Accordingly, we made the strategic decision to discontinue our phase 2 clinical program in Aging-Related Frailty in Japan. We are also exploring opportunities to advance our Alzheimer’s disease program through potential partnerships or other sources of funding. These steps will allow us to focus our available resources on completing enrollment in our follow-on ELPIS II study in 2024. HLHS patients are in critical need of new therapeutic options to improve outcomes in this rare and life-threatening indication.”
