Executive Summary

Regulatory momentum continued: FDA accepted the RP1 + nivolumab BLA for advanced melanoma with Priority Review and a PDUFA date of July 22, 2025; the agency is not planning an advisory committee and had not identified review issues at acceptance .
Financially, cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments rose to $536.5M, aided by a ~$156.0M net equity raise in November; net loss widened sequentially on higher R&D and SG&A as the company gears up for launch and pivotal activities .
Pipeline execution advanced: IGNYTE-3 (confirmatory Phase 3) is enrolling with >100 sites planned globally; first patients were enrolled in new RP2 studies in metastatic uveal melanoma and HCC .
Commercial readiness is a central focus ahead of a potential 2H 2025 launch; management outlined a targeted field footprint, interventional radiology integration, and account mapping at the January JPMorgan conference .

What Went Well and What Went Wrong

What Went Well

Priority Review accepted for RP1 + nivolumab with a July 22, 2025 PDUFA; FDA indicated no advisory committee planned and no potential review issues identified at acceptance, de-risking near-term regulatory optics .
Strengthened balance sheet and runway: cash increased to $536.5M (from $432.1M in Q2), driven by a ~$156.0M net offering; runway extended into 4Q26 including commercial scale-up .
Trial execution and pipeline breadth: IGNYTE-3 is enrolling (global >100 sites planned) and first patients were enrolled in RP2 programs (uveal melanoma and HCC), supporting a broader RPx platform thesis .

Management quote: “With Priority Review and a PDUFA date set for July 22, 2025… our efforts are focused on ensuring a successful commercial launch of RP1 upon approval. With over $500 million in cash, we are well-capitalized to execute our plans…” (Sushil Patel, CEO) .

What Went Wrong

Operating loss widened sequentially as OpEx stepped up with launch preparation and clinical programs: net loss increased to $66.3M in Q3 from $53.1M in Q2, reflecting higher R&D and SG&A .
No product revenue; financials remain driven by R&D and SG&A, keeping GAAP margins inapplicable until commercialization .
Consensus estimate comparisons were unavailable via S&P Global at the time of writing due to data access limits, limiting beat/miss assessment (see Estimates Context) [GetEstimates error].

Operating Drivers and Commentary

Sequential OpEx increase reflects personnel, consulting, and facility-related costs tied to R&D and commercial build; R&D stock-based comp was $4.6M in Q3 .
November financing added ~$156.0M net, lifting period-end cash to $536.5M and extending runway into 4Q26 for RP1 scale-up and working capital, excluding any potential revenue .

Selected quotes

“With Priority Review and a PDUFA date set for July 22, 2025… our efforts are focused on ensuring a successful commercial launch of RP1 upon approval.” — Sushil Patel, CEO .
“We expect by the time of approval, to have completed in-person profiling of all 200 accounts… complete our distribution model [and] patient support hub… ensure seamless execution upon approval.” — Christopher Sarchi, Chief Commercial Officer (JPM Q&A) .
“That trial [IGNYTE-3] will take 2 to 3 years to enroll… the FDA is well aware of that timeline…” — Emily Hill (JPM Q&A) .

Q&A Highlights

Regulatory timeline and inspections: Management reiterated BLA timing, anticipated Priority Review (now accepted), and readiness for manufacturing inspections pre-PDUFA (JPM) .
Commercial footprint: ~30 sales reps by mid-April and total ~65 field-facing roles (MSLs, access, IR oncology coordinators) to coordinate oncologist-IR workflows (JPM) .
IR utilization: Expect IR to inject both superficial and deep lesions depending on practice logistics; oncology offices may inject superficial lesions (JPM) .
Confirmatory trial enrollment: IGNYTE-3 enrollment expected over 2–3 years; FDA aware and aligned on expectations (JPM) .
Runway and milestones: ~$536M unaudited year-end 2024 cash expected to fund to 2H26, anticipating several quarters of revenue by then (subject to approval) (JPM) .

Estimates Context

We attempted to retrieve Wall Street consensus (S&P Global) for Q1–Q3 FY2025 revenue and EPS, but data were unavailable due to SPGI daily request limits at the time of analysis; therefore, we cannot provide beat/miss versus consensus for this quarter. Values retrieved from S&P Global were unavailable at query time (SPGI throttle) [GetEstimates error].
Given the pre-revenue profile, near-term estimate revisions are more likely to reflect OpEx and cash burn trajectories and, critically, probability- and timing-adjusted RP1 launch assumptions around the July 22, 2025 PDUFA and early commercialization curve .

Key Takeaways for Investors

The regulatory de-risking (Priority Review; no AdCom planned; no review issues identified at acceptance) sets a clear binary catalyst on July 22, 2025, anchoring trading into the event .
Cash of $536.5M and an extended runway into 4Q26 position REPL to fund launch build-out, IGNYTE-3, and RP2 advancement without near-term financing, reducing balance sheet overhang .
Sequential OpEx build and wider net loss reflect intentional investment in commercialization and clinical execution; expect elevated spend to persist into/through launch .
Commercial model hinges on efficient IR integration for deep lesion injections in a concentrated account universe (~200 U.S. accounts), a potentially differentiating go-to-market capability (monitor early adoption signals) .
Pipeline breadth beyond melanoma is advancing (RP2 in uveal melanoma and HCC), providing medium-term optionality should RP1 commercialize successfully .
Near-term stock drivers: regulatory updates (label negotiations, inspections), IGNYTE-3 enrollment cadence, commercial readiness milestones, and any payer/access signals ahead of launch .
