Forward-Looking StatementsBoundless Bio cautions you that statements contained in this press release regarding matters that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements are based on our current beliefs and expectations and include but are not limited to: the timing of expected preliminary clinical proof-of-concept data from the Phase 1/2 POTENTIATE trial, nomination of an ecDTx from the Kinesin program and submission of an IND for that ecDTx, the sufficiency of our cash position to fund operations and achievement of program milestones; and the potential therapeutic benefits of our ecDTx in treating patients with oncogene amplified cancers. Our actual results and performance may differ materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statement set forth in this press release due to numerous known and unknown risks and uncertainties, including, without limitation: we are early in our development efforts and our approach to discover and develop ecDTx directed against ecDNA in oncogene amplified cancers is novel and unproven; risks inherent in the business of discovering, developing, obtaining regulatory approval for, and commercializing drugs for use as human therapeutics and operating as an early clinical-stage company; we only have one ecDTx in clinical development and all of our other development efforts are in the discovery and preclinical development stage; results from preclinical studies or early clinical trials not necessarily being predictive of future results; potential delays in the commencement, enrollment, data readouts or completion of clinical trials or preclinical studies, or submission of an IND; final data from our clinical trials may be materially different from interim, topline or preliminary data we publish as more patient data become available and/or data undergo more comprehensive reviews and audit and verification procedures; analytical validation of our ecDNA diagnostic not necessarily being predictive of its clinical validity and utility; our dependence on third parties in connection with clinical trials, preclinical studies, ecDNA diagnostic development, and manufacturing; unfavorable results from clinical trials or preclinical studies; we may expend our limited resources to pursue a particular ecDTx and fail to capitalize on ecDTx with greater development or commercial potential; unexpected adverse side effects or inadequate efficacy of our ecDTx that may limit their development, regulatory approval, and/or commercialization; the potential for our programs and prospects to be negatively impacted by developments relating to our competitors, including the results of studies or regulatory determinations relating to our competitors; regulatory developments in the United States and foreign countries; disruptions in how the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) operates, including due to staff reductions, could result in longer review periods for our regulatory submissions and delay advancement of our ecDTx; we may use our capital resources sooner than we expect; and other risks described in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including under the heading “Risk Factors” in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and any subsequent filings with the SEC.
