We are a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing a novel disease-modifying approach targeting what we believe to be a key underlying cause of Alzheimer’s disease, or AD. Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disease of the brain that leads to loss of memory and cognitive functions and ultimately results in death. Alzheimer’s disease is currently estimated to affect approximately seven million people in the United States and approximately 55 million people worldwide and was the sixth-leading cause of death among individuals aged 65 and older in 2022 in the United States. Due to the aging population, patient populations in the United States impacted by AD are expected to grow to approximately 13 million people by 2050 without effective preventative measures or safe and effective disease-modifying treatments. By 2050, healthcare costs for AD in the United States…3 From its latest annual report

Risk factors and legal proceedings

The risks Acumen Pharmaceuticals, Inc. names in Item 1A of its 10-K filed Mar 26, 2026: 72 risks under these headings, as written.3

  • Risks Related to our Financial Position and Capital Needs
  • We are a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company with a limited operating history.
  • We have no product candidates approved for commercial sale, we have never generated any revenue from product sales and we may never be profitable.
  • We will require substantial additional funding to finance our operations, complete the development and commercialization of sabirnetug for AD and evaluate future product candidates, including any Aß oligomer-targeted EBD™ product candidates we may develop pursuant to our collaboration with JCR. If we are unable to raise additional funding when needed, we may be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate our drug development programs or other operations.
  • Our independent registered public accounting firm has included an explanatory paragraph relating to our ability to continue as a going concern in its report on our audited financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
  • The terms of our Loan Agreement place restrictions on our operating and financial flexibility. If we raise additional capital through debt financing, the terms of any new debt could further restrict our operating and financial flexibility.
  • We are exposed to interest rate risk under our Loan Agreement with K2HV, which could cause our debt service obligations to increase significantly.
  • Risks Related to the Development of our Product Candidates
  • We are substantially dependent on the success of sabirnetug, our sole product candidate, which will require significant clinical testing before we can seek regulatory approval and potentially launch commercial sales, and which may not be successful in clinical trials, receive regulatory approval or be successfully commercialized, even if approved.
  • The FDA granted Fast Track designation for sabirnetug for the treatment of early AD, and we may seek Fast Track designation for other product candidates. Even if received, Fast Track designation may not actually lead to a faster review or approval process and does not increase the likelihood that our product candidates will receive marketing approval.
  • We have concentrated our research and development efforts on the treatment of AD, a field that has to date seen very limited success in drug development.
  • Our approach to the potential treatment of AD is based on a novel therapeutic approach, which exposes us to unforeseen risks.
The other 62 risks
  • Nonclinical and clinical drug development involves a lengthy, expensive and uncertain process. The results of nonclinical studies and early clinical trials are not always predictive of future results. Sabirnetug or any other product candidate that we advance into clinical trials may not achieve favorable results in later clinical trials, if any, or receive marketing approval.
  • Clinical failure can occur at any stage of clinical development, and we have never submitted a biologics license application, or BLA, or other marketing authorization application, or MAA.
  • We may incur additional costs or experience delays in completing, or ultimately be unable to complete, the development and commercialization of our product candidates.
  • Adverse side effects, properties or other safety risks associated with sabirnetug or any future product candidates could delay or preclude approval, cause us to suspend or discontinue clinical trials, abandon further development, limit the commercial profile of an approved label or result in significant negative consequences following marketing approval, if any.
  • We have experienced and may continue to experience delays or difficulties in the enrollment and retention of patients in clinical trials, which could delay or prevent our receipt of necessary regulatory approvals.
  • Interim, “topline” and preliminary results from our clinical trials that we announce or publish from time to time may change as more data become available and is subject to audit and verification procedures that could result in material changes in the final data.
  • We cannot be certain that sabirnetug or any of our future product candidates will receive regulatory approval, and without regulatory approval we will not be able to market our product candidates.
  • We may in the future conduct clinical trials for our product candidates outside the United States, and the FDA, EMA and other comparable foreign regulatory authorities may not accept data from such trials.
  • We may not be successful in our efforts to build a pipeline of additional product candidates.
  • If we do not achieve our projected development goals in the time frames we announce and expect, the commercialization of our products may be delayed.
  • We may develop sabirnetug and future product candidates for use in combination with other therapies, which could expose us to additional regulatory risks.
  • Changes in methods of product candidate manufacturing or formulation may result in additional costs or delay.
  • We face uncertainty regarding potential regulatory developments that may adversely affect our business.
  • Risks Related to the Commercialization of Our Product Candidates
  • Even if sabirnetug or any other product candidate we may develop receives marketing approval, it may fail to achieve the degree of market acceptance by physicians, patients, third-party payors and others in the medical community necessary for commercial success.
  • If we are unable to enter into a commercial collaboration or, alternatively, establish internal sales, marketing and distribution capabilities for sabirnetug or any other product candidate, including any Aß oligomer-targeted EBD™ product candidates we may develop pursuant to our collaboration with JCR, that may receive regulatory approval, we may not be successful in commercializing those product candidates if and when they are approved.
  • The affected populations for sabirnetug or any other product candidate we may develop may be smaller than we or third parties currently project, which may affect the addressable markets for our product candidates.
  • Off-label use or misuse of our products may harm our reputation in the marketplace, result in injuries that lead to costly product liability suits, and subject us to penalties if we fail to comply with regulatory requirements or experience unanticipated problems with any product.
  • We may pursue Breakthrough Therapy designation by the FDA. This designation may not actually lead to a faster development or regulatory review or approval process, and it does not assure FDA approval of any product candidates we may develop.
  • We face significant competition in an environment of rapid technological and scientific change, and there is a possibility that our competitors may achieve regulatory approval before us or develop therapies that are safer or more effective than ours.
  • Any product candidates for which we intend to seek approval as biologic products may face competition sooner than anticipated.
  • The success of our product candidates will depend significantly on coverage and adequate reimbursement or the willingness of patients to pay for these therapies.
  • Product liability lawsuits against us could cause us to incur substantial liabilities and to limit commercialization of any products that we may develop.
  • We are subject to a variety of privacy and data security laws, and our failure to comply with them could harm our business.
  • If we or any contract manufacturers and suppliers we engage fail to comply with environmental, health, and safety laws and regulations, we could become subject to fines or penalties or incur costs that could seriously harm our business.
  • Risks Related to Our Dependence on Third Parties
  • We currently rely on CMOs to supply components of and manufacture sabirnetug. The loss of any of these CMOs or the failure of any of them to meet their obligations to us could affect our ability to develop sabirnetug in a timely manner.
  • We intend to rely on CROs and other third parties to conduct, supervise and monitor a significant portion of our research and nonclinical testing and clinical trials for sabirnetug or any future product candidates, and if those third parties do not successfully carry out their contractual duties, comply with regulatory requirements or otherwise perform satisfactorily, we may not be able to obtain regulatory approval or commercialize our product candidates, or such approval or commercialization may be delayed, and our business may be substantially harmed.
  • If any of our third-party manufacturers encounter difficulties in production of sabirnetug or any future product candidate we develop, or fail to meet rigorously enforced regulatory standards, our ability to provide supply of our product candidates for clinical trials or, if approved, for commercial sale could be delayed or stopped, or we may be unable to maintain a commercially viable cost structure.
  • We will likely seek collaborations with third parties for the development and commercialization of sabirnetug or any future product candidates. If those collaborations are not successful, we may not be able to capitalize on the market potential of those product candidates, including sabirnetug.
  • We may be exposed to a variety of international risks that could materially adversely affect our business.
  • If we engage in acquisitions, we will incur a variety of costs and we may never realize the anticipated benefits of such acquisitions.
  • Risks Related to Our Intellectual Property
  • If we are unable to obtain and maintain sufficient intellectual property protection for sabirnetug and any future product candidates, including any Aß oligomer-targeted EBD™ product candidates, as well as any other proprietary technologies we develop, or if the scope of the intellectual property protection obtained is not sufficiently broad, our competitors could develop and commercialize products similar or identical to ours, and our ability to successfully commercialize our product candidate, and other proprietary technologies if approved, may be adversely affected.
  • Patent terms may be inadequate to protect our competitive position on our product candidate for an adequate amount of time.
  • If we do not obtain patent term extension for our product candidate our business may be materially harmed.
  • If we fail to comply with our obligations in the agreements under which we license intellectual property rights from third parties, or otherwise experience disruptions to our business relationships with our licensors, we could lose license rights that are important to our business.
  • Obtaining and maintaining our patent protection depends on compliance with various procedural, document submission, fee payment and other requirements imposed by governmental patent agencies, and our patent protection could be reduced or eliminated for non-compliance with these requirements.
  • Changes in U.S. patent law could diminish the value of patents in general, thereby impairing our ability to protect our product candidate.
  • We may not be able to protect our intellectual property rights throughout the world.
  • We may become subject to claims challenging the inventorship or ownership of our patents and other intellectual property.
  • We may not be successful in obtaining or maintaining necessary rights to product components and processes for our development pipeline through in-licenses.
  • Third-party claims alleging intellectual property infringement may prevent or delay our drug discovery and development efforts.
  • We may be subject to claims that we have wrongfully hired an employee from a competitor or that we or our employees have wrongfully used or disclosed alleged confidential information or trade secrets of their former employers.
  • We may be involved in lawsuits to protect or enforce our patents or the patents of our licensors, which could be expensive, time-consuming, and unsuccessful. Further, our issued patents could be found invalid or unenforceable if challenged in court, and we may incur substantial costs as a result of litigation or other proceedings relating to patent and other intellectual property rights.
  • Because of the expense and uncertainty of litigation, we may not be in a position to enforce our intellectual property rights against third parties.
  • If we are unable to protect the confidentiality of our trade secrets, our business and competitive position would be harmed. Our reliance on third parties requires us to share our trade secrets, which increases the possibility that a competitor will discover them or that our trade secrets will be misappropriated or disclosed.
  • If our trademarks and trade names are not adequately protected, then we may not be able to build name recognition in our markets of interest and our business may be adversely affected.
  • Intellectual property discovered through government funded programs may be subject to federal regulations such as “march-in” rights, certain reporting requirements and a preference for U.S.-based companies. Compliance with such regulations may limit our exclusive rights and limit our ability to contract with non-U.S. manufacturers.
  • Risks Related to Legal and Regulatory Compliance Matters
  • Our business operations, including our relationships with healthcare providers, such as physicians, third-party payors, patients, other customers or organizations in a position to influence current and future business, are subject, directly or indirectly, to extensive regulation under healthcare laws. If we are unable to comply, or have not fully complied, with such laws, we could face substantial penalties.
  • Even if we obtain regulatory approval for sabirnetug or any future product candidates, they will remain subject to ongoing regulatory oversight, which may result in significant additional expense.
  • Even if we obtain FDA or EMA approval for any of our product candidates in the United States or European Union, we may never obtain approval for or commercialize any of them in any other jurisdiction, which would limit our ability to realize their full market potential.
  • Healthcare legislative or regulatory reform measures may have a negative impact on our business and results of operations.
  • Our business activities may be subject to the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, or FCPA, and similar anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws.
  • Our employees, independent contractors, consultants, commercial partners and vendors may engage in misconduct or other improper activities, including noncompliance with regulatory standards and requirements and insider trading, which could significantly harm our business.
  • Our business and operations would suffer in the event of computer system failures, cyberattacks or a deficiency in our cybersecurity or a natural disaster.
  • Our insurance policies are expensive and only protect us from some business risks, which will leave us exposed to significant uninsured liabilities.
  • Risks Related to Employee Matters and Managing our Growth
  • We will need to expand our operations and increase the size of our company, and we may experience difficulties in managing growth.
  • We may not be able to manage our business effectively if we are unable to attract and retain key personnel and consultants.
  • If we fail to build our finance infrastructure and improve our accounting systems and controls, we may be unable to comply with the financial reporting and internal controls requirements for publicly traded companies.
  • Risks Related to Ownership of our Common Stock and our Status as a Public Company
  • An active trading market for our common stock may not continue to be developed or sustained.
  • The trading price of the shares of our common stock may be volatile, and purchasers of our common stock could incur substantial losses.
  • If equity research analysts do not publish research or reports, or publish unfavorable research or reports, about us, our business or our market, our stock price and trading volume could decline.
  • Future sales of our common stock in the public market could cause our share price to fall.
  • Provisions in our corporate charter documents and under Delaware law may prevent or frustrate attempts by our stockholders to change our management and hinder efforts to acquire a controlling interest in us, and the market price of our common stock may be lower as a result.

Legal proceedings

From time to time, we may be involved in various claims and legal proceedings relating to claims arising out of our operations. We are not currently a party to any legal proceedings that, in the opinion of our management, are likely to have a material adverse effect on our business. Regardless of outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.
