Key Factors Affecting Our Results
−Removed: Our 2021 financial performance will reflect full year results of the Progenics business, whereas current year only incorporated results since the June 19, 2020 acquisition date.
−Removed: We also expect that the anticipated approval and launch of PyL during fiscal year 2021 may result in increased revenues.
+Added: Our 2021 financial performance reflects full year results of the Progenics business, whereas the year ended December 31, 2020 only incorporates results since the June 19, 2020 closing date of the Progenics Acquisition.
Our business and financial performance have been, and continue to be, affected by the following:
−Removed: COVID-19 Pandemic
−Removed: The global COVID-19 pandemic has had, and will continue to have, a material impact on our business.
−Removed: Towards the end of the first quarter of 2020 we began to experience, and through the date of this filing we are continuing to experience, impacts to our business and operations related to the COVID-19 pandemic, including the impact of stay-at-home mandates and advisories, and a decline in the volume of procedures and treatments using our products.
−Removed: For example, there has been a reduction in the number of
−Removed: echocardiograms performed in 2020 (approximately 31.5 million) as compared to the number performed in 2019 (approximately 35.1 million), in each case, according to a third party source.
−Removed: In addition, there has been a substantial reduction in pulmonary ventilation studies in which our Xenon is used because of institutional concerns and professional society guidelines relating to the possible spread of COVID-19 to technicians and other patients, given that Xenon is both inhaled and exhaled by the patient.
−Removed: As a result, Xenon sales have decreased.
−Removed: We expect Xenon sales to continue to be at reduced levels so long as COVID-19 precautions remain in place.
−Removed: We cannot predict the magnitude or duration of the pandemic’s impact on our business.
−Removed: As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we undertook a thorough analysis of all of our discretionary expenses.
−Removed: In the first quarter of 2020 we implemented certain cost reduction initiatives.
−Removed: For most of the second quarter of 2020, we reduced our work week from five days to four days and reduced the pay for our personnel by varying amounts, depending on level of seniority.
−Removed: We can give no assurances that we will not have to take additional cost reduction measures if the pandemic continues to adversely affect the volume of procedures and treatments using our products.
−Removed: During the second quarter of 2020, Progenics also implemented certain cost reduction initiatives, and new enrollment in the Phase 2 trial of 1095 in mCRPC patients was paused to minimize the risk to subjects and healthcare providers during the pandemic.
−Removed: New enrollment in that study restarted in October 2020.
−Removed: GE Healthcare, our development and commercialization partner for flurpiridaz F 18, also delayed enrollment in the second Phase 3 clinical trial because of the pandemic and resumed enrollment in the third quarter of 2020.
−Removed: While we are currently unable to estimate the impact of COVID-19 on our overall 2020 operations and financial results, we ended the fourth quarter of 2020 with $79.6 million of cash and cash equivalents.
−Removed: With our available liquidity and prudent expense management, we believe we will be able to maintain a state of preparedness to resume full business activities to support our customers as external conditions allow, although we can give no assurances that we will have sufficient liquidity if the pandemic continues to adversely affect the volume of procedures and treatments using our products for an extended period of time.
+Added: PYLARIFY Approval and Commercial Launch
+Added: On May 27, 2021, we announced that the U.S.
+Added: Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) had approved PYLARIFY, an F 18-labeled PET imaging agent targeting prostate-specific membrane antigen (“PSMA”).
+Added: PYLARIFY is a product in our radiopharmaceutical oncology product category.
+Added: We commercially launched PYLARIFY in the U.S.
+Added: in June 2021.
+Added: PYLARIFY is a radioactive diagnostic agent indicated for PET imaging of PSMA-positive lesions in men with prostate cancer with suspected metastasis who are candidates for initial definitive therapy and with suspected recurrence based on elevated serum prostate-specific antigen (“PSA”) levels.
+Added: PYLARIFY works by binding to PSMA, a protein that is overexpressed on the surface of more than 90% of primary and metastatic prostate cancer cells.
+Added: PYLARIFY works with PET/CT technology to produce a combined PET/CT scan that enables the reader of the PET/CT scan to detect and locate the disease.
+Added: According to the American Cancer Society, prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in American men -- one in eight American men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetimes and over 3.1 million American men are living with prostate cancer today.
+Added: Based on estimates from third party sources regarding the incidence of prostate cancer in men in the U.S., we believe the market potential for PSMA PET imaging agents could be up to 220,000 annual scans, comprised of 90,000 scans for patients with intermediate, unfavorable or high/very high risk of suspected metastases of prostate cancer and 130,000 scans for patients with
+Added: suspected recurrence of prostate cancer.
+Added: Because we are in the process of launching this imaging agent, we can give no assurance as to how clinical practice may evolve or what our ultimate market penetration may be.
+Added: The approval of PYLARIFY was based on data from two Company-sponsored pivotal studies (“OSPREY” and “CONDOR”) designed to establish the safety and diagnostic performance of PYLARIFY across the prostate cancer disease continuum.
+Added: Results from OSPREY (Cohort A) demonstrated improvement in specificity and positive predictive value of PYLARIFY PET imaging over conventional imaging in men at risk for metastatic prostate cancer prior to initial definitive therapy.
+Added: CONDOR studied men with biochemical recurrent prostate cancer.
+Added: In patients with biochemical recurrent prostate cancer and non-informative baseline imaging, PYLARIFY demonstrated high correct localization and detection rates, including in patients with early recurrent disease with low, but rising, PSA blood levels (median PSA 0.8 ng/mL).
+Added: Upon commercial launch in June 2021, PYLARIFY was immediately available in select parts of the U.S.
+Added: Over the course of the remainder of 2021, PYLARIFY availability expanded into additional regions and is now broadly available nationwide.
+Added: We continue to expand our geographic coverage, customer contracting and market access coverage to serve our customers and the U.S.
+Added: prostate cancer community.
+Added: The commercial launch of PYLARIFY is complex and expensive.
+Added: During 2021, we hired additional employees to assist us with the commercialization of PYLARIFY, including in sales, marketing, reimbursement, quality and medical affairs.
+Added: To manufacture PYLARIFY, we assembled and qualified a nationwide network of PMFs with radioisotope-producing cyclotrons that make F 18, which has a 110-minute half-life, so PYLARIFY is manufactured and distributed rapidly to end-users.
+Added: After being made on a cyclotron at a PMF, the F 18 is then combined with certain chemical ingredients in specially designed chemistry synthesis boxes to manufacture PYLARIFY.
+Added: The finished PYLARIFY is then quality control tested and transferred to a radiopharmacist who prepares and dispenses patient-specific doses of the final product.
+Added: Because each of the PMFs manufacturing these products is deemed by the FDA to be a separate manufacturing site, each has to be separately approved by the FDA.
+Added: Although PYLARIFY is now broadly available nationwide and we continue to qualify additional PMFs, we can give no assurance that the FDA will continue to approve PMFs in accordance with our planned roll-out schedule.
+Added: If FDA approval of manufacturing sites is delayed or withdrawn, our future business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows could be adversely affected.
+Added: In addition to the network of PMFs, we have also been working with academic medical centers in the U.S.
+Added: that have radioisotope-producing cyclotrons and which have expressed an interest in manufacturing PYLARIFY.
+Added: Under this initiative, we would enter into a fee-for-service arrangement under which the academic medical center’s PMF would manufacture and supply batches of PYLARIFY, and its radiopharmacy would prepare patient-ready unit doses, in each case for and on behalf of us.
+Added: We would then sell those unit doses to the academic medical center’s hospitals and clinics, and in some instances, to additional customers in the academic medical center’s geographic area, in each case, under separate purchase agreements.
+Added: The academic medical center’s PMF’s ability to manufacture and supply batches of PYLARIFY will be subject to FDA approval, and we can give no assurance that the FDA will approve such PMFs in accordance with our planned roll-out schedule.
+Added: Our commercial launch also required obtaining adequate coding, coverage and payment for PYLARIFY, including not only coverage from Medicare, Medicaid and other government payors, as well as private payors, but also appropriate payment levels, to adequately cover our customers’ costs of using PYLARIFY in PET/CT imaging procedures.
+Added: We received notification that our HCPCS code, which enables streamlined billing, went into effect as of January 1, 2022.
+Added: In addition, effective January 1, 2022, the CMS granted Transitional Pass-Through Payment Status in the hospital outpatient setting (“TPT Status”) for PYLARIFY, enabling traditional Medicare to provide an incremental payment for PET/CT scans performed with PYLARIFY in that setting.
+Added: TPT Status for PYLARIFY is expected to expire December 31, 2024.
+Added: After TPT Status expires, under current Medicare rules, PYLARIFY, similar to other diagnostic radiopharmaceuticals, would not be separately reimbursed in the hospital outpatient setting but rather would be included as part of the facility fee a hospital otherwise receives for a PET/CT imaging procedure, and the facility fee does not always cover the cost of a drug used in the procedure.
+Added: We can give no assurance that any CMS reimbursement in the hospital outpatient setting that follows the expiration of TPT Status will be adequate to cover the cost of PYLARIFY used in a PET/CT imaging procedure.
+Added: We actively pursue patents in connection with PYLARIFY, both in the U.S.
+Added: and internationally.
+Added: for PYLARIFY, we have four Orange Book-listed patents, including composition of matter patents, which expire in 2030 and 2037.
+Added: Outside of the U.S., we are currently pursuing additional PYLARIFY patents to obtain similar patent protection as in the U.S.
+Added: PYLARIFY AI Clearance and Use
+Added: During 2021, we also announced that our subsidiary, EXINI, was granted 510(k) clearance by the FDA in the U.S.
+Added: and received CE marking in Europe for aPROMISE.
+Added: We commercially launched aPROMISE under the name PYLARIFY AI in the U.S.
+Added: in November 2021.
+Added: PYLARIFY AI is artificial intelligence medical device software developed to assist with the reading and quantification of PYLARIFY scans.
+Added: The technology automatically analyzes a PSMA PET/CT image to segment anatomical regions – 51 bones and 12 soft tissue organs.
+Added: This image segmentation enables automated localization, detection and quantification of potential PSMA-avid lesions in a PSMA PET/CT image, which is then incorporated into a standardized report for physicians.

7 unchanged sentences
and internationally.
−Removed: for DEFINITY we now own a total of four Orange Book-listed method of use patents, one of which expires in 2035 and three of which expire in 2037, as well as additional manufacturing patents that are not Orange Book-listed expiring in 2021, 2023 and 2037.
−Removed: for DEFINITY RT, we now own a total of five Orange Book-listed patents, including a composition of matter patent which expires in 2035.
−Removed: Outside of the U.S., while our original DEFINITY patent protection and regulatory exclusivity have generally expired, we are currently prosecuting additional DEFINITY and DEFINITY RT patents to obtain similar patent protection as in the U.S.
+Added: for DEFINITY, we have four Orange Book-listed method of use patents, one of which expires in 2035 and three of which expire in 2037, as well as additional manufacturing patents that are not Orange Book-listed expiring in 2023 and 2037.
+Added: for DEFINITY RT, we have five Orange Book-listed patents, including a composition of matter patent which expires in 2035.
+Added: Outside of the U.S., we are currently pursuing additional DEFINITY and DEFINITY RT patents to obtain similar patent protection as in the U.S.
The Orange Book-listed patents include a patent on the use of VIALMIX RFID which expires in 2037;
−Removed: additional VIALMIX RFID patent applications have been submitted in major markets throughout the world.
+Added: we have submitted additional VIALMIX RFID patent applications in major markets throughout the world.
Hatch-Waxman Act - Even though our longest duration Orange Book-listed DEFINITY patent extends until March 2037, because our Orange Book-listed composition of matter patent expired in June 2019, we may face generic DEFINITY challengers in the near to intermediate term.
−Removed: Under the Hatch-Waxman Act, the FDA can approve Abbreviated New Drug Applications (“ANDAs”) for generic versions of drugs if the ANDA applicant demonstrates, among other things, that (i) its generic candidate is the same as the innovator product by establishing bioequivalence and providing relevant chemistry, manufacturing and product data, and (ii) the marketing of that generic candidate does not infringe an Orange Book-listed patent or that an Orange Book-listed patent is invalid.
−Removed: With respect to any Orange Book-listed patent covering the innovator product, the ANDA applicant must give a notice to the innovator (a “Notice”) that the ANDA applicant certifies that its generic candidate will not infringe the innovator’s Orange Book-listed patent or that the Orange Book-listed patent is invalid.
−Removed: The innovator can then challenge the ANDA applicant in court within 45 days of receiving that Notice, and FDA approval to commercialize the generic candidate will be stayed (that is, delayed) for up to 30 months (measured from the date on which a Notice is received) while the patent dispute between the innovator and the ANDA applicant is resolved in court.
−Removed: month stay could potentially expire sooner if the courts determine that no infringement had occurred or that the challenged Orange Book-listed patent is invalid or if the parties otherwise settle their dispute.
−Removed: As of the date of filing of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we have not received any Notice from an ANDA applicant.
−Removed: If we were to (i) receive any such Notice in the future, (ii) bring a patent infringement suit against the ANDA applicant within 45 days of receiving that Notice, and (iii) successfully obtain the full 30 month stay, then the ANDA applicant would be precluded from commercializing a generic version of DEFINITY prior to the expiration of that 30 month stay period and, potentially, thereafter, depending on how the patent dispute is resolved.
−Removed: Solely by way of example and not based on any knowledge we currently have, if we received a Notice from an ANDA applicant in March 2021 and the full 30 month stay was obtained, then the ANDA applicant would be precluded from commercialization until at least September 2023.
−Removed: If we received a Notice some number of months in the future and the full 30 month stay was obtained, the commercialization date would roll forward in the future by the same calculation.
−Removed: • DEFINITY RT - In November 2020, the FDA approved our supplemental new drug application (sNDA) for DEFINITY RT.
−Removed: DEFINITY RT is a modified formulation of DEFINITY that allows both storage and shipment at room temperature (DEFINITY’s previously approved formulation requires refrigerated storage).
−Removed: The modified formulation provides clinicians an additional choice and allows for greater utility of this formulation in broader clinical settings.
−Removed: We believe DEFINITY RT will become commercially available later in 2021, although that timing cannot be assured.
−Removed: Given its physical characteristics, we believe DEFINITY RT is also well-suited for inclusion in kits requiring microbubbles for other indications and applications (including in kits developed by third parties of the type described in the paragraph entitled New Clinical Applications below).
−Removed: • VIALMIX RFID – In August 2020, we announced the FDA approved our sNDA for our next-generation activation device designed specifically for both DEFINITY and DEFINITY RT.
−Removed: The activation rate and time are controlled by VIALMIX RFID through the use of radio-frequency identification technology (“RFID”) to ensure reproducible activation of DEFINITY and DEFINITY RT.
−Removed: The RFID tag, which is affixed to the vial label, enables the DEFINITY or DEFINITY RT vial to be appropriately activated when utilized with the VIALMIX RFID activation device.
−Removed: • New Clinical Applications - As we continue to look for other opportunities to expand our microbubble franchise, we are evaluating new indications and clinical applications beyond echocardiography and ultrasound enhancing agent imaging generally.
−Removed: • In April 2019, we announced a strategic development and commercial collaboration with Cerevast Medical, Inc.
−Removed: (“Cerevast”) in which our microbubble will be used in connection with Cerevast’s ocular ultrasound device to improve blood flow in occluded retinal veins in the eye.
−Removed: Retinal vein occlusion is one of the most common causes of vision loss worldwide.
−Removed: • In December 2019, we announced a strategic commercial supply agreement with CarThera for the use of our microbubbles in combination with SonoCloud, a proprietary implantable device in development for the treatment of recurrent glioblastoma.
−Removed: Glioblastoma is a lethal and devastating form of brain cancer with median survival of 15 months after diagnosis.
−Removed: • In October 2020, we announced a strategic collaboration with Insightec Ltd.
−Removed: (“Insightec”) which will use our microbubbles in connection with Insightec’s transcranial guided focused ultrasound device for the treatment of glioblastoma as well as other neurodegenerative conditions.
−Removed: • In-House Manufacturing - We have completed construction of specialized, in-house manufacturing capabilities at our North Billerica, Massachusetts facility for DEFINITY and, potentially, other sterile vial products.
−Removed: We believe the investment in these efforts will allow us to better control DEFINITY manufacturing and inventory, reduce our costs in a potentially more price competitive environment, and provide us with supply chain redundancy.
−Removed: We currently expect to make use of this in-house manufacturing capability in late 2021, although that timing cannot be assured.
−Removed: • DEFINITY in China - In March 2020 in connection with our Chinese development and distribution arrangement with Double-Crane Pharmaceutical Company (“Double-Crane”), we filed an Import Drug License application with the National Medical Products Administration, or the NMPA, for the use of DEFINITY for the echocardiography indication.
−Removed: We believe this is an important milestone in our efforts to commercialize DEFINITY in China.
−Removed: Double-Crane is also in the process of analyzing the clinical results relating to the liver and kidney indications and will also work with us to prepare an Import Drug License application for those indications.
−Removed: Integration of the Progenics Acquisition
−Removed: The ultimate success of the Progenics Acquisition will depend on our ability to successfully combine the business of Progenics with our own and realize the anticipated benefits, including synergies, cost savings, innovation and operational efficiencies and revenue growth from the combination.
−Removed: If we are unable to achieve these objectives within the anticipated time frame, or at all, the
−Removed: anticipated benefits may not be realized fully or at all, or may take longer to realize than expected, and the value of our common stock may suffer.
−Removed: Our combined business is now significantly larger and more complex than our business was immediately prior to the consummation of the Progenics Acquisition.
−Removed: Our ability to successfully manage this combined business will depend upon our ability to continue to integrate the two separate businesses and manage the combined business with its increased scale and scope, and increased costs and complexity.
−Removed: We have incurred, and expect to continue to incur, substantial expenses in connection with the integration of the Progenics business with our own.
−Removed: There are a large number of processes, policies, procedures, operations, technologies and systems that have been, or must be, integrated, including purchasing, accounting and finance, sales, payroll, pricing, revenue management, marketing and benefits.
−Removed: The substantial majority of these costs have been, and will continue to be, non-recurring expenses related to the Progenics Acquisition, facilities and systems consolidation costs.
−Removed: We may also incur additional costs to maintain employee morale and to attract, motivate or retain management personnel or key employees.
+Added: Under the Hatch-Waxman Act, the FDA can approve Abbreviated New Drug Applications (“ANDAs”) for generic versions of drugs if the ANDA applicant demonstrates, among other things, that (i) its generic candidate is the same as the innovator product by establishing bioequivalence and providing relevant chemistry, manufacturing and product data, and (ii) either the marketing of that generic candidate does not infringe the Orange Book-listed patent(s) or the Orange Book-listed patent(s) is invalid.
+Added: Similarly, the FDA can approve a Section 505(b)(2) NDA from an applicant that relies on some of the information required for marketing approval to come from studies which the applicant does not own or have a legal right of reference.
+Added: With respect to the Orange Book-listed patent(s) covering an innovator product, the ANDA applicant or the Section 505(b)(2) applicant (if relying on studies related to the innovator product) (together, the “Applicant”) must give a notice (a “Notice”) to the innovator of its certification that its generic candidate will not infringe the innovator’s Orange Book-listed patent(s) or that the Orange Book-listed patent(s) is invalid.
+Added: The innovator can then file suit against the Applicant within 45 days of receiving the Notice, and FDA approval to commercialize the generic candidate will be stayed (that is, delayed) for up to 30 months (measured from the date on which a Notice is received) while the patent dispute between the innovator and the Applicant is resolved in court.
+Added: The 30-month stay could potentially expire sooner if the courts determine that no infringement had occurred or that the challenged Orange Book-listed patent is invalid or if the parties otherwise settle their dispute.
+Added: As of the date of filing of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we have not received any Notice from an Applicant.
+Added: If we were to (i) receive any such Notice in the future, (ii) bring a patent infringement suit against the Applicant within 45 days of receiving that Notice, and (iii) successfully obtain the full 30-month stay, then the Applicant would be precluded from commercializing a generic version of DEFINITY prior to the expiration of that 30-month stay period and, potentially, thereafter, depending on how the patent dispute is resolved.
+Added: Solely by way of example and not based on any knowledge we currently have, if we received a Notice from an Applicant in March 2022 and the full 30-month stay were obtained, then the Applicant would be precluded from commercialization until at least September 2024.
+Added: If we received a Notice some number of months in the future and the full 30-month stay were obtained, the commercialization date would roll forward in the future by the same number of months.
+Added: In the event a 505(b)(2) applicant does not rely on studies related to the innovator product, the 30-month stay would not apply, but additional clinical studies may be required.
+Added: • DEFINITY RT - DEFINITY RT became commercially available in the fourth quarter of 2021.
+Added: A modified formulation of DEFINITY that allows both storage and shipment at room temperature, DEFINITY RT provides clinicians an additional choice and allows for greater utility of this formulation in broader clinical settings.
+Added: Given its physical characteristics, we believe DEFINITY RT is also well-suited for inclusion in kits requiring microbubbles for other indications and applications (including in kits developed by third parties of the type described in the paragraph entitled Microbubble below).
+Added: • VIALMIX RFID - VIALMIX RFID, our next-generation activation device designed specifically for both DEFINITY and DEFINITY RT, became commercially available in the fourth quarter of 2021.

+Added: COVID-19 Pandemic
+Added: The global COVID-19 pandemic has had, and may continue to have, a material impact on our business.
+Added: Towards the end of the first quarter of 2020 we began to experience, and through the date of this filing we are continuing to experience, impacts to our business and operations related to the COVID-19 pandemic, including the impact of hospital staffing challenges, vaccination mandates, employee absences due to illness, and a decline in the volume of certain procedures and treatments using our products.
+Added: Although some of the restrictions, including stay-at-home mandates, imposed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic have been lifted in much of the U.S., and there has been a rapid rollout and development of multiple vaccines and boosters, the resurgence of COVID-19 infections continued to impact certain aspects of our business during the fourth quarter of 2021.
+Added: For example, we believe sales of DEFINITY were impacted by hospital nursing and sonographer shortages, and sales of AZEDRA were impacted by treatment capacity constraints in hospitals, treatment deferrals and cancellations by patients, and access restrictions by hospitals.
+Added: In addition, there has been a substantial reduction in pulmonary ventilation studies in which our product, Xenon, is used because of institutional concerns and professional society guidelines relating to the possible spread of COVID-19 to technicians and other patients, because
+Added: Xenon is both inhaled and exhaled by the patient.
+Added: Our Xenon sales through the fourth quarter of 2021 continued to be at reduced levels, we expect these reduced levels to continue for at least as long as COVID-19 precautions remain in place, and we can give no assurance that Xenon sales will return to historic levels.
+Added: The pandemic could still have a future negative impact on our business, particularly if there are additional resurgences as a result of mutations or other variations to the virus that further increase its communicability or its impact on certain populations, geographic regions and the healthcare system, including elective procedures and hospital access.
