Elicio Therapeutics continues to face substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern, with its cash runway now projected only into the fourth quarter of 2026. The company is actively utilizing its At-The-Market (ATM) offering, having raised $8.0 million in Q1 2026 and an additional $5.0 million through May 8, 2026.
