What Went Well and What Went Wrong
What Went Well
- TX45 clinical expansion: “Today our team is excited to announce PH-ILD as an additional indication for TX45… TX45’s preclinical and hemodynamic data… supports expanding into PH-ILD” — Alise Reicin, M.D., CEO .
- Phase 1b Part B enrollment completed; APEX Phase 2 continues; data cadence overall intact (Part B topline early Q4’25; APEX topline 2026) .
- Strengthened balance sheet: cash $287.4M at Q2 with runway into Q4’2028, aided by Feb 2025 financing, while interest income benefiting from higher cash balances .

- EPS missed consensus: actual $(1.07) vs Street $(0.98)*, reflecting accelerated R&D execution and a discrete $0.976M tax expense from subsidiary dissolution .
- No revenue generation (as expected for early-stage biotech), with reiterated need for substantial future capital to support trials and pipeline before commercialization .

Key Takeaways for Investors
- Loss widening is primarily investment-driven: R&D up 31% q/q to $17.2M as TX45/TX2100 advance; expect elevated OpEx until clinical milestones pass .
- Near-term catalyst: TX45 Part B topline early Q4’25 could expand addressable population (PH‑HFrEF) and improve sentiment; monitor hemodynamic endpoints .
- Medium-term: 2026 APEX Phase 2 topline in PH‑HFpEF and PH‑ILD Phase 2 initiation underpin a multi‑indication strategy; execution risk remains but optionality improves .
- Balance sheet supports multi‑program execution: $287.4M cash and Q4’28 runway; $100M ATM adds flexibility, but dilution risk if tapped amid market volatility .
- Estimate tuning: EPS likely pressured by higher R&D and tax discrete items; consensus already assumes zero revenue — adjustments may focus on OpEx trajectory and timing of readouts .
- Trading angle: Pre‑readout biotech dynamics — data cadence (Q4’25), index inclusion, and program expansion could attract incremental interest; downside tied to delays or weaker hemodynamics vs expectations .
- No revenue; commercialization horizon remains years away — thesis hinges on clinical de‑risking and capital discipline .
