The Company is excited to announce a $5 million offering to support the completion of its REBUILD Phase 3 study and for general corporate purposes.

With a total of 145 patients enrolled, the study is powered to obtain a p-value of 0.01 for the primary endpoint of a change in MVPA. The Company is looking forward to releasing topline data in mid-2023.
