Our cash and cash equivalents balance as of December 31, 2024 will fund our operations for less than one year.

Removed

As of December 31, 2024, we had a cash and cash equivalents balance of approximately $13.9 million. Subsequent to December 31, 2024, we consummated the January 2025 Registered Direct Offering for $25.0 million of gross proceeds. We expect our existing cash and cash equivalents balance as of December 31, 2024, together with the proceeds from the January 2025 Registered Direct Offering, will be insufficient to fund current planned operations for at least the next 12 months from the date of issuance of our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, and that we will need to raise additional capital in order to continue our operations as currently planned. In the event that we are unable to obtain additional financing, we may be unable to continue as a going concern. There is no guarantee that we will be able to secure additional financing. Changes in our operating plans, our existing and anticipated working capital needs, the acceleration or modification of our development activities, any near-term or future expansion plans, increased expenses, potential acquisitions or other events may further affect our ability to continue as a going concern. See Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information on our assessment. Similarly, the report of our independent registered public accounting firm on our consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024 includes an Emphasis of Matter paragraph indicating that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. If we cannot continue as a viable entity, our security holders may lose some or all of their investment in us.

Congress also recently amended the FDCA to require sponsors of a Phase 3 clinical trial, or other “pivotal study” of a new drug or biologic to support marketing authorization, to design and submit a diversity action plan for such clinical trial. The action plan must describe appropriate diversity goals for enrollment, as well as a rationale for the goals and a description of how the sponsor will meet them. Our Phase 3 REGAL trial of GPS for AML patients who have achieved CR2 was initiated before this requirement became effective, but for any future Phase 3 trials we plan to conduct, including any registrational study for SLS009, we must submit a diversity action plan to the FDA by the time we submit plans for such Phase 3, or pivotal study, protocol to the agency for review as part of an IND, unless we are able to obtain a waiver for some or all of the requirements for a diversity action plan. It is unknown at this time how the diversity action plan may affect the planning and timingInitiation of anyour future Phase 3 trial for our product candidates but initiation of such trials may be delayed if the FDA objects to our proposed diversity action plans for any future Phase 3 trial for our product candidates. We may experience difficulties recruiting a diverse population of patients in attempting to fulfill the requirements of any approved diversity action plan.

We are currently investigating SLS009 in combination with aza/ven in a Phase 2a2 clinical trial and we may continue to develop clinical candidates in combination with one or more currently approved cancer therapies or therapies currently in clinical development. Patients may not be able to tolerate our product candidates in combination with other therapies or dosing of our product candidates in combination with other therapies may have unexpected consequences. Even if any of our product candidates were to receive marketing approval or be commercialized for use in combination with other existing therapies, we would continue to be subject to the risks that the FDA, EMA or other comparable foreign regulatory authorities could revoke approval of the therapy used in combination with any of our product candidates, or safety, efficacy, manufacturing or supply issues could arise with these existing therapies. In addition, it is possible that existing therapies with which our product candidates aremay be approved for use could themselves fall out of favor or be relegated to later lines of treatment. This could result in the need to identify other combination therapies for our product candidates or our own products being less successful commercially.

Changes in U.S. federal policy that affect the geopolitical landscapelandscape, including tariffs, quotas, trade agreements or other trade restrictions, could give rise to circumstances outside our control that could have negative impacts on our business.

Several tariff announcements have been followed by announcements of limited exemptions and temporary pauses. Historically, tariffs have led to increased trade and political tensions, between not only the United States and China, but also between the United States and other countries in the international community. In response to tariffs, other countries have implemented 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.

More recently, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2026 includes a section titled, “Prohibition on Contracting with Certain Biotechnology Providers,” aimed at discouraging federal contracting with certain biotechnology companies for biotechnology equipment or services in China and other countries of concern. The statute prohibits federal executive agencies from procuring any biotechnology equipment or service from a biotechnology company of concern or contracting with any such company or any entity that procures or uses equipment or services from a biotechnology company of concern. Such prohibitions may limit our ability to partner with Chinese entities offering biotechnology equipment or services in connection with the development, testing, manufacturing or distribution of our product candidates or future products, if approved.

More recently, certain members of the U.S. Congress have raised national security concerns related to U.S. clinical trial sponsors utilizing study sites located in China that may be owned or operated by the Chinese military. It remains to be seen whether the current administration and/or the 119th Congress (2025-26) take steps to restrict or limit the conduct of, or government funding available for, clinical research activities involving China or Chinese entities, or to otherwise require additional due diligence checks or oversight by U.S. sponsors.

We and the CMOs we rely on will need to conduct significantphase appropriate development work for each product candidate for each target indication for studies, trials and commercial launch readiness. We intend to improve the existing processes for GPS in connection with more advanced clinical trials or commercialization efforts we may undertake in the future. Developing commercially viable manufacturing processes is a difficult, expensive and uncertain task, and there are risks associated with scaling to the level required for advanced clinical trials or commercialization, including cost overruns, potential problems with process scale-up, process reproducibility, stability issues, storage issues, consistency and timely availability of reagents or raw materials. The manufacturing facilities in which our product candidates will be made could be adversely affected by infectious disease outbreaks, pandemics, earthquakes and other natural disasters, equipment failures, labor shortages, lack of adequate temperature controls, power failures, and numerous other factors. We currently estimate that we have sufficient clinical supplies to support our clinical trials, however, this estimate is dependent on patient enrollment rates and a number of other factors and, accordingly, could change. Moreover, current clinical supplies may not be adequate for future clinical studies.

Judicial Interpretations: Court decisions, particularly those from the United States Supreme Court and the Federal Circuit, play a crucial role in shaping patent law and practice. Shifts in judicial interpretations, such as alterations to the criteria for patent eligibility or obviousness-type double patenting, or the standard for proving patent infringement, may impact prosecution, defense, and enforcement of certain patent claims in our patent portfolio.

In Europe, the European Commission has granted marketing authorizations for severalmultiple biosimilar products pursuant to a set of general and product class-specific guidelines for biosimilar approvals issued over the past few years.approvals. In addition, companies may be developing biosimilar products in other countries that could compete with our products, if approved.

We expect any product candidate which we commercialize will compete with products from other companies in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries. There are several biopharmaceutical companies which have approved treatments options in the United States for AML broadly, with different mechanisms of action, including AbbVie/Genentech (Venclexta), Pfizer (Mylotarg), Daiichi-Sankyo (Vanflyta), Rigel Pharmaceuticals (Rezlidhia), Syndax Pharmaceuticals (Revumenib) and Bristol Myers Squibb (Vidaza and Onureg).

Reworded

Key late-stage pipeline agents that are different from GPS have been granted ODD or Fast Track designation due to the unmet need in AML. Therefore, clinical late-stage companies developing late-stage clinical candidates to treat r/r AML may enter the market before our potential products, such as Delta-Fly Pharma (DFP-10917) and AROG Pharmaceuticals (crenolanib). Actinium Pharmaceuticals, which previously announced in late 2022 / early 2023 positive results in its pivotal Phase 3 trial in adults aged 55 and above with active r/r AML, has since announced that the FDA determined that its Phase 3 trial is not adequate to support a BLA filing for Iomab-B.

With respect to our SLS009 program, we anticipate competition from companies who have been engaged in the clinical development of selective CDK9-targeting therapies. Vincerx Pharma may be a potential competitor in our other indication, PTCL, with enitociclib, its CDK9 inhibitor, as a monotherapy and in combination with venetoclax. There are other companies which are in early development stages for their CDK9 inhibitors and targeting other hematological malignancies or solid tumors, including Sumitomo Dainippon Pharma (TP-1287), Cothera Bioscience (zotiraciclib), and Prelude Therapeutics (PRT2527).

More recently, in August 2022, the IRA was signed into law. Among other things, the IRA (see above “Government Regulation—Healthcare Reform”). If a drug product is selected by CMS for negotiation, it is expected that the revenue generated from such drug will decrease. CMS has begun to implement these new authorities and entered intoannouncing the first setround of agreements with drug and biologic manufacturers for negotiated prices offor the first 10 products,drug products in August 2024, which will become applicable for payment year 2026. The second round of negotiated prices for 15 drug products was announced in November 2025. However, the IRA’s impact on the pharmaceutical industry in the United States remains uncertain, in part because multiple large pharmaceutical companies and other stakeholders (e.g., the U.S. Chamber of Commerce) have initiated federal lawsuits against CMS arguing the program is unconstitutional for a variety of reasons, among other complaints. Those lawsuits are currently ongoing.

In addition, we may be unable to transfer personal data from the EU, UK, and other jurisdictions to U.S or other countries due to limitations on cross-border data flows. In particular, the EEA and the UK have significantly regulated the transfer of personal data to the U.S and other countries whose privacy laws it believes are inadequate. Other jurisdictions may adopt similarly stringent interpretations of their data localization and cross-border data transfer laws. Although there are currently various mechanisms that may be used to transfer personal data from the EEA and the UK to the U.S. in compliance with law, such as the EEA and UK’s standard contractual clauses and the newly-adopted Data Privacy Framework, these mechanisms are subject to legal challenges, and there is no assurance that we can satisfy or rely on these measures to lawfully transfer personal data to the U.S.. If there is no lawful manner for us to transfer personal data from the EEA, the UK or other jurisdictions to the U.S., or if the requirements for a legally-compliant transfer are too onerous, we could face significant adverse consequences, including the interruption or degradation of our operations, the need to relocate part of or all of our business or data processing activities to other jurisdictions at significant expense, increased exposure to regulatory actions, substantial fines and penalties, the inability to transfer data and work with partners, vendors and other third parties, and injunctions against our processing or transferring of personal data necessary to operate our business. Additionally, companies that transfer personal data out of the EEA and the UK to other jurisdictions, particularly to the U.S., are subject to increased scrutiny from regulators, individual litigants, and activist groups.

Future legislative and regulatory proposals may materially impact the ability of the FDA and other regulatory agencies to operate as they have historically operated. We cannot be sure whether additional legislative changes or executive orders will be enacted, or whether any of the FDA’s regulations, guidance or interpretations will be changed, or what the impact of such changes on the agency and its scientific review staff, if any, may be. For example, the FDA has experienced significant and rapid fluctuations in leadership and scientific review personnel, which may be key contributing factors in multiple reported delays in agency decision making on marketing applications and agency requests for additional data that are inconsistent with prior regulatory feedback. In addition, negotiations on the next FDA user fee reauthorization package began in mid-2025, and any agreement is expected to enter stakeholder negotiations beginning in mid-2025, with any agreementbe sent to Congress in early 2027 for purposes of initiating the legislative process. Reauthorization of the prescription drug user fee program would need tomust be finalized by Congress by the end of September 2027 in order to avoid a disruption in FDA’s review goals for BLAs and other activities supported by user fees assessed against industry.

Reworded

In addition, disruptions at the FDA and other agencies may slow the time necessary for new drugs to be reviewed and/or approved by necessary government agencies, which would adversely affect our business. For example, political disputes in Congress may result in a shutdown of the U.S. government and in such cases certain regulatory agencies, such as the FDA and the SEC, would have to furlough critical FDA, SEC and other government employees and stop critical activities. Moreover, government shutdowns or slowdowns can increase the time needed for an agency to complete its review or make final approvals or other administrative decisions. If a prolonged government shutdown were to occur, it could significantly impact the ability of the FDA to timely review and process our regulatory submissions, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and could impact our ability to access the public markets and obtain necessary capital in order to properly capitalize and continue our operations.

We have an ongoing open label randomized Phase 3 clinical trial, the REGAL study, for GPS monotherapy in patients with acute myeloid leukemia, or AML, in the maintenance setting after achievement of second complete remission, or CR2, following successful completion of second-line antileukemic therapy.

In December 2020, we entered into an exclusive license agreement, or the 3D Medicines Agreement, with 3D Medicines Inc., or 3D Medicines, a China-based biopharmaceutical company developing next-generation immuno-oncology drugs, for the development and commercialization of GPS, as well as the Company’s next generation heptavalent immunotherapeutic GPS+, which is at preclinical stage, across all therapeutic and diagnostic uses in mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan, which we refer to as Greater China. We have retained sole rights to GPS and GPS+ outside of Greater China. In November 2022, we announced that we had agreed with 3D Medicines for 3D Medicines to participate in the REGAL study through the inclusion of approximately 20 patients from mainland China. In December 2022, we entered into a Side Letter Agreement with 3D Medicines, or Side Letter, which together with the 3D Medicines Agreement, details the terms and conditions of 3D Medicines' participation in the REGAL study. Although the REGAL study has completed enrollment as announced in March 2024, in accordance with the predetermined statistical analysis plan, 3D Medicines may still enroll patients in mainland China. The timing of such participation and patient enrollment by 3D Medicines, if at all, cannot be predicted with certainty. As of MarchDecember 15,31, 2025, we have received an aggregate of $10.5 million in upfront and milestone payments under our license agreement with 3D Medicines, or the 3D Medicines Agreement, and a total of $191.5 million in potential future development, regulatory and sales milestones, not including future royalties, remains under the license agreement, which milestones are variable in nature and not under our control. In December 2023, we announced that we had commenced a binding arbitration proceeding against 3D Medicines to resolve a dispute regarding, among other things, the trigger and payment of relevant milestone payments due to us under the 3D Medicines Agreement.

SLS009SLS009, or Tambiciclib: Highly Selective Next Generation CDK9 Inhibitor

Reworded

We completed a Phase 1 dose-escalating clinical trial in the United States and China for SLS009 in mid-2023 and reported positive safety and efficacy data for both patient cohorts, that is relapsed and/or refractory AML and refractory lymphoma. We also established in the trial a recommended Phase 2 dose, or RP2D, of 60 mg once weekly or 30 mg twice weekly for AML and 100 mg once weekly for lymphomas.

Reworded

In the second quarter of 2023, we commenced an open label, single arm, multi-center Phase 2a clinical trial with SLS009 in combination with venetoclax and azacitidine, or aza/ven, in patients with AML who failed or did not respond to treatment with venetoclax-based therapies. The trial is evaluating safety, tolerability, and efficacy at two dose levels of SLS009, 45 mg once weekly, and 60 mg once weekly or 30 mg twice a week, in combination with aza/ven. In additionDecember to2024, safetywe andannounced tolerabilitypositive ofdata SLS009from the first 3 cohorts in combination with aza/ven, the efficacyPhase endpoints2a are complete response composite rate and duration of response.

Added

In July 2025, we announced that the Phase 2 trial of SLS009 in r/r AML met all primary endpoints and received FDA guidance to advance into a first-line therapy study. The overall response rate, or ORR, in 54 evaluable patients was 33% across all cohorts and dose levels, 40% for the 30 mg BIW dose level, and 44% in the 30 mg BIW dose among patients with myelodysplasia-related molecular mutations, or AML MR, all exceeding the pre-specified ORR threshold of 20%. The highest efficacy was observed among patients with ASXL1 mutations, with an ORR of 50% (9/18) at 30 mg BIW dose levels, and AML MR with Myelomonocytic/Myelomonoblastic markers, or M4/M5 per FAB classification, patients with an ORR of 50% (6/12). The median overall survival, or mOS, reached 8.9 months in patients with AML MR and 8.8 months in patients r/r to venetoclax-based regimens at a 30 mg BIW dose level, surpassing the historical benchmark of ~2.4 months. SLS009 was well-tolerated with no new safety signals observed. No dose-limiting toxicities were observed across all dose levels.

Added

Following a productive end of Phase 2 meeting, the FDA recommended that we proceed into a clinical trial to include newly diagnosed, first-line AML patients eligible for aza/ven therapy, where the FDA noted clinical benefit might be greatest. The randomized 80-patient Phase 2 clinical trial is currently ongoing and began enrollment in the first quarter of 2026. The clinical trial will include two groups: predictive biomarker cohort (newly diagnosed patients unlikely to benefit from standard aza/ven therapy based on molecular profiling) and early venetoclax resistance cohort (patients who initiate treatment with aza/ven, but demonstrate confirmed lack of any response after two treatment cycles).

Added

In January 2026, we announced that we entered into an agreement with IMPACT-AML, a European collaborative initiative dedicated to advancing innovative treatments for patients with AML. Under the agreement, the IMPACT-AML network will conduct a clinical study evaluating SLS009, enabling access to multiple European clinical sites and patients. IMPACT-AML is a pan-European project and builds an inclusive clinical network (STREAM platform) that connects patients, clinicians, and researchers to test novel AML therapies and improve patient outcomes. It is part of the prestigious EU Mission Cancer program and a top-tier scientific cluster. The IMPACT-AML project is led by a consortium of major research and clinical institutions in Europe, including IRST (IRCCS Istituto Romagnolo per lo Studio dei Tumori “Dino Amadori”), the University of Bologna, IIS LA FE (Health Research Institute Hospital La Fe), several European AML collaborative groups, and supranational organizations under the umbrella of the European Leukemia Net (ELN), as well as various university hospitals across Europe. By leveraging IMPACT-AML’s existing infrastructure and expertise, we expect to expand European patient access to SLS009 in a highly cost-efficient manner while supporting broader participation across the clinical program.

Added

In November 2024, we announced data from preclinical studies identifying ASXL1 mutation as key predictor of SLS009 in response to solid cancers.

Added

In May 2025, we announced data for pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia, or ALL, patients derived xenografts, or PDX. The experiment conducted and funded by the National Institute of Health, or NIH, through through the NCI Pediatric Preclinical in Vivo Testing, or PIVOT, program, included 27 patient-derived ALL tumors from pediatric patients. Tumors were xenografted in mice in two groups, vehicle control arm and SLS009 arm. Mice were treated with a fractionated dose once per week for six consecutive weeks. Treatment was well tolerated. For all models, median survival was approximately tripled in the SLS009 arm, compared to vehicle control arm. SLS009 demonstrated delayed progression in 25/27 (93%) models and more than two times longer time to progression in 15/27 (56%) of ALL models. In addition, there were complete responses, or CR, in two models and in one of the two models CR was maintained after the treatment had been completed until the end of the study (four months). Among seven KMT2A rearranged models, time to progression was extended in all seven models, and in six out of seven (86%) time to progression was more than doubled.

Removed

In the fourth quarter of 2023, we completed enrollment in the 45 mg (safety) dose cohort in the Phase 2a study and reported positive initial topline data. At that time, we also commenced enrollment in the 60 mg dose cohort with patients randomized to one of two groups, 60 mg fixed dose once weekly or 30 mg fixed twice weekly. Each group was planned to enroll five to 10 patients. During the trial we identified 30 mg fixed twice weekly as our optimal dose level.

Removed

During the trial, we identified potential biomarkers currently undergoing testing as predictive markers in the most recent portion of the study. In May 2024, we announced additional preliminary data from the Phase 2a trial of SLS009 in r/r AML and successful filing of a provisional patent application around the ASXL1 mutation and SLS009, including all CDK9 inhibitor drugs. ASXL1 mutations are associated with poor prognosis in all myeloid diseases, owing to the reduced response to the current treatment options. We observed a high rate of responses in patients with myelodysplasia-related molecular mutations (AML MR), as defined by the World Health Organization, and patients with the ASXL1 gene mutation accounted for the most responders across all dose cohorts. We expanded the ongoing study to include two additional cohorts, one with ASXL1 mutated AML patients and one with patients with myelodysplasia-related molecular abnormalities other than ASXL1 at the optimal dose level of 30 mg fixed twice weekly. In December 2024, we announced positive data from the first 3 cohorts in the Phase 2a trial and the trial remains ongoing with additional data expected from the expansion cohorts in the first half of 2025.

Removed

Our partner, GenFleet, is focusing on lymphoma indications with SLS009 in its Greater China market. In March 2024, we announced that GenFleet initiated a study of SLS009 in combination with zanubrutinib (Brukinsa®), a BTK inhibitor, in r/r diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, or DLBCL, and the first patient was dosed in the trial. The study is funded and sponsored by GenFleet and is being conducted in China only. In February 2025, we announced positive data from the Phase 2a study evaluating SLS009 in combination with zanubrutinib.

Removed

In November 2024, we announced data from preclinical studies identifying ASXL1 mutation as key predictor of SLS009 in response to solid cancers. SLS009 is also currently being evaluated in pediatric solid tumors and leukemia models through the NCI Pediatric Preclinical in Vivo Testing, or PIVOT, program. Studies are supported through cooperative agreement grants from the NCI to the PIVOT research centers performing the testing in pediatric tumor models and a centralized coordinating center. We expect to report relevant data from the program in the first half of 2025.

Added

Management's expectations with respect to its ability to fund current planned operations is based on estimates that are subject to risks and uncertainties. If actual results are different from management's estimates, we may need to seek additional strategic or financing opportunities sooner than would otherwise be expected. There is no guarantee that any of these strategic or financing opportunities will be executed or executed on favorable terms, and some could be dilutive to existing stockholders. If we are unable to obtain additional funding on a timely basis, we may be forced to significantly curtail, delay, or discontinue one or more of its planned research and development programs or be unable to expand our operations or otherwise prepare for the potential regulatory approval and commercialization of its product candidates, assuming positive data.

Removed

Our consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. We anticipate incurring additional losses until such time, if ever, that we can generate significant sales of any current or future product candidates in development.

Removed

We will require substantial additional financing to develop any current or future product candidates. If we are unable to obtain additional funding on a timely basis, we will be required to scale back our plans and place certain activities on hold. We currently do not have any commitments to obtain additional funds. Our management continues to evaluate different strategies to obtain the required funding for future operations. These strategies may include public and private placements of equity and/or debt securities, as well as payments from potential strategic research and development collaborations or licensing and/or marketing arrangements with pharmaceutical companies. Additionally, we continue to pursue discussions with global and regional pharmaceutical companies for licensing and/or co-development rights to our product candidates. There can be no assurance that these future funding efforts will be successful.

We base our expenses related to clinical trials on our estimates of the services received and efforts expended pursuant to quotes and contracts with multiple research institutions and CROs that conduct and manage preclinical studies and clinical trials on our behalf. The financial terms of these agreements are subject to negotiation, vary from contract to contract and may result in uneven payment flows. There may be instances in which payments made to our vendors will exceed the level of services provided and result in a prepayment of the expense. Payments under some of these contracts depend on factors such as the successful enrollment of patients and the completion of clinical trial milestones. In accruing service fees, we estimate the time period over which services will be performed and the level of effort to be expended in each period. If the actual timing of the performance of services or the level of effort varies from the estimate, we adjust the accrual or prepaid accordingly. Although we do not expect its estimates to be materially different from amounts actually incurred, our understanding of the status and timing of services performed relative to the actual status and timing of services performed may vary and may result in reporting amounts that are too high or too low in any particular period. To date, we have not made any material adjustments to our prior estimates of accrued research and development expenses.

Our lead product candidate, GPS, is a cancer immunotherapeutic agent licensed from Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, or MSK, that targets the WT1 protein, which is present in 20 or more cancer types. Based on its mechanism of action as a directly immunizing agent, GPS has potential as a monotherapy or in combination with other immunotherapeutic agents to address a broad spectrum of hematologic, or blood, cancers, and solid tumor indications.

In December 2020, we entered into an exclusive license agreement, or the 3D Medicines Agreement, with 3D Medicines Inc., or 3D Medicines, a China-based biopharmaceutical company developing next-generation immuno-oncology drugs, for the development and commercialization of GPS, as well as our next generation heptavalent immunotherapeutic GPS+, which is at preclinical stage, across all therapeutic and diagnostic uses in mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan, which we refer to as Greater China or the 3DMed Territory. We have retained sole rights to GPS and GPS+ outside of Greater China. In November 2022, we announced that we had agreed with 3D Medicines for 3D Medicines to participate in the REGAL study through the inclusion of approximately 20 patients from mainland China. In December 2022, we entered into a Side Letter Agreement with 3D Medicines, or Side Letter, which together with the 3D Medicines Agreement, details the terms and conditions of 3D Medicines' participation in the REGAL study. Although the REGAL study has completed enrollment as announced in March 2024, in accordance with the predetermined statistical analysis plan, 3D Medicines may still enroll patients in mainland China. The timing of such participation and patient enrollment by 3D Medicines, if at all, cannot be predicted with certainty. As of March 31, 2026, we have received an aggregate of $10.5 million in upfront and milestone payments under our license agreement with 3D Medicines, or the 3D Medicines Agreement, and a total of $191.5 million in potential future development, regulatory and sales milestones, not including future royalties, remains under the license agreement, which milestones are variable in nature and not under our control. In December 2023, we announced that we had commenced a binding arbitration proceeding against 3D Medicines to resolve a dispute regarding, among other things, the trigger and payment of relevant milestone payments due to us under the 3D Medicines Agreement. See Part II, Item 1, Legal Proceedings.

On March 31, 2022, we entered into an exclusive license agreement, or the GenFleet Agreement, with GenFleet Therapeutics (Shanghai), Inc., or GenFleet, a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing cutting-edge therapeutics in oncology and immunology, that grants rights to us for the development and commercialization of SLS009, a highly selective small molecule CDK9 inhibitor, across all therapeutic and diagnostic uses worldwide, except for Greater China.China (as defined below).

In the second quarter of 2023, we commenced an open label, single arm, multi-center Phase 2a clinical trial with SLS009 in combination with venetoclax and azacitidine, or aza/ven, in patients with AML who failed or did not respond to treatment with venetoclax-based therapies. The trial is evaluatingevaluated safety, tolerability, and efficacy at two dose levels of SLS009, 45 mg once weekly, and 60 mg once weekly or 30 mg twice a week, in combination with aza/ven. In December 2024, we announced positive data from the first 3 cohorts in the Phase 2a trial.

Reworded

Following a productive end of Phase 2 meeting, the FDA recommended that we proceed into a clinical trial to include newly diagnosed, first-line AML patients eligible for aza/ven therapy, where the FDA noted clinical benefit might be greatest. The randomized 80-patient Phase 2 clinical trial is currently ongoing and began enrollment in the first quarter of 2026. As of August 10, 2026, there were 28 patients enrolled in the randomized Phase 2 clinical trial of SLS009 in the newly diagnosed, first-line AML setting and enrollment is ongoing in the U.S. The clinical trial will include two groups: predictive biomarker cohort (newly diagnosed patients unlikely to benefit from standard aza/ven therapy based on molecular profiling) and early venetoclax resistance cohort (patients who initiate treatment with aza/ven, but demonstrate confirmed lack of any response after two treatment cycles).

Reworded

In January 2026, we announced that we entered into an agreement with IMPACT-AML, a European collaborative initiative dedicated to advancing innovative treatments for patients with AML. Under the agreement, the IMPACT-AML network will sponsor and conduct a clinical study evaluating SLS009, enabling access to multiple European clinical sites and patients. IMPACT-AML is a pan-European project andthat builds an inclusive clinical network (STREAM platform) that connectsconnecting patients, clinicians, and researchers to test novel AML therapies and improve patient outcomes. It is part of the prestigious EU Mission Cancer program and a top-tier scientific cluster. The IMPACT-AML project is led by a consortium of major research and clinical institutions in Europe, including IRST (IRCCS Istituto Romagnolo per lo Studio dei Tumori “Dino Amadori”), the University of Bologna, IIS LA FE (Health Research Institute Hospital La Fe), several European AML collaborative groups, and supranational organizations under the umbrella of the European Leukemia Net (ELN), as well as various university hospitals across Europe. By leveraging IMPACT-AML’s existing infrastructure and expertise, we expect to expandexpanded European patient access to SLS009 in a highly cost-efficient manner while supporting broader participation across the clinical program.
