  • Expenses for the sebetralstat program decreased primarily due to the Phase 3 KONFIDENT trial completing in February 2024.
  • Personnel expenses will remain at or slightly below current levels as the company prioritizes commercial launch efforts.
  • Other costs decreased primarily due to decreased spending on preclinical activities and a transition to recognizing expense associated with sebetralstat pre-commercial awareness within General & Administrative.

General and Administrative Expenses

  • General and administrative expenses increased by $19.7 million primarily due to increases in personnel costs, commercial expenses, sebetralstat awareness, professional fees, and other administrative expenses.
  • Expenses are expected to continue at or above current levels as the company continues to expand to support the growth and planned commercialization of sebetralstat.

Other Income (Expense), net
