- Cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities were $468.3M at 9/30/25; management reiterated runway “into 2028,” supported by de‑SPAC and PIPE proceeds .
- Clinical highlights: Fast Track designation for KRAS G12C inhibitor BBO‑8520 with early Phase 1 dose‑escalation data showing a 60% confirmed ORR; initial readouts expected in 1H/2H 2026 across the three lead programs .
- Operating expenses ramped significantly YoY (R&D +96%, G&A +696%) due to clinical trial and manufacturing scale-up and de‑SPAC/public company transition costs, widening the quarterly loss .
- Stock reaction catalysts: cash runway assurance, 2026 clinical readout timing, and regulatory designations; near‑term sentiment sensitive to spend trajectory and clarity on program timelines .
What Went Well and What Went Wrong
What Went Well
- Fast Track designation for BBO‑8520 in KRAS G12C metastatic NSCLC; early Phase 1 data showed 60% confirmed ORR, supporting potential for combination with pembrolizumab .
- Pipeline momentum: three internally discovered clinical assets progressed; initial data milestones set (BBO‑8520 update in Q1’26; BBO‑10203 1H’26; BBO‑11818 2H’26) .
- Management strengthened: appointment of industry veteran Uneek Mehra as CFO; leadership emphasized robust pipeline and funding position—“we are well positioned to execute on our mission…” (CEO, Eli Wallace) .
What Went Wrong
- EPS missed Street estimates materially (actual -$1.03 vs -$0.344 consensus), driven by higher R&D (clinical trials, manufacturing) and G&A (de‑SPAC costs and executive bonus), and the issuance of stock to a related party recorded in G&A . Values retrieved from S&P Global.*
- Net loss widened to $44.8M vs $17.3M YoY as operating expenses rose with trial execution and public company transition .
- Ongoing obligations and potential disputes noted: milestone liabilities under Leidos/LLNS agreements and a UCSF communication asserting a sub‑$5M “Indexed Milestone Payment” that BBOT disputes, adding uncertainty risk .

Key Takeaways for Investors
- Funding runway into 2028 underpins execution through key 2026 clinical readouts across BBO‑8520/10203/11818; liquidity reduces near‑term financing overhang .
- R&D and G&A step‑up widened losses; watch expense cadence as trials scale and manufacturing ramps; EPS likely to remain volatile absent revenue .
- Regulatory momentum: Fast Track for BBO‑8520 and early 60% ORR in KRAS G12C NSCLC support combination development; data in Q1’26 a major inflection .
- Corporate transition costs (de‑SPAC, executive bonus, related‑party stock issuance) inflated G&A in Q3; expect normalization after one‑time items, but public company costs persist .
- Partnership/licensing obligations (Leidos/LLNS) carry milestone liabilities; monitor cash deployment and any additional agreements for optionality vs dilution .
- Legal overhang: UCSF communication on “Indexed Milestone Payment” (BBOT disputes) adds small contingent risk; clarity post‑de‑SPAC advisable .
- Trading lens: Near‑term sentiment hinges on spend discipline and timeline confirmations; medium‑term thesis depends on validating ON/OFF KRAS inhibition and PI3Kα breaker combinations in 2026 readouts .
