New in FY2025

  • We have no products for sale, have not generated any product revenue and may never generate product revenue or become profitable; • We face competition from entities that have developed or may develop programs for the diseases we plan to address with claseprubart, DNTH212 or other product candidates; • Claseprubart, DNTH212 and our other programs are in varying stages of development and may fail in development or suffer delays that materially and adversely affect their commercial viability.
  • If we or our current or future collaborators are unable to complete development of, or commercialize, our product candidates, or experience significant delays in doing so, our business will be materially harmed; • We are substantially dependent on the success of our most advanced product candidate, claseprubart, and our anticipated clinical trials of such candidate may not be successful; • If we do not achieve our projected development goals in the time frames we announce and expect, the commercialization of claseprubart, DNTH212 or any other product candidates may be delayed and our expenses may increase and our stock price may decline; • Our approach to the discovery and development of product candidates is unproven, and we may not be successful in our efforts to build a pipeline of product candidates with commercial value; • Preclinical and clinical development involves a lengthy and expensive process that is subject to delays and with uncertain outcomes, and results of earlier studies and trials may not be predictive of future clinical trial results.
  • If our preclinical studies and clinical trials are not sufficient to support regulatory approval of any of our product candidates, we may incur additional costs or experience delays in completing, or ultimately be unable to complete, the development of such product candidate; • If we encounter difficulties enrolling patients in our current or future clinical trials, our clinical development activities could be delayed or otherwise adversely affected; • We have collaborations with third parties, including our existing license and development collaborations with Tenacia and Leads.
  • We have utilized substantially all of our resources conducting research and development activities (including with respect to our claseprubart program), business planning, developing and maintaining our intellectual property portfolio, hiring personnel, raising capital, and providing general and administrative support for these activities.
  • In addition, while we are conducting two Phase 2 clinical trials and one Phase 3 clinical trial with claseprubart in patients with gMG, MMN and CIDP, respectively, we have not completed a late-stage clinical trial (including Phase 3 or other pivotal clinical trials) for any product candidate, have no products approved for commercial sale and have not yet demonstrated our ability to successfully complete late-stage clinical trials, obtain regulatory or marketing approvals, manufacture a commercial-scale product or arrange for a third party to do so on our behalf, or conduct sales, marketing and distribution activities necessary for successful product commercialization.
  • We will need to continue the transition from a company with an early research and development focus to a company capable of supporting larger scale clinical trials and eventually commercial activities.
  • Since our inception in 2019, we historically have funded our operations with proceeds from the sale of capital stock and have incurred significant recurring losses, including net losses of $162.3 million and $85.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
  • We expect our expenses to increase in connection with our ongoing activities, particularly as we conduct multiple Phase 2 and Phase 3 clinical trials, prepare for additional IND and other regulatory filings, potentially initiate additional clinical trials, and continue to research, develop and conduct preclinical studies of our other potential product candidates.
  • In addition, if we obtain regulatory approval for any product candidate for commercial sale, including claseprubart and DNTH212, we anticipate incurring significant commercialization expenses related to product manufacturing, marketing, sales and distribution activities to launch any such product.
  • Based on our current operating plan, we believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents and investments should be sufficient to fund our operations into 2028.
  • This estimate is based on assumptions that may prove to be materially wrong, including assumptions regarding the timing, cost and success of our clinical trials and other development activities, and we could use our available capital resources sooner than we currently expect.
  • Our existing cash, cash equivalents and investments may be used more quickly than anticipated due to changes in our development plans, regulatory requirements, manufacturing needs or other factors.
  • We may be required to seek additional funds sooner than planned through public or private equity offerings, including through our effective shelf registration statement or ATM program, debt financings, collaborations and licensing arrangements or other sources.
  • For example, i n September 2025, we completed an underwritten public offering of our common stock in which we issued 7,627,879 shares of common stock and pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 1,112,121 shares of common stock to certain institutional and accredited investors, which resulted in dilution to our stockholders that did not participate in the offering, and, to the extent that the pre-funded warrants are exercised, our stockholders’ ownership interests will be further diluted.
  • As of the date of this filing , we have sold 2,626,834 shares of our common stock under our ATM program.
  • We do not expect to generate product revenue unless or until we successfully complete clinical development and obtain regulatory approval of, and then successfully commercialize, at least one product candidate.
  • Our net losses were $162.3 million and $85.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
  • We anticipate that our expenses will increase substantially if and as we: • advance our existing and future programs through preclinical and clinical development, including expansion into additional indications; • seek to identify additional programs and additional product candidates; • maintain, expand, enforce, defend and protect our intellectual property portfolio; • seek regulatory and marketing approvals for product candidates; • seek to identify, establish and maintain additional collaborations and license agreements; • ultimately establish a sales, marketing and distribution infrastructure to commercialize any drug products for which we may obtain marketing approval, either by ourselves or in collaboration with others; • seek to generate revenue from commercial sales of products for which we receive marketing approval; • hire additional personnel including research and development, clinical and commercial personnel; • add operational, financial and management information systems and personnel, including personnel to support product development; • acquire or in-license products, intellectual property and technologies; • develop and manufacture our clinical supplies and access commercial-scale cGMP capacity and capabilities through third-parties or our own manufacturing facility; and • continue to operate as a public company.
  • Risks Related to Discovery, Development and Commercialization We face competition from entities that have developed or may develop programs for the diseases we plan to address with claseprubart, DNTH212 or other product candidates.
  • If approved, claseprubart, DNTH212 or our other product candidates will face significant competition and our failure to effectively compete may prevent us from achieving significant market penetration.
  • These competitors also compete with us in recruiting and retaining qualified scientific, medical and management personnel, establishing clinical trial sites, patient registration for clinical trials, as well as in acquiring technologies complementary to, or necessary for, claseprubart, DNTH212 or our other product candidates.
  • Our competitors have developed, are developing or may develop programs and processes competitive with claseprubart, DNTH212 or our other product candidates and processes.
  • Claseprubart, DNTH212 and our other programs are in varying stages of development and may fail in development or suffer delays that materially and adversely affect their commercial viability.
  • We have no products on the market and claseprubart, DNTH212 and our other programs are in varying stages of development.
  • Our ability to achieve and sustain profitability depends on obtaining regulatory approvals for, and successfully commercializing, claseprubart, DNTH212 or other product candidates either alone or with third parties, and we cannot guarantee that we will ever obtain regulatory approval for any product candidates.
  • We or our collaborators also may experience numerous unforeseen events during, or as a result of, any current or future clinical trials that we could conduct that could delay or prevent our ability to receive marketing approval or commercialize claseprubart, DNTH212 or any other product candidates, including: • IRBs, the FDA or other regulators, or ethics committees may not authorize us or our investigators to commence a clinical trial or conduct a clinical trial at a prospective trial site; • we may experience delays in reaching, or fail to reach, agreement on acceptable terms with prospective trial sites and prospective CROs, the terms of which can be subject to extensive negotiation and may vary significantly among different CROs and trial sites; • clinical trial sites deviating from trial protocol or dropping out of a trial; • clinical trials of any product candidates may fail to show safety or efficacy, produce negative or inconclusive results and we may decide, or regulators may require us, to conduct additional preclinical studies or clinical trials or we may decide to abandon product development programs; • the number of subjects required for clinical trials of any of our product candidates may be larger than we anticipate, especially if regulatory bodies require completion of non-inferiority or superiority trials, enrollment in these clinical trials may be slower than we anticipate or subjects may drop out of these clinical trials or fail to return for post-treatment follow-up at a higher rate than we anticipate; • our third-party contractors may fail to comply with regulatory requirements or meet their contractual obligations to us in a timely manner, or at all, or may deviate from the clinical trial protocol or drop out of the trial, which may require that we add new clinical trial sites or investigators; • we may elect to, or regulators, IRBs or ethics committees may require that we or our investigators, suspend or terminate clinical research or trials for various reasons, including noncompliance with regulatory requirements or a finding that the participants in our trials are being exposed to unacceptable health risks; • the cost of clinical trials of any of our product candidates may be greater than we anticipate; • the quality of our product candidates or other materials necessary to conduct clinical trials of our product candidates may be inadequate to initiate or complete a given clinical trial; • our inability to manufacture sufficient quantities of our product candidates for use in clinical trials, or delays in manufacturing or distribution; • reports from clinical testing of other therapies may raise safety or efficacy concerns about our product candidates; • our failure to establish an appropriate safety profile for a product candidate based on clinical or preclinical data for such product candidate as well as data emerging from other therapies in the same class as our product candidates; and • the FDA or other regulatory authorities may require us to submit additional data such as additional toxicology studies, or impose other requirements before permitting us to initiate a clinical trial.
  • Commencing clinical trials in the United States is subject to acceptance by the FDA of an IND or similar application and finalizing the trial design based on discussions with the FDA and other regulatory authorities.
  • There are equivalent processes and risks applicable to clinical trial applications in other countries, including countries in the EU.
  • We may not have the financial resources to continue development of, or to modify existing or enter into new collaborations for, a product candidate if we experience any issues that delay or prevent regulatory approval of, or our ability to commercialize, claseprubart, DNTH212 or any other product candidates.
  • We or our current or future collaborators’ inability to complete development of, or commercialize, claseprubart, DNTH212 or any other product candidates or significant delays in doing so, could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and prospects.
  • We are substantially dependent on the success of our most advanced product candidate, claseprubart, and our anticipated clinical trials of such candidate may not be successful.
  • Our future success is substantially dependent on our ability to timely obtain marketing approval for, and then successfully commercialize, our most advanced product candidate, claseprubart.
  • We are executing global Phase 2 clinical trials of claseprubart in gMG and MMN and a global Phase 3 clinical trial of claseprubart in CIDP.
  • The success of claseprubart may depend on having a potentially differentiated safety profile, comparable efficacy profile and a more favorable dosing schedule (i.e., less frequent dosing) and more patient-friendly administration (i.e., S.C. self-administration using a pen or other prefilled device) to products currently approved or in development for the indications we are pursuing or may in the future pursue .
  • Claseprubart will require additional clinical development, evaluation of clinical, preclinical and manufacturing activities, marketing approval in multiple jurisdictions, substantial investment and significant marketing efforts before we generate any revenues from product sales, if any.
  • The success of claseprubart will depend on a variety of factors.
  • If we are not successful in commercializing claseprubart, or we are significantly delayed in doing so, our business will be materially harmed.
  • If we do not achieve our projected development goals in the time frames we announce and expect, the commercialization of claseprubart, DNTH212 or any other product candidates may be delayed and our expenses may increase and, as a result, our stock price may decline.
  • If we do not meet these milestones as publicly announced, or at all, the commercialization of claseprubart, DNTH212 or any other product candidates may be delayed or never achieved and, as a result, our stock price may decline.
  • Our approach to the discovery and development of claseprubart leverages clinically validated mechanisms of action and incorporates advanced antibody engineering properties designed to overcome limitations of existing therapies.
