Innovation and product development · Time to market and commercialization risks
L606 is based on proprietary, novel technology, which has not been used to manufacture any products that have been previously approved by the FDA, making it difficult to predict the time and cost of development and of subsequently obtaining final regulatory approval.
Innovation and product development · Product development and randd investment risks
We may be unable to continually develop a pipeline of product candidates, which could affect our business and prospects. A key element of our long-term strategy is to continually develop a pipeline of product candidates by developing products for the treatment of respiratory and vascular diseases and proprietary innovations to drug products using our PRINT technology.
Market position and competition · Pricing pressure and margin compression
Generic drug prices may, and often do, decline, sometimes dramatically, especially as additional generic pharmaceutical companies (including low-cost generic producers outside of the United States) receive approvals and enter the market for a given product.
Market position and competition · Competitive pressure and market share loss
We face significant competition from large pharmaceutical companies, among others, in developing and commercializing our products and product candidates, and our operating results will suffer if we are unable to compete effectively, including if one or more such products have a superior product profile to YUTREPIA and/or L606.
Customer and revenue · Reimbursement and pricing pressure healthcare or insurance
Sales of Treprostinil Injection are dependent on market acceptance of generic treprostinil for parenteral administration and the medical devices used for administration of Treprostinil Injection, including the ICU Medical infusion pumps, any future pumps that we and/or Sandoz develop, and the RG Cartridge, by patients, health care providers and by third-party payors, while interactions with these persons and entities are subject to compliance requirements.
Strategic execution · Geographic expansion and market entry
Even with approval of YUTREPIA in the United States and even if we obtain marketing approval for our other product candidates in the United States, we or our collaborators may not obtain marketing approval for YUTREPIA or our other product candidates elsewhere.
Innovation and product development · Clinical trial and regulatory approval risks
Our preclinical studies and clinical trials, including clinical trials to support new indications for YUTREPIA and our planned pivotal clinical trial of L606, may not be successful and delays in such preclinical studies or clinical trials may cause our costs to increase and significantly impair our ability to commercialize our product candidates.
Strategic execution · Joint venture and partnership risks
If we are unable to establish licensing and collaboration arrangements with other pharmaceutical companies on acceptable terms, or at all, we may not be able to develop and commercialize additional product candidates using our PRINT technology.
