Analysis · CRBP · Life Sciences
A wider Q2 net loss of $35.0 million reflects a $10 million milestone payment for CRB-701 and increased clinical spending. With $117.9 million in cash at quarter-end, the runway extends into 2028. Two pivotal catalysts are now set for September: the start of the TEMPO-1 registrational study for CRB-701 in oropharyngeal cancer and topline data from the CANYON-1 Phase 1b obesity trial of CRB-913. These events could significantly de-risk the pipeline and reshape the investment thesis.
