• Q1 operational momentum: the company activated 4 centers, reported record new patient starts, has 29 REMS‑certified sites and is modifying its activation goal to 37 centers by year‑end (40 by Q1 2027), reflecting broad commercial interest.
• Strong topline and guidance: Q1 revenue rose to $25.0M (vs $19.8M LY), ending cash of $89.3M, and management reiterated at least $100M revenue for 2026 with expected positive adjusted EBITDA for the remainder of the year.

• CHOPIN data driving adoption: publication of the CHOPIN results in The Lancet Oncology (combination HEPZATO + immunotherapy showing ~76% response and survival separation) is cited as a key factor changing prescribing patterns and motivating many new sites to adopt a CHOPIN‑like protocol.
