What the filing says
Absci completed a $100M underwritten equity offering in June 2026, with Eli Lilly investing $40M strategically alongside institutional investors (Adage, BVF, Columbia Threadneedle, Invus, Redmile). The company reported positive interim Phase 1 data from its HEADLINE trial of ABS-201 (anti-prolactin receptor antibody): well-tolerated safety profile across all single-ascending-dose cohorts; estimated half-life of ≥65 days supporting 2–3 injections over six months. Cash position increased to $201.1M (from $125.7M on March 31, 2026), sufficient to fund operations into H2 2028. Company anticipates interim proof-of-concept data for pattern hair loss in H2 2026 and full readout early 2027; Phase 2 for endometriosis planned Q4 2026.
