The IRA explicitly excludes from price negotiation orphan drugs designated for only one rare disease or condition and for which the only active approved indication is for such disease or condition. Those drugs with multiple orphan designations are not excluded from drug price negotiation. As we are developing bexotegrast in multiple orphan indications and may seek obtain orphan drug designation for other product candidates, this aspect of the IRA could have a negative impact on our ability to rely on the orphan drug exclusion to the “maximum fair price”.
