Additionally, the current government administration has introduced various measures to address prescription drug pricing and access, including through issuance of an executive order aiming to establish an MFN drug pricing policy that would tie U.S. drug prices to the prices paid for drugs in other developed countries. If HHS sets MFN pricing targets for prescription drugs, including the use of international pricing reference to set drug prices in the U.S., or if legislation is passed enabling generic drug or biosimilar entry sooner than expected, our business could be materially harmed, including with respect to our ability to set adequate pricing for new drugs to recover our research and development costs. Additional proposals, regulations or initiatives related to drug pricing, such as the CMS-proposed MFN initiatives, the Global Benchmark for Efficient Drug Pricing for certain Medicare Part B drugs and the Guarding U.S. Medicare Against Rising Drug Costs for certain Medicare Part D drugs, continue to be debated, and additional executive orders or regulatory initiatives focused on drug pricing and competition may be adopted and implemented in some form. The timing and extent of implementation of any of the measures described above is uncertain and we cannot fully predict their impact on our product candidates and our business. The adoption of these and any other government controls and measures, and tightening of restrictive policies in jurisdictions with existing controls and measures, could exclude or limit our product candidates from coverage, limit payments for pharmaceuticals, limit our ability to launch products in certain markets and impact healthcare systems and drug markets in the U.S. and abroad, thereby negatively affecting our revenue and adversely impacting our business.
