Q1 2024

Forward guidance

Disc Medicine anticipates several milestones and data releases in the near future, while also acknowledging the inherent risks and uncertainties in drug development and clinical trials.

Tailwinds

  • Additional analyses from the AURORA and BEACON trials to be presented in Q2 2024.
  • Updated phase 1b/2 data from DISC-0974 in anemia in MF patients will be presented in Q2 2024.
  • Initial pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic data from SAD cohorts expected to be presented in Q2 2024.
  • Regulatory interactions to define optimal registrational endpoints moving forward in EPP expected to occur in the second half of 2024.
  • Cash and cash equivalents are expected to fund operational plans well into 2026.

Headwinds

  • The adequacy of Disc’s capital to support its future operations and its ability to successfully initiate and complete clinical trials.
  • The difficulty in predicting the time and cost of development of Disc’s product candidates.
  • The risk that the results of Disc’s clinical trials may not be predictive of future results in connection with future studies or clinical trials and may not support further development and marketing approval.
  • Enrollment timelines of both the BEACON and AURORA studies may not necessarily be predictive of future enrollment timelines.
  • New risks and uncertainties may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible to predict all risks and uncertainties.
