• Q2 Loss Narrows, Cash Runway Extended

  Net loss came in at $15.2M, compared with $16.0M in Q2 2025. Cash and marketable securities of $236.6M are expected to fund operations through mid-2029, approximately one year past the estimated completion of the PROPEL-IPF trial.

• R&D Restructuring, CSO Departs

  To focus resources on the highest-potential clinical programs, Contineum streamlined its discovery efforts, resulting in a limited workforce reduction and the departure of Chief Scientific Officer Daniel Lorrain, Ph.D.

• J&J Completes Enrollment in PIPE-307 Phase 2 Trial

  In June 2026, Johnson & Johnson completed enrollment of 107 participants in the Phase 2 MOONLIGHT-1 trial of JNJ-5120/PIPE-307 for major depressive disorder — a key milestone for the partnered asset.

• PROPEL-IPF Trial Advancing

  The global Phase 2 trial of PIPE-791 in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis now has more than 55 sites online across eight countries, with patient dosing initiated in Q1 2026.

A narrower Q2 net loss of $15.2M and a cash position of $236.6M extend Contineum's runway to mid-2029 — roughly a year beyond the expected completion of its pivotal IPF trial. The company also streamlined discovery programs, triggering a workforce reduction and the departure of its Chief Scientific Officer. Meanwhile, J&J completed enrollment in the Phase 2 MOONLIGHT-1 trial of PIPE-307, a key value driver. While the cash balance removes near-term financing risk, the R&D restructuring and CSO exit raise questions about pipeline prioritization.
