We may use and integrate artificial intelligence into our business processes, and this innovation presents risks and challenges that could affect its adoption and, therefore, our business. The use of certain artificial intelligence technology can give rise to intellectual property risks, including compromises to proprietary intellectual property and intellectual property infringement. Additionally, we expect to see increasing government and supranational regulation related to artificial intelligence use and ethics, which may also significantly increase the burden and cost of research, development, and compliance in this area. For example, the EU’s Artificial Intelligence Act, or the EU AI Act, — the world’s first comprehensivesee in full comparisonAIartificial intelligence law — entered into force in June 2024 and, with some exceptions,becomebecomes effective 24 months thereafter. This legislation imposes significant obligations on providers and deployers of high risk artificial intelligence systems, and encourages providers and deployers of artificial intelligence systems to account for EU ethical principles in their development and use of these systems. Likewise, in the U.S., the regulatory environment is complex and uncertain. President Trump's Executive Order "Ensuring a National Policy Framework for Artificial Intelligence," effective December 11, 2025, tasks the U.S. Department of Justice with reviewing state laws regulating artificial intelligence, and instructs the Department of Commerce to develop a national artificial intelligence strategy. At the same time, several states, including Colorado and California, passed laws that regulate various facets of artificial intelligence, some of which have taken effect and will continue to take effect through 2026 and beyond. These laws address a wide range of artificial intelligence-related topics, including consequential decisions, transparency, training data, among others, and it remains unclear which requirements, if any, will be superseded by the Executive Order. In addition, there continues to be uncertainty regarding the application of existing federal and state legal frameworks to uses and development of artificial intelligence, and legal norms and market standards regarding artificial intelligence continue to evolve. For example, various federal and state regulators have issued guidance and focused enforcement efforts on the use of AI in regulated sectors. The FDA, for example, issued guidance on the use of artificial intelligence in medical devices, requiring detailed risk management and review processes to obtain approvals. In the future, if we develop or useAIartificial intelligence systems that are governed by the EU AIAct,Act or any other artificial intelligence legislation in effect, it may necessitate ensuring higher standards of data quality, transparency, and human oversight, as well as adhering to specific and potentially burdensome and costly ethical, accountability, and administrative requirements.Our vendorsWe mayinalsoturnbeincorporatesubjectartificialtointelligencesignificanttools into their offerings, and the providers of these artificial intelligence tools may not meet existingenforcement orrapidly evolving regulatory or industry standards, including with respect to privacy and data security.

We have not yet demonstrated our ability to successfully complete any large-scale, pivotal clinical trials, obtain regulatory approvals, manufacture a commercial scale product, or arrange for a third party to do so on our behalf, or conduct sales and marketing activities necessary for successful commercialization. Our lead product candidate is in clinical development. We may not be able to file investigational new drug applications, or INDs, for any of our otherpreclinical product candidates on the timelines we expect, if at all. For example, we may experience manufacturing delays or delays with IND-enabling studies. Moreover, we cannot be sure that once we have submitted an IND, the FDA will allow further clinical trials to begin, or that, once begun, issues will not arise that require us to suspend or terminate clinical trials. The FDA or other regulatory authorities may impose a clinical hold before or after a trial begins for a number of reasons outlined in FDA regulations, including if the FDA believes the study drug raises a significant risk of illness or injury. If the FDA imposes a clinical hold, trials may not commence or recommence without FDA authorization and then only under terms authorized by the FDA. Accordingly, the submission of an IND does not mean the FDA will allow clinical trials to begin and, if and when clinical trials do commence under an active IND, issues may arise that require suspension or termination of such trials. Further, commencing each of these clinical trials is subject to finalizing the trial design based on discussions with the FDA and other regulatory authorities. Any guidance we receive from the FDA or other regulatory authorities is subject to change. Regulatory authorities could change their position, including, on the acceptability of our trial designs or the clinical endpoints selected, which may require us to complete additional clinical trials or impose stricter approval conditions than we currently expect. Successful completion of our clinical trials is a prerequisite to submitting a new drug application, or NDA, to the FDA and a Marketing Authorization Application, or MAA, to the EMA for each product candidate and, consequently, the ultimate approval and commercial marketing of each product candidate. While we have an ongoing first-in-humanactive clinical trialtrials for our lead product candidate, we do not know whether any of our current clinical trials will be completed on schedule, if at all, or whether any of our future clinical trials will begin on time or be completed on schedule, if at all.
we may not be able to adequately project the timing and quantity of our product candidates or any other materials necessary to conduct clinical trials of our product candidates;
we may not be able to adequately project the timingsupply andor quantityquality of our product candidatescandidates, other therapies used in our clinical trials or any other materials necessary to conduct clinical trials of our product candidates or the supply or quality of these materials may be insufficient or inadequate or not available in a reasonable timeframe, and any transfer of manufacturing activities may require unforeseen manufacturing or formulation changes; and our product candidates may have undesirable side effects or other unexpected characteristics, causing us or our investigators, regulators or IRBs or ethics committees to suspend or terminate the clinical trials, or reports may arise from nonclinical studies or clinical testing of other therapies that raise safety or efficacy concerns about our product candidates.
the severity or rarity of the disease under investigation;
As is the case with many treatments for cancer and rare diseases, it is likely that there may be side effects associated with the use of our product candidates. If significant adverse events or other side effects are observed in any of our current or future clinical trials, we may have difficulty recruiting patients to our clinical trials, patients may drop out of our clinical trials, or we may be required to abandon the clinical trials or our development efforts of one or more product candidates altogether. We, the FDA or other applicable regulatory authorities, or an IRB may suspend or terminate clinical trials of a product candidate at any time for various reasons, including a belief that subjects in such trials are being exposed to unacceptable health risks or adverse side effects. If used in combination with other therapies in the future, our product candidates could exacerbate adverse events associated with thethose therapy,therapies, as well as result in adverse events from drug-drug interaction. Some potential therapeutics developed in the biotechnology industry that initially showed therapeutic promise in early-stage clinical trials have later been found to cause side effects that prevented their further development. Even if the side effects do not preclude the product from obtaining or maintaining marketing approval, undesirable side effects may inhibit market acceptance of the approved product due to its tolerability versus other therapies. Any of these developments could materially harm our business, financial condition and prospects.
InOur Juneearly-stage 2024, we announced threediscovery programs focused on vascular malformations, Fabry disease, and NRAS, but these programs are in preclinical development andprograms may not reach clinical development on the timelines we expect or ever. Because we have limited financial and human resources, we intend to initially focus on research programs and product candidates for a limited set of indications. As a result, we may forgo or delay pursuit of opportunities with other product candidates or for other indications that later prove to have greater commercial potential or a greater likelihood of success. Our resource allocation decisions may cause us to fail to capitalize on viable commercial products or profitable market opportunities.
We intend to develop RLY-2608zovegalisib and may develop our other current product candidates and future product candidates, for use in combination with one or more currently approved cancer or other therapies. Even if any product candidate we develop was to receive marketing approval or be commercialized for use in combination with other existing therapies, we would continue to bear the risks that the FDA or similar regulatory authorities could revoke approval of the therapy used in combination with our product candidates or that safety, efficacy, manufacturing or supply issues could arise with these existing therapies. Combination therapies are commonly used for the treatment of cancer, and we would be subject to similar risks if we develop any of our product candidates for use in combination with other drugs or for indications other than cancer. This could result in our own products being removed from the market or being less successful commercially.
We are also evaluating RLY-2608zovegalisib and may in the future evaluate other current product candidates or any future product candidates in combination with one or more cancer or other therapies that have not yet been approved for marketing by the FDA or similar regulatory authorities. For example, in June 2024, we entered into a clinical trial collaboration with Pfizer to evaluate atirmociclib, Pfizer’s investigative selective-CDK4 inhibitor, in combination with RLY-2608zovegalisib and fulvestrant in patients with PI3Kα-mutated, HR+, HER2- metastatic breast cancer.cancer and are evaluating this combination in our ReDiscover Trial. We will not be able to market and sell any of our product candidates we develop in combination with any such unapproved therapies that do not ultimately obtain marketing approval. In addition, unapproved therapies face the same risks described with respect to our product candidates currently in development and clinical trials, including the potential for serious adverse effects, supply and/or manufacturing issues, delay in their clinical trials, and lack of FDA approval.
We have conducted or are conducting, or have filed clinical trial applications to conduct, additional clinical trials outside the United States, including Australia, the United Kingdom, EuropeEurope, South America and Asia and may conduct, or file clinical trial applications to conduct, additional clinical trials in other foreign jurisdictions in the future. The acceptance of trial data from clinical trials conducted outside the United States by the FDA may be subject to certain conditions. In cases where data from clinical trials conducted outside the United States are intended to serve as the sole basis for marketing approval in the United States, the FDA will generally not approve the application on the basis of foreign data alone unless (i) the data are applicable to the United States population and United States medical practice; (ii) the trials were performed by clinical investigators of recognized competence and (iii) the data may be considered valid without the need for an on-site inspection by the FDA or, if the FDA considers such an inspection to be necessary, the FDA is able to validate the data through an on-site inspection or other appropriate means. Additionally, the FDA’s clinical trial requirements, including sufficient size of patient populations and statistical powering, must be met. Many foreign regulatory bodies have similar approval requirements. In addition, such foreign trials would be subject to the applicable local laws of the foreign jurisdictions where the trials are conducted. There can be no assurance that the FDA or any similar foreign regulatory authority will accept data from clinical trials conducted outside of the United States or the applicable jurisdiction. If the FDA or any similar foreign regulatory authority does not accept such data, it would result in the need for additional clinical trials, which would be costly and time-consuming and delay aspects of our business plan, and which may result in our product candidates not receiving approval or clearance for commercialization in the applicable jurisdiction.
The process of obtaining regulatory approvals, both in the United States and abroad, is expensive and often takes many years. If the FDA or a similar foreign regulatory authority requires that we perform additional nonclinical studies or clinical trials, approval, if obtained at all, may be delayed. The length of such a delay varies substantially based upon a variety of factors, including the type, complexity and novelty of the product candidates involved. Changes in marketing approval policies during the development period, changes in or the enactment of additional statutes or regulations, or changes in regulatory review for each submitted NDA, a 510(k) or other premarket approval application, or PMA, or equivalent application types, may cause delays in the approval or rejection of an application. The FDA and similar authorities in other countries have substantial discretion in the approval process and may refuse to accept any application or may decide that our data are insufficient for approval and require additional nonclinical, clinical or other studies. It is also unclear how FDA marketing approval policies along with FDA interpretations of law or regulatory discretion could change as a result of the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to overturn prior established case law giving deference to agency decisions and interpretations. Our product candidates could be delayed in receiving, or fail to receive, regulatory approval for many reasons, including the following:
The total addressable market opportunity will ultimately depend upon, among other things, the diagnosis criteria included in the final label, and, if our product candidates are approved for sale for these indications, acceptance by the medical community and patient access, product pricing and reimbursement. The number of patients with cancers and solid tumors or other applicable diseases may turn out to be lower than expected, patients may not be otherwise amenable to treatment with our products, or new patients may become increasingly difficult to identify or gain access to, all of which would adversely affect our results of operations and our business. We may not be successful in our efforts to identify additional product candidates. Due to our limited resources and access to capital, we must prioritize development of certain product candidates. For example, in early 2024, we deprioritized RLY-5836, our second chemically distinct pan-mutant PI3Kɑ inhibitor, in order to focus our resources on advancing RLY-2608 and, in December 2024, we entered into the exclusive global licensing agreement with Elevar for lirafugratinib, and in early 2025, we reduced our research-stage programs, allowing us to maintainfocus focusour resources on the remainder of our portfolio. These and other prioritization decisions may prove to be the wrong choice and may adversely affect our business.
Many of the companies that we compete against or against which we may compete in the future have significantly greater financial resources and expertise in research and development, manufacturing, preclinical testing, conducting clinical trials, obtaining regulatory approvals and marketing approved products than we do. Mergers and acquisitions in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and diagnostic industries may result in even more resources being concentrated among a smaller number of our competitors. Smaller or earlier stage companies may also prove to be significant competitors, particularly through collaborative arrangements with large and established companies. These competitors also compete with us in recruiting and retaining qualified scientificscientific, clinical and management personnel and establishing clinical trial sites and patient registration for clinical trials, as well as in acquiring technologies complementary to, or necessary for, our programs. In addition, we cannot predict whether our current competitive advantages, such as our ability to leverage our Dynamo® platform and our relationships with external collaborators,advantages will remain in place in the future. If these or other barriers to entry do not remain in place, other companies may be able to more directly or effectively compete with us.
Although we designed our first-in-human clinical trialtrials of our lead product candidate and intend to design the future clinical trials for any other product candidates that we develop, we expect that CROs will conduct all of our clinical trials. As a result, many important aspects of our development programs, including their conduct and timing, are outside of our direct control. Our reliance on third parties to conduct future clinical trials also results in less direct control over the management of data developed through clinical trials than would be the case if we were relying entirely upon our own staff. Communicating with outside parties can also be challenging, potentially leading to mistakes as well as difficulties in coordinating activities. Outside parties may:
We contract with third parties for the manufacture of our product candidates for preclinical development, clinical testing, and expect to continue to do so for commercialization. We also rely, and expect to continue to rely, on third parties for the supply of any investigational products, standard-of-care drugs and comparator agents used in our clinical trials. This reliance on third parties increases the risk that we will not have sufficient quantities of our product candidates or other therapies or products or such quantities at an acceptable cost or quality, which could delay, prevent or impair our development or commercialization efforts.
We also rely, and expect to continue to rely, on third parties for the supply of any investigational products, standard-of-care drugs or comparator agents used in our clinical trials. Any supply chain challenges may affect our ability to supply clinical sites with any investigational products, standard-of-care drugs and/or comparator agents that we use in our clinical trials and may prevent us from enrolling subjects into our clinical trials, may result in increased costs for our clinical trials, and may otherwise delay, prevent or impair our development efforts.
Under the DESRES Agreement, as amended, we collaborate with D. E. Shaw Research to develop various protein models, a process that depends on D. E. Shaw Research’s use of their proprietary supercomputer, Anton 2. Any disagreements or disputes with D.E. Shaw Research could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects.
In addition to the computational tools and capabilities we have developed internally, under the DESRES Agreement, we collaborate with D. E. Shaw Research to develop various protein models to make predictions as to how molecules might move in connection with identifying potential new biological targets and prospective drug compounds. There can be no assurance these protein models, or the technology used by D. E. Shaw Research to develop them (including the Anton 2 supercomputer), will provide reliable data or target information, or that the findings from these activities and our subsequent validation efforts will translate into the ability to develop therapeutically effective compounds. Though we have developed and primarily rely on our own robust in-house long timescale molecular dynamics and machine learning capabilities across our preclinical research pipeline, we currently actively collaborate with D. E. Shaw Research on one early preclinical program. The initial research term under the DESRES Agreement will not extend past its current end date of August 16, 2025, and there can be no assurance that at any time while the collaboration is in effect D. E. Shaw Research will provide a level of service that benefits our programs in a meaningfully positive manner. While we also have other computational collaborations, mostly focused on developing machine learning models, such collaborations do not provide a direct substitute for the technology made available through our collaboration with D. E. Shaw Research. The expiration or termination of the DESRES Agreement or any significant reduction in our collaboration with D. E. Shaw Research will require us to rely more heavily on these other collaborations and our own internal resources, and could delay or impair our preclinical research efforts, in each case with respect to the preclinical program on which we collaborate with D.E. Shaw Research.
Furthermore, while the expiration or termination of the DESRES Agreement will not directly impact the development of our lead product candidate, we cannot predict the effects such expiration or termination could have on our preclinical studies and development efforts and our ability to discover and develop additional product candidates. In particular, the technologies accessed through D. E. Shaw Research, including the Anton 2 supercomputer, are useful aspects of our Dynamo® platform, and we do not currently have access to another source of computational power comparable to that provided by the Anton 2 supercomputer. Currently, not only is our collaboration with D. E. Shaw Research for a limited time period, but it is also limited with respect to the number of target proteins available under the collaboration (with such number subject to increases or decreases from year to year, and with the number of total targets across categories capped at twenty, subject to some limitations), which could restrict our ability to broaden our platform across a larger number of targets and programs.
Under the DESRES Agreement, D. E. Shaw Research controls the rights to its technology, we control the rights to certain compounds, and we jointly own with D. E. Shaw Research any other work product created by D. E. Shaw Research and us. Any work product we jointly own with D. E. Shaw Research and any other information that we or D. E. Shaw Research share is subject to a non-exclusive cross-license between us and D. E. Shaw Research, subject to certain exceptions. In some instances, D. E. Shaw Research is required to assign to us some of the work product created by D. E. Shaw Research. Disputes may arise between us and D. E. Shaw Research, as well as any future potential licensees or collaborators, regarding intellectual property subject to the DESRES Agreement. If disputes over intellectual property that we co-own or we own individually prevent or impair our ability to maintain our current licenses or collaboration arrangements on acceptable terms, or undermine our ability to successfully control the intellectual property necessary to protect our product candidates, we may be unable to successfully develop and commercialize the affected product candidates. Uncertainties or disagreements around our rights under any such intellectual property may undermine our ability to partner our programs with third parties.
In addition, the DESRES Agreement is complex and certain provisions may be susceptible to multiple interpretations. The resolution of any contract interpretation disagreement that may arise could be adverse to us, for example, by narrowing what we believe to be the scope of our rights to certain intellectual property, or increasing what we believe to be our financial or other obligations under the DESRES Agreement, and any such outcome could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects.
We are generally also subject to all of the same risks with respect to protection of intellectual property that we co-own, as we are for intellectual property that we own. See " – Risks Related to Our Intellectual Property – Risks Related to Protecting our Intellectual Property." If we or D. E. Shaw Research fail to adequately protect this intellectual property, our ability to commercialize products could suffer.
Moreover, we are subject to certain payment obligations under the DESRES Agreement, including payments to D. E. Shaw Research in connection with certain transactions. These payment obligations may decrease the value to us of certain transactional opportunities or otherwise burden our ability to enter into such transactions.
We may be required to pay certain milestones andmilestones, royalties or other payments under our license or collaboration agreements with third-party licensors or collaborators, which may adversely affect the overall profitability of any products that we may seek to commercialize.commercialize or adversely impact the value of other transactional opportunities.
Under our current and future license or collaboration agreements, including our DESRES Agreement, we may be required to pay milestones, royalties and other payments based on our revenues, including revenues from product sales, and these milestones and royalty payments could adversely affect the overall profitability of any products that we may seek to commercialize.

In order to maintain our rights under our current or future license agreements, we may need to meet certain specified milestones in the development of our product candidates. Further, our licensors (or their licensors), licensees or other strategic collaborators may dispute the terms, including amounts, that we are required to pay under the respective license or collaboration agreements. If these claims result in a material increase in the amounts that we are required to pay to our licensors or collaborators, or in the event of a claim of breach of the license, our ability to research, develop and obtain approval of product candidates or to commercialize our products could be significantly impaired.
Substantially all of our operating losses have resulted from costs incurred in connection with our research and development programs and from general and administrative costs associated with our operations. We expect to continue to incur significant research and development expenses in connection with the commencement and continuation of clinical trials of our product candidates. In addition, if we obtain marketing approval for our product candidates, we will incur significant sales, marketing, and outsourced-manufacturing expenses. We will also continue to incur additional costs associated with operating as a public company. As a result, we expect to continue to incur significant operating losses for the foreseeable future. In the past, we have implemented internal restructurings and reorganizations designed to reduce the size and costs of our operations, improve operational efficiencies, enhance our ability to pursue market opportunities, and accelerate our development initiatives. If there are unforeseen expenses associated with such realignments in our business strategies, and we incur unanticipated charges or liabilities, we may not be able to effectively realize the expected cost savings or other benefits of such actions, which could have adverse effects on our business, operating results, and financial condition. Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with developing pharmaceutical products, we are unable to predict the extent of any future losses or when we will become profitable, if at all. Even if we do become profitable, we may not be able to sustain or increase our profitability on a quarterly or annual basis.
The amount of our future losses is uncertain and our quarterly and annual operating results may fluctuate significantly or may fall below the expectations of investors or securities analysts, each of which may cause our stock price to fluctuate or decline. Our quarterly and annual operating results may fluctuate significantly in the future due to a variety of factors, many of which are outside of our control and may be difficult to predict, including the following:
our ability to effectively realize the expected cost savings and other benefits of internal restructurings;
Public health crises such as pandemics or similar outbreaks could adversely impact our business. A public health crisis similar to the COVID-19 pandemic could adversely impact our preclinical, other nonclinical or clinical trial operations in the United States,operations, and we may experience delays in initiating, or fail to initiate, IND-enabling studies, recruiting and retaining patients, principal investigators and site staff for our clinical trials, dosing of patients in our clinical trials as well as in activating new trial sites, and protocol deviations. The negative impact of any such public health crisis on patient enrollment or treatment or the execution of our product candidates could cause costly delays to clinical trial activities, which could adversely affect our ability to obtain regulatory approval for and to commercialize our product candidates, increase our operating expenses, and have a material adverse effect on our financial results.
Significant political, trade, or regulatory developments, such as those stemming from the change in U.S. federal administration, are difficult to predict and may have a material adverse effect on us. Similarly, changes in U.S. federal policy that affect the geopolitical landscape could give rise to circumstances outside our control that could have negative impacts on our business operations. In 2017, the U.S. Congress and the Trump administration made substantial changes to U.S. policies, which included comprehensive corporate and individual tax reform. In addition, the Trump administration called for significant changes to U.S. trade, healthcare, immigration and government regulatory policy. With the transition to the Biden administration in early 2021, changes to U. S. policy occurred and sinceSince the start of the Trump Administrationadministration in 2025, U.S. policy changes have been implemented at a rapid pace and additional changes are likely. Changes to U.S. policy implemented by the U.S. Congress, the Trump administration or any new administration have impacted and may in the future impact, among other things, the U.S. and global economy, international trade relations, unemployment, immigration, healthcare, taxation, the U.S. regulatory environment, inflation and other areas. ForThe example,United States has imposed blanket 10% tariffs on Februaryvirtually 1,all imports to the U.S. and significantly higher so-called reciprocal tariffs applicable to imports from many countries. On April 9, 2025, the U.S. imposedannounced a 25%temporary tariffpause on importsits fromreciprocal Canadatariffs andapplicable Mexico,to whichmany werecountries, subsequentlywhile suspendedincreasing forthe atariffs periodapplicable of one month, and a 10% additional tariff onto imports from China. The Trump administration has threatened to continue to broadly impose tariffs and increase existing tariffs, which could lead to corresponding punitive actions by the countries with which the U.S. trades. Historically, tariffs have led to increased trade and political tensions. In response to tariffs, other countries have implemented or threatened to implement retaliatory tariffs on U.S. goods. Political tensions as a result of trade policies could reduce trade volume, investment, technological exchange and other economic activities between major international economies, resulting in a material adverse effect on global economic conditions and the stability of global financial markets. Any changes in political, trade, regulatory, and economic conditions, including U.S. trade policies, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. Until we know what policy changes are made, whether those policy changes are challenged and subsequently upheld by the court system and how those changes impact our business and the business of our competitors over the long term, we will not know if, overall, we will benefit from them or be negatively affected by them.
Our commercial success will depend in part on our ability to obtain and maintain proprietary or intellectual property protection in the United States and other countries for our product candidates, and our core technologies, including our novel target discovery technology and our proprietary compound library and other know-how. We seek to protect our proprietary and intellectual property position by, among other methods, filing patent applications in the United States and abroad related to our proprietary technology, inventions and improvements that are important to the development and implementation of our business. We also rely on trade secrets, know-how and continuing technological innovation to develop and maintain our proprietary and intellectual property position. Other than our JapaneseEurasian, Japanese, Korean, Chilean and U.S. patents relating to RLY-2608zovegalisib and our U.S., Eurasian, European, Taiwanese, JapaneseU.S. and Hong Kongforeign patents relating to lirafugratinib (RLY-4008),lirafugratinib, we do not own or in-license any issued patents relating to our platform or our product candidates under clinical development.
Most of theThe research and development for certain of our programs has beenwas performed during the initial research term under the DESRES Agreement. Under the DESRES Agreement, D. E. Shaw Research controls the rights to its technology (including its supercomputer and software, each of which are important aspects of our Dynamo® platform), we control the rights to certain compounds, and we jointly own with D. E. Shaw Research any other work product created by D. E. Shaw Research and us. Subject to certain limits, we have the right to have the following work product assigned to us: the composition of matter, method of use, and method of manufacture of certain compounds directed to a Category 1 Target, as set forth in the DESRES Agreement.
We have not yet designated all of the compounds for which we will have this right of assignment, and thus, we do not yet know the scope of exclusivity we will enjoy under our patent rights for our product candidates.
To date, some of the work product created under our agreement with D. E. Shaw Research has been created by D. E. Shaw Research and us, together, and is thus initially co-owned. We have subsequently obtained sole ownership of certain intellectual property relating specifically to some of our clinical candidates. By virtue of inventorship, we initially jointly ownowned intellectual property rights pertaining to RLY-2608,zovegalisib, but retainhave thesubsequently option to obtainobtained sole ownership of intellectual property rights relating to it and certain other PIK3CA inhibitors. Patent applications claiming a genus of PIK3CA inhibitor compounds remain jointly owned PIK3CAwith inhibitors.D. E. Shaw Research. We have the first right to prepare, file, prosecute, maintain and defend patents that cover work product jointly created by D. E. Shaw Research and us. If we choose not to exercise those rights with respect to patents and patent applications that cover joint work product, D. E. Shaw Research will have the right to take over such activities, unless such rights are waived. The party that is preparing, filing, prosecuting and maintaining a patent that covers joint work product also has the right to enforce such patent against infringers. If we or D. E. Shaw Research fail to adequately protect any co-owned intellectual property, our ability to commercialize products could suffer.
In addition, the patent prosecution process is expensive and time-consuming, and we may not be able to file and prosecute all necessary or desirable patent applications at a reasonable cost or in a timely manner. Further, with respect to most of the pending patent applications covering our product candidates, prosecution has yet to commence. Patent prosecution is a lengthy process, during which the scope of the claims initially submitted for examination by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, or USPTO, have been significantly narrowed by the time they issue, if at all. It is also possible that we will fail to identify patentable aspects of our research and development output before it is too late to obtain patent protection. Moreover, in some circumstances, we do not have the right to control the preparation, filing and prosecution of patent applications, or to maintain the patents, covering technology that we license to or from third parties. Therefore, these patents and applications may not be prosecuted and enforced in a manner consistent with the best interests of our business.
In addition, we may in the future be subject to claims by our former employeesemployees, collaborators, vendors, partners, or consultants asserting an ownership right in our patents or patent applications, as a result of the work they performed on our behalf. Although we generally require all of our employees, consultants and advisors and any other third parties who have access to our proprietary know-how, information or technology to assign or grant similar rights to their inventions to us, we cannot be certain that we have executed such agreements with all parties who may have contributed to our intellectual property, nor can we be certain that our agreements with such parties will be upheld in the face of a potential challenge, or that they will not be breached, for which we may not have an adequate remedy. With respect to intellectual property arising in the course of our collaboration with D. E. Shaw Research, disagreements between us and D. E. Shaw Research may impact our exclusive control of intellectual property important for protecting our product candidates and proprietary position. A loss of exclusivity, in whole or in part, could allow others to compete with us and harm our business.
The USPTO and various foreign governmental patent agencies require compliance with a number of procedural, documentary, fee payment and other similar provisions during the patent application process. In addition, periodic maintenance fees on issued patents often must be paid to the USPTO and foreign patent agencies over the lifetime of the patent. While an unintentional lapse can in many cases be cured by payment of a late fee or by other means in accordance with the applicable rules, there are situations in which noncompliance can result in abandonment or lapse of the patent or patent application, resulting in partial or complete loss of patent rights in the relevant jurisdiction. Non-compliance events that could result in abandonment or lapse of a patent or patent application include, but are not limited to, failure to respond to official actions within prescribed time limits, non-payment of fees and failure to properly legalize and submit formal documents. If we fail to maintain the patents and patent applications covering our products or procedures, we may not be able to stop a competitor from marketing products that are the same as or similar to our product candidates, which would have a material adverse effect on our business.
If we fail to maintain the patents and patent applications covering our products or procedures, we may not be able to stop a competitor from marketing products that are the same as or similar to our product candidates, which would have a material adverse effect on our business.
These and similar issues may arise with respect to our collaboration agreements, such as our DESRES Agreement, as amended. While we primarily rely on our own internal computational capabilities, we currently actively collaborate with D. E. Shaw Research on one preclinical research program, and the initial research term has ended under the DESRES AgreementAgreement, will not extend past its current end date. Therethere can be no assurance that ata anydispute time while the collaboration is in effect D. E. Shaw Research will provide any particular level of services or thatbetween the parties will operatenot under the agreement without disputes.arise. These disputes may involve ownership or control of intellectual property rights, exclusivity obligations, diligence and payment obligations, for example.
The DESRES Agreement imposes certain exclusivity obligations on us during the term of the agreement with respect to Category 2 targets, and certain exclusivity obligations on D. E. Shaw Research during and after the term of the agreement. While we have some degree of control over how we designate various targets under the DESRES Agreement, D. E. Shaw Research has some degree of control over such designations as well, and our exclusivity obligations limit or delay our ability to conduct research on selected targets with third parties.
Data collection in Europe is governed by restrictive regulations governing the processing and cross-border transfer of personal information and we may be subject to various federal, state-specific and international privacy laws. Failure to comply with such requirements in jurisdictions or states where we may conduct clinical trials or enroll subjects in our ongoing or future clinical trials could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
In the eventAs we decide to conduct clinical trials or continue to enroll subjects in our ongoing or future clinical trials, we may be subject to additional data collection and processing restrictions. Privacy and data security have become significant issues in the U.S., Europe and in many other jurisdictions where we conduct or may in the future conduct our operations. The regulatory framework for the collection, use, safeguarding, sharing and transfer of information worldwide is rapidly evolving and is likely to remain uncertain for the foreseeable future. For example, the collection, use, storage, disclosure, transfer, or other processing of personal data of individuals in the EEA, including personal health data, is subject to the GDPR. The GDPR is wide-ranging in scope and imposes numerous requirements on companies that process personal data, including requirements relating to having a legal basis for processing personal data, stricter requirements relating to the processing of sensitive data (such as health data), where required by GDPR, obtaining consent of the individuals to whom personal data relates, providing notice to the individuals to whom the personal data relates regarding data processing activities, implementing safeguards to protect the privacy and security of personal data, implementing processes to handle requests from individuals to exercise their data protection rights, maintaining records of our processing activities and to document data protection impact assessments where there is high risk processing, providing notification of data breaches in certain circumstances, and taking certain measures when engaging third-party processors or sub-processors. The GDPR focuses on accountability of controllers (such as us) and requires us to put in place all technical and organizational measures (privacy by design and by default) to ensure that we meet our obligations. Penalties under the GDPR include fines of up to €10,000,000 or up to 2% of our total worldwide annual turnoverrevenue for certain comparatively minor offenses, or up to €20,000,000 or up to 4% of our total worldwide annual turnoverrevenue for more serious offenses. EEA Member States have adopted implementing national laws to implement the GDPR which may partially deviate from the GDPR, and the competent authorities in the EEA Member States may interpret GDPR obligations slightly differently from country to country, so we do not expect to operate in a uniform legal landscape in the EU.
The GDPR imposes strict rules on the transfer of personal data out of the EEA and UK to the U.S. or other regions that have not been deemed to offer "adequate" privacy protections. On June 4, 2021, the EC issued new forms of standard contractual clauses, or SCCs, for data transfers from controllers or processors in the EEA (or otherwise subject to the EU GDPR) to controllers or processors established outside the EEA (and not subject to the EU GDPR). The new SCCs replace the SCCs that were adopted previously under the Data Protection Directive. The UK is not subject to the EC’s new SCCs but has published its own standard clauses, the International Data Transfer Agreement, which enables transfers from the UK. We will be required to implementcontinue implementing these new safeguards in the event we use these safeguards are used as our basis for conducting restricted data transfers under the EU GDPR and UK GDPR and doing so may require significant effort and cost. If relying on the SCCs or UK IDTA for data transfers, we may also be required to carry out transfer impact assessments to assess whether the recipient is subject to local laws which allow public authority access to personal data.
IfIn weconnection decidewith to conduct clinical trials or enroll subjects in our ongoing or futureany clinical trials in Europe, we are subject to the supervision of local data protection authorities in those jurisdictions where we are monitoring the behavior of individuals in the EEA or UK (i.e., undertaking clinical trials). If we are investigated by an EEA or UK data protection authority, we may face fines and other penalties. Any such investigation or charges by EU or UK data protection authorities could have a negative effect on our business and on our ability to commercialize our products in the future, including with EU, UK-based or multi-national pharmaceutical partners.
Further, regulators and legislators in the U.S. are increasingly scrutinizing and restricting certain personal data transfers and transactions involving foreign countries. For example, Executive Order 14117, Preventing Access to Americans’ Bulk Sensitive Personal Data and United States Government-Related Data by Countries of Concern, as implemented by Department of Justice regulations issued in December 2024, prohibits data brokerage transactions involving certain sensitive personal data categories, including health data, genetic data, and biospecimens, to countries of concern, including China. The regulations also restrict certain investment agreements, employment agreements and vendor agreements involving such data and countries of concern, absent specified cybersecurity controls. Actual or alleged violations of these regulations may be punishable by criminal and/or civil sanctions and may result in exclusion from participation in federal and state programs.
In addition to Europeancross-border data protection requirements, we may be subject to various privacy laws in the United States at the state and federal level. In the United States, at the state level, for example, California Consumer Privacy Act, or CCPA, imposed a comprehensive privacy framework for covered businesses, which included an expanded definition of personal information, data privacy rights for consumers in the State of California, special rules on the collection of consumer data from minors, and provided substantial fines for non-compliance and, in some cases, a private right of action to consumers who are victims of data breaches involving their unredacted or unencrypted personal information. In addition, the California Privacy Rights Act, or CPRA, came into effect on January 1, 2023 and has expanded the privacy protections of the CCPA to also apply to personal information collected in a business to business capacity and from employment applicants, employees and former employees. The CPRA significantly modified the CCPA, including by expanding consumers’ rights with respect to certain sensitive personal information. The effects of the CCPA are potentially significant and may require us to modify our data collection or processing practices and policies and to incur substantial costs and expenses in an effort to comply and increase our potential exposure to regulatory enforcement and/or litigation. Furthermore, a number of other states have either proposed or enacted comprehensive consumer privacy laws similar to the CCPA, many of which vary in complexity and may be interpreted and enforced differently, thus potentially complicating our compliance efforts. In Washington, for example, the My Health My Data Act, or MHMDA, entered into force on March 31, 2024, and includes a broad private right of action. Seventeen other states passed privacy legislation, which will come into force over the next several years. While these laws generally have exceptions for protected health information that is subject to HIPAA and for information collected in the context of clinical trials, they may nevertheless impact our business activities.
There are also states that are specifically regulating health information or other specific types of information. For example, Connecticut and Nevada have passed similar laws regulating consumer health data. In addition, other states have proposed and/or passed legislation that regulates the privacy and/or security of certain specific types of information. For example, a small number of statesstates, such as Illinois and Texas, have passed laws that regulate biometric data specifically. These various privacy and security laws may impact our business activities, including our identification of research subjects, relationships with business partners and ultimately the marketing and distribution of our product candidates, if approved. State laws are changing rapidly and there is discussion in the U.S. Congress of a new comprehensive federal data privacy law to which we may likely become subject, if enacted.
All of these evolving compliance and operational requirements may impose significant costs, such as costs related to organizational changes, implementing additional data protection measures and technologies, training employees, and engaging consultants and legal advisors, which arecosts may be likely to increase over time. In addition, such requirements may require us to modify our data processing practices and policies, utilize management’s time, and/or divert resources from other initiatives and projects. The increasing number and complexity of regional, country, and U.S. state data protection laws, and other changes in laws or regulations across the globe, especially those associated with the enhanced protection of certain types of sensitive data, such as healthcare data or other personal information from our clinical trials, could lead to litigation or government investigations or enforcement actions and significant penalties against us and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.
We may use and integrate artificial intelligence into our business processes, and this innovation presents risks and challenges that could affect its adoption and, therefore, our business. The use of certain artificial intelligence technology can give rise to intellectual property risks, including compromises to proprietary intellectual property and intellectual property infringement. Additionally, we expect to see increasing government and supranational regulation related to artificial intelligence use and ethics, which may also significantly increase the burden and cost of research, development, and compliance in this area. For example, the EU’s Artificial Intelligence Act, or the EU AI Act, — the world’s first comprehensive AIartificial intelligence law — entered into force in June 2024 and, with some exceptions, becomebecomes effective 24 months thereafter. This legislation imposes significant obligations on providers and deployers of high risk artificial intelligence systems, and encourages providers and deployers of artificial intelligence systems to account for EU ethical principles in their development and use of these systems. Likewise, in the U.S., the regulatory environment is complex and uncertain. President Trump's Executive Order "Ensuring a National Policy Framework for Artificial Intelligence," effective December 11, 2025, tasks the U.S. Department of Justice with reviewing state laws regulating artificial intelligence, and instructs the Department of Commerce to develop a national artificial intelligence strategy. At the same time, several states, including Colorado and California, passed laws that regulate various facets of artificial intelligence, some of which have taken effect and will continue to take effect through 2026 and beyond. These laws address a wide range of artificial intelligence-related topics, including consequential decisions, transparency, training data, among others, and it remains unclear which requirements, if any, will be superseded by the Executive Order. In addition, there continues to be uncertainty regarding the application of existing federal and state legal frameworks to uses and development of artificial intelligence, and legal norms and market standards regarding artificial intelligence continue to evolve. For example, various federal and state regulators have issued guidance and focused enforcement efforts on the use of AI in regulated sectors. The FDA, for example, issued guidance on the use of artificial intelligence in medical devices, requiring detailed risk management and review processes to obtain approvals. In the future, if we develop or use AIartificial intelligence systems that are governed by the EU AI Act,Act or any other artificial intelligence legislation in effect, it may necessitate ensuring higher standards of data quality, transparency, and human oversight, as well as adhering to specific and potentially burdensome and costly ethical, accountability, and administrative requirements. Our vendorsWe may inalso turnbe incorporatesubject artificialto intelligencesignificant tools into their offerings, and the providers of these artificial intelligence tools may not meet existingenforcement or rapidly evolving regulatory or industry standards, including with respect to privacy and data security.

In connection with the clinical development of our product candidates for certain indications, we have previously engaged and may in the future engage third parties to develop or obtain access to in vitro companion diagnostic tests to identify patient subsets within a disease category who may derive selective and meaningful benefit from our product candidates. The FDA has indicated that if we continue RLY-2608zovegalisib in a specific biomarker-defined population, a companion diagnostic device will be required to ensure its safe and effective use. Such companion diagnostics would be used during our clinical trials as well as in connection with the commercialization of our product candidates. To be successful, we or our collaborators will need to address a number of scientific, technical, regulatory and logistical challenges. The FDA and similar foreign regulatory authorities regulate in vitro companion diagnostics as medical devices and, under that regulatory framework, will likely require the conduct of clinical trials to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of any diagnostics we may develop, which we expect will require separate regulatory clearance or approval prior to commercialization.
Although we do not currently have any products on the market, onceif we begin commercializing our product candidates, we will be subject to additional healthcare statutory and regulatory requirements and enforcement by the federal government and the states and governments of foreign jurisdictions in which we conduct our business. Healthcare providers, physicians and third-party payors play a primary role in the recommendation and prescription of any product candidates for which we obtain marketing approval. Our future arrangements with third-party payors and customers may expose us to broadly applicable fraud and abuse and other healthcare laws and regulations that may constrain the business or financial arrangements and relationships through which we market, sell and distribute our product candidates for which we obtain marketing approval. See "Business – Government Regulation – Other Healthcare Laws."
Generally, if a drug with an orphan drug designation subsequently receives the first marketing approval for the indication for which it has such designation, the drug is entitled to a period of marketing exclusivity, which precludes the FDA or the EMA from approving another marketing application for the same drug and approved use or indication for that time period, except in limited circumstances. The applicable period is seven years in the United States and ten years in the EU. The EU exclusivity period can be reduced to six years if, at the end of the fifth year, it is established that a product no longer meets the criteria for orphan designation, including if the product is sufficiently profitable so that market exclusivity is no longer justified. The European Commission introduced a legislative proposal in April 2023 that, if implemented, could reduce the current ten-year marketing exclusivity period in the EU for certain orphan medicines.
Even if we obtain orphan drug exclusivity for a drug, that exclusivity may not effectively protect the drug from competition because different drugs can be approved for the same condition.approved use or indication. Even after an orphan drug is approved, the FDA can subsequently approve a later drug for the same conditionapproved use or indication if the FDA concludes that the later drug is clinically superior in that it is shown to be safer, more effective or makes a major contribution to patient care. In addition, a designated orphan drug may not receive orphan drug exclusivity if it is approved for a use that is broader than the indication for which it received orphan drug designation. Moreover, orphan drug exclusive marketing rights in the United States may be lost if the FDA later determines that the request for designation was materially defective or if the manufacturer is unable to assure sufficient quantity of the drug to meet the needs of patients with the rare disease or condition or if another drug with the same active moiety is determined to be safer, more effective, or represents a major contribution to patient care. Orphan drug designation neither shortens the development time or regulatory review time of a drug nor gives the drug any advantage in the regulatory review or approval process. While we may seek orphan drug designation for certain of our product candidates, we may never receive such designations. Even if we do receive such designations, there is no guarantee that we will enjoy the benefits of those designations. In addition, the FDA may further reevaluate the Orphan Drug Act and its regulations and policies. We do not know if, when, or how the FDA may change the orphan drug regulations and policies in the future, and it is uncertain how any changes might affect our business. Depending on what changes the FDA may make to its orphan drug regulations and policies, our business could be adversely impacted.
In February 2026, we announced that the FDA granted breakthrough therapy designation to zovegalisib in combination with fulvestrant for the treatment of adults with PIK3CA mutant HR+/HER2- locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer following recurrence or progression on or after treatment with a CDK4/6 inhibitor. We may also seek a breakthrough therapy designation for some of our other product candidates. A breakthrough therapy is defined as a drug that is intended, alone or in combination with one or more other drugs, to treat a serious or life-threatening disease or condition, and preliminary clinical evidence indicates that the drug may demonstrate substantial improvement over existing therapies on one or more clinically significant endpoints, such as substantial treatment effects observed early in clinical development. For drugs that have been designated as breakthrough therapies, interaction and communication between the FDA and the sponsor of the trial can help to identify the most efficient path for clinical development while minimizing the number of patients placed in ineffective control regimens. Drugs designated as breakthrough therapies by the FDA may also be eligible for priority review and accelerated approval. Designation as a breakthrough therapy is within the discretion of the FDA. Accordingly, even if we believe one of our product candidates meets the criteria for designation as a breakthrough therapy, the FDA may disagree and instead determine not to make such designation. In any event, the receipt of a breakthrough therapy designation for a product candidate may not result in a faster development process, review or approval compared to therapies considered for approval under conventional FDA procedures and does not assure ultimate approval by the FDA. In addition, even if one or more of our product candidates qualify as breakthrough therapies, the FDA may later decide that such product candidates no longer meet the conditions for qualification or decide that the time period for FDA review or approval will not be shortened.
We may seek approval of one or more of our product candidates into real-time oncology review, or RTOR. This program may not lead to a faster regulatory review or approval process and does not increase the likelihood that our product candidate(s) will receive marketing approval.
Participation in RTOR is voluntary. Our acceptance into RTOR does not guarantee or influence approval of our application, which is subject to the same statutory and regulatory requirements for approval as applications that are not included in RTOR. Although early approvals have occurred with applications selected for RTOR, this may not be the case for our application even if it is selected for RTOR. If at any time the FDA determines our participation in RTOR, if selected, is no longer appropriate, the FDA may rescind our acceptance and instruct us to follow routine submission procedures for marketing approval.
In August 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, or the IRA, was signed into law. The IRA includes several provisions that may impact our business, depending on how various aspects of the IRA are implemented. Provisions that may impact our business include a $2,000 out-of-pocket cap for Medicare Part D beneficiaries, the imposition of new manufacturer financial liability on most drugs in Medicare Part D, permitting the U.S. government to negotiate Medicare Part B and Part D pricing for certain high-cost drugs and biologics without generic or biosimilar competition, requiring companies to pay rebates to Medicare for drug prices that increase faster than inflation, and delaying until January 1, 2032 the implementation of the HHS rebate rule that would have limited the fees that pharmacy benefit managers can charge. Further, under the IRA, orphan drugs arewere previously exempted from the Medicare drug price negotiation program,program; buthowever, this exemption was restricted to drugs with only if they have one orphan designation and for which the only approved indication is for that disease or condition. If a product receivesreceived multiple orphan designations or hashad multiple approved indications, it maywould not qualify for the orphan drug exemption. Under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act of 2025, this restriction was eliminated; and effective for the 2028 initial price applicability year, all orphan drugs, regardless of the number of orphan drug designations or indications, are exempt from the Medicare drug price negotiation program. The implementation of the IRA is currently subject to ongoing litigation challenging the constitutionality of the IRA’s Medicare drug price negotiation program. Although the effects of the IRA on our business and the healthcare industry in general are not yet known, we are taking into consideration the potential impact of the IRA on our development and commercialization activities.
On April 15, 2025, the Trump administration published Executive Order 14273, “Lowering Drug Prices by Once Again Putting Americans First,” which generally directs the federal government to take measures to reduce drug prices, including eliminating the so-called “pill penalty” under the IRA that creates a distinction between small molecule and large molecule products for purposes of determining when a drug may be eligible for drug price negotiation. On May 12, 2025, the Trump administration published Executive Order 14297, “Delivering Most-Favored-Nation Prescription Drug Pricing to American Patients” which generally, among other things, directs the federal government to establish and communicate most-favored-nation price targets to pharmaceutical manufacturers to bring prices for American patients in line with comparably developed nations. Further, the Executive Order directs the federal government to support regulatory paths to allow direct-to-patient sales for companies that meet these targets. It also states that the Trump administration will take additional aggressive action (for example, examining whether marketing approvals should be modified or rescinded or opening the door for individual drug importation waivers) should manufacturers fail to offer American consumers the most-favored-nation lowest price. It also directs the Secretary of Commerce and the U.S. Trade Representative to “take all necessary and appropriate action to ensure foreign countries are not engaged in any act, policy, or practice that may be unreasonable or discriminatory or that may impair United States national security . . . including by suppressing the price of pharmaceutical products below fair market value in foreign countries.” Notably, a similar Most Favored Nation, or MFN, pricing rule enacted under the first Trump administration was subject to an injunction resulting from judicial challenges to the rule, which was formally rescinded by the former Biden administration in August 2021.
On December 19, 2025, CMS released two proposed rules that would incorporate MFN pricing principles into federal reimbursement for prescription drugs. The first proposal, the Global Benchmark for Efficient Drug Pricing Model, or GLOBE for Medicare Part B, would require manufacturers of specified single source drugs and sole source biologics to pay incremental rebates based on international benchmark prices, with participation triggered for products meeting CMS’s spending and eligibility criteria. The second proposal, the Guarding U.S. Medicare Against Rising Drug Costs, or GUARD, model for Medicare Part D, would similarly mandate manufacturer rebates for qualifying sole source drugs where the Medicare net price exceeds an MFN benchmark derived from international reference pricing methodologies. As proposed, GLOBE would begin a five year performance period on October 1, 2026 and GUARD would begin its performance period in 2027. These proposals will likely be subject to legal challenges that could delay their implementation or modify their impact on manufacturer pricing and revenue. Additionally, in November 2025, CMS introduced the GENErating cost Reductions fOr U.S. Medicaid, or GENEROUS Model, a voluntary MFN framework for manufacturers participating in the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program. Although it is voluntary, the GENEROUS Model could also impact the drug pricing landscape for manufacturers.

On June 15, 2020, we entered into an Amended and Restated Collaboration and License Agreement, or DESRES Agreement, with D. E. Shaw Research, LLC, or D. E. Shaw Research, extending the term and otherwise modifying the terms of the Collaboration and License Agreement originally entered into on August 17, 2016.see in full comparisonThePursuant to the DESRESAgreement provides thatAgreement, the partieswilljointlyconductconducted research efforts with the goal of identifying and developing product candidates.OnThe initial research term under the DESRES Agreement ended on August 16, 2025, with the DESRES Agreement continuing thereafter on a target-by-target basis until all payment obligations have expired. We paid an annual collaboration fee of up to $9.9 million to D.E. Shaw Research until the end of the initial research term. Additionally, on a product-by-product basis, we have agreed to pay D. E. Shaw Research milestone payments upon the achievement of certain development and regulatory milestone events for products we develop under the DESRES Agreement that are directed to a Category 1 Target or any target that was a Category 1 Target. Such payments for achievement of development and regulatory milestones total up to $7.3 million in the aggregate for each of the first three products we develop and up to $6.3 million in the aggregate for each product we develop after the first three. In addition, we are obligated to pay D. E. Shaw Research royalty payments, as defined in the DESRES Agreement. We assessed the milestone and royalty events under the DESRES Agreement as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, concluding certain milestone payments were triggered as of December 31, 2025 and subsequently paid in January 2026 and no such payments were due as of December 31, 2024.

We are a clinical-stageclinical-stage, small molecule precision medicine company transformingdeveloping the drug discovery process by combining leading-edge computational and experimental technologies with the goal of bringingpotentially life-changing therapies tofor patients.patients Asliving wewith believe we are among the first of a new breed of biotech created at the intersection of complementary techniquescancer and technologies,genetic we aim to push the boundaries of what’s possible in drug discovery.disease. Our Dynamo® platform integrates an array of leading-edge computational and experimental approaches designed to drug protein targets that have previously been intractable or inadequately addressed. Our initial focus is on enhancing small molecule therapeutic discovery in targeted oncology and genetic disease indications.
We are advancing a pipeline of medicine candidates to address targets in precision oncology and genetic disease, including RLY-2608,zovegalisib (RLY-2608), our lead product candidate discussed below.
RLY-2608.Zovegalisib (RLY-2608). Zovegalisib is the first known allosteric, pan-mutant and isoform-selective phosphoinostide 3 kinase alpha, or PI3Kα, inhibitor in clinical development. It is the lead program in our efforts to discover and develop mutant selective inhibitors of PI3Kα.
Breast Cancer and Solid Tumors
ReDiscover Trial. In December 2021, we dosed the first patient in a first-in-human clinical trial for RLY-2608,zovegalisib, or the ReDiscover Trial. Since then, we have predominantly focused on evaluating RLY-2608zovegalisib in combination with fulvestrant for patients with HR+, HER2–, PI3Kα-mutated, locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer. InWe theare fourthalso quarter of 2023, we initiated aadvancing triplet combination armarms with RLY-2608,zovegalisib, fulvestrant and the cyclin dependent kinase 4/6, or CDK 4/6, inhibitors, or atirmociclib, the investigative selective-CDK4 inhibitor ribociclib.from Pfizer Inc., or Pfizer. In the fourthsecond quarter of 2024,2025, we initiated an additional triplet combination arm with RLY-2608, fulvestrant, and atirmociclib, Pfizer Inc.’s, or Pfizer’s, investigative selective-CDK4 inhibitor, pursuant to a clinical trial collaboration with Pfizer. We also intend to initiate aglobal Phase 3 registrational study, or the ReDiscover-2 Trial, which willis designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of RLY-2608zovegalisib plus fulvestrant in PI3Kα-mutated, HR+/HER2- advanced breast cancer patients previously treated with a CDK4/6 inhibitor. The comparator arm in the ReDsicover-2ReDiscover-2 Trial will beis capivasertib plus fulvestrant. In February 2026, we announced that the FDA granted Breakthrough Therapy designation to zovegalisib in combination with fulvestrant for the treatment of adults with PIK3CA mutant HR+/HER2- locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer following recurrence or progression on or after treatment with a CDK4/6 inhibitor.
Clinical Data. In SeptemberJune 2024,2025, we announced updated interim clinical data for RLY-2608the zovegalisib plus fulvestrant arm of the ReDiscover Trial with a data cut-off date of AugustMarch 12,26, 2024,2025, and in December 2024,2025, we announced additionalan updatedefficacy subset analysis of interim clinical data for RLY-2608zovegalisib at the San AntionioAntonio Breast Cancer Symposium 20242025 with a data cut-off date of NovemberOctober 4,15, 2024.2025. We believe that, overall,that while the clinical data from the ReDiscover Trial disclosed to date are preliminary, the data suggest differentiated interim efficacy signals in the specified patient population and support selective target engagement across doses and mutation types with an encouraging interim safety and tolerability profile.
Vascular Anomalies
ReInspire Trial. In the first quarter of 2025, we initiated the global Phase 1/2 clinical trial for zovegalisib in patients with PIK3CA-related overgrowth spectrum, or PROS, and vascular anomalies driven by PIK3CA mutations, or the ReInspire Trial. Enrollment is continuing in this clinical trial.
In addition to the programs mentioned above, we are progressing our NRAS-selective inhibitor, RLY-8161, to address NRAS-mutated solid tumors as well as our non-inhibitory chaperone for Fabry disease. We are also advancing early-stage discovery programs across both precision oncology and genetic diseases.
While our initial focus is on precision oncology, we believe our Dynamo® platform may also be broadly applied to other areas of precision medicine, such as genetic diseases. In June 2024, we announced three new programs, including two genetic disease programs to address clinically and commercially validated targets in vascular malformations and Fabry disease, respectively, and an NRAS-selective inhibitor for NRAS-mutated solid tumors. We also have four additional active discovery stage programs across both precision oncology and genetic diseases. We are focused on using the novel insights derived from our approach to transform the lives of patients suffering from debilitating and life-threatening diseases through the discovery, development, and commercialization of our therapies.
In December 2024, we and Elevar Therapeutics, Inc., or Elevar, entered into an exclusive global licensing agreement, or the Elevar Agreement, with Elevar Therapeutics, Inc., or Elevar, pursuant to which Elevar was granted global development and commercialization rights for lirafugratinib. Under the terms of the Elevar Agreement, we received $5.0 million inupon upfrontexecution, consideration and $2.7$3.4 million in conjunction with theupon transfer of active pharmaceutical ingredient and other materials.materials, and $7.0 million in milestone payments as of December 31, 2025. We are eligible to receive up to $495.0$488.0 million in regulatory and commercial milestone payments, as well as tiered royalties.
In August 2021, we entered into a sales agreement, or the 2021 Sales Agreement, with Cowen and Company, LLC, or Cowen, pursuant to which we could offer and sell shares of our common stock having aggregate gross proceeds of up to $300.0 million from time to time in "at-the-market" offerings through Cowen, as our sales agent. In August 2024, the 2021 Sales Agreement was terminated by mutual agreement between us and Cowen. Through termination of the 2021 Sales Agreement, we sold 4,915,669 shares of common stock under the 2021 Sales Agreement, from which we received $48.2 million in proceeds, which were net of $1.2 million in commissions paid to Cowen and other offering expenses.
In August 2024, we also entered into a new sales agreement, or the 2024 Sales Agreement, with TD Securities (USA) LLC, or TD Securities, pursuant to which we may offer and sell shares of our common stock having aggregate gross proceeds of up to $250.0 million from time to time in “at-the-market” offerings through TD Securities, as our sales agent. As of December 31, 2024,2025, we have not sold any shares under the 2024 Sales Agreement.
In September 2022, we completed a public offering, or the September 2022 Offering, of 11,320,755 shares of common stock at an offering price of $26.50 per share. We received proceeds of $284.7 million, which was net of $15.3 million in underwriting discounts and commissions, as well as other offering expenses.
On April 15, 2021, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, or the Merger Agreement, and, on April 22, 2021, we acquired ZebiAI Therapeutics, Inc., or ZebiAI. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, upfront consideration included payment of approximately $20.0 million in cash and issuance of 1,914,219 shares of our common stock at an aggregate fair value of $61.8 million, both transferred to ZebiAI’s former stockholders, option holders, and warrant holders, or the ZebiAI Holders, upon closing. ZebiAI Holders are also eligible to receive payments upon achievement of certain program milestones, payable in shares of our common stock, or Contingent Milestone Payments, per the terms of the Merger Agreement.
In December 2020, we entered into a global collaboration and license agreement with Genentech, Inc., a member of the Roche Group, or Genentech, for the development and commercialization of RLY-1971 (now referred to as migoprotafib, or GDC-1971), or the Genentech Agreement. Under the terms of the Genentech Agreement, we received $75.0 million in an upfront payment in 2021, as well as $45.0 million in milestone payments from Genentech as of December 31, 2024.payments. Genentech elected to terminate the Genentech Agreement without cause, effective as of January 7, 2025, or the Termination Date. As of the Termination Date, we are no longer entitled to receive any further milestones or other payments due after the Termination Date.TheDate. The parties also ceased to have any development or commercialization obligations as of the Termination Date and the licenses that we granted to Genentech pursuant to the Genentech Agreement ceased to be in effect as of the Termination Date. We will not continue development of migoprotafib.
We believe our cash, cash equivalents, and investments of $781.3$554.5 million as of December 31, 20242025 will enable us to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements into the second half of 2027.2029. We have based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could exhaust our available capital resources sooner than we expect. We will need to raise additional capital in the future to continue developing the drugs in our pipeline and to commercialize any approved drug. We may seek to obtain additional financing in the future through the issuance of our common stock, through other equity or debt financings, or through collaborations or partnerships with other companies. We may not be able to raise additional capital on terms acceptable to us, or at all, and any failure to raise capital as and when needed could compromise our ability to execute on our business plan.
To date, our revenue primarily consists of amounts related to the Genentech Agreement and Elevar Agreement.
costs related to compliance with regulatory requirements;
costsimpairment relatedof toany complianceintangible withassets regulatorycapitalized requirementsupon the acquisition of in-process research and development assets; and facility costs, depreciation, and other expenses, which include direct and allocated expenses for rent and maintenance of facilities, insurance, and other supplies.
Our lead product candidate is in clinical development. We also have several active discoveryearlier stage programs across both precision oncology and genetic diseases. Costs incurred for these programs include costs incurred to support our discovery research and translational science efforts up to the initiation of first-in-human clinical development. Platform research and other research and development activities include costs that are not specifically allocated to active product candidates, including facilities costs, depreciation expense, and other costs. Employee expenses include salary, wages, stock compensation, and other costs related to our personnel, which are not allocated to specific programs or activities.
Comparison of years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024
The following table summarizes our results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, we recognized $15.4 million of license and other revenue from the Elevar Agreement, specifically in connection with the completion of each of our performance obligations thereunder in 2025, as well as receipt of certain milestone payments.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, we recognized $10.0 million of license and other revenue from the Genentech Agreement, specifically in connection with a milestone achieved thereunder in 2024.
The following summarizes our research and development expenses for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024:
Research and development expenses were $261.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to $319.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease of $57.7 million was primarily due to the series of strategic choices to streamline the research organization throughout 2024 and 2025, as well as decreases in costs incurred on continued development of lirafugratinib after execution of the Elevar Agreement in December 2024, offset by increases in costs related to the ReDiscover-2 Trial and ReInspire Trial.
Change in fair value of our contingent consideration liability under the Merger Agreement with ZebiAI was $0 for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to a decrease of $13.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Contingent Milestone Payments and Contingent Earnout Payments were both reduced to $0. During the year ended December 31, 2025, there were no further changes to such amounts.
General and administrative expenses were $56.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to $76.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease of $19.9 million was primarily due to a decrease in stock compensation expense, as well as other employee costs, partially offset by costs to obtain the Elevar Agreement, which were expensed commensurate with the timing of revenue recognized during the year ended December 31, 2025.
Other income, net, was $26.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to $34.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease of $8.5 million was primarily a result of changes in the amounts invested between periods, as well as fluctuations in interest rates.
The following table summarizes our results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.2023:
During the year ended December 31, 2024, we recognized $10.0 million of license and other revenue from the Genentech Agreement, specifically in connection with a milestone achieved thereunder in 2024.
During the year ended December 31, 2023, we recognized $25.5 million of license and other revenue from the Genentech Agreement, specifically in connection with milestones achieved thereunder in prior years. Although the milestones were achieved in prior years, the variable consideration was previously constrained until 2023.
We recognized license and other revenue of $10.0 million and $25.5 for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The decrease of $15.5 million was primarily due to recognition of $25.0 million in variable consideration under the Genentech Agreement previously constrained during the year ended December 31, 2023. By comparison, only $10.0 million was recognized during the year ended December 31, 2024, specifically in connection with a milestone achieved under the Genentech Agreement.
ChangeThe change in fair value of our contingent consideration liability for Contingent Milestone Payments under the Merger Agreement with ZebiAI was a decrease of $13.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to a decrease of $6.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Contingent Milestone Payments and Contingent Earnout Payments were both reduced to $0.
Comparison of years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022
The following table summarizes our results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022:
We recognized license and other revenue of $25.5 million and $1.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase of $24.2 million was primarily due to recognition of $25.0 million in variable consideration previously constrained under the Genentech Agreement during the year ended December 31, 2023. By comparison, we only recognized revenue for research and development services provided under the Genentech Agreement during the year ended December 31, 2022.
The following summarizes our research and development expenses for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022:
Research and development expenses were $330.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to $246.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase of $83.7 million was due to $50.0 million of additional external costs in connection with the clinical trials ongoing in the periods presented, as well as $32.4 million of additional employee costs from increased headcount in our research and development functions, including an increase in stock compensation expense of $17.7 million.
The change in fair value of our contingent consideration liability for Contingent Milestone Payments under the Merger Agreement with ZebiAI was a decrease of $6.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to a decrease of $11.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The fluctuation of $5.3 million was primarily attributable to changes in the assumptions underlying the fair value measurement between periods.
General and administrative expenses were $75.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to $66.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase of $9.0 million was primarily due to an increase in stock compensation expense, partially offset by decreases in other employee compensation costs and certain other general and administrative expenses
Other income, net, was $31.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to $8.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase of $22.3 million was primarily a result of changes in interest rates.
In December 2024, we entered into the Elevar AgreementAgreement, pursuant to which Elevar was granted global development and commercialization rights for lirafugratinib. As of December 31, 2024,2025, we had received $5.0 million in upfront considerationconsideration, and $2.7$3.4 million in conjunction with the transfer of active pharmaceutical ingredient and other materialsmaterials, fromand Elevar$7.0 million in milestone payments pursuant to the Elevar Agreement.
AsThrough ofthe DecemberTermination 31, 2024,Date, we have received $120.0 million in upfront and milestone payments from Genentech pursuant to the Genentech Agreement.
In September 2022, we completed the September 2022 Offering of 11,320,755 shares of common stock at an offering price of $26.50 per share. We received proceeds of $284.7 million, which was net of $15.3 million in underwriting discounts and commissions, as well as other offering expenses.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, we used $235.5 million of cash on operating activities, primarily resulting from our net loss of $276.5 million and cash used to fund changes in our operating assets and liabilities of $23.3 million, offset by non-cash charges of $64.3 million.
During the year ended December 31, 2022, we used $229.5 million of cash on operating activities, primarily resulting from our net loss of $290.5 million, offset by non-cash charges of $49.8 million and cash provided by changes in our operating assets and liabilities of $11.2 million.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, net cash provided by investing activities was $192.8 million, consisting of $193.2 million proceeds from net maturities of investments, offset by $0.4 million for the acquisition of property and equipment.
During the year ended December 31, 2022, net cash used in investing activities was $188.7 million, consisting of $179.7 million in net purchases of investments and $9.1 million for the acquisition of property and equipment.
During the year ended December 31, 2024,2025, net cash provided by financing activities was $270.2$1.6 million, consisting of $265.9 million in net proceeds from the Private Placement, at-the-market offerings, and the September 2024 Offering, as well as $4.3$1.6 million in proceeds from the exercise of stock options and purchases under our 2020 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, or ESPP.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, net cash provided by financing activities was $270.2 million, consisting of $265.9 million in net proceeds from the Private Placement, at-the-market offerings, and the September 2024 Offering, as well as $4.3 million in proceeds from the exercise of stock options and purchases under our ESPP.
During the year ended December 31, 2022, net cash provided by financing activities was $289.9 million, primarily consisting of $284.7 million in net proceeds from the September 2022 Offering, as well as $5.2 million in proceeds from stock option exercises and purchases under our ESPP.
As of December 31, 2024,2025, we had cash, cash equivalents, and investments of $781.3$554.5 million. We believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents, and investments will enable us to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements into the second half of 2027.2029. We have based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could exhaust our available capital resources sooner than we expect.
On June 15, 2020, we entered into an Amended and Restated Collaboration and License Agreement, or DESRES Agreement, with D. E. Shaw Research, LLC, or D. E. Shaw Research, extending the term and otherwise modifying the terms of the Collaboration and License Agreement originally entered into on August 17, 2016. ThePursuant to the DESRES Agreement provides thatAgreement, the parties will jointly conductconducted research efforts with the goal of identifying and developing product candidates. OnThe initial research term under the DESRES Agreement ended on August 16, 2025, with the DESRES Agreement continuing thereafter on a target-by-target basis until all payment obligations have expired. We paid an annual collaboration fee of up to $9.9 million to D.E. Shaw Research until the end of the initial research term. Additionally, on a product-by-product basis, we have agreed to pay D. E. Shaw Research milestone payments upon the achievement of certain development and regulatory milestone events for products we develop under the DESRES Agreement that are directed to a Category 1 Target or any target that was a Category 1 Target. Such payments for achievement of development and regulatory milestones total up to $7.3 million in the aggregate for each of the first three products we develop and up to $6.3 million in the aggregate for each product we develop after the first three. In addition, we are obligated to pay D. E. Shaw Research royalty payments, as defined in the DESRES Agreement. We assessed the milestone and royalty events under the DESRES Agreement as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, concluding certain milestone payments were triggered as of December 31, 2025 and subsequently paid in January 2026 and no such payments were due as of December 31, 2024.
Shaw Research royalty payments, as defined in the DESRES Agreement. We assessed the milestone and royalty events under the DESRES Agreement as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, concluding no such payments were due as of the balance sheet dates.
The DESRES Agreement extended the initial research term of the original agreement to August 16, 2025 and increased the annual fee from $1.0 million to $7.9 million, commencing on August 16, 2020. In May 2021, the annual fee was further increased, by mutual agreement of the parties, from $7.9 million to $9.9 million. The initial research term under the DESRES Agreement will end on August 16, 2025, with the DESRES Agreement continuing thereafter on a target-by-target basis until all payment obligations have expired.
In December 2017, we executed an operating lease agreement for 44,336 square feet of office and laboratory space at 399 Binney Street, Cambridge, Massachusetts, which was increased to 44,807 square feet in January 2018. Pursuant to the terms of the operating lease agreement, as amended in November 2019 and September 2020, the operating lease was previously scheduled to expire on April 30, 2029. On June 3, 2025, we executed another amendment to the operating lease, as amended, pursuant to which termination was accelerated to July 3, 2025. We continued to be responsible for rent and other obligations under the operating lease, as amended, through July 3, 2025, at which point such obligations ceased and the operating lease was terminated.
In December 2017, we entered into a facility lease agreement for approximately 44,336 square feet of office and laboratory space at 399 Binney Street, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02142, which was increased to 44,807 square feet in January 2018. We gained control of the space in January 2019 and the lease expires in April 2029, subject to certain renewal options, which have not been included in the measurement of our right of use asset and lease liability on the balance sheet through December 31, 2024. In September 2020, we entered into an amendment to our existing facility lease agreement to expand the leased area by approximately 1,824 square feet of office space at 399 Binney Street, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02142. The amendment commenced in October 2020 and also expires in April 2029, subject to certain renewal options, which have also not been included in the measurement of our right of use asset and lease liability on the balance sheet through December 31, 2024. We provided a letter of credit in connection with our facility lease agreement in the amount of $0.9 million with a financial institution, which expires commensurate with the lease in April 2029.

The risk of a cybersecurity incident, breach or disruption, particularly through cyber-attacks or cyber intrusion, including by computer hackers, insider threats, foreign governments, and cyber threat actors, has generally increased as the frequency, persistence, intensity and sophistication of attempted attacks and intrusions from around the world have increased. We may not be able to anticipate all types of security threats, nor may we be able to implement preventive measures effective against all such security threats.

Until such time, if ever, as we can generate substantial product revenues, we expect to finance our cash needs through a combination of private and public equity offerings, debt financings, collaborations, strategic alliances and licensing arrangements. We do not have any committed external source of funds. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of common stock or securities convertible or exchangeable into common stock, the ownership interest of our stockholders will be diluted, and the terms of those securities may include liquidation or other preferences that materially adversely affect their rights as a common stockholder.see in full comparisonWe may offer and sell up to an aggregate amount of $250.0 million of our common stock from time to time in "at the market" offerings pursuant to the sales agreement, or the 2024 Sales Agreement, with TD Securities (USA) LLC, or TD Securities, subject to the limitations thereof. As of March 31, 2026, we sold 14,141,569 shares of common stock under the 2024 Sales Agreement, from which we received $140.4 million in gross proceeds. In connection therewith, we paid $3.3 million in commissions to TD Securities, yielding $137.1 million in net proceeds. In April 2026, we sold an additional 1,865,000 shares of common stock under the 2024 Sales Agreement, from which we received an additional $22.6 million in gross proceeds and paid an additional $0.5 million in commissions to TD Securities, yielding an additional $22.1 million in net proceeds. Debt financing, if available, would increase our fixed payment obligations and may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends.

We have not yet demonstrated our ability to successfully complete any large-scale, pivotal clinical trials, obtain regulatory approvals, manufacture a commercial scale product, or arrange for a third party to do so on our behalf, or conduct sales and marketing activities necessary for successful commercialization. OurWe leadhave two product candidate iscandidates in clinical development. We may not be able to file investigational new drug applications, or INDs, for any of our preclinical product candidates on the timelines we expect, if at all. For example, we may experience manufacturing delays or delays with IND-enabling studies. Moreover, we cannot be sure that once we have submitted an IND, the FDA will allow further clinical trials to begin, or that, once begun, issues will not arise that require us to suspend or terminate clinical trials. The FDA or other regulatory authorities may impose a clinical hold before or after a trial begins for a number of reasons outlined in FDA regulations, including if the FDA believes the study drug raises a significant risk of illness or injury. If the FDA imposes a clinical hold, trials may not commence or recommence without FDA authorization and then only under terms authorized by the FDA. Accordingly, the submission of an IND does not mean the FDA will allow clinical trials to begin and, if and when clinical trials do commence under an active IND, issues may arise that require suspension or termination of such trials. Further, commencing each of these clinical trials is subject to finalizing the trial design based on discussions with the FDA and other regulatory authorities. Any guidance we receive from the FDA or other regulatory authorities is subject to change. Regulatory authorities could change their position, including, on the acceptability of our trial designs or the clinical endpoints selected, which may require us to complete additional clinical trials or impose stricter approval conditions than we expect. Successful completion of our clinical trials is a prerequisite to submitting a new drug application, or NDA, to the FDA and a Marketing Authorization Application, or MAA, to the EMA for each product candidate and, consequently, the ultimate approval and commercial marketing of each product candidate. While we have active clinical trials for our lead product candidate, zovegalisib, and RLY-8161, we do not know whether any of our current clinical trials will be completed on schedule, if at all, or whether any of our future clinical trials will begin on time or be completed on schedule, if at all.
We may not be able to initiate or continue clinical trials for our product candidates if we are unable to locate and enroll a sufficient number of eligible patients to participate in these trials as required by the FDA or similar regulatory authorities outside the United States. In particular, because we willhave beapplied, deployingand intend to continue applying, our drug discovery platform across a broad target space, our ability to enroll eligible patients may be limited or may result in slower enrollment than we anticipate. In addition, some of our competitors have ongoing clinical trials for product candidates that treat the same indications as our product candidates, and patients who would otherwise be eligible for our clinical trials may instead enroll in clinical trials of our competitors’ product candidates.
We have engaged and may continue to engage third parties to develop companion diagnostics for use in our clinical trials, but such third parties may not be successful in developing such companion diagnostics, furthering the difficulty in identifying patients with the targeted genetic mutations for our clinical trials. Further, if we are required to develop companion diagnostics and are unable to include patients with the targeted genetic mutations, this could compromise our ability to seek participation in the FDA’s expedited review and development programs, including Breakthrough Therapy Designation and Fast Track Designation, or otherwise to seek to accelerate clinical development and regulatory timelines. The FDA has indicated that if we continue RLY-2608zovegalisib in a specific biomarker-defined population, a companion diagnostic device will be required to ensure its safe and effective use. If any of our future third-party companion diagnostic partners is unable or unwilling to obtain or maintain regulatory approval for a companion diagnostic for any of our product candidates, regulatory approval for such product candidates, if obtained at all, may be delayed.
We currently rely on foreign CMOs for the manufacture of certain of our product candidates for preclinical development and clinical testing and will likely continue to do so in the future. Foreign CMOs may be subject to U.S. legislation or investigations, such as the previously proposed BIOSECURE Act in the United States, sanctions, trade restrictions and other foreign regulatory requirements, which could increase the cost or reduce the supply of material available to us, delay the procurement or supply of such material, delay or impact clinical trials, have an adverse effect on our ability to secure significant commitments from governments to purchase our product candidates, if ever approved, and could adversely affect our financial condition and business prospects.
We rely on third-party manufacturers and service providers that operate in China, and evolving U.S. national security and supply-chain restrictions could materially adversely affect our development programs and future commercialization efforts.
We currently rely on third-party CMOs and other vendors located outside the United States, including entities that operate in China, for the manufacture of clinical trial materials and the provision of certain development-related services. For example, we currently rely on WuXi AppTec Co. Ltd. and/or its affiliates, or WuXi AppTec, for the manufacture of certain of our product candidates, and we may continue to rely on foreign CMOs and other service providers in the future.
On December 18, 2025, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2026, or the NDAA, was enacted, which includes Section 851, commonly referred to as the “BIOSECURE Act.” The BIOSECURE Act restricts U.S. government agencies from procuring biotechnology equipment or services produced or provided by, or from entering into contracts with, entities that use biotechnology equipment or services produced or provided by “biotechnology companies of concern”, or BCCs, and from expending federal loan or grant funds for such equipment or services.
Under the BIOSECURE Act, BCCs are identified through two pathways. First, an entity included on the U.S. Department of Defense’s, or the DoD’s, 1260H List of “Chinese military companies” will be designated a BCC if the Office of Management and Budget, or OMB, determines that the entity is to any extent involved in the manufacturing, distribution, provision, or procurement of biotechnology equipment or services. Second, an entity not on the 1260H List may separately be designated a BCC by OMB if it meets additional statutory criteria, including that it is subject to the control of or acts on behalf of a specified foreign adversary government (such as China) and poses certain national security risks.
On June 11, 2026, WuXi AppTec filed a complaint against DoD in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, challenging its inclusion on the 1260H List as unsupported by the applicable statutory criteria and seeking to have the designation vacated. We cannot predict the outcome of this litigation or its effect on WuXi AppTec’s status under the 1260H List or the BIOSECURE Act.
The BIOSECURE Act’s prohibitions are not yet in effect. OMB is required to publish a formal BCC list no later than December 2026, after which the government has one year to revise the Federal Acquisition Regulation, or FAR, to implement the Act’s restrictions, with prohibitions taking effect 60 days following such revision. Accordingly, the BIOSECURE Act’s restrictions applicable to newly designated BCCs may not take effect until 2027 or later. The BIOSECURE Act also provides a five-year grandfathering period for biotechnology equipment or services provided under contracts with a BCC that were entered into prior to the applicable effective date; however, there can be no assurance that the grandfathering period or other transitional provisions will be available to us or will provide adequate time to identify and qualify alternative manufacturers or service providers.
Although the BIOSECURE Act includes certain exceptions, waivers, and safe harbors, including the grandfathering period described above, these provisions may be limited in scope, subject to agency interpretation, or unavailable in particular circumstances. The manner in which OMB, DoD, and other agencies will interpret and enforce the BIOSECURE Act’s requirements, including the ultimate consequences of WuXi AppTec’s inclusion on the 1260H List and the outcome of its pending litigation, remains uncertain.
If WuXi AppTec, or any other current or future vendors with which we work are designated as BCCs, or if our collaborators, customers, investors, or future commercial partners become subject to BIOSECURE-related restrictions as a result of their relationships with such vendors, we could be required to terminate or restructure existing arrangements, transition manufacturing or other services to alternative suppliers, or delay or suspend development activities. Any such transition could involve significant cost, operational complexity, regulatory risk, and delays, and alternative suppliers may not be available on acceptable terms or at all. In addition, BIOSECURE-related restrictions could adversely affect our ability to obtain U.S. government funding, enter into collaborations with parties that receive federal funds, attract investment, or ultimately commercialize any product candidates, which could materially harm our business, financial condition, and prospects.
We are a biopharmaceutical company with a limited operating history and have incurred net losses in each year since our inception. Our net losses were $73.3$157.0 million and $77.1$147.4 million for the threesix months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. We had an accumulated deficit of $2.1$2.2 billion as of MarchJune 31,30, 2026. Biopharmaceutical product development is a highly speculative undertaking and involves a substantial degree of risk. We commenced operations in May 2015. Since inception, we have focused substantially all of our efforts and financial resources on developing our Dynamo® drug discovery platform and product candidates. We have no products approved for commercial sale and therefore have never generated any revenue from product sales, and we do not expect to in the foreseeable future. We have not obtained regulatory approvals for any of our product candidates and there is no assurance that we will obtain approvals in the future. We expect to continue to incur significant expenses and operating losses over the next several years and for the foreseeable future. Our prior losses, combined with expected future losses, have had and will continue to have an adverse effect on our stockholders’ deficit and working capital.
Until such time, if ever, as we can generate substantial product revenues, we expect to finance our cash needs through a combination of private and public equity offerings, debt financings, collaborations, strategic alliances and licensing arrangements. We do not have any committed external source of funds. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of common stock or securities convertible or exchangeable into common stock, the ownership interest of our stockholders will be diluted, and the terms of those securities may include liquidation or other preferences that materially adversely affect their rights as a common stockholder. We may offer and sell up to an aggregate amount of $250.0 million of our common stock from time to time in "at the market" offerings pursuant to the sales agreement, or the 2024 Sales Agreement, with TD Securities (USA) LLC, or TD Securities, subject to the limitations thereof. As of March 31, 2026, we sold 14,141,569 shares of common stock under the 2024 Sales Agreement, from which we received $140.4 million in gross proceeds. In connection therewith, we paid $3.3 million in commissions to TD Securities, yielding $137.1 million in net proceeds. In April 2026, we sold an additional 1,865,000 shares of common stock under the 2024 Sales Agreement, from which we received an additional $22.6 million in gross proceeds and paid an additional $0.5 million in commissions to TD Securities, yielding an additional $22.1 million in net proceeds. Debt financing, if available, would increase our fixed payment obligations and may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends.
In May 2026, we completed the May 2026 Offering, of 26,354,167 shares of common stock, which share amount includes the exercise in full of the underwriters' option to purchase an additional 3,437,500 shares, at an offering price of $12.00 per share. We received proceeds of $296.8 million, which was net of $19.4 million in underwriting discounts and other offering expenses.
Additionally, we may offer and sell up to an aggregate amount of $250.0 million of our common stock from time to time in "at the market" offerings pursuant to the sales agreement, or the 2024 Sales Agreement, with TD Securities (USA) LLC, or TD Securities, subject to the limitations thereof. As of June 30, 2026, we sold 16,006,569 shares of common stock under the 2024 Sales Agreement, from which we received $163.0 million in gross proceeds. In connection therewith, we paid $3.8 million in commissions to TD Securities, yielding $159.2 million in net proceeds.
Debt financing, if available, would increase our fixed payment obligations and may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends.
Our commercial success will depend in part on our ability to obtain and maintain proprietary or intellectual property protection in the United States and other countries for our product candidates, and our core technologies, including our novel target discovery technology and our proprietary compound library and other know-how. We seek to protect our proprietary and intellectual property position by, among other methods, filing patent applications in the United States and abroad related to our proprietary technology, inventions and improvements that are important to the development and implementation of our business. We also rely on trade secrets, know-how and continuing technological innovation to develop and maintain our proprietary and intellectual property position. Other than our Eurasian, Chinese, Israeli, Japanese, Korean, Chilean and U.S. patents relating to zovegalisib and our U.S. and foreign patents relating to lirafugratinib, we do not own or in-license any issued patents relating to our platform or our product candidates under clinical development.
Disruptions at the FDA, the SEC and other government agencies caused by funding shortages or global health concerns, in addition to substantial uncertainty regarding the Trump administration’s initiativesinitiatives, leadership changes and staffing cuts and how these might impact the FDA, its implementation of laws, regulations, policies and guidance, and its personnel, could hinder their ability to hire and retain key leadership and other personnel, prevent new products and services from being developed or commercialized in a timely manner or otherwise prevent those agencies from performing normal business functions on which the operation of our business may rely, which could negatively impact our business.
The ability of the FDA to review and approve new products can be affected by a variety of factors, including government budget and funding levels, global health concerns, ability to hire and retain key leadership and personnel and accept the payment of user fees, and statutory, regulatory, and policy changes. Average review times at the agency have fluctuated in recent years as a result. In addition, government funding of the SEC and other government agencies on which our operations may rely, including those that fund research and development activities, is subject to the political process, which is inherently fluid and unpredictable.
As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we had 193202 full-time employees. In the future, we expect to experience significant growth in the number of our employees and the scope of our operations, particularly in the areas of pharmaceutical and clinical development, regulatory affairs and, if any of our product candidates receives marketing approval, sales, marketing and distribution. To manage our anticipated future growth, we must continue to implement and improve our managerial, operational and financial systems, expand our facilities and continue to recruit and train additional qualified personnel. Due to our limited financial resources and the limited experience of our management team in managing a company with such anticipated growth, we may not be able to effectively manage the expansion of our operations or recruit and train additional qualified personnel. The expansion of our operations may lead to significant costs and may divert our management and business development resources. Any inability to manage growth could delay the execution of our business plans or disrupt our operations.
The risk of a cybersecurity incident, breach or disruption, particularly through cyber-attacks or cyber intrusion, including by computer hackers, insider threats, foreign governments, and cyber threat actors, has generally increased as the frequency, persistence, intensity and sophistication of attempted attacks and intrusions from around the world have increased. We may not be able to anticipate all types of security threats, nor may we be able to implement preventive measures effective against all such security threats. The techniques used by cyber criminals change frequently, may not be recognized until launched and can originate from a wide variety of sources, including insider threats and outside groups such as external service providers, organized crime affiliates, terrorist organizations or hostile foreign governments or agencies, or generated using artificial intelligence.intelligence.In Inparticular, addition,the changesincreasing inavailability howof generative artificial intelligence tools has enabled threat actors to develop more convincing phishing, vishing, and deepfake social engineering campaigns, to accelerate vulnerability discovery, and to automate reconnaissance against our employees worksystems and access our systems, which began during the COVID-19 pandemic and continue today, when partthose of our workforcevendors. isOur workinghybrid remotely,and couldremote alsowork leadmodel toexpands opportunitiesour forattack badsurface actorsand toincreases launchthe cyber-attacksrisk of unauthorized access, inadvertent disclosure, or for employees to cause inadvertent or intentional security risks orinsider incidents.

The market price for our common stock historically has been volatile and could continue to be subject to wide fluctuations in response to various factors. Since shares of our common stock were sold in our initial public offering, or IPO, in July 2020 at a price of $20.00 per share, our stock price has fluctuated significantly, ranging from an intraday low of $1.78 to an intraday high of $64.37 through MayJuly 1,31, 2026. This volatility may affect the price at which you could resell the common stock. Our stock price is likely to continue to be volatile and subject to significant price and volume fluctuations in response to market and other factors, including the factors described below. The stock market in general and Nasdaq and the market for biopharmaceutical companies in particular, have experienced extreme volatility that has often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of these companies.
As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, the holdings of our executive officers, directors, principal stockholders and their affiliates, represented beneficial ownership, in the aggregate, of approximately 51.2%47.6% of our outstanding common stock. As a result, these stockholders, if they act together, will be able to influence our management and affairs and control the outcome of matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, including the election of directors and any sale, merger, consolidation, or sale of all or substantially all of our assets. These stockholders may have interests, with respect to their common stock, that are different from those of our public market investors and the concentration of voting power among these stockholders may have an adverse effect on the price of our common stock. In addition, this concentration of ownership might adversely affect the market price of our common stock by:
Our fourth amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as amended,amended to date, or the Certificate of Incorporation, and our second amended and restated bylaws, or the Bylaws, contain provisions that could delay or prevent a change of control of our company or changes in our board of directors that our stockholders might consider favorable. Some of these provisions include:

ReDiscoversee in full comparisonTrial.Trials. In December 2021, we dosed the first patient in a first-in-human clinical trial for zovegalisib, or the ReDiscover Trial. Since then, we have predominantly focused on evaluating zovegalisib in combination withfulvestrantother therapies for patients with HR+, HER2–, PI3Kα-mutated, locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer.We are also advancing triplet combination arms with zovegalisib, fulvestrant and cyclin dependent kinase 4/6, or CDK 4/6, inhibitors, or atirmociclib, the investigative selective-CDK4 inhibitor from Pfizer Inc., or Pfizer.In the second quarter of 2025, we initiated a global Phase 3 registrational study, or the ReDiscover-2 Trial, which is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of zovegalisib plus fulvestrant in PI3Kα-mutated, HR+/HER2- advanced breast cancer patients previously treated with a cyclin dependent kinase 4/6, or CDK4/66, inhibitor. The comparator arm in the ReDiscover-2 Trial is capivasertib plus fulvestrant. In February 2026, we announced that the FDA granted Breakthrough Therapy designation to zovegalisib in combination with fulvestrant for the treatment of adults with PIK3CA mutant HR+/HER2- locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer following recurrence or progression on or after treatment with a CDK4/6 inhibitor. We are also advancing triplet combination arms with zovegalisib, fulvestrant and CDK 4/6 inhibitors, or atirmociclib, the investigative selective-CDK4 inhibitor from Pfizer Inc., or Pfizer, to support a potential future trial in frontline breast cancer. In April 2026, we announced that we selected atirmociclib as our go-forward triplet combination partner.

Vascular Anomalies o
Clinical Data. In May 2026, we announced initial clinical data from the ReInspire Trial, which we believe demonstrate that zovegalisib has potential for differentiated safety and efficacy in patients with PIK3CA-driven vascular anomalies.
In May 2026, we completed a public offering, or the May 2026 Offering, of 26,354,167 shares of common stock, which share amount includes the exercise in full of the underwriters' option to purchase an additional 3,437,500 shares, at an offering price of $12.00 per share. We received proceeds of $296.8 million, which was net of $19.4 million in underwriting discounts and other offering expenses.
In December 2024, we and Elevar Therapeutics, Inc., or Elevar, entered into an exclusive global licensing agreement, or the Elevar Agreement, pursuant to which Elevar was granted global development and commercialization rights for lirafugratinib. Under the terms of the Elevar Agreement, we received $5.0 million upon execution, $3.4$3.7 million upon transfer of active pharmaceutical ingredient and other materials, and $10.0 million in milestone payments as of MarchJune 31,30, 2026. We are eligible to receive up to $485.0 million in regulatory and commercial milestone payments, as well as tiered royalties.
In August 2024, we entered into a sales agreement, or the 2024 Sales Agreement, with TD Securities (USA) LLC, or TD Securities, pursuant to which we may offer and sell shares of our common stock having aggregate gross proceeds of up to $250.0 million from time to time in “at-the-market” offerings through TD Securities, as our sales agent. As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we have sold 14,141,56916,006,569 shares of common stock under the 2024 Sales Agreement, from which we received $140.4$163.0 million in gross proceeds. In connection therewith, we paid $3.3$3.8 million in commissions to TD Securities, yielding $137.1$159.2 million in net proceeds. In April 2026, we sold an additional 1,865,000 shares of common stock under the 2024 Sales Agreement, from which we received an additional $22.6 million in gross proceeds and paid an additional $0.5 million in commissions to TD Securities, yielding an additional $22.1 million in net proceeds.
Inflation generally affects us by increasing our employee-related costs and clinical trial expenses, as well as other operating expenses. Our financial condition and results of operations may also be impacted by other factors we may not be able to control, such as public health crises, global supply chain disruptions, uncertain global economic conditions, global trade disputes or political instability as further discussed in the section "Risk Factors" in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We do not believe that such factors had a material adverse impact on our results of operations during the three and six months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and 2025.2026.
Since our inception, we have incurred significant operating losses on an aggregate basis. Our ability to generate product revenue sufficient to achieve profitability will depend on the successful development and eventual commercialization of one or more of our current or future product candidates. Our net losses were $73.3$157.0 million and $77.1$147.4 million for the threesix months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026 we had an accumulated deficit of $2.1$2.2 billion. These losses have resulted primarily from costs incurred in connection with research and development activities, licensing and patent investment, and general and administrative costs associated with our operations. We expect to continue to incur significant expenses, including the costs of operating as a public company, and generate significant operating losses for at least the next several years.
We believe our cash, cash equivalents, and investments of $642.1$910.9 million as of MarchJune 31,30, 2026 will enable us to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements into 2029. We have based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could exhaust our available capital resources sooner than we expect. We will need to raise additional capital in the future to continue developing the drugs in our pipeline and to commercialize any approved drug. We may seek to obtain additional financing in the future through the issuance of our common stock, through other equity or debt financings, or through collaborations or partnerships with other companies. We may not be able to raise additional capital on terms acceptable to us, or at all, and any failure to raise capital as and when needed could compromise our ability to execute on our business plan.

Costs incurred for these programs include costs incurred to support our discovery research and translational science efforts up to the initiation of first-in-human clinical development. Platform research and other research and development activities include costs that are not specifically allocated to active product candidates, including facilities costs, depreciation expense, and other costs. Employee expenses include salary, wages, stock compensation, and other costs related to our personnel, which are not allocated to specific programs or activities.
