"Importantly, we have now aligned with the FDA on the registrational pathway for our two lead indications, SPS and MG, laying the foundation for accelerating our potential first-in-class neuroinflammation franchise. Having recently completed enrollment in KYSA-8, our registrational study in SPS, we now anticipate filing our first BLA in the first half of 2026 and are strategically investing in pre-launch activities.
