  • Clinical outcomes may differ as patient enrollment continues and as more patient data becomes available
  • Preclinical study results observed will not be borne out in human patients or different conclusions or considerations are reached once additional data have been received and fully evaluated
  • Ability to obtain key regulatory input and approvals
