The following constitutes Amendment No. 3 to the Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned (“Amendment No. 3”). This Amendment No. 3 amends the Schedule 13D as specifically set forth herein.

Item 3.

Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

Item 3 is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

The securities of the Issuer beneficially owned by BVF, BVF2 and Trading Fund OS and held in the Partners Managed Accounts were purchased with working capital (which may, at any given time, include margin loans made by brokerage firms in the ordinary course of business) in open market purchases, except as otherwise noted.

The aggregate cost basis of the 2,891,427 Shares directly beneficially owned by BVF and 1,797,527 Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase 1,797,527 Shares, which were acquired by BVF pursuant to the Exchange Agreement (as defined below), is approximately $38,256,123, excluding brokerage commissions. The aggregate cost basis of 1,258,027 Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase 1,258,027 Shares, which were acquired by BVF pursuant to the 2024 Purchase Agreement (as defined below), is approximately $11,422,759.

The aggregate cost basis of the 2,165,776 Shares directly beneficially owned by BVF2 and 1,418,736 Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase 1,418,736 Shares, which were acquired by BVF2 pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, is approximately $29,292,889, excluding brokerage commissions. The aggregate cost basis of 1,047,044 Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase 1,047,044 Shares, which were acquired by BVF2 pursuant to the 2024 Purchase Agreement, is approximately $9,507,055.

The aggregate cost basis of the 370,710 Shares directly beneficially owned by Trading Fund OS and 153,441 Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase 153,441 Shares, which were acquired by Trading Fund OS pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, is approximately $3,947,945, excluding brokerage commissions. The aggregate cost basis of 160,107 Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase 160,107 Shares, which were acquired by Trading Fund OS pursuant to the 2024 Purchase Agreement, is approximately $1,453,756.

The aggregate cost basis of the 287,980 Shares held in the Partners Managed Accounts and 50,296 Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase 50,296 Shares, which were acquired by a certain Partners Managed Account pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, is approximately $1,419,165, excluding brokerage commissions. The aggregate cost basis of 67,862 Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase 67,862 Shares, which were acquired by a certain Partners Managed Account pursuant to the 2024 Purchase Agreement, is approximately $616,180.

The 142,536 Shares beneficially owned by Dr. Hrustanovic consist of Shares issuable to him upon the exercise of stock options exercisable within 60 days hereof that were awarded to him for no consideration in connection with his service on the Issuer’s Board. Pursuant to a certain agreement entered into between Partners and Dr. Hrustanovic, Dr. Hrustanovic is obligated to transfer the economic benefit, if any, received upon the sale of the Shares issuable upon exercise of the above referenced stock options to Partners.

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following:

On November 29, 2024, the Issuer entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “2024 Purchase Agreement”) with the purchasers named therein (the “2024 Purchasers”), including certain of the Reporting Persons and one of the Partners Managed Accounts, which provides for the private placement of (i) 19,928,875 Shares at $9.08 per Share and (ii) pre-funded warrants (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 7,604,163 Shares at a purchase price of $9.0799 per Pre-Funded Warrant (such transaction, the “2024 Private Placement”). In connection with the 2024 Private Placement, BVF, BVF2, Trading Fund OS and Partners, on behalf of one of the Partners Managed Accounts, acquired Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase 1,258,027 Shares, 1,047,044 Shares, 160,107 Shares and 67,862 Shares, respectively. The 2024 Private Placement closed on December 4, 2024.

Pursuant to the 2024 Purchase Agreement, the 2024 Purchasers agreed not to sell or transfer the securities acquired in connection with the 2024 Private Placement, and the Issuer’s executive officers and directors, including Dr. Hrustanovic, agreed not to sell or transfer any Shares or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Shares, until February 2, 2025, subject to certain exceptions, including sales pursuant to any previously adopted Rule 10b5-1 trading plans or sales for the purpose of covering tax withholding liabilities associated with the settlement of restricted stock units pursuant to the Issuer’s sell-to-cover program.

In addition, pursuant to the 2024 Purchase Agreement, the Issuer also agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC on or before February 2, 2025 (subject to certain exceptions) for purposes of registering the resale of the Shares and Shares underlying the Pre-Funded Warrants, use its commercially reasonable efforts to have such registration statement declared effective within the time period set forth in the 2024 Purchase Agreement and keep such registration statement effective until the date the Shares and the Shares underlying the Pre-Funded Warrants covered by such registration statement have been sold or may be resold pursuant to Rule 144 without restriction.

The 2024 Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Issuer, ind emnification obligations of the Issuer and the 2024 Purchasers, including for liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and other obligations of the parties.

The foregoing description of the 2024 Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the 2024 Purchase Agreement, which is referenced hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

On November 29, 2024, the Issuer entered into an exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with certain of the Reporting Persons and one of the Partners Managed Accounts, pursuant to which BVF, BVF2, Trading Fund OS and Partners, on behalf of one of the Partners Managed Accounts, agreed to exchange 1,797,527 Shares, 1,418,736 Shares, 153,441 Shares and 50,296 Shares, respectively, for Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase 1,797,527 Shares, 1,418,736 Shares, 153,441 Shares and 50,296 Shares, respectively (the “Exchange”). Such Pre-Funded Warrants will be issued without registration under the Securities Act, in reliance on the exemption from registration contained in Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act. The Exchange closed on December 4, 2024.

A description of the terms of the Pre-Funded Warrants issued pursuant to the 2024 Purchase Agreement and the Exchange is set forth in Item 6 hereof.

Item 6 is hereby amended to add the following:

The description of the 2024 Purchase Agreement set forth in Item 4 above is incorporated herein by reference. A copy of the 2024 Purchase Agreement is referenced hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

As of the date hereof, the Reporting Persons and one of the Partners Managed Accounts held Pre-Funded Warrants exercisable for an aggregate of 5,953,040 Shares. Each Pre-Funded Warrant is exercisable into one Share and has an exercise price of $0.0001 per Share. The Pre-Funded Warrants are exercisable immediately and may be exercised at any time until all of the Pre-Funded Warrants are exercised in full. A holder of Pre-Funded Warrants (together with its affiliates and other attribution parties) may not exercise any portion of a Pre-Funded Warrant to the extent that immediately prior to or after giving effect to such exercise the holder would own more than 9.99% of the Shares outstanding immediately after exercise (the “Pre-Funded Warrants Blocker”). As of the date hereof, the Pre-Funded Warrants Blocker limits the exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants held by the Reporting Persons and one of the Partners Managed Accounts to 1,841,344 Shares underlying such Pre-Funded Warrants. The foregoing description of the Pre-Funded Warrants does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Pre-Funded Warrants, which is referenced hereto as Exhibit 99.2 and incorporated herein by reference.

Stock options to purchase 23,000 Shares were awarded to Dr. Hrustanovic on June 14, 2024 for no consideration in connection with his service on the Board. Pursuant to a certain agreement entered into between Partners and Dr. Hrustanovic, Dr. Hrustanovic is obligated to transfer the economic benefit, if any, received upon the sale of the Shares issuable upon exercise of such stock options to Partners. The stock options vest in a series of 12 successive equal monthly installments measured from June 14, 2024, subject to Dr. Hrustanovic’s continuous service on the Board through each applicable vesting date. Such Shares vest in full on the date of the Issuer’s next annual meeting of stockholders if such stock options are not otherwise fully vested by such date, subject to Dr. Hrustanovic’s continuous service on the Board through such vesting date.
