12th Annual Cantor Fitzgerald Global Healthcare Conference summary

Focuses on developing therapies for orphan conditions and severe rare diseases, leveraging expertise in specialized hospital and healthcare center engagement.
Recently expanded portfolio with the acquisition of SCY-770 for autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), complementing existing antifungal assets.
Both main assets target conditions with significant unmet medical need and limited treatment options.
Recent milestones and upcoming catalysts
Two phase I studies are concluding: one for SCY-770 in ADPKD and another for an intravenous antifungal agent.
Phase II study in ADPKD is set to begin by year-end, with an interim efficacy readout expected in the second half of next year.
Dose selection for phase II is driven by pharmacokinetic data and preclinical efficacy targets.

SCY-770 was acquired for $8 million upfront, with up to $8 million in development milestones and $180 million in commercial milestones.
The asset's advanced development stage and compelling mechanism as an AMPK activator were key factors in the acquisition.
