Negative
  • The timeline for the Advance-HTN trial's top-line data readout has been extended to the first quarter of 2025, which may disappoint some stakeholders.
  • R&D expenses increased significantly to $39.3 million for the quarter, up from $11.9 million in the same quarter of 2023, primarily due to higher preclinical and clinical costs.
  • G&A expenses also rose to $5.9 million for the quarter, compared to $3.9 million in the same quarter of the prior year, driven by higher compensation expenses and professional fees.
  • Net loss for the quarter was $41 million, a substantial increase from $12.1 million in the same quarter of 2023.
