A portion of the value attributed to our company by investors is based on the expected commercial success of JOURNAVX for acute pain and on our development programs for both acute and peripheral neuropathic pain. JOURNAVX may not gain or maintain market acceptance among physicians, patients, or payors due to various factors, including the availability of lower-cost alternatives, and sales, marketing, pricing, and/or distribution challenges associated with introducing a product into a highly competitive market. Furthermore, we may not succeed in developing JOURNAVX for additional indications or in advancing other product candidates, including NaV1.8 or NaV1.7 inhibitors, for the treatment of acute or peripheral neuropathic pain. Even if we obtain marketing approvals for these product candidates, they will face significant competition and there can be no assurance of commercial success.
