The patent position is inherently uncertain; patent applications may not issue, or issued patents may be challenged, narrowed, or invalidated, and competitors may design around claims[247](index=247&type=chunk)[248](index=248&type=chunk) - The transition to a 'first-to-file' patent system and other changes from the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act could increase uncertainties and costs in patent prosecution and enforcement[249](index=249&type=chunk) - The company relies on licensors (e.g., Case Western, Janssen, 3D Medicines/Alphamab, I-Mab) to prosecute and maintain material patents, and any failure by them could adversely impact the business[254](index=254&type=chunk)[255](index=255&type=chunk) - Third-party claims of intellectual property infringement or misappropriation could lead to substantial expenses, damages, or force the company to stop or delay development and commercialization efforts[256](index=256&type=chunk)[258](index=258&type=chunk)[259](index=259&type=chunk)[260](index=260&type=chunk) - Confidentiality agreements may not prevent unauthorized disclosure of trade secrets, and enforcing such claims is expensive and unpredictable, potentially impairing competitive position[275](index=275&type=chunk)[276](index=276&type=chunk) - Protecting intellectual property rights globally is expensive and challenging, as foreign laws may offer less protection, potentially allowing competitors to use inventions or export infringing products[271](index=271&type=chunk)[272](index=272&type=chunk) [Risks Related to Commercialization of Product Candidates](index=48&type=section&id=Risks%20Related%20to%20Commercialization%20of%20Product%20Candidates) - Even if approved, product candidates may not gain market acceptance among physicians, patients, hospitals, and payors due to factors like clinical indications, side effects, cost, and reimbursement[277](index=277&type=chunk) - Off-label use of competing drugs (e.g., Keytruda in UPS/MFS) could adversely impact the peak net sales of TRACON's products if approved[278](index=278&type=chunk) - The company faces intense competition from major pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies with greater resources, who may develop more advanced or effective therapies, or achieve earlier regulatory approval[279](index=279&type=chunk)[280](index=280&type=chunk) - The changing regulatory environment for 'biosimilars' could lead to earlier competition for biological products, reducing exclusivity and market share[282](index=282&type=chunk) - Successful sales depend on obtaining coverage and adequate reimbursement from third-party payors, which is a costly and time-consuming process with no assurance of sufficient rates[284](index=284&type=chunk)[285](index=285&type=chunk)[286](index=286&type=chunk)[287](index=287&type=chunk) - Healthcare legislative reforms, such as challenges to the ACA and increased scrutiny over pharmaceutical pricing, could adversely affect the company's business, profitability, and ability to set fair prices[289](index=289&type=chunk)[291](index=291&type=chunk)[292](index=292&type=chunk) - Commercializing products outside the United States involves various risks, including different regulatory requirements, reimbursement regimes, intellectual property protection, economic instability, and foreign currency fluctuations[294](index=294&type=chunk)[295](index=295&type=chunk) [Risks Related to Our Business and Industry](index=52&type=section&id=Risks%20Related%20to%20Our%20Business%20and%20Industry) - The company lacks internal new drug discovery capabilities and relies on acquiring or in-licensing product candidates or entering collaborations, and failure to do so would limit business prospects[297](index=297&type=chunk) - High dependence on senior management and key clinical operations/regulatory personnel means the loss of these individuals could impede product development and business strategy[298](index=298&type=chunk)[299](index=299&type=chunk) - The company is exposed to risks of misconduct or illegal activities by employees, contractors, and partners, which could lead to regulatory sanctions, reputational harm, and significant penalties[300](index=300&type=chunk)[301](index=301&type=chunk) - Managing growth and expanding operations (development, regulatory, manufacturing, marketing, sales) will impose significant responsibilities and challenges, and failure to do so effectively could hinder commercialization[302](index=302&type=chunk) - The company is subject to extensive federal, state, and foreign healthcare regulations (e.g., anti-kickback, false claims, data privacy laws like HIPAA and GDPR), and non-compliance could result in significant penalties and operational disruption[303](index=303&type=chunk)[304](index=304&type=chunk)[305](index=305&type=chunk)[306](index=306&type=chunk)[307](index=307&type=chunk) - The use of product candidates in clinical trials and commercial sales exposes the company to product liability claims, which could result in substantial liability, costs, reputational harm, and commercialization delays, with current insurance potentially insufficient[308](index=308&type=chunk)[309](index=309&type=chunk) - The ability to use net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards and other tax attributes may be limited by 'ownership changes' under Sections 382 and 383 of the Code, potentially impacting future profitability[311](index=311&type=chunk) - Internal computer systems or those of third parties are vulnerable to failures or security breaches, risking service interruption, data loss (clinical trial data, IP, personal information), reputational harm, and increased costs[312](index=312&type=chunk) - The COVID-19 pandemic continues to adversely impact the business, including clinical trials (delays in enrollment, site initiation, monitoring), supply chain disruptions, business development activities, and access to capital[313](index=313&type=chunk)[314](index=314&type=chunk)[316](index=316&type=chunk)[317](index=317&type=chunk)[318](index=318&type=chunk)[319](index=319&type=chunk) [Risks Related to Our Common Stock](index=58&type=section&id=Risks%20Related%20to%20Our%20Common%20Stock) - The market price of the common stock may be highly volatile due to various factors, including clinical trial results, funding, regulatory decisions, competition, and general market conditions, potentially leading to loss of investment[321](index=321&type=chunk)[322](index=322&type=chunk)[323](index=323&type=chunk) - Failure to meet Nasdaq listing requirements could result in delisting, adversely affecting market liquidity and stock price, and making it harder to obtain financing[324](index=324&type=chunk)[325](index=325&type=chunk)[326](index=326&type=chunk) - As an 'emerging growth company,' reduced reporting requirements may make the common stock less attractive to investors, potentially leading to a less active trading market and more volatile stock price[327](index=327&type=chunk)[328](index=328&type=chunk) - Future sales and issuances of common stock or rights to purchase common stock, including under equity incentive plans, could result in additional dilution of existing stockholders' ownership and cause the stock price to fall[332](index=332&type=chunk) - The company does not intend to pay dividends on its common stock, so any returns will be limited to the appreciation of the stock's value[334](index=334&type=chunk) - Provisions in the company's charter documents and Delaware law may have anti-takeover effects, making it more difficult or costly for a third party to acquire the company, even if beneficial to stockholders[335](index=335&type=chunk)[336](index=336&type=chunk) [Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds](index=60&type=section&id=Item%202.%20Unregistered%20Sales%20of%20Equity%20Securities%20and%20Use%20of%20Proceeds) This section reports the issuance of common stock to a consultant in March 2020, exempt from Securities Act registration - On **March 24, 2020**, the company issued **100,000 shares** of common stock to a consultant, valued at **$126,000** (**$1.26 per share**)[339](index=339&type=chunk) - These securities were issued in reliance on exemptions from registration provided by Section **4(2)** of the Securities Act and/or Rule **506** of Regulation D[339](index=339&type=chunk) [Item 3.
