As of September 30, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities totaling $161.9 million. The Company believes its current cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities are sufficient to fund its operations into the first half of 2027. The Company remains focused on driving a cash-efficient operation to deliver data across its pipeline.

"In the third quarter, we remained focused on clinical execution in both our global Phase 3 CoMpass trial in early choroidal melanoma and our Phase 1b/2 trial in NMIBC," said Elisabet de los Pinos, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of Aura Biosciences. "Enrollment has taken longer than we expected in early choroidal melanoma due to the requirement to document active tumor growth prior to patient enrollment and other unique enrollment challenges with the first Phase 3 trial in this rare indication. In 2025, we implemented measures to address these operational challenges and have experienced improved enrollment in recent months. We believe we are now in a position to provide guidance regarding the topline data readout for the study."

"We continued to focus on execution in our clinical programs in the second quarter, including our ongoing global Phase 3 CoMpass trial in early choroidal melanoma and our Phase 1b/2 trial in NMIBC," said Elisabet de los Pinos, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of Aura. "With the successful completion of our recent equity financing, we believe we are well positioned to advance the clinical development of bel-sar in our ocular and urologic oncology programs, where we believe our unique mechanism of action has the potential to meaningfully impact the lives of patients."
