Current report
The FDA and other regulatory agencies actively enforce the laws and regulations governing the promotion of prescription products, including those prohibiting the promotion of off-label uses.
Current report
The FDA and other regulatory agencies strictly regulate the promotional claims that may be made about prescription products. While the FDA permits the dissemination of truthful and non-misleading information about an approved product, a sponsor may not promote a product unlawfully or for uses that are not approved by the FDA or such other regulatory agencies as reflected in the product’s approved labeling. If we are found to have promoted our products unlawfully or for such off-label uses, we may become subject to significant liability. The federal government has levied large civil and criminal fines against companies for alleged improper promotion of products, including for off-label use, and has enjoined several companies from engaging in off-label promotion. The FDA has also requested that companies enter into consent decrees, corporate integrity agreements, or permanent injunctions under which specified promotional conduct must be changed or curtailed.
Current report
In September 2025, the FDA announced increased scrutiny of advertising and promotional practices, with a particular focus on direct-to-consumer (“DTC”) advertising and reportedly sent thousands of letters to pharmaceutical companies to remove misleading ads, including a large number of untitled and warning letters citing allegedly misleading claims. We received one of these untitled letters citing a DTC broadcast advertisement for Attruby. This heightened enforcement environment increases the risk that our promotional materials, even if we believe them to be compliant, could be challenged by the FDA or by consumers or plaintiffs’ counsel, which could lead us to modify or withdraw certain promotional materials. If we cannot successfully manage the promotion of our products or product candidates, if approved, we could become subject to significant liability, which would materially adversely affect our business and financial condition.
Current report
Notwithstanding regulations related to product promotion, the FDA and other regulatory authorities allow companies to engage in truthful, non-misleading, and non-promotional scientific exchange concerning their products. We intend to engage in medical education activities and communicate with healthcare providers in compliance with all applicable laws and regulatory guidance.
Current report
Disruptions to the operations of the FDA, the SEC and other government agencies, or comparable regulatory authorities caused by funding shortages or global health concerns, in addition to substantial uncertainty regarding the new Administration’s initiatives and staffing cuts and how these might impact the FDA, its implementation of laws, regulations, policies and guidance, and its personnel, could hinder their ability to hire and retain key leadership and other personnel, prevent new products and services from being developed or commercialized in a timely manner or otherwise prevent those agencies from performing normal functions on which the operation of our business may rely, including timely reviews, which could negatively impact our business.
Current report
The ability of the FDA to review and approve new products or take action with respect to other regulatory matters can be affected by a variety of factors, including government budget and funding levels, the ability to hire and retain key personnel and accept payment of user fees, the availability of personnel and other resources, and statutory, regulatory and policy changes that may otherwise affect the FDA’s ability to perform routine functions. As a result, average review times at the agency have fluctuated in recent years. In addition, government funding of the SEC and other government agencies on which our operations may rely, including those that fund research and development activities is subject to the political process, which is inherently fluid and unpredictable.
Current report
Disruptions at the FDA and other agencies, including substantial leadership departures, personnel cuts, and policy changes, may also slow the time necessary for new drugs to be reviewed and/or approved, or for other actions to be taken, by relevant government agencies, which would adversely affect our business. Changes and cuts in FDA staffing have been reported by some within the pharmaceutical industry as creating instances of delays in the FDA’s responsiveness or in its ability to review IND submissions or applications, issue regulations or guidance, or implement or enforce regulatory requirements in a timely fashion or at all.
Current report
Similar consequences would also result in the event of another significant shutdown of the federal government. For example, over the last several years, the U.S. government has shut down several times, including on October 1, 2025, and certain regulatory agencies, such as the FDA, have had to furlough critical FDA employees and stop critical activities. The duration of the current government shutdown is unknown. If a prolonged government shutdown occurs, or if geopolitical or global health concerns prevent the FDA or other regulatory authorities from conducting their regular inspections, reviews, or other regulatory activities, it could significantly impact the ability of the FDA or such other regulatory authorities to timely review and process our regulatory submissions, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, including INDs placed on clinical holds or delayed new drug approvals. Similarly, a prolonged government shutdown or disruption to the operations of the USPTO could prevent the timely review of our patent applications, which could delay the issuance of any U.S. patents to which we might otherwise be entitled. Further, in our operations as a public company, future government shutdowns or substantial leadership, personnel, and policy changes could impact our ability to access the public markets and obtain necessary capital to properly capitalize and continue our operations. If the FDA is constrained in its ability to engage in oversight and implementation activities in the normal course, our business may be negatively impacted.
Current report
We rely entirely on third parties for the manufacturing of commercial supplies of Attruby and Beyonttra and for supplies of our product candidates that we may develop for preclinical studies and clinical trials. Our business could be harmed if those third parties fail to provide us with sufficient quantities of drug product, or fail to do so at acceptable quality levels or prices.
Current report
We do not currently have, nor do we plan to acquire, the infrastructure or capability internally to manufacture Attruby and Beyonttra on a commercial scale or to manufacture drug supplies of our product candidates for our ongoing clinical trials or any future clinical trials that we may conduct, and we lack the resources to manufacture our product candidates, if approved, on a commercial scale. We rely, and expect to continue to rely, on third-party manufacturers for the manufacturing of commercial supplies of Attruby and Beyonttra and other product candidates, if approved. We also rely on third-party manufacturers for the clinical manufacturing supply of our product candidates. Although we have entered into long-term supply arrangements and generally do not begin a clinical trial unless we believe we have a sufficient supply of a product candidate to complete the trial, any significant delay or discontinuity in the supply of a commercial product, product candidate, or the raw material components thereof, for continued commercial sales or for an ongoing clinical trial due to the need to replace a third-party manufacturer could considerably delay or curtail commercial sales of a product or the clinical development and potential regulatory approval of our product candidates, which could harm our business and results of operations.
Current report
With the change in the U.S. Presidential Administration in 2025, there continues to be substantial uncertainty as to whether and how the new administration will seek to modify or revise the requirements and policies of the FDA and other regulatory agencies with jurisdiction over our product candidates and any products for which we obtain approval. This uncertainty could present new challenges as we navigate development and approval of our product candidates. Some of these efforts have manifested to date in the form of personnel cuts and measures that could impact the FDA’s ability to hire and retain key personnel, which could result in delays or limitations on our ability to obtain guidance from the FDA on our product candidates in development and obtain the requisite regulatory approvals in the future. There remains general uncertainty regarding future activities. The new Administration could issue or promulgate executive orders, regulations, policies or guidance that adversely affect us or create a more challenging or costly environment to pursue the development of new therapeutic products. Alternatively, state governments may attempt to address or react to changes at the federal level with changes to their own regulatory frameworks in a manner that is adverse to our operations. If we become negatively impacted by future governmental orders, regulations, policies or guidance as a result of the new Administration, there could be a material adverse effect on us and our business.
Current report
We may be unable to identify and appropriately qualify third-party manufacturers or establish agreements with third-party manufacturers or do so on acceptable terms. Even if we are able to establish agreements with third-party manufacturers, reliance on third-party manufacturers entails additional risks, including:
Current report
•reliance on the third party for sourcing of raw materials, components, and such other goods as may be required for execution of its manufacturing processes and the oversight by the third party of its suppliers;
Current report
•reliance on the third party for regulatory compliance and quality assurance for the manufacturing activities each performs;
Current report
•the possible breach of the manufacturing agreement by the third party;
Current report
•the possible misappropriation of proprietary information, including trade secrets and know-how; and
Current report
•the possible termination or non-renewal of the agreement by the third party at a time that is costly or inconvenient for us.
Current report
Furthermore, all of our CMOs are engaged with other companies to supply and/or manufacture materials or products for such companies, which exposes our manufacturers to regulatory risks to produce such materials and products. The facilities used by our contract manufacturers to manufacture our products and product candidates are subject to review by the FDA pursuant to inspections that will be conducted after we submit an NDA or BLA to the FDA. We do not control the manufacturing process of, and are completely dependent on, our contract manufacturing partners for compliance with the regulatory requirements, known as cGMP, requirements for manufacture of drug and biologic products. If our contract manufacturers cannot successfully manufacture material that conforms to our specifications and the strict regulatory requirements of the FDA or others, we will not be able to secure or maintain regulatory approval for our product candidates manufactured at these manufacturing facilities. In addition, we have no control over the ability of our contract manufacturers to maintain adequate quality control, quality assurance and qualified personnel. If the FDA or a comparable foreign regulatory agency does not approve these facilities for the manufacture of our product candidates or if any agency withdraws its approval in the future, we may need to find alternative manufacturing facilities, which would negatively impact the ability to develop, obtain regulatory approval for or market, if approved, our product candidates.
Current report
On March 27, 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the United States passed into law the CARES Act, which enhanced the FDA’s authority with respect to drug shortage measures. Under the CARES Act, we must have in place a risk management plan that identifies and evaluates the risks to the supply of approved drugs for certain serious diseases or conditions for each establishment where the drug or active pharmaceutical ingredient is manufactured. The risk management plan will be subject to FDA review during an inspection. If we experience shortages in the supply of Attruby or any of our other product candidates that receive marketing approval, our results could be materially impacted.
Current report
Our products and product candidates may compete with other marketed drugs and product candidates and marketed drugs for access to manufacturing facilities. In addition, any performance failure on the part of our existing or future manufacturers could delay clinical development, marketing approval or commercialization. Our current and anticipated future dependence upon others for the manufacturing of our products and product candidates may adversely affect our future profit margins and our ability to commercialize any product candidates that receive marketing approval on a timely and competitive basis.
Current report
The drug substance and drug product for certain of our product candidates and commercial products are currently acquired from single-source suppliers. The loss of these suppliers, or their failure to supply us with the drug substance or drug product, could materially and adversely affect our business.
Current report
The drug substance and drug product for certain of our product candidates and commercial products are manufactured by single-source suppliers or CMOs pursuant to development and manufacturing contracts, quality agreements and purchase orders. We do not currently have any other suppliers for the drug substance or drug product of these product candidates or commercial products and, although we believe that there are alternate sources of supply that could satisfy our clinical and commercial requirements and are in the process of establishing agreements with alternate suppliers, we cannot assure you that identifying alternate sources and establishing relationships with such sources would not result in significant delay in the development of our product candidates.
Current report
Our dependence on single-source suppliers exposes us to certain risks, including the following:
Current report
•our suppliers may cease or reduce production or deliveries, raise prices or renegotiate terms;
Current report
•delays caused by supply issues may harm our reputation; and
Current report
•our ability to progress our business could be materially and adversely impacted if our single-source suppliers upon which we rely were to experience any significant business challenges, disruption or failures due to issues such as financial difficulties or bankruptcy, issues relating regulatory or quality compliance issues, or other legal or reputational issues.
Current report
Additionally, we may not be able to enter into supply arrangements with alternative suppliers on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. A delay in the supply of our commercial products to the market or development of our product candidates, or having to enter into a new agreement with a different third party on less favorable terms than we have with our current suppliers could have a material adverse impact upon on our business.
