Forward-Looking Information is Subject to Risk and Uncertainty
This press release contains forward-looking statements based upon
GTx's current expectations. Forward-looking statements involve risks and
uncertainties, and include, but are not limited to, statements relating
to GTx's future development of enobosarm and the potential value thereof.
GTx's actual results and the timing of events could differ materially
from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements as a result of
these risks and uncertainties, which include, without limitation, the
risks (i) that GTx’s two planned Phase 2 clinical trials of enobosarm in
patients with AR positive advanced breast cancer may not be initiated or
completed on schedule, or at all, or may otherwise be suspended or
terminated; (ii) that the development of enobosarm for the treatment of
patients with AR positive advanced breast cancer is at an early stage
and is subject to the significant risk of failure inherent in the
development of early-stage product candidates; (iii) that GTx may not be
able to obtain required regulatory approvals to advance the development
of or commercialize enobosarm in a timely manner or at all; and (iv)
that GTx will continue to need additional funding and may be unable to
raise capital when needed, which would force GTx to delay, reduce or
eliminate its enobosarm development program. GTx’s actual results
and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated
in such forward-looking statements as a result of these risks and
uncertainties. You should not place undue reliance on these
forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this
press release. GTx’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended
