that do not relate to matters of historical fact should be considered forward-looking statements including, without limitation, statements containing the words "believe," "anticipate," "expect," "estimate," "may," "could," "should," "would," "will," "intend" and similar expressions. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy and financial needs. Such forward-looking statements involve unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause our actual results, financial condition, performance or achievements, or industry results, to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to, uncertainty in the outcome of our interactions with regulatory authorities, including the FDA, with respect to clinical trials in the U.S. and our ability to resolve any issues to the satisfaction of the FDA or any regulatory agency in a timely manner, the expected timing, progress, or success of our clinical development programs, especially for deucrictibant, which is in late-stage global clinical trials, our ability to replicate the efficacy and safety demonstrated in the RAPIDe-1 and CHAPTER-1 Phase 2 study in ongoing and future nonclinical studies and clinical trials, risks the COVID-19 pandemic, which may adversely impact our business, nonclinical studies, and clinical trials, the outcome and timing of regulatory approvals and the value of our ordinary shares, the timing, costs and other limitations involved in obtaining regulatory approval for our product candidates, deucrictibant immediate-releasecapsules (PHVS416) and deucrictibant extended-releasetablets (PHVS719), or any other product candidate that we may develop in the future, our ability to establish commercial capabilities or enter into agreements with third parties to market, sell, and distribute our product candidates, our ability to compete in the pharmaceutical industry, including with respect to existing therapies, emerging potentially competitive therapies and with competitive generic products, our ability to market, commercialize and achieve market acceptance for our product candidates, our ability to raise capital when needed and on acceptable terms, regulatory developments in the United States, the European Union and other jurisdictions, our ability to protect our intellectual property and know-how and operate our business without infringing the intellectual property rights or regulatory exclusivity of others, our ability to manage negative consequences from changes in applicable laws and regulations, including tax laws, our ability to successfully remediate the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, our expectations regarding the time during which we will be an emerging growth company under the JOBS Act or a foreign private issuer, changes and uncertainty in general market, political and economic conditions, including as a result of inflation and the current conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the Israel-Hamas war, and the other factors described under the headings "Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" and "Item 3. Key Information--D. Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 20-F and other periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. New risks and uncertainties may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible to predict all risks and uncertainties.

HAE: A rare, life-long genetic condition with significant burden from unpredictable, debilitating, and potentially lethal attacks of swelling

  • Unpredictable frequency, location, timing, and severity
    • Multiple types of triggers
    • If untreated, attacks last multiple days
  • Attacks are commonly painful, leading to hospitalization or multiple sick days
    • Half of people living with HAE experience a potentially life- threatening laryngeal attack at least once in their lifetime
  • 1:10,000 to 1:50,000 Individuals affected by HAE globally
    • At least 6,600 people living with HAE in the U.S.
    • At least 8,900 people living with HAE in Europe
    • Globally, under-diagnosed/treated

Deucrictibant: A novel, orally bioavailable bradykinin B2 receptor antagonist for bradykinin-mediated angioedema

  • Potent and selective inhibitor of the bradykinin B2 receptor
  • The first orally available bradykinin B2 receptor antagonist
  • The compound contains a deuterium that was introduced into a metabolic soft spot, to stabilize the molecule.
  • Currently in late-stage development for hereditary angioedema
