Forward guidance

ARS Pharma plans to submit its response to the FDA’s CRL early in the second quarter of 2024, with an anticipated FDA action date and launch of neffy, if approved, in the second half of 2024. They also plan to initiate an outpatient urticaria study later in 2024, potentially followed by initiation of a single pivotal efficacy study.

Tailwinds

  • Submission of response to the FDA's CRL for neffy in early Q2 2024
  • Anticipated FDA action date and launch of neffy in the second half of 2024
  • Initiation of outpatient urticaria study later in 2024
  • Potential initiation of a single pivotal efficacy study
  • Belief that it is well capitalized to support the launch of neffy in the U.S.

Headwinds

  • Ability to obtain and maintain regulatory approval for neffy
  • Potential delays or prevention of neffy approval due to new issues identified by the FDA
  • PDUFA target action date may be further delayed due to factors outside ARS Pharma’s control
  • Potential safety and other complications from neffy
  • Uncertainties related to capital requirements
