Drug pricing in the United States remains under political and regulatory scrutiny, with federal and state actions aimed at increasing pricing transparency, examining manufacturer patient-support programs, and reducing drug spending, particularly in Medicare and Medicaid, which could materially affect the prices we, or any collaborators, may be able to obtain for any future approved products. In 2025, the Trump Administration advanced a most-favored-nation, or MFN, policy agenda through an executive order directing HHS to set MFN price targets and pursue rulemaking if targets are not met, alongside initiatives encouraging (or potentially requiring) lower-priced direct-to-patient purchasing models, and the President has also publicly pressed manufacturers to commit to MFN pricing.
