Our gene therapy product candidates are based on a novel technology that makes it difficult to predict the time and cost of development and of subsequently obtaining regulatory approval. Only a fewsmall number of gene therapy products have been approved in the United States, the European Union or elsewhere.
We have concentrated our research and development efforts on our proprietary AAV gene delivery platform (our NAV Technology Platform), and we have granted licenses to certain intellectual property related to our NAV Technology Platform to our NAV Technology Licensees.Licensees and collaborators. Our future success depends on our and our NAV Technology Licensees’ and collaborators’ successful development and commercialization of viable gene therapy product candidates. There can be no assurance that we or our NAV Technology Licensees and collaborators will not experience problems or delays in developing current or future product candidates or that such problems or delays will not cause unanticipated costs, or that any such development problems can be solved. We also may experience unanticipated problems or delays in expanding our manufacturing capacity, and this may prevent us from completing our clinical trials, meeting the obligations of our collaborations or commercializing our products on a timely or profitable basis, if at all. For example, we, a partner or another group may uncover one or more previously unknown risks associated with AAV or our NAV Technology Platform, and this may prolong the period of observation required for obtaining regulatory approval, necessitate additional clinical testing or invalidate our NAV Technology.
In addition, the clinical trial requirements of the FDA, the EMA and other regulatory authorities and the criteria these regulators use to determine the quality, safety and efficacy of a product candidate vary substantially according to the type, complexity, novelty and intended use and market of such product candidates. The regulatory approval process for novel product candidates such as ours can be significantly more expensive and take longer than for other,product candidates from categories that are better known or morethat extensivelyhave been studied productmore candidates.extensively. Only a fewsmall number of gene therapy products have been approved in the United States, the European Union or elsewhere.elsewhere, including less than ten AAV-based gene therapies approved in the United States as of the end of 2025. It is difficult to determine how long it will take or how much it will cost to obtain regulatory approvals for our product candidates in the United States, the European Union or elsewhere, or how long it will take to commercialize our product candidates, if approved. Furthermore, approvals by one regulatory authority may not be indicative of what other regulatory authorities may require for approval, and approvals of ex vivo gene therapy products (such as autologous CAR T-cell therapies) may not be indicative of what may be required for approval of in vivo gene therapy products.products (such as directly administered AAV-based gene therapies).
Our business depends substantially on the success of our lead product candidates. If we are unable to obtain regulatory approval for, or successfully commercialize, our lead product candidates, our business will be materially harmed.
Our product candidates will require substantial clinical development and testing, manufacturing bridging studies and process validation and regulatory approval prior to commercialization. Successful continued development and ultimate regulatory approval of our lead product candidates is critical for our future business success and our ability to generate product revenue. We have invested, and will continue to invest, a significant portion of our financial resources in the development of our lead product candidates. We will need to raise sufficient funds for, and successfully complete, our clinical trials of our lead product candidates in appropriate subjects. The future regulatory and commercial success of these product candidates is subject to a number of risks, including the following:
we may not successfully establish commercial manufacturing capabilities for each of our products;
Of the large number of biologics and drugs in development in the biopharmaceutical industry, only a small percentage result in the submission of a BLA to the FDA or marketing authorization application (MAA) to the EMA and even fewer are expected to be approved for commercialization. Furthermore, even if we do receive regulatory approval to market our lead product candidates, any such approval may be subject to limitations on the indicated use or uses for which we may market the product. Accordingly, even if we are able to obtain the requisite financing to continue to fund our development programs, we cannot assureprovide youany assurance that our lead product candidates will be successfully developed or commercialized. If we or any of our future development partners are unable to develop, obtain regulatory approval for, or, if approved, successfully commercialize, our lead product candidates, we may not be able to generate sufficient revenue to continue our business.
WeClinical programs in rare diseases have limited clinical results for some of our product candidatesdatasets and success in preclinical studies or early clinical trials may not be indicative of results obtained in later trials.
Gene therapy development has inherent risks. Some of ourOur lead product candidates in the rare disease space have limited clinical and preclinical results and we may experience unexpected results in the future. We or any of our future development partners will be required to demonstrate through adequate and well-controlled clinical trials that our product candidates containing our proprietary vectors are safe and effective, with a favorable benefit-risk profile, for use in their target indications before we can seek regulatory approvals for their commercial sale. Drug development is a long, expensive and uncertain process, and delay or failure can occur at any stage of development, including after commencement of any of our clinical trials.
The results of preclinical studies and early clinical trials are not always predictive of future results. Preclinical studies have experimental and animal model limitations, may not detect or predict human adverse effects, and are not powered to detect rare events. Any product candidate we or any of our future development partners advance into clinical trials, including our lead product candidates, may not have favorable results in later clinical trials, if any, or receive regulatory approval. There is a high failure rate for drugs and biologic products proceeding through clinical trials. Data obtained from preclinical and clinical activities are subject to varying interpretations that may delay, limit or prevent regulatory approval. In addition, we may experience regulatory delays or rejections as a result of many factors, including due to changes in regulatory policy during the period of our product candidate development. Any such delays could materially harm our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
During the FDAclinical reviewdevelopment process, we will need to identify success criteria and endpoints for our clinical trials such that the FDA will be able to subsequently evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety profile of our product candidates. As we are developing novel treatments for diseases in which there is little clinical experience with new endpoints and methodologies, there is heightened risk that the FDA, the EMA or other regulatory bodies may not consider the clinical trial endpoints that we select to providedirectly clinicallyreflect meaningful results (reflectinghow a tangibletreatment benefitimpacts toa patients).disease. In addition, we may not successfully achieve the statistical criteria to reflect what is clinically meaningful, or the resulting clinical data and results may be difficult to analyze. EvenFor if the FDA does find our success criteria to be sufficiently validated and clinically meaningful, we may not achieve the pre-specified endpoints to a degree of statistical significance. Further,example, even if we do achieve the pre-specified criteria, we may produce results that are unpredictable or inconsistent with the results of the non-primary endpoints or other relevant data. Further, we may be required to produce more data, including enhanced functional data, increased number of patients and/or data from untreated control arm patients to achieve FDA support. The FDA also weighs the benefits of a product against its risks, and the FDA may view the efficacy results in the context of safety as not being supportive of regulatory approval. The EMA and other regulatory authorities in the European Union and other countries may make similar comments with respect to these endpoints and data, which may jeopardize or preclude our ability to obtain regulatory approvals in the European Union and other jurisdictions.
While we believe our product candidates should be applicable for the treatment of patients with certain conditions, the results from our preclinical and planned clinical trials may not support as broad of a marketing approval as we seek. EvenThis could result in significant cost increases and substantial delays in obtaining, or never obtaining, marketing approval for our product candidates to treat patients. In addition, even if we obtain regulatory approval for our product candidates, we may be required by the FDA, the EMA or other regulatory bodies to conduct additional clinical trials to support approval of our product candidates for patients diagnosed with different mutations of the respective diseases to which our product candidates relate. ThisIn couldaddition, resultwe inmay significantbe costapproved increasesonly andfor substantialsevere delaysforms inof obtaining,a disease or never obtaining, marketing approval for our product candidates to treat patients.condition. The inability to market our product candidates to treat patients for the intended indications would materially harm our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

delays in reaching a consensus with or changing requirements by regulatory authorities on trial design;
imposition of a clinical hold by regulatory authorities in trials in addition to RGX-121 and RGX-111;
Any inability to successfully complete research studies and preclinical and clinical development could result in additional costs to us or impair our ability to generate revenues from product sales, regulatory and commercialization milestones and royalties. In addition, if we make manufacturing or formulation changes to our product candidates, we may need to conduct additional studies to bridge our modified product candidates to earlier versions. Clinical trial delays also could shorten any periods during which we may have the exclusive right to commercialize our product candidates, if approved, or allow our competitors to bring products to market before we do, which could impair our ability to successfully commercialize our product candidates, if approved, and may harm our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. Furthermore, unpredictability in the regulatory environment and the regulatory requirements to obtain approval of our product candidates may adversely impact our ability to raise the capital needed to finance our operations.
The FDA’s clinical holds on RGX-111 and RGX-121 may delay development, impose additional regulatory requirements, increase costs and adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations, or lead to the termination of one or both programs.
In January of this year the FDA placed a clinical hold on the investigational new drug application(s) (“IND”) for RGX-111 and RGX-121, which was later identified as a partial clinical hold in FDA letters received February of this year. The clinical holds preclude the recruitment of new patients in the ongoing studies and any new dosing of any study subject pending our submission of additional information requested by the FDA. Under the clinical holds, certain aspects of the clinical investigation may continue including limited enrollment and continued monitoring. The FDA indicated that the clinical holds were imposed due to an unreasonable and significant risk of human illness or injury and the need for additional information to assess those risks to subjects.
We are working to address the FDA’s requests and intend to submit a complete response as soon as practicable. However, we cannot predict the timing or outcome of FDA’s review or the steps that may be required to lift the clinical holds on either RGX-111 or RGX-121. FDA will require additional information regarding safety assessment related to malignancy risk, longer-term follow up data and cross-program safety assessment. Our responses to the clinical hold deficiencies could be time-consuming and costly and may not ultimately satisfy FDA. The holds have already paused screening, enrollment, dosing and other study activities and may adversely impact investigator engagement, site readiness, patient retention and our relationships with regulators, partners and patient communities. If the holds are not lifted in a timely manner, or at all, or if additional safety signals emerge, our ability to resume development, obtain regulatory approvals and ultimately commercialize RGX-111 and/or RGX-121 could be materially impaired, which would adversely impact our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
We received a Complete Response Letter from the FDA on our BLA for RGX-121, and if the resubmission of our BLA is not approved in accordance with our expected timeframe, our business could be materially and adversely affected.
In May 2025, the FDA accepted the BLA for RGX-121 for the treatment of patients with MPS II under the accelerated approval pathway. On February 7, 2026, we received the Complete Response Letter (“CRL”) from the FDA which stated that it had agreed to the study protocol in principle but outlined several reasons for not approving the gene therapy, including uncertainty regarding the identification of a target population with neuronopathic disease (vs. attenuated disease), the comparability of the natural history external control to the study population, and uncertainty that CSF HS D2S6 is a surrogate endpoint reasonably likely to predict clinical benefit. The CRL lists several potential paths forward, including a new study, treating additional patients and conducting longer-term follow up, and using an untreated control arm, all of which would be challenging in an ultra-rare disease population, like MPS II.
We plan to engage the FDA to discuss the CRL, including requesting a Type A meeting, as well as the planned BLA resubmission to provide additional evidence from global MPS II experts to further clarify the neuronopathic patient population and additional longer-term clinical data to support evidence of effectiveness. If we are unable to complete the BLA resubmission, or our resubmission does not address the deficiencies to the FDA’s satisfaction, our ability to commercialize RGX-121 will be further delayed, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations and may cause the market price of our common stock to decline.
receive a clinical hold for a particular product candidate, in addition to RGX-111 and RGX-121, which, if not lifted, could require that we discontinue development of a product candidate;
There have been several significant adverse side effects in gene therapy treatments in the past, including reported cases of leukemia in trials using lentivirus vectors and death seen in trials sponsored by other companies using adenovirus vectors and AAV vectors, including NAV vectors. Gene therapy is still a relatively new approach to disease treatment and additional adverse side effects could be identified. Any such adverse safety events in our programs or in AAV gene therapy programs conducted by other companies may negatively impact the regulatory environment, public perception, and financing conditions for AAV-based therapies, which could significantly increase our associated expenses and negatively impact our ability to raise additional capital.
There have been several significant adverse side effects in gene therapy treatments in the past, including reported cases of leukemia in trials using lentivirus vectors and death seen in trials sponsored by other companies using adenovirus vectors and AAV vectors, including NAV vectors. Gene therapy is still a relatively new approach to disease treatment and additional adverse side effects could be identified. There also is the potential risk of delayed adverse events following exposure to gene therapy products due to persistent biologic activity of the genetic material or other components of products used to carry the genetic material. Possible adverse side effects that could occur with treatment with gene therapy products include an immunologic reaction early after administration which could substantially limit the effectiveness of the treatment. In previous clinical trials involving AAV vectors for gene therapy, some subjects experienced the development of a T-cell response, whereby after the vector is within the target cell, the cellularsubject’s immune response system triggers the removal of transduced cells by activated T-cells. Approved labels for certain gene therapies state that AAV vector DNA can integrate into the host genome at low frequency and that such integration may carry a theoretical risk of malignancy, including hepatocellular carcinoma. Furthermore, in clinical trials sponsored by other companies involving AAV vectors administered intravitreally for the treatment of retinal conditions, serious adverse reactions, such as panuveitis and loss of vision, have occurred. In addition to side effects caused by product candidates, the administration process or related procedures also can cause adverse side effects. If any such adverse events occur in our or third-party trials, our clinical trials could be suspended or terminated. Additionally, if clinically meaningful AAV integration events or an increased incidence of cancer were observed in our studies or in the broader gene therapy field, the FDA or other regulatory authorities could impose additional requirements, place our clinical trials on hold, restrict dosing or patient populations, require enhanced warnings or other labeling limitations, or delay or deny approval of our product candidates. In the RGX-121 CRL, FDA noted that we should include a safety post marketing requirement in the resubmission.
Additionally, if any of our product candidates receives marketing approval, the FDA could require us to adopt a Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) and other regulatory authorities could impose other specific obligations as a condition of approval to ensure that the benefits of our product candidates outweigh their risks, which could delay approval of our product candidates. A REMS may include, among other things, a medication guide outlining the risks of the product for distribution to patients; a communication plan to health care practitioners or patients; and elements to assure safe use, which can severely restrict the distribution of a product by, for example, requiring that health care providers receive particular training and obtain special certification prior to prescribing and dispensing the product, limiting the healthcare settings in which the product may be dispensed and subjecting patients to monitoring and enrollment in a registry. If the FDA requires us to adopt a REMS program for our products and we are unable to comply with its requirements, the FDA may deem our products to be misbranded and we may be subject to civil money penalties. The European Commission, the EMA and other regulatory authorities may, following grant of marketing authorization in their territory, impose similar obligations.
We cannot commercialize a product candidate until the appropriate regulatory authorities have reviewed and approved the product candidate. Even if our product candidates meet their safety and efficacy endpoints in clinical trials, the regulatory authorities may not complete their review processes in a timely manner or we may not be able to obtain regulatory approval. The ability and willingness 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, and statutory, regulatory and policy changes. Average review times at the FDA have fluctuated in recent years as a result. Disruptions at the FDA and other agencies may also slow the time necessary for new product candidates to be reviewed and approved by necessary government agencies, which could adversely affect our business. In addition, government funding of 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. Additional delays may result if an FDA Advisory Committee or other regulatory authority recommends non-approval or restrictions on approval. The FDA has recently delayed approvals or issued CRLs for a number of rare disease therapies, including those seeking accelerated approval. Heightened regulatory scrutiny may delay or prevent our ability to resolve the deficiencies identified in the RGX-121 CRL and obtain approval of our product candidates. In addition, we may experience delays or rejections based on additional government regulation from future legislation or administrative action or based on changes in regulatory authority policy during the period of product development, clinical trials and the review process.
We engage in formal and informal interactions with the FDA and other regulatory authorities throughout development to obtain feedback on clinical trial design, endpoints, manufacturing, and other regulatory matters. Although we may believe we have reached alignment with regulatory authorities on certain development plans or regulatory pathways, including as reflected in meeting minutes or written correspondence, such feedback and agreements are not binding and may be revised or reinterpreted. Any failure by such regulatory authorities to maintain or adhere to prior feedback or agreements could materially adversely affect our development timelines, regulatory strategy and investor confidence in approval predictability affecting our ability to raise additional capital.
Further, the regulatory authorities may require concurrent approval or the CE mark (a mandatory conformity assessment marking for certain products sold within the European Economic Area (the EEA)) of a companion diagnostic device, since it may be necessary to use FDA-cleared or FDA-approved, or CE-marked, diagnostic tests or diagnostic tests approved by other comparable foreign regulatory authorities to diagnose patients or to assure the safe and effective use of our product candidates in trial subjects. FDA refers to such tests as in vitro companion diagnostic devices. The FDA has articulated a policy position that, when safe and effective use of a therapeutic product depends on a diagnostic device, the FDA generally will require approval or clearance of the companion diagnostic device at the same time that the FDA approves the therapeutic product. The FDA’s guidance allows for twoan exceptionsexception to the general rule of concurrent drug/device approval, namely,approval when the therapeutic product is intended to treat serious and life-threatening conditions for which no satisfactory alternative exists,treatment exists and whenthe abenefits seriousfrom safetythe issueuse arisesof for an approvedthe therapeutic agent,product andare so pronounced as to outweigh the fact that no FDA-cleared or FDA-approved companion diagnostic test is yet available. It is unclear how the FDA will apply this policy to our current or future gene therapy product candidates. Should the FDA deem genetic tests used for diagnosing patients for our therapies to be in vitro companion diagnostics requiring FDA clearance or approval, we may face significant delays or obstacles in obtaining approval of a BLA for our product candidates. In this regard, in a 2024 case a U.S. District Court vacated FDA’s final rule to regulate laboratory developed test services, and FDA declined to appeal, creating uncertainty for FDA’s continued regulation of certain tests as companion diagnostics. Uncertainty about the legal status of certain companion diagnostics, including the possibility of additional law or further regulations or guidance from FDA, may create uncertainty that could lead to delay in the development and approval of our product candidates.
In the European Union, companion diagnostics are subject to the European Union Regulation on in vitro diagnostic medical devices. This requires a conformity assessment of the companion diagnostic to be performed by a notified body, to demonstrate that it complies with the general safety and performance requirements of the Regulation. The notified body must consult with the EMA or a national regulatory authority in the EU to obtain an opinion on the suitability of the companion diagnostic for use with the medicinal product concerned. Following the successful completion of the conformity assessment procedure, the manufacturer may apply the CE mark to the companion diagnostic. Companies producing companion diagnostics are subject to various pre-market and post-market obligations in the EU, including the need to have a responsible person to oversee regulatory compliance. If the EMA determines that a companion diagnostic is required for a particular medicinal product, the EMA will not recommend approval of the medicinal product until the companion diagnostic has been CE marked.
In the European Union, companion diagnostics are subject to the European Union Directive on in vitro diagnostic medical devices and its implementation in the European Union Member States. Recently revised European Union laws on in vitro diagnostics applied beginning in 2022, which provide for stricter requirements for in vitro diagnostic medical devices and impose additional obligations on manufacturers of in vitro diagnostic medical devices that may impact the development and authorization of our product candidates in the European Union. For example, the new regulation extends the requirement for performance assessment procedures and requires greater involvement of notified bodies in the development of in vitro diagnostic medical devices. This may result in additional regulatory and premarket requirements to market new in vitro diagnostic medical devices. Companies producing in vitro diagnostic medical devices will be required to have a responsible person to oversee regulatory compliance. In addition, the new regulation introduces risk classification of in vitro diagnostic medical devices and significantly increases the number of products that will be subject to stricter regulation. It also introduces the requirement to involve a notified body in the conformity assessment procedure.
We face significant competition in an environment of rapid technological change and there is a possibility that our competitors may achieve regulatory approval before us or develop products that are safer, less expensive or more convenient or effective than ours, any of which may harm our financial condition and our ability to successfully market or commercialize our product candidates.
We have incurred cumulative net losses and have had few profitable quarters since inception.inception Weand expect to regularly incur losses until we have successfully commercialized one or more product candidates and may never achieve or maintain profitability in the future.
Since inception, we have incurred cumulative net losses. We have historically financed our operations primarily through private and public offerings of our equity securities, collaborations and licensing rights to our NAV Technology Platform, including milestone payments and royalties from our NAV Technology Licensees.Licensees and collaborators. We have devoted substantially all of our efforts to research and development, including preclinical and clinical development of our product candidates, and licensing our NAV Technology Platform, as well as to building out our team. We expect that it could be years before we commercialize most of our product candidates, and we can provide no assurance that we will ever be able to do so. We license certain intellectual property related to our NAV Technology Platform to our NAV Technology Licensees and collaborators. Our NAV Technology Licensees and collaborators have multiple preclinical studies and clinical trials in progress. However, only onetwo gene therapy productproducts based on our licensing program, Novartis AG’s Zolgensma,Zolgensma hasand Itvisma, have been approved or commercialized. Other than revenue in connection with sales of Zolgensma,Zolgensma and Itvisma, we may generate only limited recurring revenue in the near term from our current NAV Technology Licensees and collaborators. We expect to continue to incur significant expenses and regularly incur operating losses for the foreseeable future. The net losses we incur may fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter. We anticipate that our expenses will increase substantially if, and as, we:
Our existing cash resources may not be sufficient to fund our operations for the next 12 months.
Our existing cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities may not be sufficient to fund our operating expenses and capital requirements for at least the next 12 months from the issuance date of our financial statements. As a result, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Drug development is a lengthy, expensive, and uncertain process, and our product candidates may fail at any stage of development. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the successful development, regulatory approval, and commercialization of our product candidates. Our financial statements include disclosures indicating that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. This disclosure may adversely affect investor confidence, our stock price, and our ability to raise additional capital.
We will need to raise additional funding, which may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all.all, Failureand failure to obtaindo this necessary capital when neededso may force us to delay, limit or terminate certain of our licensing activities, product development and commercialization efforts or other operations.
We expect to require substantial future capital in order to complete research studies, preclinical and clinical development for our current product candidates and any future product candidates, and potentiallyto commercialize these product candidates, if approved. We expect our spending levels to increase in connection with our preclinical and clinical trials of our product candidates. In addition, if we obtain marketing approval for any of our product candidates, we expect to incur significant expenses related to product sales, medical affairs, marketing, manufacturing and distribution. Accordingly, we will need to obtain substantial additional funding in connection with our continuing operations. Increased unpredictability in the regulatory environment and the regulatory requirements to obtain approval of our product candidates may adversely impact our ability to raise the capital needed to finance our operations. If we are unable to raise capital when needed or on favorable terms, we could be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate certain of our licensing activities, our research and development programs or other operations.

However, our ability to generate revenue from sales of our internal product candidates will depend on our ability, alone or with partners, to successfully complete the development of, and obtain the regulatory approvals necessary to commercialize, our product candidates.
Many of these factors as they relate to our licensees’ and collaborators’ products, including Zolgensma,Zolgensma and Itvisma, will be outside our control, and future revenues in connection with sales of such products may be precluded or limited by any of these factors.

ABBV-RGX-314: We are developing ABBV-RGX-314 (surabgene lomparvoveclomparvovec, sura-vec) in collaboration with AbbVie as a potential one-time treatment for chronic retinal conditions that cause total or partial vision loss, including wet age-related macular degeneration (wet AMD) and diabetic retinopathy (DR). ABBV-RGX-314 is currently being evaluated in multiple clinical trials, including two pivotal trials (ATMOSPHERE and ASCENT), one Phase II bridging study, one long-term follow-up study and a fellow eye sub-study in patients with wet AMD, all utilizing subretinal delivery. Additionally, two Phase II clinical trials in patients with wet AMD (AAVIATE) and DR (ALTITUDE) are ongoing along with two corresponding long-term follow-up studies, all utilizing in-office suprachoroidal delivery. Within the Phase II study in DR, we are also evaluating ABBV-RGX-314 in diabetic macular edema (DME). Additionally, we are planning a Phase IIb/III program in DR and expect to dose the first patient in a two-part Phase IIb/III study (NAAVIGATE) in the second quarter of 2026. ABBV-RGX-314 uses the NAV® AAV8 vector to deliver a gene encoding a therapeutic antibody fragment to inhibit vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). We have licensed certain exclusive rights to the SCS Microinjector® from Clearside Biomedical, Inc. (Clearside) to deliver gene therapy treatments to the suprachoroidal space of the eye.
Enrollment continues to be on track in the ATMOSPHERE® and ASCENT™® pivotal trials for the treatment of patients with wet AMD using subretinal delivery.delivery was completed in October 2025. These trials are expected to support global regulatory submissions with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA). Topline data from these trials are expected to be shared in 2026.the fourth quarter of 2026 in partnership with AbbVie.
The AAVIATE® trial is a multi-center, open label, randomized, controlled, dose-escalation Phase II trial to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of suprachoroidal delivery of ABBV-RGX-314 for the treatment of wet AMD.
Based on the favorable safety profile observed as of July 29, 2024, the Phase II AAVIATE trial enrolled a cohort to evaluate ABBV-RGX-314 at dose level 4 (1.5x10e12 GC/eye). Patients in this cohort received short course prophylactic steroid eye drops.
The AAVIATE® trial is a multi-center, open label, randomized, controlled, dose-escalation Phase II trial to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of suprachoroidal delivery of ABBV-RGX-314 for the treatment of wet AMD. As of July 29, 2024, ABBV-RGX-314 at dose level 3 with short course prophylactic steroid eye drops continues to be well tolerated with no drug-related serious adverse events (SAEs) and no cases of intraocular inflammation, endophthalmitis, vasculitis, retinal artery occlusion, choroidal effusion or hypotony. Mild episcleritis occurred in three patients, all resolved and completed treatment with topical steroids. There were no cases of elevated intraocular pressure. Based on this favorable safety profile, the Phase II AAVIATE trial is initiating enrollment in a new cohort to evaluate ABBV-RGX-314 at dose level 4 (1.5x10e12 GC/eye). Patients in this cohort will also receive short course prophylactic steroid eye drops.
The ALTITUDE® trial is a multi-center, open label, randomized, controlled, dose-escalation Phase II trial to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of ABBV-RGX-314 using suprachoroidal delivery for the treatment of DR. BasedIn onNovember 2023, we announced data showing ABBV-RGX-314 was well tolerated at dose levels 1 and 2 and positive interim results from this trial, we, with partner AbbVie, conducted an End-of-Phase II meeting with the FDA in the fourth quartersignals of 2024.efficacy, Inincluding January20.8% 2025,of wepatients andexhibiting AbbVie> announced2-step weDiabetic willRetinopathy planSeverity aScale Phase(DRSS) IIIimprovement programwithout foradditional ABBV-RGX-314DR intreatment DR.at Theone program is expected to support global regulatory submissions.year.
In August 2025, we and AbbVie executed an amendment to our collaboration agreement and announced plans to initiate a pivotal program consisting of a Phase IIb/III trial (NAAVIGATE) as well as a second Phase III trial. NAAVIGATE is a Phase IIb/III multicenter, randomized, masked, sham-controlled study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of sura-vec in subjects with non-proliferative DR (NPDR) without center-involved diabetic macular edema (CI-DME). The primary endpoint is > 2-step improvement on the diabetic retinopathy severity scale (DRSS) at one year. Following an interim analysis, REGENXBIO and AbbVie will initiate a Phase III expansion, which will include two Phase III trials, including a U.S. trial and a parallel global trial, led by AbbVie. We expect to dose the first patient in NAAVIGATE in the second quarter of 2026.
The ALTITUDE trial is now enrollingincludes a new cohort of patients with center-involved DME.DME evaluating ABBV-RGX-314 at dose level 4. Enrollment completed in this cohort in June 2025. DME is a vision-threatening complication of DR; an estimated 34 million people globally have DME. Patients will receivereceived a one-time, in-office injection of ABBV-RGX-314 at dose level 4 (1.5x10e12 GC/eye) with short course prophylactic steroid eye drops.
RGX-202: We are developing RGX-202 as an investigational AAV therapeutic for the treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (Duchenne), using the NAV AAV8 vector to deliver a transgene for a novel microdystrophin that includes the functional elements of the C-Terminal domain as well as a muscle-specific promoter to support a targeted therapy for improved resistance to muscle damage associated with Duchenne. Other differentiating elements of RGX-202 include the proactive immune suppression regimen and in-house, state-of-the-art manufacturing that has demonstrated leading purity levels in Duchenne (>80% full capsids).
AFFINITY DUCHENNE® is a multicenter, open-label Phase I/II/III trial to evaluate the safety, tolerability and clinical efficacy of a one-time intravenous dose of RGX-202 in patients with Duchenne aged one and older. The initiation of the pivotal study as well as positive safety and efficacy data from the Phase I/II portion of the study, including the first functional data, were announced in November 2024. In March 2025, we announced that the pivotal study was nearly 50% enrolled, and we expectdesigned to completeenroll enrollmentapproximately 30 patients in the study in 2025, share top line data in the first half of 2026U.S. and submit a Biologics License Application (BLA) under the accelerated approval pathway in mid-2026.Canada.
In October 2025, we announced that enrollment in the AFFINITY DUCHENNE pivotal trial had completed and that we continue to enroll participants in the planned confirmatory trial. We expect to share topline data in the early second quarter of 2026 and request a pre-Biologics License Application (BLA) meeting with the FDA in mid-2026.
We began manufacturing the first batches of RGX-202 intended for commercial supply at our Manufacturing Innovation Center and completed the Process Performance Qualification (PPQ) campaign in the fourth quarter of 2025. Additional regulatory interactions with the FDA and the EMA are planned for 1H 2026.
We expect to share additional Phase I/II biomarker data at the 2025 Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) Clinical & Scientific Conference, including the first biomarker data from the cohort of patients aged 1-3. The company expects to share additional efficacy and safety data, including additional functional data, in the first half of 2025.
A BLA for RGX-121 seeking accelerated approval was submitted to the FDA in March 2025. The FDA subsequently granted priority review of the BLA and successfully completed mid-cycle meeting, Pre-license inspection (PLI) and Bioresearch monitoring information (BIMO) inspections. The PLI and BIMO inspections were completed with no observations. In August 2025, we announced that the FDA review timeline had been extended following submission of 12-month clinical data for all patients in the pivotal study of RGX-121 (n=13) in response to an FDA information request. The Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) goal date was extended from November 9, 2025 to February 8, 2026.
The longer-term data submitted to the FDA were presented at the International Congress of Inborn Errors of Metabolism (ICIEM) in September 2025. These results showed that in the pivotal phase of the CAMPSIITE trial (n=13), participants through one year sustained an 82% median reduction of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) levels of HS D2S6. These longer-term data were consistent with previously reported topline pivotal results from the CAMPSIITE trial.
In January 2026, we announced that the FDA placed the RGX-121 program on clinical hold in relation to a serious adverse event in a patient treated in the Phase I/II trial of RGX-111. The FDA cited the similarities in products, study populations, and shared risk between the clinical studies.
In February 2026, we announced that the FDA issued a Complete Response Letter (CRL) for the RGX-121 BLA. The FDA stated in the CRL that it had agreed to the study protocol in principle and outlined several reasons for not approving the gene therapy, including uncertainty regarding the study eligibility criteria to adequately define a population with neuronopathic disease (vs. attenuated disease), the comparability of the natural history external control to the study population, and the appropriateness of CSF HS D2S6 as a surrogate endpoint reasonably likely to predict clinical benefit. The CRL lists several potential paths forward, including a new study, treating additional patients and conducting longer-term follow up, and using an untreated control arm. Throughout active discussions during the BLA process, we believed we had addressed the points raised in the CRL through the submission of additional data and responses to numerous information requests. The FDA did not agree the data set provided substantial evidence of effectiveness to support approval of RGX-121 for the treatment of MPS II. We plan to request a Type A meeting with the FDA.
In the pivotal phase of the Phase I/II/III CAMPSIITE® trial, RGX-121 achieved its primary endpoint, a reduction in cerebrospinal fluid Heparan sulfate levels of D2S6, a biomarker indicative of brain disease activity, with statistical significance. In September 2024, we announced positive data from the pivotal dose level of RGX-121 demonstrating long-term systemic effect. We plan to use levels of cerebrospinal fluid Heparan sulfate D2S6 as a surrogate endpoint reasonably likely to predict clinical benefit for accelerated approval. A BLA for RGX-121 seeking accelerated approval was submitted to the FDA in March 2025, which we believe is likely to be eligible for priority review. We expect potential approval of RGX-121 in the second half of 2025.
As of March 2026, we plan to work with the FDA to address the clinical hold and CRL, and discuss potential paths forward for the program, Potential approval of the BLA for RGX-121 could result in receipt of a Rare Pediatric Disease Priority Review Voucher in 2025,(PRV), assuming the statutory criteria are met. If approved, RGX-121 would be the first approved gene therapy and one-time treatment for MPS II.
In November 2023, future development of RGX-111 was halted as a result of a strategic pipeline prioritization and corporate restructuring. Prior to that announcement, RGX-111 was demonstrated to be well tolerated and indicated encouraging biomarker and neurodevelopmental results in a Phase I/II study. Efforts to continue development of RGX-111 areas set to be reinitiated following our announcement in January 2025part of athe strategic partnership with Nippon Shinyaku.Shinyaku are ongoing.
In January 2026, we announced that the FDA placed the RGX-111 program on clinical hold following preliminary analysis of a single case of neoplasm (intraventricular CNS tumor) in a participant treated in the Phase I/II study. The case was identified during a routine brain MRI of an asymptomatic five-year-old participant who received intracisternal RGX-111 four years prior. Preliminary genetic analysis of the resected tumor detected an AAV vector genome integration event associated with overexpression of a proto-oncogene (PLAG1), which is known to be susceptible to chromosomal rearrangements. Final analysis of the resected tumor was conducted by an independent third-party lab, and, as previously reported, detected an AAV vector genome integration event associated with overexpression of a PLAG1. Clonal integration of AAV vector elements into the PLAG1 gene was detected in the tumor tissue. Analyses supported classification as a PLAG1‑family neuroepithelial tumor and are consistent with the hypothesis that AAV vector integration at the PLAG1 site contributed to tumor formation. Of note, this participant had a background of factors that could have contributed to risk of oncogenic transformation. This child underwent unsuccessful stem cell transplant at 4 months of age, with loss of donor chimerism, and he received chemotherapeutics that may have contributed to DNA damage. The report concludes, based on formal neuropsychologic testing and developmental pediatrician assessment, that the patient’s neurocognitive development is above average, which indicates mitigation of MPS I disease, and the patient continues to do well. We anticipate the analysis will be published in a peer-reviewed journal this year.
AbbVie Collaboration for ABBV-RGX-314
Strategic Pipeline Prioritization and Restructuring
In November 2023, we implemented a strategic pipeline prioritization and corporate restructuring designed to prioritize the development of ABBV-RGX-314, RGX-202 and RGX-121, and to seek strategic alternatives for our other clinical stage product candidates: (i) RGX-111 for the treatment of MPS I, (ii) RGX-181 for the treatment of late-infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis type 2 (CLN2) disease, and (iii) RGX-381 for the treatment of the ocular manifestations of CLN2 disease. The restructuring plan included a reduction in workforce and other planned operating expenses, primarily in rare neurodegenerative disease development, early research and other general and administrative areas. We implemented a reduction in workforce of approximately 15%, which was substantially completed in the fourth quarter of 2023. For additional information regarding the corporate restructuring, please refer to Note 14, “Restructuring” to the accompanying audited consolidated financial statements.
Collaboration and License Agreement with AbbVie

Additionally, we may never receive consideration inunder our license or collaboration agreements that is contemplated on optionoptional fees,goods and services, development and sales-based milestone payments,milestones, royalties on sales of licensed products or sublicense fees, given the contingent nature of these payments. Our revenues are concentrated among a low number of licensees and licensescollaborators and the arrangements are terminable at the option of the licensee.counterparty. The termination of our licenseslicense byand licenseescollaborations arrangements may materially impact the amount of revenue we recognize in future periods. Please refer to Note 17,16, “Segment and Geographical Information” to the accompanying audited consolidated financial statements for a description of segment and geographical information regarding our revenues.
Zolgensma and Itvisma Royalties
Royalty revenue to date consists primarily of royalties on net sales of Zolgensma,Zolgensma and Itvisma, which isare marketed by Novartis Gene Therapies, Inc. (formerly AveXis, Inc.) (Novartis Gene Therapies), a wholly owned subsidiary of Novartis AG (Novartis), for the treatment of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). Zolgensma isand aItvisma are licensed productproducts under our license agreement with Novartis Gene Therapies for the development and commercialization of treatments for SMA using the NAV Technology Platform.
Our operating expenses consist primarily of cost of license and royalty revenues, research and development expenses and general and administrative expenses. Personnel costs including salaries, wages, benefits, bonuses and stock-based compensation expense, comprise a significant component of research and development and general and administrative expenses. We allocate indirect expenses associated with our facilities, information technology costs, depreciation and other overhead costs between research and development and general and administrative categories based on employee headcount and the nature of work performed by each employee or using other reasonable allocation methodologies.
Cost of License and Royalty Revenues
Our cost of license and royalty revenues consists primarily of upstream fees due to our licensors as a result of revenue generated from the licensing of our NAV Technology Platform and other intellectual property rights, including sublicense fees and royalties on net sales of licensed products. Sublicense fees are based on a percentage of license fees received by us from licensees and are recognized in the period that the underlying license revenue is recognized. Royalties are based on a percentage of net sales of licensed products by licensees and are recognized in the period that the underlying sales occur. Future costs of revenues are uncertain due to the nature of our license agreements and significant fluctuations in cost of license and royalty revenues may occur from period to period.
We expect to continue to incur significant research and development expenses for the foreseeable future as we continue the development of our product candidates and engage in early research and development for prospective product candidates and new technologies. The following table summarizes our research and development expenses incurred during the years ended December 31, 2024, 20232025 and 20222024 (in thousands):
* Certain amounts reported in prior years have been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation.
Direct expenses related to the development of ABBV-RGX-314 for the years ended December 31, 2024, 20232025 and 20222024 include net cost reimbursement from AbbVie under our eye care collaboration of $78.3 million, $74.2$60.2 million and $19.3$78.3 million, respectively, which were recorded as a reduction of research and development expenses. NetIn addition to reimbursement of direct development expenses, net cost reimbursement from AbbVie includes reimbursement of personnel and overhead costs attributable to the development of ABBV-RGX-314, the underlying costs of which are reported as unallocated expenses in the table above. We typically utilize our employee and infrastructure resources across our development programs. As a result, we generally do not allocate personnel and other internal costs, such as facilities and other overhead costs, to specific product candidates or development programs.
Platform and early research reported in the table above includes direct costs not identifiable with a specific lead product candidate, including costs associated with our research and development platform used across programs, manufacturing support, process and analytical development, early research and development for prospective product candidates and new technologies, and other costs in support of research and development activities.
Direct expenses related to the development of product candidates for which we have discontinued internal development are included in other product candidates in the table above. We expect to continue to incur minor development expenses associated with long-term follow up studies for certain discontinued product candidates.
Our general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, wages and personnel-related costs, including benefits, travel and stock-based compensation, for employees performing functions other than research and development. This includes certain personnel in executive, commercial, corporate development, finance, legal, human resources, information technology, facilities and administrative support functions. Additionally, general and administrative expenses include costs associated with accounting, legal, commercial and other corporate advisory services, obtaining and maintaining patents, insurance, information systems and other general corporate activities, as well as facility-related costs and other corporate overhead costs not otherwise allocated to research and development expense. We expect that our general and administrative expenses will increase as we continue to develop, and potentially commercialize, our product candidates. Specifically, we expect general and administrative costs associated with the potential commercialization of our product candidates to increase in future periods as we and our commercial partners prepare for and carry out product launch efforts, in particular for the potential commercialization of our RGX-202 and ABBV-RGX-314 product candidates.
Investment income consists of interest income earned and gains and losses realized from our cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and non-marketable equity securities. Cash equivalents are comprised of money market mutual funds and highly liquid debt securities with original maturities of 90 days or less at acquisition. Marketable securities are comprised of available-for-sale debt securities.
Interest expense is primarily associated with our royalty monetization liabilities, including our December 2020 royalty purchase agreement (2020 Royalty Purchase Agreement) and May 2025 loan agreement (2025 Royalty Bond) with HCR. For further information regarding our royalty monetization liabilities and associated interest expense, please refer to Note 7, “Royalty Monetization Liabilities” to the accompanying audited consolidated financial statements.
Interest expense consists primarily of interest imputed on the liability related to the sale of future Zolgensma royalties to entities managed by Healthcare Royalty Management, LLC (collectively, HCR). Interest expense is recognized using the effective interest method, based on our estimate of total royalty payments expected to be received by HCR under the royalty purchase agreement. For further information regarding the royalty purchase agreement with HCR, please refer to Note 7, “Liability Related to Sale of Future Royalties” to the accompanying audited consolidated financial statements.
License and Royalty Revenue
We license our NAV Technology Platform and other intellectual property rights to other biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies.companies, including collaborators for the joint development and commercialization of our product candidates. The terms of the licenses vary, and licenses may be exclusive or non-exclusive and may be sublicensable by the licensee. Licenses may grant intellectual property rights for purposes of internal and preclinical research and development only, or may include the rights, or options to obtain future rights, to commercialize drug therapies for specific diseases using ourthe NAV Technology Platform and other licensed rights. License agreements generally have a term at least equal to the life of the underlying patents, but are terminable at the option of the licensee. Consideration payable to us under our license and collaboration agreements may include: (i) up-front and annual fees, (ii) milestone payments based on the achievement of certain development and sales-based milestones, (iii) sublicense fees, (iv) royalties on sales of licensed products, (v) fees for services related to the development and manufacturing of licensed products and (vi) other consideration payable upon optional goods and services purchased by licensees.licensees and collaborators.
We evaluate our agreements with collaboration partners to determine whether they are within the scope of ASC 808, Collaborative Arrangements (ASC 808). For collaboration arrangements within the scope of ASC 808 that contain multiple elements, we identify the various transactions with the counterparty and determine if any unit of account is more reflective of a transaction with a customer and therefore should be accounted for within the scope of ASC 606. For transactions that are accounted for pursuant to ASC 606, we apply the five-step model as described in our revenue recognition policies. For transactions that are accounted for pursuant to ASC 808, an appropriate method of recognition and presentation is determined and consistently applied in accordance with our accounting policies for collaborative arrangements.
Our license and collaboration agreements are accounted for as contracts with customers within the scope of ASC 606, with the exception of transactions for which the counterparty is determined not to be a customer. At the inception of each license agreement, we determine the contract term for purposes of applying the requirements of ASC 606. Licenses are generally terminable at the option of the licensee with advance notice to us. For each license granted, including licenses granted upon the exercise of license options, we evaluate these termination rights to determine whether a substantive termination penalty would be incurred by the licensee upon termination. If the licensee incurs a substantive termination penalty upon termination, the contract term for revenue recognition purposes is generally equal to the stated term of the license, which is the life of the underlying licensed patents. Alternatively, if the licensee does not incur a substantive termination penalty upon termination, the contract term for revenue recognition purposes may be shorter than the stated term of the license, in which case the termination rights may be accounted for as contract renewal options. The determination of whether a substantive termination penalty is associated with the termination rights requires significant judgment. In making this determination, we consider, among other things, the nature of the intellectual property rights that would be returned to us upon termination, including the exclusivity of the licensed rights and the stage of development of the licensed products, the payment terms, including the amount and timing of non-refundable or guaranteed payments, and the business purpose of the termination rights granted to the licensee. Generally, the most significant judgment in determining whether a substantive termination penalty exists relates to the amount of any up-front or guaranteed non-refundable payments relative to the amount of annual payments that may be avoided by the licensee upon termination of the license. We consider all of the facts and circumstances relevant to each license when making this determination.
Performance obligations under our license and collaboration agreements may include (i) the delivery of intellectual property licenses, (ii) options granted to licensees to acquire additional licenses, to the extent the options represent material rights to the licensee,development and (iii) research and developmentmanufacturing services to be performed by us related to licensed products.products Licenseand agreements may provide licensees with contract renewal(iii) options or optionsgranted to acquirepurchase additional licenses, goods orand other services. Options are evaluated at the inception of the license agreement to determine whether they provide material rightsservices, to the licensee.

At the inception of each license agreement which contains performance obligations for researchdevelopment, andmanufacturing developmentor other services, we evaluate whether the license is distinct from the research and development services, which requires judgment. In making this determination, we consider, among other things, the stage of development of the licensed products and whether the research and development services will significantly impact further development of the licensed products. If it is determined that the license is not distinct from the research and development services, the license is combined with the research and development services into a single performance obligation. Agreements may provide licensees and collaborators with options to purchase additional goods or other services, including options to purchase commercial supply of licensed products. Options are evaluated at the inception of the agreement to determine whether they provide material rights to the customer. In making this determination, we consider whether the options are priced at an incremental discount to the standalone selling price of the underlying goods or services, in which case the option is considered to be a material right. Material rights are accounted for as separate performance obligations under the current arrangement.
We evaluate the transaction price of our license and collaboration agreements at thecontract inception of each agreement and at each reporting date. The transaction price includes the fixed consideration payable to us duringover the contract term, as well as any variable consideration to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of revenue will not occur in the future.

We have developed a broad pipeline of gene therapy programs using our proprietary adeno-associated virus (AAV) gene therapy delivery platform (NAV Technology Platform) as a one-time treatment to address an array of diseases. Our lead programs and product candidates are described below:below.
We are developing ABBV-RGX-314 (surabgene lomparvovec, sura-vec) in collaboration with AbbVie as a potential one-time treatment for chronic retinal conditions that cause total or partial vision loss, including wet age-related macular degeneration (wet AMD) and diabetic retinopathy (DR). Sura-vecIn wet AMD, sura-vec is currently being evaluated in multiple clinical trials,trials utilizing subretinal delivery, including two pivotal trials (ATMOSPHERE and ASCENT) where enrollment has been completed, one long-term follow-up study and a fellow eye sub-studysub-study. inIn patientsDR, withwe wetare AMD,actively allenrolling utilizinga subretinalpivotal, two-part Phase IIb/III study (NAAVIGATE) using suprachoroidal delivery. Additionally,In addition to these late-stage pivotal programs, sura-vec is being evaluated in two Phase II clinical trials in patients with wet AMD (AAVIATE) and DR (ALTITUDE), which are ongoing along with two corresponding long-term follow-up studies, all utilizing in-office suprachoroidal delivery. Within the Phase II study in DR, we are also evaluating sura-vec in diabetic macular edema (DME). Additionally, we have activated U.S. clinical sites and initiated enrollment of a pivotal trial in DR and expect to dose the first patient in the two-part Phase IIb/III study (NAAVIGATE) in the second quarter of 2026. Sura-vec uses the NAV® AAV8 vector to deliver a gene encoding a therapeutic antibody fragment to inhibit vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). We have licensed certain exclusive rights to the SCS Microinjector® from Clearside Biomedical, Inc. (Clearside) to deliver gene therapy treatments to the suprachoroidal space of the eye.
ATMOSPHERE® and ASCENT® are multi-center, randomized, active-controlled trials evaluating sura-vec versus ranibizumab and aflibercept, respectively. The primary endpoint is non-inferiority based on change from baseline in best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) at 54 weeks and one year, respectively. Secondary endpoints include safety and tolerability, change in central retinal thickness (CRT) and need for supplemental anti-VEGF injections in the treatment arms.
Enrollment in the ATMOSPHERE® and ASCENT® pivotal trials for the treatment of patients with wet AMD using subretinal delivery was completed in October 2025. These trialstrials, which together enrolled over 1,200 participants across more than 200 sites, are expected to support global regulatory submissions including with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA). Topline data from these trials are expected to be sharedannounced in the fourth quarter of 2026 in partnership with AbbVie, with global regulatory submissions expected in 2027.
In July 2026, we presented long-term follow-up data from the Phase I/IIa trial that demonstrated a durable safety and efficacy profile through five years, with participants in Cohorts 3 and 4, who received subretinal sura-vec at doses similar to those being studied in the ATMOSPHERE and ASCENT pivotal trials, demonstrating stable to improved visual acuity and meaningful reductions in anti-VEGF treatment burden, with the exception of one participant in Cohort 4 with polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy refractory to anti-VEGF therapy.
The ALTITUDE® trial is a multi-center, open label, randomized, controlled, dose-escalation Phase II trial to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of sura-vec using suprachoroidal delivery for the treatment of DR. In November 2023, we announced data showing sura-vec was well tolerated at dose levels 1 and 2 and positive signals of efficacy, including 20.8% of patients exhibiting > 2-step Diabetic Retinopathy Severity Scale (DRSS) improvement without additional DR treatment at one year. In August 2025, we announced positive 2-year data showing sura-vec was well tolerated in subjects with non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) at dose levels 1, 2, and 3. There were no drug-related serious adverse events and no intraocular inflammation was observed through two years at dose level 3 (1.0x1012 GC/eye) (n = 15) with short-course topical prophylactic steroids. 50% of dose level 3 patients achieved at least a two-step improvement without need for any supplemental treatment.
Concurrent with the two-year data announcement inIn August 2025, we and AbbVie announced an amendment to our collaboration agreement and plans to initiate a pivotal program consisting of a Phase IIb/III trial (NAAVIGATE) as well as a second Phase III trial. NAAVIGATE is a two-part, multicenter, randomized, masked, sham-controlled Phase IIb/III study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a one-time, in-office administration of sura-vec in subjects with non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) without center-involved diabetic macular edema (CI-DME). The primary endpoint is > 2-step improvement on the Diabetic Retinopathy Severity Scale (DRSS) at one year. We are actively enrolling the Phase IIb/III NAAVIGATE trial and, in June 2026, dosed the first patient in the Phase IIb portion of the trial, upon which we earned a $100.0 million milestone payment that was received from AbbVie in July 2026. Following an interim analysis of part one (Phase IIb) portion of the NAAVIGATE trial, we and AbbVie willexpect to initiate a Phase III expansion, including part two (Phase III) of the U.S. NAAVIGATE trial and a parallel global trial led by AbbVie. We have activated U.S. clinical sites and initiated enrollment of the Phase IIb/III NAAVIGATE trial and expect to dose the first patient in the second quarter of 2026, upon which we are entitled to a $100.0 million milestone payment from AbbVie.
Concurrent with the August 2025 announcement, we announced positive two-year data from the Phase II ALTITUDE® trial. The ALTITUDE trial is a multi-center, open label, randomized, controlled, dose-escalation Phase II trial to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of sura-vec using suprachoroidal delivery for the treatment of DR. The positive two-year data showed sura-vec was well tolerated in subjects with NPDR at dose levels 1, 2, and 3. There were no drug-related serious adverse events and no intraocular inflammation was observed through two years at dose level 3 (1.0x1012 GC/eye) (n = 15) with short-course topical prophylactic steroids. Additionally, 50% of dose level 3 patients achieved at least a two-step improvement without need for any supplemental treatment.
In July 2026, we presented long-term follow-up data from the Phase II ALTITUDE trial that showed, among other findings, that participants at dose level 3 (1.0×10¹² GC/eye) with short-course prophylactic topical steroids, the same dose being evaluated in the Phase IIb/III NAAVIGATE trial, maintained a durable safety and efficacy profile through 2.5 years. 55% of participants achieved >2-step improvement on the DRSS without additional treatment, and 70% of participants experienced no vision-threatening events. These data are consistent with previously presented two-year dose level 3 NPDR data from the ALTITUDE trial and support the potential of one-time in-office sura-vec to modify the underlying disease and decrease risk of vision-threatening events.
In October 2025, we announced that enrollment had completed in the pivotal portion of AFFINITY DUCHENNE,DUCHENNE which was designed to enroll (n=approximately 30 patients in the U.S. and Canada, and that we continue to enroll participants in the ongoing confirmatory trial.).
As reported in the May 2026 topline data update, we have enrolled over 20 patients in the confirmatory trial (n=30) evaluating RGX-202 in ambulatory patients aged one year and older, and we expect to complete dosing in all 60 patients across the pivotal and confirmatory trials by mid-2026.
InAs of May 2026, in recent discussions withdiscussions, the FDA, the agencyFDA shared that the use of RGX-202 microdystrophin expression as a surrogate endpoint will be based on the correlation analysis with clinical outcomes, which has been clearly demonstrated in our interim data. While the FDA has recommended a randomized controlled trial, it has guided that externally controlled trials may be adequate for demonstrating substantial evidence of effectiveness, especially when the treatment effect is sufficiently large enough to overcome limitations of externally controlled trials. The FDA offered to review the RGX-202 data and alternative proposals. We plan to discuss this data with the FDA at a future meeting. We are also finalizing the trial design for a study of RGX-202 outside the United States to support global regulatory submissions.
Given the positive topline pivotal data, continued favorable safety profile, and statistically significant correlation between microdystrophin and functional improvement, we plan to pursueinitiate a Biologics License Application (BLA) submission in the third quarter of 2026 under the accelerated approval forpathway RGX-202to and are preparing for asupport potential commercialFDA launchapproval in the second half of 2027.
In June 2026, we announced we had completed dosing in the confirmatory study of RGX-202 and our plan to include in our planned BLA a safety dataset from the AFFINITY DUCHENNE pivotal and confirmatory studies (n=63) as well as efficacy data from the pivotal portion (n=30), including 12-month functional data for at least half of the total participants in the pivotal study.
We expect to initiate AFFINITY® RISE, a new, ex-U.S. randomized, placebo-controlled study to support RGX-202 global regulatory submissions, in the first half of 2027.
Following the CRL, we entered into discussions with FDA senior leadership in March 2026 and filed a Formal Dispute Resolution Request.
In June 2026, we announced alignment with the FDA regarding the next steps needed for a potential accelerated approval of RGX-121. During those discussions, the FDA acknowledged that the existing RGX-121 clinical data is sufficient to be considered for the accelerated approval pathway and that the Company does not need to enroll additional patients or conduct additional studies, including the FDA’s previously recommended incorporation of an untreated control arm. The FDA asked the Company to request a Type A meeting to review existing longer-term biomarker and clinical data and to resubmit the BLA following this meeting. The FDA stated that it would review our resubmission on an expedited basis, with labeling discussions to begin shortly following the resubmission.
In July 2026, we and the FDA held a positive Type A meeting during which the FDA reaffirmed that no additional studies of RGX-121 are required for BLA resubmission. We and the FDA aligned on resubmission requirements and we plan to resubmit the RGX-121 BLA in the third quarter of 2026. The resubmission will include longer-term efficacy and safety data, including participant imaging that has been submitted to FDA and continues to be collected and analyzed as part of ongoing RGX-121 safety monitoring. A post-approval confirmatory study will be discussed as part of BLA review.
Following the CRL, we entered into discussions with FDA senior leadership in March 2026 and filed a Formal Dispute Resolution Request which is pending. We plan to continue to work with the FDA to address the CRL and discuss potential paths forward for the RGX-121 program. Potential approval of the BLA for RGX-121 could result in receipt of a Rare Pediatric Disease Priority Review Voucher (PRV), assuming the statutory criteria are met. If approved, RGX-121 would be the first approved gene therapy and one-time treatment for MPS II.
In June 2026, we dosed the first patient in the NAAVIGATE trial, resulting in a $100.0 million development milestone payment from AbbVie which was fully recognized as license and royalty revenue in the second quarter of 2026. The $100.0 million milestone payment was recorded as accounts receivable as of June 30, 2026 and was received from AbbVie in July 2026.
In addition to our internal product development efforts, we also selectively license the NAV Technology Platform and other intellectual property rights to other leading biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, which we refer to as NAV Technology Licensees. As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, our NAV Technology Platform was being applied in two commercial products, Zolgensma® and Itvisma®, and the preclinical and clinical development of various other licensed products. Licensing the NAV Technology Platform allows us to maintain our internal product development focus on our core disease indications and therapeutic areas while still expanding the NAV gene therapy pipeline, developing a greater breadth of treatments for patients, providing additional technological and potential clinical proof-of-concept for our NAV Technology Platform and creating additional revenue opportunities.
Royalty revenue to date consists primarily of royalties on net sales of Zolgensma and Itvisma, which are marketed by Novartis Innovative Technologies Inc. (formerly, Novartis Gene Therapies, Inc. (Novartis Gene Therapies), a wholly owned subsidiary of Novartis AG (Novartis), for the treatment of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). Zolgensma and Itvisma are licensed products under our license agreement with Novartis Gene Therapies (the Novartis License) for the development and commercialization of treatments for SMA using the NAV Technology Platform.
In mid-JanuaryJanuary 2026, licensed patents for Zolgensma under the Novartis License expired in the United States. We are entitled to continued royalties on net sales of Zolgensma in approximately 20 countries where licensed patents remain active. Licensed product made prior to patent expiration but sold after expiration may also be subject to royalties. PatentsLicensed patents covering the use of Itvisma have issued in the United States and certain other countriescountries, and are licensed to Novartis Gene Therapies under the Novartis License. Wewe are entitled to ongoing royalties on certain net sales of Itvisma in these territories.
We expect to continue to incur significant research and development expenses for the foreseeable future as we continue the development of our product candidates and engage in early research and development for prospective product candidates and new technologies. The following table summarizes our research and development expenses incurred during the three and six months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and 2025 (in thousands):
Direct expenses related to the development of ABBV-RGX-314sura-vec include $12.6$12.1 million and $14.7$24.7 million for the three and six months ended MarchJune 31,30, 20262026, respectively, and $17.1 million and $31.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, in net cost reimbursement from AbbVie under our eye care collaboration, which were recorded as a reduction of research and development expenses. In addition to reimbursement of direct development expenses, net cost reimbursement from AbbVie includes reimbursement of personnel and overhead costs attributable to the development of ABBV-RGX-314,sura-vec, the underlying costs of which are reported as unallocated expenses in the table above. We typically utilize our employee and infrastructure resources across our development programs. As a result, we generally do not allocate personnel and other internal costs, such as facilities and other overhead costs, to specific product candidates or development programs.
Our general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, wages and personnel-related costs, including benefits, travel and stock-based compensation, for employees performing functions other than research and development. This includes certain personnel in executive, commercial, corporate development, finance, legal, human resources, information technology, facilities and administrative support functions. Additionally, general and administrative expenses include costs associated with accounting, legal, commercial and other corporate advisory services, obtaining and maintaining patents, insurance, information systems and other general corporate activities, as well as facility-related costs and other corporate overhead costs not otherwise allocated to research and development expense. We expect that our general and administrative expenses will increase as we continue to develop, and potentially commercialize, our product candidates. Specifically, we expect general and administrative costs associated with the potential commercialization of our product candidates to increase in future periods as we and our commercial partners prepare for and carry out product launch efforts, in particular for the potential commercialization of our RGX-202 and ABBV-RGX-314sura-vec product candidates.
Comparison of the Three Months Ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and 2025
License and Royalty Revenue. License and royalty revenue decreased by $82.0 million, from $87.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 to $5.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026. The decrease was primarily attributable to $70.0 million of upfront license revenue recognized under our collaboration with Nippon Shinyaku in the first quarter of 2025, as well as a decrease in royalty revenues for the first quarter of 2026. Combined Zolgensma and Itvisma royalties decreased by $11.9 million, from $17.0 million for the first quarter of 2025 to $5.1 million for the first quarter of 2026. Novartis reported combined Zolgensma and Itvisma sales of $302 million for the first quarter of 2026, as compared to $327 million for the first quarter of 2025. Zolgensma royalties for the first quarter of 2026 were $4.7 million, a decrease of $12.2 million from the first quarter of 2025. The decrease was primarily attributable to the expiration of licensed patents in the United States in mid-January 2026. We are entitled to continued royalties on net sales of Zolgensma in approximately 20 countries where licensed patents remain active. Itvisma royalties for the first quarter of 2026 were $0.3 million. Itvisma was approved in the United States in the fourth quarter of 2025, with U.S. sales commencing in the first quarter of 2026. Licensed patents covering the use of Itvisma have issued in the United States and certain other countries, and we are entitled to ongoing royalties on certain net sales of Itvisma in these territories.

Combined Zolgensma and Itvisma royalties decreased by $14.6 million, from $18.4 million for the second quarter of 2025 to $3.8 million for the second quarter of 2026. Novartis reported combined Zolgensma and Itvisma sales of $365 million for the second quarter of 2026, as compared to $297 million for the second quarter of 2025. Per Novartis, sales growth was driven by continued launch momentum from Itvisma, and Zolgensma sales remained stable. Zolgensma royalties for the second quarter of 2026 were $1.8 million, a decrease of $16.7 million from the second quarter of 2025, which was primarily attributable to the expiration of licensed patents in the United States in January 2026. We are entitled to continued royalties on net sales of Zolgensma in approximately 20 countries where licensed patents remain active. Itvisma royalties for the second quarter of 2026 were $2.1 million. Itvisma was approved in the United States in the fourth quarter of 2025, with U.S. sales commencing in the first quarter of 2026. Itvisma is now also approved in the UAE, Japan, Qatar and the EU. Licensed patents covering the use of Itvisma have issued in the United States and certain other countries, and we are entitled to ongoing royalties on certain net sales of Itvisma in these territories.
Cost of License and Royalty Revenues. Cost of license and royalty revenues increased by $7.6 million, from $3.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 to $11.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026. The increase was largely driven by a non-recurring charge of $10.0 million in the first quarter of 2026 related to a settlement with GlaxoSmithKline LLC (GSK) to resolve a dispute over sublicense fee obligations under our license agreement with GSK. For further information regarding the settlement agreement with GSK, please refer to Note 8, “Commitments and Contingencies—GlaxoSmithKline—GSK Settlement Agreement” to the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements.

The increasedecrease was primarily attributable to the following:
an increase of $1.3 million in costs associated with clinical trials and regulatory activities, largely driven by RGX-202 pivotal trials;
an increase of $1.1 million in personnel-related costs due to increased headcount of development personnel, net of a $0.2 million decrease in stock-based compensation expense;
ana increasedecrease of $0.9$3.0 million in manufacturing-related expenses and other clinical supply costs for our lead product candidates; and ana increasedecrease of $0.9$1.5 million in costs associated with preclinicalclinical activitiestrials and otherregulatory early-stageactivities, researchlargely driven by a decrease in expenses for sura-vec and development.RGX-121 pivotal trials, and partially offset by an increase in pivotal trial expenses for RGX-202.
The decrease in research and development expenses was partially offset by an increase of $0.9 million in costs associated with preclinical activities and other early-stage research and development.
General and Administrative Expense. General and administrative expenses increased by $1.0$1.7 million, from $20.3$19.9 million for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2025 to $21.3$21.6 million for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026. The increase was largely driven by personnel-related costs, commercialization expenses, consulting and other corporate advisory services.
Comparison of the Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 and 2025

License and royalty revenue increased by $3.4 million, from $105.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 to $108.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026. The increase was primarily attributable to $100.0 million of license revenue recognized in the second quarter of 2026 upon the achievement of a development milestone under our sura-vec collaboration with AbbVie for the first patient dosed in the NAAVIGATE trial. The increase in license and royalty revenue was partially offset by $70.0 million of non-recurring, upfront license revenue recognized under our collaboration with Nippon Shinyaku in the first quarter of 2025, as well as a decrease in royalty revenues for the first half of 2026.
Combined Zolgensma and Itvisma royalties decreased by $26.5 million, from $35.4 million for the first half of 2025 to $8.9 million for the first half of 2026. Novartis reported combined Zolgensma and Itvisma sales of $667 million for the first half of 2026, as compared to $624 million for the first half of 2025. Per Novartis, sales growth was driven by continued launch momentum from Itvisma, and Zolgensma sales remained stable. Zolgensma royalties for the first half of 2026 were $6.5 million, a decrease of $28.9 million from the first half of 2025, which was primarily attributable to the expiration of licensed patents in the United States in January 2026. We are entitled to continued royalties on net sales of Zolgensma in approximately 20 countries where licensed patents remain active. Itvisma royalties for the first half of 2026 were $2.4 million. Itvisma was approved in the United States in the fourth quarter of 2025, with U.S. sales commencing in the first quarter of 2026. Itvisma is now also approved in the UAE, Japan, Qatar and the EU.

Cost of License and Royalty Revenues. Cost of license and royalty revenues increased by $3.5 million, from $8.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 to $12.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026. The increase was largely driven by a non-recurring charge of $10.0 million in the first quarter of 2026 related to a settlement with GlaxoSmithKline LLC (GSK) to resolve a dispute over sublicense fee obligations under our license agreement with GSK. For further information regarding the settlement agreement with GSK, please refer to Note 8, “Commitments and Contingencies—GlaxoSmithKline—GSK Settlement Agreement” to the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements. The increase in cost of license and royalty revenues was partially offset by a decrease in upstream royalties on net sales of Zolgensma, consistent with the decrease in Zolgensma royalty revenues.
Research and Development Expense. Research and development expenses increased by $0.8 million, from $112.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 to $113.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026. The increase was primarily attributable to the following:
an increase of $1.8 million in personnel-related costs, net of a $0.3 million decrease in stock-based compensation expense; and an increase of $1.8 million in costs associated with preclinical activities and other early-stage research and development.
The increase in research and development expenses was partially offset by a decrease of $2.1 million in manufacturing-related expenses and other clinical supply costs for our lead product candidates.
General and Administrative Expense. General and administrative expenses increased by $2.7 million, from $40.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 to $42.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026. The increase was largely driven by personnel-related costs, commercialization expenses, consulting and other corporate advisory services.
As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $150.5$105.5 million, which were primarily derived from our royalty monetization with HCR in May 2025 and thesales up-frontof paymentcommon receivedstock under theour Nipponat-the-market Shinyakuoffering Collaboration Agreement in March 2025.program.
At-the-Market Offering Program
In December 2024, we entered into a Sales Agreement with Leerink Partners LLC (Leerink) pursuant to which we may offer and sell shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $150.0 million from time to time through Leerink, acting as our sales agent (the Leerink ATM Program). AsDuring ofthe Marchthree 31,and six months ended June 30, 2026, nowe sold 2,318,735 shares of common stock hadunder beenthe ATM Program for aggregate net proceeds of $18.9 million, after deducting commissions and offering expenses.

In June 2026, we dosed the first patient in the NAAVIGATE trial, resulting in a $100.0 million development milestone payment due to us under our sura-vec collaboration with AbbVie. The $100.0 million milestone payment was recorded as accounts receivable as of June 30, 2026 and was received from AbbVie in July 2026.
In July 2026, we completed a public offering of 11,671,139 shares of our common stock (inclusive of 1,667,250 shares pursuant to the full exercise by the underwriters of their option to purchase additional shares) at a price of $9.00 per share and 1,111,111 pre-funded warrants to purchase shares of our common stock at a price of $8.9999 per pre-funded warrant, which equaled the public offering price per share of the common stock less the $0.0001 exercise price of each pre-funded warrant. The aggregate net proceeds received from the offering were approximately $107.8 million, net of underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses.
Future Liquidity and Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
We expect that our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $150.5$105.5 million as of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, along with the $100.0 million milestone payment received from AbbVie in July 2026 willand enablethe us$107.8 tomillion fundin ournet operatingproceeds expensesreceived from the public offering of common stock and capitalpre-funded expenditurewarrants requirements,in andJuly 2026, are sufficient to fund operations into the fourth quarter of 2027.

We have based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could exhaust our capital resources sooner than expected. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within 12 months from the issuance date of our consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2026, which accompany this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Our ability to continue as a going concern will depend heavily on the successful development, approval and commercialization of our product candidates and our ability to raise additional capital to fund operations. If we are unable to raise capital sufficient to meet our working capital needs in the future, we may be forced to delay expenditures, reduce the scope of our development activities or make other changes to our operating plans.
Our net cash used in operating activities for the threesix months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 increased by $109.8$122.7 million from the threesix months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2025, largely driven by the $110.0 million up-front fee we received from Nippon Shinyaku in March 2025 and an increase in operating expenses in the first quarterhalf of 2026. We expect to continue to incur regular net cash outflows from operations for the foreseeable futurefuture, which from time to time may be offset by non-recurring payments received under our license and collaboration arrangements, as we continue the development and advancement of our product candidates and other research programs.
For the threesix months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, our net cash used in operating activities of $76.2$138.4 million consisted of a net loss of $90.1$67.3 million and unfavorable changes in operating assets and liabilities of $1.5$104.8 million, offset by adjustments for non-cash items of $15.4$33.7 million. The changes in operating assets and liabilities include an increase in accounts receivable of $78.5 million, which was driven primarily by the $100.0 million development milestone due from AbbVie as of June 30, 2026 and received in July 2026, and was partially offset by a $19.7 million decrease in royalties due from Novartis. The unfavorable changes in operating assets and liabilities also include a decrease in accrued expenses and other current liabilities of $16.7$15.6 million, which was driven largely by decreases in accrued personnel-related expenses, royalties and sublicense fees, and external research and development services. The unfavorable changes in operating assets and liabilities were partially offset by a decrease in accounts receivable of $18.2 million, which was driven largely by royalties receivable on net sales of Zolgensma. Other changes in operating working capital occurred in the normal course of business. Adjustments for non-cash items primarily consisted of stock-based compensation expense of $8.6$17.7 million, depreciation and amortization expense of $3.9$7.6 million and non-cash interest expense of $3.8$9.7 million.

The changes in operating assets and liabilities include an increase of $39.8 million in deferred revenue,revenue of $37.7 million, which was driven primarily by the deferred portion of the $110.0 million up-front payment received under our collaboration with Nippon Shinyaku in the first quarter of 2025. The favorable changes in operating assets and liabilities were partially offset by a decrease in total accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities of $18.1 million, which was driven largely by decreases in accrued personnel-related expenses, royalties and external research and development services, as well as a totalan increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $4.3$7.3 million, which was driven primarily by increasesan increase in prepaid software licenses and net cost reimbursement due from AbbVie under our ABBV-RGX-314sura-vec collaboration.collaboration and increases in prepaid clinical trial services and software licenses. Other changes in operating working capital occurred in the normal course of business. Adjustments for non-cash items primarily consisted of stock-based compensation expense of $17.2 million and depreciation and amortization expense of $7.9 million.
For the threesix months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, our net cash provided by investing activities consisted of $81.7$148.3 million in sales and maturities of marketable debt securities, offset by $9.8 million used to purchase marketable debt securities and $1.2$2.0 million used to purchase property and equipment.

For the threesix months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, our net cash usedprovided inby financing activities primarily consisted of $13.4$19.1 million in proceeds received from sales of common stock under the ATM Program, net of commissions and offering expenses paid during the period, and was partially offset by $15.2 million of royalties paid, net of interest, under our royalty monetization liabilities.
For the threesix months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2025, our net cash usedprovided inby financing activities primarily consisted of $5.6$144.5 million in proceeds received from the issuance of the 2025 Royalty Bond and warrants to HCR in May 2025, net of discounts and transaction costs paid during the period, and was partially offset by $10.9 million of royalties paid, net of interest, under our royalty monetization liabilities.
We have incurred cumulative losses since our inception and had an accumulated deficit of $1.22$1.19 billion as of MarchJune 31,30, 2026. Our transition to recurring profitability is dependent upon achieving a level of revenues adequate to support our cost structure, which depends heavily on the successful development, approval and commercialization of our product candidates. We do not expect to achieve such revenues, and expect to continue to incur losses, for at least the next several years. We expect to continue to incur significant research and development and general and administrative expenses for the foreseeable future as we continue the development of, and seek regulatory approval for, our product candidates. Subject to obtaining regulatory approval for our product candidates, we expect to incur significant commercialization expenses for product sales, marketing, manufacturing and distribution. Additionally, we expect to continue to incur capital expenditures associated with building out additional laboratory and manufacturing capacity to further support the development of our product candidates and potential commercialization efforts. As a result, we will need significant additional capital to fund our operations, which we may obtain through one or more equity offerings, debt financings or other third-party funding, including potential strategic alliances and licensing or collaboration arrangements.
