Forward-looking statements contained in this press release include, but are not limited to, statements relating to LAVA\u2019s initiatives to increase cost optimization and efficiencies. Many factors, risks and uncertainties may cause differences between current expectations and actual results, including, among other things, LAVA\u2019s ability to leverage its initial programs to develop additional product candidates using its Gammabody\u00ae platform, the failure of LAVA\u2019s collaborators to support or advance collaborations or LAVA\u2019s product candidates, the timing and results of LAVA\u2019s research and development programs and preclinical and clinical trials, the possibility that clinical trials may fail to establish sufficient efficacy, the risk that adverse events or safety signals may occur in clinical trials, the risk that results obtained in preclinical studies or clinical trials to date may not be indicative of results obtained in ongoing or future trials, the risk that adverse regulatory actions or other setbacks could occur in clinical trials even after promising results in earlier clinical trials or preclinical studies, LAVA\u2019s ability to obtain regulatory approval for and commercialize its product candidates, LAVA\u2019s ability to identify any strategic alternatives or if so identified, be able to consummate any such transactions on terms acceptable to LAVA and its shareholders, and the risk that setbacks in development could occur as a result of the difficulty and uncertainty of pharmaceutical product development and other factors. There may be adverse effects on LAVA\u2019s business condition and results from general economic and market conditions and overall fluctuations in the United States and international credit and financial markets, including as a result of inflation, heightened interest rates, recent and potential future pandemics and other health crises, and hostilities, including the conflict in Ukraine and the conflict in the Middle East.
