Summary of the Material Risks Associated with Our Business

 

Our business is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties that you should be aware of in evaluating our business. These risks include, but are not limited to, the following:

 

 

We have incurred net losses since inception. We expect to incur net losses for the foreseeable future and may never achieve or maintain profitability.

 

We will need additional funding, which may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all. Failure to obtain this necessary capital when needed may force us to delay, limit or terminate our product development efforts or other operations.

 

Our gene therapy product candidates are based on a novel technology, which makes it difficult to predict the time and cost of product candidate development and of subsequently obtaining regulatory approval.

 

The results from our clinical trials for OTL-200 for metachromatic leukodystrophy, or MLD, OTL-103 for Wiskott Aldrich syndrome, or WAS, and for any of our other product candidates may not be sufficiently robust to support marketing approval or the submission of marketing approval. Before we submit our product candidates for marketing approval, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, and/or the European Medicines Agency, or EMA, may require us to conduct additional clinical trials or evaluate patients for an additional follow-up period.

 

Interim data and ad hoc analyses are preliminary in nature. Success in preclinical studies or early clinical trials may not be indicative of results obtained in later trials.

 

Gene therapies are novel, complex and difficult to manufacture. We have limited manufacturing experience and we rely on third party manufacturers that are often our single source of supply. We could experience manufacturing problems that result in delays in the development or commercialization of our commercial products or our product candidates or otherwise harm our business.

 

Libmeldy™, Strimvelis® and our product candidates and the process for administering Libmeldy, Strimvelis and our product candidates may cause serious or undesirable side effects or adverse events or have other properties that could delay or prevent regulatory approval, limit commercial potential or result in significant negative consequences for our company.

 

We may find it difficult to enroll patients in our clinical trials, which could delay or prevent us from proceeding with clinical trials of our product candidates.

 

If we are unable to establish effective sales and marketing capabilities or enter into agreements with third parties to market, sell and gain reimbursement for Libmeldy and our product candidates that may be approved, we may not be successful in commercializing Libmeldy or our product candidates if and when approved, and we may be unable to generate product revenue.

 

If the size and value of the market opportunities for our commercial products or product candidates are smaller than our estimates, or if we have difficulty in finding patients that meet eligibility requirements for Libmeldy, Strimvelis or any of our product candidates, if approved, our product revenues may be adversely affected and our business may suffer.

 

We face significant competition in our industry and there can be no assurance that our commercial products or our product candidates, if approved, will achieve acceptance in the market over existing established therapies. In addition, our competitors may develop therapies that are more advanced or effective than ours, which may adversely affect our ability to successfully market or commercialize any of our product candidates.

 

Business interruptions resulting from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic or similar public health crises have caused and may continue to cause a disruption to the development of our product candidates and adversely impact our business.

 

We may not be able to protect our intellectual property rights throughout the world.

 

We may become subject to claims that we are infringing certain third-party patents, for example, patents relating to lentiviral vectors, or other third-party intellectual property rights, any of which may prevent or delay our development and commercialization efforts and have a material adverse effect on our business.

 

We have entered into collaborations with third parties to develop or commercialize product candidates and we may continue to do so in the future. If these collaborations are not successful, our business could be adversely affected.

 

The market price of our ADSs may be highly volatile and may fluctuate due to factors beyond our control.

The summary risk factors described above should be read together with the text of the full risk factors below, in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1.A. and the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2021, as well as in other documents that we file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The risks summarized above or described in full below are not the only risks that we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not precisely known to us, or that we currently deem to be immaterial may also materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and future growth prospects.

In some cases, forward-looking statements may be identified by the words “may,” “might,” “will,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “objective,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” “continue,” “ongoing,” or the negative of these terms, or other comparable terminology intended to identify statements about the future. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from the information expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements and opinions contained in this 10-Q are based upon information available to our management as of the date of this 10-Q, and while we believe such information forms a reasonable basis for such statements, such information may be limited or incomplete, and our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all potentially available relevant information. Forward-looking statements contained in this 10-Q include, but are not limited to, statements about:

 

the timing, progress and results of clinical trials and preclinical studies for our programs and product candidates, including statements regarding the timing of initiation and completion of trials or studies and related preparatory work, the period during which the results of the trials will become available and our research and development programs;

 

the timing, scope or likelihood of regulatory submissions, filings, and approvals;

 

our ability to develop and advance product candidates into, and successfully complete, clinical trials;

 

our expectations regarding the market opportunity for and size of the patient populations for Libmeldy (OTL-200) and our product candidates, if approved for commercial use;

 

the implementation of our business model and our strategic plans for our business, commercial products, product candidates and technology;

 

our plans and ability to build out our commercial infrastructure and successfully identify eligible patients, launch, market, and sell Libmeldy in Europe and any current and future product candidates for which we receive marketing approval;

 

our commercialization, marketing and manufacturing capabilities and strategy;

 

the pricing and reimbursement of Libmeldy, Strimvelis, and any of our product candidates, if approved, including reimbursement for patients treated in a country where they are not resident;

 

the adequacy, scalability and commercial viability of our manufacturing capacity, methods and processes, including those of our manufacturing partners, and plans for future development;

 

the rate and degree of market acceptance and clinical utility of our commercial products and product candidates, in particular, and gene therapy, in general;

 

our ability to establish or maintain collaborations or strategic relationships or obtain additional funding;

 

the impact of the COVID-19 global pandemic on our business operations, including clinical trials, regulatory strategy, and the operations of our third-party manufacturers, suppliers, and partners;

 

our competitive position;

 

the scope of protection we and/or our licensors are able to establish and maintain for intellectual property rights covering our commercial products and product candidates;

 

developments and projections relating to our competitors and our industry;

 

our estimates regarding expenses, future revenue, capital requirements and needs for additional financing;

 

the impact of laws and regulations;

 

our ability to attract and retain qualified employees and key personnel;

 

our ability to contract with third party suppliers, clinical sites and manufacturers and their ability to perform adequately;

 

our projected financial condition, including the sufficiency of our cash, cash equivalents and investments to fund operations in future periods and future liquidity, working capital and capital requirements; and

 

other risks and uncertainties, including those listed under the caption “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in this 10-Q.  

iv


 

You should refer to the section titled “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in this 10-Q for a discussion of important factors that may cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by our forward-looking statements. As a result of these factors, we cannot be assured that the forward-looking statements in this 10-Q will prove to be accurate. Furthermore, if our forward-looking statements prove to be inaccurate, the inaccuracy may be material. In light of the significant uncertainties in these forward-looking statements, these statements should not be regarded as a representation or warranty by us or any other person that we will achieve our objectives and plans in any specified time frame, or at all. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

You should read this 10-Q and the documents that we reference in this 10-Q and have filed as exhibits to this 10-Q completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements.
