These figures cover the whole profile: every tracked question, all reporting periods.

How to read these numbers

Challenge rate is the share of questions that pushed back, pressed for specifics or questioned management’s assumptions. It describes how questions were asked on the calls tracked here; it does not measure whether any view turned out to be right.

Rounding. Rates are rounded to whole percentages, so a small share can show as 0% even when some questions were challenging. The count beside each rate is exact; “none of N questions” means no question was challenging.

No questions recorded. “—” means there is nothing to calculate: no questions were recorded for that period on the calls tracked here. It does not mean there was no activity.

Fewer than 3 questions. A company-level rate is withheld when fewer than 3 questions were recorded for that company; the questions are still counted everywhere else.

Small samples. Profiles with fewer than 10 questions are marked Limited sample.

Reporting periods. Questions are grouped by the calendar quarter each company’s fiscal reporting period maps to, not by the date of the call. Periods without a calendar mapping are listed separately under their fiscal label.

Calendar 2026 Q2

Can you speak to why you may be confident this increased dosing could translate into improved efficacy?

Show response

Roopal said 100 mg is the lowest dose carried forward and 150 mg is next, citing prior lower-than-desired receptor occupancy from the EMPOWUR datasets; higher dosing is expected to raise receptor occupancy and improve PK consistency, with Phase 2 kicking off later that week.

Calendar 2025 Q4

can you maybe give us some framing on how you're thinking could compare to Vraylar given the heavier targeting of D3 versus D2

Show response

Roopal Thakkar highlighted 932's potential advantages: less D2 should mean fewer movement disorders while maintaining efficacy. Will examine bipolar 1 vs 2 breakdown. Also pursuing generalized anxiety (not approved for Vraylar). Broader psychiatry pipeline includes kappa opioid antagonist, bretisilocin (expandable beyond MDD), emraclidine at higher doses, and a more D3-leaning preclinical asset from Gedeon Richter.
