 Pursuant to the Novartis License Agreement, we granted Novartis an exclusive worldwide license for the development, manufacture and commercialization of luxdegalutamide (ARV-766), our second generation PROTAC AR degrader for patients with prostate cancer and, as of December 31, 2024, we completed the transition of our ongoing and planned clinical trials of luxdegalutamide (ARV-766) to Novartis. Pursuant to the Novartis Asset Agreement, we sold Novartis all of our rights, title and interest in our PROTAC protein degrader targeting AR-V7, a splice variant of the AR. 

Our Operations

We commenced operations in 2013. Our operations to date have been limited to organizing and staffing our company, business planning, raising capital, conducting discovery and research activities, filing patent applications, identifying potential product candidates, undertaking preclinical studies and clinical trials, establishing arrangements with third parties for collaborations and for the manufacture of initial quantities of our product candidates and preparing for commercialization, including by beginning to build a commercial infrastructure. To date, we have not generated any revenue from product sales and have financed our operations primarily through sales of assets and equity interests, proceeds from collaborations and a licensing arrangement, grant funding and debt financing. Since inception through December 31, 2024, we raised approximately $1.7 billion in gross proceeds from the sale of assets and equity interests and the exercise of stock options, and had received an aggregate of $913.0 million in payments primarily from collaboration partners and a licensing arrangement.

We are a clinical-stage company, with product candidates in clinical development and other drug discovery activities in the research and preclinical development stages. Our ability to generate revenue from product sales sufficient to achieve profitability will depend heavily on the successful development and eventual commercialization of one or more of our product candidates. Since inception, we have incurred significant operating losses and expect to incur increasing operating losses for at least the next several years due to costs associated with our ongoing and anticipated preclinical and clinical activities, development activities, research activities in oncology, neurological and other disease areas to expand our pipeline, hiring additional personnel in research, clinical trials, quality and other functional areas, including general and administrative, sales and commercial as we move towards potential commercialization, increased expenses incurred with CMOs to supply us with product for our preclinical and clinical studies and expenses incurred with contract research organizations, or CROs, for the synthesis of compounds in our preclinical development
