We expect to incur significant costs in our efforts to detect, prevent, and respond to security incidents. We also rely on third parties to manufacture our product candidates, and similar events relating to their systems could also have a material adverse effect on our business. There have been and may continue to be significant supply chain attacks and operational technology attacks globally, and we cannot guarantee that our systems or those of third-party service providers or other third parties that support us or our operations have not been breached or that they do not contain exploitable defects or bugs that could result in a security incident or breach of, or other disruption to, our systems or the systems of third parties that support us and our operations.see in full comparisonTo the extent that anyAny disruption or security incidentwere tomay result inadamage to, or loss,destructiondestruction, alteration, oralterationotherof,unauthorizedorprocessingdamage to,of our data, or inappropriate disclosure of confidential or proprietary information, we could be exposed to litigation and governmentalinvestigations,investigations and other proceedings and actions, delays in thefurtherdevelopment and commercialization of our productcandidates could be delayed,candidates, andwesubjectcould be subjectus to significantfinesfines,or penalties for any noncompliance with certain state, federal or international laws relating to privacy, data protection,penalties, andinformationothersecurity.liabilities.LitigationLitigation, governmental investigations, andgovernmentalotherinvestigationsactions and proceedings could force us to spend money in defense or settlement, divert management’s time and attention, increase our costs of doing business, and adversely affect our reputation.

Our management has concluded that due to our need for additional capital, and the uncertainties surrounding our ability to raise such funding, substantial doubt exists as to our ability to continue as a going concern.
Our audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 were prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. The going concern basis of presentation assumes that we will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize our assets and discharge our liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business and do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from our inability to continue as a going concern. Our management concluded as of December 31, 2025 that due to our need for additional capital and the uncertainties surrounding our ability to raise such funding, substantial doubt exists as to our ability to continue as a going concern for a period from one year after our financial statements have been issued. We believe our cash and cash equivalents balance as of December 31, 2025 will be sufficient to fund our operations, at our projected cost structure, into the fourth quarter of 2026. We cannot be certain that we will be able to make any other sale of our common stock in any future offering to cover our future capital needs, or at all. Changing circumstances may cause us to consume capital significantly faster or slower than we currently anticipate. If we are delayed in completing or are unable to complete additional funding and/or a strategic transaction, we may discontinue our development activities or operations, but there are no assurances that these reductions would be sufficient to allow us to continue to operate as a going concern. Therefore, even if we resolve this uncertainty, management could conclude that uncertainty as to our ability to continue as a going concern could exist at a future date.
We have based these estimates on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could exhaust our available financial resources sooner than we currently anticipate. We may be forced to reduce our operating expenses and raise additional funds to meet our working capital needs, principally through the additional sales of our securities or debt financings. However, we cannot guarantee that will be able to obtain sufficient additional funds when needed or that such funds, if available, will be obtainable on terms satisfactory to us. If we are unable to raise sufficient additional capital or complete a strategic transaction, we may be unable to continue to fund our operations, develop our product candidates, or realize value from our assets and discharge our liabilities in the normal course of business. If we cannot raise sufficient funds, we may have to liquidate our assets, and might realize significantly less than the values at which they are carried on our financial statements, and stockholders may lose all or part of their investment in our common stock.
We have never generated any revenue from commercial product sales. To become and remain profitable, we must develop and eventually commercialize product candidates with significant market potential, which will require us to be successful in a range of challenging activities. These activities can include completing preclinical studies and clinical trials of our product candidates, obtaining marketing approval for these product candidates, manufacturing, marketingmarketing, and selling those products that are approved and satisfying any post-marketing requirements. We do not anticipate generating any revenue from product sales for many years. Our ability to generate revenue and achieve profitability depends significantly on our ability to achieve several objectives, including:
We may never be successful in achieving our objectives and, even if we do, may never generate revenue that is significant or large enough to achieve profitability. If we do achieve profitability, we may not be able to sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis. Our failure to become and remain profitable would decrease our value and could impair our ability to maintain or further our research and development efforts, raise additional necessary capital, grow our businessbusiness, and continue our operations.
We have not previously submitted an NDA to the FDA or similar approval filings to a comparable foreign regulatory authority for any product candidate. An NDA or other relevant regulatory filing must include extensive nonclinical and clinical data and supporting information to establish that the product candidate is safe and effective for each desired indication. The NDA or other relevant regulatory filing must also include significant information regarding the chemistry, manufacturingmanufacturing, and controls for the product candidate. We cannot be certain that our current or future product candidates will be successful in clinical trials or receive regulatory approval. If we do not receive regulatory approvals for current or future product candidates, we may not be able to continue our operations. Even if we successfully obtain regulatory approval to market a product candidate, our revenue will depend, in part, upon the size of the markets in the territories for which we receive regulatory approval and have commercial rights, the availability of competitive therapies and whether there are sufficient levels of reimbursement and adoption by physicians.
Developing pharmaceutical products, including conducting preclinical studies and clinical trials, is expensive. We have not generated any revenues from the commercial sale of products and will not be able to generate any product revenues until, and only if, we receive approval to sell our product candidates from the FDA or other regulatory authorities. Our cash, cash equivalents and short termshort-term investments are expected to fund operations into the fourth quarter of 2026. However, as we have not generated any revenue from commercial sales to date and do not expect to generate any revenue for several years, if ever, we will need to raise substantial additional capital in order to fund our general corporate activities and to fund our research and development, including our currently planned clinical trials and plans for new clinical trials and product development.
We are currently evaluating OKI-219 in a Phase 1 clinical trial. We will be required to demonstrate thorough, adequateadequate, and well controlled clinical trials that OKI-219 is safe and effective, with a favorable benefit-risk profile, for use in its target indication before we can seek regulatory approvals for its commercial sale. Our initial clinical trials will begin with relatively small cohorts before expanding in size in subsequent cohorts. If safety issues arise in an early cohort, we may be delayed or prevented from subsequently expanding into larger trial cohorts. Our ability to generate product revenue, which we do not expect will occur for many years, if ever, will depend heavily on the successful clinical development and eventual commercialization of OKI-219. We are not permitted to market or promote any product candidate before we receive marketing approval from the FDA, European Medicines Agency (“EMA”) or any comparable foreign regulatory authorities, and we may never receive such marketing approvals.
We have limited resources and are currently focusing our efforts on OKI-219 for development in particular indications and advancing our other preclinical and discovery research programs. As a result, we may fail to capitalize on programs, product candidates or indications that may be more profitable or for which there is a greater likelihood of success.
In addition, the FDA and other regulatory authorities may change their policies, issue additional regulations or revise existing regulations, or take other actions, such as those implemented by the Department of Government Efficiency, which may prevent or delay approval of our products under development on a timely basis. Such policy or regulatory changes could impose additional requirements upon us that could delay our ability to obtain approvals, increase the costs of compliance or restrict our ability to maintain any marketing authorizations we may have obtained. In view of the overturning of the Chevron doctrine in Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo, this Supreme Court decision may invite various stakeholders to bring lawsuits against the FDA to challenge longstanding decisions and policies. Additionally, changes in the leadership of the FDA and other federal agencies under the Trumpcurrent U.S. presidential administration may also lead to new policies and changes in the regulations and operations of the FDA, which may impact our clinical development plans.
Further, under the new leadership at the HHS under the current administration, agency reorganization, mass layoffs due to the reduction in force initiative, and other measures implemented by the Department of Government Efficiency may impact the normal operations of FDA as well as other federal agencies. FDA may lack adequate staff and resources to meet current review, approval, and inspection schedules, which could delay our anticipated timelines. In January 2025, an executive order entitled “Unleashing Prosperity Through Deregulation”, was issued calling for at least ten existing regulations to be repealed whenever an executive department or agency publicly proposes for notice and comment or otherwise promulgates a new regulation. Elimination of agency guidance documents could interfere with FDA programs or lead to more Complete Response Letters or refusals to approve products. Recent developments at the FDA include implementation of Elsa, a generative AI tool, across all centers at the agency, announcement of a plan to phase out animal testing for monoclonal antibodies and certain other drugs, and the announcement of a new Commissioner’s National Priority Voucher program to companies supporting certain U.S. national health priorities and interests. The FDA has also increased its scrutiny of foreign drug manufacturing facilities and other contractors based in China, especially with respect to the transfer of biological materials, genetic data, and other sensitive data of American patients to parties located in China. FDA’s “real-time” release of newly issued Complete Response Letters associated with withdrawn or abandoned applications, if applicable to any of our product candidates, can materially impact our competitive advantage and intellectual property. There is significant uncertainty in the industry around how federal agencies like the FDA will change in the coming years under the current administration. It is unclear how our industry and our clinical programs will be affected by policies and regulations implemented under the current administration and FDA commissioner, or other executive orders. There is significant uncertainty in the industry regarding the ways in which federal agencies like the FDA will change in the coming years under the current administration. To the extent the agency reorganization and other agency changes lead to disruptions in FDA’s operations, our correspondence and regulatory review processes with FDA may be materially delayed.
Our product candidates may cause significant adverse events, toxicities or other undesirable side effects when used alone or in combination with other approved products or investigational new drugs that may result in a safety profile that could prevent regulatory approval, prevent market acceptance, limit their commercial potentialpotential, or result in significant negative consequences.
If our product candidates are associated with undesirable side effects or have unexpected characteristics in preclinical studies or clinical trials when used alone or in combination with other approved products or investigational new drugs, we may need to interrupt, delaydelay, or abandon their development or limit development to more narrow uses or subpopulations in which the undesirable side effects or other characteristics are less prevalent, less severesevere, or more acceptable from a risk-benefit perspective. Treatment-related side effects could also affect patient recruitment or the ability of enrolled subjects to complete the trial or result in potential product liability claims. Any of these occurrences may prevent us from achieving or maintaining market acceptance of the affected product candidate and may harm our business, financial condition and prospects significantly.
Patients in our ongoing and planned clinical trials may suffer significant adverse events or other side effects not observed in our preclinical studies or previous clinical trials. Patients treated with our product candidates may also be undergoing surgical, radiationradiation, and chemotherapy treatments, which can cause side effects or adverse events that are unrelated to our product candidate but may still impact the success of our clinical trials. The inclusion of critically ill patients in our clinical trials may result in deaths or other adverse medical events due to other therapies or medications that such patients may be using or due to the gravity of such patients’ illnesses. For example, it is expected that some of the patients enrolled in our clinical trials will die or experience major clinical events either during the course of our clinical trials or after participating in such trials.
If significant adverse events or other side effects are observed in any of our current or future clinical trials, we may have difficulty recruiting patients to the clinical trials, patients may drop out of our trials, or we may be required to abandon the trials or our development efforts of that product candidate altogether. We, the FDA, and other comparable regulatory authorities or an IRB may suspend clinical trials of a product candidate at any time for various reasons, including a belief that subjects in such trials are being exposed to unacceptable health risks or adverse side effects. Some potential therapeutics developed in the biotechnology industry that initially showed therapeutic promise in early-stage trials have later been found to cause side effects that prevented their further development. Even if the side effects do not preclude the product candidate from obtaining or maintaining marketing approval, undesirable side effects may inhibit market acceptance due to its tolerability versus other therapies. Any of these developments could materially harm our business, financial conditioncondition, and prospects. Further, if any of our product candidates obtains marketing approval, toxicities associated with such product candidates previously not seen during clinical testing may also develop after such approval and lead to a requirement to conduct additional clinical safety trials, additional contraindications, warnings and precautions being added to the drug label, significant restrictions on the use of the productproduct, or the withdrawal of the product from the market. We cannot predict whether our product candidates will cause toxicities in humans that would preclude or lead to the revocation of regulatory approval based on preclinical studies or early-stage clinical trials.
The outcome of preclinical testing and early clinical trials may not be predictive of the success of later clinical trials, and the results of our clinical trials may not satisfy the requirements of the FDA, EMAEMA, or other comparable foreign regulatory authorities.
We will be required to demonstrate with substantial evidence through well controlled clinical trials that our product candidates are safe and effective for use in a diverse population before we can seek marketing approvals for their commercial sale. Success in preclinical studies and early-stage clinical trials does not mean that future clinical trials will be successful. For example, we previously decided to cease developing another product candidate, known as OKI-179, despite promising early data. In addition, in December 2024, we announced preliminary safety, tolerability and PK data from PIKture-01, with a cutoff date of October 28, 2024, which supported our initiation of Part 1b of PIKture-01. These data are considered preliminary,preliminary and wedo not include efficacy data. We plan to provide updatedadditional data in the secondfirst halfquarter of 2025.2026. We cannot predict whether these updatedadditional data will be consistent with the preliminary data announced in December 2024, or whether the data from Part 1b of PIKture-01 will be positive or consistent with our preliminary data from Part 1a of PIKture-01.data. If the updatedadditional data from Part 1a or the future data from Part 1b of PIKture-01 are not positive or fail to support further advancement of OKI-219, we could experience volatility or a substantial decline in our stock price. Further, even if such data are positive,positive and we decide to pursue future clinical trials of OKI-219OKI-219, these trials may not be successful.
In some instances, there can be significant variability in safety and efficacy results between different clinical trials of the same product candidate due to numerous factors, including changes in trial protocols, differences in size and type of the patient populations, differences in and adherence to the dose and dosing regimen and other trial protocolsprotocols, and the rate of dropout among clinical trial participants. Patients treated with our product candidates may also be undergoing surgical, radiationradiation, and chemotherapy treatments and may be using other approved products or investigational new drugs, which can cause side effects or adverse events that are unrelated to our product candidates. As a result, assessments of efficacy can vary widely for a particular patient, and from patient to patient and site to site within a clinical trial. This subjectivity can increase the uncertainty of, and adversely impact, our clinical trial outcomes.
Interim, initial, “top-linetop-line,” and preliminary data from clinical trials that we announce or publish from time to time may change as more patient data become available and are subject to audit and verification procedures that could result in material changes in the final data.
From time to time, we may publicly disclose interim, preliminary or top-line data from our preclinical studies and clinical trials. Interim data from clinical trials that we may complete are subject to the risk that one or more of the clinical outcomes may materially change as patient enrollment continues and more patient data become available or as patients from our clinical trials continue other treatments for their condition. Preliminary or top-line data also remain subject to audit and verification procedures that may result in the final data being materially different from the preliminary data we previously published. As a result, interim, preliminary and top-line data should be viewed with caution until the final data are available. We also make assumptions, estimations, and calculations, and draw conclusions, as part of our analyses of data, and we may not have received or had the opportunity to fully and carefully evaluate all data. As a result, the top-line or preliminary results that we report may differ from future results of the same studies or trials, or different conclusions or considerations may qualify such results, once additional data have been received and fully evaluated. For example, in December 2024, we announced preliminary safety, tolerability and PK data from PIKture-01, with a cutoff date of October 28, 2024, which supported our initiation of Part 1b of PIKture-01. These data are considered preliminary,preliminary and wedo not include efficacy data. We plan to provide updatedadditional data in the secondfirst halfquarter of 2025.2026. We cannot predict whether these updatedadditional data will be consistent with the preliminary data announced in December 2024, or whether the data from Part 1b of PIKture-01 will be positive or consistent with our preliminary data from Part 1a of PIKture-01.data. If the updatedadditional data from Part 1a or the future data from Part 1b of PIKture-01 are not positive or fail to support further advancement of OKI-219, we could experience volatility or a substantial decline in our stock price. Further, even if such data are positive,positive and we decide to pursue future clinical trials of OKI-219OKI-219, these trials may not be successful.
Further, others, including regulatory agencies, may not accept or agree with our assumptions, estimates, calculations, conclusionsconclusions, or analysesanalyses, or may interpret or weigh the importance of data differently, which could impact the value of the particular program or the approvability or commercialization of the particular product candidate,candidate and could have a material adverse effect on the success of our business. In addition, the information we choose to disclose publicly regarding a particular study or clinical trial is based on what is typically extensive information, and you or others may not agree with what we determine is material or otherwise appropriate information to include in our disclosure. If the interim, top-linetop-line, or preliminary data that we report differ from actual results, or if others, including regulatory authorities, disagree with the conclusions reached, our ability to obtain approval for and commercialize our product candidates may be harmed, which could harm our business, results of operations, prospects or financial condition. Further, disclosure of interim, top-linetop-line, or preliminary data by us or by our competitors could result in volatility in the price of our Class A Common Stock.
As product candidates progress through preclinical and clinical trials to marketing approval and commercialization, it is common that various aspects of the development program, such as manufacturing methods and formulation, are altered along the way in an effort to optimize yield and manufacturing batch size, minimize costs and achieve consistent quality and results. Such changes carry the risk that they will not achieve these intended objectives. Any of these changes could cause our product candidates to perform differently and affect the results of planned clinical trials or other future clinical trials conducted with the altered materials. This could delay completion of clinical trials, require the conduct of bridging clinical trials or the repetition of one or more clinical trials, increase clinical trial costs, delay approval of product candidatescandidates, and jeopardize our ability to commercialize our product candidates, if approved, and generate revenue.
We intend to develop OKI-219, and may develop any other product candidate we develop, in combination with one or more currently approved cancer therapies or therapies in development. Patients may not be able to tolerate our product candidates in combination with other therapies, or dosing of our product candidates in combination with other therapies may have unexpected consequences. Even if any of our product candidates were to receive marketing approval or be commercialized for use in combination with other existing therapies, we would continue to be subject to risks that the FDA or other comparable foreign regulatory authorities could revoke approval of the therapy used in combination with our product candidates, or safety, efficacy, manufacturingmanufacturing, or supply issues could arise with these existing therapies. In addition, it is possible that existing therapies with which our product candidates may be approved for use could themselves fall out of favor or be relegated to later lines of treatment. This could result in the need to identify other combination therapies for our product candidates or our products being removed from the market or being less successful commercially. If the FDA or other comparable foreign regulatory authorities do not approve or revoke their approval of these other therapies, or if safety, efficacy, commercial adoption, manufacturingmanufacturing, or supply issues arise with the therapies we choose to evaluate in combination with our product candidates, we may be unable to obtain approval of or successfully market any or all of the product candidates we develop.
Additionally, if the third-party providers of therapies or therapies in development used in combination with our product candidates are unable to produce sufficient quantities for clinical trials or for commercialization of our product candidates, or if the cost of combination therapies is prohibitive, our development and commercialization efforts would be impaired, which would have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operationsoperations, and growth prospects.
We face substantial competition which may result in others discovering, developingdeveloping, or commercializing products before or more successfully than we do.
The pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries are characterized by rapidly advancing technologies, intense competition and a strong emphasis on proprietary products. We face increasing competition from many different sources, including pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, academic institutions, governmental agenciesagencies, and public and private research institutions. Product candidates that we successfully develop and commercialize may compete with existing therapies, and new therapies that may become available in the future.
Many of our competitors, either alone or with their collaborators, have significantly greater financial resources, established presence in the marketmarket, and expertise in research and development, manufacturing, preclinical and clinical testing, obtaining regulatory approvals and reimbursementreimbursement, and marketing approved products than we do. These competitors also compete with us in recruiting and retaining qualified scientific and management personnel, establishing clinical trial sites and patient registration for clinical trials, as well as in acquiring technologies complementary to, or necessary for, our programs. Smaller or early-stage companies may also prove to be significant competitors, particularly through collaborative arrangements with large and established companies. Additional mergers and acquisitions may result in even more resources being concentrated in our competitors. As a result of these factors, our competitors may succeed in obtaining approval from the FDA, EMAEMA, or other comparable foreign regulatory authorities or in discovering, developingdeveloping, and commercializing product candidates in our field before we do.
There are multiple PI3Kα-pathway targeted agents either approved or under clinical development that will potentially compete with OKI-219 and our PI3Kα-targeted portfolio. Alpelisib (Piqray, a PI3Kα-selective inhibitor marketed by Novartis) and capivasertib (Truquap,Truqap, an AKT1 inhibitor marketed by AstraZeneca) are marketed medicines, both of which are approved for the treatment of PI3Kα-mutated breast cancer patients in combination with the selective estrogen receptor degrader (“SERD”) fulvestrant. Additionally, the PI3Kα-selective inhibitor inavolisib (ItovebiTM) washas recentlybeen approved in combination with the SERD fulvestrant and the CDK4/6 inhibitor palbociclib (IbranceTM) in endocrine resistant HR+/Her2-HER2- locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer.
We are also aware of several novel PI3K-targeted therapies that are in clinical development. ThisThese includesinclude both multiple non-mutation-selective PI3K inhibitors (gedatolisib) (Celcuity Inc.); MEN1611 (menariniMenarini) and TOS-358 (Totus Medicines)) and inhibitors designed to have greater selectivity for mutated PI3Kα, including RLY-2608 (Relay Therapeutics), STX-473STX-478 (LLY4064809) (Loxo Oncology), and SNV4818 (Synnovation Therapeutics). Multiple other companies have disclosed or published research efforts in PI3K inhibitors that are at an early stage, but could potentially advance to the clinical trial stage. Finally, there are numerous other investigational therapies, spanning many modalities that are being evaluated preclinically and in clinical trials for breast cancer.
Our commercial potential could be reduced or eliminated if our competitors develop and commercialize products that are safer or more effective, have fewer or less severe side effectseffects, or are more convenient or less expensive than products that we may develop. Our competitors also may obtain FDA or other regulatory approval for their products more rapidly than we can, which could make our development more complicated or result in our competitors establishing a strong market position before we are able to enter the market.
Technological advances or products developed by our competitors may render our technologies or product candidates obsolete, less competitivecompetitive, or not economical. If we are unable to compete effectively, our opportunity to generate revenue from the sale of our product candidates, if approved, could be adversely affected.
Even if OKI-219 or any other product candidate receives marketing approval, they may fail to achieve market acceptance among physicians, patients, third-party payorspayors, and others in the medical community.
If OKI-219 or any other product candidate that we develop receives marketing approval, it may nonetheless fail to gain sufficient market acceptance by physicians, patients, third-party payorspayors, and others in the medical community. The degree of market acceptance of OKI-219 or any other product candidate that we develop, if approved for commercial sale, will depend on a number of factors, including:
If OKI-219 or another product candidate is approved, we must build marketing, sales, distribution, managerialmanagerial, and other non-technical capabilities or make arrangements with third parties to perform these services for each of the territories in which we intend to sell and market our product candidates. We may not be successful in accomplishing these required tasks.
Establishing and building out an internal sales and marketing team with technical expertise and supporting distribution capabilities to commercialize our product candidates will be expensive and time-consuming and will require significant attention of our executive officers to manage. Any failure or delay in the development of our internal sales, marketingmarketing, and distribution capabilities could adversely impact the commercialization of any of our product candidates that we obtain approval to market, if we do not have arrangements in place with third parties to provide such services on our behalf. Alternatively, if we choose to collaborate, either globally or on a territory-by-territory basis, with third parties that have direct sales forces and established distribution systems, either to augment our own sales force and distribution systems or in lieu of our own sales force and distribution systems, we will be required to negotiate and enter into arrangements with such third parties relating to the proposed collaboration. If we are unable to enter into such arrangements when needed, on acceptable terms, or at all, we may not be able to successfully commercialize any of our product candidates that receive regulatory approval, or any such commercialization may experience delays or limitations. If we are unable to successfully commercialize our approved product candidates, either on our own or through collaborations with one or more third parties, our future product revenue will suffer, and we may incur significant additional losses.
Our business exposes us to significant product liability risks inherent in the development, testing, manufacturingmanufacturing, and marketing of therapeutic treatments. Product liability claims could delay or prevent completion of our development programs. If our product candidates are approved for marketing, such claims could still result in an FDA, EMAEMA, or other regulatory authority investigation of the safety and effectiveness of such products, our manufacturing processes and facilities or our marketing programs. These investigations could potentially lead to a recall of our products or more serious enforcement actions, limitations on the approved indications for which they may be used or suspensionsuspension, or withdrawal of approvals. Regardless of the merits or eventual outcome, liability claims may also result in injury to our reputation, withdrawal of clinical trial participants, costs to defend the related litigation, a diversion of management’s time and our resources, initiation of investigations by regulators, substantial monetary awards to patients or other claimants, the inability to commercialize our product candidatescandidates, and decreased demand for our product candidates, if approved for commercial sale. We currently have product liability insurance that we believe is appropriate for our stage of development and may need to obtain higher levels prior to marketing any of our product candidates, if approved. Any insurance we have or may obtain may not provide sufficient coverage against potential liabilities and, if judgments exceed our insurance coverage, could adversely affect our results of operations and business and cause the price of our Class A Common Stock to decline. Furthermore, clinical trial and product liability insurance is becoming increasingly expensive. As a result, we may be unable to maintain or obtain insurance coverage at a reasonable cost or in sufficient amounts to protect us against losses, including those caused by product liability claims.
The availability and extent of coverage and adequate reimbursement by third-party payors, including government health administration authorities, private health coverage insurers, managed care organizationsorganizations, and other third-party payorspayors, is essential for most patients to be able to afford expensive treatments. Sales of any of our product candidates that receive marketing approval will depend substantially, both in the United States and internationally, on the extent to which the costs of such product candidates will be covered and reimbursed by third-party payors. If reimbursement is not available, or is available only to limited levels, we may not be able to successfully commercialize our product candidates. Even if coverage is provided, the approved reimbursement amount may not be high enough to allow us to establish or maintain pricing sufficient to realize an adequate return on investment. Coverage and reimbursement may impact the demand for, or the price of, any product candidate for which we obtain marketing approval. If coverage and reimbursement are not available or reimbursement is available only to limited levels, we may not successfully commercialize any product candidate for which we obtain marketing approval.
Increasingly, third-party payors are requiring that drug companies provide them with predetermined discounts from list prices and are challenging the prices charged for medical products. Further, such payors are increasingly challenging the price, examining the medical necessitynecessity, and reviewing the cost effectiveness of medical product candidates. There may be especially significant delays in obtaining coverage and reimbursement for newly approved drugs. Third-party payors may limit coverage to specific product candidates on an approved list, known as a formulary, which might not include all FDA-approved drugs for a particular indication. We may need to conduct expensive pharmaco-economic studies to demonstrate the medical necessity and cost effectiveness of our products. Nonetheless, our product candidates may not be considered cost effective. We cannot be sure that coverage and reimbursement will be available for any product that we commercialize and, if reimbursement is available, what the level of reimbursement will be.
Outside the United States, the commercialization of therapeutics is generally subject to extensive governmental price controls and other market regulations, and we believe that the increasing emphasis on cost containment initiatives in Europe, CanadaCanada, and other countries has and will continue to put pressure on the pricing and usage of therapeutics such as our product candidates. In many countries, particularly the countries of the European Union, medical product prices are subject to varying price control mechanisms as part of national health systems. In these countries, pricing negotiations with governmental authorities can take considerable time after a product receives marketing approval. To obtain reimbursement or pricing approval in some countries, we may be required to conduct a clinical trial that compares the cost effectiveness of a product candidate to other available therapies. In general, product prices under such systems are substantially lower than in the United States. Other countries allow companies to fix their own prices for products but monitor and control company profits. Additional foreign price controls or other changes in pricing regulation could restrict the amount that we are able to charge for our product candidates. Accordingly, in markets outside the United States, the reimbursement for our products may be reduced compared with the United States and may be insufficient to generate commercially reasonable revenue and profits.
Increased tariffs on imports, including tariffs imposed by the United States and China, trade sanctions, other trade restrictions, or a global trade war could increase our costs and materially and adversely affect our business operations and financial condition.
Our business could be negatively affected by tariffs, trade restrictions, and other governmental protectionist measures, any of which can be imposed suddenly and unpredictably. For example, following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the United States and other countries imposed economic sanctions and severe export control restrictions against Russia, Belarus and the occupied regions of Ukraine. The situation continues to evolve, and the United States, the EU, the United Kingdom, and other countries may implement additional sanctions, export controls, or other measures against Russia and other countries, regions, officials, individuals, companies, or industries in the respective territories, as well as entities or individuals in other countries that are providing support to the sanctioned parties. Such sanctions and measures, as well as existing and potential further responses from Russia or other countries, could adversely affect the global economy and financial markets, as well as our business, financial condition, and results of operations, which may also magnify the impact of other risks described in this “Risk Factors” section.
There is also currently significant uncertainty about the future relationship between the United States and various other countries, including China, with respect to trade policies, treaties, trade regulations, and tariffs, and such uncertainty could continue under the current U.S. presidential administration. In February 2025, the administration stated its intent to modify U.S. trade policy and, in some cases, to renegotiate, or potentially terminate, certain existing bilateral or multilateral trade agreements. Beginning that month, the administration imposed “fentanyl-related” tariffs of 10-35% on imported products of China, Canada, and Mexico, with an exception for goods that qualify for duty-free treatment under the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement. Beginning in April 2025, the administration also imposed “reciprocal” tariffs of 10% or more on imports from almost all U.S. trading partners other than Canada and Mexico, including China and the European Union. Both of the foregoing tariffs were implemented under authorities asserted under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”) and rescinded on February 24, 2026, following a Supreme Court decision invalidating the use of IEEPA to authorize these tariffs. The availability, timing, and amount of any related refunds associated with payments of these tariffs remain uncertain and subject to further legal, regulatory, and administrative action. Beginning February 24, 2026, the U.S. government implemented a new, global “temporary import surcharge” of 10% on many of the same products affected by the prior reciprocal tariffs, under authorities provided for in Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974. These tariffs supplement existing non-IEEPA tariff measures, including those already imposed under authorities provided in Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 and Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974. The U.S. Commerce Department is also currently conducting a targeted investigation related to imports of pharmaceuticals and pharmaceutical ingredients under Section 232 which could result in additional tariffs on imports of finished drug products, medical countermeasures, critical inputs such as active pharmaceutical ingredients, and key starting materials, and derivative products of those items. The administration continues to implement new, reinstated, or adjusted tariffs, and we expect that the administration will continue with this practice. These tariffs (and the uncertainty around their implementation) could affect inputs to our products, as well as equipment, materials, or components that we import into the United States from our suppliers, which could significantly impact the cost of these items. Retaliatory tariffs and trade barriers could also negatively affect our ability to export and sell our potential products into those countries. If these tariffs are implemented, reinstated or adjusted, if additional tariffs are placed, or if any related countermeasures are taken by China, the European Union, or other countries, our business, financial condition, and results of operations may be materially harmed.
Trade restrictions, tariffs, and other general economic or political conditions may limit our ability to obtain key materials, components, or equipment for our products or significantly increase supply chain costs and other expenses associated with our business, which could further materially and adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition, and prospects. We may not be able to forecast such impacts accurately. Although we continue to work with our vendors to mitigate our exposure to current or potential tariffs and trade restrictions, we cannot assure you that we will be able to offset any increased costs or supply shortages. The ultimate impact of any tariffs or trade restrictions will depend on various factors, including the timing of implementation and the duration, amount, scope, and nature of the tariffs and trade restrictions. If we are not successful in offsetting the impact of any such tariffs or trade restrictions, our operating results may be adversely affected.
The tariffs are subject to a number of uncertainties as they are implemented, including timing, future adjustments, and other changes. The ultimate reaction of other countries and the impact of these tariffs or other actions on the United States, the global economy, and our business, financial condition, and results of operations, cannot be predicted at this time, nor can we predict the impact of any other developments with respect to global trade. Further, the imposition of additional tariffs by the United States could result in the adoption of additional tariffs by other countries, as well as export controls and further retaliatory actions by any affected country. Any resulting trade war could negatively affect the global market for pharmaceuticals and could have a significant adverse effect on our business. These developments may have a material adverse effect on global economic conditions and the stability of global financial markets, and they may significantly reduce global trade. Any of these factors could depress economic activity, restrict our access to potential customers or suppliers, and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
In particular, there is currently significant uncertainty about the future relationship between the United States and various other countries, most significantly China, with respect to trade policies, including sanctions, treaties, tariffs, taxes, regulatory requirements, and other limitations on cross-border operations. For example, the Trump administration has announced plans to significantly increase tariffs on foreign imports into the United States, particularly from Canada and Mexico, and has already increased tariffs on imports from China. The U.S. government has made and continues to make significant additional changes in U.S. trade policy and may continue to take future actions that could negatively impact U.S. trade. For example, legislation has been introduced in Congress to limit certain interactions with certain Chinese biotechnology companies. We cannot predict what actions may ultimately be taken with respect to trade relations between the United States and China or other countries, what interactions, including products or services, may be subject to such actions, or what actions may be taken by the other countries in retaliation. If our interactions with parties affected by any such actions are limited or no longer possible, our business, liquidity, financial condition, or results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.
Disruptions at the FDA, the SEC or other government agencies caused by funding shortages orshortages, global health concernsconcerns, government shutdown, or a lapse of U.S. government appropriations could hinder their ability to hire and retain key leadership and other personnel, or otherwise prevent new or modified products from being developed, approved or commercialized in a timely manner or at all, or otherwise prevent those agencies from performing normal business functions on which the operation of our business may rely, which could negatively impact our business.
The ability of the FDA to review and approve new products can be affected by a variety of factors, including government budget and funding levels, ability to hire and retain key personnel and accept the payment of user fees, statutory, regulatory and policy changes, and other events that may otherwise affect the FDA’s ability to perform routine functions. Changes in the leadership of the FDA and other federal agencies under the Trumpcurrent U.S. presidential administration, as well as policy changes including return-to-office directives, hiring freezes, and layoffs, may also lead to changes in the operations of the FDA, which may have a material impact on the industry. Average review times at the agency have fluctuated in recent years as a result. In addition, government funding of the SEC and other government agencies on which our operations may rely, including those that fund research and development activities, is subject to the political process, which is inherently fluid and unpredictable.
Disruptions at the FDA and other agencies may also slow the time necessary for new drugs to be reviewed or approved by necessary government agencies, which would adversely affect our business. If a prolonged government shutdownshutdown, a lapse of U.S. government appropriations, or other disruption occurs, or if global health or other concerns prevent the FDA or other regulatory authorities from conducting their regular inspections, reviews or other regulatory activities in a timely manner, it could significantly impact the ability of the FDA to timely review and process our regulatory submissions, which could have a material adverse effect on our business. Further, future government shutdowns or delays could impact our ability to access the public markets and obtain necessary capital in order to properly capitalize and continue our operations.
Separately, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the FDA announced its intention to postpone most inspections of foreign and domestic manufacturing facilities at various points. Even though the FDA has since resumed standard inspection operations of domestic facilities, ifIf a prolonged government shutdown occurs, as it has previously, either for global health related reasons or other reasons, preventing the FDA or other regulatory authorities from conducting business as usual or conducting inspections, reviews or other regulatory activities, it could significantly impact the ability of the FDA to timely review and process our regulatory submissions, which could have a material effect on our business.
We cannot predict the likelihood, nature or extent of government regulation that may arise from future legislation or administrative action, either in the United States or abroad, including as a result of the newcurrent U.S. presidential administration. Any such changes imposed on us could adversely affect the operation of our business.
There has been increasing legislative and enforcement interest in the United States with respect to specialty drug pricing practices. In August 2022, Congress passed the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IRA”), which includes prescription drug provisions that have significant implications for the pharmaceutical industry and Medicare beneficiaries, including among other changes allowing the federal government to negotiate a maximum fair price for certain high-priced single-source Medicare drugs, imposing penalties and excise taxes for manufacturers that fail to comply with the drug price negotiation requirements, requiring inflation rebates for all Medicare Part B and Part D drugs, with limited exceptions, if their drug prices increase faster than inflation, and redesigning Medicare Part D to reduce out-of-pocket prescription drug costs for beneficiaries. HHS has issued and will continue to issue and update guidance as these programs are implemented. Only high-expenditure, single-source drugs that have been approved for at least seven years (11 years for single-source biologics) qualify for negotiation, with the negotiated price taking effect two years after the selection year. For 2026, CMS selected 10 high-cost Medicare Part D drugs in 2023 and the negotiated maximum fair price for each drug has been announced. CMS has selected 15 additional Medicare Part D drugs for negotiated maximum fair pricing in 2027. For 2028, up to an additional 15 drugs, which may be covered under either Medicare Part B or Part D, will be selected, and for 2029 and subsequent years, up to 20 additional Part B or Part D drugs will be selected. However, various industry stakeholders, including pharmaceutical companies, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America, have initiated lawsuits against the federal government asserting that the price negotiation provisions of the IRA are unconstitutional. Further, the current administration has issued executive orders focused on decreasing prescription drug prices, including directing the Secretary of Health and Human Services to establish a mechanism through which American patients can buy drugs directly from manufacturers who sell at a most-favored-nation price and directing the U.S. Trade Representative and Secretary of Commerce to take action to ensure foreign countries are not engaged in practices that purposefully and unfairly undercut market prices and drive price hikes in the United States. Government agreements with pharmaceutical companies and other government measures that use most-favored-nation pricing targets for prescription drugs, including the use of international pricing reference to set drug prices in the United States, or increase generic and biosimilar drug entry sooner than expected, could have a material adverse effect on our industry, ability to set adequate pricing for new drugs to recover R&D costs, or ability to attract potential investors and potential buyers in the future. We cannot predict the full impact of the executive orders focused on reducing prescription drug prices or increasing domestic drug manufacturing capacity, or other measures that may be implemented by the current administration related to drug pricing, drug supply chains or manufacturing in the United States. The impact of these judicial challenges, as well as future legislative, executive and administrative actions and any future healthcare measures and agency rules implemented by the government on us and the pharmaceutical industry as a whole, is difficult or impossible to predict. The implementation of cost containment measures or other healthcare reforms may prevent us from being able to generate revenue, attain profitability or commercialize our product candidates if approved.
There have been, and likely will continue to be, legislative and regulatory proposals at the foreign, federalfederal, and state levels directed at broadening the availability of healthcare and containing or lowering the cost of healthcare. We cannot predict what initiatives may be adopted in the future. The continuing efforts of the government, insurance companies, managed care organizations and other payors of healthcare services to contain or reduce costs of healthcare or impose price controls may adversely affect:
We may be subject to federal and state healthcare fraud and abuse laws, false claims laws, transparency laws and health information privacy and security laws, which could expose us to, among other things, criminal sanctions, civil penalties, contractual damages, reputational harm, administrative burdensburdens, and diminished profits and future earnings.
Our current and future arrangements with healthcare professionals, clinical investigators, CROsCROs, and customers may expose us to broadly applicable fraud and abuse and other healthcare laws and regulations that may constrain the business or financial arrangements and relationships through which we plan to market, sell and distribute products for which we obtain marketing approval.
Our employees, independent contractors, consultants, commercial collaborators, principal investigators, CROs, supplierssuppliers, and vendors may engage in misconduct or other improper activities, including noncompliance with regulatory standards and requirements.
We are exposed to the risk that our employees, independent contractors, consultants, commercial collaborators, principal investigators, CROs, supplierssuppliers, and vendors may engage in misconduct or other improper activities. Misconduct by these parties could include failures to comply with FDA regulations, provide accurate information to the FDA, comply with federal and state health care fraud and abuse laws and regulations, accurately report financial information or data or disclose unauthorized activities to us. In particular, sales, marketingmarketing, and business arrangements in the health care industry are subject to extensive laws and regulations intended to prevent fraud, misconduct, kickbacks, self-dealingself-dealing, and other abusive practices. These laws and regulations may restrict or prohibit a wide range of pricing, discounting, marketing and promotion, sales commission, customer incentive programsprograms, and other business arrangements. Misconduct by these parties could also involve the improper use of information obtained in the course of clinical trials, which could result in regulatory sanctions and serious harm to our reputation. It is not always possible to identify and deter misconduct by these parties, and the precautions we take to detect and prevent this activity may not be effective in controlling unknown or unmanaged risks or losses or in protecting us from governmental investigations or other actions or lawsuits stemming from a failure to comply with these laws or regulations. If any such actions are instituted against us and we are not successful in defending ourselves or asserting our rights, those actions could have a significant impact on our business, including the imposition of significant civil, criminal and administrative penalties, damages, fines, disgorgement, imprisonment, integrity oversight and reporting obligations, contractual damages, reputational harm, diminished profits and future earningsearnings, and the curtailment or restructuring of our operations.
In the United Kingdom ("“UK"”), the Data Protection Act of 2018 implements and complements the GDPR and is effective along with a version of the GDPR referred to as the UK GDPR. These regimes authorize significant fines, up to the greater of £17.5 million or 4% of global turnover, and expose us to two parallel regimes and potentially divergent enforcement actions. Further, aspects of data protection in the UK remain uncertain. On June 28,In 2021, the European Commission issued an adequacy decision pursuant to which personal data generally may be transferred from the EU to the UK without restriction;restriction. however, thisThis adequacy decision iswas subjectrenewed in December 2025 to aextend four-yearthrough “sunset”December period,2031. afterThe whichUK’s itadequacy maydetermination bemay, renewed. This decision mayhowever, be revoked or modified at any time. Additionally, the UK’s Information Commissioner’s Office has issued standard contractual clauses to support personal data transfers out of the UK (“UK SCCs”). Regulatory guidance and other developments relating to cross-border personal data transfers, including the necessity of putting in place SCCs and UK SCCs, may increase the complexity of transferring personal data across borders and may require us to engage in additional contractual negotiations or to modify our policies and practices. Other jurisdictions also increasingly maintain laws and regulations addressing privacy, data protection, and cybersecurity. We may incur liabilities, expenses, and other operational losses under the GDPR and local laws of applicable EU member states, the UK, and other regions in connection with any measures we take to comply with them.
In the United States, in addition to HIPAA, HITECH, and state laws addressing health-related information, numerous federal and state laws and regulations govern the collection, use, disclosure, and other processing of information relating to individuals. In California, the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) requires covered companies to provide disclosures to consumers about such companies’ data collection, use and sharing practices, provide such consumers ways to opt-out of certain sales or transfers of personal information, and provide consumers with additional causes of action in data breach situations. The CCPA went into effect on January 1, 2020, and was modified significantly by the California Privacy Rights Act (“CPRA”), which was approved by California voters in the 2020 election and became effective January 1, 2023. The CCPA has prompted numerous proposals for federal and state privacy legislation. Numerous U.S. states have proposed, and in certain cases enacted, laws addressing privacy and cybersecurity matters. Many of these laws are comprehensive privacy statutes imposing obligations similar to the CCPA. Certain U.S. states have also enacted laws and regulations addressing specific subject matter, such as Washington State’s My Health, My Data Act which, among other things, provides for a private right of action. The U.S. Department of Justice also has issued rules restricting, and imposing requirements in connection with, certain bulk transfers of sensitive personal information.
WeWhile we are working to diversify our supply chain beyond single-source suppliers, we expect to continue to rely on third-party manufacturers for the commercial supply of any of our product candidates for which we obtain marketing approval. We may be unable to maintain or establish required agreements with third-party manufacturers or to do so on acceptable terms. Even if we are able to establish agreements with third-party manufacturers, reliance on third-party manufacturers entails additional risks, including:
The manufacture of drugs is complex, and our third-party manufacturers may encounter difficulties in production. If any of our third-party manufacturers encounterencounters such difficulties, our ability to provide adequate supply of our product candidates for clinical trials or our products for patients, if approved, could be delayed or prevented.
Management's Discussion & Analysis (MD&A)
Largest changes
Since inception, we have not generated any revenue from product sales and have incurred significant operating losses and negative cash flows from our operations. We expect to continue to incur significant expenses and operating losses for the foreseeable future as we advance the clinical development of our product candidates. We expect that our research and development and general and administrative costs will continue to increase significantly, including in connection with conducting clinical trials and manufacturing our product candidates to support commercialization and providing general and administrative support for our operations, including the costs associated with operating as a public company following the Closing. As a result, we will need additional capital to fund our operations, which we may seek to obtain from equity or debt financings, collaborations, licensing arrangements or other sources. The significant uncertainties surrounding the clinical development timelines and costs and the ability to raise a significant amount of capital raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern from one year after the Company’s consolidated financial statements have been issued.see in full comparison
A change in the outcome of any of these or other factors with respect to the development of OKI-219 or any of our future product candidates could significantly change the costs and timing associated with the development of that product candidate. Furthermore, our operating plans may change in the future, and we may need additional capital to meet the capital requirements associated with such operating plans.

While the legal acquirer in the Merger was Reneo, for financial accounting and reporting purposes under U.S. GAAP, Legacy OnKure was the accounting acquirer and the Merger was accounted for as a “reverse recapitalization.” As a result of the Merger, the net assets of Reneo were recorded at their acquisition-date fair value in the financial statements of the Combined Company and the reported operating results prior to the Merger are those of Legacy OnKure. Legacy OnKure’s historical financial statements became the historical consolidated financial statements of the Combined Company.
We are a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery and development of precision medicines that target biologically validated drivers of cancers and other diseases that are underserved by available therapies. Using a structure- and computational chemistry-drivenstructure-based drug design platform, we are committed to improving clinical outcomes for patients by building a robust pipeline of small molecule drugs designed to achieve optimal efficacy and tolerability by selectively targettargeting specific mutations thoughtshown to be key drivers of cancer.cancer and other diseases. By improvingselectively selectivity forsparing the oncogenicwild-type enzyme and preferentially targeting the mutated form of thesethe cancer-driverprotein, proteins,which is oncogenic and drives disease processes in both cancer and vascular overgrowth syndromes, we aim to discover and develop drugs with improved safety and efficacy by sparing toxicity that arises from non-selective inhibition of the non-mutated (or wild-type) version of the protein. We work under the beliefprinciple that inhibiting target proteins with specific mutations instead of wild-type variants should enable precise patient selection that will, in turn, improve the probability of clinical success. We designed our current product candidates utilizing disciplined medicinal chemistry, x-ray crystallography and computational chemistry to inhibit specified mutated versions of PI3Kα, a key mediatordisease increating cancer growth signaling.gene. Our lead product candidate, OKI-219, is a highly selective inhibitor of PI3KαH1047R that has a much smaller impact on PI3KαWT. We plan to initially focus on the development of OKI-219 in patients with advanced breast cancer of genetic subtypes that are (a) both HR+ and HER2-; and (b) HER2+. We believe we can potentially expand the application of OKI-219 by conducting appropriate clinical trials in earlier lines of treatment within breast cancer, other subtypes of breast cancer, and potentially in other solid tumors. OKI-219 is currently in a first-in-human Phase 1a/1b1 clinical trial.
Merger
On the Closing Date, Reneo consummated the previously announced Merger pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, by and among Reneo, Merger Sub I, Merger Sub II, and Legacy OnKure.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on the Closing Date, (i) Reneo effected a reverse stock split of Reneo’s issued common stock at a ratio of 1:10, (ii) Reneo changed its name to “OnKure Therapeutics, Inc.”, (iii) Reneo reclassified all of its common stock as “Class A Common Stock” or “Class B Common Stock”, and (iv) Radiate Merger Sub I merged with and into Legacy OnKure, with Legacy OnKure as the surviving company in the Merger and, after giving effect to such Merger, Legacy OnKure becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of OnKure Therapeutics, Inc..
Concurrently with the closing of the Merger, Reneo completed a private placement with certain investors (the "Concurrent Investors") to purchase 2,839,005 shares of Common Stock at a price per share of approximately $22.895 per share for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $65.0 million, including the conversion of outstanding convertible notes and accrued but unpaid interest thereon held by certain Legacy OnKure investors (the "Concurrent Financing"). In connection with the Concurrent Financing, Reneo entered into a registration rights agreement with certain investors, pursuant to which Reneo agreed to use commercially reasonably efforts to prepare and file a registration statement with the SEC within 45 calendar days after the Closing Date, registering the resale of the shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the Concurrent Financing, which was filed in October 2024. Immediately after the effective time of the Merger, following the consummation of the Concurrent Financing, shares received by Legacy OnKure stockholders represented approximately 53.6%, pre-Merger Reneo shares outstanding represented approximately 25.1%, and the shares purchased in the Concurrent Financing represented approximately 21.3% of our outstanding Common Stock.

Net cash used in operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2025 was $51.8 million. This consisted primarily of a net loss of $59.5 million, a net decrease in operating assets and liabilities of $4.8 million, and non-cash share-based compensation of $11.6 million.
Net cash used in operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2023 was $34.5 million. This consisted primarily of a net loss of $35.3 million, reduced by non-cash charges for share-based compensation, depreciation and amortization.
Net cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $46.0 thousand and related to purchase of property and equipment.
Net cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2023 was $0.2 million for the purchase of property and equipment.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $0.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2025 and primarily consisted of $240 thousand of proceeds from the sale of stock under the employee stock purchase plan. These amounts were partially offset by $77 thousand related to payment of issuance costs from the private placement completed by Reneo concurrently with the closing of the Merger (the “Concurrent Financing”) and reverse recapitalization transaction costs in connection with the Merger.
Net cash provided by financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2023 was $53.1 million. This consisted primarily of proceeds of $53.8 million from the sale of shares of Legacy OnKure's preferred stock, partially offset by the payment of $0.7 million of issuance costs.
We record research and development expenses in the period in which we receive or take ownership of the applicable goods or when the applicable services are performed. We are required to estimate our expenses resulting from our obligations under contracts with vendors, consultants, and contract research organizations, in connection with conducting research and development activities. The financial terms of these contracts are subject to negotiations, which vary from contract to contract and may result in payment flows that do not match the periods over which materials or services are provided under such contracts. We reflect research and development expenses in our consolidated financial statements by matching those expenses with the period in which services and efforts are expended. We account for these expenses according to the progress of the preclinical studies or clinical trials, as measured by the timing of various aspects of the study or related activities. We determine accrual estimates through a review of the underlying contracts along with the preparation of financial models considering discussions with research and other key personnel as to the progress of studies, trials, or other services being conducted. During a study or trial, we adjust our rate of expense recognition if actual results differ from our estimate. Nonrefundable advance payments for goods and services, including fees for process development or manufacturing and distribution of clinical supplies that will be used in future research and development activities, are deferred and recognized as an expense in the period that the related goods are consumed, or services are performed.

There is also currently significant uncertainty about the future relationship between the United States and various other countries, including China, with respect to trade policies, treaties, trade regulations, and tariffs. In February 2025, the current U.S. presidential administration stated its intent to modify U.S. trade policy and, in some cases, to renegotiate, or potentially terminate, certain existing bilateral or multilateral trade agreements. Beginning that month, the administration imposed “fentanyl-related” tariffs of 10-35% on imported products of China, Canada, and Mexico, with an exception for goods that qualify for duty-free treatment under the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement. Beginning in April 2025, the administration also imposed “reciprocal” tariffs of 10% or more on imports from almost all U.S. trading partners other than Canada and Mexico, including China and the European Union. Both of the foregoing tariffs were implemented under authorities asserted under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”) and rescinded on February 24, 2026, following a Supreme Court decision invalidating the use of IEEPA to authorize these tariffs. Though the U.S. government has begunsee in full comparisonrolling out a system to automate the process ofrefunding payments made in connection with the IEEPA tariffs, but the availability, timing, and amount of any related refunds associated with payments of these tariffs remain uncertain and subject to further legal, regulatory, and administrative action.BeginningFollowing the recission of these tariffs, between February 24, 2026, and July 24, 2026, the U.S. government implemented anew,global “temporary import surcharge” of 10% on many of the same products affected by the prior reciprocal tariffs, under authorities provided for in Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974.TheseUpon expiration of the Section 122 temporary import surcharge on July 24, 2026, the U.S. government implemented tariffs of up to 10% or 12.5% on imported commodities from 60 U.S. trading partners, with certain items (including certain chemicals used for pharmaceutical applications) excepted, under authorities provided under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974, following a determination by the U.S. Trade Representative that these trading partners insufficiently enforce forced labor laws. The foregoing tariffs supplement existing non-IEEPA tariff measures, including those already imposed under authorities provided in Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 and other tariffs imposed under Section301 of the Trade Act of 1974.301. For example, the U.S. government announced in April 2026 that it would impose a new Section 232 tariff of up to 100% on certain patented or branded pharmaceuticals and pharmaceutical products beginning in July 2026. The U.S. Commerce Department is currently conducting targeted investigations related to national security risks associated with imports of certain items under Section 232 which could result in additional tariffs on imports of those items.In addition, the U.S. Trade Representative is conducting investigations related to the trade policies and actions of certain U.S. trading partners, including China, the EU, Singapore, Switzerland, Norway, Indonesia, Malaysia, Cambodia, Thailand, South Korea, Vietnam, Taiwan, Bangladesh, Mexico, Japan, and India, which could result in additional tariffs on imports from those countries.The administration continues to implement new, reinstated, or adjusted tariffs, and we expect that the administration will continue with this practice. These tariffs (and the uncertainty around their implementation) could affect inputs to our products, as well as equipment, materials, or components that we import into the United States from our suppliers, which could significantly impact the cost of these items. Retaliatory tariffs and trade barriers could also negatively affect our ability to export and sell our potential products into those countries. If these tariffs are implemented, reinstated or adjusted, if additional tariffs are placed, or if any related countermeasures are taken by China, the European Union, or other countries, our business, financial condition, and results of operations may be materially harmed.
Despite the implementation of security measures in an effort to protect systems that store our information, given their size and complexity and the increasing amounts of information maintained on our internal information technology systems and external processing and storage (e.g., cloud) systems, and those of our third-party CROs, other contractors (including sites performing our current or future clinical trials), consultants and other third-party service providers, these systems are potentially vulnerable to breakdown or other damage or interruption. Our systems and the systems of third parties who support our operations are vulnerable to service interruptions, system malfunction, natural disasters, terrorism, war (such as conflicts in the Middle East and between Ukraine and Russia), and telecommunication and electrical failures, as well as security breaches and incidents arising from or caused by inadvertent or intentional actions by our employees, contractors, consultants, business partners, or other third parties, or from cyberattacks by malicious third parties (including the deployment of harmful malware, ransomware, denial-of-service attacks, social engineering, and other means to affect service reliability and threaten the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of information), which may compromise our system infrastructure or lead to unauthorized access to or disruption of our or third-party systems and the unauthorized access to, misuse, disclosure, loss, destruction, alteration or dissemination of, or damage to, our data, including trade secrets or other confidential information, intellectual property, proprietary business information, and personal information. For example, companies have experienced an increase in phishing and social engineering attacks in recent years. Further, the increasing availability and sophistication of artificial intelligence technologies may enable threat actors to more rapidly identify and exploit vulnerabilities in our systems and those of our service providers and other third parties, conduct more sophisticated phishing, social engineering, impersonation and deepfake attacks, accelerate the development of malicious code, automate cybersecurity attacks, and otherwise increase the scale, speed and effectiveness of cyber threats, resulting in heightened risks of security breaches and incidents. Our employees generally work in a hybrid model in our offices and from home, and we may need to adjust our working model from time to time. As a result, we may have increased cyber security and data security risks, due to increased use of home wi-fi networks and virtual private networks. While we implement controls to reduce the risk of a resulting cyber security or data security incident or breach, we may experience data security incidents, and there is no guarantee that the measures we have implemented will be adequate to safeguard all systems and data, especially with some employees working from home or in a hybrid model where it is more difficult for us to monitor.see in full comparison

see in full comparisonWe are exposed to the risk that our employees, independent contractors, consultants, commercial collaborators, principal investigators, CROs, suppliers, and vendors may engage in misconduct or other improper activities.Misconduct by these parties could include failures to comply with FDA regulations, provide accurate information to the FDA, comply with federal and state health care fraud and abuse laws and regulations, accurately report financial information or data, or disclose unauthorized activities to us. In particular, sales, marketing, and business arrangements in the health care industry are subject to extensive laws and regulations intended to prevent fraud, misconduct, kickbacks, self-dealing, and other abusive practices. These laws and regulations may restrict or prohibit a wide range of pricing, discounting, marketing and promotion, sales commission, customer incentive programs, and other business arrangements. Misconduct by these parties could also involve the improper use of information obtained in the course of clinical trials, which could result in regulatory sanctions and serious harm to our reputation. It is not always possible to identify and deter misconduct by these parties, and the precautions we take to detect and prevent this activity may not be effective in controlling unknown or unmanaged risks or losses or in protecting us from governmental investigations or other actions or lawsuits stemming from a failure to comply with these laws or regulations. If any such actions are instituted against us and we are not successful in defending ourselves or asserting our rights, those actions could have a significant impact on our business, including the imposition of significant civil, criminal and administrative penalties, damages, fines, disgorgement, imprisonment, integrity oversight and reporting obligations, contractual damages, reputational harm, diminished profits and future earnings, and the curtailment or restructuring of our operations.
We will be required to demonstrate with substantial evidence through well controlled clinical trials that our product candidates are safe and effective for use in a diverse population before we can seek marketing approvals for their commercial sale. Success in preclinical studies and early-stage clinical trials does not mean that future clinical trials will be successful. For example, we previously decided to cease developing our former lead product candidate, OK-219, and another product candidate, known as OKI-179, despite promising early data. In addition, much of our preclinical data, including with respect to cellular selectivity, potency and antitumor activity of OKI-345 and OKI-355, as well as preclinical data generated in comparisons of our product candidates to other compounds, was generated internally by us in a limited number of cell lines, assays and animal models, has not been independently verified or generated in head-to-head clinical trials, and may not be reproducible or predictive of results in humans. Preclinical tumor regressions and selectivity or therapeutic-index advantages observed in our models may not translate into clinical efficacy, tolerability or a differentiated safety profile, and any associated comparative or superiority conclusions may not be reproducible in clinical development or accepted by regulatory authorities.see in full comparison
There has been increasing legislative and enforcement interest in the United States with respect to specialty drug pricing practices. In August 2022, Congress passed the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IRA”), which includes prescription drug provisions that have significant implications for the pharmaceutical industry and Medicare beneficiaries, including among other changes allowing the federal government to negotiate a maximum fair price for certain high-priced single-source Medicare drugs, imposing penalties and excise taxes for manufacturers that fail to comply with the drug price negotiation requirements, requiring inflation rebates for all Medicare Part B and Part D drugs, with limited exceptions, if their drug prices increase faster than inflation, and redesigning Medicare Part D to reduce out-of-pocket prescription drug costs for beneficiaries. HHS has issued and will continue to issue and update guidance as these programs are implemented. Only high-expenditure, single-source drugs that have been approved for at least seven years (11 years for single-source biologics) qualify for negotiation, with the negotiated price taking effect two years after the selection year. For 2026, CMS selected 10 high-cost Medicare Part D drugs in 2023 and the negotiated maximum fair price for each drug has been announced. CMS has selected 15 additional Medicare Part D drugs for negotiated maximum fair pricing in 2027. For 2028, up to an additional 15 drugs, which may be covered under either Medicare Part B or Part D, will be selected, and for 2029 and subsequent years, up to 20 additional Part B or Part D drugs will be selected. In June 2026, the CMS issued a proposed rule that would codify policies established in guidance documents for the Medicare Drug Price Negotiation Program for initial price applicability year 2029 and beyond. CMS plans to release guidance to implement policies related to the effectuation of the maximum fair pricing for the Medicare Drug Price Negotiation Program for 2028. However, various industry stakeholders, including pharmaceutical companies, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America, have initiated lawsuits against the federal government asserting that the price negotiation provisions of the IRA are unconstitutional. Further, the current administration has issued executive orders focused on decreasing prescription drug prices, including directing the Secretary of Health and Human Services to establish a mechanism through which American patients can buy drugs directly from manufacturers who sell at a most-favored-nation price and directing the U.S. Trade Representative and Secretary of Commerce to take action to ensure foreign countries are not engaged in practices that purposefully and unfairly undercut market prices and drive price hikes in the United States. Government agreements with pharmaceutical companies and other government measures that use most-favored-nation pricing targets for prescription drugs, including the use of international pricing reference to set drug prices in the United States, or increase generic and biosimilar drug entry sooner than expected, could have a material adverse effect on our industry, ability to set adequate pricing for new drugs to recoversee in full comparisonR&Dresearch and development costs, or ability to attract potential investors and potential buyers in the future. We cannot predict the full impact of the executive orders focused on reducing prescription drug prices or increasing domestic drug manufacturing capacity, or other measures that may be implemented by the current administration related to drug pricing, drug supply chains or manufacturing in the United States. The impact of these judicial challenges, as well as future legislative, executive and administrative actions and any future healthcare measures and agency rules implemented by the government on us and the pharmaceutical industry as a whole, is difficult or impossible to predict. The implementation of cost containment measures or other healthcare reforms may prevent us from being able to generate revenue, attain profitability or commercialize our product candidates if approved.

We have incurred significant net losses in each reporting period since inception, have not generated any revenue from the sale of products, and have funded our operations primarily from the sale and issuance of equity securities and convertible debt. Our net losses were $15.2$30.5 million and $59.5 million for threesix months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and the year ended December 31, 2025, respectively. As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we had an accumulated deficit of $229.4$244.7 million. We have no products approved for sale. As a result, we expect that it will be many years, if ever, before we have a commercialized product and generate revenue from product sales. Even if we succeed in receiving marketing approval for and commercializing one or more of our product candidates, we expect that we will continue to incur substantial research and development and other expenses to discover, develop and market additional product candidates.
Developing pharmaceutical products, including conducting preclinical studies and clinical trials, is expensive. Our cash andcash, cash equivalents and marketable securities are expected to fund operations into 2029. As we have not generated any revenue from commercial sales to date and do not expect to generate any revenue for several years, if ever, we will need to raise substantial additional capital in order to fund our general corporate activities and to fund our research and development, including our currently planned clinical trials and plans for new clinical trials and product development.
We may seek to raise additional funds through various potential sources, such as equity and debt financings, or through strategic collaborations and license agreements. We can give no assurances that we will be able to secure such additional sources of funds to support our operations or, if such funds are available, that such additional financing will be sufficient to meet our needs. Moreover, to the extent that we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, our stockholders may experience additional significant dilution and new investors could gain rights, preferences and privileges senior to the holders of common stock. For example, pursuant to the 2026 Private Placement, we issued and sold 26,713,638 shares of our Common Stock and pre-funded warrants to purchase 9,320,9579,430,957 shares of our Common Stock, which resulted, and may continue to result, in a significant increase in the number of our outstanding shares of common stock and substantially diluted the ownership interests of our existing stockholders. Debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants, and equity financing, if available, may include restrictions on our use of proceeds. For example, pursuant to the 2026 PIPE Purchase Agreement, we are unable to use the proceeds from the 2026 Private Placement for research and development expensesof our former lead product candidate, OKI-219, for OKI-219.which Thiswe couldsubsequently hinderdisclosed ourthat abilitywe do not plan to advancepursue OKI-219further inclinical thedevelopment future.independently. We may experience similar or more onerous restrictions on use of proceeds in future financings. To the extent that we raise additional funds through collaboration and licensing arrangements, it may be necessary to relinquish some rights to our technologies or product candidates, or grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable.
We are currently focusing our resources and efforts on advancing OKI-345 or OKI-355 and our research programs. Because we have limited financial and managerial resources, we must focus on a limited number of product candidates and research programs and on specific indications. As a result, we may forgo or delay pursuit of opportunities for other indications or with other product candidates that may have greater commercial potential. For example, following our 2026 Private Placement, we haveno decidedlonger notplan to pursue further clinical development of OKI-219OKI-219, our former lead product candidate, independently at this time. 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 OKI-345, OKI-355 and our research programs may not yield any commercially viable products. If we do not accurately evaluate the commercial potential or target markets for OKI-345, OKI-355 and our research programs, or the product candidates we are currently developing in these programs, we may relinquish valuable rights to our product candidates or programs through collaboration, licensing or other strategic arrangements in cases in which it would have been more advantageous for us to retain sole development and commercialization rights to such product candidate or program.
We will be required to demonstrate with substantial evidence through well controlled clinical trials that our product candidates are safe and effective for use in a diverse population before we can seek marketing approvals for their commercial sale. Success in preclinical studies and early-stage clinical trials does not mean that future clinical trials will be successful. For example, we previously decided to cease developing our former lead product candidate, OK-219, and another product candidate, known as OKI-179, despite promising early data.

Preclinical tumor regressions and selectivity or therapeutic-index advantages observed in our models may not translate into clinical efficacy, tolerability or a differentiated safety profile, and any associated comparative or superiority conclusions may not be reproducible in clinical development or accepted by regulatory authorities.
Even if OKI-219, OKI-345, OKI-355 or any other product candidate receives marketing approval, they may fail to achieve market acceptance among physicians, patients, third-party payors, and others in the medical community.
If OKI-219, OKI-345, OKI-355 or any other product candidate that we develop receives marketing approval, it may nonetheless fail to gain sufficient market acceptance by physicians, patients, third-party payors, and others in the medical community. The degree of market acceptance of OKI-219, OKI-345, OKI-355 or any other product candidate that we develop, if approved for commercial sale, will depend on a number of factors, including:
There is also currently significant uncertainty about the future relationship between the United States and various other countries, including China, with respect to trade policies, treaties, trade regulations, and tariffs. In February 2025, the current U.S. presidential administration stated its intent to modify U.S. trade policy and, in some cases, to renegotiate, or potentially terminate, certain existing bilateral or multilateral trade agreements. Beginning that month, the administration imposed “fentanyl-related” tariffs of 10-35% on imported products of China, Canada, and Mexico, with an exception for goods that qualify for duty-free treatment under the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement. Beginning in April 2025, the administration also imposed “reciprocal” tariffs of 10% or more on imports from almost all U.S. trading partners other than Canada and Mexico, including China and the European Union. Both of the foregoing tariffs were implemented under authorities asserted under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”) and rescinded on February 24, 2026, following a Supreme Court decision invalidating the use of IEEPA to authorize these tariffs. Though the U.S. government has begun rolling out a system to automate the process of refunding payments made in connection with the IEEPA tariffs, but the availability, timing, and amount of any related refunds associated with payments of these tariffs remain uncertain and subject to further legal, regulatory, and administrative action. BeginningFollowing the recission of these tariffs, between February 24, 2026, and July 24, 2026, the U.S. government implemented a new, global “temporary import surcharge” of 10% on many of the same products affected by the prior reciprocal tariffs, under authorities provided for in Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974. TheseUpon expiration of the Section 122 temporary import surcharge on July 24, 2026, the U.S. government implemented tariffs of up to 10% or 12.5% on imported commodities from 60 U.S. trading partners, with certain items (including certain chemicals used for pharmaceutical applications) excepted, under authorities provided under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974, following a determination by the U.S. Trade Representative that these trading partners insufficiently enforce forced labor laws. The foregoing tariffs supplement existing non-IEEPA tariff measures, including those already imposed under authorities provided in Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 and other tariffs imposed under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974.301. For example, the U.S. government announced in April 2026 that it would impose a new Section 232 tariff of up to 100% on certain patented or branded pharmaceuticals and pharmaceutical products beginning in July 2026. The U.S. Commerce Department is currently conducting targeted investigations related to national security risks associated with imports of certain items under Section 232 which could result in additional tariffs on imports of those items. In addition, the U.S. Trade Representative is conducting investigations related to the trade policies and actions of certain U.S. trading partners, including China, the EU, Singapore, Switzerland, Norway, Indonesia, Malaysia, Cambodia, Thailand, South Korea, Vietnam, Taiwan, Bangladesh, Mexico, Japan, and India, which could result in additional tariffs on imports from those countries. The administration continues to implement new, reinstated, or adjusted tariffs, and we expect that the administration will continue with this practice. These tariffs (and the uncertainty around their implementation) could affect inputs to our products, as well as equipment, materials, or components that we import into the United States from our suppliers, which could significantly impact the cost of these items. Retaliatory tariffs and trade barriers could also negatively affect our ability to export and sell our potential products into those countries. If these tariffs are implemented, reinstated or adjusted, if additional tariffs are placed, or if any related countermeasures are taken by China, the European Union, or other countries, our business, financial condition, and results of operations may be materially harmed.
We rely upon a combination of patents, trademarks, trade secret protection and confidentiality agreements to protect the intellectual property related to our development programs and product candidates. Our success depends in part on our ability to obtain and maintain patent protection in the United States and other countries with respect to OKI-219, OKI-345, OKI-355 and any futureother product candidates. We seek to protect our proprietary position by filing patent applications in the United States and abroad related to our development programs, product candidates and novel discoveries that are important to our business. The patent prosecution process is expensive and time-consuming, and we may not be able to file, prosecute, enforce or license all necessary or desirable patent applications at a reasonable cost or in a timely manner.
The patents and patent applications that we own may fail to result in issued patents with claims that protect OKI-219, OKI-345, OKI-355 or any futureother product candidate in the United States or in other foreign countries. There is no assurance that all of the potentially relevant prior art relating to our patents and patent applications has been found, which can prevent a patent from issuing from a pending patent application, or be used to invalidate a patent. Even if patents do successfully issue and even if such patents cover OKI-219, OKI-345, OKI-355 or any futureother product candidate, third parties may challenge their validity, enforceability or scope, which may result in such patents being narrowed, invalidated or held unenforceable. Any successful opposition to these patents or any other patents owned by or licensed to us could deprive us of rights necessary for the successful commercialization of any product candidates that we may develop. Further, the scope and coverage of such patents may be so narrow that a third party could successfully design around our patents without materially impacting the therapeutic effectiveness of the resulting drug product. Further, if we encounter delays in regulatory approvals, the period of time during which we could market a product candidate under patent protection could be reduced.
If the patent applications we hold or may in-license in the future with respect to our development programs and product candidates fail to issue, if their breadth or strength of protection is threatened, or if they fail to provide meaningful exclusivity for OKI-219, OKI-345, OKI-355 or any futureother product candidate, it could dissuade other companies from collaborating with us to develop product candidates, and threaten our ability to commercialize OKI-219, OKI-345, OKI-355 or futureother product candidates. Any such outcome could have a materially adverse effect on our business.
Depending upon the timing, duration and specifics of FDA marketing approval of OKI-219, OKI-345, OKI-355 and futureany other product candidates, one or more of our U.S. patents may be eligible for limited patent term restoration under the Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act of 1984, referred to as the Hatch-Waxman Amendments. The Hatch-Waxman Amendments permit a patent restoration term of up to five years beyond the normal expiration of the patent as compensation for patent term lost during drug development and the FDA regulatory review process, which is limited to the approved indication (or any additional indications approved during the period of extension). This extension is based on the first approved use of a product and is limited to only one patent that covers the approved product, the approved use of the product or a method of manufacturing the product. Such patent term extension cannot extend the remaining term of a patent beyond a total of 14 years from the date of product approval. However, the applicable authorities, including the FDA and the USPTO in the United States and any equivalent regulatory authority in other countries, may not agree with our assessment of whether such extensions are available, and may refuse to grant extensions to our patents, or may grant more limited extensions than we request. We may not be granted an extension because of, for example, failing to apply within applicable deadlines, failing to apply prior to expiration of relevant patents or otherwise failing to satisfy applicable requirements. Moreover, the applicable time period or the scope of patent protection afforded could be less than we request. If we are unable to extend the expiration date of our existing patents or obtain new patents with longer expiry dates, our competitors may be able to take advantage of our investment in development and clinical trials by referencing our clinical and preclinical data to obtain approval of competing products following our patent expiration and launch their product earlier than might otherwise be the case.
Periodic maintenance fees, renewal fees, annuity fees and various other government fees on patents and patent applications will be due to the USPTO and other foreign patent agencies in several stages over the lifetime of our patents and patent applications. The USPTO and various foreign national or international patent agencies require compliance with a number of procedural, documentary, fee payment and other similar provisions during the patent application process. While an inadvertent lapse can in many cases be cured by payment of a late fee or by other means in accordance with the applicable rules, there are situations in which noncompliance can result in abandonment or lapse of the patent or patent application, resulting in partial or complete loss of patent rights in the relevant jurisdiction. Noncompliance events that could result in abandonment or lapse of patent rights include, but are not limited to, failure to timely file national and regional stage patent applications based on our international patent application, failure to respond to official actions within prescribed time limits, non-payment of fees and failure to properly legalize and submit formal documents. If we or any of our licensors fails to maintain the patents and patent applications covering OKI-219, OKI-345, OKI-355 or any futureother product candidate, our competitors may be able to enter the market, which would have an adverse effect on our business.
We may become involved in third-party claims of intellectual property infringement, which may delay or prevent the development and commercialization of OKI-219, OKI-345, OKI-355 and any futureother product candidate.
Our commercial success depends in part on us avoiding infringement and other violations of the patents and proprietary rights of third parties. There is a substantial amount of litigation, both within and outside the United States, involving patent and other intellectual property rights in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries, including patent infringement lawsuits, interferences, derivation and administrative law proceedings, inter partes review and post-grant review before the USPTO, as well as oppositions and similar processes in foreign jurisdictions. We may be exposed to, or threatened with, future litigation by third parties having patent or other intellectual property rights and who allege that our product candidates, uses and/or other proprietary technologies infringe their intellectual property rights. Numerous U.S.- and foreign-issued patents and pending patent applications owned by third parties exist in the fields in which we and our collaborators are developing product candidates. As the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries expand and more patents are issued, and as we gain greater visibility and market exposure as a public company, the risk increases that our product candidates or other business activities may be subject to claims of infringement of the patent and other proprietary rights of third parties. Third parties may assert that we are infringing their patents or employing their proprietary technology without authorization.
Third parties may assert that we are infringing their patents or employing their proprietary technology without authorization.
Patents are of national or regional effect, and filing, prosecuting and defending patents covering OKI-219, OKI-345, OKI-355 and any futureother product candidate throughout the world would be prohibitively expensive. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect intellectual property rights to the same extent as federal and state laws in the United States, even in jurisdictions in which we do pursue patent protection. Consequently, we may not be able to prevent third parties from practicing our or any future licensors’ inventions in all countries outside the United States, even in jurisdictions where we or any future licensors do pursue patent protection, or from selling or importing products made using our or any future licensors’ inventions in and into the United States or other jurisdictions. Competitors may use our or any future licensors’ technologies in jurisdictions where we have not obtained patent protection to develop our own products and, further, may export otherwise infringing products to territories where we may have or obtain patent protection, but where patent enforcement is not as strong as in the United States. These unauthorized competitors’ products may compete with our products in such jurisdictions and take away our market share where we do not have any issued or licensed patents, and any future patent claims or other intellectual property rights may not be effective or sufficient to prevent them from so competing.
Because we expect to rely on third parties to manufacture OKI-219, OKI-345, OKI-355 and any futureother product candidates, and we expect to collaborate with third parties on the continuing development of OKI-219, OKI-345, OKI-355 and any futureother product candidates, we must, at times, share trade secrets with them. We also expect to conduct R&Dresearch and development programs that may require us to share trade secrets under the terms of our partnerships or agreements with CROs. We seek to protect our proprietary technology in part by entering into agreements containing confidentiality and use restrictions and obligations, including material transfer agreements, consulting agreements, manufacturing and supply agreements, confidentiality agreements or other similar agreements with our advisors, employees, contractors, contract manufacturing organizations (or “CMOs”), CROs, other service providers and consultants prior to disclosing proprietary information. These agreements typically limit the rights of the third parties to use or disclose our confidential information, including our trade secrets. Despite the contractual provisions employed when working with third parties, the need to share trade secrets and other confidential information increases the risk that such trade secrets become known by our competitors, are intentionally or inadvertently incorporated into the technology of others, or are disclosed or used in violation of these agreements. Given that our proprietary position is based, in part, on our know-how and trade secrets, a competitor’s discovery of our trade secrets or other unauthorized use or disclosure would impair our competitive position and may have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
There has been increasing legislative and enforcement interest in the United States with respect to specialty drug pricing practices. In August 2022, Congress passed the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IRA”), which includes prescription drug provisions that have significant implications for the pharmaceutical industry and Medicare beneficiaries, including among other changes allowing the federal government to negotiate a maximum fair price for certain high-priced single-source Medicare drugs, imposing penalties and excise taxes for manufacturers that fail to comply with the drug price negotiation requirements, requiring inflation rebates for all Medicare Part B and Part D drugs, with limited exceptions, if their drug prices increase faster than inflation, and redesigning Medicare Part D to reduce out-of-pocket prescription drug costs for beneficiaries. HHS has issued and will continue to issue and update guidance as these programs are implemented. Only high-expenditure, single-source drugs that have been approved for at least seven years (11 years for single-source biologics) qualify for negotiation, with the negotiated price taking effect two years after the selection year. For 2026, CMS selected 10 high-cost Medicare Part D drugs in 2023 and the negotiated maximum fair price for each drug has been announced. CMS has selected 15 additional Medicare Part D drugs for negotiated maximum fair pricing in 2027. For 2028, up to an additional 15 drugs, which may be covered under either Medicare Part B or Part D, will be selected, and for 2029 and subsequent years, up to 20 additional Part B or Part D drugs will be selected. In June 2026, the CMS issued a proposed rule that would codify policies established in guidance documents for the Medicare Drug Price Negotiation Program for initial price applicability year 2029 and beyond. CMS plans to release guidance to implement policies related to the effectuation of the maximum fair pricing for the Medicare Drug Price Negotiation Program for 2028. However, various industry stakeholders, including pharmaceutical companies, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America, have initiated lawsuits against the federal government asserting that the price negotiation provisions of the IRA are unconstitutional. Further, the current administration has issued executive orders focused on decreasing prescription drug prices, including directing the Secretary of Health and Human Services to establish a mechanism through which American patients can buy drugs directly from manufacturers who sell at a most-favored-nation price and directing the U.S. Trade Representative and Secretary of Commerce to take action to ensure foreign countries are not engaged in practices that purposefully and unfairly undercut market prices and drive price hikes in the United States. Government agreements with pharmaceutical companies and other government measures that use most-favored-nation pricing targets for prescription drugs, including the use of international pricing reference to set drug prices in the United States, or increase generic and biosimilar drug entry sooner than expected, could have a material adverse effect on our industry, ability to set adequate pricing for new drugs to recover R&Dresearch and development costs, or ability to attract potential investors and potential buyers in the future. We cannot predict the full impact of the executive orders focused on reducing prescription drug prices or increasing domestic drug manufacturing capacity, or other measures that may be implemented by the current administration related to drug pricing, drug supply chains or manufacturing in the United States. The impact of these judicial challenges, as well as future legislative, executive and administrative actions and any future healthcare measures and agency rules implemented by the government on us and the pharmaceutical industry as a whole, is difficult or impossible to predict. The implementation of cost containment measures or other healthcare reforms may prevent us from being able to generate revenue, attain profitability or commercialize our product candidates if approved.
We are exposed to the risk that our employees, independent contractors, consultants, commercial collaborators, principal investigators, CROs, suppliers, and vendors may engage in misconduct or other improper activities.
We are exposed to the risk that our employees, independent contractors, consultants, commercial collaborators, principal investigators, CROs, suppliers, and vendors may engage in misconduct or other improper activities. Misconduct by these parties could include failures to comply with FDA regulations, provide accurate information to the FDA, comply with federal and state health care fraud and abuse laws and regulations, accurately report financial information or data, or disclose unauthorized activities to us. In particular, sales, marketing, and business arrangements in the health care industry are subject to extensive laws and regulations intended to prevent fraud, misconduct, kickbacks, self-dealing, and other abusive practices. These laws and regulations may restrict or prohibit a wide range of pricing, discounting, marketing and promotion, sales commission, customer incentive programs, and other business arrangements. Misconduct by these parties could also involve the improper use of information obtained in the course of clinical trials, which could result in regulatory sanctions and serious harm to our reputation. It is not always possible to identify and deter misconduct by these parties, and the precautions we take to detect and prevent this activity may not be effective in controlling unknown or unmanaged risks or losses or in protecting us from governmental investigations or other actions or lawsuits stemming from a failure to comply with these laws or regulations. If any such actions are instituted against us and we are not successful in defending ourselves or asserting our rights, those actions could have a significant impact on our business, including the imposition of significant civil, criminal and administrative penalties, damages, fines, disgorgement, imprisonment, integrity oversight and reporting obligations, contractual damages, reputational harm, diminished profits and future earnings, and the curtailment or restructuring of our operations.
Despite the implementation of security measures in an effort to protect systems that store our information, given their size and complexity and the increasing amounts of information maintained on our internal information technology systems and external processing and storage (e.g., cloud) systems, and those of our third-party CROs, other contractors (including sites performing our current or future clinical trials), consultants and other third-party service providers, these systems are potentially vulnerable to breakdown or other damage or interruption. Our systems and the systems of third parties who support our operations are vulnerable to service interruptions, system malfunction, natural disasters, terrorism, war (such as conflicts in the Middle East and between Ukraine and Russia), and telecommunication and electrical failures, as well as security breaches and incidents arising from or caused by inadvertent or intentional actions by our employees, contractors, consultants, business partners, or other third parties, or from cyberattacks by malicious third parties (including the deployment of harmful malware, ransomware, denial-of-service attacks, social engineering, and other means to affect service reliability and threaten the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of information), which may compromise our system infrastructure or lead to unauthorized access to or disruption of our or third-party systems and the unauthorized access to, misuse, disclosure, loss, destruction, alteration or dissemination of, or damage to, our data, including trade secrets or other confidential information, intellectual property, proprietary business information, and personal information. For example, companies have experienced an increase in phishing and social engineering attacks in recent years. Further, the increasing availability and sophistication of artificial intelligence technologies may enable threat actors to more rapidly identify and exploit vulnerabilities in our systems and those of our service providers and other third parties, conduct more sophisticated phishing, social engineering, impersonation and deepfake attacks, accelerate the development of malicious code, automate cybersecurity attacks, and otherwise increase the scale, speed and effectiveness of cyber threats, resulting in heightened risks of security breaches and incidents. Our employees generally work in a hybrid model in our offices and from home, and we may need to adjust our working model from time to time. As a result, we may have increased cyber security and data security risks, due to increased use of home wi-fi networks and virtual private networks. While we implement controls to reduce the risk of a resulting cyber security or data security incident or breach, we may experience data security incidents, and there is no guarantee that the measures we have implemented will be adequate to safeguard all systems and data, especially with some employees working from home or in a hybrid model where it is more difficult for us to monitor.
Pursuant to the 2026 PIPE Purchase Agreement, we issued the 2026 PIPE Pre-Funded Warrants. As of AprilAugust 1,3, 2026, approximately 9,430,957 shares of our Class A Common Stock were reserved for issuance upon exercise of the 2026 PIPE Pre-Funded Warrants. The exercise of these securities will result in a significant increase in the number of outstanding shares and substantially dilute the ownership interests of our existing stockholders.
As of AprilAugust 1, 2026, our executive officers, directors and principal stockholders, in the aggregate, beneficially own approximately 60.4%60.3% of the outstanding shares of our Class A Common Stock. As a result, if these stockholders were to choose to act together, they would be able to control or significantly influence all matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, as well as our management and affairs. For example, these stockholders, if they choose to act together, would control or significantly influence the election of directors and approval of any merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our assets. This concentration of voting power could delay or prevent an acquisition of us on terms that other stockholders may desire.

We are a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery and development of precision medicines that target biologically validated drivers of vascular anomalies and cancers that are underserved by available therapies. Using a structure- and computational chemistry-driven drug design platform, we are committed to improving clinical outcomes for patients by building a pipeline of small molecule drugs designed to selectively target specific mutations thought to be key drivers of cancer and vascular anomalies. By improving selectivity for the oncogenic and mutated form of these cancer-driverdisease-driving proteins, we aim to discover and develop drugs with improved safety and efficacy by sparing toxicity that arises from non-selective inhibition of the non-mutated (or wild-type) version of the protein. We work under the belief that inhibiting target proteins with specific mutations instead of wild-type variants should enable precise patient selection that will, in turn, improve the probability of clinical success. We designed our current product candidates utilizing disciplined medicinal chemistry, x-ray crystallography, and computational chemistry to inhibit specified mutated versions of PI3Kα, a key mediator in cancer growth signaling.
Our portfolio includes two next-generation PI3Kα pan-mutant programs, OKI-345 in breast cancer and OKI-355 in vascular anomalies. These candidates are designed to selectively inhibit mutant PI3Kα while sparing wildtype PI3Kα, potentially enabling a wider therapeutic index and avoidance of class-limiting toxicities. High and sustained target coverage across all hotspot PI3Kα mutations can support the potential for deep and durable responses in breast cancer, both as monotherapy and in combination regimens.regimens where applicable. The PI3Kα pan-mutant candidates are designed to have minimal drug-drug interaction potential, supporting broad combinability with current standards of care.care where applicable. We plan to submit an Investigational New Drug (“IND”) application to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for each of OKI-345 and OKI-355 in the first half of 2027.
PIKture-01 Trial and OKI-219 Update
The PIKture-01 trial is a global, multi-center, dose-escalation, first-in-human Phase 1a/1b study evaluating the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and efficacy of OKI-219 as monotherapy and in combination with other anti-cancer drugs for the treatment of HR+ and HER2+ advanced breast cancer. As of March 26, 2026, the PIKture-01 trial has completed enrollment in single-agent OKI-219 dose escalation (n=38) and OKI-219 + fulvestrant dose escalation (n=33). Phase 2 dose evaluation in the OKI-219 + tucatinib and trastuzumab triplet and the OKI-219 + ribociclib and fulvestrant triplets will be completed in 2026. Given the progress of our PI3Kα pan-mutant inhibitors, we do not plan to pursue further clinical development of OKI-219 independently.

The increase of approximately $0.6 million was primarily due to $0.3 million in increased personnel-related costs, including $0.1 million of increased share-based compensation charges. In addition, consulting fees increased by $0.2 million.
Other Income
Other income was $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $0.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The change was primarily due to an increase in interest income due to an increase in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities available to invest during the quarter ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2025.
Comparison of the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025
The following table summarizes our results of operations for the periods indicated:
Research and development expenses were $24.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $25.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease of approximately $1.3 million was primarily due to $1.5 million of decreased outsourced preclinical research and development expenses and $0.4 million of personnel-related costs, partially offset by an increase of $0.6 million clinical trial and outsourced manufacturing costs.
General and administrative expenses were $3.9$8.2 million for the threesix months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 compared to $4.0$7.7 million for the threesix months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2025. The decreaseincrease of approximately $0.1$0.5 million was primarily due to a $0.3$0.5 million increase in personnel-related costs, including $0.2 million of increased share-based compensation charges, and $0.1 million increase in consulting costs. These increases were partially offset by a $0.1 million decrease in legal and filing fee costs. This decrease was partially offset by a $0.2 million increase personnel-related costs, including share-based compensation.
Other income was $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 which was consistent with the six months ended June 30, 2025.
Other income was $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The change was primarily due to a decrease in interest income due to a decrease in cash and cash equivalents available to invest during the quarter ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2025.
In March 2026, we completed the 2026 Private Placement for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $150.0 million, before deducting placement agent fees and offering expenses. Pursuant to the 2026 PIPE Purchase Agreement, we agreed to use the proceeds from the 2026 Private Placement for research and development expenses for our vascular anomalies and breast cancer programs, excluding our former lead product candidate, OKI-219, and for working capital and other general corporate purposes.
In November 2025, we filed the Registration Statement, which registered an aggregate of up to $200 million of securities that may be issued and sold from time to time, including initially up to an aggregate offering price of $16.0 million of Common Stock (which is included in the $200 million aggregate offering price set forth in the base prospectus) that may be issued and sold pursuant to the ATM Sales Agreement.
