Regulatory Environment - The FDA regulates the drug development process, which requires substantial time and financial resources, and non-compliance can lead to severe sanctions[69]. - The company must submit preclinical test results and other data to the FDA as part of the IND process, which becomes effective 30 days after submission unless a clinical hold is imposed[71]. - The FDA has a 10-month review period for standard New Drug Applications (NDAs) and a 6-month period for priority NDAs, although these timelines may be extended if additional information is required[78]. - The company must submit annual progress reports and IND safety reports to the FDA for any serious adverse events during clinical trials[74]. - The company is subject to ongoing FDA regulation post-approval, including record-keeping and reporting of adverse experiences[91]. - The company must ensure compliance with FDA regulations regarding advertising and promotion, particularly concerning off-label uses of approved drugs[91]. - The company is subject to various regulations governing clinical trials and commercial sales in different jurisdictions, impacting product development timelines[117]. Market and Competition - The biotechnology industry is characterized by intense competition, with potential competitors having greater financial resources and expertise in research and development[63]. - The company faces significant competition for talent in the life sciences field, which may affect its ability to attract and retain employees[124]. - The biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries are highly competitive, with established companies having greater financial and technical resources, which could adversely affect the company's operating results[209]. - The company's ability to compete will depend on its experience in drug discovery and development, as well as the acceptance of its product candidates by the medical community[212]. - The commercial success of product candidates is contingent upon demonstrating clinical safety and efficacy compared to existing products[212]. Collaboration and Partnerships - The collaboration with Sanofi was terminated in January 2023, which included the only product candidate advanced into the clinic, lademirsen[33]. - The company relies on third-party collaborations for the development and commercialization of certain microRNA product candidates, which may limit control over development processes[178]. - Collaborations with third parties for marketing and sales are essential, especially in markets outside the United States, to mitigate resource limitations[215]. Compliance and Legal Risks - The company is subject to increased civil and criminal penalties under HIPAA and HITECH for violations related to the privacy and security of health information[102]. - The company may face significant civil and criminal penalties for violations of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which prohibits bribery of foreign officials[97]. - The company must report annually to CMS information related to payments or transfers of value made to healthcare professionals under the Physician Payments Sunshine Act[104]. - The company could be adversely affected by challenges under federal and state healthcare laws, which may result in penalties and reputational harm[101]. - The company anticipates potential expansion into the EU and UK, which would subject it to GDPR and UK GDPR regulations[103]. - The company may face increased compliance costs and legal risks due to various state privacy laws, such as the California Consumer Privacy Act[103]. - The company is affected by ongoing healthcare reform initiatives that seek to reduce healthcare costs, which could impact future operations[107]. Manufacturing and Supply Chain - The company contracts with third parties for manufacturing and does not own or operate its own manufacturing facilities[61]. - The company relies on third-party manufacturers to produce clinical and commercial quantities of its products, which must comply with FDA's current good manufacturing practices (cGMP)[92]. - The company is dependent on third-party manufacturers for producing clinical supplies, and any disruptions in the supply chain could delay product development and commercialization[183]. - Limited sources of supply for drug substances may cause delays in developing and commercializing product candidates if disruptions occur[184]. - Manufacturing issues may increase product and regulatory approval costs or delay commercialization[188].
