Our forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are subject to a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those described or implied in the forward-looking statements, including:
•the progress, timing or success of our research and development and clinical programs for our product candidates;
•our ability to conduct the development work necessary to finalize the formulation and design of our dual-chamber glucagon rescue product candidate, as well as the preclinical studies, clinical trials and manufacturing activities necessary to support the filing of a new drug application, or NDA, to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, for that product candidate;
•our ability to engage a strategic partner in the further development of our prandial ultra-rapid-acting insulin formulations, including BIOD-123, which uses regular human insulin, or RHI, as the active pharmaceutical ingredient, and our insulin analog-based formulations ;
•the success of our formulation development work to improve the stability of our newer ultra-rapid-acting insulin analog-based formulations while maintaining the pharmacokinetic and injection site toleration characteristics associated with earlier formulations;
•the results of our real-time stability programs for our RHI-, insulin analog- and glucagon-based product candidates, including the reproducibility of earlier, smaller scale, stability studies and our ability to accurately project long term stability on the basis of accelerated testing;
•our ability to accurately anticipate technical challenges that we may face in the development of our ultra-rapid-acting RHI- and insulin analog-based product candidates or our glucagon rescue product candidates;
•our ability to secure approval by the FDA for our product candidates under Section 505(b)(2) of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, or FFDCA;
•our ability to enter into collaboration arrangements for the commercialization of our product candidates and the success or failure of any such collaborations into which we enter, or our ability to commercialize our product candidates ourselves;
•our ability to enforce our patents for our product candidates and our ability to secure additional patents for our product candidates;
•our ability to protect our intellectual property and operate our business without infringing upon the intellectual property rights of others;
•the degree of clinical utility of our product candidates, particularly with regard to our ultra-rapid-acting insulin formulations, which have not yet been shown to be clinically superior to existing rapid-acting insulin analogs;
•the emergence of competing technologies and products and other adverse market developments, such as advancements in glucagon stabilization technologies that could enable a room-temperature rescue product in a portable, easy to use presentation;
•the ability of our contract manufacturing organizations or collaborators to produce our products in our final dosage form;
•our ability to secure adequate supplies of active pharmaceutical ingredients to support our product development programs and, if successful, the commercialization one or more product candidates;
•our capabilities and strategies for manufacturing, marketing and commercializing a product candidate; and
•our ability to accurately estimate anticipated operating losses, future revenues, capital requirements and our needs for additional financing.
