Summary

Analysis · CRBP · Life Sciences
Operating cash burn reached $55.2M in the first half of 2026, fueled by a $10M milestone payment for lead oncology asset CRB-701 and expanded clinical trials. Management ended Q2 with $117.9M in cash and investments, which it says funds operations for at least 12 months. Dilution continues via the ATM — 894,044 shares sold in Q2 for $9.1M, and another 738,707 shares sold post-quarter for $6.7M. The widening loss and ongoing ATM sales are offset by a clear clinical catalyst: the FDA has cleared the TEMPO-1 registrational study for CRB-701, with enrollment expected in September 2026.
