What drove it
- Collaboration revenue was attributable to research and development services provided under the EndPath RadioTherapeutics license agreement.
- The increase in research and development expenses was primarily driven by clinical, manufacturing and preclinical costs to advance ATTO-1310 toward completion of its Phase 1 trial, and manufacturing and preclinical costs to advance ATTO-2306 and ATTO-1091 in IND-enabling activities.
- The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to higher personnel costs to support the Company’s growth and public company readiness activities.
- Preliminary Phase 1b results showed that a single dose of ATTO-1310 was followed by rapid, deep itch relief in chronic pruritus and high-itch AD, with consistent lesion control in high-itch AD patients.

- Net loss was $20.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, compared to $14.4 million for the second quarter of 2025.
- Research and development expenses were $18.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, compared to $13.6 million for the second quarter of 2025.

Analysis
Attovia's second-quarter update was defined by clinical progress and a strengthened capital position rather than commercial revenue. Collaboration revenue was $0.5 million, attributable to research and development services under the EndPath RadioTherapeutics license agreement, compared with no collaboration revenue in the second quarter of 2025. The company reported preliminary Phase 1b clinical proof of concept for ATTO-1310 in chronic pruritus and high-itch AD, with complete data expected in the fourth quarter of 2026.
Operating spending increased as the pipeline advanced. Research and development expense was $18.9 million, compared with $13.6 million in the second quarter of 2025, driven by ATTO-1310 clinical, manufacturing and preclinical activities and IND-enabling work for ATTO-2306 and ATTO-1091. General and administrative expense was $3.3 million, compared with $3.0 million, primarily reflecting personnel costs, growth and public company readiness activities. Net loss was $20.7 million, compared with $14.4 million.
The balance-sheet update includes $115.1 million of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of June 30, 2026. Subsequent to quarter end, the company completed an upsized IPO with aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $332.4 million and net proceeds of approximately $305.4 million. Management expects current cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, including the IPO proceeds, to fund operations into 2030. No capital returns, operating cash flow or free cash flow were reported.
The development calendar is concentrated in late 2026 and the first half of 2027. Attovia plans to report complete ATTO-1310 Phase 1b data in the fourth quarter of 2026, advance ATTO-006 toward development candidate nomination by year-end 2026, and initiate two global ATTO-1310 Phase 2 studies in the first half of 2027. ATTO-2306 and ATTO-1091 are also expected to enter Phase 1 in the first half of 2027. The key reported execution issue is converting preliminary ATTO-1310 findings into complete data and progressing several programs through their planned clinical starts while research and development spending remains elevated.
