    PART I

    Item 1. Business

    Overview

    BioXcel Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: BTAI, “the Company”) is a biopharmaceutical company built on artificial intelligence (“AI”) to develop transformative medicines in neuroscience. Our wholly owned subsidiary, OnkosXcel Therapeutics, is focused on the development of medicines in immuno-oncology. We have utilized cutting-edge technology and innovative research to develop high-value therapeutics aimed at transforming patients’ lives. We developed a proprietary AI platform to reduce therapeutic development costs and potentially accelerate development timelines. Our approach leverages existing approved drugs and/or clinically evaluated product candidates together with big data and proprietary machine learning algorithms to identify new therapeutic indications. We believe this differentiated approach has proven its potential to reduce the expense and time associated with drug development in diseases with substantial unmet medical needs.

    Our Business

    Our most advanced neuroscience candidate is BXCL501. In indications other than those approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as IGALMI®, BXCL501 is an investigational, proprietary, orally dissolving sublingual film formulation of dexmedetomidine in development for the treatment of agitation associated with psychiatric and neurological disorders. Our most advanced immuno-oncology asset, BXCL701, is an investigational oral innate immune activator from OnkosXcel Therapeutics as a potential therapy for the treatment of aggressive forms of prostate cancer, pancreatic cancer, and other solid and liquid tumors.

    On April 6, 2022, we announced that the FDA approved IGALMI® (dexmedetomidine) sublingual film for the acute treatment of agitation associated with schizophrenia or bipolar I or II disorder in adults. IGALMI® is approved to be self-administrated by patients under the supervision of a health care provider. On July 6, 2022, we announced that IGALMI® was commercially available in doses of 120 and 180 micrograms (“mcg”).

    On August 27, 2025 we announced that the SERENITY At-Home Pivotal Phase 3 trial evaluating the safety of BXCL501, as an acute treatment for agitation associated with bipolar disorders or schizophrenia in the at-home setting met its primary objective. The data from this successful study formed the basis of the sNDA submission for a label expansion of IGALMI® into the at-home setting. The sNDA was submitted to the FDA on January 14, 2026.

    On September 10, 2025 we further announced positive topline exploratory efficacy data from the SERENITY At-Home Pivotal Phase 3 safety trial, which demonstrated BXCL501 had continued effects and consistent benefit with repeat dosing. 

    On October 10, 2025 we announced positive results from a correlation study related to exploratory efficacy outcomes from the SERENITY At-Home trial. The results demonstrated a strong correlation between the clinician assessments and the patient or caregiver (informant) assessments. The results, along with the data from the SERENITY At-Home trial, have been included in the sNDA submission that was filed with the FDA on January 14, 2026.

    Our TRANQUILITY program is designed to evaluate BXCL501 as a potential treatment option for agitation associated with Alzheimer’s dementia in the outpatient or at-home setting and in-care facilities. We have completed one Phase 3 in care trial in this program (see below under late-stage clinical trials). We have had several FDA meetings to discuss the development program, and the FDA has commented on the proposed protocol for our second TRANQUILITY In-Care Phase 3 trial, which is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a 60-mcg dose of BXCL501 for agitation associated with Alzheimer’s dementia. The Company is advancing plans for initiation of the trial upon funding. See further discussion in “Our Neuroscience Clinical Programs” below.

    As described further below, we have deprioritized the development of BXCL501 for certain other proposed indications.

    Our most advanced immuno-oncology candidate, BXCL701, is an investigational oral innate immune activator from OnkosXcel Therapeutics as a potential therapy for the treatment of aggressive forms of prostate cancer, pancreatic cancer, and other solid and liquid tumors. Development of our BXCL701 programs continues to be deprioritized, except as noted under “Immuno-Oncology” below.

    2024 Clinical Reprioritization

    As discussed in Note 4, Restructuring in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, on May 8, 2024 the Company took actions as part of its continued efforts to preserve cash and prioritize investment in its core clinical programs. These actions are collectively named the (“Clinical Reprioritization”). The Company reduced its workforce by approximately 15% and notified impacted employees on May 8, 2024. All related restructuring costs were paid in the second quarter of 2024.

    On September 17, 2024, the Company reduced its workforce an additional 28% to extend its cash runway and prioritize the clinical development of BXCL501. The Company completed the Clinical Reprioritization in October 2024, paid $475 of the related costs during the first quarter of 2025, and paid the remaining $128 during the second quarter of 2025

    Throughout 2024 and 2025 the Company has taken multiple steps to reduce spending and prioritize clinical development activities.

    In the third quarter of 2025, we also reduced our investment in and utilization of our proprietary AI platform until additional funding is available.

    IGALMI® Commercialization Strategy

    We are continuing to supply IGALMI® through existing distribution channels. At the same time, while seeking potential commercial partners, we are maintaining IGALMI’s market presence with minimal commercial resources following our Clinical Reprioritization. Our commercialization efforts are designed to build the foundation to launch additional potential follow-on indications. If IGALMI® would be approved outside the U.S., we would consider launching the product through collaborations with third parties. However, no foreign applications have been made at this time. On January 12, 2026, we announced the appointment of an Interim Chief Commercial Officer to support the potential launch of IGALMI in the at-home setting.

    Neuroscience

    Our Neuroscience Strategy

    We continue to evaluate all strategic options for our neuroscience assets, which could include licensing, partnering, and co-commercialization.

    Our Novel Drug Re-Innovation Approach

    Prior to our Clinical Reprioritization, we had aimed to deploy and implement, throughout the drug development process, an AI ecosystem designed to rapidly identify medications related to our key focus areas of neuroscience and immuno-oncology. Our in-house, uniquely integrated AI-to-drug-development capability was complemented by the services and technology of BioXcel LLC, our former parent company. It includes a labeled properties graph (also referred to as a “knowledge graph”) that visually relates collected big data in the form of entities and their properties that include neuropsychiatric symptoms, brain circuits, drug targets, and existing drugs. We believe that understanding the relation between entities relevant to drug development may lead to novel potential uses for existing drugs. Predictive algorithms or queries of the knowledge graph may uncover not only single drugs but potentially identify new combinations of drugs that we believe may be more effective in treating disorders than single agents. New combinations of drugs may lower tolerable doses of drugs and provide the basis for stronger intellectual property positions. Our AI team prioritizes the most valuable external opportunities in a data-driven manner. These opportunities may be found in new potential uses for launched drugs, in drugs that are part of pharmaceutical company pipelines no longer being

    9

    pursued, or within academic efforts to develop new drug candidates. However, due to our Clinical Reprioritization we have deemphasized our drug re-innovation capabilities.

    Traditional drug development is marred by low success rates, long drug development cycles, and exorbitant development costs that are increasing year over year. In addition, many serious diseases remain unaddressed due to limitations of the current drug discovery paradigm. The pharmacological universe spans more than 27,000 active pharmaceutical agents, of which only approximately 4,000 are approved and marketed. Marketed drugs may not be exclusively effective in the indication for which they are approved but relevant to other indications, including rare diseases, and thus represent an untapped potential for addressing unmet medical needs and recouping research and development costs. Many of the remaining agents are active clinical candidates that are shelved or have failed for reasons other than toxicity, which offers the opportunity to re-innovate for other indications or patient segments. Such agents potentially represent an unrealized investment of billions of research and development dollars by the private and public sectors, while failing to remediate immeasurable patient suffering and sacrifice during clinical development. Also, these compounds may have known pharmaco-dynamic and pharmaco-kinetic properties, potentially allowing for a more data-driven selection of appropriate doses for development programs. Finally, with respect to neuropsychiatric indications, we prioritize those compounds with structural design features that we believe may contribute to high blood-brain barrier permeability and therefore could increase the likelihood of compound penetration into the brain. Lack of brain penetration is a common cause for failure of many drugs developed for neuropsychiatric indications. In addition, we are prioritizing compounds with available human safety data, acceptable pharmacokinetic results, and data that support a high probability of achieving reasonable brain concentrations after dosing. The compounds in our pipeline have been identified using this proprietary platform.

    This drug re-innovation model has been exemplified by the successful development and commercialization of drugs such as Tecfidera® (Biogen, Inc.), Thalomid® (Celgene Corporation), and Viagra® (Pfizer, Inc.). All of these drugs were identified by insights in biology and disease pathophysiology. The successful business models of biotech companies like Axsome Therapeutics, Inc. and Karuna Therapeutics, Inc. (acquired by Bristol Myers Squibb) are based on the re-innovation and combination of existing clinical candidates or marketed drugs to provide novel solutions for patients. Unfortunately, such discoveries have been severely limited in scope due to the lack of a genuinely integrated approach to mining big data and advanced analytics.

    Our AI-based discovery and development process was the foundation of our drug re-innovation model for identifying the next wave of potential medicines. Our therapeutic area experts had substantial experience across the drug discovery and development value chain. We believe that our method of finding potential product candidates gives us a higher probability of success because it combines AI expertise and intuition of human experience in drug development. We believe the combination of AI and drug discovery and development expertise facilitates the generation of therapeutic candidates and gives us a significant competitive advantage.

    Our approach is illustrated below:

    Our drug identification platform led to the identification of dexmedetomidine, the rapid development of BXCL501, and its approval by the FDA as IGALMI®, as well as the advancement of BXCL501 for other potential indications.

    About BXCL501

    BXCL501 is our most advanced neuroscience clinical candidate. In indications other than those approved by the FDA as IGALMI®, BXCL501 is an investigational, proprietary, orally dissolving sublingual film formulation of dexmedetomidine, a selective alpha-2 receptor agonist, targeting symptoms from stress-related behaviors such as agitation.

    As a selective adrenergic agent with a sublingual or buccal route of administration, BXCL501 is designed to be easy to administer and has shown a relatively rapid onset of action in multiple clinical trials, including clinical trials studying patients with schizophrenia, bipolar disorders, and dementia associated with Alzheimer’s disease. We believe the results from these studies suggest that BXCL501 has the potential to generate a calming effect without producing excessive sedation. We also believe BXCL501 is highly differentiated from antipsychotics and benzodiazepines, which are currently used as first-line standard-of-care treatment for agitation despite often producing unwanted side effects such as excessive sedation or extra pyramidal motor effects. Managing patient agitation in neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders represents a significant challenge for physicians and caregivers. We believe BXCL501 has the potential to address these challenges and, if approved for the respective indications, has the potential to become the standard of care for the acute treatment of agitation associated with these disorders.

    In addition, based on its mechanism of action, we believe BXCL501 has the potential to address some behavioral symptoms of several additional diseases or conditions, including opioid use disorder (“OUD”), acute stress disorder (“ASD”) and post-traumatic stress disorder (“PTSD”). BXCL501 is currently being evaluated for treatment of patients with those conditions in clinical trials sponsored by leading academic research institutions. See Government-Supported Investigator-Sponsored Trials (“ISTs”) below.

    Agitation Overview and Market Opportunity

    Agitation in patients with neuropsychiatric diseases is a serious medical condition. Agitation is characterized by feelings of unease, excessive talking, and/or unintentional and purposeless motions, such as wringing of the hands or pacing. People experiencing agitation may also express excitement, hostility, poor impulse control, tension, uncooperativeness, and occasional disruptive behavior, which may lead to aggression, violence and self-injurious behavior. In many cases, people develop agitation when treatment for their underlying disorder is not working well. Stressful situations or traumatic events can also trigger agitation. Agitation can occur suddenly or slowly and vary in length, lasting for a few minutes or for an extended period.

    We estimate that in the United States, there are approximately 1.9 million patients diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease-related dementia (“AAD”) and that those patients experience agitation at a rate of about six episodes per month, on average. In addition, we estimate that there are approximately 2.3 million Americans diagnosed with schizophrenia or bipolar disorders who experience agitation at home, of whom 1.8 million may be eligible for treatment with BXCL501. Based on our recently completed Serenity At Home Trial we believe that those patients experience agitation at a rate of about three – four episodes per month, on average. We, therefore, believe there is significant potential market opportunity for BXCL501 if approved for use in these patient populations in the at-home setting. The foregoing estimates of the incidence of each patient population and the number of agitation episodes experienced and potential market opportunity are based on management’s estimates and third-party data, which may be materially different from actual agitation episodes and actual treatable patients. For additional information regarding risks associated with these estimates, see Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors “— Our estimated number of episodes of agitation and our corresponding estimated total addressable market are subject to inherent challenges and uncertainties. If we have overestimated the number of episodes or the size of our total addressable market for our current and potential future products or product candidates, or if any approval that we obtain is based on a narrower definition of the patient population, our revenue and ability to achieve profitability may be harmed.”

Our most advanced immuno-oncology asset, BXCL701, is an investigational oral innate immune activator from OnkosXcel Therapeutics as a potential therapy for the treatment of aggressive forms of prostate cancer, pancreatic cancer, and other solid and liquid tumors.

    On April 6, 2022, we announced that the FDA approved IGALMI® (dexmedetomidine) sublingual film for the acute treatment of agitation associated with schizophrenia or bipolar I or II disorder in adults. IGALMI® is approved to be self-administrated by patients under the supervision of a health care provider. On July 6, 2022, we announced that IGALMI® was commercially available in doses of 120 and 180 micrograms (“mcg”).

    On August 27, 2025 we announced that the SERENITY At-Home Pivotal Phase 3 trial evaluating the safety of BXCL501, as an acute treatment for agitation associated with bipolar disorders or schizophrenia in the at-home setting, met its primary objective. The data from this successful study will form the basis of the sNDA submission for a label expansion of IGALMI® into the at-home setting. The sNDA was filed with the FDA on January 14, 2026.

    We have deprioritized the development of BXCL501 for certain other proposed indications.

    Our most advanced immuno-oncology candidate, BXCL701, is an investigational oral innate immune activator from OnkosXcel Therapeutics as a potential therapy for the treatment of aggressive forms of prostate cancer, pancreatic cancer, and other solid and liquid tumors. Development of our BXCK701 programs continues to be deprioritized.

    IGALMI® Commercialization Strategy

    We continue to support IGALMI® in the hospital setting with minimal commercial support. On August 14, 2023, the Company announced it had implemented a shift in commercial strategy for IGALMI® in the institutional setting, a reduction of in-hospital commercialization expenses, a suspension of programs no longer deemed core to the Company’s business, and a shift to focus on the development of BXCL501 for use in the at-home and care facilities in the treatment of acute agitation in schizophrenia and bipolar disorders, and in the treatment of acute agitation (non-daily) associated with dementia due to probable Alzheimer’s disease (collectively, the “ Clinical Reprioritization”).

    Following the Clinical Reprioritization, a small Corporate Account Director (“CAD”) team supported current customers and targeted Integrated Delivery Networks (“IDNs”) with educational support and contracting opportunities, while our trade operation supported customers with drug supply.  The goal of this approach was to help maintain current business and potentially broaden IGALMI® utilization through volume contracting.

    As part of the Clinical Reprioritization in September 2024, further workforce reductions were made, including 9 additional marketing and sales employees. The Clinical Reprioritization staff reductions may have had impacts on net revenue. IGALMI® product sales decreased to $642 for the year ended December 31, 2025 from $2,266 for the year ended December 31, 2024.

    We are currently seeking potential commercial partners. Our continued commercialization efforts for IGALMI® are designed to build the foundation to launch additional potential follow-on indications, if any. If IGALMI® would be approved outside the U.S., we would consider launching the product through collaborations with third parties.

    Recent Developments

    IGALMI® sNDA Submission for At-Home Use and Milestone

    On January 20, 2026, we announced we submitted a supplemental New Drug Application, or sNDA, to the FDA for IGALMI® in the at-home use setting for the acute treatment of agitation associated with bipolar disorders or schizophrenia. This sNDA submission seeks to expand IGALMI’s label to include the broader at home patient population where there are no FDA-approved options currently available.

    March 2026 Offering and Warrant Amendment

    On March 10, 2026, we entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “March 2026 Offering”) with the purchaser named therein (the “Purchaser”). Pursuant to the March 2026 Offering, we agreed to issue and sell to the Purchaser and the Purchaser agreed to buy in a registered direct offering (i) an aggregate of 2,480 shares (the “Shares”) of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”) and accompanying warrants to purchase up to 2,480 shares of Common Stock at a combined offering price of $1.739 per Share and accompanying warrant, and (ii) Pre-Funded warrants to purchase up to 2,020 shares of Common Stock and accompanying warrants to purchase up to 2,020 shares of Common Stock, at a combined offering price of $1.738 per share underlying the Pre-Funded Warrants and accompanying warrant, which equals the offering price per Share and accompanying warrant less the $0.001 exercise price per share of the Pre-Funded Warrants, pursuant to our effective registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-275261), including the base prospectus included therein, and a prospectus supplement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 10, 2026. The accompanying warrants have an exercise price of $1.614 per share, are immediately exercisable upon issuance, and will expire on the five-year anniversary of the date of issuance.

     

    118

    The March 2026 Offering closed on March 11, 2026. We received aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $7,825, before deducting placement agent fees and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

     

    Rodman & Renshaw LLC (the “Placement Agent”) acted as our exclusive placement agent in connection with the March 2026 Offering. As compensation in connection with the March 2026 Offering, we agreed to pay the Placement Agent a cash fee equal to 6.0% of the gross proceeds from the March 2026 Offering, and issue to the Placement Agent or its designees warrants to purchase a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 4.0% of the aggregate number of shares placed in the Registered Direct Offering (180,031 shares), at an exercise price equal to 125% of the offering price per share (or $2.0175 per share), with a term of five years from the commencement of the Registered Direct Offering (the “Placement Agent Warrants”). We also agreed to reimburse the Placement Agent for certain expenses in an amount of up to $75 and to pay up to $16 for clearing and closing expenses.

     

    In connection with the March 2026 Offering, pursuant to the terms of a Warrant Amendment Agreement, dated as of March 10, 2026 (the “Warrant Amendment Agreement”), the exercise price of certain outstanding warrants issued on March 27, 2024 and November 25, 2024 to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,385 shares of Common Stock held by the Purchaser was reduced to $1.614 per share, equal to the exercise price of the Accompanying Warrants issued in the March 2026 Offering, and the term of such warrants was extended to five years following the closing date of the March 2026 Offering. The investor paid approximately $173 in exchange for the reduction in exercise price and the extension of the term of these warrants. We paid the Placement Agent a cash fee of 6.0% of the gross proceeds paid for the warrant amendment.

    Components of Our Results of Operations

    Product Revenue, Net

    Revenue relates to sales of IGALMI® and reflects limited market access since commercial launch in July 2022. The revenues are net of rebates, chargebacks, discounts, and other adjustments. During the fourth quarter of 2022, we began contracting directly with intermediaries such as GPOs.

    Operating Costs and Expenses

    Cost of Goods Sold

    Cost of goods sold primarily relates to the costs of producing, packaging, and delivering our product to customers as well as costs related to excess or obsolete inventory.

    Research and Development

    Our research and development expenses reflect costs associated with the identification of our preclinical and clinical product candidates. Expenditures primarily consist of salary, benefits and non-cash stock-based compensation for our research and development personnel, costs incurred under agreements with contract research organizations and sites that conduct our non-clinical studies and clinical trials, costs of outside consultants engaged in research and development activities, travel expenses, the cost of acquiring, developing and manufacturing preclinical and clinical trial materials and lab supplies, and depreciation and other expenses. Payments to BioXcel LLC are also included in research and development expenses. Costs associated with third parties that provide non-clinical services such as toxicology, pharmacology, research and discovery, biomarker studies and similar services are included in the professional fees category of research and development expenses.

    We expense research and development costs as incurred.

    Our research and development costs by program for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were as follows:

    Selling, General and Administrative

    Selling, general and administrative expenses primarily consist of salaries, benefits and non-cash stock-based compensation for our sales, executive and administrative personnel. Selling, general and administrative expenses also include legal expenses to pursue patent protection of our intellectual property and other corporate matters, professional fees for audit and tax services and insurance charges. We may also incur increased costs to comply with corporate governance, internal controls, investor relations and disclosures and similar requirements applicable to public companies.

    120

    As a result of our restructuring activities completed during 2024, we expect that our selling, general and administrative expenses will decline due to IGALMI®’s restructured commercialization plan and reduced personnel costs. However, we may also experience increased selling, general and administrative expenses due to higher fees for outside consultants, attorneys, and accountants.

    Restructuring Costs

    2023 Clinical Reprioritization

    On August 8, 2023, our Board of Directors approved a broad-based strategic reprioritization (the “Clinical Reprioritization”). We determined to take actions to reduce certain operational and workforce expenses no longer deemed core to ongoing operations to extend its cash runway and drive innovation and growth in high-potential clinical development and value-creating opportunities. These actions included a shift in commercial strategy for IGALMI® in the institutional setting as described, a reduction of in-hospital commercialization expenses, a de-prioritization of programs no longer determined to be core to ongoing operations, and a prioritization on at-home treatment setting opportunities for BXCL501, all as described in Part I, Item 1, “Business”.

    As part of this strategy, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a reduction of approximately 60% of the Company’s workforce. The Company notified impacted employees on August 14, 2023. The Clinical Reprioritization was substantially complete as of December 31, 2023, and the remaining restructuring costs were paid during the first quarter of 2024.

    2024 Clinical Reprioritization

    On May 8, 2024, the Company took actions as part of its continued efforts to preserve cash and prioritize investment in its core clinical programs. The Company reduced its workforce by approximately 15% and notified impacted employees on May 8, 2024. All related restructuring costs were paid in the second quarter of 2024.

    On September 17, 2024, the Company reduced its workforce by an additional 28% to extend its cash runway and prioritize clinical development of BXCL501. The Company completed the Clinical Reprioritization in October 2024, paid $475 of the related costs during the first quarter of 2025, and paid the remaining $128 during the second quarter of 2025.

    Management believes that, after giving effect to the Clinical Reprioritization and additional restructuring activities completed, the Company’s cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $28,757 as of December 31, 2025 and proceeds subsequently raised pursuant to the ATM Program and pursuant to its Registered Direct Offering in March 2026, will allow the Company to fund its operations and meet its liquidity requirements into the second quarter of 2026.

    Other (Income) Expense

    Other (income) expense primarily consists of interest costs associated with the Credit Agreement the Company entered into in April 2022, changes in fair value of derivative financial instruments, and interest income earned on cash and cash equivalents that were comprised primarily of money market funds. Interest expense may increase in the future if we meet required milestones, and we are able to draw down additional funds under the Credit Agreement.

    Commercial sales of IGALMI® launched in July 2022. As part of the Company’s Reprioritization, the IGALMI® commercial team shifted focus to a hospital/contracting strategy with a Corporate Account Director (“CAD”) team. The goal of the realigned CAD team is to work with large hospital/Integrated Delivery Network (“IDN”) and drive sales utilizing a top-down approach, allowing the Company to continue to make inroads into the institutional market in a more cost-efficient manner. IGALMI® product revenue, net for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 was $642 and $2,266, respectively. The decrease in sales was primarily due to a reduction in bulk sales to existing customers, an increase in GPO discounts, and a reduction in commercial activities due to the Clinical Reprioritization in May 2024 and September 2024.

    Cost of Goods Sold

    Cost of goods sold for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were $164 and $2,143, respectively, which primarily related to the costs to produce, package and deliver IGALMI® to customers, as well as costs related to excess or obsolete inventory. We entered into a commercial supply agreement with ARx, LLC (“ARx”) pursuant to which ARx has agreed to exclusively manufacture and supply us with all of our worldwide demand of film formulation of Dex to be used for the commercial supply of IGALMI® and for ongoing clinical trials of our product candidate BXCL501, subject to certain alternative supply provisions. The decrease in Cost of goods sold for the year ended December 31, 2025 is primarily the result of lower charges for reserves for excess or obsolete inventory compared to the same period in 2024. Charges for reserves for excess or obsolete inventory were $108 and $1,980 for the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

    The decrease of $184 for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to the year ended December 31, 2024 is primarily attributable to the following:

    Decreased personnel and related costs related to the Clinical Reprioritization.
    Decreased non-cash stock compensation costs as a result of lower headcount coupled with reversals in accelerated stock compensation expense for employees terminated in the first quarter of 2025 resulting in a net $514 decrease.
    Decreased professional fees due to lower pharmacology costs, research and discovery costs, toxicology, and consulting costs.
    Increased clinical trials expense due to the execution of the SERENITY At-Home pivotal Phase 3 safety trial intended to support a supplemental new drug application to potentially expand the label of IGALMI® into the outpatient or at-home setting.

    Following IGALMI®’s approval by the FDA, we capitalize costs related to commercial production of IGALMI® as inventory and expense those CMC costs related to clinical trials.

    The decrease of $13,998 for the year ended December 31, 2025, relative to the year ended December 31, 2024 is primarily attributable to:

    Decreased personnel costs due to the Clinical Reprioritization in May 2024 and September 2024.
    Decreased professional fees, primarily related to lower legal costs in 2025 compared to 2024 and reductions in consulting for the year ended December 31, 2025.
    Decreased non-cash stock-based compensation costs as a result of lower headcount.
    Decreased other expenses, primarily travel expenses, as a result of lower headcount.
    Decreased commercial and marketing research costs.

    Restructuring Costs

    Restructuring costs were $194 and $2,441 for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. See “Components of Our Results of Operations - Restructuring Costs” above for a discussion of the Company’s Clinical Reprioritization and restructuring activities.

    Other (Income) Expense

    Interest expense increased to $16,984 for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to $15,129 for the year ended December 31, 2024, primarily due to higher debt balances and interest rates under the Credit Agreement. The expense was partially offset by interest income earned on cash and cash equivalents that were held primarily in short-term money market funds. Interest income decreased to $1,066 for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to $2,602 for the year ended December 31, 2024, due to lower average cash balances during the year. Other (income) expense, net is primarily associated with changes in fair value of derivative financial instruments for the period, which relate to instruments associated with the Credit Agreement and the Company’s registered direct equity offerings.

    Inflation

    Inflation generally affects us by increasing our labor costs and clinical trial costs. We do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our results of operations during the periods presented. For a discussion of inflationary risks to our future revenues under the Inflation Reduction Act, see “Health care reform measures could hinder or prevent our product candidates’ commercial success.” in Part I, Item 1A., “Risk Factors” elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

    124

    Reverse Stock Split

    On February 10, 2025, the Company effected a 1-for-16 reverse stock split of its issued and outstanding common stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”). As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, each 16 shares of common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to February 10, 2025 were automatically converted into 1 share of common stock. The Reverse Stock Split did not change the par value of the common stock or the authorized number of shares of common stock. All outstanding convertible notes, stock options and RSUs entitling their holders to purchase or obtain or convert into shares of our common stock were adjusted, as required by the terms of these securities. All applicable common share and per share amounts have been retrospectively restated to show the effect of the reverse stock split.

    Liquidity and Capital Resources

    As of December 31, 2025, we had cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $28,757, negative working capital of $9,241 and stockholders’ deficit of $95,463. Net cash used in operating activities was $57,615 and $72,027 for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. We incurred losses of approximately $69,897 and $59,599 for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. We will need to generate significant product revenues to achieve profitability. Our history of significant losses, negative cash flows from operations, potential near-term increased covenant-driven amortization payments or full repayment obligations under our Credit Agreement, the regulatory event of default triggers under the Credit Agreement, other funding requirement covenants under the Credit Agreement, limited liquidity resources currently on hand, and dependence on our ability to obtain additional financing to fund our operations after the current resources are exhausted, about which there can be no certainty, have resulted in management’s assessment that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least 12 months from the issuance date of the financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

    Successful completion of the Company’s development programs and, ultimately, the attainment of profitable operations are dependent upon future events, including obtaining adequate financing to support the Company’s cost structure and operating plan. Management’s plans to improve the Company’s liquidity and reduce its operating expenses and capital requirements include, among other things, pursuing one or more of the following steps to raise additional capital, none of which can be guaranteed or are entirely within the Company’s control:

    raise funding through the sale of the Company’s equity securities;

    raise funding through third-party investments in or other strategic options for OnkosXcel;

    raise funding through debt financing and/or restructuring of its existing Credit Agreement;

    establish collaborations with potential partners to advance the Company’s product pipeline;

    establish collaborations with potential marketing partners;

    reduce overhead and headcount to focus on core priorities, and/or

    any combination of the foregoing.

    To date, we have continued research and development activities while managing our cash position. However, we require additional funding to continue as a going concern. There are no assurances that we will be successful in obtaining an adequate level of financing as and when needed to finance our operations on terms acceptable to us or at all, particularly when there is market uncertainty or an economic downturn or if other events make investment in our securities less appealing. If we are unable to secure adequate additional funding as and when needed on acceptable or commercially reasonable terms, we may have to significantly delay, scale back or discontinue the development and commercialization of one or more product candidates. In addition, there are various macro-economic trends affecting the financing markets whose impact on our liquidity and future funding requirements are uncertain as of the filing date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. We will need substantial additional funding, and if we are unable to raise capital when needed, we could be compelled to pursue alternative options, including, without limitation, implementing further workforce reductions, reducing or ceasing product development programs and advancement of our clinical trials and product candidates, selling our assets or seeking other strategic alternatives. See “Risks Related to Financial Position and

    125

    Need for Additional Capital — We will need substantial additional funding, and if we are unable to raise capital when needed, we could be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate our product development programs or commercialization efforts or otherwise seek strategic alternatives.” in Part I. Item 1A., “Risk Factors” elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

    Sources of Liquidity

    We have primarily focused our efforts on raising capital and building the products in our pipeline, and, although we generate revenue from sales of IGALMI®, we do not expect to generate positive cash flows from operations in the near term. Since our inception, our operations have been financed primarily from proceeds from the sale of equity securities, including our initial public offering, private placements of our common stock, registered offerings of our common stock, an Equity Distribution Agreement with Canaccord Genuity LLC (“Canaccord”), and borrowings under our Credit Agreement (as described below). We have not yet established an ongoing source of revenue sufficient to cover our operating costs and will need to do so in future periods.

    Financing Agreements

    On April 19, 2022, we entered into two financing agreements: the Credit Agreement and the RIFA. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Lenders originally agreed to provide up to $135,000 in senior secured term loans to us. On April 28, 2022, we borrowed the first $70,000 tranche of loans under the Credit Agreement. Pursuant to the RIFA, the Purchasers agreed to provide us with up to $120,000 in financing for our near-term commercial activities of IGALMI®, development and commercialization of BXCL501 and other general corporate purposes. On July 8, 2022, we drew down the first tranche of $30,000 under the RIFA. In connection with the Credit Agreement, we granted to the Lenders (i) warrants to purchase up to 17 shares of our common stock (the “Closing Date Warrants”), (ii) rights to purchase up to $5,000 of our common stock and (iii) warrants to purchase up to 175 individual ownership units (i.e., not in thousands) in OnkosXcel (the “OnkosXcel Warrants”).

    On November 13, 2023, we, the Lenders and OFA entered into a Waiver and First Amendment to Credit Agreement and Guaranty (the “First Amendment”) that provided for, among other things, a waiver and a modification to the covenant in the Credit Agreement regarding investments in OnkosXcel, pursuant to which we were permitted to invest up to a maximum of $30,000 at any time outstanding in OnkosXcel, increased from the $25,000 at any time outstanding. The First Amendment waived any defaults or events of default arising under the Credit Agreement due to a breach prior to the date of the First Amendment of the OnkosXcel investment covenant, or a breach of our obligation to notify OFA of such default, including our investment in an amount in excess of what was previously permitted under the OnkosXcel investment covenant. In connection with the First Amendment, we paid to the Lenders a fee of $180 (representing 0.25% of the loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement on the date of the First Amendment) and agreed to pay to the Lenders an exit fee equal to 0.25% of the loans under the Credit Agreement repaid upon maturity or prepayment of the loans.

    On December 5, 2023, we entered into the Second Amendment to Credit Agreement and Guaranty and Termination of Revenue Interest Financing Agreement (the “Second Amendment”) with the Lenders and OFA, as administrative agent. The Second Amendment terminated the RIFA and converted the financing previously provided to us thereunder to term loans under the Credit Agreement. In addition, the Second Amendment replaced the Credit Agreement’s existing “Tranche B” and “Tranche C” term loan opportunities with three new tranches aggregating up to $100,000 in potential funding:

    A $20,000 “Tranche B” term loan available upon satisfaction of the following conditions on or before December 31, 2024: (i) us raising an aggregate of at least $40,000 after the date of the First Amendment from (a) equity proceeds or (b) a bona fide contract with a governmental authority to use BXCL501 for opioid withdrawal, (ii) initiation of a new clinical trial in the TRANQUILITY program based on our meeting with the FDA held on October 11, 2023, and (iii) the total pro forma indebtedness outstanding under the Credit Agreement as a percentage of our trailing 30-day market capitalization being less than 30%;

    126

    A $30,000 “Tranche C” term loan available upon satisfaction of the following conditions on or before December 31, 2025: (i) either (a) receipt of approval from the FDA of an sNDA in respect of the use of BXCL501 for the acute treatment of agitation associated with dementia or (b) the receipt of approval from the FDA of an sNDA in respect of the use of BXCL501 for (x) the acute treatment of agitation associated with schizophrenia in adults and (y) the acute treatment of agitation associated with bipolar I or II disorder in adults, in each case, in the community/at home setting without the requirement for administration under the supervision of a healthcare provider, and (ii) the total pro forma indebtedness outstanding under the Credit Agreement as a percentage of our trailing 30-day market capitalization being less than 30%; and
    A $50,000 “Tranche D” term loan available upon satisfaction of the following conditions on or before December 31, 2025: (i) the conditions precedent to the borrowing of Tranche C (as described in the preceding bullet point) have been satisfied, and (ii) our total net revenue attributable to sales of BXCL501 (for the avoidance of doubt, including any revenues attributable to use of BXCL501 for opioid withdrawal) for the trailing twelve consecutive month period exceeding a specified amount.

    As of December 31, 2025, there are no remaining unfunded commitments under the Credit Agreement.

    The Second Amendment also modified the interest rate of the loans provided under the Credit Agreement to be a floating rate per annum equal to the secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) (subject to a SOFR floor of 2.5% and a cap of 5.5%) plus 7.5%.

    Following the Second Amendment, we were required to comply with certain covenants under the Credit Agreement, including a financial covenant that requires we maintain a minimum cash liquidity amount of $15,000 (or higher upon certain events) and a modified minimum revenue requirement measured on a quarterly basis based on the revenue attributable to BXCL501 for the six consecutive month period ending on the last day of the relevant quarter (the “Revenue Covenant”), subject to cure payments of not less than $1,000 if we failed to meet the minimum revenue requirement.

    In connection with the closing of the Second Amendment, we amended and restated the Closing Date Warrants granted to the Lenders on April 19, 2022 to purchase up to 17 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $320.64 per share. Pursuant to the amendment and restatement of the Closing Date Warrants, dated December 5, 2023 (the “Amended and Restated Closing Date Warrants”), the exercise price of the Closing Date Warrants was reduced to $58.3232 per share, which represented the arithmetic average of the volume-weighted average price of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market during the 30 trading days preceding the Second Amendment Effective Date. In addition, the Company granted new warrants to the Lenders to purchase up to 4 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “2023 Warrant Shares”) at an exercise price of $58.3232 per share (the “2023 Warrants”). The Amended and Restated Closing Date Warrants and the 2023 Warrants will expire on April 19, 2029 and may be net exercised at the holder’s election.

    On February 12, 2024 (the “Third Amendment Effective Date”), we entered into the Third Amendment to Credit Agreement and Guaranty (the “Third Amendment”), pursuant to which the Lenders agreed to waive the covenant that we shall not receive a report and opinion from our independent auditors that contains a “going concern” or like qualification or exception or emphasis of matter of going concern footnote with respect to our financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 and, as a result, such event shall not be an event of default. As a condition to the effectiveness of the Third Amendment, among other things, we shall have received at least $40,000 in gross proceeds from a registered public sale of the Company’s common stock, warrants and/or pre-funded warrants on or before February 20, 2024. We did not meet this condition and therefore the Third Amendment did not become effective.

    On March 20, 2024, we entered into the Fourth Amendment to the Credit Agreement (“the Fourth Amendment”), pursuant to which the Lenders waived the Credit Agreement’s covenant that the report and opinion the Company received from its independent registered public accounting firm with respect to the financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2023 not contain a “going concern” or similar qualification.

    The Fourth Amendment included covenants that we receive, (i) after the effective date of the Fourth Amendment and on or before April 15, 2024, at least $25,000 in gross proceeds from the issuance of our common stock, warrants

    127

    and/or pre-funded warrants, and/or in non-refundable cash consideration from partnering transactions entered into after the effective date of the Fourth Amendment (so long as such partnering transactions would not require us or any of our subsidiaries to make any cash investments in connection with the partnering transactions and no such cash investments are made), and (ii) after the effective date of the Fourth Amendment and on or before November 30, 2024, at least $50,000 (for the avoidance of doubt, inclusive of amounts previously counted toward the preceding clause (i)) in gross proceeds from the issuance of our common stock, warrants and/or pre-funded warrants, and/or in cash and/or non-cash consideration (measured at fair market value, as determined by the Administrative Agent (as defined in the Credit Agreement) in its sole discretion ) from partnering transactions entered into after the effective date of the Fourth Amendment. Failure to perform this covenant would constitute (A) a default under the Credit Agreement and (B) an event of default under the Credit Agreement, subject to a cure period, in the case of clause (i) of the preceding sentence, until May 15, 2024 (for the avoidance of doubt, failure to perform clause (ii) would constitute an immediate event of default under the Credit Agreement without any cure or grace period).

    In addition, the Fourth Amendment provided that if we had not, after the Effective Date and on or before September 30, 2024, received at least $40,000 in gross proceeds from the issuance of our common stock, warrants and/or pre-funded warrants, and/or cash and/or non-cash consideration (measured at fair market value, as determined by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) from partnering transactions entered into after the effective date of the Fourth Amendment, the “Minimum Liquidity Amount” (as defined in the Credit Agreement) that we are required to maintain at all times will increase to $25,000 from $15,000, unless and until we had received, after the effective date of the Fourth Amendment and on or before November 30, 2024, at least $50,000 in gross proceeds from the issuance of our common stock, warrants and/or pre-funded warrants, and/or in cash and/or non-cash consideration (measured at fair market value, as determined by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) from partnering transactions entered into after the effective date of the Fourth Amendment.

    In connection with the Fourth Amendment, on the effective date of the Fourth Amendment, we granted new warrants to the Lenders to purchase up to 6 shares of our common stock (the “2024 Warrant Shares”) at an exercise price of $49.1568 per share (the “2024 Warrants”), which represents a 10% premium over the arithmetic average of the volume-weighted average price of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market during the 30 trading days preceding the Effective Date. The 2024 Warrants will expire on April 19, 2029 and may be net exercised at the holder’s election.

    On November 21, 2024, the Company entered into the Fifth Amendment to Credit Agreement and Guaranty and First Amendment to Fourth Amendment to Credit Agreement and Guaranty (the “Fifth Amendment”).

    Pursuant to the Fifth Amendment, the Lenders agreed to, among other things, (i) waive the Credit Agreement’s covenant that the report and opinion the Company will receive from its independent registered public accounting firm with respect to the financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2024 will not contain a “going concern” or similar qualification, (ii) permanently waive the Credit Agreement’s minimum revenue covenant, and (iii) waive the Fourth Amendment’s requirement that the Company raise, after the effective date of the Fourth Amendment and on or before November 30, 2024, at least $50,000 in gross cash proceeds from the issuance of its common stock, warrants, and/or pre-funded warrants, and/or in cash and/or non-cash consideration from newly entered-into partnering transactions.

    The Fifth Amendment included a new capital raising covenant requiring that the Company receive (A) after the effective date of the Fifth Amendment and on or prior to November 27,2024, at least $7,000 in gross cash proceeds from the issuance of the Company’s common stock, warrants and/or pre-funded warrants(“Raise 1”), (B) after the effective date of the Fifth Amendment and on or before March 15, 2025 (provided that the Company was required to use its commercially reasonable efforts to satisfy the requirement by February 15, 2025), at least $18,000 in net cash proceeds (including the proceeds of Raise 1) from (i) the issuance of the Company’s common stock, warrants and/or pre-funded warrants, (ii) non-refundable cash consideration from partnering transactions entered into after the effective date of the Fifth Amendment (so long as such partnering transactions would not require the Company or any of its subsidiaries to make any cash investments in connection with the partnering transactions and no such cash investments are made), (iii) the issuance of the Company’s subordinated debt (subject to terms set forth in the Fifth Amendment), and/or (iv) asset sales permitted pursuant to the Credit Agreement or consented to by the Lenders (such capital raise, “Raise 2”), and (C) after the effective date of the Fifth Amendment and on or prior to the earlier of (x) August 15, 2025 and (y) the date that is 30 days after the final data readout of the SERENITY At-Home Phase 3 trial, at least $29,000 in net cash proceeds (including the proceeds

    128

    from Raise 1 and Raise 2) from the same permitted capital raising activities listed in the preceding clause (B) (“Raise 3”). The Company has raised sufficient net proceeds to date to satisfy this requirement.

    In connection with the Fifth Amendment and the required capital raises described in the preceding paragraph, the Lenders agreed to modify the Credit Agreement’s minimum liquidity covenant to require minimum cash liquidity of $7,500 (instead of $25,000) from and after the closing of Raise 1 until March 30, 2025. On March 31, 2025, the minimum liquidity amount will increase to $10,000 and on September 30, 2025, the minimum liquidity amount will further increase to $15,000.

    In connection with the Fifth Amendment, the Company made the required one-time amortization payment of $2,500 principal amount, together with accrued and unpaid interest and a portion of the prepayment fee and other fees payable by December 31, 2024.

    The Fifth Amendment also modified the interest rate of the loans provided under the Credit Agreement from a floating rate of Term SOFR plus 7.50% per annum, to a fixed rate of 13% per annum, retroactive to and effective as of September 30, 2024. For the quarterly payment dates ending December 31, 2024, March 31, 2025, and June 30, 2025, the Company will have the ability to make interest payments of up to 10% per annum “in-kind” by capitalizing and adding such interest to the outstanding principal amount of the loans under the Credit Agreement. In addition, pursuant to the Fifth Amendment, the Company will be required to make quarterly amortization payments equal to 5.0% of the principal amount of funded loans, together with applicable prepayment fees, beginning on March 31, 2026.

    On the effective date of the Fifth Amendment and as a condition to effectiveness thereof, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries OnkosXcel Therapeutics, LLC and OnkosXcel Employee Holdings, LLC (collectively, “OnkosXcel”), which previously provided unsecured guarantees of the Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement, granted security interests in substantially all of their assets to support such obligations.

    The Fifth Amendment amended the negative covenants under the Credit Agreement to remove flexibility the Company and its subsidiaries previously had thereunder to undertake various transactions, including, without limitation, with respect to potential dispositions of OnkosXcel or out-licenses by OnkosXcel of its intellectual property.

    Pursuant to the Fifth Amendment, the Company committed to appoint a new independent board director (subject to customary background checks, applicable law, confirmation of independence and Nasdaq rules), and to provide the independent director with various privileges and committee memberships on the board of directors of the Company (including the appointment of such director on committee to be formed to focus on capital raising and evaluate strategic options). The Company also agreed to engage an investment banker reasonably acceptable to OFA and the Lenders to assist the Company and its board of directors with evaluating and exploring strategic options.

    The Company also agreed to covenants requiring that the Company’s cash expenditures be monitored by the Lenders according to a board-approved budget provided to the Lenders prior to the signing of the Fifth Amendment, which cash budget will be updated on a bi-weekly basis going forward. The Company will not be permitted to make disbursements for any two-week period in excess of 115% of the aggregate budgeted amount of disbursements for the applicable period. Finally, pursuant to the Fifth Amendment, the Company is restricted from paying cash bonuses its employees or executives during the fiscal years 2024 and 2025 without OFA’s consent or increasing the cash compensation for fiscal year 2025for certain senior officers of the Company from their compensation for fiscal year 2024.

    On March 4, 2025, the Company entered into the Sixth Amendment to our Credit Agreement, which extended the deadline to engage an investment banker. The Company subsequently entered into the Seventh and Eighth Amendments on March 12, 2025 and April 22, 2025, respectively, and collectively, these amendments extended the deadline to July 31, 2025. The Company retained an investment banker on July 29, 2025.

    The Credit Agreement contains, among other things, a covenant requiring that our audited annual financial statements included in our Annual Report be delivered without a "going concern" or like qualification or exception. On March 27, 2026, we entered into the Ninth Amendment to Credit Agreement and Guaranty (the “Ninth Amendment”). Pursuant to the Ninth Amendment, the Lenders agreed to (i) waive the Credit Agreement’s covenant that the report and opinion the

    129

    Company will receive from its independent registered public accounting firm with respect to the financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2025 will not contain a “going concern” or similar qualification, and (ii) reduce the Credit Agreement’s minimum liquidity covenant to require minimum cash liquidity of $12.50 million from and after March 31, 2026 (instead of $15.0 million).

    The Ninth Amendment’s effectiveness is subject to various customary conditions precedent, as well as conditions subsequent requiring the Company to:

    on or before March 31, 2026, make a one-time prepayment of the principal amount of $2.50 million, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon;

    on April 15, 2026, either (i) pay to the Lenders an amendment fee in cash in an amount equal to approximately $2.0 million or (ii) grant new warrants to the Lenders to purchase 1,353,729 shares of common stock of the Company, at an exercise price of $0.01 per share (the “New Warrants”); and

    in connection with the receipt by the Company of any gross cash proceeds from (i) the issuance of the Company’s common stock, warrants and/or pre-funded warrants, (ii) non-refundable cash consideration from partnering transactions entered into after the effective date of the fifth amendment to the Credit Agreement, (iii) the issuance of the Company’s subordinated debt and/or (iv) sales by the Company of its assets, in each case ((i) through (iv)), in transactions permitted under the Credit Agreement, make a prepayment of the loans under the Credit Agreement in an aggregate principal amount equal to 50% of such gross cash proceeds, together with accrued interest thereon and any fees or premia (including prepayment premium) payable in connection therewith; provided, that the foregoing requirement will not apply (A) with respect to the first $2.50 million in the aggregate of proceeds raised from Capital Raise Activities (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and (B) once the aggregate principal amount of the Loans prepaid pursuant to one or more Capital Raise Prepayments equals $2.50 million.

    On the date of issuance of the New Warrants, if applicable, the Company agreed to amend and restate its Third Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement with the Lenders, dated November 25, 2024. Pursuant to such amendment and restatement (the “Fourth Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement”), the Company will agree to register the shares of common stock issuable under the New Warrants, in addition to all warrants previously issued to the Lenders, for resale.

    As of December 31, 2025, the Company had aggregate principal indebtedness of $112,156 outstanding under the Credit Agreement. On March 31, 2026, the Company is required to make (i) the required payment of $9,252, representing an amortization payment of 5.0% of the principal amount of funded loans, together with accrued and unpaid interest and a portion of the prepayment fee and (ii) one-time prepayment of the principal amount of $2,500 in connection with the Ninth Amendment.
