Persistent Cash BurnOngoing, sizable negative operating and free cash flow creates structural liquidity pressure, requiring repeat capital raises or asset sales. Sustained burn increases financing risk, constrains R&D pacing and forces prioritization decisions that could delay IND timelines or shrink program scope over the medium term.
