At 52 weeks of treatment, Aramchol continued to show a favorable safety and tolerability profile. Serious adverse events were reported in 12.5%, 8.9% and 9.2% of patients in placebo, Aramchol 400mg and 600mg arms, respectively. No clustering of event type or atypical events for the studied population was reported in either Aramchol arms. Severe adverse events were reported in 10.4%, 6.9%, and 6.1% of patients in placebo, Aramchol 400mg, and 600mg arms, respectively. Early terminations due to adverse events occurred in 4.2%, 3.0% and 4.1% in placebo, Aramchol 400mg and 600mg arms, respectively.

        Pre-clinical studies include laboratory evaluation of the purity and stability of the manufactured drug substance or active pharmaceutical ingredient and the formulated drug or drug product, as well as in vitro and animal studies to assess the safety and activity of the drug for initial testing in humans and to establish a rationale for therapeutic use. The conduct of pre-clinical studies is subject to federal regulations and requirements, including GLP regulations. The results of the pre-clinical tests, together with manufacturing information, analytical data, any available clinical data or literature and plans for clinical trials, among other things, are submitted to the FDA as part of an IND. Some long-term pre-clinical testing, such as animal tests of reproductive adverse events and carcinogenicity, may continue after the IND is submitted.

        We have never declared nor paid cash dividends on our capital stock. We currently plan to retain all of our future earnings, if any, to finance the operation, development and growth of our business. In addition, the terms of any future debt or credit agreements may preclude us from paying dividends. As a result, capital appreciation, if any, of our common stock will be your sole source of gain for the foreseeable future.

        We currently have no products approved for sale and are investing a significant portion of our efforts and financial resources in the development of our lead product candidate, zilucoplan. Successful continued development and ultimate regulatory approval of zilucoplan for gMG and paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria, or PNH, and, in the future, a range of debilitating autoimmune diseases including complement-mediated renal disorders is critical to the future success of our business. We will need to raise sufficient funds for, and successfully enroll and complete, our clinical development program for zilucoplan in gMG and PNH. The future regulatory and commercial success of this product candidate is subject to a number of risks, including the following:

In addition, various aspects of our operations are subject to federal, state or local laws, rules and regulations, any of which may change from time to time. Costs arising out of any regulatory developments could be time-consuming and expensive and could divert management resources and attention and, consequently, could adversely affect our business operations and financial performance.

        Any of these events could harm our business and operations and could negatively impact our stock price.

held End-of-Phase 2 discussions with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency in the United Kingdom, or the U.K., or MHRA, and Health Canada. Based on FDA feedback, as well as advice provided by MHRA and Health Canada, we announced the design of a single-arm Phase 3 study in treatment-naïve PNH patients. In January 2019, we concluded scientific advice and protocol design discussions with the European Medicines Agency (EMA). The EMA was not receptive to a single-arm study design to support approval of zilucoplan in PNH. We do not plan to alter the design of the Phase 3 PNH program, but are reassessing the likelihood of obtaining marketing authorization for PNH in the European Union, or E.U.

I actually think the beneficial effect of alcohol health wise ( which is generally put at not more than a unit or two a day – which would normally be taken with a meal), may also be the result of it delaying the release of sugars into the bloodstream.
