• Q2 2026 Financial Results

  Net loss widened to $34.5M from $22.0M in Q2 2025, driven by higher R&D and G&A expenses. R&D expenses reached $25.5M, reflecting increased NGN-401 clinical and CMC activities.

• Cash Runway Extended into Q1 2029

  Pro forma cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments of ~$360.2M as of June 30, 2026, including $134.8M net proceeds from the July 2026 public offering, are expected to fund operations through the Embolden data readout and BLA submission.

• PPQ Campaign Initiated

  A Process Performance Qualification (PPQ) campaign started in July 2026 to support a planned Biologics License Application (BLA) for NGN-401; completion of PPQ runs is expected by year-end 2026.

• Embolden Registrational Trial Fully Enrolled

  All 25 participants have been dosed in the Embolden trial, exceeding the target due to high demand; topline data are anticipated in 2H 2027.

Neurogene's Q2 update reinforces the NGN-401 program's momentum with strong Phase 1/2 data, a fully enrolled registrational trial, and the start of manufacturing qualification runs. The extended cash runway into 2029 removes near-term financing risk, while the PPQ initiation signals a concrete step toward a BLA submission. The net loss widened, but the focus remains on the clear path to topline Embolden data in 2H 2027.
