Current thesis
First-patient enrollment in IMPROVE-PAH confirms the program has moved from planning into execution, and the 10-K shows $178.8 million of cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities with management stating this funds normal operations for at least twelve months from the March 26, 2026 filing date [#8-K-2026-04-07] [#10-K-2026-03-26]. At roughly a $243 million market cap, that leaves a relatively modest enterprise value for a single-asset Phase 3 PAH story if enrollment and safety hold up.
