Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
Organization and Liquidity | 1. Organization and Liquidity Description of Business 89bio, Inc. (“89bio” or the “Company”) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of innovative therapies for the treatment of liver and cardio-metabolic diseases. The Company’s lead product candidate, pegozafermin, a specifically engineered glycoPEGylated analog of fibroblast growth factor 21 (“FGF21”), is currently being developed for the treatment of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (“MASH”), previously known as nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, and for the treatment of severe hypertriglyceridemia (“SHTG”). 89bio was formed as a Delaware corporation in June 2019 to carry on the business of 89Bio Ltd., which was incorporated in Israel in January 2018. Liquidity The Company has incurred significant losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception and had an accumulated deficit of $557.1 million as of June 30, 2024. The Company has historically financed its operations primarily through the sale of equity securities, including warrants, and from borrowings under term loan facilities. To date, none of the Company’s product candidates have been approved for sale, and the Company has not generated any revenue from commercial products. The Company expects operating losses to continue and increase for the foreseeable future as the Company progresses its clinical development activities for its product candidates. The Company believes its existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $531.4 million as of June 30, 2024 will be sufficient to fund its planned operating expense and capital expenditure requirements for a period of at least one year from the date of the issuance of these financial statements.
