Thank you, Jody, and good afternoon, everyone. Thank you for joining our first quarter 2026 operating and financial update conference call. We continue to make great progress as we prepare for the potential approval and commercial launch of Get It Solicit in the third quarter. Achieving these milestones would be a pivotal moment for the women with advanced breast cancer who need new therapeutic options. With the groundbreaking data we have previously reported from the WildSide cohort and the recent announcement of positive data from the Mutant cohort of our Victoria 1 study, we believe Gattasilissa is well-positioned to become a new standard of care second-line therapy for patients with HR-positive or G-negative advanced breast cancer. It's been an eventful past few months for Cellcuity. Last week, we reported positive top-line results for the PIC3CA mutant cohort of the Phase 3 Victoria 1 clinical trial, and we look forward to presenting detailed results at a late-breaking abstract oral session at the 2026 ASCO meeting on June 2nd. Given the timing of our ASCO presentation, we'll not be answering questions regarding these results during the Q&A portion of our call. Second, this morning, we announced two important updates to our clinical development plans. First, we announced the expansion of our Phase 3 Victoria 2 trial to include a second study, evaluating data solicit as first-line treatment in patients with endocrine-sensitive, either a positive or two negative, advanced breast cancer. We're now positioned to evaluate nearly all patients in the first-line setting, irrespective of their endocrine sensitivity or PIC3CA status. And this offers the potential to advance the standard of care for the approximately 90,000 women each year who are newly diagnosed in the U.S., with HR-positive, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer. And secondly, we also announced this morning that we are advancing the development of a get-it-to-licit formulation for subcutaneous injection and that we have submitted our first patent application to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. The subcutaneous formulation is aimed at supporting potential future indications for get-it-to-licit regimens that may result in duration of treatment periods greater than several years. And finally, we remain optimistic about the outcome of the FDA's review of our NDA Assuming our NDA is approved, we intend to submit the FDA a supplemental new drug application based on the results of the PIC3CA mutant cohort in Victoria 1 and to submit Victoria 1 data for both the mutant and wild-type cohorts to other global regulatory authorities following the SMDA submission. Turning now to the top-line results for the PIC3CA mutant cohort. The primary efficacy analysis of Getazolizib combined with Fulvestrin and Tablacyclib, which we refer to as the Getazolizib triplet, demonstrated a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in progression-free survival compared to Alpalypsib, which is a PN3K alpha inhibitor, and Fulvestrin. The secondary endpoint of Getazolizib combined with Fulvestrin, which we refer to as the Getazolizib doublet, which was not part of the primary efficacy analysis in a hierarchical order, demonstrated a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in PSS compared to alpalypsis and fulvestrin. Both gadotelicid regimens were generally well-tolerated with manageable safety profiles and no new safety signals. When considered alongside previously presented data from the Victoria 1 PIK3CA wild-type cohort, the gadotelicid regimens have now demonstrated the potential to improve the standard of care in the second-line setting regardless of the PIK3CA status of the patient's tumor. And we believe the results from the Victoria 1 study validate our pioneering approach to targeting cancers involving the PI3K, AKT, mTOR, or PAM pathway. And researchers have sought for nearly 20 years to develop a drug that blockades this pathway comprehensively without inducing unacceptable levels of toxicity. Victoria 1 represents the first phase 3 study to demonstrate that comprehensively blocking the PAM pathway can significantly improve outcomes for patients with PIK3CA mutations compared to therapies only targeting a single component of this pathway. Now, as we've previously reported, the Victoria 1 PIK3CA WildSide cohort set several new benchmarks for clinical trials evaluating patients with HR-positive, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer. The hazard ratios for the GETA-solicit triplet and doublet were more favorable than has ever been reported by any Phase III trial for patients with HR-positive, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer. The 7.3 months incremental improvement in median PFS for the get a triplet over fulvestrin is higher than has ever been reported by any Phase III trial for patients with HR-positive, HERC-negative, advanced breast cancer, receiving at least their second line of endocrine therapy. And the 17.5 months of median duration of response for the get a thylacine triplet and 31% incremental increase in the objective response rate relative to the control for the get a triplet are the highest reported for an endocrine therapy-based regimen in the second-line setting. Now, both regimens were found to have a manageable safety profile that was well tolerated by patients, as evidenced by the 2% and 3% adverse event-related discontinuation rates for the triplet and doublet, respectively. We've also previously reported safety and tolerability-related analyses. In particular, for patients who experienced stomachitis, we reported that measures to mitigate it were generally effective, the median time to improvement from first onset to a lower grade of stomatitis for patients with grade 2 or grade 3 stomatitis who receive the get a solicit triplet was 12 and 14 days, respectively. Now, to characterize the overall tolerability of the get a solicit regimens, we reported results from patient-reported outcomes to capture a patient's perception of their overall well-being. A particular note was the stability of the patient's assessment of their well-being relative to their well-being prior to starting treatment with get a solicit Over the first eight cycles of treatment with getosilicib, patients reported no degradation in their sense of well-being, which we believe provides meaningful evidence that patients treated with getosilicib tolerate it well. Now let's talk about our Victoria 2 study. Results from the PIC3CA wild-type and mutation cohort of our Victoria 1 study demonstrated the benefit of getosilicib combination treatment in the second-line setting of HR-positive, protein-negative advanced breast cancer. And these results confirm the role the PAM pathway plays in patients with or without PIK3C mutations and the importance of multi-target inhibition of this pathway. Additionally, results from our Phase Ib clinical trial provided strong evidence that the PAM pathway is also an important disease driver in treatment-naive patients with advanced breast cancer. In the early phase study that we performed, we evaluated betafilicid plus toliciclib and leprazole, as first-line treatment in patients with endocrine-sensitive, HR-positive, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer. Median progression-free survival, or PFS, is 48.6 months. It compares favorably to historical data of approximately 25 months for ribocyclob plus letrozole. And the objective response rate was 79%, which, again, compares favorably to historical data of 53% for ribocyclob plus letrozole. In light of the positive results for the PIC3CA wild-type and mutant cohorts of VICTORIA-1 and the promising preliminary data for a get-a-source of triplet in this first-line treatment, we have high confidence that we can successfully develop a get-a-source of triplet for nearly all patients in the first-line setting, irrespective of their endocrine sensitivity or PIC3CA status. Successful development in the first-line setting would offer the potential to advance the standard of care for the approximately 90,000 women each year who were diagnosed with late-stage HR-positive, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer in the United States. So to achieve this goal, we amended several important elements of the Victoria 2 study design. First, Victoria 2 will now evaluate the safety and efficacy of patients with endocrine-sensitive, HR-positive, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer, in addition to those with endocrine-resistant disease. which was the original study. Endocrine-sensitive patients represent approximately two-thirds, or 60,000, of the 90,000 women in the U.S. newly diagnosed with advanced breast cancer each year. Current standard of care therapies for these patients provide median PFS of approximately 25 months. The patients will be assigned manually, according to their endocrine sensitivity status, to either study one, if they're endocrine-resistant, or study two, if they're endocrine-sensitive. and subsequently be randomized to a treatment arm. Each study will have independent statistical analysis plans that will include separate primary endpoints. Second, the primary efficacy analyses for both Study 1 and Study 2 of Victoria 2 will evaluate the entire Intention Tree population enrolled in their respective study. Primary endpoints for patient cohorts based on their PIC3CA status are no longer included. And this revision of the primary analyses allowed us to reduce the sample size for Study 1. the endocrine-resistant study, from 638 patients to 440 patients without affecting the power of the analysis. And third, the control arms for study one and study two will evaluate ribociclib combined with either fulvestrin for study one or lecozole for study two. Study one will enroll patients with treatment-naive endocrine-resistant advanced breast cancer. And these are women whose breast cancer progressed while receiving or within 12 months of completing adjuvant endocrine therapy. It's a more aggressive disease. The trial will evaluate the efficacy and safety of Gettyslicib combined with Pabo and Fulvestrin in arm A and compare that to Rivasiclib combined with Fulvestrin in arm B. We expect to have top-line data by the end of 2028 for this study. Study 2 is expected to enroll approximately 740 subjects with treatment-naive endocrine-sensitive advanced breast cancer. And these are women whose cancer relapsed to progress 12 months or more after completion of adjuvant endocrine therapy, or those with de novo metastatic disease who've had no prior endocrine therapy exposure. The trial will evaluate the efficacy and safety of gadotelicib combined with polycyclib and letrozole and compare itself to ribociclib combined with letrozole. The clinical trial primary endpoints for the Victoria 2 clinical trial are progression-free survival for Rhesus 1.1 criteria, as assessed by blinded independent central review. And we expect top-line data for the study 2 in the under-consensual patients to be available by 2030. And prior to finalizing this amended Phase 3 trial design, we conducted a type B meeting with the FDA to obtain their feedback and to gain alignment on these planned amendments. Now knowing that our life cycle plan would eventually include indications that may offer several years of progression-free survival benefit, we initiated a program to develop a subcutaneous formulation of Geta-Felicitin that would enable a patient to receive Geta-Felicitin as an injection, as an alternative to an infusion. And this program is ongoing with the goal of demonstrating clinical equivalence to the current intravenous formulation of getosilicib. And this work has resulted in a submission to the United States Patent and Trademark Office of our first patent application for an injectable formulation of getosilicib. Now let's turn to our Phase 1b2 trial that's evaluating getosilicib in combination with barolutamide and then with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. We presented data for the Phase 1b portion of the study at a poster presentation at ESMO last year. And in this portion of the trial, 38 patients were randomly assigned to receive standard doses of veraludamide twice daily and either 120 milligrams of getotelicib in arm 1 or 180 milligrams of getotelicib in arm 2. The combination of getotelicib and veraludamide was generally well-tolerated in the trial and mostly low-grade treatment-related adverse events. No dose-limiting toxicities were observed in either arm No patients discontinued study treatment due to an adverse event. For all patients treated, the six-month radiographic PFS rate was 67%, and the median radiographic PFS was 9.1 months. And these results compare favorably to historical results of a 40% six-month radiographic PFS rate for patients with metastatic testation-resistant prostate cancer or treated with an androgen receptor inhibitor as second-line treatment. Now, enrollment of Patients in the dose escalation portion of the trial is ongoing. We expect to provide a data update at an upcoming medical conference. Now, as we near what we hope is an FDA approval for Get It Felicit in 2026, our efforts to prepare for the potential launch of Get It Felicit continue to ramp up per our strategic launch plan. And we began laying the groundwork for a potential Get It Felicit launch over 24 months ago. Last call, we mentioned that we had largely completed building the commercial organization, except for the sales force. I'm excited to report now that we have since hired and onboarded all of our oncology sales specialists. They're a very experienced crew. On average, these individuals have 24 years of experience selling pharmaceuticals and 16 years of experience in oncology. They're an incredibly talented group of individuals who have a strong track record of successfully launching novel oncology therapeutics. And key efforts today include continuing our extensive outreach across the country to payers, strategic accounts, which include health systems, integrated delivery networks, and community oncology practices. We're also very encouraged by the results of research. We continue to feel to gauge the willingness of community and academic oncologists to prescribe Geta-Felicib should it get approved. And these results make us optimistic about the possibility of establishing Geta-Felicib as the new standard of care in the second-line setting for HR-positive, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer in the wild-type patient population. Now, with positive results from our study with patients whose tumors have PIK3C mutations, we expect the Gettys-Lissab combination regimens to be uniquely positioned to provide second-line therapy for patients regardless of their PIK3C mutation status. Based on the analysis of published epidemiological data, we estimate there are 37,000 patients in the U.S. receiving second-line treatment for HR-positive HER2-negative advanced breast cancer. And using internal duration of treatment estimates and pricing assumptions consistent with currently available novel therapies, therapeutics for breast cancer, we estimate the total addressable market for Get It to Listen in the second-line setting is more than $5 billion annually. Given the significant penetration our research is suggesting we can achieve, we believe it's reasonable to estimate that a second-line indication for Get It to Listen can potentially generate peak revenue of up to $2.5 billion annually. And so the progress we've made today is encouraging, and we look forward to providing you with updates over the next few quarters. Get It Solicit is well-positioned to address critical needs in the second-line space with its unique mechanism of action and potential first-in-class and best-in-class safety and efficacy profile. And this gives us an exciting opportunity to event potential blockbuster indications in breast cancer and prostate cancer while also aggressively preparing for and potentially launching Get It Solicit commercially should we receive FDA approval. And now I'd like to hand the call over to Vicki to review our finances.

speaker
Vicki Hahn
Chief Financial Officer

Thank you, Brian, and good afternoon, everyone. I'll provide a brief overview of our financial results for the first quarter, 2026. Our first quarter net loss was 52.8 million or 97 cents per share compared to a net loss of 37 million or 86 cents per share for the first quarter of 2025. Our non-GAAP adjusted net loss was 46.8 million or 86 cents per share for the first quarter of 2026 compared to non-GAAP adjusted net loss of $34.7 million or 81 cents per share for the first quarter of 2025. Research and development expenses were $33.1 million for the first quarter of 2026 compared to $29.8 million for the prior year period. The $3.3 million increase was primarily due to a $3 million increase in employee-related and consulting expenses, the remaining increase was primarily due to a $5.4 million increase in manufacturing and other costs, partially offset by a $5.1 million decrease in clinical trial costs, which was primarily driven by decreased costs for the Victoria I Phase III clinical trials. Selling, general, and administrative expenses were $17.4 million for the first quarter of 2026, compared to $6.3 million for the prior year period. The $11.1 million increase was primarily due to an $8.7 million increase in employee-related and consulting expenses, of which $6.6 million was due to commercial headcount, additions, and other launch-related activities. The remaining $2.4 million increase was primarily due to software costs, professional fees, and other administrative costs. Net cash used in operating activities for the first quarter of 2026 was $55.1 million compared to $35.9 million for the prior year period. The additional cash in operating activities quarter over quarter of $19.2 million was primarily due to non-GAAP adjusted net loss of $12.1 million and working capital adjustments of $7.1 million. Cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments were $387.1 million at the end of first quarter 2026. We expect cash, cash equivalents, and investments, and drawdowns on our debt facility to finance our operations through 2027. I will now hand the call back to Jody.

Thanks, Vicki. Before we turn the call to the operator for questions, I'll remind you, we will not be answering questions related to the Victoria 1 mutant cohort data being presented at ASCO on June 2nd or providing additional guidance on our expectations for data at this time. Matthew, could you please open the call for questions?

speaker
Matthew
Conference Operator

Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, we will now begin the question and answer session. Should you have a question? please press star followed by the number 1 on your touchtone phone. You will hear a prompt that your hand has been raised. Should you wish to decline from the polling process, please press star followed by the number 2. If you are using a speakerphone, please tip the handset before pressing any keys. One moment please for your first question. And your first question comes from Maury Raycroft of Jeffers. Please go ahead, your line is open.

speaker
Maury Raycroft
Analyst at Jefferies

Hi, congrats on the progress, and thanks for taking my questions. You're welcome. Maybe starting off, just wondering if you can provide any perspective into the nature of questions and interactions with FDA that you're getting ahead of the PDUFA date, and have you submitted a draft label, and are you in labeling discussions at this point?

speaker
Brian Sullivan
Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder

So, yeah, we're not going to provide that level of detail about the interactions, other than to say that there's nothing about the interactions to date that suggests that we will be off track for the PDUFMA decision by July 17th.

speaker
Maury Raycroft
Analyst at Jefferies

Got it. Okay. And then I wanted to ask about the sub-Q formulation as well. Wondering if there's anything more you could say about what you're seeing with preclinical data in respect to comparability on PKPD and dosing frequency, and can you talk more about timeline to move this version into the clinic and whether there could be any bridging efforts as it relates to the Victoria 2 study?

speaker
Brian Sullivan
Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder

Sure. So as far as the internal work, I mean, we're not going to be providing a play-by-play of the internal work, but I can speak to the timeline and the steps. I mean, obviously the first step, is optimizing the formulation itself. And it's required and you work with multiple candidates to ensure you've optimized it. Then you have to transfer that to manufacturing, scale it, ensure you have stability, etc., And then, ultimately, you end up with PK studies, you know, phase one to confirm the PK profile and map its equivalence to the ID formulation. And then, finally, we expect the FDA to probably require an equivalence study, phase three study. They've laid out some guidance on that front. And so, the goal is to have a sub-Q forum available, basically, along the same timeline that we would expect to get an approval or hope to get an approval for the endocrine-sensitive population.

speaker
Maury Raycroft
Analyst at Jefferies

Got it. Okay. That's helpful. Thanks for taking my questions, and I'll hop back in. You're welcome.

speaker
Matthew
Conference Operator

Okay. Thank you. And your next question comes from Tara Bancroft of TD Tower. Please go ahead. Your line is open.

speaker
Tara Bancroft
Analyst at TD Tower

Hi. Good afternoon. So my question is, you know, not about the mutant data, more about some educational historical background. So, you know, because in thinking about the range for a Pellicib and Sylvester in a five to seven month, can you just, from your view of historical trials, some context around the bookends of that range from by-leave cohort C to then cohort A and Epic B5 in terms of patient characteristics that you think most contributed to the difference there, just to help us understand?

speaker
Brian Sullivan
Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder

Yeah, I don't want to speak directly other than to say that, you know, there's always a certain amount of heterogeneity between trials and patient populations that get enrolled. And so anytime you're looking at potential results for a particular therapy, we think it's best to look at the range and not get overly fixated on trying to calculate the probability. It's just not practically possible. And so the data that's been reported is, you know, really the only, we think, data that can be assessed to understand, you know, what the performance of drug-like opalexib can do.

speaker
Ribo

Okay, great. Thanks.

speaker
Matthew
Conference Operator

Thank you. And your next question comes from Andrew Behrens of Leary Partners. Please go ahead. Your line is open.

speaker
Andrew Behrens
Analyst at Leary Partners

Hi, thanks for taking the questions and congrats on the progress, Brian. Looking forward to seeing the data at ASCO in Chicago. My questions are about the sub-Q announcement today. We've been trying to think of an analog of a small molecule that was given IV and then was changed to subcutaneous you know most of them are antibiotics and there's not really a benefit going sub-q there is is there one that you could point us to to get an idea of kind of the process of the regulatory process and then also um would you expect that the the You know, the PK and the C-max would change when you go from intravenous to sub-Q. And we've heard some speculation about, you know, the mucositis maybe being related to C-max. I'm just wondering if you think that would come down to the sub-Q version.

speaker
Brian Sullivan
Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder

Okay. So as far as – thanks for the question. As far as the regulatory process, I think there's a general process that FDA requires to assess drugs that are injected in some form, others injected or infused, and we expect that our process or our program will follow those requirements. And I outline those in one of the prior questions, you know, essentially where you have to characterize the PK profile for a variety of reasons, but then also then characterize the equivalence from an efficacy standpoint. To date, it appears that when you are introducing a new formulation that has a different route, you know, even if it's still being systemically administered directly, you do need to demonstrate clinical equivalence. And based on some recent guidance, it appears that the FDA's position is that if you demonstrate equivalence in one indication, that data will then, and that approval, will allow that new formulation to be used for any other indications that may exist. And so we expect that to be the path forward for us. And, you know, we'll take it from there.

speaker
Andrew Behrens
Analyst at Leary Partners

Okay. And then what about the PK and the CMAX?

speaker
Brian Sullivan
Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder

Any insights on how... No, I mean, obviously, from a development standpoint, I mean, the perfect world is you match PK profile as... closely as you can, or at least you kind of focus on certain ranges. As far as speculating about the stomatitis effect like that, it's just too premature to get into that. It's certainly, we think, a function of the C-max, and the fact that the concentration settles in after a few hours at a much lower concentration and basically remains stable. And we think that's one of the reasons why patients have reported the drug to be very well tolerated, not affecting their quality of life. And so, you know, certainly there's ways of thinking about administering the drug or formulating it that would allow you to try to optimize that. And those are all will be elements of the development program that we'll be evaluating. Okay.

speaker
Andrew Behrens
Analyst at Leary Partners

Well, congrats again on continuing to move the needle. Thank you.

speaker
Matthew
Conference Operator

Thank you. And your next question comes from Stephen Willey of Stifo. Please go ahead. Your line is open.

speaker
Stephen Willey
Analyst at Stifo

Yeah, good afternoon. Thanks for taking the questions and congrats on the announcement today. So I know that we've seen frontline market share in the end of consensual setting kind of largely influenced by longer term OS data. So just curious as you were thinking about the sizing of VIC-II study to kind of how this factored into the design and whether you might be able to provide just any preliminary powering assumptions on either OS or PFS.

speaker
Brian Sullivan
Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder

Well, OS becomes, in effect, the way to break the tie when you have three regimens that offer almost the equivalent progression-free survival. And that was, you know, the case with the CDK for six drugs. And Ribo then subsequently demonstrated that it offered a survival benefit. But we'll be comparing ourselves to Ribo. And if we offer a progression-free survival period that's superior to Ribo, and we show that there's no decrement in overall survival, that would, in effect, achieve the goal of demonstrating that there's a clinical benefit for these patients. Certainly, for any study you do, you'd like to show that there's a survival advantage relative to what you're comparing to. But if we achieve PFS and show no decrement in OS, we'll essentially satisfy, you know, certainly the regulatory requirements. and we think will satisfy the clinical expectations for a drug. Certainly, the drug has to offer a meaningful increase in incremental PFS. You know, three months on top of 10 is different than three months on top of 25. So we're mindful of that and then design the study to reflect the expectations that you need more than three months to demonstrate clinically meaningful benefits. All right.

speaker
Ribo

Thanks for taking the question. You're welcome.

speaker
Matthew
Conference Operator

Thank you. And your next question comes from Brad Caninos of Guggenheim Securities. Please go ahead and line it in.

speaker
Brad Caninos
Analyst at Guggenheim Securities

Hey, Brian and team. It's great to see the strong progress on my end as well.

speaker
Andrew Behrens
Analyst at Leary Partners

You're welcome.

speaker
Brad Caninos
Analyst at Guggenheim Securities

For the sub-Q. Is the, and sorry if I missed this on the call, I missed some of the prepared remarks. Is the formulation completed and have you conducted animal models with it yet or is this still in process?

speaker
Brian Sullivan
Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder

Well, I mean, again, we're not going to give play-by-play on each stage of the program other than to say, that we have multiple candidates that we're advancing and we're, you know, in the middle of doing a variety of both stability studies to confirm and to characterize the formulation itself as well as evaluating, you know, the other non-clinical parameters including, you know, animal studies and work like that.

speaker
Brad Caninos
Analyst at Guggenheim Securities

Okay. And maybe it would be helpful, are there any certain

speaker
Brian Sullivan
Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder

properties about getta that support its translation to a substitute formulation that could give investors confidence um well other than we we're confident we'll be able to develop it um you know uh every drug has its own challenges when it comes to you know converting it to a more concentrated form and uh i think part of the advance that we've made is is that it requires invention which is good because it's not an obvious approach and it's one that we think will certainly enhance our intellectual property position significantly. But as far as signaling how to interpret the likelihood that we'll be successful, I would say we're very confident.

speaker
Brad Caninos
Analyst at Guggenheim Securities

And then just anything you can say about what you're seeing so far about predicted dose, not so much disclosure of the dose, but how that might shape the specific device that you can use for the patient in the administration time?

speaker
Brian Sullivan
Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder

I think you're referring to the volume. You know, the dose itself will be the same, and it's just a matter of translating that dose into a smaller volume so it's injectable. We have targets internally. We have functional requirements that we're – and, you know, so far we fully expect to meet the functional requirements that would allow it to be in injectable form.

speaker
Ribo

Okay, great. Thanks for taking the questions, and look forward to seeing the rest of it. Great.

speaker
Matthew
Conference Operator

Thank you. Thank you, and your next question comes from Oliver McCammon of LiveSite Hackatel. Please go ahead. Your line is open.

speaker
Oliver McCammon
Analyst at LiveSite Hackatel

Hi, Brian. Thanks for taking my questions. Just thinking about the endocrine-sensitive study, I'm wondering if there are any learnings to take from the Paloma trials experience in terms of being thoughtful about patient follow-up and powering for OS. Thanks again.

speaker
Brian Sullivan
Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder

There's a lot of learnings from the Paloma II and also from the Mona Lisa II Ribo study. And believe me, we've taken in the learnings from the Ribo study more than the Paloma study. So we think, you know, there's certainly a way to design the study in a way that maximizes your opportunity to potentially demonstrate an overall survival advantage.

speaker
Ribo

Thanks again.

speaker
Matthew
Conference Operator

Thank you. And your next question comes from Eva Forti of Wells Fargo. Please go ahead. Your line is open.

speaker
Eva Forti
Analyst at Wells Fargo

Hey, good afternoon. Congrats on the progress, and thanks for getting our questions. Do you have any updated thoughts on the competitive positioning for Java versus other P3 indicators in development, and how do you see this evolving with a subcutaneous formulation coming online? Thanks.

speaker
Brian Sullivan
Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder

Well, I think, you know, details to follow, but we did report that get a doublet system, a head-to-head, a replacement for an existing PIC3CA approved drug was statistically significantly and clinically meaningfully differentiated. from a single target inhibitor and ultimately what we think we've been saying has been confirmed which is that multi-target inhibition of this pathway is required to optimize anti-tumor control and that single target inhibitors are going to be limited. If you look at the data for Opalipsib and Campyvacetor you'd see that the hazard ratios that they have reported in patients who have prior CDK treatment are very similar, you know, roughly 0.5 compared to Fulvestrin. And so we've demonstrated that we're superior to that. And what we think that means is that, you know, the approach will be at a, you know, a disadvantage going forward. Just from a benefit standpoint, it will not be able to that approach we do not believe offers the potential to provide comparable efficacy.

Good afternoon, everyone, and congrats on the progress and the best of results time. Just a couple of quick points from us. One, as it relates again to the potential for a sub-Q formulation, is there any chance that would change kind of the, you apparently have a very specific schedule of dosing, where there could be any changes to that, or how do you view this? I have a follow-up.

speaker
Brian Sullivan
Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder

Sure. Those are factors that go beyond simply the formulation because it gets to the overall PK profile of data and what's required to sustain sufficient target engagement. And so I think that question is broader than simply sub-Q. I think it relates more generally to how to administer or rather how frequently data needs to be administered. And so, you know, how we answer that question, if it's different over time, you know, will be the byproduct of, you know, studies probably involving the infused form because we have that now and we can evaluate that. And then, you know, to the extent that we find ways to, potentially alter the administration schedule, you know, that would be applied if that were to happen to a potential subcutaneous formulation.

Yeah, that makes sense. And just interesting to hear your thoughts of recent news from one of your veterans, Ankur. decided to move away from a F3 selective mutant to an alpha-specific? If you have any thoughts on that. Thank you.

speaker
Brian Sullivan
Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder

Well, you know, I think, again, there's only so much biological potential that targeting the alpha, you know, P10 alpha gives you. And I think that's less a function maybe of the targeting, more a function of, you know, increasing the potential patient population that they're open to treat. You know, they had a more selective approach that essentially meant that they would have a smaller patient population and, you know, I would imagine they found some results that indicated they didn't need to be that specific. And in epilepsy, generally targets and their indications include, you know, the 12 or 13 most common mutations. And there's been some evidence of variation in response to those mutations. patients, depending on their mutations. But, you know, I'm not sure that that is this positive in how you think about developing for that population. So, you know, they've got data, I'm sure, that is guiding their decisions. And, again, it is in the context of, you know, what we think is limited biological potential for this treatment effect when you limit targeting to the alpha isoform.

Thank you. And your next question comes from Kalpi Patel of Wolf Research. Please go ahead. Your line is open.

speaker
Kalpi Patel
Analyst at Wolfe Research

Hey, good afternoon, and thanks for taking my question. One from us, another one of the sub-Q formulation, you know, would you characterize data as anti-tumor effect? as being CMAX-driven or AUC-driven, and how does that inform your confidence on the sub-P formulation that it can achieve clinical equivalence to an IV?

speaker
Brian Sullivan
Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder

Yeah, those are, I mean, those are good questions, and I think every drug company tries to tease that out. There's been a lot of work that people have done to try to kind of determine whether a drug is more CMAX versus total volume, total exposure. You know, I think an argument could be made that it's both, that you've got to benefit the high-seam action in the getter case and then, you know, the sustained target engagement. So, you know, again, your roadmap is going to factor in what we've seen to date. So that's the best approach to take is see how close you can match that curve, knowing that it won't be exact. but there are other ways you can affect that, and, you know, we're taking those other factors into account.

speaker
Ribo

Okay. Thank you. You're welcome.

And your next question comes from Sylvain Turcan of Citizens. Please go ahead. Your line is open.

speaker
Sylvain Turcan
Analyst at Citizens

Yeah, thank you for taking my question, and congrats on all the progress. I'm looking forward to ASCO. Maybe if I can ask around ASCO, not about the data, but in general, it seems it's a very important venue for you, especially with the producer in the wild-type patients ahead. What's your strategy there to interact with doctors? What sort of events do you have planned, and what is your messaging on the wild-type population here ahead of the approval? Thank you.

speaker
Brian Sullivan
Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder

You're welcome. Well, we'll have an army of folks at ASCO that are mostly there to, you know, medical professionals to be able to engage with doctors and exchange information. But there's a lot of other work that can be done as well. Certainly, it's a big venue. A lot of doctors will have... opportunity to communicate the results. But no, we view it as a great staging ground to lay the groundwork for what we hope is a future launch over the summer. And so, no, we're very excited about the timing of ASCO and its alignment with the schedule we're on, we hope, to get an approval.

speaker
Sylvain Turcan
Analyst at Citizens

Great, thank you. And have you done already some payer feedback discussions and kind of around coverage. Do you have any comments around that?

speaker
Brian Sullivan
Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder

We've had a lot of discussions. We built our payer team, which includes a team focused on chief accounts and then a team focused on payers' national accounts. And we've been engaging in great depth and length with them for almost a year. And I've been very, very encouraged by the feedback we've gotten Their formal review really doesn't take place until you have an approval and you submit a dossier. But along the way, you can certainly get their input about their expectations. You can learn about the system and exactly what their requirements are and ensure that when it comes time to make decisions, that everybody on these various committees is well informed and feels comfortable with getting, and from their perspective, the the proposition that it offers to their patients and to the, you know, relative reimbursement expectations. So, no, we've made a lot of, we're, I would say, very, very well along in laying that groundwork and being in a great, great position once the approval comes to really move expeditiously with the various accounts I described.

speaker
Ribo

Thanks so much for the call.

Thank you. And your next question comes from Chase Knickerbocker of CreateHalo. Please go ahead. Your line is open.

speaker
Chase Knickerbocker
Analyst at CreateHalo

Good afternoon. Thanks for taking the questions. Just wanted to maybe just assess kind of your current kind of commercial readiness. You know, in the past couple months, there's been a a couple of early oncology approvals relative to Pidufidate. So, Brian, I just want to get your thoughts on kind of where you think you sit from an innings perspective is kind of having your team ready for a potential launch in wild type.

speaker
Brian Sullivan
Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder

Sure. Again, all of these situations with some of these early approvals are, I would say, situationally based. You know, there was an approval recently for a drug that had a regular review And it came in a few weeks early. And we have a priority review for new drugs, six-month review period. And historically, our tour reviews of drugs with priority designation occur pretty much in line with the producement date. And that's been our governing assumption. Now, internally, you know, we've, you know, identified a launch ready date that's before PDUMA, so we'll make sure that we are ready to roll when we hope the approval decision comes.

speaker
Ribo

Helpful. Thank you.
