The decrease was primarily due to one-time transaction-associated costs incurred prior to or upon closing the Asset Acquisition, offset by net proceeds from the 2026 Offering of $1.7 million.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom:6pt;text-align:justify\">Net loss and net loss per share for the quarter were $27.7 million and $2.53, respectively, compared to $10.9 million and $3.16, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2025.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom:6pt;text-align:justify\">Research and development expenses for the quarter were $0.1 million compared to $7.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The $7.5 million decrease was primarily due to a decrease in costs incurred as a result of re-prioritizing efforts towards exploring strategic alternatives initiated in April 2025 and resulting in the Asset Acquisition completed in February 2026.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom:6pt;text-align:justify\">General and administrative expenses for the quarter were $5.4 million compared to $3.3 million for the same period in 2025. The $2.1 million increase was primarily due to one-time costs resulting from the Asset Acquisition completed in February 2026.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom:6pt;text-align:justify\">Acquired in-process research and development expenses for the quarter were $22.1 million compared to nil for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
