4. Significant Collaborative Research and License Agreements
Incyte Collaboration
In September 2021, the Company entered into the Incyte License with Incyte, covering the worldwide development and commercialization of axatilimab. Also in September 2021, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement with Incyte, or the Incyte Share Purchase Agreement. These agreements are collectively referred to as the Incyte Agreements. Under the terms of the Incyte Agreements, Incyte received exclusive commercialization rights outside of the United States, subject to certain royalty payment obligations set forth below. In the United States, Incyte and the Company are co-commercializing and co-promoting axatilimab as Niktimvo (axatilimab-csfr). The Company and Incyte share equally the profits and losses from co-commercialization efforts in the United States.
The Company and Incyte have agreed to continue to co-develop axatilimab and to share development costs associated with global and additional U.S.-specific clinical trials, with Incyte responsible for 55% of such costs and the Company responsible for 45% of such costs. Each company will be responsible for funding any of its own independent development activities. Incyte is responsible for 100% of future development costs for trials that are specific to ex-U.S. countries. All development costs related to the collaboration will be subject to a joint development plan.
Under the terms of the Incyte Agreements, in December 2021, Incyte paid the Company a non-refundable cash payment of $117.0 million and the Company issued 1,421,523 shares of common stock with an aggregate purchase price of $35.0 million, or $24.62 per share. Additionally, under the terms of the Incyte Agreements, the Company is eligible to receive up to $220.0 million in future contingent development and regulatory milestones and up to $230.0 million in commercialization milestones as well as tiered royalties ranging in the mid-teens percentage on net sales of the licensed product comprising axatilimab in Europe and Japan and low double digit percentage in the rest of the world outside of the United States. The Company’s right to receive royalties in any particular country will expire upon the last to occur of (a) the expiration of licensed patent rights covering the licensed product in that particular country, (b) a specified period of time after the first post-marketing authorization sale of a licensed product in that country, and (c) the expiration of any regulatory exclusivity for that licensed product in that country.
In August 2024, the FDA approved Niktimvo for the treatment of cGVHD after failure of at least two prior lines of systemic therapy in adult and pediatric patients weighing at least 40 kg (88.2 lbs). As a result of the approval of Niktimvo, the Company earned a revenue milestone of $12.5 million, which was received in the third quarter of 2024. Upon the achievement of $150.0 million in net sales of Niktimvo, the Company recognized a $5.0 million milestone receivable in the fourth quarter of 2025, which was received in the first quarter of 2026.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company has recognized collaboration revenue of $15.9 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company recognized $0.2 million of collaboration loss. As of March 31, 2026, the Company has recorded approximately $24.7 million as a collaboration receivable due from Incyte related to the Company's portion of the profit share, commercialization and development costs under the Incyte Agreements and has recorded approximately $4.2 million as a collaboration payable due to Incyte for development and commercialization costs incurred by Incyte. The Company’s share of collaboration profit or loss is based on net sales of Niktimvo and the collaborative commercialization expenses.
Vitae Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
In October 2017, the Company entered into a license agreement, or the Vitae License Agreement, with Vitae Pharmaceuticals, Inc., or Vitae, a subsidiary of AbbVie, Inc., or AbbVie, under which the Company was granted an exclusive, sublicensable, worldwide license to a portfolio of preclinical, orally available, small molecule inhibitors of the Menin–KMT2A binding interaction, or the Menin Assets. Upon execution of the Vitae License Agreement, the Company agreed to pay Allergan (the predecessor in interest to AbbVie) up to $99.0 million in one-time development and regulatory milestone payments over the term of the Vitae License Agreement, subject to the achievement of certain milestone events. In the event that the Company or any of its affiliates or sublicensees commercializes the Menin Assets, the Company will also be obligated to pay Vitae low single to low double-digit percentage royalties on sales, subject to reduction in certain circumstances, as well as up to an aggregate of $70.0 million in potential one-time, sales-based milestone payments based on achievement of certain annual sales thresholds. The Company is solely responsible for the development and commercialization of the Menin Assets. Each party may terminate the Vitae License Agreement for the other party’s uncured material breach or insolvency, and the Company may terminate the Vitae License Agreement at any time upon advance written notice to Vitae. Vitae may terminate the Vitae License Agreement if the Company or any of its affiliates or sublicensees institutes a legal challenge to the validity, enforceability, or patentability of the licensed patent rights. Unless terminated earlier in accordance with its terms, the Vitae License Agreement will continue on a country-by-country and product-by-product basis until the later of: (i) the expiration of all of the licensed patent rights in such country; (ii) the expiration of all regulatory exclusivity applicable to the product in such country; and (iii) 10 years from the date of the first commercial sale of the product in such country.
As of the date of the Vitae License Agreement, the asset acquired had no alternative future use nor had it reached a stage of technological feasibility. As the processes or activities that were acquired along with the license do not constitute a “business,” the transaction has been accounted for as an asset acquisition. As a result, in 2017, the upfront payment of $5.0 million was recorded as research and development expense in the consolidated statements of operations. Since the inception of the Vitae License Agreement, the Company achieved certain development and regulatory milestones resulting in $38.0 million in expense, which includes an $18.0 million milestone expense in 2024 and a $12.0 million expense in 2025, related to the submission of a supplemental New Drug Application, or sNDA, for Revuforj and the first United States sale of Revuforj in its second indication.
UCB Biopharma Sprl
In 2016, the Company entered into a license agreement, or the UCB License Agreement, as amended from time to time, with UCB Biopharma Sprl, or UCB, under which UCB granted to the Company a worldwide, sublicensable, exclusive license to UCB6352, which the Company refers to as axatilimab, an anti-CSF-1R monoclonal antibody. Upon execution of the agreement, the Company agreed to pay UCB up to $119.5 million in one-time development and regulatory milestone payments over the term of the UCB License Agreement, subject to the achievement of certain milestone events. In the event that the Company or any of its affiliates or sublicensees commercializes axatilimab, the Company will also be obligated to pay UCB low double-digit percentage royalties on sales, subject to reduction in certain circumstances, as well as up to an aggregate of $250.0 million in potential one-time, sales-based milestone payments based on achievement of certain annual sales thresholds. Under certain circumstances, the Company may be required to share a percentage of non-royalty income from sublicensees, subject to certain deductions, with UCB. The Company is solely responsible for the development and commercialization of axatilimab, except that UCB was responsible for performing a limited set of transitional chemistry, manufacturing and control tasks related to axatilimab. Each party may terminate the UCB License Agreement for the other party’s uncured material breach or insolvency, and the Company may terminate the UCB License Agreement at any time upon advance written notice to UCB. UCB may terminate the UCB License Agreement if the Company or any of its affiliates or sublicensees institutes a legal challenge to the validity, enforceability, or patentability of the licensed patent rights. Unless terminated earlier in accordance with its terms, the UCB License Agreement will continue on a country-by-country and product-by-product basis until the later of: (i) the expiration of all of the licensed patent rights in such country; (ii) the expiration of all regulatory exclusivity applicable to the product in such country; and (iii) 10 years from the date of the first commercial sale of the product in such country.
As of the date of the UCB License Agreement, the asset acquired had no alternative future use nor had it reached a stage of technological feasibility. As the processes or activities that were acquired along with the license do not constitute a “business,” the transaction has been accounted for as an asset acquisition. As a result, in 2016, the upfront payment of $5.0 million was recorded as research and development expense in the consolidated statements of operations. In connection with its most recent amendment of the UCB License Agreement, in the second quarter of 2022 the Company paid UCB $5.8 million, which was recognized as a milestone expense. Since the effective date of the license agreement, the Company achieved certain development and regulatory milestones and has recorded $41.0 million as research and development expense, which includes a $15.0 million milestone paid during the third quarter of 2024 upon the approval of Niktimvo and a $10 million milestone recognized in the first quarter of 2025 for the first patient dosed in a Phase III study with the compound in a combination with another agent. The Company also recognized a $10.0 million commercial milestone expense in the fourth quarter of 2025 upon the achievement of $150.0 million in net sales of Niktimvo.
5. Net Loss per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders
Basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Because the Company has reported a net loss for all periods presented, diluted net loss per common share is the same as basic net loss per common share for those periods. The following table summarizes the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders of the Company:

6. Other Receivables, net
In April 2024, entinostat received marketing approval in China, and as a result, the Company recorded $3.5 million of milestone revenue in 2024. The Company had recorded a $3.7 million receivable related to milestones (plus accrued interest) under the license agreement with Eddingpharm in 2025, which remains outstanding as of March 31, 2026. As the receivable remains outstanding, and the Company has assessed the amount as non-recoverable, the Company recorded a full reserve against the asset as a selling, general and administrative expense in 2025.
7. Fair Value Measurements
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximated their estimated fair values due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value are performed in a manner to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The accounting standard describes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value, which are the following:
Level 1— Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the market date for identical unrestricted assets or liabilities.
Level 2— Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs for which all significant inputs are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3— Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

12. Royalty Interest Financing Liability
On November 4, 2024, the Company entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement, or the Purchase and Sale Agreement, with Royalty Pharma Development Funding, LLC, or Royalty Pharma, pursuant to which Royalty Pharma purchased rights to certain revenue streams from net sales of products comprising or containing axatilimab (including Niktimvo) by the Company, its affiliates and its licensees in the United States and its respective territories, districts, commonwealths and possessions (including Guam and Puerto Rico) in exchange for an upfront fee of $350 million.
Pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement, Royalty Pharma purchased the right to receive a percentage of net sales equal to a royalty rate of 13.8% on quarterly net sales of Niktimvo in the United States and its respective territories; provided that the royalty rate is subject to certain adjustments based on future aggregate net sales of the product in the United States and its respective territories, or the Revenue Participation Right. Aggregate payments made to Royalty Pharma in respect of the Revenue Participation Right will be capped at $822.5 million, or the Royalty Cap.
The Purchase and Sale Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and indemnities of the Company and Royalty Pharma and customary covenants relating to the royalty payments, including the grant of a back-up security interest in the purchased royalties and certain assets related to the product and restrictions on the incurrence of additional indebtedness and on the existence of liens on the Company’s assets related to the product.
Upon a change of control, the Company will have the right, but not the obligation, to repurchase the Revenue Participation Right at a repurchase price set forth in the Purchase and Sale Agreement. In addition, the Purchase and Sale Agreement provides that if certain events of default occur, including certain bankruptcy events or certain termination events with respect to the Company’s license agreement with UCB Biopharma Srl, Royalty Pharma may require the Company to repurchase Royalty Pharma’s interests in the Revenue Participation Right at a repurchase price equal to the Royalty Cap.
The Company assessed the Purchase and Sale Agreement and identified it as a sale of future revenue in the form of a debt instrument to be accounted for as a liability under Topic ASC 470, Borrower’s Accounting for Debt Modifications. The Company has elected to use the prospective method in its calculation of its effective interest rate and will update this calculation quarterly when there are changes in the projected sales. Issuance costs pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement consisted primarily of bank and legal fees and totaled $6.3 million. These issuance costs were recorded as a direct deduction to the carrying amount of the liability and will be amortized under the effective interest method over the estimated period the liability will be repaid. For the period ended March 31, 2026, the Company estimated an effective annual interest rate of approximately 13.02%. Over the course of the Purchase and Sale Agreement, the annual interest rate will be affected by the amount and timing of net Niktimvo revenue recognized and change in timing of forecasted net Niktimvo revenue. On a quarterly basis, the Company reassesses the expected timing of the net Niktimvo revenue, recalculates the amortization and effective interest rate, and adjusts the accounting prospectively, as needed. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company recognized royalty interest expense of $11.8 million, related to the Purchase and Sale Agreement. The Company made $7.7 million of payments on the Purchase and Sale Agreement during the period ended March 31, 2026.

Pre-Funded Warrants
In December 2021, the Company sold pre-funded warrants to purchase 1,142,856 shares of common stock. As of March 31, 2026, 285,714 pre-funded warrants were issued and outstanding.
15. Commitments and Contingencies
License Agreements
The Company is obligated to pay royalties pursuant to the Vitae License Agreement and the UCB License Agreement as a percentage of net product sales for direct licensed products, such as Revuforj and Niktimvo. The obligation to pay royalties expires, on a country-by-country basis and licensed product-by-licensed product basis at the later of (i) the expiration of all of the licensed patent
rights in such country; (ii) the expiration of all regulatory exclusivity applicable to the product in such country; and (iii) 10 years from the date of the first commercial sale of the product in such country. These fees were recorded as cost of product sales.
From time to time, the Company may be subject to various claims and proceedings in the ordinary course of business. If the potential loss from any claim, asserted or unasserted, or proceeding is considered probable and the amount is reasonably estimable, the Company will accrue a liability for the estimated loss. There were no contingent liabilities recorded as of March 31, 2026.
16. Segment Reporting
The Company manages its business activities on a consolidated basis and operate as a single operating and reportable segment: Syndax Pharmaceuticals. The Company primarily derives revenue in the United States through milestone revenue and product sales on the approved products, Revuforj® (revumenib) and Niktimvo (axatilimab-csfr). The accounting policies of the segment are the same as those described in Note 3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.
To assess performance, the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker, or CODM, Michael Metzger, uses consolidated net loss as the segment’s measure of segment profit or loss. The CODM uses net loss in the budget and forecasting process and considers budget-to actual variances on a quarterly basis when making decisions about the allocation of operating and capital resources.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following information should be read in conjunction with the unaudited financial information and the notes thereto included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, or the Quarterly Report, and the audited financial information and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, on February 26, 2026.
Company Overview
We are a commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company advancing innovative cancer therapies. We currently have two commercially approved medicines, Revuforj® (revumenib) and Niktimvo (axatilimab-csfr), and a robust slate of clinical development programs.
Revuforj is our first-in-class menin inhibitor that was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, in November 2024 for the treatment of relapsed or refractory, or R/R, acute leukemia with a lysine methyltransferase 2A gene, or KMT2A, translocation in adult and pediatric patients one year and older. In October 2025, Revuforj received a second approval from the FDA for the treatment of R/R acute myeloid leukemia, or AML, with a susceptible nucleophosmin 1 mutation, or NPM1m, in adult and pediatric patients one year and older who have no satisfactory alternative treatment options. We are also studying revumenib in combination with standard-of-care agents in NPM1m AML or KMT2A-rearranged, or KMT2Ar, acute leukemia across the treatment landscape, including in newly diagnosed patients. Additionally, we are exploring the potential for menin inhibition in the treatment of myelofibrosis, or MF.
Niktimvo is our first-in-class colony stimulating factor-1 receptor, or CSF-1R, blocking antibody that was approved by the FDA in August 2024 for the treatment of chronic graft-versus-host disease, or cGVHD, after failure of at least two prior lines of systemic therapy in adult and pediatric patients weighing at least 40 kg. Axatilimab is in development for the treatment of newly diagnosed cGVHD patients in combination with standard-of-care therapies, and for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, or IPF.
We licensed the global rights to revumenib and axatilimab, the first two FDA approved medicines to emerge from our pipeline. We are leading the commercialization and further development of revumenib and working closely with our collaboration partner, Incyte, on the commercialization and further development of axatilimab. We plan to continue to leverage the technical and business expertise of our management team and scientific collaborators to license, acquire and develop additional therapeutics to expand our pipeline.
We have incurred significant operating losses since our inception. While we generate product revenue from sales of Revuforj and collaboration as well as milestone revenue from sales of Niktimvo, we continue to incur significant research and development and other expenses related to our ongoing operations. Except for 2021, we have not been profitable and have incurred losses in each period since our inception in 2005. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, we reported a net loss of $42.7 million and $84.8 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2026, we had an accumulated deficit of $1.5 billion. As of March 31, 2026, we had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $352.1 million

•Achieved $48.9 million in Revuforj net revenue in the first quarter of 2026, representing a 144% increase over the first quarter of 2025 and an 11% increase over the fourth quarter of 2025. Total prescriptions increased by approximately 160% compared to the first quarter of 2025 and approximately 13% compared to the fourth quarter of 2025. Notably, recent analysis indicates that nearly half of KMT2A patients are proceeding to a hematopoietic stem cell transplant, or HSCT, after receiving Revuforj, a significant increase from prior estimates of 33% of KMT2A patients. We expect this growing transplant rate to extend the average treatment duration as an increasing number of patients return to therapy after transplant.
•We expect the presentation of new revumenib data from multiple ongoing studies at major medical meetings throughout 2026.
New/updated data expected in the second quarter of 2026:
•Findings from a multicenter real-world study.
•Post-HSCT maintenance data from multiple trials and centers.
•R/R NUP98-rearranged, or NUP98r, acute leukemia data from patients treated in the AUGMENT-101 trial or via an expanded access program.
•R/R data from the SAVE trial of revumenib in combination with venetoclax and decitabine/cedazuridine in NPM1m, KMT2Ar, and NUP98r acute leukemia.
•Frontline data from the Phase 1 trial of revumenib in combination with intensive chemotherapy in NPM1m, KMT2Ar, or NUP98r AML.
New/updated data expected in the second half of 2026:
•Frontline data from the BEAT AML trial of revumenib in combination with venetoclax/azacitidine in NPM1m and KMT2Ar AML.
•R/R data from the Phase 1 trial of revumenib in combination with gilteritinib in AML patients with a FLT3 mutation and a KMT2A translocation, NPM1m, or any other mutation associated with HOX-MEIS1 overexpression.
•Multiple clinical trials evaluating revumenib across the acute leukemia treatment continuum are ongoing, such as:
•EVOLVE-2: A pivotal, Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of revumenib in combination with venetoclax and azacitidine in newly diagnosed NPM1m (primary efficacy analysis population) and KMT2Ar AML patients who are unfit for intensive chemotherapy. The trial is being conducted in collaboration with the HOVON network, a leading cooperative clinical trial group with extensive experience studying novel therapies for hematologic malignancies.
•REVEAL-ND: A pivotal, Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of revumenib in combination with intensive chemotherapy in newly diagnosed NPM1m AML patients.
•SAVE: A Phase 1/2 trial evaluating an all-oral combination of revumenib with venetoclax and decitabine/cedazuridine in pediatric and adult patients with newly diagnosed and R/R AML or mixed-lineage acute leukemia harboring either NPM1m, KMT2Ar, or NUP98r alterations. The trial is being conducted by investigators from MD Anderson Cancer Center.
•Intensive chemotherapy: Two ongoing Phase 1 trials evaluating the combination of revumenib with intensive chemotherapy (7+3) in newly diagnosed NPM1m or KMT2Ar acute leukemia patients.
•BEAT AML: A Phase 1 trial evaluating the combination of revumenib with venetoclax and azacitidine in newly diagnosed older adults (≥60 years) with NPM1m or KMT2Ar AML. The trial is being conducted as part of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Beat AML® Master Clinical Trial.
•Post-transplant maintenance: A Phase 1 trial evaluating the safety and preliminary efficacy of revumenib as post-transplant maintenance after HSCT in patients with KMT2Ar or NPM1m acute leukemia. The trial is being conducted by investigators from the City of Hope Medical Center.
•Break Through Cancer: A Phase 2 trial studying whether the combination of revumenib and venetoclax can eliminate measurable residual disease, or MRD, in patients with AML and extend progression-free survival. The trial is being conducted by Break ThroughCancer, a collaboration between leading U.S. cancer research centers.
•INTERCEPT: A Phase 1 trial evaluating the use of novel therapies, including revumenib, to target MRD and early relapse in AML. The trial is being conducted by the Australasian Leukaemia and Lymphoma Group as part of the INTERCEPT AML master clinical trial.
•We expect the RAVEN trial to initiate in the second half of 2026. RAVEN is a Phase 2 collaborative trial of revumenib in combination with venetoclax and azacitidine in newly diagnosed KMT2Ar patients who would be considered eligible, or fit, for intensive chemotherapy.
Niktimvo (axatilimab-csfr)
•Achieved $55.1 million in Niktimvo net revenue in the first quarter of 2026, representing significant growth compared to the $13.6 million in net revenue generated in the first quarter of 2025 from the first two months of the launch. Syndax records 50% of the Niktimvo net commercial profit, defined as net product revenue minus the cost of sales and commercial expenses. Syndax’s share of the Niktimvo product contribution, reported as collaboration revenue, was $15.9 million in the first quarter of 2026.
•Presented data from nine axatilimab abstracts, including one oral presentation, at the Tandem Meetings (Transplantation & Cellular Therapy Meetings of ASTCT® and CIBMTR®) in February 2026. The data presented included a comprehensive analysis of axatilimab in patients with chronic GVHD-related bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome in two clinical studies. The results show clinical and symptom responses across a spectrum of lung involvement.
•Two trials evaluating axatilimab in combination with standard of care therapies in newly diagnosed chronic GVHD patients are ongoing, including:
•A Phase 2, open-label, randomized, multicenter trial of axatilimab in combination with ruxolitinib in patients ≥ 12 years of age with newly diagnosed chronic GVHD. Topline data is now anticipated in the fourth quarter of 2026
•A pivotal Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter trial of axatilimab in combination with corticosteroids in patients ≥ 12 years of age with newly diagnosed chronic GVHD. Topline data is anticipated in early 2028.
•Completed enrollment in MAXPIRe, a Phase 2, 26-week randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial of axatilimab on top of standard of care in patients with IPF in the first quarter of 2026. We expect to report topline data in the fourth quarter of 2026.
Financial Operations Overview
Product Revenue, net
Our FDA-approved product, Revuforj, was approved by the FDA for commercial sale in the U.S. on November 15, 2024. In accordance with GAAP, we determine net product revenue for Revuforj, with specific assumptions for variable consideration components including, but not limited to, trade discounts and allowances, co-pay assistance programs and payor rebates. We record product revenue net of estimated discounts, chargebacks, rebates, product returns, and other gross-to-net revenue deductions.
Collaboration revenue, net
In September 2021, we entered into the Incyte License and Collaboration Agreement, or the Incyte License, with Incyte covering the worldwide development and commercialization of axatilimab. In August 2024, the FDA approved Niktimvo for the treatment of cGVHD after failure of at least two prior lines of systemic therapy in adult and pediatric patients weighing at least 40 kg (88.2 lbs).
In accordance with Topic ASC 808, Collaboration Arrangements, Incyte has been identified as the principal in product sales, therefore, we will recognize its 50% share of any profits or losses in the amount of net product sales less cost of goods sold and shared commercial and other expenses, in the period in which the underlying sales and costs are recognized. Our share of net profits in connection with commercialization of Niktimvo will be presented as “Collaboration revenue, net” and our share of net losses will be presented as “Collaboration loss” within operating expenses. Collaboration revenue or expense is made up of our share of the 50% profit with Incyte. We record collaboration revenue net of commercial expenses, including any royalties owed on license agreements. We will continue to recognize the costs associated with ongoing development services in the R&D operating expense line, including any cost-sharing components with Incyte.
Cost of Product Sales
Our cost of product sales includes the cost of goods sold for Revuforj and license agreement royalties associated with its sales in the United States. Until we received regulatory approval for Revuforj in the United States in November 2024, we recorded expenses incurred for the manufacturing of pre-launch inventory that would support a U.S. launch as research and development expense. Accordingly, the cost of goods sold for a Revuforj may not include the full cost of manufacturing until the initial pre-launch, and previously expensed, inventory is depleted.
Research and Development
Since our inception, we have primarily focused on our clinical development programs. Research and development expenses consist primarily of costs incurred for the development of our product candidates and include:
•expenses incurred under agreements related to our clinical trials, including the costs for investigative sites and contract research organizations, or CROs, that conduct our clinical trials;
•employee-related expenses associated with our research and development activities, including salaries, benefits, travel and non-cash stock-based compensation expenses;
•manufacturing process-development, clinical supplies and technology-transfer expenses;
•license fees and milestone payments under our license agreements;
•consulting fees paid to third parties;
•allocated facilities and overhead expenses; and
•costs associated with regulatory operations and regulatory compliance requirements.
Internal and external research and development costs are expensed as they are incurred. Cost-sharing amounts received by us are recorded as reductions to research and development expense. Costs for certain development activities, such as clinical trials, are recognized based on an evaluation of the progress to completion of specific tasks using data such as patient enrollment, clinical site activations or other information provided to us by our vendors.
Research and development activities are central to our business model. Product candidates in late stages of clinical development generally have higher development costs than those in earlier stages of clinical development, primarily due to the increased size and duration of late-stage clinical trials. We plan to continue to spend a significant amount of our resources on research and development activities for the foreseeable future as we continue to advance the development of our product candidates. The amount of research and development expenses allocated to external spending will continue to grow, while we expect our internal spending to grow at a slower and more controlled pace.
It is difficult to determine, with certainty, the duration and completion costs of our current or future preclinical programs, research studies and clinical trials of our product candidates. The duration, costs and timing of research studies and clinical trials of our products and product candidates will depend on a variety of factors that include, but are not limited to, the following:
•the number of patients that participate;
•the number of clinical trial sites;
•the countries in which the trials are conducted;
•the length of time required to enroll eligible patients;
•the potential additional safety monitoring or other studies requested by regulatory agencies;
•the duration of patient monitoring;
•the efficacy and safety profile of the product candidates; and
•timing and receipt of any regulatory approvals.
In addition, the probability of success for each drug candidate will depend on numerous factors, including competition, manufacturing capability and commercial viability. The successful development of our products and additional product candidates is highly uncertain. At this time, we cannot reasonably estimate the nature, timing or costs of the efforts that will be necessary to complete the remainder of the development of our products and additional product candidates for the period, if any, in which material net cash inflows from these potential product candidates may commence. Clinical development timelines, the probability of success and development costs can differ materially from expectations.
Selling, General and Administrative
Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of employee-related expenses, including salaries, benefits, non-cash stock-based compensation and travel expenses, for our employees in executive, finance, human resources, business development and support functions, as well as sales and marketing expenses to support the launch and commercialization of Revuforj and Niktimvo. Other selling, general and administrative expenses include facility-related costs not otherwise allocated to research and development expenses and accounting, tax, legal, information technology and consulting services.
Royalty Interest Expense
Royalty interest expense consists of the interest recorded related to the Royalty Pharma Purchase and Sale Agreement under the effective interest method.
Interest Expense
Interest expense consists primarily of expense related to the interest recognized for capital leases.
Interest Income
Interest income consists of income earned on our cash, cash equivalents and short- and long-term investment balances.
Other (Expense) Income, net
Other (expense) income, net consists of the revaluation of foreign currency related to trade payables.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
For a discussion of new accounting pronouncements please read Note 3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, equity, revenue and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience, known trends and events and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. In making estimates and judgments, management employs critical accounting policies.
There have been no material changes to our critical accounting estimates described in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.

Product Revenue, net
In November 2024, we began to generate product revenue from sales of Revuforj in the United States. Product revenue, net from sales of Revuforj increased by $28.9 million from the comparable prior year period primarily due to increased sales volume as a result of second indication approval and increased brand awareness.
Collaboration Revenue, net
Collaboration revenue, net, representing our share of net profits in connection with commercialization of Niktimvo, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, was $15.9 million. We generated $0.2 million of collaboration loss for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as Niktimvo launched in January 2025, and was not yet in a net revenue position.
Cost of Product Sales
Our cost of product sales increased by $1.7 million from the comparable prior year period due to increased product sales of Revuforj. Included in cost of product sales are royalties owed to AbbVie on Revuforj sales as part of the Vitae License Agreement.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, our total research and development expenses decreased by $2.8 million from the comparable prior year period. The change was primarily due to:
•Axatilimab: A decrease, due to a non-recurring $10.0 million development milestone expense recognized in the first quarter of 2025;
•Revumenib: An increase, due to the initiation of frontline trials evaluating revumenib in combination with standard-of-care agents in the treatment of AML;
•An increase in personnel costs and other expenses to support on-going clinical trials and medical affairs activities in support of Revuforj and Niktimvo.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, our total selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $3.4 million from the comparable prior year period. The change was primarily due to;
•A decrease in commercial-related expenses due to launch costs incurred in the first quarter of 2025 for Revuforj and Niktimvo that were not incurred in the same period in 2026;
•A decrease in personnel expenses related to higher accrued compensation costs in 2025 for the achievement of corporate objectives;
•An increase in stock-based compensation, driven by a higher stock price.
Royalty Interest Expense
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, royalty interest expense increased due to the interest expense recognized related to the Royalty Pharma Purchase and Sale Agreement signed in November 2024.
Interest Income
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, interest income decreased from the comparable period. The decrease of interest income was primarily due to the fluctuation of interest rates and the average balance of cash equivalents and short and long-term investments.
Other Expense
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the total other (expense) income, net decreased from the comparable prior year period primarily due to the fluctuation in foreign currency losses on short- and long-term investments.

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities decreased from $95.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 to $50.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, primarily due to a decrease in operating net loss of $42.2 million.
Net Cash Provided by Investing Activities
Net cash provided by investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026, was $38.4 million and was related to $77.8 million from the maturities of available-for-sale securities, offset by the purchase of $39.4 million of available-for-sale securities.
Net cash provided by investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025, was $94.1 million and was related to $104.7 million from the maturities of available-for-sale securities, offset by the purchase of $10.5 million of available-for-sale securities.
Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026, increased by $7.0 million from the comparable prior year period primarily due to an increase in proceeds from the exercise of stock options in the current period.
Purchase and Sale Agreement
In October 2024, we entered into a purchase and sale agreement with Royalty Pharma, pursuant to which Royalty Pharma purchased the right to receive 13.8% on quarterly net sales of Niktimvo in the United States and its respective territories, districts, commonwealths and possessions (including Guam and Puerto Rico) in exchange for an upfront payment of $350.0 million (gross) at closing, received in November 2024. Aggregate payments to Royalty Pharma pursuant to the Royalty Agreement will be capped at $822.5 million or 2.35 times the funded amount.
For additional details on our purchase and sale agreement with Royalty Pharma, see Note 12 - “Royalty Interest Financing Liability” to our consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report.
Future Funding Requirements
We believe that the combination of our available cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments, as well as our expected product revenues from sales of Revuforj and Niktimvo collaboration revenue, is sufficient to fund existing and planned cash requirements. Our primary uses of capital are, and we expect will continue to be, compensation and related expenses, third-party clinical research and development services, clinical costs, commercialization costs, legal and other regulatory expenses and general overhead costs. We have based our estimates on assumptions that may prove to be incorrect, and we could use our capital resources sooner than we currently expect.
Additionally, the process of testing product candidates in clinical trials is costly, and the timing, progress and outcomes in these trials is uncertain. We cannot estimate the actual amounts necessary to successfully complete the development and commercialization of our product candidates or whether, or when, we may achieve profitability.
Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including:
•the initiation, progress, timing, costs and results of clinical trials of our product candidates;
•the outcome, timing and cost of seeking and obtaining additional regulatory approvals from the FDA and comparable foreign regulatory authorities, including the potential for such authorities to require that we perform more trials than we currently expect;
•the cost to establish, maintain, expand and defend the scope of our intellectual property portfolio, including the amount and timing of any payments we may be required to make, or that we may receive, in connection with licensing, preparing, filing, prosecuting, defending and enforcing any patents or other intellectual property rights;
•market acceptance of our approved products as well as our product candidates;
•the cost and timing of selecting, auditing and developing manufacturing capabilities, and potentially validating manufacturing sites for commercial-scale manufacturing;
•the cost and timing for obtaining pricing and reimbursement, which may require additional trials to address pharmacoeconomic benefit;
•the cost of maintaining and expanding sales, marketing and distribution capabilities for our products;
•the costs of acquiring, licensing or investing in additional businesses, products, product candidates and technologies;
•the interruption of key clinical trial activities, such as clinical trial site monitoring;
•the cost of disruption to our supply chain and operations, and associated delays in the manufacturing and supply of our products, which would adversely impact our ability to continue our clinical trial operations;
•the effect of competing technological and market developments; and
•our need to implement additional internal systems and infrastructure, including financial and reporting systems, as we grow our company.
We expect to continue to support our future cash needs through a combination of equity offerings, debt financings and additional funding from license and collaboration arrangements. Except for any obligations of our collaborators to reimburse us for research and development expenses or to make milestone or royalty payments under our agreements with them, we will not have any committed external source of liquidity.
Our material contractual obligations and commitments as of March 31, 2026, primarily relate to our maturities of operating leases for office space and equipment and capital leases for office equipment. As of March 31, 2026, we have $0.5 million payable within 12 months.
Except as disclosed above, we have no material non-cancelable purchase commitments with service providers, as we have generally contracted on a cancelable, purchase-order basis. We enter into contracts in the normal course of business with equipment and reagent vendors, CROs, contract manufacturing organizations, and other third parties for clinical trials, preclinical research studies and testing and manufacturing services. These contracts are cancelable by us upon prior notice. Payments due upon cancellation
consist only of payments for services provided or expenses incurred, including noncancelable obligations of our service providers, up to the date of cancellation. These payments are not determinable.
We have incurred losses and cumulative negative cash flows from operations since our inception, excluding the year ended December 31, 2021. As of March 31, 2026, we had an accumulated deficit of $1.5 billion. We anticipate that we will likely continue to incur significant losses for at least the next couple years. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the future sale of equity or debt, the ownership interest of our stockholders will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of our existing common stockholders. If we raise additional funds through collaboration arrangements in the future, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams or product candidates or grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us. If we are unable to raise additional funds through equity or debt financings when needed, we may be required to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our product development or future commercialization efforts or grant rights to develop and market product candidates that we would otherwise prefer to develop and market ourselves.

In May 2023, we entered into a sales agreement with Cowen and Company, LLC, or TD Cowen, under which we could, from time to time, issue and sell shares of our common stock having aggregate sales proceeds of up to $200.0 million, in a series of one or more at-the-market equity offerings, or the 2023 ATM Program. TD Cowen is not required to sell any specific share amounts but acts as the Company’s sales agent, using commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices. Pursuant to the sales agreement, shares will be sold under the shelf registration statement on Form S-3ASR (Registration No. 333-277424), which became automatically effective upon filing on February 27, 2024. Our common stock will be sold at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale, and as a result, prices may vary. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, we did not sell any shares of common stock under the 2023 ATM Program. As of March 31, 2026, we had $157.9 million available under the 2023 ATM Program.
Significant Risks and Uncertainties
Unfavorable interest rates and geo-political unrest could result in further economic uncertainty and volatility in the capital markets in the near term and, as a result, could negatively affect our operations and could make it difficult for us to obtain traditional financing on acceptable terms, if at all. Furthermore, such economic conditions have produced downward pressure on share prices. Although we do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our financial position or results of operations to date, the return of a high inflationary environment could increase our operating costs, including our labor costs and research and development costs. These costs may also be negatively impacted due to supply chain constraints, geopolitical tensions, including tariffs, wars and terrorism, worsening macroeconomic conditions and employee availability and wage increases, which may result in additional stress on our working capital.
Additionally, we are subject to other challenges and risks specific to our business and our ability to execute on our strategy, as well as risks and uncertainties common to companies in the pharmaceutical industry with development and commercial operations, including, without limitation, risks and uncertainties associated with: obtaining regulatory approval of additional indications for our approved products; identifying, acquiring or in-licensing additional products or product candidates; pharmaceutical product development and the inherent uncertainty of clinical success; the challenges of protecting and enhancing our intellectual property rights; and complying with applicable regulatory requirements. See the section titled “Risk Factors” located elsewhere in this report for additional information.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
The market risk inherent in our financial instruments and in our financial position represents the potential loss arising from adverse changes in interest rates. As of March 31, 2026, we had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $352.1 million consisting of $130.9 million of overnight investments, interest-bearing money market funds and commercial paper, and short-term investments of $221.2 million, consisting of commercial paper, highly rated corporate bonds and treasuries. Our primary exposure to market risk is interest rate sensitivity, which is affected by changes in the general level of U.S. interest rates. The primary objectives of our investment activities are to ensure liquidity and to preserve principal while at the same time maximizing the interest income, we receive from our marketable securities without significantly increasing risk. We have established guidelines regarding approved investments and maturities of investments, which are designed to maintain safety and liquidity. Due to the relative short-term maturities of our cash equivalents and the low risk profile of our short and long-term investments, an immediate 100 basis point change in interest rates would not have a material effect on the fair market value of our cash equivalents and short and long-term investments. We have the ability to hold our investments until maturity, and therefore, we would not expect our operating results or cash flows to be affected to any significant degree by the effect of a change in market interest rates on our investment portfolio.
We do not believe that inflation and changing prices had a significant impact on our results of operations for any periods presented herein.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures and Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Controls and Procedures
We have carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act), as of March 31, 2026. Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that:
(a)the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms; and
(b)the information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2026, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
