reasonable terms, which could adversely affect and/or delay the development or commercialization of any such future product candidate we may develop.

We may seek Fast Track designations from the FDA for our product candidates. Even if one or more of our product candidates receive Fast Track designation, we may not lead to a faster development or review process, or we may be unable to maintain or effectively utilize such a designation. 

We may seek Fast Track designation for our product candidates, and we may not be successful in securing such additional designation or in expediting development if such designations were received. Even if we receive Fast Track designation for product candidates, the FDA may withdraw such Fast Track designation if it believes that the Fast Track designation is no longer supported by data from our clinical development program.

Fast Track designation is designed to facilitate the development and expedite the review of therapies intended for the treatment of a serious or life-threatening condition which demonstrate the potential to address unmet medical needs for the condition. Programs with Fast Track designation may benefit from early and frequent communications with the FDA, potential priority review and the ability to submit a rolling application for regulatory review. Fast Track designation applies to both the product candidate and the specific indication for which it is being studied. If any product candidates that we may develop in the future that receives Fast Track designation does not continue to meet the criteria for Fast Track designation, or if our clinical trials are delayed, suspended or terminated, or put on clinical hold due to unexpected adverse events or issues with clinical supply, we will not receive the benefits associated with the Fast Track program. The FDA may withdraw any Fast Track Designation at any time. Furthermore, Fast Track designation does not change the standards for approval. Fast Track designation alone does not guarantee qualification for the FDA’s priority review procedures and we may not experience a faster development process, review or approval compared to conventional FDA procedures.

Breakthrough Therapy designation is for a product candidate that is intended, alone or in combination with one or more other drugs or biologics, to treat a serious or life-threatening disease or condition and preliminary clinical evidence indicates that the product candidate may demonstrate substantial improvement over existing therapies on one or more clinically significant endpoints, such as substantial treatment effects observed early in clinical development.
