Forward guidance

Crinetics is focused on advancing its pipeline, particularly paltusotine, through key milestones, including Phase 3 trials and Phase 2 trials. The company anticipates PK/PD data from human proof-of-concept studies in the first half of 2021.

Tailwinds

  • Potential for interim data results to be consistent with final results.
  • Potential benefits of paltusotine for acromegaly patients.
  • Potential to initiate a pivotal Phase 3 trial of paltusotine in acromegaly.
  • Planned expansion of the paltusotine development program to include the treatment of patients with NETs.
  • Anticipated timing of topline data for Edge and Evolve and the initiation of proof-of-concept Phase 1 trials and timing of PK/PD data for its other development programs.

Headwinds

  • Interim results of a clinical trial do not necessarily predict final results.
  • Potential delays in the commencement, enrollment and completion of clinical trials and the reporting of data therefrom.
  • Advancement of paltusotine into a Phase 3 trial is dependent on and subject to the receipt of further feedback from the FDA.
  • The COVID-19 pandemic may disrupt Crinetics’ business and that of the third parties on which it depends.
  • Unexpected adverse side effects or inadequate efficacy of the company’s product candidates may limit their development, regulatory approval and/or commercialization.
