The presentation is an overview on the Company and its capabilities and contains updated clinical information and related timelines.

 

This Form 8-K and related presentation contains forward-looking statements, including declarations regarding management's beliefs and expectations, that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “would,” “could,” “expects,” “plans,” “contemplate,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “projects,” “intend” or “continue” or the negative of such terms or other comparable terminology, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. Forward-looking statements are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties in predicting future results and conditions that could cause the actual results to differ materially from those projected in these forward-looking statements. Applicable risks and uncertainties include the risks that the interim data from this clinical trial may not be predictive of the results from the completed clinical trial, that the Company will be unable to successfully complete this clinical trial by year end and the other disclosures set forth in "Risk Factors" in our SEC filings.
