• Successful Public Offering at Premium Pricing

  The company completed a public offering in November 2025, raising $70.2 million in net proceeds. The offering included common stock at $13.00 per share and pre-funded warrants at $12.9999 per pre-funded warrant, with an exercise price of $0.0001 per share. This pricing is notably above the current market price of $9.50, indicating strong investor confidence.

• Extended Cash Runway

  With $163.3 million in cash, cash equivalents, and investments at December 31, 2025, the company expects to meet its operating and capital requirements for at least 12 months from the issuance of these financial statements, addressing near-term liquidity concerns despite a significant accumulated deficit of $555.4 million.

• CRB-701 Oncology Program Advances with FDA Fast Track

  The oncology drug candidate CRB-701 is progressing in its Phase 1/2 Western study, with dose expansion ongoing and dosing initiated in a PD-1 combination arm. The program received two FDA Fast Track designations in December 2024 and September 2025 for metastatic cervical cancer and recurrent/metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), respectively. The company plans to meet with the FDA in Q1 2026 to discuss registrational study protocols.

• CRB-913 Obesity Program Shows Promising Phase 1a Results

  The obesity drug candidate CRB-913 completed its Phase 1a SAD/MAD study in December 2025, demonstrating a favorable safety and tolerability profile with no serious treatment-emergent adverse events. The study also showed a mean 2.9% placebo-adjusted weight loss by Day 14 in the obese MAD cohort, leading to the initiation of a Phase 1b dose-range finding study (CANYON-1) in December 2025, with completion expected in summer 2026.

This annual report provides comprehensive details following recent preliminary announcements. The successful completion of a $70.2 million public offering in November 2025, notably priced at $13.00 per share (above the current market price of $9.50), demonstrates strong investor confidence and significantly bolsters the company's financial position, extending its cash runway for at least 12 months. This is crucial for a clinical-stage biotech with a substantial accumulated deficit. Operationally, the company reported positive progress for its key pipeline assets: CRB-701 received two FDA Fast Track designations and is advancing in Phase 1/2 trials with plans for registrational study discussions, while CRB-913 showed promising safety and efficacy in its Phase 1a obesity study, leading to the initiation of a Phase 1b trial. The increased R&D expenditure reflects active investment in these programs. While the net loss widened, this is typical for a company in active clinical development, and the successful financing and clinical milestones are strong positive indicators for future growth and value creation.
