Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting
The pivot to higher-value in vivo programs with clear IIT data timelines could de-risk the company and attract partnering upside; cash runway extension alleviates near-term liquidity concerns, easing risk premium. Yet execution risk and reliance on China IIT data remain headwinds; overall, potential for multiple expansion if early data are favorable.
