What Went Well and What Went Wrong
What Went Well
- Maintained December 2025 timing for the registrational sunRIZE Phase 3 topline, reinforcing near-term de‑risking potential: “We remain on track to report topline results from the Phase 3 sunRIZE trial in congenital hyperinsulinism in December.”
- FDA alignment on a truncated, single‑arm Phase 3 for tumor HI (upLIFT) with topline in 2H 2026, eliminating need for a randomized controlled trial and potentially accelerating time to BLA .
- Sequential OpEx improvement: total operating expenses fell to $19.8M from $25.9M in Q4, helping deliver an EPS beat vs consensus despite higher YoY G&A as the company scales for potential commercialization . Values retrieved from S&P Global*
What Went Wrong
- YoY operating expense growth: G&A rose to $6.7M from $4.2M YoY, primarily due to professional fees and headcount; net loss increased to $18.2M from $15.4M YoY .
- Cash and investments declined to $152.2M from $167.9M sequentially, reflecting continued R&D and commercialization build-out ahead of pivotal milestones .
- No product revenue; company remains dependent on financing market conditions and milestone execution; revenue consensus remained $0 for recent quarters* . Values retrieved from S&P Global*

- Prior quarters indicate a pattern of modest EPS misses (Q3: actual $(0.27) vs $(0.229); Q4: $(0.26) vs $(0.22)) before a Q1 beat, coincident with lower sequential R&D and higher non‑operating income . Values retrieved from S&P Global*
Where estimates may need to adjust:
- Street models may recalibrate OpEx cadence into the December topline event and 1H26 prep activities; consensus revenue likely remains $0 near‑term until commercialization visibility improves*. Values retrieved from S&P Global*
Key Takeaways for Investors
- December sunRIZE topline is the primary near‑term binary catalyst; FDA‑aligned tumor HI path (single‑arm Phase 3) reduces development risk on the second indication .
- Q1 EPS beat vs consensus reflects tighter OpEx sequentially and non‑operating income; monitor OpEx ramp into commercialization activities and investor event commentary . Values retrieved from S&P Global*
- Liquidity of $152.2M provides runway through pivotal readouts and tumor HI enrollment; sequential cash draw reflects ongoing trial and build‑out .
- Commercial readiness advancing (new CCO, investor event), positioning for potential BLA following positive sunRIZE results .
- Watch for any discrepancies or clarifications at the investor event regarding BLA timing, manufacturing readiness, and payer engagement for an ultra‑rare pediatric and oncology niche .
- If sunRIZE is positive, expect focus to shift to regulatory timelines, label breadth across HI, and initial market size assumptions; if negative, downside risk includes financing needs and program reprioritization .
