  • RISK FACTORS Our business involves significant risks, some of which are described below.
  • You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below, together with all of the other information contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, including “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and the consolidated financial statements and the related notes.
  • If any of the following risks actually occur, it could harm our business, prospects, operating results and financial condition and future prospects.
  • In such event, the market price of our common stock could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment.
  • Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business operations.
  • This Annual Report on Form 10-K also contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.
  • Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements as a result of factors that are described below and elsewhere in this Annual Report.
  • Risks Related to Commercialization Our business is substantially dependent on the commercial success of Attruby and Beyonttra.
  • The continued commercial success of this product, along with our product candidates, if approved, will depend upon the degree of market acceptance by physicians, patients, healthcare payors, and others in the medical community.
  • Our business depends heavily on our ability to successfully commercialize Attruby and Beyonttra.
  • The commercial success of Attruby and Beyonttra or our product candidates, if approved, will depend upon their degree of market acceptance by physicians, patients, third-party payors, and others in the medical community.
  • Our product candidates, if approved, may nonetheless fail to gain sufficient market acceptance by physicians, patients, healthcare payors, and others in the medical community.
  • The degree of market acceptance of Attruby and Beyonttra or any other of our product candidates we may develop, if approved for commercial sale, will depend on a number of factors, including: • the efficacy and safety of such product candidates as demonstrated in pivotal clinical trials and published in peer-reviewed journals; • the potential and perceived advantages compared to alternative treatments, including any similar generic treatments; • the ability to offer these products for sale at competitive prices; • the ability to offer appropriate patient access programs, such as co-pay assistance; • convenience and ease of dosing and administration compared to alternative treatments; • the clinical indications for which the product candidate is approved by the FDA or comparable regulatory authorities; • product labeling or product insert requirements of the FDA or other comparable foreign regulatory authorities, including any limitations, contraindications or warnings contained in a product’s approved labeling; • restrictions on how the product is distributed; • the timing of market introduction of competitive products, including generics of competing products; • publicity concerning these products or competing products and treatments; • the strength of marketing and distribution support; • favorable third-party coverage and sufficient reimbursement or other assistance for patients who are uninsured or underinsured; and • the prevalence and severity of any side effects or AEs.
  • Sales of medical products also depend on the willingness of physicians to prescribe the treatment, which is likely to be based on a determination by these physicians that the products are safe, therapeutically effective and cost effective.
  • In addition, the inclusion or exclusion of products from treatment guidelines established by various physician groups and the viewpoints of influential physicians can affect the willingness of other physicians to prescribe the treatment.
  • We cannot predict whether physicians, physicians’ organizations, hospitals, other healthcare providers, government agencies or private insurers will determine that our products are safe, therapeutically effective and cost effective as compared with competing treatments.
  • If any product candidates we develop do not achieve an adequate level of acceptance, we may not generate significant product revenue, and we may not become profitable.
  • If our sales and marketing capabilities for Attruby and Beyonttra, and our future product candidates, if approved, are not effective or we are unable to establish sales and marketing capabilities or enter into and maintain our agreements with third parties to sell and market Attruby and Beyonttra or any future product candidates approved for commercial sale, we may be unsuccessful in our commercial efforts.
  • To achieve and maintain commercial success for Attruby and Beyonttra and any other approved product for which we retain sales and marketing responsibilities, we must continue to develop a sales and marketing organization or outsource these functions to third parties.
  • In the future, we may choose to grow our focused sales, marketing, and commercial support infrastructure to market and sell our product candidates, if and when they are approved.
  • We may also elect to enter into collaborations or strategic partnerships with third parties to engage in commercialization activities with respect to selected product candidates, indications or geographic territories, including territories outside the United States, as we have done with Bayer and Alexion in the case of Beyonttra, although there is no guarantee we will be able to enter into similar arrangements in the future even if the intent is to do so.
  • There are risks involved with both establishing our own commercial capabilities and entering into arrangements with third parties to perform these services.
  • For example, recruiting and training a sales force or reimbursement specialists is expensive and time consuming and could delay any product launch.
  • If the commercial launch of a product candidate for which we recruit a sales force and establish marketing and other commercialization capabilities is delayed or does not occur for any reason, we would have prematurely or unnecessarily incurred these commercialization expenses.
  • This may be costly, and our investment would be lost if we cannot retain or reposition commercialization personnel.
  • We may also fail to obtain or maintain the necessary regulatory approvals, distribution licenses or other registrations that are required to ship an approved product to a customer or commercial partner, or our contract manufacturers may fail to supply us or our commercial partners with our required or forecasted amounts of finished product, active pharmaceutical ingredients or raw materials to meet commercial demand on a timely basis, or at all.
  • Factors that may inhibit our efforts to commercialize any approved product on our own include: • the inability to recruit and retain adequate numbers of effective sales, marketing, reimbursement, customer service, medical affairs, and other support personnel; • the inability of sales personnel to obtain access to physicians or persuade adequate numbers of physicians to prescribe any future approved products; • the inability of reimbursement professionals to negotiate arrangements for formulary access, reimbursement, and other acceptance by payors; • the inability to price products at a sufficient price point to ensure an adequate and attractive level of profitability; • manufacturing, supply chain or distribution disruptions that delay or prevent the launch and continued commercialization of any approved products by us or a commercial partner; • the failure to obtain the necessary regulatory approvals, state licenses, wholesale distribution licenses or other registrations that are required to ship an approved product to a customer or commercial partner; • the lack of complementary products to be offered by sales personnel, which may put us at a competitive disadvantage relative to companies with more extensive product lines; and • unforeseen costs and expenses associated with creating an independent commercialization organization.
  • If we enter into arrangements with third parties to perform sales, marketing, commercial support, and distribution services, our product revenue or the profitability of product revenue may be lower than if we were to market and sell any products we may develop internally.
  • In addition, we may not be successful in entering into arrangements with third parties to commercialize, if approved, our product candidates or may be unable to do so on terms that are favorable to us or them.
  • We may have little control over such third parties, and any of them may fail to devote the necessary resources and attention to sell and market our products effectively or may expose us to legal and regulatory risk by not adhering to regulatory requirements and restrictions governing the sale and promotion of prescription drug products, including those restricting off-label promotion.
  • Even if we enter into a commercial partnership with a third party, we may have manufacturing, supply chain or distribution disruptions that delay or prevent the commercial launch of an approved product by our partner.
  • There is also a risk that one of our commercial partners decides to terminate our agreement due to a change in its business priorities or financial condition, or due to other circumstances may no longer be able to fulfill its obligations under our agreement, which would negatively impact our ability to sell our products in certain markets and to generate revenues from product sales.
  • If we do not continue to build on our commercialization capabilities successfully, either on our own or in collaboration with third parties, we will not be successful in commercializing Attruby and Beyonttra and our product candidates, if approved.
  • Our profitability will depend significantly on our ability to sell enough product at competitive prices and on the availability of adequate coverage and reimbursement through governmental or private third-party payors.
  • The insurance coverage and reimbursement status of newly-approved products is uncertain.
  • Our product candidates may become subject to unfavorable pricing regulations, third-party coverage and reimbursement practices, or healthcare reform initiatives, which would harm our business.
  • Failure to obtain or maintain adequate coverage and reimbursement for new or current products could limit our ability to market those products and decrease our ability to generate revenue.
  • The regulations that govern marketing approvals, pricing, coverage, and reimbursement for new drugs vary widely from country to country.
  • In the United States, recently enacted legislation may significantly change the approval requirements in ways that could involve additional costs and cause delays in obtaining approvals.
  • Some countries require approval of the sale price of a drug before it can be marketed.
