+Added: GSK will also pay royalties based on cumulative annual sales to us in the mid-single digit to mid-teen range.
+Added: The royalty terms are not amended by the Binding MOU.
+Added: Product Recall and Clinical Hold
+Added: Following a review by GSK of the manufacturing process and equipment at the vendor that manufactures the ibrexafungerp drug substance, we became aware that a non-antibacterial beta-lactam drug substance was manufactured using equipment common to the manufacturing process for ibrexafungerp.
+Added: Current FDA draft guidance recommends segregating the manufacture of non-antibacterial beta-lactam compounds from other compounds since beta-lactam compounds have the potential to act as sensitizing agents that may trigger hypersensitivity or an allergic reaction in some people.
+Added: In the absence of the recommended segregation, there is a risk of cross contamination.
+Added: It is not known whether any ibrexafungerp has been contaminated with a beta-lactam compound and we have not received any reports of adverse events due to the possible beta-lactam cross contamination.
+Added: Nonetheless, out of an abundance of caution and in line with GSK’s recommendation, we have recalled BREXAFEMME (ibrexafungerp tablets) from the market and placed a temporary hold on clinical studies of ibrexafungerp, including the Phase 3 MARIO study.
+Added: The patient-level and clinical product recall has been initiated and we are working with an experienced vendor to manage the process.
+Added: In September 2023, after we have announced our voluntary clinical hold, the FDA concurred with our voluntary hold and placed a clinical hold.
+Added: We are working with the FDA to discuss paths for resolution of this issue.
+Added: The clinical hold and recall affected two ongoing clinical studies:
+Added: the Phase 3 MARIO study and a Phase 1 lactation study.
+Added: The clinical hold does not impact the recently completed FURI, CARES, VANQUISH and SCYNERGIA clinical studies, for which dosing is complete.
+Added: The NATURE study, which is an observational study in patients with IC treated with standard of care antifungals (not ibrexafungerp), is also not affected by this hold.
+Added: The FDA determined that the compassionate use program for ibrexafungerp, which provides ibrexafungerp to patients with limited or no other treatment options, can continue provided the patient’s treating physician concludes a favorable benefit-risk assessment and the patient is made aware of and consents to the risk.
+Added: This applies to patients currently in the program as well as for new patients, pending confirmation of available supply.
+Added: Our preclinical stage compound, SCY-247, is not affected by these developments.
+Added: In response to the hold on clinical studies of ibrexafungerp by the FDA due to possible beta-lactam cross contamination, we have entered into certain new manufacturing agreements with third-party contract manufacturers to begin producing new batches of ibrexafungerp which we believe will allow us to lift the clinical hold and restart our impacted clinical studies, the Phase 3 MARIO study and a Phase 1 lactation study.

+Added: The Company recognized the revenue associated with the MARIO study and the remaining ongoing clinical and preclinical studies of ibrexafungerp over time using an input method.
+Added: The input method is based on the actual costs incurred as a percentage of total budgeted costs towards satisfying the performance obligation as this method provides the most faithful depiction of the Company’s performance in transferring control of the services promised to GSK and represents the Company’s best estimate of the period of the obligation.
