Commitments and Contingencies [Abstract] |
Commitments and Contingencies | 11. Commitments and Contingencies Leases In April 2024, the Company entered into an operating lease agreement for the Company’s headquarters in Menlo Park, California, which commenced on June 15, 2024 with an initial term of 39.5 months. In February 2025, the Company entered into an operating lease agreement in Waltham, Massachusetts, which commenced on April 1, 2025 with an initial term of 54 months. The Company leases office spaces under noncancelable operating lease agreements. Lease liabilities are based on the net present value of the remaining lease payments over the remaining lease terms. In determining the present value of lease payments, the Company used its incremental borrowing rate when measuring operating lease liabilities as discount rates were not implicit or readily determinable. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recorded operating and variable lease expenses of $0.2 million and $0.6 million, respectively, in general and administrative expenses in its condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. For the three months ended September 30, 2024 and the period from February 6, 2024 (inception) to September 30, 2024, the Company recorded operating and variable lease expenses of $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, in general and administrative expenses in its condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.

Cell Line License Agreement In March 2024, the Company entered into the Cell Line License Agreement (the “Cell Line License Agreement”) with WuXi Biologics Ireland Limited (“WuXi Biologics”). Under the Cell Line License Agreement, the Company received a non-exclusive, worldwide, sublicensable license to certain of WuXi Biologics’ know-how, cell line, biological materials (the “WuXi Biologics Licensed Technology”) and media and feeds to make, have made, use, sell and import certain therapeutic products produced through the use of the cell line licensed by WuXi Biologics under the Cell Line License Agreement (the “WuXi Biologics Licensed Products”). Specifically, the WuXi Biologics Licensed Technology is used in certain manufacturing activities in support of the ORKA-001 and ORKA-002 programs. In consideration for the license, the Company agreed to pay WuXi Biologics a non-refundable license fee of $150,000, which was recognized as a research and development expense during the period from February 6, 2024 (inception) to December 31, 2024. Additionally, to the extent that the Company manufactures its commercial supplies of bulk drug product with a manufacturer other than WuXi Biologics or its affiliates, the Company is required to make royalty payments to WuXi Biologics at a rate of less than one percent of net sales of WuXi Biologics Licensed Products manufactured by the third-party manufacturer. Pursuant to an amendment to the Cell Line License Agreement effective in November 2024, a provision was added that permits the royalties owed under the agreement to be bought out on a product-by-product basis for a lump-sum payment. The Cell Line License Agreement will continue indefinitely unless terminated (i) by the Company upon six months’ prior written notice and its payment of all undisputed amounts due to WuXi Biologics through the effective date of termination, (ii) by WuXi Biologics for a material breach by the Company that remains uncured for 60 days after written notice, (iii) by WuXi Biologics if the Company fails to make a payment and such failure continues for 30 days after receiving notice of such failure, or (iv) by either party upon the other party’s bankruptcy. Legal Proceedings The Company is not currently party to any material legal proceedings. At each reporting date, the Company evaluates whether or not a potential loss amount or a potential range of loss is probable and reasonably estimable under the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 450, Contingencies (“ASC 450”). The Company expenses as incurred the costs related to its legal proceedings.
