Total research and development expenses $ 182,373 $ 126,095 $ 56,278 Tarcocimab program expenses increased $14.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2025 as compared to 2024, primarily driven by increased costs related to the ongoing DAYBREAK pivotal phase 3 clinical trial, which was activated in mid-2024. KSI-501 and KSI-101 program expenses increased $20.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2025 as compared to 2024, due to increased costs related to DAYBREAK (a study for both tarcocimab and KSI-501) and the PEAK/PINNACLE and APEX clinical trials (studies for KSI-101), partially offset by reduced manufacturing expenses due to timing of production runs. ABC Platform and other program expenses increased $10.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2025 as compared to 2024, primarily due to increased biopolymer manufacturing activities in 2025. Payroll and personnel expenses increased $10.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2025 as compared to 2024, due to $5.4 million higher stock-based compensation reflecting forfeitures of equity awards in 2024 and $5.2 million higher payroll-related expenses from increased headcount in 2025. Facilities and other research and development expenses, which consists primarily of rent-related costs and depreciation of facilities and lab equipment, remained relatively flat. General and Administrative Expenses General and administrative expenses decreased $8.7 million, or 14%, during the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to 2024 due to $6.8 million lower stock compensation expense as we are no longer recognizing expense associated with older, higher-value stock awards that fully vested, and a $2 million reduction in facilities costs driven by lower net rent expense after subleasing one of our Palo Alto buildings (partially offset by a non-cash $1.9 million lease impairment expense recorded in the first quarter of 2025 also related to the sublease). Interest Income Interest income decreased $6.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2025 as compared to 2024, which was attributable to the overall decrease in cash available to earn interest during 2025 combined with lower rates of return.
