10. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we may be party to litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. We were not subject to any material legal proceedings during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and the year ended December 31, 2024, and, to our knowledge, no material legal proceedings are currently pending or threatened.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

We enter into contracts in the ordinary course of business with third-party service providers for clinical trials, preclinical research studies and testing, manufacturing and other services and products for operating purposes. These contracts generally provide for termination upon notice of 30 to 90 days, and therefore, we believe that our noncancelable obligations under these agreements are not material and we cannot reasonably estimate whether they will occur. However, in the event of a termination of any contracts with clinical research organizations (“CRO”) or other institutions and with respect to active patients enrolled in our clinical trials, we may be financially obligated for a period beyond the contractual termination notice periods. We may also enter into additional research, manufacturing, supplier, lease and other agreements in the future, which may require up-front payments and even long-term commitments of cash.

Indemnification Agreements

We enter into certain types of contracts that contingently require us to indemnify various parties against claims from third parties. These contracts primarily relate to procurement, service, consultancy or license agreements under which we may be required to indemnify vendors, service providers or licensees for certain claims, including claims that may be brought against them arising from our acts or omissions with respect to our products, technology, intellectual property or services. The Company, as permitted under Delaware law and in accordance with its amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws and pursuant to indemnification agreements with certain of its officers and directors, indemnifies its officers and directors for certain events or occurrences, subject to certain limits, in which the officer or director incurs losses or expenses because he or she is or was serving at the Company’s request in such capacity. At the 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to, and the Company subsequently amended, its amended and restated certificate of incorporation to extend the indemnification of officers pursuant to recent amendments to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

From time to time, we may receive indemnification claims under existing contracts in the normal course of business. In the event that one or more of these matters were to result in a claim against us, an adverse outcome, including a judgment or settlement, may cause a material adverse effect on our future business, operating results or financial condition. It is not possible to estimate the maximum amount potentially payable under these contracts since we have no history of prior indemnification claims and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular claim will be determinative.
