FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS: This release contains "forward-looking
statements" as defined under U.S. federal securities laws. These
statements reflect management's current knowledge, assumptions, beliefs,
estimates, and expectations and express management's current views of
future performance, results, and trends and may be identified by their
use of terms such as "anticipate," "believe," "could," "estimate,"
"expect," "intend," "may," "plan," "predict," "project," "will," and
other similar terms. Forward-looking statements are subject to a number
of risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to
materially differ from those described in the forward-looking
statements. Readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking
statements. Such statements are made as of the date hereof, and we
undertake no obligation to update such statements after this date.
Risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to
materially differ from those described in forward-looking statements
include those discussed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (including those described in Item 1A of our Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014) and the following:
-
our determination, based on guidance from the FDA, whether to proceed
with or without a partner with the fully enrolled phase 3 trial of
PV-10 to treat locally advanced cutaneous melanoma and the costs
associated with such a trial if it is necessary to complete (versus
interim data alone);
-
our determination whether to license PV-10, our investigational drug
product for melanoma and other solid tumors such as cancers of the
liver, if such licensure is appropriate considering the timing and
structure of such a license, or to commercialize PV-10 on our own to
treat melanoma and other solid tumors such as cancers of the liver;
-
our ability to license PH-10, our investigational drug product for
dermatology, PH-10, on the basis of our phase 2 atopic dermatitis and
psoriasis results, which are in the process of being further developed
in conjunction with mechanism of action studies; and
-
our ability to raise additional capital if we determine to
commercialize PV-10 and/or PH-10 on our own, although our expectation
is to be acquired by a prospective pharmaceutical or biotech concern
prior to commercialization.
