The filing includes financial statements for the quarter, showing an increase in research and development expenses to $60.6 million from $29.6 million in the same quarter the previous year. This increase is attributed to higher manufacturing costs and costs related to the Phase 2 portions of the ARROS-1 and ALKOVE-1 clinical trials.
