The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business and financial performance is uncertain and depends on various factors, including the scope and duration of the pandemic, government restrictions and other actions, including relief measures, implemented to address the impact of the pandemic, and resulting impacts on the financial markets and overall economy. The imposition of “lockdown,” “social distancing” and “shelter in place” directives by state and federal governments in the United States as well as governments in other regions of the world in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, including in locations in which our Phase 3 clinical trial of uproleselan is being conducted, resulted in slowed clinical site initiation, patient recruitment and enrollment rates in April 2020. Enrollment rates more recently showed an encouraging upward trend. However, the COVID-19 infection rates continue to rise, especially in the United States, which could negatively effect enrollment going forward. The Company is unable to determine the extent of the impact of the pandemic on its operations and financial condition going forward.
