We have entered into, and may in the future seek to enter into, collaborations, licenses and other similar arrangements and we may not realize the benefits of such relationships, or may not be successful in entering into such relationships.

Previous report

On May 3, 2024, we entered into a collaboration with Chiesi to co-develop and co-commercialize seralutinib around the world, and we may in the future seek to enter into other collaborations, joint ventures, licenses and other similar arrangements for the development or commercialization of our product candidates, due to capital costs required to develop or commercialize such product candidates or manufacturing constraints. For additional information regarding our collaboration with Chiesi, see Note 10 “Subsequent Events” to the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1, of this Form 10-Q.

Previous report

We may not be successful in our efforts to establish or maintain collaborations, including our collaboration with Chiesi, because third parties may not view our product candidates as having the requisite potential to demonstrate safety and efficacy or significant commercial opportunity. In addition, we face significant competition in seeking appropriate strategic partners, and the negotiation process can be time consuming and complex. Further, in connection with any such collaborations, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our future revenue streams, or grant licenses on terms on terms that may not be favorable to us, as part of any such arrangement, and such arrangements may restrict us from entering into additional agreements with potential collaborators. We cannot be certain that, following the entry into our collaboration with Chiesi or any other strategic transaction or license, we will achieve an economic benefit that justifies such transaction. If we are successful in our efforts to establish any additional collaborations, the terms that we agree upon may not be favorable to us, and we may not be able to maintain such collaborations if, for example, development or approval of seralutinib is delayed, the safety of seralutinib is questioned or sales of seralutinib, if approved, are unsatisfactory. In addition, our collaboration with Chiesi and any potential future collaborations may be terminable by Chiesi or our other strategic partners in certain circumstances, and we may not be able to adequately protect our rights under these agreements. Furthermore, our strategic partners may negotiate for certain rights to control decisions regarding the development and commercialization of seralutinib. For example, under the Chiesi collaboration, Chiesi received such rights and may not conduct development and commercialization activities in the same manner as we do. Any termination of the collaboration with Chiesi or of any other collaborations we enter into in the future, or any delay in entering into collaborations related to seralutinib, could delay the development and commercialization of seralutinib and reduce its competitiveness if it reaches the market, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
