The company reported a net loss of $14.9 million, an increase from $11.3 million in the same period last year, primarily due to higher research and development expenses, which rose to $12.4 million from $8.7 million. General and administrative expenses also increased to $5.3 million from $4.4 million. The company’s cash and cash equivalents decreased to $46.9 million from $66.9 million as of December 31, 2023, while marketable securities increased to $205.6 million from $176.6 million.
