4Bad News, Challenges, or Points of Concern

Increased Net Loss: The rise in net loss could raise concerns about financial sustainability without significant revenue growth.

Competitive Landscape: The approval of new treatments (e.g., Revolution's daraxonrasib) in pancreatic cancer may impact the positioning of motixafortide.

Market Penetration: Challenges remain in the adoption of APHEXDA in transplant centers, compounded by the presence of generics and the slow pace of changing treatment paradigms.

5Notable Q&A Insights

GLIX1 and PARP Inhibitors: Discussions ongoing with key opinion leaders regarding the clinical development plan for the GLIX1 and PARP inhibitor combination, with potential positioning as maintenance therapy.

Motixafortide in PDAC: Management acknowledges the changing treatment landscape but believes there is still a role for CXCR4 inhibition.

APHEXDA Market Dynamics: Management noted that changing standard operating procedures in transplant centers is a lengthy process, and while there are generics in the market, they remain optimistic about future sales growth.
