Negative Impact 4 of 5 product/contract Written later

On November 3, 2026, Novo Nordisk gave Korro Bio notice that it will terminate their research collaboration and license agreement without cause, effective February 1, 2027. Novo Nordisk did not nominate a second target, and no milestone payments were earned under the agreement. Korro's third-quarter 2026 results showed no collaboration revenue, compared with $1.1 million a year earlier, while the net loss narrowed to $17.5 million from $18.1 million.

  • Novo Nordisk gave 90 days' notice on November 3, 2026; the termination takes effect February 1, 2027.
  • Korro's $10.0 million upfront payment and other amounts received are non-refundable, and Korro will not incur early termination penalties.

  • Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were $124.8 million at September 30, 2026, with a runway into the second half of 2028.
