical products over other less costly alternatives. Specifically, in recent years, there have been multiple settlements resulting out of government claims challenging the legality of third party patient assistance programs under a variety of federal and state laws. We have in the past and may, from time to time, make charitable grants to independent charitable foundations that help financially needy patients with their premium, co-pay, and co-insurance obligations. If we choose to do so, and if we or our vendors or donation recipients are deemed to fail to comply with relevant laws, regulations or evolving government guidance in the provision of charitable donations or operation of these programs, we could be subject to damages, fines, penalties, or other criminal, civil, or administrative sanctions or enforcement actions. We cannot ensure that our compliance controls, policies, and procedures will be sufficient to protect against acts of our employees, business partners, vendors or charitable foundations that may violate the laws or regulations of the jurisdictions in which we operate. Regardless of whether we have complied with the law, a government investigation, including of any business partners, vendors or charitable foundations, could impact our business practices, harm our reputation, divert the attention of management, increase our expenses, and reduce the availability of foundation support for our patients who need assistance.
Regardless of whether we have complied with the law, a government investigation, including of any business partners, vendors or charitable foundations, could impact our business practices, harm our reputation, divert the attention of management, increase our expenses, and reduce the availability of foundation support for our patients who need assistance.
WePharmaceutical companies with approved products participate in the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program, the 340B program, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, Federal Supply Schedule, or FSS, pricing program, and the Tricare Retail Pharmacy program, which require us to disclosedisclosing average manufacturer pricing,pricing and, in the future may require us to report theand average sales pricepricing for certain of our drugs to the Medicare program.information. Pricing and rebate calculations vary across products and programs, are complex, and are often subject to interpretation by us,the pharmaceutical company, governmental or regulatory agencies and the courts. Furthermore, regulatory and legislative changes, and judicial rulings relating to these programs and policies (including coverage expansion), have increased and will continue to increase ourthe costscost and the complexity of compliance, have been and will continue to be time-consuming to implement, andand, once we have approved products, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, particularly if CMS or another agency challenges the approach we take in our implementation. For example, in the case of our Medicaid pricing data, if wea becomepharmaceutical company becomes aware that ourits reporting for a prior quarter was incorrect or has changed as a result of recalculation of the pricing data, wethe arecompany is generally obligated to resubmit the corrected data for up to three years after those data originally were due. SuchOnce we have approved products, if we are required to submit these corrected data, such restatements increase our costs and could result in an overage or underage in our rebate liability for past quarters. Price recalculations also may affect the ceiling price at which wea arepharmaceutical company is required to offer our products under the 340B program and give rise to an obligation to refund entities participating in the 340B program for overcharges during past quarters impacted by a price recalculation.
Civil monetary penalties can be applied if wea arepharmaceutical company is found to have knowingly submitted any false price or product information to the government, if we are found to have made a misrepresentation in the reporting of our average sales price, ifto wehave failfailed to submit the required price data on a timely basis, or if we are found to have charged 340B covered entities more than the statutorily mandated ceiling price. Additionally, oura pharmaceutical company’s agreement to participate in the 340B program or ourthe Medicaid drug rebate agreement could be terminated, in which case federal payments may not be available under Medicaid or Medicare Part D for our covered outpatient drugs. Additionally, if wea overchargepharmaceutical company overcharges the government in connection with our arrangements with FSS or Tricare Retail Pharmacy, weit areis required to refund the difference to the government. Failure to make necessary disclosures and/or to identify contract overcharges can result in allegations against us under the FCA and other laws and regulations. Unexpected refunds to the government, and responding to a government investigation or enforcement action, would beare expensive and time-consuming, andand, to the extent applied to us once we have approved products, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects.
Further, legislation may be introduced that, if passed, would, among other things, further expand the 340B program to additional covered entities or would require participating manufacturers to agree to provide 340B discounted pricing on drugs used in an inpatient setting, and any additional future changes to the definition of average manufacturer price or the Medicaid rebate amount could affect oura company’s 340B ceiling price calculations and negatively impact ourthe results of operations. Additionally, certain pharmaceutical manufacturers are involved in ongoing litigation regarding contract pharmacy arrangements under the 340B program. The outcome of this and other judicial proceedings on the 340B program and the potential impact on the way in which manufacturers extend discounts to covered entities through contract pharmacies under the 340B program remain uncertain.
We maycurrently use and integrate artificial intelligence, or AI, intoin certain aspects of our business processes both in our own development and implementation of AI and through the adoption of commercially available tools.AI tools and platforms. We are not currently developing our own AI technologies, although we may do so in the future. Use of thisAI technology could pose cybersecurity, data privacy, IT, intellectual property, regulatory, legal, operational, competitive, reputational and other risks and challenges that could affect our business. Specifically, risks related to accuracy, bias, artificial intelligence hallucinations, discrimination, harmful content, misinformation, fraud, scams, targeted attacks (including model poisoning or data poisoning), surveillance, data leakage, inequality, environmental harms, and other harms may flow from our development, use, or deployment of AI technologies. If we enable or use solutions that draw controversy due to perceived or actual negative societal impact, we may experience brand or reputational harm, competitive harm or legal liability.
Our commercial success depends in large part on our ability to obtain and maintain intellectual property rights protection through patents, trademarks and trade secrets in the U.S. and other countries with respect to our proprietary product candidates, avexitide, AMX0035, AMX0114, AMX0318, and any future proprietary product candidates. If we do not adequately protect our intellectual property rights, competitors may be able to erode, negate or preempt any competitive advantage we may have, which could harm our business and ability to sustain profitability. To protect our proprietary position, we have filed patent applications and may file other patent applications in the U.S. or abroad related to AMX0035, AMX0114, AMX0318 or any other current or future product candidates that are important to our business; we may also license or purchase patents or patent applications filed by others. With respect to protection of our intellectual property rights in avexitide, our acquisition of that product candidate from Eiger includes acquisition of all of Eiger’s owned and co-owned patents and applications directed to avexitide, as well as assuming Eiger’s licenses to patents and applications directed to avexitide and owned and co-owned by other entities. The patent application process is expensive and time-consuming. We may not be able to file and prosecute all necessary or desirable patent applications at a reasonable cost or in a timely manner.
If the scope of the patent protection we obtain is not sufficiently broad, we may not be able to prevent others from developing and commercializing technology and products similar or identical to ours. The degree of patent protection we require to successfully compete in the marketplace may be unavailable or severely limited in some cases and may not adequately protect our rights or permit us to gain or keep any competitive advantage. We cannot provide any assurances that any of our patents have, or that any of our pending owned patent applications that mature into issued patents will include claims with a scope sufficient to protect our proprietary therapeutics or otherwise provide any competitive advantage. Other parties have developed or may develop technologies that may be related or competitive with our approach, and may have filed or may file patent applications and may have been issued or may be issued patents with claims that overlap or conflict with our patent applications, either by claiming the same compounds, formulations or methods or by claiming subject matter that could dominate our patent position. In addition, the laws of foreign countries may not protect our rights to the same extent as the laws of the U.S. Furthermore, patents have a limited lifespan. In the U.S., the natural expiration of a patent is generally twenty years after it is filed. Various extensions may be available; however, the life of a patent, and the protection it affords, is limited. Given the amount of time required for the development, testing and regulatory review of new product candidates, patents protecting such candidates might expire before or shortly after such candidates are commercialized. As a result, our patent portfolio may not provide us with adequate and continuing patent protection sufficient to exclude others from commercializing products similar to avexitide, AMX0035, AMX0114AMX0114, AMX0318 or any other current or future product candidates. In the event that an alternative combination of AMX0035, or TURSO as a single drug product, is developed and approved for use in indications for which we may seek approval and falls outside the scope of our patent claims, the marketability and commercial success of AMX0035 could be materially harmed.
Even if they are unchallenged, our owned patents and pending patent applications, if issued, may not provide us with any meaningful protection or prevent competitors from designing around our patent claims to circumvent our patents by developing similar or alternative therapeutics in a non-infringing manner. For example, a third party may develop a competitive therapy that provides benefits similar to our product candidate but falls outside the scope of our patent protection or license rights. If the patent protection provided by the patent and patent applications we hold or pursue with respect to avexitide, AMX0035, AMX0114AMX0114, AMX0318 or any other current or future product candidates is not sufficiently broad to impede such competition, our ability to successfully commercialize our product candidate could be negatively affected, which would harm our business.
The patent application process is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, and there can be no assurance that we or any of our future development partners will be successful in protecting avexitide, AMX0035, AMX0114, AMX0318 or any other current or future product candidates by obtaining and defending patents. These risks and uncertainties include the following:
our competitors, many of whom have substantially greater resources and many of whom have made significant investments in competing technologies, may seek or may have already obtained patents that will limit, interfere with or eliminate our ability to make, use, and sell avexitide, AMX0035AMX0035, AMX0114, or AMX0114AMX0318;
Our commercial success will depend in part on obtaining and maintaining patent protection and trade secret protection for our product candidates, avexitide, AMX0035AMX0035, AMX0114, and AMX0114,AMX0318, as well as on successfully defending these patents against potential third-party challenges. Our ability to protect our product candidate from unauthorized making, using, selling, offering to sell or importing by third parties is dependent on the extent to which we have rights under valid and enforceable patents that cover these activities.
we may not successfully commercialize avexitide, AMX0035AMX0035, AMX0114 or AMX0114AMX0318 before our relevant patents expire;
In addition, to the extent that we are unable to obtain and maintain patent protection for avexitide, AMX0035, orAMX0114, AMX0114AMX0318 or any other current or future product candidates or in the event that such patent protection expires, it may no longer be cost-effective to extend our portfolio by pursuing additional development of a product or product candidate for follow-on indications.
In addition, market exclusivities may be available for our product candidates and indications. If any product we develop does not receive five years of NCE exclusivity, the FDA may approve generic versions of such product three years after its date of approval, subject to the requirement that the ANDA applicant certifies to the invalidity or non-infringement of any patents listed for our products in the Orange Book. If an infringement suit is timely filed by the NDA or patent holder, the FDA cannot finally approve the ANDA for 30 months unless a court decision in favor of the generic manufacturer is issued earlier. Three-year exclusivity is given to a drug if it contains an active moiety that has previously been approved, and the NDA includes reports of one or more new clinical investigations, other than bioavailability or bioequivalence studies, that were conducted by or for the applicant and are determined by the FDA to be essential to the approval of the NDA. This form of data exclusivity is known as New Clinical Investigation, or NCI, exclusivity. If avexitide is approved for future uses and, if AMX0035 is approved for future uses, such as Wolfram syndrome, or if other current and future candidates, such as AMX0114,AMX0114 or AMX0318, are approved with only NCI exclusivity, generic manufacturers may file their ANDAs anytime following approval of avexitide, AMX0035, AMX0114, or AMX0114AMX0318 and seek to launch their generic products following the expiration of the three year market exclusivity period, even if we still have patent protection for our product.
Competition that avexitide, AMX0035, AMX0114AMX0114, AMX0318 or any future products, if approved, may face from generic versions of such products could negatively impact our future revenue, profitability and cash flows and substantially limit our ability to obtain a return on our investments in those product candidates.
A third party or former employee or collaborator may claim an inventorship or ownership interest in one or more of our or our licensors’ patents or other proprietary or intellectual property rights. A third party could bring legal actions against us and seek monetary damages and/or enjoin clinical testing, manufacturing and marketing of the affected product or products. While we are presently unaware of any claims or assertions by third parties with respect to inventorship or ownership of our patents or other intellectual property, we cannot guarantee that a third party will not assert a claim or an interest in any of such patents or intellectual property. If we fail in defending any such claims, in addition to paying monetary damages, we may lose valuable intellectual property rights, such as exclusive ownership of, or right to use, intellectual property that is important to avexitide, AMX0035, AMX0114, AMX0318 or any other current or future product candidates. Further, regardless of the outcome, if we become involved in any litigation, it could consume a substantial portion of our resources, and cause a significant diversion of effort by our technical and management personnel.
If we are sued for infringing intellectual property rights of third parties, such litigation could be costly and time consuming and could prevent or delay us from developing or commercializing avexitide, AMX0035, AMX0114, AMX0318 or any other current or future product candidates.
Our commercial success depends, in part, on our ability to develop, manufacture, market and sell our product candidate without infringing the intellectual property and other proprietary rights of third parties. However, our research, development and commercialization activities may be subject to claims that we infringe or otherwise violate patents or other intellectual property rights owned or controlled by third parties. Third parties may have U.S. and non-U.S. issued patents and pending patent applications relating to compounds, methods of manufacturing compounds and/or methods of use for the treatment of the disease indications for which we are developing avexitide, AMX0035, AMX0114, AMX0318 or any other current or future product candidates. If any third-party patents or patent applications are found to cover avexitide, AMX0035, AMX0114, AMX0318 or any other current or future product candidates or their methods of use or manufacture, we may not be free to manufacture or market such product candidates as planned without obtaining a license, which may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, or at all.
There is a substantial amount of intellectual property litigation in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries, and we may become party to, or threatened with, litigation or other adversarial proceedings regarding intellectual property rights with respect to our products candidates, including patent infringement lawsuits in the U.S. or abroad. There may be third-party patents or patent applications with claims to materials, formulations, methods of manufacture or methods for treatment related to the composition, use or manufacture of avexitide, AMX0035, AMX0114, AMX0318 or any other current or future product candidates. While we perform periodic searches for relevant patents and patent applications with respect to our proprietary drug candidates, avexitide, AMX0035, AMX0114, AMX0318, we cannot guarantee that any of our patent searches or analyses including, but not limited to, the identification of relevant patents, the scope of patent claims or the expiration of relevant patents are complete or thorough, nor can we be certain that we have identified each and every patent and pending application in the U.S. and abroad that is relevant to or necessary for the commercialization of avexitide, AMX0035, AMX0114, AMX0318 or any other current or future product candidates in any jurisdiction. Because patent applications can take many years to issue, there may be currently pending patent applications which may later result in issued patents that avexitide, AMX0035, AMX0114, AMX0318 or any other current or future product candidates may be accused of infringing. In addition, third parties may obtain patents in the future and claim that use of our technologies infringes upon these patents. Accordingly, third parties may assert infringement claims against us based on intellectual property rights that exist now or arise in the future. The outcome of intellectual property litigation is subject to uncertainties that cannot be adequately quantified in advance. The pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries have produced a significant number of patents, and it may not always be clear to industry participants, including us, which patents cover various types of products or methods of use or manufacture. The scope of protection afforded by a patent is subject to interpretation by the courts, and the interpretation is not always uniform. If we were sued for patent infringement, we would need to demonstrate that our product candidate, product or method either do not infringe the patent claims of the relevant patent or that the patent claims are invalid or unenforceable, and we may not be able to do this. Proving invalidity is difficult. For example, in the U.S., proving invalidity requires a showing of clear and convincing evidence to overcome the presumption of validity enjoyed by issued patents. Even if we are successful in these proceedings, we may incur substantial costs and the time and attention of our management and scientific personnel could be diverted in pursuing these proceedings, which could significantly harm our business and operating results. In addition, parties making claims against us may be able to sustain the costs of complex patent litigation more effectively than we can because they have substantially greater resources, and we may not have sufficient resources to bring these actions to a successful conclusion.

LUCIDITY (NCT06747468) is a 78-participant, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of avexitide in participants with PBH following RYGB surgery. The Phase 3 trial is being conducted at 21 sites in the U.S. Participants were randomized 3:2 to receive either 90 mg of avexitide subcutaneously once daily or placebo. The trial includes an up to six-week screening period, including a three-week run-in period, a 16-week double-blind treatment period, and an open-label extension (OLE) period with a duration of 32 weeks. The last participant completed the final trial visit in the 16-week double-blind period of the LUCIDITY trial of avexitide. The primary efficacy objective of LUCIDITY is to evaluate the FDA-agreed uponFDA-agreed-upon primary outcome of reduction in the composite of Level 2 and Level 3 hypoglycemic events through Week 16. Safety and tolerability will also be evaluated. Enrollment for LUCIDITY was completed in March 2026. We continue to expect to announce topline data in the third quarter of 2026, andand, if approved, a commercial launch in 2027.
In the Phase 2b, 28-day, open-label, investigator-initiated, crossover trial (n=16), 90 mg once daily and 45 mg twice daily of avexitide met its primary endpoint and significantly reduced rates of hypoglycemic events in participants following a variety of upper gastrointestinal surgeries, including RYGB, sleeve gastrectomy, esophagectomy, Nissen fundoplication, and gastrectomy. Participants in the Phase 2b trial receiving 90 mg once daily of avexitide, the dose Amylyxwe isare evaluating in LUCIDITY, saw a statistically significant 53% reduction in Level 2 hypoglycemic events (p=0.004) and a statistically significant 66% reduction in Level 3 hypoglycemic events (p=0.0003). There were no reported serious AEs, and AEs were mostly mild to moderate and resolved without medical treatment. The most common AEs included diarrhea, headache, bloating, and injection site reaction/bruising. No participant withdrew due to AEs. In the Phase 2b trial, 90 mg once daily of avexitide has also demonstrated a favorable pharmacokinetic profile maintaining exposure in the therapeutic range through 24 hours, supporting once daily dosing.
In May 2025, we announced positive data from HELIOS at Week 48. Consistent with the HELIOS trial’s previously presented primary efficacy outcome of improvement in pancreatic function (as described above), treatment with AMX0035 through Week 48 demonstrated continued and sustained improvement in pancreatic beta cell function. Treatment with AMX0035 from Week 24 to Week 48 also showed sustained improvements or stabilization in glycemic control, as measured by hemoglobin A1c, or HbA1c, and time in target glucose range assessed by continuous glucose monitoring, as well as visual acuity. All participants with available measurements met the responder criteria, defined as either improvement or no change, on both the Patient Global Impression of Change and Clinician Global Impression of Change at Weeks 24 and 48, indicating stability or improvement in their Wolfram syndrome-related symptoms. Results from qualitative on-study interviews further supported the potential positive impact of AMX0035 on symptom burden. In June 2026, we presented longer-term Week 96 (n=9) data from HELIOS. At Week 96, measures of pancreatic function and glycemic control were stable or improved relative to baseline in most participants. Visual acuity and patient- and clinician-reported outcomes showed patterns consistent with disease stabilization with interpretation limited by the open-label, single-arm design and small sample size.
The safety profile of AMX0035 in HELIOS data at Week 4896, Week 48, and Week 24 were generally consistent with prior safety data from the studies of AMX0035. AllNearly all AEs were mild or moderate, and there were no serious AEs related to AMX0035 treatment. We anticipate presenting longer-term Week 96 data from HELIOS at an upcoming scientific meeting. We continue to work with the FDA on a Phase 3 trial in Wolfram syndrome. In addition, Amylyx is committed to supporting medically and scientifically sound research, including externally-sponsored research conducted with an institution or organization. Breakthrough T1D has provided funding to University of Washington and Amsterdam University Medical Center for a trial investigating AMX0035 as adjunctive therapy for treatment of insulin resistance in type 1 diabetes. Amylyx will provide clinical trial supply of AMX0035.

The Phase 1 LUMINA clinical trial (NCT06665165) is a multinational, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multiple ascending dose trial evaluating the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of AMX0114 in people living with ALS. LUMINA will also assess change from baseline in calpain-2 levels, NfL levels, and other pharmacodynamic biomarkers of ALS. LUMINA is anticipated to enroll approximately 48 adult participants. Participants will be randomized 3:1 to receive AMX0114 or placebo by intrathecal administration once every four weeks for a total of up to four doses. We completed enrollment of Cohort 1 (n=12) of LUMINA in September 2025 and completed enrollment of Cohort 2 (n=12) in March 2026.
In June 2026, we presented Cohort 1 biomarker data at the Annual Meeting of the European Network to Cure ALS. AMX0114 showed no drug-related serious adverse events, or SAEs, and no serious nervous system disorder adverse events, or AEs, in Cohort 1 (lowest dose level 12.5 mg). These safety findings support continued evaluation of AMX0114 at higher dose levels in this multiple ascending dose trial. Biomarker levels, including spectrin breakdown product 145, or SBDP-145, neurofilament light, or NfL, and phosphorylated neurofilament heavy, or pNFH, remained near baseline at Day 145. Cohorts 1 and Cohort 2 (25 mg) are fully enrolled, and Cohort 3 (50 mg) is currently enrolling.
In December 2025, we presented initial safety and tolerability data from Cohort 1 (n=12) of LUMINA demonstrating AMX0114 was generally well-tolerated, with no treatment-related serious AEs. Cohort 1 biomarker data from LUMINA is expected to be presented at the 2026 European Network to Cure ALS (ENCALS) Annual Meeting in June 2026. Cohort 1 of LUMINA is investigating the first and lowest of four doses being evaluated in the trial. The data are expected to provide initial information about the levels of the ALS biomarkers being assessed from the first dose in the LUMINA trial.
AMX0318 is a novel GLP-1 receptor antagonist for long-acting administration selected as a development candidate for PBH and other rare diseases in January 2026. AMX0318 was selected as a development candidate after demonstrating robust preclinical and chemical properties, including a favorable pharmacokinetic profile that may support long-acting administration, a robust chemical stability profile, strong in vitro potency, evidence of in vivo activity and tolerability, and high solubility. AMX0318 was identified through a research collaboration with Gubra A/S,Gubra, a company specializing in peptide-based drug discovery and preclinical contract research services. IND-enabling studies for AMX0318 are underway with an IND submission targeted for 2027.
We entered into a second research collaboration with Gubra in July 2026 to identify potential development candidates for a rare endocrine disease of high unmet need.
As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $279.8$250.8 million and an accumulated deficit of $792.7$836.1 million. We believe our existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of MarchJune 31,30, 2026 will be sufficient to fund our operations into 2028. We have based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could exhaust our available capital resources sooner than we expect. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below.
Comparison of the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and 2025
The following table summarizes our research and development expenses for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and 2025 (in thousands):
Research and development expenses were $27.6$23.8 million for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, compared to $22.1$27.2 million for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2025. The increasedecrease was primarily due to a $4.6$7.1 million decrease in expenses related to AMX0035 for the treatment of PSP after its discontinuation. The decrease was partially offset by a $2.3 million increase in expenses related to the pivotal Phase 3 LUCIDITY clinical trial in PBH and other costs related to avexitide, and a $4.2 million increase in expenses related to other programs. Other programs includes milestone payments totaling $4.0 million made to Gubra following the selection and handover of AMX0318 as a development candidate for PBH and other rare diseases during the three months ended March 31, 2026. The increase was offset by a $3.9 million decrease in expenses related to AMX0035 for the treatment of PSP after its discontinuation.avexitide.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $16.2$21.9 million for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 compared to $15.7$15.6 million for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2025. The increase was primarily due to an increaseincreases of $0.7$5.6 million in consulting and professional services,services and $1.0 million in payroll and personnel-related costs, including stock-based compensation, partially offset by a decrease of $0.2$0.3 million in other expenses. The increase in consulting and professional services iswas primarily due to increased spend for legal expenses related to the settlement of the February 2024 Shih Complaint, as well as an increase in commercial and marketing activity as we prepare for a potential commercial launch of avexitide, if approved, as well as increased spend for general legal services.approved.

Research and Development Expenses
The following table summarizes our research and development expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 (in thousands):
Research and development expenses were $51.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $49.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily due to a $6.8 million increase in expenses related to the pivotal Phase 3 LUCIDITY clinical trial in PBH and other costs related to avexitide, and a $4.1 million increase in expenses related to other programs, including milestone payments totaling $4.0 million made to Gubra following the selection and handover of AMX0318 as a development candidate for PBH and other rare diseases during the six months ended June 30, 2026. The increase was partially offset by a $11.0 million decrease in expenses related to AMX0035 for the treatment of PSP after its discontinuation.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $38.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $31.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily due to increases of $6.3 million in consulting and professional services and $1.0 million in payroll and personnel-related costs, including stock-based compensation, partially offset by a decrease of $0.5 million in other expenses. The increase in consulting and professional services was primarily due to increased spend for legal expenses related to the settlement of the February 2024 Shih Complaint, as well as an increase in commercial and marketing activity as we prepare for a potential commercial launch of avexitide, if approved. The increase in payroll and personnel-related costs was primarily due to hiring additional personnel to support our pre-commercialization activities.
As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $279.8$250.8 million and an accumulated deficit of $792.7$836.1 million. We believe our existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of MarchJune 31,30, 2026 will be sufficient to fund our operations into 2028. We have based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could exhaust our available capital resources sooner than we expect.
Since inception, we have devoted substantially all of our efforts to research and development, pre-commercialization and commercialization activities, including recruiting management and technical staff, raising capital, producing materials for preclinical studies and clinical trials, and building infrastructure to support such activities. As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we have funded our operations primarily through public offerings of our common stock, private sales of preferred stock, convertible notes, and through revenue from sales of RELYVRIO and ALBRIOZA in the U.S. and Canada, respectively, between July 2022 and April 2024.
Despite the decline in research and development and general administrative expenses in 2025 as compared to 2024, weWe expect our expenses to increase in connection with our ongoing activities, particularly as we advance the preclinical activities, manufacturing and clinical trials of avexitide, AMX0035, AMX0114, AMX0318 and any other current or future product candidates or acquire or in-license additional product candidates or products. We may also incur expenses related to business development activities, such as in-licensing or acquisition of product candidates. In addition, we expect to incur additional costs associated with operating as a public company, including significant legal, accounting, investor relations and other expenses. We expect to incur significant expenses as we:
seek to identify and develop, acquire or in-license additional product candidates or other assetsassets, including through our recent collaboration agreement with Gubra;
