Guidance and outlook
Forward-looking statements, 10-Q filed Nov 5, 2026
- We intend to leverage our competencies and resources to positively impact human health.
- As discussed further below, we expect to continue to incur substantial costs related to our research and development and commercialization activities.
- As we pursue our corporate strategic goals, we anticipate that our financial results will fluctuate from quarter to quarter and year to year depending in part on the balance between the success of our commercial products and the level of our research and development expenses.
- • Zocilurtatug Pelitecan (Zoci, DLL3-Targeting ADC) (formerly ZL-1310): In October 2026, we presented promising data at the European Society for Medical Oncology Congress 2026 from the ongoing Phase 1 study evaluating zoci in combination with atezolizumab as a 1L treatment for ES-SCLC.
- • ZL-1503 (IL-13/IL-31Rα): We expect to share initial first-in-human data from the single ascending dose (SAD) portion of the global Phase 1/1b study of ZL-1503 for atopic dermatitis in healthy volunteers at the American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (ACAAI) 2026 Annual Scientific Meeting, taking place November 12–16, 2026.
- We expect to continue to focus on increasing patient access to our existing commercial products, such as through NRDL listing or increased supplemental insurance coverage in the private-pay market, and to launch additional commercial products, if and when we obtain required regulatory approvals.
- We believe our ability to successfully develop product candidates will be the primary factor affecting our long-term competitiveness, as well as our future growth and development.
- As a result, we expect to continue making significant investments in research and development, including internal discovery activities.
- We expect these costs to continue to be significant to support sales of our commercial products and preparation to launch and subsequent sales of additional product candidates if and when approved.
- Our results of operations have been, and will continue to be, affected by our license and collaboration agreements.
- Although we manage our external research and development expenses by program, we do not allocate our internal research and development expenses by program because our employees and internal resources may be engaged in projects for multiple programs at any given time.
- If actual results vary from our estimates or our expectations change, we will adjust these estimates accordingly, which would affect net product revenue and earnings in the period such variances become expected or known.
