Bull points
- Our conviction in serolutinib has increased since the top line readout, not decreased. That conviction is based on a totality of evidence, consistent drug arm performance in ProSERA, confirmatory data from Tori, multi-compartment mechanistic evidence from the CT-FRI and the regulatory path we're advancing with the FDA.
- We now have a confirmed Type B pre-NDA meeting and expect to submit the NDA in September of 2026.
- Taken together with Phase III ProSERA data and the Phase II TORI data, we believe the overall evidence supports an NDA path for seraludinib.
Bear points
- we engaged constructively with our convertible note holders to address the upcoming 2027 maturity.
