Percheron Therapeutics Limited reported a full-year loss of $4,791,745 for the year ended 30 June 2026, a 68% decrease from the previous year.

The company successfully completed a phase I clinical trial of HMBD-002, which demonstrated excellent safety and tolerability, both as monotherapy and in combination with pembrolizumab.
