Atrium Therapeutics Reports Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results

- IND clearance for ATR 1072 and launch of Corventis Phase 1/2 trial in

PRKAG2 syndrome -

- Achieved second milestone payment under global cardiovascular collaboration

with Bristol Myers Squibb -

SAN DIEGO, August 13, 2026 / PRNewswire/ - Atrium Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: RNA) ("Atrium," "Atrium Therapeutics," or the "Company"), a biopharmaceutical company advancing precision cardiology by developing RNA therapeutics targeted to the heart, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026, and highlighted recent corporate progress including FDA clearance of its Investigational New Drug (IND) application for ATR 1072 and continued achievements under its collaboration with Bristol Myers Squibb (BMS).

"Our team continues to execute well, achieving FDA clearance of our IND for ATR 1072 and launching Corventis - Atrium's first Phase 1/2 trial and the first clinical study to evaluate a potential disease-modifying treatment for people living with PRKAG2 syndrome," said Kathleen Gallagher, President and Chief Executive Officer of Atrium Therapeutics. "Atrium's precision approach to genetic cardiomyopathies is part of a burgeoning frontier in medicine. Our experienced team is well-positioned to continue advancing and efficiently expanding our pipeline with urgency on behalf of patients and clinicians."

Recent Highlights

Received FDA clearance of IND application and Health Canada No Objection Letter for ATR 1072. FDA cleared Atrium's IND application for ATR 1072, allowing the Company to proceed with Corventis, a Phase 1/2 open-label, multicenter clinical trial designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and efficacy of ATR 1072 in participants living with PRKAG2 syndrome. Additionally, the Company has received a No Objection Letter from Health Canada enabling the activation of planned Corventis study sites in Canada. The study will enroll approximately 37 participants across two parts: Part A, multiple ascending dose cohorts to characterize safety and support dose selection, and Part B, a single-arm expansion cohort at the recommended Phase 2 dose to further evaluate efficacy trends in cardiac structure and function. ATR 1072 is Atrium's first precision cardiology program to enter the clinic.

Initiated clinical site activities for Corventis. Atrium continues to expect the first participant to be enrolled by the end of 2026.

Earned a second milestone payment from Bristol Myers Squibb. Atrium achieved a second milestone under its global cardiovascular collaboration with BMS in August, triggering a payment of $15 million which will be accounted for in the third quarter financial statements.

Anticipated Upcoming Milestones

Enroll first participant in the Corventis Phase 1/2 trial for ATR 1072 by the end of 2026.

Report initial trial data from Corventis demonstrating proof of concept in the second half of 2027.

File IND application for ATR 1086 in 2027, with IND-enabling studies initiating in 2026.

We are also advancing two undisclosed pipeline programs in rare cardiomyopathy targets and expect to select our next development candidate in 2027.

Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results

Collaboration Revenue: Collaboration revenue was $3.0 million for the second quarter of 2026, primarily related to R&D services under Atrium's research collaboration and license agreement with Bristol Myers Squibb.

Research and Development (R&D) Expenses: R&D expenses were $15.3 million for the second quarter of 2026, primarily reflecting clinical trial preparations, IND-enabling activities, and continued development of the Company's overall research capabilities.

General and Administrative (G&A) Expenses: G&A expenses were $10.3 million for the second quarter of 2026, driven by employee-related expenses, professional fees, and costs to support the Company's expanded operations.

Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Short-term Investments: As of June 30, 2026, Atrium $263.9 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. The Company believes its current cash resources, inclusive of the receipt of the second milestone payment from had BMS earned in August, are sufficient to fund planned operations through mid-2028.

About Atrium Therapeutics

Atrium Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: RNA) is pioneering targeted delivery of ribonucleic acid (RNA) therapeutics to the heart to transform the standard of care for people living with cardiomyopathies. With the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) recent clearance of its Investigational New Drug (IND) application for ATR 1072 for PRKAG2 (Protein Kinase AMP-activated non-catalytic subunit Gamma 2) syndrome, Atrium is advancing its first precision cardiology program into the clinic through the Corventis Phase 1/2 clinical trial. The Company's proprietary technology - designed at Avidity Biosciences, Inc. - combines the tissue selectivity of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) and other targeted delivery ligands with the precision of oligonucleotides and is designed to selectively target the underlying drivers of genetically driven cardiac diseases through targeted, non-viral delivery of small interfering RNA (siRNA). This approach builds upon learnings from demonstrated delivery to skeletal muscle and applies it for efficient delivery to the heart, with the potential to overcome challenges associated with non-specific tissue delivery. Beyond ATR 1072, the Company's pipeline includes ATR 1086 for PLN (phospholamban) cardiomyopathy and two undisclosed research targets in rare cardiomyopathies.

About PRKAG2 Syndrome

PRKAG2 syndrome is a rare, autosomal dominant, early-onset cardiomyopathy caused by mutations in the PRKAG2 gene, which encodes the Gamma 2 regulatory subunit of AMPK. Mutations enhance AMPK activity leading to abnormal glycogen accumulation in heart, thickened heart muscles, electrical conduction problems, and arrhythmias. Based on current scientific literature estimates, there are at least 1,000 - 2,000 people with PRKAG2 syndrome in the U.S. Current management is limited to symptomatic treatment; no approved therapies exist to address the underlying genetic driver of disease.

About PLN Cardiomyopathy

Phospholamban ("PLN") cardiomyopathy is a rare autosomal dominant, progressive cardiac disease caused by mutations in PLN, a key regulator of sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase 2a ("SERCA2a") calcium pump. PLN mutations produce protein aggregates that disrupt endoplasmic reticulum processes and lead to dilated, arrhythmogenic, or hypertrophic cardiomyopathies and a significantly increased risk of heart failure and sudden cardiac death. There are 2,000 - 4,000 people with pathogenic PLN variants in the United States. No approved therapies target the underlying molecular cause of the disease.
