Current report
The rules dealing with U.S. federal, state, local and international income taxation are constantly under review by persons involved in the legislative process and by the Internal Revenue Service and the U.S. Treasury Department. For example, the OBBBA was signed into law on July 4, 2025 and made significant changes to the U.S. federal tax law. Changes to tax laws (which changes may have retroactive application) could adversely affect us or holders of our common stock. For example, under Section 174 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the IRC, in taxable years beginning after December 31, 2021, expenses that are incurred for research and development performed outside the U.S. will be capitalized and amortized, which may have an adverse effect on our cash flow. The OBBBA provides that for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2024, expenses that are incurred for research and development performed in the U.S. may, at the taxpayer’s election, be immediately deducted or capitalized and amortized. In addition, the OBBBA provides that for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2021 and before January 1, 2025, certain eligible taxpayers generally may elect to retroactively deduct expenses for research and development performed in the U.S. in such taxable years by filing amended tax returns for such taxable years, and all other taxpayers that are not eligible to make such an election and that amortized expenses for research and development performed in the U.S. in such taxable years generally may elect to accelerate and deduct the remaining unamortized amounts of such research and development expenses (i) in the first taxable year beginning after December 31, 2024, or (ii) ratably over the two-taxable year period beginning with the first taxable year beginning after December 31, 2024. In recent years, many changes to tax laws have been made and changes are likely to continue to occur in the future. The OBBBA also makes significant changes to the Medicaid, Medicare, and Health Insurance Marketplace federal healthcare programs. Changes include new requirements states must meet to maintain federal support for the Medicaid programs, as well as stricter criteria beneficiaries must meet to qualify for and maintain enrollment in federal healthcare programs. The effect of these changes could result in reductions in our patient population and managed care enrollees that we serve across our federal healthcare program lines of business due to, among other things, more stringent eligibility requirements such as the imposition of work or community service requirements, and copayments on many services, limitation of Medicaid eligibility to certain lawfully present individuals, and the effect of immigration enforcement actions which may discourage beneficiaries from applying or reapplying for federal healthcare benefits. These risks could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
Current report
In addition, Medicaid provider tax reform has been targeted by the current administration to reduce federal Medicaid spending, including restricting states from using provider taxes to help finance coverage of undocumented immigrants and cutting provider taxes and capping state-directed payments.
Current report
Furthermore, even if we do receive regulatory approval for our current or any of our future product candidates, any such approval may be subject to limitations on the indications or uses or the patient populations for which we may market the product. For example, our Phase 3 avexitide trial is in PBH following RYGB surgery, and the FDA may require that we provide additional clinical data to support an indication beyond PBH following RYGB surgery. Additionally, it is unknown whether disruptions and personnel turnover at the FDA, as a result of leadership changes, staff reductions or otherwise, may contribute to uncertainty in the regulatory approval process.
Current report
There remains general uncertainty regarding future activities involving the Trump administration. The Trump administration could issue or promulgate executive orders, regulations, policies or guidance that adversely affect us or create a more challenging or costly environment to pursue the development of new therapeutic products. Alternatively, state governments may attempt to address or react to changes at the federal level with changes to their own regulatory frameworks in a manner that is adverse to our operations. If we become negatively impacted by future governmental orders, regulations, policies or guidance as a result of the Trump administration, there could be a material adverse effect on us and our business.
Current report
Under current law, after September 30, 2029, the FDA may not award any rare pediatric disease priority review vouchers, although the FDA’s authority to do so could be extended by Congress in the future.
Current report
In addition, at the state level, legislatures have increasingly passed legislation and implemented regulations similar to those under consideration at the federal level, as well as laws designed to control pharmaceutical and biotherapeutic product pricing, including restrictions on pricing or reimbursement at the state government level, limitations on discounts to patients, marketing cost disclosure and transparency measures, restrictions or other limitations on patient assistance, and, in some cases, policies to encourage importation from other countries (subject to federal approval) and bulk purchasing. Certain states are also pursuing cost containment efforts through Prescription Drug Affordability Boards, or PDABs, and similar entities.
Current report
Additionally, in its June 2024 decision in Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo, or Loper Bright, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the longstanding Chevron doctrine, under which courts were required to give deference to regulatory agencies’ reasonable interpretations of ambiguous federal statutes. The Loper Bright decision could result in additional legal challenges to current regulations and guidance issued by federal agencies applicable to our operations, including those issued by the FDA. Congress may introduce and ultimately pass health care related legislation that could, among others, impact the drug approval process, modify the Medicare Drug Price Negotiation Program, expand the orphan drug exclusion in the IRA, and reduce Medicaid enrollment and funding. Any reduction in reimbursement from Medicare or other government-funded programs may result in a similar reduction in payments from private payors. The implementation of current and future cost containment measures or other healthcare reforms may adversely affect our operations and prevent us from being able to generate revenue, attain profitability or commercialize our product candidates.

Our use of new and evolving technologies, including artificial intelligence, presents risks and challenges that can impact our business including by posing cybersecurity and other risks to our confidential information, proprietary information, and personal data.
Current report
We may use and integrate artificial intelligence, or AI, into our business processes both in our own development and implementation of AI and through the adoption of commercially available tools. Use of this technology could pose cybersecurity, data privacy, IT, intellectual property, regulatory, legal, operational, competitive, reputational and other risks and challenges that could affect our business. Specifically, risks related to accuracy, bias, artificial intelligence hallucinations, discrimination, harmful content, misinformation, fraud, scams, targeted attacks (including model poisoning or data poisoning), surveillance, data leakage, inequality, environmental harms, and other harms may flow from our development, use, or deployment of AI technologies. If we enable or use solutions that draw controversy due to perceived or actual negative societal impact, we may experience brand or reputational harm, competitive harm or legal liability.
Current report
The rapid evolution of AI will require the application of significant resources to design, develop, test and maintain such systems to help ensure that AI is implemented in accordance with applicable law and regulation and in a socially responsible manner and to minimize any real or perceived unintended harmful impacts. The use of certain AI technologies can also give rise to intellectual property risks, including by disclosing or otherwise compromising our confidential or proprietary intellectual property, or by undermining our ability to assert or defend ownership rights in intellectual property created with the assistance of AI tools.
Current report
A growing number of legislators and regulators are adopting laws and regulations and have focused enforcement efforts on the adoption and use of AI technologies in compliance with ethical standards and societal expectations. These developments may increase our compliance burden and costs in connection with use of AI and lead to legal liability if we fail to meet evolving legal standards or if use of such technologies results in harms or other causes of action we did not predict. For example, Europe began implementing its EU Artificial Intelligence Act, or the AI Act, on August 1, 2024, with a significant part of the law scheduled to come into effect in August 2026. As currently enacted, the AI Act, which may be amended as part of the EU’s Digital Omnibus, imposes significant obligations on providers and deployers of AI systems, particularly those considered as “high risk,” and encourages providers and deployers of AI systems to account for EU ethical principles in their development and use of these systems. The scope of requirements depends on legal and risk determinations that rely on novel legal provisions that have not yet been interpreted by courts or regulators, and non-compliance can lead to significant fines.
Current report
In the U.S., the AI regulatory environment is complex and uncertain. Over the past year, states have advanced, and in some cases passed, dozens of laws focusing on AI governance and regulation, including on deployment of AI in healthcare settings. At the federal level, the Trump Administration has endorsed a federal moratorium on the enforcement of state AI laws, including through a December 11, 2025, executive order on “Ensuring a National Policy Framework for Artificial Intelligence.” So far, these efforts have not been successful at curtailing state action on AI regulation, contributing to a complicated legislative patchwork, which may be litigated in state and federal courts. In addition, various federal regulators have issued guidance and focused enforcement efforts on the use of AI in regulated sectors. The FDA, for example, issued draft guidance on the use of AI in regulatory decision-making for drug and biological products that centers on the context of use while establishing a credibility assessment framework for establishing and evaluating AI model outputs intended to support regulatory decision-making. If we develop or use AI systems governed by these laws or regulations, we will need to meet various standards of data quality, transparency, monitoring and human oversight, and we would need to adhere to specific and potentially burdensome and costly ethical, accountability, and administrative requirements, with the potential for significant enforcement or litigation in the event of any perceived non-compliance.
Current report
Our vendors may incorporate AI tools into their offerings, and the providers of these AI tools may not meet existing or rapidly evolving regulatory or industry standards, including with respect to privacy and data protection. Further, bad actors around the world use sophisticated methods, including the use of AI, to engage in illegal activities involving the theft and misuse of personal information, confidential information, and intellectual property. In addition, the use of generative AI models in our internal or third-party systems may create new attack surfaces or methods for adversaries, which could impact us and our vendor. If we, our vendors, or our third-party partners experience an actual or perceived breach or privacy or security incident because of the use of AI tools, we may lose valuable intellectual property and confidential information and our reputation and the public perception of the effectiveness of our security measures could be harmed. Any of these outcomes could result in the loss of valuable property and information, and adversely impact our business.
Current report
Disruptions at the FDA and other federal agencies, including substantial leadership departures, personnel cuts, and policy changes, may also slow the time necessary for new drugs to be reviewed and/or approved, which would harm our business. Changes and cuts in FDA staffing have been reported by some within the pharmaceutical industry as creating instances of delays in the FDA’s responsiveness or in its ability to review IND submissions or applications, issue regulations or guidance, or implement or enforce regulatory requirements in a timely fashion or at all.
Current report
There have been evolving regulatory activities and policy changes, and there continues to be uncertainty as to whether and how the Trump administration will continue to modify or revise the requirements and policies of the FDA and other regulatory agencies with jurisdiction over our product candidates and any products for which we obtain approval. This uncertainty could continue to present new challenges and/or opportunities as we navigate development and approval of our product candidates. Additionally, the current U.S. government could continue to issue or promulgate executive orders, regulations, policies or guidance that adversely affect us or create a more challenging or costly environment to pursue the development of new therapeutic candidates.
Current report
There have been, and may continue to be, significant changes to U.S. trade policies, sanctions, legislation, treaties and tariffs, including, but not limited to, trade policies and tariffs affecting products from outside of the U.S. The extent and duration of increased tariffs and the resulting impact on general economic conditions and on our business are uncertain and depend on various factors, such as negotiations between the U.S. and affected countries, the responses of other countries or regions, exemptions or exclusions that may be granted, availability and cost of alternative sources of supply, and demand in affected markets. Supply chain disruptions and delays as a result of any new tariff policies or trade restrictions could also negatively impact our cost of materials and production processes. If we are unable to obtain these chemical or biological intermediates in sufficient quantity and in a timely manner due to disruptions in the global supply chain caused by macroeconomic events and conditions, the development, testing and clinical trials of avexitide, AMX0035, AMX0114, AMX0318 or any other current or future product candidates may be delayed or infeasible, and regulatory approval or commercial launch of any resulting product may be delayed or not obtained, which could significantly harm our business.
Current report
In addition, based on the market value of our common stock that was held by non-affiliates as of June 30, 2025, we are a non-accelerated filer in fiscal year 2026. For as long as we continue to be a non-accelerated filer, we may choose to take advantage of not being required to have our independent registered public accounting firm audit our internal control over financial reporting under Section 404(b) of SOX. Pursuant to Section 404(a) of SOX, we are required to furnish a report by our management on our internal control over financial reporting. However, beginning with this Annual Report and while we remain a non-accelerated filer, we will not be required to include an attestation report issued by our independent registered public accounting firm on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.

Previous report
The authority for the FDA to award rare pediatric disease priority review vouchers for drugs and biologics is currently limited to those candidates that receive rare pediatric disease designation on or prior to December 20, 2024, and the FDA may only award rare pediatric disease priority review vouchers through September 30, 2026. However, it is possible the FDA’s authority to award rare pediatric disease priority review vouchers will be further extended by Congress as reauthorization legislation is currently pending. Absent any such extension, if an NDA for avexitide is not approved prior to September 30, 2026 for any reason, regardless of whether it meets the criteria for a rare pediatric disease priority review voucher, it will not be eligible for a priority review voucher.
Previous report
Our Restructuring Plan and associated organizational changes may not adequately reduce our operating costs or improve operating margins, may lead to additional workforce attrition, and may cause operational disruptions.
Previous report
We implemented a restructuring plan, or the Restructuring Plan, designed to focus our resources on key clinical and preclinical programs in April 2024. The Restructuring Plan reduced our workforce by approximately 70% and decreased external financial commitments outside of our priority areas.
Previous report
The long-term effects of the Restructuring Plan may yield unintended consequences and costs, such as the loss of institutional knowledge and expertise, employee attrition beyond our intended reduction in force, a reduction in morale among our remaining employees, greater-than-anticipated costs incurred in connection with implementing the Restructuring Plan, and the risk that we may not achieve the benefits from the Restructuring Plan to the extent or as quickly as we anticipate, all of which may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. These restructuring initiatives could place substantial demands on our management and employees, which could lead to the diversion of our management’s and employees’ attention from other business priorities. In addition, while certain positions have been eliminated in connection with the Restructuring Plan, certain functions necessary to our reduced operations remain, and we may be unsuccessful in distributing the duties and obligations of departed employees among our remaining employees or to external service providers, which could result in disruptions to our operations. We may also discover that the workforce reduction and other restructuring efforts will make it difficult for us to pursue new opportunities and initiatives and require us to hire qualified replacement personnel, which may require us to incur additional and unanticipated costs and expenses. We may further discover that, despite the implementation of our Restructuring Plan, we may require additional capital to continue expanding our business, and we may be unable to obtain such capital on acceptable terms, if at all. Our failure to successfully accomplish any of the above activities and goals may have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Finally, we have received and may receive additional lawsuits from employees relating to their separation from the Company. These lawsuits may result in increased costs and reputational risk to the Company.

Previous wording
Investment in biopharmaceutical product development is highly speculative because it entails substantial upfront capital expenditures and significant risk that any potential product candidate will fail to demonstrate adequate effect or an acceptable safety profile, gain regulatory approval and become commercially viable. We invested substantial resources into our product development efforts of AMX0035, and toward the commercialization of AMX0035 as RELYVRIO for ALS, which was approved by the FDA, and ALBRIOZA and, received marketing authorization with conditions from Health Canada. We voluntarily discontinued the marketing authorizations for RELYVRIO/ALBRIOZA for ALS and removed the product from the market in the U.S. and Canada based on topline results from the Phase 3 PHOENIX trial, which failed to meet its prespecified primary and secondary endpoints. Following the withdrawal of RELYVRIO/ALBRIOZA from the market in the US and Canada, respectively, we do not have any products approved for commercial sale and we will continue to incur significant research and development and other expenses related to clinical development and potential approvals for our current and future product candidates, including for avexitide, AMX0035 in additional indications other than ALS, and for ongoing operations. Since our inception, we have devoted the majority of our financial resources and efforts to research and development, including preclinical studies and our clinical trials, preparation for commercialization and commercialization activities. Our financial condition and operating results, including our revenues, expenses and net income (loss), have in the past and are likely in the future to fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter and year to year. For example, we generated revenues of $380.8 million in 2023 as a result of sales of RELYVRIO/ALBRIOZA, but following its withdrawal, we will no longer generate revenues from this product. Accordingly, you should not rely upon the results of any prior quarterly or annual periods as indications of future operating performance. Additionally, net losses and negative cash flows have had, and may in the future have, an adverse effect on our stockholders’ equity and working capital. As of December 31, 2024, we had an accumulated deficit of $606.7 million.

Our ability to once again become and remain profitable depends on our ability to generate revenue. While we have a limited history of generating revenue from the commercialization of RELYVRIO/ALBRIOZA, we do not expect to generate additional significant revenue, if any, unless and until we, either alone or with a collaborator, are able to obtain regulatory approval for, and successfully commercialize, avexitide, AMX0035 for indications other than ALS or any other current or future product candidates or products we may develop or in-license. Successful commercialization will require achievement of many key milestones, which vary by jurisdiction and may include demonstrating safety and efficacy in clinical trials, obtaining regulatory, including marketing, approval for these product candidates, manufacturing, marketing and selling those products for which we, or any of our future collaborators, may obtain regulatory approval, satisfying any post-marketing requirements and obtaining reimbursement for our products from private insurance or government payors. Because of the uncertainties and risks associated with these activities, we are unable to accurately and precisely predict the timing and amount of revenues, if any, the extent of any further losses or if or when we might achieve profitability. We and any future collaborators may never succeed in these activities and, even if we do, or any future collaborators do, we may never generate revenues that are large enough for us to achieve profitability. Even if we do achieve profitability, we may not be able to sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis.

Our operations have consumed substantial amounts of cash since inception. We expect to spend substantial amounts to continue the clinical development of avexitide, the clinical development of AMX0035 in indications other than ALS, and for the preclinical and clinical development of additional product candidates, or in the in-license, acquisition or development of other product candidates or products. If we are unable to obtain additional marketing approvals for avexitide, AMX0035, or for any other current or future product candidates that we develop, in-license or acquire, we may require significant additional amounts of cash in order to continue to develop avexitide, AMX0035 and any other current or future product candidates and fund our operations. In addition, other unanticipated costs may arise in the course of our development efforts. Because the design and outcome of our ongoing and anticipated clinical trials is highly uncertain, we cannot reasonably estimate the actual amounts necessary to successfully complete the development and commercialization of any product candidate we develop.

We cannot be certain that additional funding will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. As a result of the challenges caused by economic uncertainty in various global markets due to geopolitical instability and conflict, including the ongoing wars in Ukraine and Israel, the conflict in the Middle East, a new U.S. presidential administration and accompanying regulatory activities and economic policies, the global credit and financial markets have experienced in recent periods significant volatility and disruptions, including diminished liquidity and credit availability, declines in consumer confidence, changes to rates of inflation and interest rates and uncertainty about economic and global stability. If the equity and credit markets deteriorate, it may make any necessary debt or equity financing more difficult, more costly or more dilutive.

We have no committed source of additional capital and if we are unable to raise additional capital or secure other financing, if needed, in sufficient amounts or on terms acceptable to us, we may have to significantly delay, scale back or discontinue the development of avexitide, AMX0035 or any other current or future product candidates or other research and development initiatives. We may need to seek collaborators for avexitide, AMX0035 and any other current or future product candidates at an earlier stage than otherwise would be desirable or on terms that are less favorable than might otherwise be available or relinquish or license on unfavorable terms our rights to avexitide, AMX0035 and any other current or future product candidates in markets where we otherwise would seek to pursue development or commercialization ourselves. Any of the above events could significantly harm our business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations and cause the price of our common stock to decline.

We believe our existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of December 31, 2024, along with the proceeds from the January follow-on 2025 offering ("January 2025 Offering"), will be sufficient to meet our anticipated operating and capital expenditure requirements through 2026. However, our estimate may prove to be wrong, and we could use our available capital resources sooner than we currently expect. Further, changing circumstances, some of which may be beyond our control, could cause us to consume capital significantly faster than we currently anticipate, and we may need to seek additional funds sooner than planned.

Inflation and rapid increases in interest rates have led to a decline in the trading value of previously issued government securities with interest rates below current market interest rates. Although the U.S. Department of Treasury, FDIC and Federal Reserve Board have announced a program to provide up to $25 billion of loans to financial institutions secured by certain government securities held by financial institutions to mitigate the risk of potential losses on the sale of such instruments, widespread demands for customer withdrawals or other liquidity needs of financial institutions for immediate liquidity may exceed the capacity of such program. Additionally, there is no guarantee that the U.S. Department of Treasury, FDIC and Federal Reserve Board will provide access to uninsured funds in the event of the closure of other banks or financial institutions in the future, or that they would do so in a timely fashion.

Our future success depends significantly on our ability to successfully develop, and obtain regulatory approvals for and commercialize, avexitide in PBH and AMX0035 in indications other than ALS, including Wolfram syndrome and PSP. Avexitide has been evaluated in five Phase 2 clinical studies for PBH and Congenital HI. In February 2025, we activated the first sites for the pivotal Phase 3 LUCIDITY clinical trial for avexitide in PBH. To date, we have obtained limited clinical trial data supporting AMX0035 in indications other than ALS, having only completed a clinical trial in 95 patients with AD. We are conducting a Phase 2 clinical trial of AMX0035 in Wolfram syndrome, and a global Phase 3 clinical trial of AMX0035 in PSP, and intend to conduct additional clinical trials for other indications and product candidates in the future. Our business success depends heavily on our ability to successfully complete clinical trials for our product candidates. We have completed the IND enabling studies of AMX0114 in ALS and the first site was activated for a Phase 1 multiple ascending dose, placebo-controlled trial in Canada in February 2025.

In February 2025, we activated the first sites for the pivotal Phase 3 LUCIDITY clinical trial for avexitide in PBH and in April 2025, we announced that the first participant had been dosed. Recruitment of LUCIDITY is complete. We continue to expect to randomize and dose the last eligible patients in Q1 2026 with topline data expected in Q3 2026, and if approved, a commercial launch in 2027. We reported positive topline results from the Phase 2 HELIOS trial, an open-label study of AMX0035 in 12 adult participants with Wolfram syndrome. At Week 24, stabilization or improvement was demonstrated across all key clinical measures, including pancreatic function, glycemic control, and vision. Long-term Week 48 data demonstrated that treatment with AMX0035 led to continued sustained stabilization or improvement. Our business success depends heavily on our ability to successfully complete clinical trials for our product candidates. We have completed the IND-enabling studies of AMX0114 in ALS, fully enrolled cohort 1 (n=12) of the Phase 1 LUMINA trial in ALS in September 2025, and began enrolling cohort 2 (n=12) in December 2025 following the presentation of cohort 1 safety data demonstrating AMX0114 was generally well-tolerated, with no treatment-related serious AEs.

In addition, of the large number of drugs in development in the pharmaceutical industry, only a small percentage result in the submission of marketing applications to regulatory authorities, and even fewer are approved for commercialization. Furthermore, even if we do receive regulatory approval for our current or any of our future product candidates, any such approval may be subject to limitations on the indications or uses or the patient populations for which we may market the product. Additionally, we may not realize the full commercial potential of avexitide, AMX0035 or any other current or future product candidates that receive marketing approval if we are unable to appropriately identify patients with the diseases targeted by such product candidates. Accordingly, even if we are able to obtain the requisite financing to continue to fund our development activities, we cannot assure you that we will successfully develop or commercialize our current or any future product candidates for any indication in any jurisdiction. If we or any of our future collaborators are unable to develop, maintain, or obtain regulatory approvals for, or, if approved, successfully commercialize our current or any future product candidates for our initial or potential additional indications, we may not be able to generate sufficient revenue to continue our business. In addition, our failure to demonstrate positive results in our clinical trials in any indication for which we are developing our current product candidates, or to satisfy other regulatory requirements, could adversely affect our development efforts for avexitide, AMX0035 in other indications, or for AMX0114.

We have focused our research and development efforts on addressing neurodegenerative diseases and have only recently further expanded upon our existing development efforts in the endocrine and metabolic field with the acquisition of avexitide. This shift in focus may result in additional costs arising from operating expenses and hiring personnel, challenges with building our expertise in the endocrine and metabolic field, or diversion of management’s attention away from AMX0035. Historically, efforts by pharmaceutical companies in the field of neurodegenerative diseases have experienced limited successes in product development. The development of neurodegenerative therapies presents unique challenges, including an imperfect understanding of the biology, the presence of the blood brain barrier that can restrict the flow of drugs to the brain, a frequent lack of translatability of preclinical study results in subsequent clinical trials and dose selection, and the product candidate having an effect that may be too small to be detected using the outcome measures selected in clinical trials or if the outcomes measured do not reach statistical significance. There are few approved therapeutic options available for patients with ALS and other neurodegenerative disorders. Our future success is highly dependent on the successful development and commercialization of avexitide, AMX0035 and any other current or future product candidates for treating neurodegenerative diseases or for treating endocrine and metabolic disorders. Developing and commercializing avexitide, AMX0035 and any other current or future product candidates for treatment of neurodegenerative diseases or for treating PBH and Congenital HI subjects us to a number of challenges, including ensuring that we have developed or acquired the requisite expertise in these areas, selected the optimal doses, execute appropriate clinical trials to test for efficacy and obtain regulatory approval from the FDA and other comparable foreign regulatory authorities.

We, and any future collaborators, are not permitted to commercialize, market, promote or sell any product candidate in the U.S. or elsewhere without obtaining regulatory approval from the FDA and other comparable foreign regulatory authorities. Regulatory authorities in other jurisdictions may have similar requirements. The time required to obtain approval by the FDA and other comparable foreign regulatory authorities is unpredictable, and typically takes many years following the commencement of clinical trials and depends upon numerous factors, including substantial discretion of such regulatory authorities. In addition, approval policies, regulations, or the type and amount of clinical data necessary to gain approval may change during the course of a product candidate’s clinical development and may vary among jurisdictions. For example, the U.S. Supreme Court’s July 2024 decision to overturn prior established case law giving deference to regulatory agencies’ interpretations of ambiguous statutory language has introduced uncertainty regarding the extent to which FDA’s regulations, policies, and decisions may become subject to increasing legal challenges, delays, and/or changes. In addition, the FDA in any approval needs to determine that there is substantial evidence of effectiveness. This finding can be substantiated based on two adequate and well-controlled studies, or in certain circumstances on a single, large, multicenter, adequate and well-controlled study that is very persuasive or from a single adequate and well-controlled study together with confirmatory evidence. FDA regulations and guidance also allow for greater flexibility and tolerance for uncertainty in the context of rare and fatal diseases.

Bitter taste was frequently observed in our clinical trials of AMX0035. While bitter taste, by itself, does not present a safety risk for patients, it may lead to higher levels of patient non-compliance, which could have the effect of reducing the observed efficacy of AMX0035 in our clinical trials, or limit its commercial adoption. AMX0035 is a combination of TURSO and PB.
