    • Research and Development (R&D) expenses were $5.7 million ($5.724 million) for the quarter, down from $7.0 million ($7.000 million) in Q3 2025, driven by decreased preclinical, research, and clinical trial expenses, partially offset by increases in personnel and CMC costs.
    • General and Administrative (G&A) expenses were $2.9 million ($2.946 million) for the quarter, down from $3.0 million ($3.040 million) in Q3 2025, due to decreased personnel expenses, partially offset by increased professional services and miscellaneous expenses.

  • Guidance and Future Outlook:

    • The Company projects that existing cash, cash equivalents, and investments will sustain operations into 2029 under the current operating plan.
    • Enrollment for the global Phase 2 study of epetraborole in polycythemia vera (PV) is expected to initiate by the end of 2026.
    • Part 1 data for the PV Phase 2 study is anticipated to be released periodically throughout 2027.
    • Topline results for the Phase 2 investigator-initiated trial of epetraborole in M. abscessus lung disease are anticipated in late 2027, subject to enrollment progress.
    • A Phase 1 clinical study for the development candidate AN2-504661 in hypophosphatasia (HPP) is planned to initiate in the second half of 2027.
  • Business Segments and Product Lines:

    • Polycythemia Vera (PV): Received regulatory clearance (including FDA IND) to proceed with a global Phase 2 study of oral epetraborole in all planned jurisdictions (U.S., Australia, India). The study will begin with an open-label sentinel cohort to assess pharmacokinetics and safety, followed by a 28-week open-label, single-arm dose escalation to maintain hematocrit control.
    • M. abscessus Lung Disease: Enrollment is ongoing in an 84-patient, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 2 investigator-initiated trial led by Oregon Health and Science University. The study aims to provide clinical proof-of-concept to inform a subsequent pivotal trial.
    • Chagas Disease: Advancing startup activities for a Phase 2 proof-of-concept study of AN2-502998 (formerly AN15368), an oral CPSF3 inhibitor, in adults with chronic T. cruzi infection. The compound demonstrated curative activity in preclinical studies across multiple species, including nonhuman primates.
    • Hypophosphatasia (HPP): Selected AN2-504661 as the oral development candidate. It is an ENPP1 inhibitor selected for its potent and selective inhibition, favorable pharmacokinetic properties, and encouraging nonclinical safety profile.
    • Tuberculosis: The Gates Foundation awarded an extension of funding to support the Company's tuberculosis research collaboration with GSK.
    • Corporate Leadership: Appointed Cameron Trenor, M.D., as Chief Medical Officer in August 2026.
  • Market and Competitive Landscape:

    • PV: The Phase 2 study aims to reduce the frequency of phlebotomy in patients with phlebotomy-dependent PV.
    • M. abscessus: No FDA-approved therapy currently exists for this difficult-to-treat NTM infection.
    • Chagas Disease: There are no FDA-approved treatments for adults with chronic Chagas disease; over 10 million people are infected worldwide.
    • HPP: AN2-504661 is positioned to be a best-in-class therapy for this rare inherited metabolic bone disease.
  • Risks and Challenges:

    • Risks include the ability to implement plans for the boron chemistry platform and pipeline programs, timely patient enrollment in clinical trials, and reliance on third-party collaborators and investigators.
    • Potential for clinical trial results to differ from preclinical or expected results, including significant adverse events or toxicities.
    • Uncertainty regarding regulatory approvals and the ability to obtain, maintain, or protect intellectual property rights.
    • Sufficiency of capital resources and the need for additional capital to achieve goals.
    • Global macroeconomic conditions and conflicts.
  • Management Commentary and Tone:

    • CEO Eric Easom stated the quarter was marked by continued execution across the clinical pipeline and progress in expanding the boron chemistry platform.
    • Management highlighted the FDA IND clearance for epetraborole in PV as a key milestone enabling the global Phase 2 study.
    • The selection of AN2-504661 for HPP was cited as further evidence of the productivity of the research organization and the platform's potential to generate differentiated therapies.
    • Management expressed confidence in being well-positioned to build value across a diverse pipeline of boron-based therapies.
  • Other Key Points:

    • The Company presented four abstracts at the SOHO 2026 Annual Meeting in August 2026 and a poster at the 18th International Congress on Myeloproliferative Neoplasms in October 2026.
    • The Phase 2 PV study design was presented at the MPN Congress.
    • AN2-502998 is the only compound the Company is aware of to demonstrate curative activity in preclinical studies for chronic Chagas disease across multiple species.
    • The Company has no revenue reported in the financial statements, consistent with its clinical-stage status.
    • Comprehensive loss for the quarter was $8.1 million ($8.141 million), including an unrealized loss on investments of $0.2 million ($184,000).
