This 8-K formally discloses Valion Bio's Q1 2026 financial results, which were previously reported by news outlets today. The company's net loss of $6.2 million is more than double its current market capitalization, signaling severe financial distress. The rapid cash burn, with cash reserves dropping by $5.4 million in a single quarter to $7.2 million, indicates a critically short cash runway.
