Substantial additional financing is required, and failure to obtain it could delay or terminate product development and commercialization efforts153 - Business heavily depends on successful development, regulatory approval, and commercialization of early-stage product candidates153 - Public health crises, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, could materially and adversely affect preclinical and clinical trials, business, financial condition, and results of operations153 Risks Related to Our Limited Operating History, Financial Condition and Capital Requirements - The company has incurred significant operating losses since inception, with a net loss of $93.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, and an accumulated deficit of $258.9 million156 - Substantial additional financing is required to fund ongoing R&D, clinical trials, and potential commercialization, with existing capital expected to fund operations into 2024157158 - Decisions on prioritizing product candidates and therapeutic areas may divert resources from more profitable opportunities or those with a higher likelihood of success164166 - Quarterly and annual operating results may fluctuate significantly due to factors like R&D investment, clinical trial timing, manufacturing costs, and regulatory approvals, making future results difficult to predict168 Risks Related to Our Business - The business is heavily dependent on the successful development, regulatory approval, and commercialization of product candidates, which are in early clinical stages and may take many years to achieve170171 - Clinical trials may face substantial delays or termination due to factors such as the COVID-19 pandemic, regulatory disagreements, patient enrollment difficulties, or unforeseen safety issues188192 - Adverse events or undesirable side effects from product candidates could halt clinical development, delay regulatory approval, limit commercial potential, or result in significant negative consequences, including product liability claims200202 - Interim 'top-line' and preliminary data from studies are subject to change as more data become available and may differ from final results, potentially harming business prospects204205 - The company relies on third-party suppliers for manufacturing product candidates and commercial supplies, and their failure to comply with regulations or provide sufficient quantities could materially affect the business234237 - Significant competition exists in the biopharmaceutical industry from companies with greater resources, potentially hindering market penetration and success245 - Failure to obtain or maintain adequate coverage and reimbursement for product candidates, if approved, could limit marketability and revenue generation246248 - The company previously identified and remediated a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting, but future weaknesses could lead to financial misstatements or reporting failures254255 Risks Related to Intellectual Property - Product candidates could infringe third-party patent rights, leading to costly litigation, substantial damages, or limitations on commercialization274 - Inability to obtain, maintain, and enforce intellectual property protection could allow competitors to market similar products, harming the company's competitive position278 - Failure to prevent disclosure of trade secrets or confidential information to third parties could impair the company's competitive position292 - Licenses for third-party intellectual property may be subject to early termination if the company fails to comply with obligations, resulting in loss of material rights293294 -

Inadequate protection of trademarks and trade names could hinder name recognition and adversely affect the business305 - Protecting intellectual property rights globally is expensive and challenging, as foreign laws may not offer the same extent of protection as in the United States306 Risks Related to Government Regulation - Approved products will remain subject to ongoing regulatory scrutiny, including manufacturing, labeling, promotion, and post-marketing study requirements, with non-compliance leading to significant penalties308311 - Disruptions at the FDA and other government agencies, such as funding shortages or global health concerns, could delay product development, approval, or commercialization226227 - Data from clinical trials conducted outside the United States may not be accepted by the FDA or comparable foreign regulatory authorities, requiring additional costly and time-consuming trials229 - Failure to obtain regulatory approval in multiple jurisdictions would limit market opportunities and adversely affect the business231 - If a small molecule product candidate obtains regulatory approval, it may face competition from generic versions sooner than anticipated, leading to a material decline in sales323326 - Business operations and relationships are subject to healthcare regulatory laws (e.g., Anti-Kickback Statute, False Claims Act, HIPAA), with non-compliance potentially leading to significant penalties327328 Risks Related to Our Common Stock - The company's stock price may be highly volatile due to clinical trial results, regulatory announcements, competition, and general market conditions, potentially leading to a decline in stock price329331 - An active, liquid, and orderly market for common stock may not develop or be sustained, impairing the ability to sell shares or raise capital333 - As an 'emerging growth company' and 'smaller reporting company,' reduced disclosure requirements may make the common stock less attractive to investors, potentially increasing stock price volatility334338 - Operating as a public company incurs significant costs and requires substantial management time for compliance, with potential sanctions for failure to comply with rules like Section 404 of Sarbanes-Oxley Act338341 - Future sales of common stock, including through at-the-market offerings, could result in immediate dilution for stockholders and a decline in stock price343 - Principal stockholders and management own a significant percentage of stock, allowing them to exert substantial control over matters subject to stockholder approval345 - The ability to use net operating loss carryforwards and other tax attributes may be limited due to 'ownership changes' under Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code347 - Provisions in charter documents and Delaware law could discourage takeovers and entrench management348350 - The company does not intend to pay dividends on common stock, meaning returns will depend on stock price appreciation357 General Risk Factors - Changes in tax laws and regulations, or their interpretation, may have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition, and results of operations361 - Compliance with U.S. and foreign export/import controls, sanctions, anti-corruption, and anti-money laundering laws is critical, with violations leading to criminal liability and other serious consequences362 -
