Future Outlook and Growth Challenges - The company intends to market its product candidates outside of the U.S., which exposes it to various international business risks, including regulatory compliance and market entry challenges[313]. - The pharmaceutical industry is characterized by rapid technological changes, which could render the company's products obsolete or uncompetitive[315]. - The company may not develop additional proprietary technologies that are patentable, which could impact its competitive position[310]. - The company may experience decreased demand for products, reputational damage, and significant litigation costs due to product liability claims[248]. - Future acquisitions or mergers may disrupt the company’s operations and could lead to dilution of stockholder value[279].
