 our trade secrets will be misappropriated or disclosed.

Because we currently rely on third parties in the course of our business, we may share our proprietary technology and confidential information, including trade secrets, with them. We seek to protect our proprietary technology, in part, by entering into confidentiality agreements, and, if applicable, material transfer agreements, collaborative research agreements, consulting agreements or other similar agreements with our collaborators, advisors, employees and consultants prior to beginning research or disclosing proprietary information. These agreements typically limit the rights of the third parties to use or disclose our confidential information. Despite the contractual provisions employed when working with third parties, the need to share trade secrets and other confidential information increases the risk that such trade secrets become known by our competitors, are intentionally or inadvertently incorporated into the technology of others or are disclosed or used in violation of these agreements. Given that our proprietary position is based, in part, on our know-how and trade secrets and despite our efforts to protect our trade secrets, a competitor’s discovery of our proprietary technology and confidential information or other unauthorized use or disclosure would impair our competitive position and may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

If we engage in future acquisitions or strategic partnerships, this may increase our capital requirements, dilute our stockholders, cause us to incur debt or assume contingent liabilities, and subject us to other risks.

We may periodically explore acquisition opportunities and strategic partnerships, such as licensing or acquiring complementary products, intellectual property, technologies, or businesses. These endeavors carry significant risks, including increased operating expenses and cash needs, assumption of additional debt or liabilities, and the issuance of equity securities. Integrating acquired operations, intellectual property, or personnel may pose challenges, diverting management’s focus from existing programs. Retaining key employees, maintaining critical business relationships, and uncertainties about the other party’s prospects, products, or regulatory approvals present further risks. Additionally, we may fail to generate sufficient revenue from acquired technologies or products to achieve our objectives or offset acquisition and maintenance costs. In addition, if we undertake acquisitions or pursue partnerships in the future, we may issue dilutive securities, assume or incur debt obligations, incur large one-time expenses and acquire intangible assets that could result in significant future amortization expense.

If we decide to establish collaborations, but are not able to establish those collaborations on commercially reasonable terms, we may have to alter our development and commercialization plans.

Our drug development programs and potential commercialization of product candidates require significant additional funding, which may lead us to pursue collaborations to
