This news release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and forward-looking information within the meaning of applicable securities laws in Canada, (collectively referred to as "forward-looking statements"). Statements, other than statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements and include, without limitation, statements regarding our strategy, future operations, timing and completion of clinical trials, prospects, plans and objectives of management. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve numerous assumptions, known and unknown risks and uncertainties, both general and specific, that contribute to the possibility that the predictions, forecasts, projections and other things contemplated by the forward-looking statements will not occur.
Although our management believes that the expectations represented by such forward-looking statements are reasonable, there is significant risk that the forward-looking statements may not be achieved, and the underlying assumptions thereto will not prove to be accurate. Forward-looking statements in this news release include, but are not limited to, statements concerning our expectations for: Phase III OmigardTM trial results in the second half of 2008 and if the results of this trial are positive, a new drug application (NDA) being submitted for OmigardTM in the first half of 2009; celgosivir Phase II viral kinetic results in the third quarter 2008; CLS001 entering into Phase III clinical development, partnerships; and other progress expected in 2008 and into 2009.
With respect to the forward-looking statements contained in this news release, we have made numerous assumptions regarding, among other things: Cadence's ability to enroll sufficient patients to complete the OmigardTM Phase III trial; the adequacy of the OmigardTM trial design to generate data that are deemed sufficient by regulatory authorities to support potential regulatory filings, including acceptance and approval of an NDA, for OmigardTM; Cutanea Life Sciences' ability to manage, fund and advance CLS001 into Phase III; the adequacy of the CLS001 Phase II results for regulatory authorities to support advancing to Phase III; our ability to manage licensing opportunities and arrangements; our ability to initiate, fund and complete non-clinical studies, clinical studies, manufacturing and all ancillary activities within our expected timelines; and future expense levels being within our current expectations.
Actual results or events could differ materially from the plans, intentions and expectations expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements, including the underlying assumptions thereto, as a result of numerous risks, uncertainties and other factors including: dependence on corporate collaborations; potential delays; uncertainties related to early stage of technology and product development; uncertainties as to the requirement that a drug be found to be safe and effective after extensive clinical trials and the possibility that the results of such trials, if completed, will not establish the safety or efficacy of our products; uncertainties as to future expense levels and the possibility of unanticipated costs or expenses or cost overruns; the possibility that opportunities will arise that require more cash than presently anticipated and other uncertainties related to predictions of future cash requirements; and other risks and uncertainties which may not be described herein. Certain of these factors and other factors are described in detail in the Company's Annual Information Form and Annual Report on Form 20-F for and other filings with the Canadian securities regulatory authorities and the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission.
Forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and MIGENIX assumes no obligations to update such information to reflect later events or developments.
