“Additionally, the U.S. Department of Justice issued a rule entitled Preventing Access to U.S. Sensitive Personal Data and Government-Related Data by Countries of Concern or Covered Persons, which places additional restrictions on certain data transactions involving countries of concern (e.g., China, Russia, Iran) and covered individuals (i.e., individuals and entities located in or controlled by individuals or entities located in those jurisdictions) that may impact certain business activities such as vendor engagements, employment of certain individuals and investor agreements. …”see in full comparison
“Additionally, there has been heightened governmental scrutiny in the United States of pharmaceutical pricing practices in light of the rising cost of prescription drugs and biologics. Such scrutiny has resulted in several recent Presidential executive orders, congressional inquiries and proposed and enacted federal and state legislation designed to, among other things, bring more transparency to product pricing, review the relationship between pricing and manufacturer patient programs, and reform government program reimbursement methodologies for products. …”see in full comparison
“The current administration is pursuing policies to reduce regulations and expenditures across government agencies including at HHS, the FDA, CMS and related agencies. These actions, presently directed by executive orders or memoranda from the Office of Management and Budget, may propose policy changes that create additional uncertainty for our business.

We have not yet completed testing of any product candidates in clinical trials. Success in preclinical studies or earlier clinical trials, including our Phase 1/2 REVEAL trials of TSHA-102, may not be indicative of results in future clinical trials.trials or provide support for the submission of a marketing application.
Since our inception, we have incurred significant net losses, and we expect to continue to incur significant expenses and operating losses for the foreseeable future. Our net losses were $89.3$109.0 million and $111.6$89.3 million for the years ended December 31, 20242025 and 2023,2024, respectively. As of December 31, 2024,2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $602.3$711.3 million. We have financed our operations with $671.0$961.0 million in gross proceeds from equity financings, including from pre-IPO private placements of convertible preferred stock, our initial public offering, or the IPO, and subsequent sales of common stock in public and private securities offerings, including but not limited to our at-the-market, or ATM, offering, from our previous loan agreement with Silicon Valley Bank and our current loan agreement with Trinity Capital and from the option agreement dated October 21, 2022, or the Option Agreement, with Audentes Therapeutics, Inc. (d/b/a Astellas Gene Therapy), or Astellas, and the securities purchase agreement dated October 21, 2022, or the Securities Purchase Agreement (and together with the Option Agreement, the Astellas Transactions), with Astellas. We have no products approved for commercialization and have never generated any revenue from product sales.
manufacture current good manufacturing practice, or cGMP,cGMP material for clinical trials or potential commercial sales;
In 2023, we generated revenue from the Astellas Transactions; however, toTo date we have not generated any revenue from product sales. To become and remain profitable, we must succeed in developing and eventually commercializing product candidates that generate significant revenue. This will require us to be successful in a range of challenging activities, including completing preclinical testing and clinical trials of our product candidates, obtaining regulatory approval, and manufacturing, marketing and selling any product candidates for which we may obtain regulatory approval, as well as discovering and developing additional product candidates. We are only in the preliminary stages of most of these activities and all of our product candidates are in clinical or preclinical development. We may never succeed in these activities and, even if we do, may never generate any revenue or revenue that is significant enough to achieve profitability.
As of December 31, 2024,2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $139.0$319.8 million. We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund our operating expenses and capital requirements into the fourth quarter of 2026.2028. This estimate is based on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could use our available capital resources sooner than we expect. Changes may occur beyond our control that would cause us to consume our available capital before that time, including changes in and progress of our development activities, acquisitions of additional product candidates, and changes in regulation. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including:
Our existing indebtedness contains restrictions that potentially limit our flexibility in operating our business. In addition, we may be required to make a prepayment or repay our outstanding indebtedness earlier than we expect under our 2025 Trinity Term Loan Agreement if we are unable to satisfy certain conditions.
On NovemberAugust 13,7, 2023,2025, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement, or the 2025 Trinity Term Loan Agreement, with the lenders party thereto from time to time, or the 2025 Trinity Lenders, and Trinity Capital Inc., as administrative agent and collateral agent for the 2025 Trinity Lenders, or Trinity, which provides for term loans of up to $40.0$100.0 million in the aggregate available in athree single tranche.tranches. The 2025 Trinity Term Loan Agreement contains various covenants that limit our ability to engage in specified types of transactions. These covenants limit our ability to, among other things:
A breach of any of these covenants could result in an event of default under the 2025 Trinity Term Loan Agreement. An event of default will also occur if, among other things, a material adverse change in our business, operations, or condition occurs, which could potentially include a material impairment of the prospect of our repayment of any portion of the amounts we owe under the 2025 Trinity Term Loan Agreement. In the case of a continuing event of default under the Trinity Term Loan Agreement, the 2025 Trinity Lenders could elect to declare all amounts outstanding to be immediately due and payable, proceed against the collateral in which we granted the Trinity Lenders a security interest under the 2025 Trinity Term Loan Agreement, or otherwise exercise the rights of a secured creditor. Amounts outstanding under the 2025 Trinity Term Loan Agreement are secured by all of our existing and future assets, including intellectual property.
At closing, we drew the full $40.0$50.0 million.
Our results of operations could be adversely affected by general conditions in the global economy. Unfavorable conditions in the economy both in the United States and abroad, including conditions resulting from changes in gross domestic product growth in the United States or abroad, financial and credit market fluctuations, inflation, fluctuating interest rates, potentialinternational tariffstariff policies, trade wars and other concerns regarding international trade relations, political turmoil, natural catastrophes, outbreaks of contagious diseases, geopolitical tensions, warfare and terrorist attacks on the United States, Europe, the Asia Pacific region or elsewhere, such as the conflict in the Middle East,attacks, could cause a decrease in business investments, disrupt the timing and cadence of key industry events, and negatively affect the growth of our business and our results of operations. For example, the COVID-19 pandemic adversely affected workforces, economies and financial markets globally, leading to a reduction in the ability of, or the inability of, partners, suppliers, vendors or other parties to meet their contractual obligations, and for a period of time, a reduction in customer spending on technology, and such conditions may reoccur in the future. The war in Ukraine and the related political and economic responses imposed on Russia such as sanctions, may also exacerbate these issues and trends especially in Europe. A severe or prolonged economic downturn could result in a variety of risks to our business, including weakened demand for our product candidates and our ability to raise additional capital when needed on acceptable terms, if at all. A weak or declining economy could also strain our suppliers, possibly resulting in supply disruption, or cause delays in payments for our services by third-party payors or our collaborators. Any of the foregoing could harm our business and we cannot anticipate all of the ways in which the current economic climate and financial market conditions could adversely impact our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
We are currently focused on the potential development of our lead product candidate, TSHA-102. We are still developing TSHA-102 and it cannot be marketed or sold in the United States or in foreign markets until regulatory approval has been obtained from the FDA or applicable foreign regulatory agencies.authorities. The process of obtaining regulatory approval is expensive and time consuming. The FDA and foreign regulatory authorities may never approve TSHA-102 for sale and marketing, and even if TSHA-102 is ultimately approved, regulatory approval may be delayed or limited in the United States or in other jurisdictions. Even if we are authorized to sell and market TSHA-102 in one or more markets, there is no assurance that we will be able to successfully market TSHA-102 or that TSHA-102 will achieve market acceptance sufficient to generate profits. If we are unable to successfully develop and commercialize TSHA-102 due to failure to obtain regulatory approval for TSHA-102, to successfully market TSHA-102, to generate profits from the sale of TSHA-102, or due to other risk factors outlined in this report, it would have material adverse effects on our business, financial condition, and results of operations as TSHA-102 is currently our sole product candidate in clinical development.
The regulatory requirements that will govern any novel gene therapy product candidates we develop are not entirely clear and are subject to change. Within the broader genetic medicine field, very few therapeutic products have received marketing authorization from the FDA or the European Commission. Even with respect to more established products that fit into the categories of gene therapies or cell therapies, the regulatory landscape is still developing. Regulatory requirements governing gene therapy products and cell therapy products have changed frequently and will likely continue to change in the future. Moreover, there is substantial overlap in those responsible for regulation of existing gene therapy products and cell therapy products. For example, in the United States, the FDA has established the Office of Tissues and Advanced Therapies within its Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, or CBER, to consolidate the review of gene therapy and related products, and the Cellular, Tissue and Gene Therapies Advisory Committee to advise CBER on its review.
All of our product candidates will require extensive clinical testing before we are prepared to submit a BLA or marketing authorization application, or MAA, for regulatory approval. We cannot predict with any certainty if or when we might complete the clinical development for our product candidates and submit a BLA or MAA for regulatory approval of any of our product candidates or whether any such BLA or MAA will be approved. We may also seek feedback from the FDA, EMA or other regulatory authorities on our clinical development program, and the FDA, EMA or such regulatory authorities may not provide such feedback on a timely basis, or such feedback may not be favorable, which could further delay our development programs.
We have not yet completed testing of any product candidate in clinical trials. Success in preclinical studies or earlier clinical trials may not be indicative of results in future clinical trials.
Success in preclinical testing and early clinical trials does not ensure that later clinical trials will generate the same results or otherwise provide adequate data to demonstrate the efficacy and safety of a product candidate. Preclinical tests and Phase 1 and Phase 2 clinical trials are primarily designed to test safety, to study pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics and to understand the side effects of product candidates at various doses and schedules. Success in preclinical or animal studies and early clinical trials does not ensure that later large-scale efficacy trials will be successful nor does it predict final results. For example, we may be unable to identify suitable animal disease models for our product candidates, which could delay or frustrate our ability to proceed into clinical trials or obtain marketing approval. Our product candidates may fail to show the desired safety and efficacy in clinical development despite positive results in preclinical studies or having successfully advanced through initial clinical trials. Our Phase 1/2 clinical trials of TSHA-102 involve small patient populations. Because of the small sample sizes, the results of these trials may not be indicative of results of future clinical trials. Further, although other gene therapy clinical trials conducted by others also utilized AAV9 vectors, these trials should not be relied upon as evidence that our planned clinical trials will succeed.
Many companies in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries have suffered significant setbacks in late-stage clinical trials even after achieving promising results in preclinical testing and earlier-stage clinical trials. Data obtained from preclinical and clinical activities are subject to varying interpretations, which may delay, limit or prevent regulatory approval. In addition, we may experience regulatory delays or rejections as a result of many factors, including changes in regulatory policy during the period of our product candidate development. Any such delays could negatively impact our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
From time to time, we may publish interim top-line or preliminary results from our clinical trials. Interim results from clinical trials that we may complete are subject to the risk that one or more of the clinical outcomes may materially change as patient enrollment continues and more patient data become available. Preliminary or top-line results also remain subject to audit and verification procedures that may result in the final data being materially different from the preliminary data we previously published. As a result, interim and preliminary data should be viewed with caution until the final data are available. For example, in JuneMay 2024,2025, we announced initial clinical data from the first two pediatric patientsadult/adolescent and interim clinical data from the first two adultpediatric patients treated in the Phase 1/2 REVEAL trials of TSHA-102. However, those observations may not endure or be repeated in subsequently dosedas patients orcontinue anytheir agefollow-up orvisits diseaseas severity, including patients receiving higher dosespart of TSHA-102 in either the adolescent/adult or pediatric trial. Initial clinical observations also may not translate into success on primary endpoints of the REVEAL trial. Differences between preliminary or interim data and final data could significantly harm our business prospects and may cause the trading price of our common stock to fluctuate significantly.
We are substantially dependent on the success of our lead product candidate, TSHA-102. There is no guarantee that we will be able to successfully develop and commercialize TSHA-102. If we are unable to complete development of, obtain regulatory approval for and commercialize TSHA-102 in one or more indications and in a timely manner, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects will be significantly harmed.

Any such outcome would cause us to cease development of TSHA-102, which is currently our only product candidate in clinical development. Our Phase 1/2 clinical trials of TSHA-102 involve small patient populations . Because of the small sample sizes, the results of these trials may not be indicative of results of future clinical trials, including REVEAL Part B and ASPIRE. Further, although other gene therapy clinical trials conducted by others also utilized AAV9 vectors, these trials should not be relied upon as evidence that our planned clinical trials will succeed.

As an organization, we have nevernot previously conducted pivotal clinical trials,trials andsuch mayas beREVEAL unablePart to do so for any product candidates we may develop, including TSHA-102.B.
We will need to successfully complete our ongoing and planned clinical trials, including pivotal clinical trials, in order to obtain FDA and comparable foreign regulatory approval to market our product candidates. Carrying out later-stage clinical trials and the submission of a successful BLA and comparable foreign application is a complicated process. As an organization, we have initiated Phase 1/2 clinical trials, have not previously conductedcompleted any later stage or pivotal clinical trials, but have limited experience in preparing, submitting and prosecuting regulatory filings and have not previously submitted a BLA or comparable foreign application for any product candidate. In addition, we have had limited interactions with the FDA and comparable foreign regulatory authorities and cannot be certain how many additional clinical trials of our product candidates will be required or how such trials should be designed. Consequently, we may be unable to successfully and efficiently execute and complete necessary clinical trials in a way that leads to BLA submission or comparable foreign application and approval of any product candidate. We may require more time and incur greater costs than our competitors and may not succeed in obtaining regulatory approvals of product candidates that we develop. Failure to commence or complete, or delays in, our planned clinical trials, could prevent us from or delay us in commercializing our product candidates.
Although we have received feedback from the FDA on the design of Part B of our clinical trial of TSHA-102, there is no assurance that our trial design will be sufficient for FDA approval. Consequently, we may be unable to successfully and efficiently execute and complete necessary clinical trials in a way that leads to BLA submission or comparable foreign application and approval of TSHA-102. We may require more time and incur greater costs than our competitors and may not succeed in obtaining regulatory approvals of TSHA-102. Failure to commence or complete, or delays in, our planned clinical trials, could prevent us from or delay us in commercializing TSHA-102.
potential disruptions caused by public health crises, such as pandemics or similar outbreaks, including difficulties in initiating clinical sites, enrolling and retaining participants, diversion of healthcare resources away from clinical trials, travel or quarantine policies that may be implemented, labor shortages, other geopolitical events and other factors;
Orphan medicinal product designation entitles an applicant to incentives such as fee reductions or fee waivers, protocol assistance, and access to the centralized marketing authorization procedure. Upon grant of a marketing authorization, orphan medicinal products are entitled to a ten-year period of market exclusivity for the approved therapeutic indication, which means that the EMA cannot accept another marketing authorization application or accept an application to extend for a similar product and the European Commission cannot grant a marketing authorization for the same indication for a period of ten years. The period of market exclusivity is extended by two years for orphan medicinal products that have also complied with an agreed PIP. The period of market exclusivity may, however, be reduced to six years if, at the end of the fifth year, it is established that the product no longer meets the criteria on the basis of which it received orphan medicinal product destination, including where it can be demonstrated on the basis of available evidence that the original orphan medicinal product is sufficiently profitable not to justify maintenance of market exclusivity or where the prevalence of the condition has increased above the threshold. Additionally, an MA may be granted to a similar medicinal product with the same orphan indication during the 10 year period if: (i) if the applicant consents to a second original orphan medicinal product application, (ii) if the manufacturer of the original orphan medicinal product is unable to supply sufficient quantities; or (iii) if the second applicant can establish that its product, although similar, is safer, more effective or otherwise clinically superior to the original orphan medicinal product. A company may voluntarily remove a product from the register of orphan products. Orphan medicinal product designation does not convey any advantage in, or shorten the duration of, the regulatory review and approval process. We have obtained orphan drug designation from the FDA for TSHA-102 for the treatment of Rett syndrome and TSHA-105 for the treatment of SLC13A5 deficiency. In addition, TSHA-118 has received orphan drug designation for the treatment of CLN1 disease from the FDA and EMA.the European Commission.
The authority for the FDA to award rare pediatric disease PRVs for drugs that have received rare pediatric disease designation currently expires on September 30, 2026.2029. Absent any extension through federal legislation, if the BLA for TSHA-102 is not approved prior to September 30, 20262029 for any reason, regardless of whether it meets the criteria for a rare pediatric disease PRV, it will not be eligible for a PRVs.PRV.
Because we have limited financial and management resources, we must focus on development programs and product candidates that we identify for specific indications. As such, we are currently primarily focused on the development of TSHA-102 (Rett syndrome). As a result, we may forego or delay pursuit of opportunities with other product candidates, including TSHA-101 (GM2 gangliosidosis), TSHA-103 (SLC6A1), TSHA-105 (SLC13A5 deficiency), TSHA-118 (CLN1 disease), and TSHA-121 (CLN7)candidates or for other indications for these product candidates that later prove to have greater commercial potential. Our resource allocation decisions, for example, our strategic prioritization in March 2022,decisions may cause us to fail to capitalize on viable commercial products or profitable market opportunities. Our spending on current and future development programs and product candidates for specific indications may not yield any commercially viable products. If we do not accurately evaluate the commercial potential or target market for a particular product candidate, we may relinquish valuable rights to that product candidate through collaboration, licensing or other royalty arrangements in cases in which it would have been more advantageous for us to retain sole development and commercialization rights to such product candidate.
We are currently conducting our Phase 1/2 adolescent and adult trial of TSHA-102 inREVEAL Canada and our Phase 1/2 pediatric trial of TSHA-102trials in the United Kingdom and Canada and plan to conduct in the future additional clinical trials for our product candidates outside the United States, and the FDA and similar foreign regulatory authorities may not accept data from such trials.
We are conducting our Phase 1/2 adolescent and adult clinical trialtrials of TSHA-102 in Canada and our Phase 1/2 pediatric clinical trial of TSHA-102 in the United Kingdom and Canada and may in the future choose to conduct additional clinical trials outside the United States, including in the United Kingdom, European Union or other foreign jurisdictions. 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 U.S. population and U.S. 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 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 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.
Our business model is centered on developing therapies for patients with rare, monogenic central nervous system, or CNS,CNS disorders by establishing focused selection criteria to select, develop and advance product candidates that we believe will have a high probability of technical and regulatory success through development into commercialization. We may not be able to continue to identify and develop new product candidates, including from our next-generation platform technologies, in addition to the pipeline of product candidates that we have established through our collaboration with UT Southwestern. Even if we are successful in continuing to build our pipeline, the potential product candidates that we identify may not be suitable for clinical development. For example, they may be shown to have harmful side effects or other characteristics that indicate that they are unlikely to be drugs that will receive marketing approval and achieve market acceptance. If we do not successfully develop and commercialize product candidates based upon our approach, we will not be able to obtain product revenue in future periods, which likely would result in significant harm to our financial position and adversely affect our stock price.
The United Kingdom’s, withdrawal from the European Union on January 31, 2020, commonly referred to as Brexit, has changed the regulatory relationship between the United Kingdom and the European Union. The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency, or MHRA, is now the United Kingdom’s standalone regulator for medicinal products and medical devices. Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales) is now a third country to the European Union. Northern Ireland will, with regard to EU regulations, continue to follow the EU regulatory rules for now.
The UK regulatory framework in relation to clinical trials is governed by the Medicines for Human Use (Clinical Trials) Regulations 2004, as amended, which is derived from the CTD, as implemented into the UK national law through secondary legislation. Following a public consultation that began in 2022, the United Kingdom government has enacted new legislation to overhaul the clinical trials regulatory framework. In April 2025, the UK adopted an amendment to the Medicines for Human Use (Clinical Trials) Regulations 2004 intended to support a more streamlined and flexible regulation of clinical trials, remove unnecessary administrative burdens on trial sponsors, and protect the interests of trial participants. It also intends to bring the UK regulatory framework for clinical trials into closer alignment with the CTR. The amendment will become applicable on April 28, 2026 following a one-year transition period. While these changes introduce efficiencies and align with some principles of the CTR, divergence between the United Kingdom and EU regulatory systems remains. Any significant divergence could affect the cost and complexity of conducting clinical trials in the United Kingdom and may impact the acceptability of United Kingdom-based trial data for seeking marketing authorizations in the EU, and vice versa.
The UK regulatory framework in relation to clinical trials is governed by the Medicines for Human Use (Clinical Trials) Regulations 2004, as amended, which is derived from the CTD, as implemented into the UK national law through secondary legislation. On January 17, 2022, the MHRA launched an eight-week consultation on reframing the UK legislation for clinical trials. The UK Government published its response to the consultation on March 21, 2023 confirming that it would bring forward changes to the legislation. These resulting legislative amendments will, if implemented in their current form, bring the UK into closer alignment with the CTR. In October 2023, the MHRA announced a new Notification Scheme for clinical trials which enables a more streamlined and risk-proportionate approach to initial clinical trial applications for Phase 4 and low-risk Phase 3 clinical trial applications.
All existing EU marketing authorizations for centrally authorized products were automatically converted or grandfathered into UK marketing authorizations, effective in the United Kingdom only, free of charge on January 1, 2021, unless the marketing authorization holder opted-out of this possibility. Northern Ireland remained within the scope of EU authorizations in relation to centrally authorized medicinal products until January 1, 2025. However, on January 1, 2025, a new arrangement as part of the so-called “Windsor Framework” came into effect and reintegrated Northern Ireland under the regulatory authority of the MHRA with respect to medicinal products. The Windsor Framework removes EU licensing processesproducts and EU labelling and serialization requirements in relation to Northern Ireland and introducesintroduced a UK-wide licensing process for medicines.
Further, the U.S. government, state legislatures and foreign governments have continued implementing cost-containment programs, including price controls, restrictions on coverage and reimbursement and requirements for substitution of generic products. For example, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, or HHS, imposes rebates on many Medicare Part B and Medicare Part D products to penalize price increases that outpace inflation on an annual basis. HHS has also been empowered to negotiate the price of certain single-source biologics that have been on the market for at least 11 years covered under Medicare as part of the Medicare Drug Price Negotiation Program. Each year up to twenty (20) products will be selected by HHS for the Medicare Drug Price Negotiation Program. Products subject to the Medicare Drug Price Negotiation Program are expected to experience a significant reduction in reimbursement from the Medicare program on a per unit basis.
the federal Anti-Kickback Statute, which prohibits, among other things, individuals or entities from knowingly and willfully soliciting, receiving, offering or paying any remuneration (including any kickback, bribe or rebate), directly or indirectly, overtly or covertly, in cash or in kind in return for, or to induce, either the referral of an individual, or the purchase, lease, order or arrangement for or recommendation of the purchase, lease, order or arrangement for any good, facility, item or service for which payment may be made, in whole or in part, under a federal healthcare program, such as the Medicare and Medicaid programs. The term “remuneration” has been broadly interpreted to include anything of value. Although there are a number of statutory exceptions and regulatory safe harbors protecting some common activities from prosecution, the exceptions and safe harbors are drawn narrowly. Practices that involve remuneration that may be alleged to be intended to induce prescribing, purchases or recommendations may be subject to scrutiny if they do not qualify for an exception or safe harbor. A person does not need to have actual knowledge of this statute or specific intent to violate it in order to have committed a violation. In addition, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act, or collectively, the ACA, signed into law in 2010, provides that the government may assert that a claim including items or services resulting from a violation of the federal Anti-Kickback Statute constitutes a false or fraudulent claim for purposes of the federal False Claims Act;
Even if we obtain FDA or EMAEuropean Commission approval any of our product candidates in the United States or European Union, we may never obtain approval for or commercialize any of them in any other jurisdiction, which would limit our ability to realize their full market potential.
Among policy makers and payors in the United States and elsewhere, there is significant interest in promoting changes in healthcare systems with the stated goals of containing healthcare costs, improving quality and/or expanding access. In the United States, the pharmaceutical industry has been a particular focus of these efforts and has been significantly affected by major legislative initiatives. For example, inThe MarchPatient 2010,Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the ACAHealth wasCare passed,and whichEducation Reconciliation Act, or collectively the ACA, substantially changed the way healthcare is financed by both the government and private insurers, and significantly impacts the U.S. pharmaceutical industry.
Other legislative changes have been proposed and adopted since the ACA was enacted. For example, on July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, or the OBBBA, was signed into law, which narrowed access to ACA marketplace exchange enrollment and declined to extend the ACA enhanced advanced premium tax credits that expired at the end of 2025, which, among other provisions in the law, are anticipated to reduce the number of Americans with health insurance. The OBBBA also is expected to reduce Medicaid spending and enrollment by implementing work requirements for some beneficiaries, capping state-directed payments, reducing federal funding, and limiting provider taxes used to fund the program. Congress is considering proposed legislation intended to further reduce healthcare costs with alternatives to replace the expired ACA subsidies. We expect that additional U.S. federal healthcare reform measures will be adopted in the future, any of which could limit the amounts that the U.S. federal government will pay for healthcare products and services, which could result in reduced demand for our product candidates or additional pricing pressures.
The current administration is pursuing policies to reduce regulations and expenditures across government agencies including at HHS, the FDA, CMS and related agencies. These actions, presently directed by executive orders or memoranda from the Office of Management and Budget, may propose policy changes that create additional uncertainty for our business. For example, the current administration has announced agreements with several pharmaceutical companies that require the drug manufacturers to offer, through a direct to consumer platform, U.S. patients and Medicaid programs prescription drug Most-Favored Nation pricing equal to or lower than those paid in other developed nations, with additional mandates for direct-to-patient discounts and repatriation of foreign revenues. Other recent actions, for example, include (1) directing agencies to reduce agency workforce and cut programs; (2) directing HHS and other agencies to lower prescription drug costs through a variety of initiatives, including by improving upon the Medicare Drug Price Negotiation Program and establishing Most-Favored-Nation pricing for pharmaceutical products; (3) imposing tariffs on imported pharmaceutical products; and (4) as part of the Make America Healthy Again, or MAHA, Commission’s Strategy Report released in September 2025, working across government agencies to increase enforcement on direct-to-consumer pharmaceutical advertising. Additionally, the current administration recently called on Congress to enact "The Great Healthcare Plan," to codify and expand Most-Favored Nation pricing, lower government subsidies to private insurance companies, increase healthcare price transparency, expand pharmaceutical drugs available for over-the-counter purchase, and enact restrictions on pharmacy benefit manager, or PBM, payment methodologies, among other things. These actions and policies may significantly reduce U.S. drug prices, potentially impacting manufacturers’ global pricing strategies and profitability, while increasing their operational costs and compliance risks. In June 2024, the U.S. Supreme Court’s Loper Bright decision greatly reduced judicial deference to regulatory agencies, which could increase successful legal challenges to federal regulations affecting our operations. Congress may introduce and ultimately pass health care related legislation that could impact the drug approval process and make changes to the Medicare Drug Price Negotiation Program created under the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, or IRA.
At the state level, legislatures have increasingly passed legislation and implemented regulations designed to control pharmaceutical and biological product pricing, including price or patient reimbursement constraints, discounts, restrictions on certain product access and marketing cost disclosure and transparency measures, and, in some cases, designed to encourage importation from other countries and bulk purchasing.
There have been judicial, congressional, and executive branch challenges to certain aspects of the ACA, including efforts to repeal or replace certain aspects of the ACA. For example, on August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, or the IRA, was signed into law, which among other things, extends enhanced subsidies for individuals purchasing health insurance coverage in ACA marketplaces through plan year 2025. The IRA also eliminates the “donut hole” under the Medicare Part D program beginning in 2025 by significantly lowering the beneficiary maximum out-of-pocket cost and creating a new manufacturer discount program. It is possible that the ACA will be subject to judicial or Congressional challenges in the future. It is also unclear how any additional healthcare reform measures of the second Trump administration will impact the ACA and our business.
Other legislative changes have been proposed and adopted since the ACA was enacted. These changes include aggregate reductions to Medicare payments to providers of 2% per fiscal year pursuant to the Budget Control Act of 2011, which began in 2013, and due to subsequent legislative amendments to the statute, will remain in effect until 2032, unless additional congressional action is taken. These laws may result in additional reductions in Medicare and other healthcare funding, which could have an adverse effect on customers for our product candidates, if approved, and, accordingly, our financial operations. Additionally, on March 11, 2021, the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 was signed into law, which eliminates the statutory Medicaid drug rebate cap, currently set at 100% of a drug’s average manufacturer price, for single source and innovator multiple source drugs, effective January 1, 2024.
Additionally, there has been heightened governmental scrutiny in the United States of pharmaceutical pricing practices in light of the rising cost of prescription drugs and biologics. Such scrutiny has resulted in several recent Presidential executive orders, congressional inquiries and proposed and enacted federal and state legislation designed to, among other things, bring more transparency to product pricing, review the relationship between pricing and manufacturer patient programs, and reform government program reimbursement methodologies for products. At the federal level, the IRA, among other things, (i) directs HHS to negotiate the price of certain high-expenditure, single-source biologics that have been on the market for at least 11 years covered under Medicare, or the Medicare Drug Price Negotiation Program, and subject drug manufacturers to civil monetary penalties and a potential excise tax by offering a price that is not equal to or less than the negotiated “maximum fair price” for such drugs and biologics under the law, and (ii) imposes rebates with respect to certain drugs and biologics covered under Medicare Part B or Medicare Part D to penalize price increases that outpace inflation. The IRA permits HHS to implement many of these provisions through guidance, as opposed to regulation, for the initial years. These provisions began to take effect progressively starting in fiscal year 2023. On August 15, 2024, HHS announced the agreed-upon price of the first ten drugs that were subject to price negotiations, although the Medicare Drug Price Negotiation Program is currently subject to legal challenges. On January 17, 2025, HHS selected fifteen additional products covered under Part D for price negotiation in 2025. Each year thereafter more Part B and Part D products will become subject to the Medicare Drug Price Negotiation Program. Further, on December 7, 2023, an initiative to control the price of prescription drugs through the use of march-in rights under the Bayh-Dole Act was announced. On December 8, 2023, the National Institute of Standards and Technology published for comment a Draft Interagency Guidance Framework for Considering the Exercise of March-In Rights which for the first time includes the price of a product as one factor an agency can use when deciding to exercise march-in rights. While march-in rights have not previously been exercised, it is uncertain if that will continue under the new framework. At the state level, legislatures have increasingly passed legislation and implemented regulations designed to control pharmaceutical and biological product pricing, including price or patient reimbursement constraints, discounts, restrictions on certain product access and marketing cost disclosure and transparency measures, and, in some cases, designed to encourage importation from other countries and bulk purchasing.
For instance, the regulatory landscape related to clinical trials in the European Union recently evolved. The EU Clinical Trials Regulation, or CTR, which was adopted in April 2014 and repeals the EU Clinical Trials Directive, became applicable on January 31, 2022. The CTR allows sponsors to make a single submission to both the competent authority and an ethics committee in each EU Member State, leading to a single decision for each EU Member State. The assessment procedure for the authorization of clinical trials has been harmonized as well, including a joint assessment by all EU Member States concerned, and a separate assessment by each EU Member State with respect to specific requirements related to its own territory, including ethics rules. Each EU Member State’s decision is communicated to the sponsor via the centralized EU portal. Once the clinical trial is approved, clinical study development may proceed. The CTR foresees aforesaw three-year transition period. The extent to which ongoing and new clinical trials will be governed by the CTR varies. For clinical trials in relation to which application for approval was made on the basis of the Clinical Trials Directive before January 31, 2023, the Clinical Trials Directive continued to apply on a transitional basisperiod until January 31, 2025,2025. bySince whichthis date all ongoing trials under the Clinical Trials Directive became subject to the provisions of the CTR anddate, all new and ongoing trials since January 31, 2023 have been subject to the CTR. Compliance with the CTR requirements by us and our third-party service providers, such as CROs, may impact our developments plans.
In addition, on January 12, 2025, Regulation (EU) 2021/2282 on Health Technology Assessment, or the HTA Regulation, entered into application through a phased implementation. It is intended to increase cooperation among EU Member States in assessing clinical aspects of health technologies, including new medicinal products, by establishing a framework for joint clinical assessments, joint scientific consultations, and the early identification of emerging health technologies. The Regulation permits EU Member States to use common tools, methodologies, and procedures and requires them to rely on EU‑level joint clinical assessment reports for the clinical components of their national HTA evaluations. EU Member States, however, remain responsible for assessing non‑clinical aspects, such as economic, ethical, and social considerations, and for making pricing and reimbursement decisions at the national level. As implementation of the HTA Regulation is phased in and key methodological and procedural guidance continues to evolve, there remains uncertainty regarding the evidence requirements, timing, and impact of joint clinical assessments on national reimbursement processes. The new framework may result in additional or differently structured evidentiary expectations, misalignment between assessment and regulatory timelines, or delays in national decisions. Any adverse or delayed HTA outcomes, or divergent national reimbursement decisions, could negatively affect our ability to obtain or maintain favorable pricing and reimbursement status for any product candidates, if approved. If we are unable to maintain favorable pricing and reimbursement status in EU Member States for product candidates that we may successfully develop and for which we may obtain regulatory approval, any anticipated revenue from and growth prospects for those products in the EU could be negatively affected.
Following the United Kingdom’s departure from the EU, the HTA Regulation does not apply in the UK; however, the MHRA and UK HTA bodies, including NICE, the SMC, and the All‑Wales Medicines Strategy Group, are developing new pathways intended to support the timely and efficient development and assessment of innovative medicinal products. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain or sustain favorable pricing or reimbursement in the UK under these evolving frameworks, and any such inability could materially and adversely affect our anticipated revenues and growth prospects in that market.
Furthermore, on December 11, 2025, the European Commission, the Parliament and the European Council reached a political agreement on a comprehensive overhaul of EU pharmaceutical legislation, or the Pharma Package. The reform has been under negotiation since the European Commission submitted its proposal in April 2023. This package - comprised of a new directive and regulation to replace existing legislation – aims to modernize the EU framework. The political agreement is still subject to formal approval by the European Parliament and Council. If approved in the form proposed, the Pharma Package will, among other changes, reduce the baseline market protection period by one year, with limited opportunities for extensions, capped at a maximum of eleven years; reshape the incentives regime for orphan medicinal products, by introducing “breakthrough” orphan medicinal products – those addressing diseases with no available medicinal treatment – which will benefit from 11 years of market exclusivity. A decrease in market exclusivity opportunities for our product candidates in the EU could open them to generic or biosimilar competition earlier than under the current regime, potentially impacting reimbursement status and the commercial prospects of our product candidates. If we are slow or unable to adapt to changes in existing requirements or the adoption of new requirements or policies, our development plans may be impacted.
In addition, on April 26, 2023, the European Commission adopted a proposal for a new Directive and Regulation to revise the existing pharmaceutical legislation. The proposed revisions remain to be agreed and adopted by the European Council. Moreover, on December 1, 2024, a new European Commission took office. The proposal could, therefore, still be subject to revisions. If adopted in the form proposed, the recent European Commission proposals to revise the existing EU laws governing authorization of medicinal products may result in a decrease in data and market exclusivity opportunities for our product candidates in the European Union and make them open to generic or biosimilar competition earlier than is currently the case with a related reduction in reimbursement status.
If we are slow or unable to adapt to changes in existing requirements or the adoption of new requirements or policies, our development plans may be impacted.
Disruptions at the FDA and other agencies and comparable regulatory authorities may also slow the time necessary for new drugs or biologics to be reviewed and/or approved by necessary government agencies and regulatory authorities, which would adversely affect our business. For example, over the last several years, including most recently fromin DecemberOctober 22, 2018 to January 25, 2019,2025, the U.S. government has shut down several times and certain regulatory agencies, such as the FDA and the SEC, have had to furlough critical FDA, SEC and other government employees and stop critical activities. If the current government shutdown continues or a prolonged government shutdown occurs, 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.
The ability of the FDA and other government agencies to properly administer their functions is highly dependent on the levels of government funding and the ability to fill key leadership appointments, among various factors. Delays in filling or replacing key positions could significantly impact the ability of the FDA and other agencies to fulfill their functions, and could greatly impact healthcare and the pharmaceutical industry. In addition, the current administration has implemented substantial reductions in force at various government agencies including the FDA, which could significantly reduce the FDA’s capacity to perform its functions in a manner consistent with its past practices and could delay reviews and negatively impact our business. There is increased uncertainty as to how the FDA and other regulatory agencies will regulate our products.
We are subject to legal proceedings and claims from time to time that may seek material damages or otherwise may have a material adverse effect on our business. For example, in January 2024 and April 2024, we were named a nominal defendant in stockholder derivative lawsuits asserting claims against certain of our current and former directors, among others, in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware. These lawsuits, which have since been consolidated, seek, among other relief, a declaration that certain defendants were unjustly enriched, unspecified monetary damages, disgorgement of certain alleged profits received by defendants, and reasonable costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, and other relief. We have not recorded a liability related to these lawsuits because, at this time, we are unable to reasonably estimate possible losses or gains or determine whether an unfavorable outcome is either probable or remote. Our board of directors has formed a special litigation committee to investigate the claims and allegations in the amended complaint. On March 3, 2026, the special litigation committee moved to terminate the action, stating its conclusion that dismissal is in the best interest of the company and its stockholders. In connection with an investigation captioned In the Matter of Taysha Gene Therapies, Inc. (D-04192), we and certain of our officers and directors received subpoenas in late 2024 from the SEC for materials relating to our August 2023 PIPE and certain public offerings. The SEC investigation is neither a determination that the Company or any individuals have violated any law nor a charge of any wrongdoing. See “Item 3-Legal Proceedings” and “Part II, Item 8, Note 13-Commitments and Contingencies” in the 2024 Form 10-K for more information and “Part I, Item 2, Note 13-Commitments and Contingencies” in our First Quarter 2025 Form 10-Q for more information about each of these matters.
We are subject to legal proceedings and claims from time to time that may seek material damages or otherwise may have a material adverse effect on our business. For example, in January 2024 and April 2024, we were named a nominal defendant in stockholder derivative lawsuits asserting claims against certain of our current and former directors, among others, in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware. These lawsuits, which have since been consolidated, seek unspecified monetary damages, disgorgement of profits, and reasonable costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, and other relief. See “Item 3-Legal Proceedings” and “Part II, Item 8, Note 13-Commitments and Contingencies” in this Annual Report for more information. Due to the inherent uncertainties in legal proceedings, we cannot accurately predict the ultimate outcome of any such proceedings. This or any future litigation, regardless of the merits of any such proceeding, could harm our reputation and result in substantial costs and diversion of management’s attention and resources, which could adversely impact our business. Although we have directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, it provides for a substantial retention of liability and is subject to limitations and may not cover a significant portion, or any, of the expenses or liabilities we may incur or be subject to in connection with these lawsuits or other litigation to which we are party. The costs we incur in defending ourselves or associated with settling such proceedings, as well as a material final judgment or decree against us, that are not covered by our directors’ and officers’ liability insurance could materially adversely affect our financial condition. In addition, additional lawsuits may be filed, the conclusion of which in a manner adverse to us and for which we incur substantial costs or damages not covered by our directors’ and officers’ liability insurance could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and business.
In March 2022, as part of our strategic prioritization initiatives to improve operating efficiency, we reduced our headcount by approximately 35%, and throughout 2022 and early 2023 we further reduced headcount, including the separations of our former Chief Executive Officer, Chief Medical Officer and Chief Development Officer. These reductions resulted in a year-over-year reduction in headcount of 63% at December 31, 2022 as compared to December 31, 2021. As of December 31, 2023, we had 52 employees. As a result of our headcount reductions, we have engaged various outside consultants, principally in the areas of clinical development and clinical operations. Although we believe these employee transitions are in the best interest of our company and our stockholders, these transitions may result in the loss of personnel with deep institutional or technical knowledge. Further, the transition could potentially disrupt our operations and relationships with employees, suppliers and partners and due to added costs, operational inefficiencies, decreased employee morale and productivity and increased turnover. In addition, our competitors may seek to use these transitions and the related potential disruptions to gain a competitive advantage over us. Furthermore, these changes increase our dependency on the other members of our leadership team and clinical and preclinical operations teams that remain with us, who are not contractually obligated to remain employed with us and may leave at any time. Any such departure could be particularly disruptive and, to the extent we experience additional turnover, competition for top talent is high such that it may take some time to find a candidate that meets our requirements. Our future operating results depend substantially upon the continued service of our key personnel and in significant part upon our ability to attract and retain qualified management personnel. If we are unable to mitigate these or other similar risks, our business, results of operation and financial condition may be adversely affected.
Our stock price may be volatile. The stock market in general and the market for biopharmaceutical companies in particular have experienced extreme volatility that has often been unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. Specifically, from September 24, 2020, the date our stock began trading on Nasdaq, through FebruaryMarch 25,18, 20252026 our stock price fluctuated from a low of $0.50 to a high of $33.35 per share. As a result of this volatility, investors may not be able to sell their common stock at or above the price paid for the shares. The market price for our common stock may be influenced by many factors, including:
failure by us to comply with the terms of the 2025 Trinity Term Loan Agreement;
An active trading market for our common stock may not continue to be developed or sustained.

We are evaluating TSHA-102 for the treatment of females with Rett syndrome in our REVEAL and ASPIRE clinical trials.
The REVEAL Phase 1/2 Adolescent and Adult Trial, also known as Part A, is a first-in-human, open-label, randomized, dose-escalation and dose-expansion study evaluating the safety and preliminary efficacy of TSHA-102 as a single lumbar intrathecal administration in adolescent and adult females aged 12 years and older with Rett syndrome due to MECP2 loss-of-function mutation. The trial is taking place in Canada and the United States. A total of six participants aged 15 to 21 years were treated with TSHA-102 in this study, and enrollment for this trial is complete. Part A also includes the REVEAL Phase 1/2 Pediatric Trial, which is a first-in-human, open-label, randomized, dose-escalation and dose-expansion study evaluating the safety and preliminary efficacy of TSHA-102 as a single lumbar intrathecal administration in pediatric females aged 5 to 8 years with Rett syndrome due to MECP2 loss-of-function mutation. The trial is taking place in the United States and Canada. A total of six participants aged 6 to 8 years were treated with TSHA-102 in this study, and enrollment for this trial is also complete.
We have completed dosing of the 12 patients in Part A of both REVEAL trials, which includes eight patients in cohort two (high dose, 1x1015 total vg) and four patients in cohort one (low dose, 5.7x1014 total vg). We reported positive clinical data in May 2025, demonstrating that all patients gained or regained one or more developmental milestone across communication, fine motor and gross motor function following administration of TSHA-102 as of the May 19, 2025, data cutoff. Patients also showed improvements across multiple standardized Rett syndrome assessments. There have been no treatment-related serious adverse events or dose-limiting toxicities across the 12 patients treated with TSHA-102 as of the March 2026 data cutoff. An update on longer-term safety and efficacy data from the Part A REVEAL Phase 1/2 trials is expected in the second quarter of 2026.
The TSHA-102 clinical development program is designed to support the potential future approval of TSHA-102 for a broad population of patients aged 2 years and older with Rett syndrome through an efficient and rigorously designed pathway. In close collaboration with the FDA, Taysha designed the TSHA-102 pivotal program so that efficacy data from the REVEAL pivotal trial in participants aged 6 to <22 years who have reached developmental plateau can be used to represent patients aged 2 to <6 years, while safety data in younger children are generated through the separate ASPIRE trial to support the potential for a broad label for TSHA-102.
The REVEAL pivotal trial, also known as Part B, is a single-arm, open-label study evaluating the efficacy and safety of TSHA-102 in females with Rett syndrome, with each patient serving as their own control. Each participant will receive a single administration of the high dose (1x1015 total vg) of TSHA-102 delivered by lumbar intrathecal injection. The study will enroll 15 females aged 6 to <22 years in the developmental plateau population of Rett syndrome; these patients have an exceedingly low likelihood (0% to <6.7%) of gaining new or regaining developmental milestones that were lost after a defined number of years, based on our analysis of the NIH-funded International Rett Syndrome Foundation’s natural history study data. The primary endpoint will assess response rate, defined as the percentage of patients who gain or regain at least one developmental milestone from a list of 28 defined milestones across the core functional domains of communication, fine motor and gross motor, following administration of TSHA-102. Standardized milestone assessments will be administered and captured on video at pre- and post-treatment timepoints, with determination of milestone gain/regain upon video-evidence review by independent, blinded central raters based on prespecified definitions of achievement for each milestone.
We have finalized FDA alignment on the REVEAL pivotal trial protocol and statistical analysis plan, which includes a 6-month interim analysis that may serve as the basis for BLA submission. Multiple patients have been dosed in the REVEAL pivotal trial, with the first patient dosed in the fourth quarter of 2025. Additional patient enrollment continues to advance across multiple clinical trial sites. There have been no treatment-related serious adverse events or dose-limiting toxicities across the participants treated with TSHA-102 in the REVEAL pivotal trial as of the March 2026 cutoff. We expect to complete dosing of all patients in the REVEAL pivotal trial in the second quarter of 2026.
We also obtained written alignment from the FDA on an extrapolation approach in a separate safety-focused study, the ASPIRE trial, and the data for inclusion in the planned BLA submission to enable broad labeling of TSHA-102 for patients aged ≥2 years with Rett syndrome. ASPIRE will enroll three females aged 2 to <4 years with Rett syndrome to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of a single IT administration of high dose TSHA-102 (1x1015 total vg), scaled to account for the lower brain volume in 2 to <4‑year‑olds. A minimum of three months of ASPIRE safety data will be included in the planned BLA submission, while efficacy in the 2 to <4-year-old population will be extrapolated from data collected in the REVEAL pivotal trial, to support the potential for a broad label for TSHA-102 in patients aged ≥2 years with Rett syndrome. We expect to complete dosing in the ASPIRE trial in the second quarter of 2026.
We currently are conducting two Phase 1/2 clinical trials for TSHA-102: an adolescent/adult study in the United States and Canada and a pediatric study in the United States. In addition, we received approval to expand the pediatric study into the United Kingdom in 2024 following clearance of the CTA by the U.K. MHRA and received approval to expand the pediatric study into Canada in 2024 following clearance of the CTA by Health Canada.
In early 2025, we announced the completion of dosing of the 10 patients in Part A, the dose escalation portion of both REVEAL Phase 1/2 trials, that is expected to serve as primary dataset to support advancement toward the Part B registrational trial. Cohort one (low dose cohort of 5.7x1014 total vg) consists of four patients and cohort two (high dose cohort of 1x1015 total vg) consists of six patients across both REVEAL trials. In early 2025, we announced TSHA-102 was generally well-tolerated with no serious adverse events (SAEs) or dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) related to TSHA-102 in the 10 pediatric, adolescent and adult patients dosed across the two REVEAL Phase 1/2 trials as of the February 17, 2025, data cutoff.
We have received orphan drug designation and rare pediatric disease designation from the United States Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, and orphan drug designation from the European Commission for TSHA-102 for the treatment of Rett syndrome. We also received Fast Track Designation from the FDA for TSHA-102 for the treatment of Rett syndrome. We also received CTA clearance from the United Kingdom’s Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency, or U.K. MHRA, in early 2024 for pediatric patients with Rett syndrome. In February 2024, we received Innovative Licensing and Access Pathway, or ILAP, designation for TSHA-102 from the U.K. MHRA. The ILAP aims to facilitate patient access to novel treatments by accelerating time to market through opportunities for enhanced engagements with U.K. regulatory authorities and other stakeholders. In April 2024, the FDA granted Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy, or RMAT, designation for TSHA-102 in Rett syndrome. Sponsor companies receiving RMAT designation can benefit from increased interactions with the FDA involving senior managers, with the goal of expediting drug development.
We completed a CMC-focused Type D with the FDA in the fourth quarter of 2024. The FDA endorsed our intended Good Manufacturing Practice, or GMP, commercial manufacturing process, proposed analytical methods, and corresponding qualification and validation plans, including key mechanism of action potency release assays. We also established analytical comparability between the clinical product and the product derived from the final commercial manufacturing process, and received FDA permission to use the GMP product in future clinical studies of TSHA-102.
We have a limited operating history. Since our inception, our operations have focused on organizing and staffing our company, business planning, raising capital and entering into collaboration agreements for conducting preclinical and clinical development activities for our product candidates.

costs related to manufacturing material for our preclinical studies and clinical trials, including fees paid to contract manufacturing organizations, or CMOs;
Research and development activities are central to our business model. Product candidates in later stages of clinical development generally have higher development costs than those in earlier stages of clinical development, primarily due to the increased size and duration of later-stage clinical trials. We have increased, and expect to continue to increase for the foreseeable future, our research and development spend with respect to the Rett clinical trials as we continue the development of TSHA-102 and manufacturing processes and begin commercialization activities and conduct discovery and research activities for our preclinical programs. We cannot determine with certainty the timing of initiation, the duration or the completion costs of current or future preclinical studies and clinical trials of our product candidates due to the inherently unpredictable nature of preclinical and clinical development. Clinical and preclinical development timelines, the probability of success and development costs can differ materially from expectations. We anticipate that we will make determinations as to which product candidates to pursue and how much funding to direct to each product candidate on an ongoing basis in response to the results of ongoing and future preclinical studies and clinical trials, regulatory developments and our ongoing assessments as to each product candidate’s commercial potential. We will need to raise substantial additional capital in the future. Our clinical development costs are expected to increase significantly as we commence clinical trials. Our future expenses may vary significantly each period based on factors such as:
General and administrative expenses consist or will consist principally of salaries and related costs for personnel in executive and administrative functions, including stock-based compensation, travel expenses and recruiting expenses. Other general and administrative expenses include professional fees for legal, consulting, accounting and audit and tax-related services and insurance costs.
Impairment of long-lived assets are the result of an asset group's carrying value exceeding the fair value. In November 2022, we decided not to continue building out our manufacturing facility in North Carolina. We recorded a non-cash impairment charge related to the construction in progress and right-of-use lease assets at the manufacturing facility. We recorded additional impairment charges related to the construction in progress and assets held for sale at the manufacturing facility in the yearsyear ended December 31, 2023 and 2024.
Other income (expense) consists primarily of dividends earned from our money market fund and interest income on our cash and cash equivalents, interest expense on borrowings under the Trinity Term Loan,equivalents and non-cash changes in the fair value of our outstanding warrant liability and the 2025 Trinity Term Loan.

Revenue for the years ended December 31, 20242025 and 20232024 was derived entirely from the Astellas Transactions. The revenue recorded for the year ended December 31, 2025 is the result of Rett syndrome research and development activities performed during the year of $4.3 million and the expiration of the material right associated with the Rett Option of $5.5 million. The revenue recorded for the year ended December 31, 2024 is the result of Rett syndrome research and development activities performed during the year of $8.3 million. The revenue recorded for the year ended December 31, 2023 is the result of Rett syndrome research and development activities performed during the year of $13.2 million and the expiration of the material right associated with the GAN Option of $2.3 million.
Research and development expenses were $86.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $66.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $56.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2023.2024. The $9.2$20.4 million increase was primarily driven by higher compensation expenses due to increased research and development headcount.

General and administrative expenses were $33.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $29.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase of $4.9 million was primarily due to higher compensation expenses and legal and professional fees as well as debt issuance costs incurred in connection with the 2025 Trinity Term Loan that are recorded in general and administrative expense under the fair value option.
General and administrative expenses were $29.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $30.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease of $1.0 million was primarily due to the issuance costs allocated to the liability-classified 2023 Pre-Funded Warrants (as defined below) during the year ended December 31, 2023 as a result of the August 2023 Private Placement, which did not occur in 2024.
We did not record any non-cash impairment charge in the year ended December 31, 2025. We recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $4.8 million related to our manufacturing facility for the year ended December 31, 2024.
We recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $4.8 million related to our manufacturing facility and assets previously classified as held for sale which were marketed for sale or sublease for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Change in fair value of warrant liability was a non-cash loss totaling $1.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 related to the SSI Warrants (as defined below) compared to a non-cash gain of less than $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 related to the SSI Warrants.
Change in fair value of warrant liability was a non-cash gain totaling less than $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 related to the SSI Warrants (as defined below) compared to a non-cash expense totaling $34.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 related to the 2023 Pre-Funded Warrants and the SSI Warrants. The expense for the year ended December 31, 2023 is primarily due to the substantial increase in the fair value of the common stock underlying the Pre-Funded Warrants from the date of issuance through the date the warrants were reclassified into equity, which resulted in a non-recurring expense of $34.5 million. As the Pre-Funded Warrants were classified into equity during the year ended December 31, 2023, there will be no additional fair value adjustments related to these warrants. The change in fair value related to the SSI Warrants was $0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2023.
We elected the fair value option for the 2025 Trinity Term Loan and changes to fair value, other than changes that are directly attributed to instrument-specific credit risk, were recorded as a component of other income (expense). The change in fair value was $6.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to $4.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Loss on debt extinguishment
Loss on debt extinguishment was a non-recurring expense totaling $1.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 due to the early payoff of the Term Loan with Silicon Valley Bank in November 2023.
Interest income was $9.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to $6.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to $3.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2023.2024.

Interest expense was $0.1 million for each of the yearyears ended December 31, 2024,2025 comparedand to $5.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease of $4.9 million was primarily attributable to interest expense incurred under the Term Loan Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank during the year ended December 31, 2023.2024. No interest expense was recorded on the Trinityterm Term Loanloans for the periodyears ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 due to the election of the fair value option.
Since our inception, we have not generated any revenue from product sales and have incurred significant operating losses. As of December 31, 2024,2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $139.0$319.8 million. Through December 31, 2024,2025, we have funded our operations primarily through equity financings, raising an aggregate of $671.0$961 million in gross proceeds from equity financings, including from pre-IPO private placements of convertible preferred stock, our IPO, and subsequent sales of common stock in public and private securities offerings, proceeds from a warrant exercise, our term loans and the Astellas Transactions.

The REVEAL Phase 1/2 Adolescent and Adult Trial, also known as Part A, is a first-in-human, open-label, randomized, dose-escalation and dose-expansion study evaluating the safety and preliminary efficacy of TSHA-102 as a single lumbar intrathecal administration in adolescent and adult females aged 12 years and older with Rett syndrome due to MECP2 loss-of-function mutation. The trial is taking place in Canada and the United States. A total of six participantspatients aged 15 to 21 years were treated with TSHA-102 in this study, and enrollment for this trial is complete. Part A also includes the REVEAL Phase 1/2 Pediatric Trial, which is a first-in-human, open-label, randomized, dose-escalation and dose-expansion study evaluating the safety and preliminary efficacy of TSHA-102 as a single lumbar intrathecal administration in pediatric females aged 5 to 8 years with Rett syndrome due to MECP2 loss-of-function mutation. The trial is taking place in the United States and Canada. A total of six participantspatients aged 6 to 8 years were treated with TSHA-102 in this study, and enrollment for this trial is also complete.
We have completed dosing of the 12 patients aged 6 to 21 years in Part A of both REVEAL trials, which includes eight patients in cohort two (high dose, 1x1015 total vg) and four patients in cohort one (low dose, 5.7x1014 total vg).
Longer-Term Results from Part A of REVEAL Trials as of May 2026 Data Cutoff
Developmental milestones are defined as a functional gain of one or more of the 28 milestones defined in the natural history study. This is the primary evidence of efficacy that will support our planned BLA submission and the FDA’s review of efficacy in the REVEAL pivotal trial. In REVEAL Part A, developmental milestones were assessed by multiple independent raters through video-evidenced evaluation.
The 12 patients treated in REVEAL Part A ranged from 6 to 21 years of age at dosing, with post-treatment follow-up spanning 12 to 30 months. We enrolled patients across a broad spectrum of disease severity, as assessed by the Clinical Global Impression-Severity, or CGI-S, scale, a 7-point, clinician-rated assessment of illness severity ranging from 1 (normal/not at all ill) to 7 (among the most extremely ill). Baseline scores ranged from 4 to 6, reflecting moderately to severely ill patients.
As of the May 2026 data cutoff, 100% of the 12 patients in REVEAL Part A gained or regained ≥ one developmental milestone across the core functional domains of fine motor, gross motor and communication post-treatment with TSHA-102. These results were seen despite the broad range in age and disease severity, as depicted below:
Based on May 2026 data cutoff (N=12). Developmental milestone gains and regains were assessed by multiple independent central raters through video evidence.
A total of 31 developmental milestones were achieved across the 12 patients post-treatment, spanning the core functional domains of Rett syndrome of communication, fine motor, and gross motor function. These achievements represent the breadth of response demonstrated and reflect meaningful improvements in daily living that are important to caregivers, families, and clinicians. The milestones achieved are depicted below:
Based on May 2026 data cutoff (N=12). Developmental milestone gains and regains were assessed by multiple independent central raters through video evidence.
Many patients achieved milestones as early as 3 months post-TSHA-102. These gains were persistent, and patients continued to accumulate additional milestones over time across all three core disease domains. The total number of developmental milestones achieved across the patients increased from 16 at 6 months to 27 at 12 months, representing a 69% increase, and to 31 at ≥12 months, representing a 94% increase. The majority of patients achieved multiple developmental milestones, with 75% of high-dose patients achieving two developmental milestones or more post-TSHA-102.
Based on May 2026 data cutoff (N=12). Developmental milestone gain and regains were assessed by multiple independent central rates though video evidence.
*N=7 patients with data >12 months post TSHA-102 and N=5 patients with 12-month data.
We also observed clinically meaningful skill gains and improvements in core disease characteristics beyond the 28 natural history-defined developmental milestones, which were assessed through rigorous video-evidenced evaluation and validated scales.
Together, the developmental milestones and additional skills and improvements reflect the totality of functional gains seen post-TSHA-102 that impact activities of daily living. At ≥12 months post-TSHA-102, a total of 310 functional gains were observed, translating to an average of 26 per patient. We believe these durable, multi-domain functional gains that accumulated over time reflect the broad functional impact of TSHA-102.
A summary of the total functional gains seen post-TSHA-102 is depicted in the chart below:
Based on May 2026 data cutoff (N=12).
1Gain/regain of ≥1 of the 28 natural history-defined developmental milestones from the REVEAL pivotal trial primary endpoint.
2Skill gains/improvements derived from MSEL-A, R-MBA and ORCA: N=8 patients with ORCA data, N=7 with MSEL-A data, and N=12 with R-MBA data.
*N=7 patients with data >12 months post-TSHA-102, N=5 patients with 12-month data.
Improvements were also observed across multiple clinician-assessed outcome measures, including Revised Motor Behavior Assessment, or R-MBA, Clinician Global Impression – Improvement, or CGI-I, and CGI-S, all of which corroborated the functional gains demonstrated post-TSHA-102.
R-MBA demonstrated a consistent and robust treatment effect across all 12 patients at both 6- and 12-months post-TSHA-102. Mean change from baseline showed statistically significant improvement at both time points compared to natural history data, as depicted in the graph below, which suggests a reversal of the expected disease trajectory. The treatment effect demonstrated greater statistical separation from natural history at 12 months than at 6 months, as reflected by a lower p-value. Beyond 12 months, the treatment effect continued to increase, with a clear dose-dependent separation. At ≥18 months, high-dose patients achieved a mean improvement of 15.7 points compared to 7.8 points in the low-dose cohort. We believe these results support the therapeutic potential of TSHA-102.

ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT02738281: a prospective cohort of individuals with a pathologic mutation in the MECP2 gene, commonly associated with RTT.
TSHA-102 drove early, sustained global improvement in CGI-I, with dose-dependent effects that deepened overtime, as summarized in the table below. 100% of the patients demonstrated an improved CGI-I score of 3 or less at multiple post-treatment assessments. Mean CGI-I scores in the high dose cohort were less than 3 at all assessments and improved overtime, reaching 1.7 in the high-dose cohort at 18 months post-treatment.
Based on May 2026 data cutoff (N=12). CGI-I average scores based on latest assessment for each patient.
TSHA-102 demonstrated robust, clinically meaningful responses at both 6 and at 12 months and beyond across multiple key outcome measures. Importantly, we observed an 83% response rate at 6 months and a 100% response rate at 12 months, exceeding the FDA-aligned minimum threshold for the pivotal trial (33% response rate), which further bolsters our confidence in our pivotal trial 6-month interim analysis, in addition to total functional gains observed, R-MBA, CGI-I, and CGI-S data all demonstrating significant and consistent response at 6 months, 12 months and beyond. Further, the FDA has agreed that our clinical and final commercial manufacturing processes are considered comparable, which enables us to include REVEAL Part A data in our BLA to support the totality of evidence. We believe this alignment further supports the possibility of a BLA submission based on the pivotal trial interim analysis. The responses for both the high and low dose cohorts of Part A are summarized below:

As of August 2026, TSHA-102 was generally well tolerated with no severe treatment-related serious adverse events, or SAEs, or dose limiting toxicities, or DLTs, in all patients treated in the REVEAL Phase 1/2, pivotal and ASPIRE trials (n=33). In July 2026, one patient in the REVEAL pivotal trial experienced a single, moderate Grade 2 treatment-related event of peripheral sensory neuropathy, an expected AAV-associated risk, approximately six weeks post-TSHA-102. In accordance with the treating institution’s protocol, the patient was admitted overnight for management and observation, thus, resulting in the technical classification of the Grade 2 event as an SAE. The patient was discharged the following day, and importantly, rapidly demonstrated substantial recovery.
REVEAL Pivotal Trial
We have completed dosing of the 12 patients in Part A of both REVEAL trials, which includes eight patients in cohort two (high dose, 1x1015 total vg) and four patients in cohort one (low dose, 5.7x1014 total vg). We reported positive clinical data in May 2025, demonstrating that the first 10 patients gained or regained one or more developmental milestone across communication, fine motor and gross motor function following TSHA-102 as of the May 19, 2025 data cutoff. Patients also showed improvements across multiple standardized Rett syndrome assessments. High dose (1x1015 total vg) and low dose (5.7x1014 total vg) TSHA-102 continue to be generally well tolerated with no treatment-related serious adverse events, or SAEs, or dose-limiting toxicities, or DLTs, in all patients treated in the REVEAL Phase 1/2 and REVEAL pivotal trials as of the May 2026 data cutoff.
An update on longer-term safety and efficacy data from the Part A REVEAL Phase 1/2 trials (n=12) is expected in the second quarter of 2026.
The TSHA-102 clinical development program is designed to support the potential future approval of TSHA-102 for a broad population of patients aged 2 years and older with Rett syndrome through an efficient and rigorously designed pathway. In close collaboration with the United States Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, we designed the TSHA-102 pivotal program so that efficacy data from the REVEAL pivotal trial in participantspatients aged 6 to <22 years who have reached developmental plateau can be used to represent patients aged 2 to <6 years, while safety data in younger children are generated through the separate ASPIRE trial to support the potential for a broad label for TSHA-102.
The REVEAL pivotal trial, also known as Part B, is a single-arm, open-label study evaluating the efficacy and safety of high dose TSHA-102 as a single lumbar intrathecal administration in females aged 6 to <22 years with Rett syndrome,syndrome due to MECP2 loss-of-function mutation, with each patient serving as their own control. EachThe participanttrial willis receivetaking aplace single administration ofin the highUnited dose (1x1015 total vg) of TSHA-102 delivered by lumbar intrathecal injection.States. The study will enroll 15enrolled females aged 6 to <22 years in the developmental plateau population of Rett syndrome; these patients have an exceedingly low likelihood (0% to <6.7%) of gaining new or regaining developmental milestones that were lost after a defined number of years, based on our analysis of the National Institutes of Health, or NIH, -funded International Rett Syndrome Foundation’s natural history study data. The primary endpoint will assess response rate, defined as the percentage of patients who gain or regain at least one developmental milestone from a list of 28 natural-history defined milestones across the core functional domains of communication, fine motor and gross motor, following administration of TSHA-102.

We have completed dosing of the 17 patients aged 6 to <22 years in the overenrolled REVEAL pivotal trial, and enrollment for this trial is complete with a well-balanced age distribution across all pediatric, adolescent and adult patients dosed.
Standardized milestone assessments will be administered and captured on video at pre- and post-treatment timepoints, with determination of milestone gain/regain upon video-evidence review by independent, blinded central raters based on prespecified definitions of achievement for each milestone. The interim analysis to support the planned and FDA-aligned BLA submission is expected to occur after all 17 patients complete six months of post-treatment follow-up. Subsequently, we plan to discuss data from the 6-month interim analysis and next steps toward the BLA submission pathway with the FDA, with topline data and regulatory feedback anticipated in the first half of 2027.
We have finalized FDA alignment on the REVEAL pivotal trial protocol and statistical analysis plan, which includes a 6-month interim analysis that may serve as the basis for a biologics license application, or BLA, submission. Multiple patients have been dosed in the REVEAL pivotal trial, with the first patient dosed in the fourth quarter of 2025. Additional patient enrollment continues to advance across multiple clinical trial sites. There have been no treatment-related SAEs or DLTs across the participants treated with TSHA-102 in the REVEAL pivotal trial as of the May 2026 data cutoff. We expect to complete dosing of all patients in the REVEAL pivotal trial in the second quarter of 2026.
We also obtained written alignment from the FDA on an extrapolation approach in a separate safety-focused study, which we refer to as the ASPIRE trial, and the data for inclusion in the planned BLA submission to enable potential broad labeling of TSHA-102 for patients aged ≥2 years with Rett syndrome. ASPIREWe willhave enrollcompleted threedosing femalesof four patients aged 2 to <4 years with Rett syndrome in the overenrolled ASPIRE trial to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of a single intrathecal administration of high dose TSHA-102 (1x1015 total vg), scaled to account for the lower brain volume in 2 to <4‑year‑olds.4-year-olds. A minimum of three months of ASPIRE safety data will be included in the planned BLA submission, while efficacy in the 2 to <6-year-old population will be extrapolated from data collected in the REVEAL pivotal trial, to support the potential for a broad label for TSHA-102 in patients aged ≥2 years with Rett syndrome. We expect to complete dosing in the ASPIRE trial in the second quarter of 2026.trial.
We have expanded our strategic manufacturing partnership with Catalent, Inc., or Catalent, for commercial supply of TSHA-102. We executed a commercial supply agreement for Catalent to manufacture TSHA-102. Under the terms of this expanded agreement, Catalent will be our primary commercial manufacturing partner for TSHA-102. Catalent will provide Good Manufacturing Practices, or GMP, manufacturing and commercial supply of TSHA-102 at its FDA-licensed commercial gene therapy facility in Harmans, Maryland following potential FDA approval. The agreement establishes a long-term commercial supply framework intended to support commercial launch and future demand. Catalent will leverage its experience across more than 90 gene therapy programs, including multiple commercial products at this facility.
We have a limited operating history. Since our inception, our operations have focused on organizing and staffing our company, business planning, raising capital and entering into collaboration agreements for conducting preclinical and clinical development activities for our product candidates. Our lead product candidate is still in the clinical stage. We do not have any product candidates approved for sale and have not generated any revenue from product sales. Through MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we have funded our operations primarily through: (i) the sale of equity, raising an aggregate of $961.0$1,191.0 million of gross proceeds from our initialIPO and subsequent public offering,and orprivate the IPO, salesofferings of common stock pursuant to our Sales Agreement (as defined below), our October 2022 follow-on offering, our 2023 private placement, our June 2024 Offering (as defined below) and our May 2025 Offering (as defined below); (ii) pre-IPO private placements of our convertible preferred stock; (iii) our 2023 Trinity Term Loan Agreement (as defined below) and subsequently the 2025 Trinity Term Loan Agreement (as defined below); and (iv) the option agreement dated October 21, 2022, with Audentes Therapeutics, Inc. (d/b/a Astellas Gene Therapy) and the securities purchase agreement dated October 21, 22 with Astellas, or the Astellas Transactions.
Since our inception, we have incurred significant operating losses. Our net losses were $42.4$89.0 million for the threesix months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026. As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we had an accumulated deficit of $753.7$800.3 million. We expect to continue to incur significant expenses and operating losses for the foreseeable future. We anticipate that our expenses will increase significantly in connection with our ongoing activities, as we:
In March 2022, our clinical trial application filing for TSHA-102 for the treatment of Rett Syndrome was approved by Health Canada and therefore triggered a regulatory milestone payment in connection with the Abeona Rett Agreement. We recorded a $1.0 million charge within research and development expenses in the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2022. In May 2023, we dosed the first patient with TSHA-102 in the Phase 1/2 REVEAL trial evaluating the safety and preliminary efficacy of TSHA-102 in adult patients with Rett syndrome and therefore triggered a milestone payment of $3.5 million in connection with the Abeona Rett Agreement. In December 2025, we dosed the first patient with TSHA-102 in the Phase 1/2 Part B REVEAL pivotal trial and therefore triggered a milestone payment of $3 million in connection with this agreement. This pivotal milestone fee was paid in January 2026. We recorded $3.0 million as an investing cash outflow in our condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the threesix months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026. No other milestone payments were made or triggered in connection with this agreement during the threesix months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026.
Revenue for the threesix months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2025 was derived from the Astellas Transactions. We recognized revenue as research and development activities related to our Rett program were performed. Revenue related to the material rights associated with the Rett Option and the GAN Option were recognized at a point in time when the option was exercised or the option period expired. In September 2023, Astellas elected not to exercise the GAN Option, therefore we recognized revenue related to the GAN Option during the year ended December 31, 2023. In October 2025, Astellas elected not to exercise the Rett Option, therefore we recognized revenue related to the Rett Option during the year ended December 31, 2025. All revenue related to the Astellas Transactions was recognized as of December 31, 2025.
Results of Operations for the Three Months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and 2025
The following table summarizes our results of operations for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and 2025 (in thousands):
Revenue was zero for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, compared to $2.3$2.0 million for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2025. The revenue recorded for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2025, was derived entirely from the Astellas Transactions as a result of Rett research and development activities performed during the period.
Research and development expenses were $33.8$38.6 million for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, compared to $15.6$20.1 million for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2025. The $18.2$18.5 million increase was primarily driven by BLA-enabling PPQ manufacturing initiatives performed during the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and higher clinical expenses from the REVEAL Part A Phase 1/2, REVEAL Part B pivotal, and ASPIRE trials. Compensation expenses, including non-cash stock-based compensation, also increased as a result of additional research and development headcount.
General and administrative expenses were $9.7$12.1 million for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, compared to $8.2$8.6 million for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2025. The increase of $1.5$3.5 million was primarily due to higher compensation expenses, including non-cash stock-based compensation expense, and increases in consulting and professional fees, including commercial launch-readiness initiatives.
Net Gain on Lease Termination
Net gain on lease termination was $3.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 due to the termination of the lease of our manufacturing facility in North Carolina. The net gain is comprised of a $8.7 million gain on lease termination related to the derecognition of the operating lease right-of use asset and corresponding lease liability, offset partially by both a loss on asset disposal of $4.0 million related to construction in progress leasehold improvements and third party broker commission of $1.3 million.
Change in fair value of warrant liability was a non-cash gainloss totaling $0.1$0.3 million for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2025 related to the SSI Warrants. In December 2025, all vested and outstanding liability classified warrants were exercised, therefore the change in fair value of warrant liability was zero for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026.
Change in fair value of term loan
We elected the fair value option for the 2025 Trinity Term Loan and changes to fair value, other than changes that were directly attributed to instrument-specific credit risk, were recorded as a component of other income (expense). The change in fair value was $1.5 million of expense for each of the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and 2025.
Interest income was $2.6$2.3 million for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 compared to $1.3$1.9 million for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2025. The increase in income was attributable to higher dividends earned from our money market fund.
Interest expense
Interest expense was less than $0.1 million for each of the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and 2025. No interest expense was recorded on the term loans for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and 2025 due to the election of the fair value option.
Results of Operations for the Six Months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025
The following table summarizes our results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 (in thousands):
Revenue was zero for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $4.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The revenue recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2025, was derived entirely from the Astellas Transactions as a result of Rett research and development activities performed during the period.
