Forward guidance

Talphera expects the NEPHRO study to enroll and complete efficiently and anticipates a potential advantage for a timely approval of the product candidate next year.

Tailwinds

  • NEPHRO study should be enrolled and completed efficiently given the measurement of the primary endpoint is at 24 hours, with patients completing the study after 72 hours.
  • Breakthrough Device Designation from the FDA potentially provides an advantage for a timely approval of the product candidate next year.
  • Nafamostat has the potential to address known disadvantages of currently available U.S. products for anticoagulation of the extracorporeal circuit.
  • Nafamostat has been used, as a standard of care, in Japan and South Korea for over 30 years.
  • Finalized clinical trial agreement terms with eight large academic institutions including our potentially highest enrolling sites.

Headwinds

  • Risks relating to Talphera's product development activities, including that clinical studies may not be fully enrolled or completed and/or confirm any safety, efficacy or other potential developmental product characteristics described or assumed in this press release
  • Talphera’s developmental product candidates may not be beneficial to patients or healthcare providers or be successfully commercialized
  • Risks relating to Talphera’s ability to obtain regulatory approvals for its developmental product candidates
  • Risks related to the ability of Talphera and its business partners to implement development plans, commercial launch plans, forecasts and other business expectations
  • Risks related to Talphera's liquidity and its ability to maintain capital resources sufficient to conduct its clinical studies
