ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET
RISK.
We are not currently exposed
to significant market risk related to changes in interest rates. As of September 30, 2023, our cash equivalents consisted primarily of
short-term money market funds. Our primary exposure to market risk is interest rate sensitivity, which is affected by changes in the general
level of U.S. interest rates. Due to the short-term nature of the cash equivalents in our portfolio and the low risk profile of our cash
equivalents, an immediate 10% change in interest rates would not have a material effect on the fair market value of our financial position
or results of operations.
We are not currently exposed
to significant market risk related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Our operations may be subject to fluctuations in foreign
currency exchange rates in the future.
Inflation generally affects
us by increasing our cost of labor and clinical trial costs. We do not believe that inflation had a material effect on our business, financial
condition or results of operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.
