Analysis · SLN · Life Sciences
A sharply narrower Q2 net loss of $12.3 million, compared with $27.4 million a year ago, reflects reduced R&D spending after Silence Therapeutics completed Phase 3 readiness for zerlasiran. Cash jumped to $72.1 million from $11.3 million at year-end, largely from maturing short-term investments, extending the runway into 2028. The Phase 2 SANRECO trial for lead asset divesiran in polycythemia vera completed dosing, with topline data due this month — a near-term catalyst. No shares were sold under the $100 million ATM program during the quarter, easing immediate dilution concerns. The filing also disclosed a separation agreement with the former CEO, modifying unvested option terms in a change-of-control scenario.
