Clinical Trials and Product Development - The company is currently conducting the ONWARD Phase 3 clinical trial for its lead product candidate, AD04, with approximately 290 patients in Scandinavia and Central and Eastern Europe [248]. - The company anticipates completing patient enrollment in the ONWARD pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial in Q2 or Q3 of 2021, but patient enrollment challenges may lead to significant delays [286]. - The company plans to test AD04 in adolescent patients (ages 12-17) as part of the next Phase 3 trial [272]. - The company has limited experience in conducting clinical trials, which may impact the timely completion of planned trials [279]. - The company cannot guarantee that the clinical trial material produced will be approved for use in trials, which could delay the clinical program [274]. - Success in preclinical testing and early clinical trials does not ensure later clinical trials will be successful, which could delay commercialization [281]. - The company must demonstrate safety and efficacy through lengthy and expensive preclinical testing and clinical trials before obtaining regulatory approvals for AD04 and future product candidates [283]. - The FDA may require additional clinical trials for patients negative for the targeted genotypes, potentially delaying approval [270]. - The approval of AD04 is contingent upon the successful development and approval of a companion diagnostic genetic test [275]. - The Phase 3 trials are expected to last 24 weeks, compared to the 12 weeks of the Phase 2b trial [268]. - The FDA has indicated that a satisfactory endpoint for the Phase 3 trial will be the percentage of patients with no heavy drinking days in the last two months of a six-month treatment regimen [269]. Market and Competitive Landscape - The pharmaceutical industry is characterized by rapid technological change and substantial competition, which may impair the company's business [289]. - The company will compete against larger pharmaceutical companies and smaller firms with greater resources and experience in drug development and commercialization [291]. - The success of the product candidates will depend on acceptance by physicians, healthcare payers, and patients, particularly as the products are intended to be used in conjunction with genetic testing [288]. - Market acceptance of AD04 and future product candidates is uncertain, and failure to gain acceptance could significantly harm revenue generation [319]. Financial Risks and Funding - The company currently generates no revenues from its product candidate and may never be able to develop or commercialize a marketable drug [251]. - The company may need to raise additional financing through equity sales, which could have a dilutive effect on existing shareholders [237]. - The company may require additional financing in the future, which could lead to dilution of existing shareholders' equity [408]. - If the common stock is de-listed and trades as a "penny stock," it may face additional regulatory requirements that could limit trading activity and increase transaction costs [410]. - The company may incur substantial costs if its products infringe on the proprietary rights of other parties, which could include obtaining licenses, redesigning products, or paying damages [349].
