Our ability to generate product revenues will be diminished if coverage for our products from commercial or government payors is not provided, is decreased or if patients have unacceptably high out-of-pocket requirements.
The regulatory approval processes in the European Union (EU) and outside North America are lengthy, time consuming and inherently unpredictable, and, if we do not obtain regulatory approval of trofinetide outside North America, we will not be able to market trofinetide outside North America, which w…
Our ability to generate product revenues will be diminished if coverage for our products from commercial or government payors is not provided, is decreased or if patients have unacceptably high out-of-pocket requirements.
Third-party payors, whether governmental or commercial, whether in the U.S. or globally, are developing increasingly sophisticated methods of controlling healthcare costs. The current environment is putting pressure on companies to price products below what they may feel is appropriate. For example,…
by HHS for the Medicare Drug Price Negotiation Program. Based upon the current law, we believe that 2029 is the earliest year NUPLAZID could be subject to a negotiated price, as we expect to apply and qualify for the small biotech exception, which provides an exemption from selection until 2027 (for…

If we do not obtain regulatory approval of trofinetide outside North America, we will not be able to market trofinetide outside North America, which will limit our trofinetide commercial revenues.
Our ability to generate product revenues will be diminished if coverage for our products from commercial or government payors is decreased or if patients have unacceptably high out-of-pocket requirements.
We have a history of net losses and we may not be able to predict the extent of future losses.

In January 2025, we submitted a marketing authorization application for the approval of trofinetide for t…
How to read Risk Factors (Item 1A) in a 10-Q
A 10-Q risk-factor section usually takes one of three forms; this page classifies it as one of:
- Pointer — the filer states there have been no material changes and points back to the annual 10-K risk factors; there is no own risk text to compare this quarter.
- Partial update — the filer carves out specific updated risks ("except as set forth below"); the excerpts show exactly what is new this quarter.
- Restated in full — the quarter carries the complete risk-factor text. When the prior quarter was only a pointer there is no prior full text to diff against, so the page flags the section as restated instead.
This describes the filing structure only — it is never a judgement on whether risk went up or down.
