Product Development and Regulatory Approval - The company is developing two product candidates, WTX-124 and WTX-330, with all other programs in discovery or preclinical stages[224]. - The success of the company's business is highly dependent on obtaining regulatory approval and successfully launching its initial product candidates, WTX-124 and WTX-330[246]. - The company has not previously submitted a Biologics License Application (BLA) or a New Drug Application (NDA) to the FDA, which may impede timely approval for its products[249]. - The regulatory approval process for the company's product candidates is expected to be expensive and uncertain, potentially taking several years[250]. - The company must demonstrate safety and efficacy through extensive clinical trials to obtain regulatory approvals for product candidates[263]. Financial and Operational Risks - The company will need to secure substantial additional funding to finance operations and complete development of its product candidates[229]. - The company faces risks related to its limited operating history and the unproven nature of its product development approach[224]. - The company may encounter unforeseen expenses and complications in achieving its business objectives[225]. - The company has no committed external source of funds, and additional financing may not be available on acceptable terms[235]. - The company is subject to operating covenants under the K2HV Loan Agreement, which could restrict its financial flexibility[237].
