Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting
Strong topline efficacy signals (35.3% SALT reduction; SALT-20/30/50 responses) plus a favorable safety profile; explicit plan for a 2027 registrational program reduces execution risk and adds a clear milestone path. However, the data come from a relatively small, open-label subset (Part B), which tempers certainty and may limit immediate upside without confirmatory data.
