Growth
The $12.4B valuation is a 2018 Samumed-era print that no later round has re-tested and that trade press has openly questioned; the company cut 41 staff and dropped its baldness program in 2022, and its value now rests on lorecivivint, the knee-osteoarthritis candidate for which it submitted an NDA to the FDA
