- Based on U.S. GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles), GAAP R&D expenses were $157.3 million for the second quarter of 2022, compared to $125.5 million for the second quarter of 2021. The increase reflects increased investment in research programs and advancement of the clinical pipeline.
