Financial StrategyEQ has paused further activities on earlier pipeline assets to conserve cash, including EQ101 in alopecia areata and the preclinical oral peptide EQ302.
Risk FactorsRisks include, but are not limited to: delays in generating clinical data with itolizumab, refusal by Ono to exercise its option on itolizumab, failure to obtain approval for itolizumab, clinical setbacks with other pipeline programs, notably EQ-101 and EQ-102, and possible medium-term dilution risk.
Strategic DecisionsOno Pharmaceutical decided not to exercise its option to acquire itolizumab based on strategic reasons.
