Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting
Positive topline data expectations for QUELL-CV and expanding DME program could drive sentiment and valuation, especially given strong Phase 1 NLRP3 data and significant cash runway. Historically, similar near-term Phase 2 readouts in inflammasome inhibitors have spurred upside moves when data align with expectations.
