What Went Well and What Went Wrong
What Went Well
- Cohort 1 completed and cleared to continue in ELEVATE-44-201; DMC supported continuation without protocol changes; first Cohort 1 data expected in Q2 2026 .
- ELEVATE-45-201 first patient dosed; Cohort 1 data expected mid-2026, providing a second clinical readout stream in 2026 .
- Runway strengthened to Q3 2027 with $326.8M cash and securities, enabling planned readouts and program expansion despite rising R&D . CEO: “We expect 2026 to be a data-rich year… With an expected cash runway extended into the third quarter of 2027, we believe we are well-positioned…” .
What Went Wrong
- Collaboration revenue declined 92% YoY ($1.61M vs $19.57M), as Vertex-related research activities substantially completed; net loss widened to -$44.1M vs -$14.0M YoY .
- Operating spend rose with DMD program execution: R&D up to $38.4M (+$7.1M YoY), G&A modestly higher to $10.3M, contributing to loss widening .

Management Commentary
- “We expect 2026 to be a data-rich year, with multiple potential value-creating inflection points across our growing Duchenne franchise… With an expected cash runway extended into the third quarter of 2027, we believe we are well-positioned to advance and expand our unique pipeline of intracellular therapeutics.” — Dipal Doshi, CEO .

Estimates Context
- Q3 revenue of $1.61M missed S&P Global consensus of $8.62M by ~$7.0M, reflecting the substantial completion of VX-670 collaboration activities; EPS of -$1.06 missed consensus -$0.97 by ~$0.10. Values retrieved from S&P Global.
- Given the structural taper in collaboration revenue and ongoing step-up in R&D to execute multiple clinical programs, Street models are likely to reset revenue run-rates lower and OpEx higher near term, with valuation focus shifting to 2026 clinical catalysts .
Key Takeaways for Investors
- The story is catalyst-driven: 44 Cohort 1 data in Q2’26 and 45 Cohort 1 in mid’26 present two near-sequential readouts that can drive stock inflections if safety/exon-skipping data are favorable .
- Liquidity is adequate through these catalysts: $326.8M cash and runway into Q3’27 lowers financing overhang through initial 2026 readouts .
- Revenue/EPS prints are less indicative of value in a pre-commercial biotech and will remain volatile as collaboration revenue winds down (Q3: $1.61M; YoY -92%) .
- Watch the 50 program timeline: U.K. filing is progress, but EU submissions moved to H2’26 with initiation by end’26, slightly extending timelines for broader franchise readouts .
- Operational momentum is positive: 44 Cohort 1 enrollment completion with DMC support and 45 first patient dosing de-risk execution into 2026 .
- External validation via Vertex continues: VX-670 remains on track to complete MAD enrollment/dosing in H1’26, providing additional catalyst diversity .
