Low Financial LeverageA modest debt burden reduces refinancing and interest risks, preserving strategic optionality. Low leverage gives the company flexibility to pursue development through equity, partnerships, or internal funding, improving resilience through multi-stage clinical development timelines common in gene therapy.
