Insilico will utilize its validated Pharma.AI platform and deep drug discovery expertise to generate, design, and optimize candidate compounds against targets defined under the agreement. Insilico is eligible to receive over $100 million including an upfront, milestone payments, and tiered royalties on net sales upon commercialization of any resulting drug products.

"We are delighted to collaborate with Lilly, a global leader in the pharmaceutical industry, renowned for its commitment to medical innovation," said Alex Zhavoronkov, PhD, Founder and Co-CEO of Insilico Medicine. "Lilly has been a valued user of our Pharma.AI software suite, and this expanded collaboration further recognizes Insilico’s AI-driven drug discovery capabilities while strengthening our longstanding partnership. By joining forces, we are accelerating the development of transformative therapies to address urgent patient needs worldwide."

The collaboration represents a further deepening of the partnership between the two companies, which originated with the AI-based software licensing agreement in 2023.

Harnessing state-of-the-art AI and automation technologies, Insilico has significantly improved the efficiency of preclinical drug development. While traditional early-stage drug discovery typically requires 3 to 6 years, from 2021 to 2024 Insilico nominated 20 preclinical candidates, achieving an average turnaround – from project initiation to preclinical candidate (PCC) nomination – of just 12 to 18 months per program, with only 60 to 200 molecules synthesized and tested in each program.

Addressing Unmet Clinical Needs: Shedding Light on Rare Mutations

NTRK gene family fusions occur in less than 1% of all solid tumors, but represent one of the most actionable oncogenic alterations across cancer types. Patients harboring these fusions can benefit from TRK inhibitors such as ROZLYTREK. PanTRKare enables accurate, sensitive detection of NTRK1/2/3 fusions across diverse tumor types, bringing precision medicine to patients who harbor this rare but important type of mutations.

Robust Clinical Validation Across 33 Tumor Types and 2,400+ Cases

The PanTRKare kit was rigorously validated through a large-scale multi-center clinical study involving seven leading hospitals, 33 tumor types and more than 2,400 clinical samples. The assay demonstrated high accuracy, sensitivity, reproducibility and broad applicability across a wide spectrum of solid tumors, having successfully detected more than 200 unique NTRK fusion variants in this study. This comprehensive validation establishes PanTRKare as one of the most clinically robust NTRK CDx test globally, ensuring confidence in both routine oncology and translational research settings.

Empowering Targeted Therapies Through Collaborative CDx Development

Clinical bridging studies with ROZLYTREK showed high concordance of testing results, as well as comparable objective response rate (ORR) among NTRK fusion–positive patients. This result underscores the test’s clinical utility and its pivotal role in advancing precision medicine for patients with rare genetic alterations.

"With the NMPA approval of PanTRKare, clinicians across China can now access an accurate, reliable tool to identify patients with NTRK gene fusions and connect them to effective targeted therapies. This milestone reflects Geneseeq’s ongoing commitment to advancing precision oncology and improving outcomes for patients through innovation in molecular diagnostics," said Dr. Yang Shao, CEO of Nanjing Geneseeq Technology Inc.. "Geneseeq will continue to drive innovation across oncology diagnostics through global regulatory collaborations, biopharma partnerships, and patient-centered product development, advancing its mission to make precision medicine accessible to all."

Vlad Coric, M.D., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Biohaven, commented, "Biohaven remains energized and focused on our mission to advance innovative medicines to patients who are waiting every day for new treatments. Our pipeline consists of multiple novel approaches for unmet medical needs and has the potential to deliver paradigm shifting treatments for conditions such as epilepsy, autoimmune disease, obesity, depression and cancer. We are particularly excited about the continued progress across our key programs and clinical-stage assets including: MoDE and TRAP degrader programs, where our two lead assets, BHV-1300 and BHV-1400, show compelling evidence to change the treatment paradigm in immune-mediated diseases; opakalim, a novel Kv7 ion channel activator, for the treatment of epilepsy and depression; and taldefgrobep alfa, myostatin-activin targeting therapy for obesity and SMA."

Dr. Coric continued, "Our late-stage clinical programs are poised to transform their respective treatment paradigms, given their novel mechanistic foundations and the body of clinical and non-clinical data generated to date. Our redirected approach to ‘right-sizing’ innovation is an important step we have undertaken to ultimately drive growth and resources to the most critical areas of our business. With this thoughtful approach to rebalancing our portfolio, we believe Biohaven remains well-positioned to execute on our commitment to transforming the treatment landscape for patients with serious and underserved diseases and we remain unwaveringly committed to delivering on our promise to advance our programs for patients, families, and shareholders in the balance of the year and in the years ahead. We will also continue to provide updates on any progress determining a path forward in SCA."

Third Quarter 2025 and Recent Business Updates

Initiated strategic cost optimization efforts across portfolio to focus forward-looking spend on three value-driving, late-stage clinical programs that will prioritize resources:
Opakalim, Kv7 ion channel activator, in pivotal studies for focal epilepsy and depression;
Lead TRAP and MoDE extracellular degraders for IgA nephropathy (BHV-1400) and Graves’ disease (BHV-1300);
Taldefgrobep alfa, myostatin-activin pathway inhibitor, for obesity and spinal muscular atrophy.
Restructuring of business priorities and optimizing resource allocation may result in either pause, delay or halting of non-priority programs.
The cost optimization efforts are expected to achieve an approximately 60% reduction in annual direct R&D spend (which excludes personnel and share-based compensation).
Expected Upcoming Milestones:

We believe Biohaven is well positioned to achieve significant, value-creating milestones in 2025 and 2026 across numerous programs:

Kv7 Activator (Opakalim):

Deliver top-line results from Phase 2 study in major depressive disorder study in 4Q 2025.
Continue two Phase 2/3 studies in focal epilepsy with initial top-line results expected in 1H 2026.
Lead TRAP and MoDE Extracellular Degraders (BHV-1400 and BHV-1300)

Continue enrollment of patients with IgAN and Graves’s disease in expanded Phase 1b and advance to pivotal studies in IgAN and Graves’ disease.
Myostatin-Activin Pathway Inhibitor (Taldefgrobep alfa):

Initiate Phase 2 clinical trial in obesity in 4Q 2025.Continue ongoing Health Authority interactions to discuss SMA registrational path in the US and Europe.
Glutamate Modulator (VYGLXIA):

We requested a Type A meeting with FDA as part of initiating an appeal process for the SCA CRL and plan to meet with the FDA to discuss potential next steps.
Capital Position:

Cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities and restricted cash as of September 30, 2025, totaled approximately $263.8 million.

Third Quarter 2024 Financial Highlights:

Research and Development (R&D) Expenses: R&D expenses, including non-cash share-based compensation costs, were $141.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $157.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease of $16.4 million was primarily due to decreases in direct program spend, largely related to BHV-2000 and opakalim, which were partially offset by increased personnel costs including non-cash share-based compensation, as compared to the same period in the prior year. Non-cash share-based compensation expense was $13.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, an increase of $6.8 million as compared to the same period in 2024. Non-cash share-based compensation expense was higher in 2025 primarily due to our annual equity incentive awards granted in the first quarter of 2025.

General and Administrative (G&A) Expenses: G&A expenses, including non-cash share-based compensation costs, were $28.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $20.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The increase of $7.7 million was primarily due to increased non-cash share-based compensation expense and increased legal costs. Non-cash share-based compensation expense was $7.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, an increase of $2.6 million as compared to the same period in 2024. Non-cash share-based compensation expense was higher in 2025 primarily due to our annual equity incentive awards granted in the first quarter of 2025.

Other (Expense) Income, Net: Other (expense) income, net was other expense, net of $3.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to other income, net of $17.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease of $21.6 million was primarily due to an increase in non-cash losses related to changes in fair value of our notes payable liability under the Note Purchase Agreement with Beetlejuice SA LLC, an affiliate of Oberland Capital Management LLC, entered into during the second quarter of 2025 (the Note Purchase Agreement), a decrease in gains recorded for the non-cash changes in the fair value of our forward contracts and derivative liabilities recorded in connection with the amendment to our Membership Interest Purchase Agreement with Knopp Biosciences LLC in May 2024 (the Knopp Amendment), and decreased investment income.

Net Loss: Biohaven reported a net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2025 of $173.4 million, or $1.64 per share, compared to $160.3 million, or $1.70 per share, for the same period in 2024. Non-GAAP adjusted net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was $155.9 million, or $1.47 per share, compared to $164.1 million, or $1.74 per share, for the same period in 2024. These non-GAAP adjusted net loss and non-GAAP adjusted net loss per share measures, more fully described below under "Non-GAAP Financial Measures," exclude non-cash share-based compensation charges and losses from the change in fair value of derivatives. A reconciliation of the GAAP financial results to non-GAAP financial results is included in the tables below.
