Material uncertainty over going concern
Until additional funding is secured, these circumstances cast significant doubt upon the ability of the Group to continue to support the Company to meet its liabilities as they fall due, which in turn indicates the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

Significant events
- “On April 29, 2025, the Compensation Committee and the Board of Summit Therapeutics Inc (the Company's ultimate parent) approved a modification to the Company's outstanding unvested performance-based stock option awards issued under the Company's 2020 Stock Incentive Plan for employees, that will require only the service-based vesting requirements to continue to be satisfied in order to become fully vested, subject to employee consent. Approximately 277,400 of the Company's outstanding unvested performance-based stock option awards were modified to service-based options awards that vest annually over 4 years beginning on January 1, 2025. The impact of this modification will be recorded in the Company's financial statements beginning with the year ending December 31, 2025.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
