Risk Factors ”

and should be carefully considered, together with other information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our other filings with the SEC before making investment decisions regarding our ordinary shares.

We are dependent on the successful commercialization of our only approved product, Jelmyto .

We have limited experience as an organization in marketing and distributing products and are therefore subject to certain risks in relation to the commercialization of Jelmyto and any of our other product candidates that receives regulatory approval.

The market opportunities for Jelmyto and our product candidates may be limited to those patients who are ineligible for established therapies or for whom prior therapies have failed and may be small.

Jelmyto and any of our product candidates that receive regulatory approval may fail to achieve the broad degree of physician adoption and use and market acceptance necessary for commercial success.

Jelmyto and our product candidates, if approved, will face significant competition with competing technologies and our failure to compete effectively may prevent us from achieving significant market penetration.

Jelmyto  and our product candidates, if approved, will face significant competition with competing technologies and our failure to compete effectively may prevent us from achieving significant market penetration.

In addition to Jelmyto , we are dependent on the success of our lead product candidate, UGN-102, and our other product candidates, including obtaining regulatory approval to market our product candidates in the United States.

If our collaborations are not successful, we may not be able to capitalize on the market potential of these product candidates.

We currently contract with third-party subcontractors and single-source suppliers for certain raw materials, compounds and components necessary to produce Jelmyto for commercial use, and to produce UGN-102 and UGN-201 for nonclinical studies and clinical trials, and expect to continue to do so to support commercial scale production of UGN-102 and UGN-201, if approved.

We currently contract with third-party subcontractors and single-source suppliers for certain raw materials, compounds and components necessary to produce Jelmyto  for commercial use, and to produce UGN-102, UGN-201 and UGN-301 for nonclinical studies and clinical trials, and expect to continue to do so to support commercial scale production of UGN-102 and UGN-201, if approved, as well as UGN-301 if approved as a monotherapy or for any approved product that includes UGN-301.

There are significant risks associated with the manufacture of pharmaceutical products and contracting with contract manufacturers, including single-source suppliers.

Furthermore, our existing third-party subcontractors and single-source suppliers may not be able to meet the increased need for certain raw materials, compounds and components that may result from our commercialization efforts.

This increases the risk that we will not have sufficient quantities of Jelmyto , UGN-102 or UGN-201 or be able to obtain such quantities at an acceptable cost, which could delay, prevent or impair our development or commercialization efforts.

This increases the risk that we will not have sufficient quantities of Jelmyto , UGN-102 , UGN-201 or UGN-301 or be able to obtain such quantities at an acceptable cost, which could delay, prevent or impair our development or commercialization efforts.

If product liability lawsuits are brought against us, we may incur substantial liabilities and may be required to limit commercialization of any of our other products we develop.

5 unchanged sentences

If the FDA does not conclude that UGN-102 satisfies the requirements under Section 505(b)(2) of the Federal Food Drug and Cosmetic Act, or Section 505(b)(2), or if the requirements for our product candidates are not as we expect, the approval pathway for these product candidates will likely take significantly longer, cost significantly more and entail significantly greater complications and risks than anticipated, and in either case may not be successful.

Jelmyto and any of product candidates that receives regulatory approval will be subject to ongoing regulatory obligations and continued regulatory review, which may result in significant additional expenses, limit or withdraw regulatory approval and subject us to penalties if we fail to comply with applicable regulatory requirements.

Jelmyto  and any of product candidates that receives regulatory approval will be subject to ongoing regulatory obligations and continued regulatory review, which may result in significant additional expenses, limit or withdraw regulatory approval and subject us to penalties if we fail to comply with applicable regulatory requirements.

It may be difficult for us to profitably sell our product candidates if coverage and reimbursement for these products is limited by government authorities and/or third-party payor policies.

We must also properly educate physicians and nurses on the skillful preparation and administration of Jelmyto , and develop a broad experiential knowledge base of aggregated clinician feedback from which we can refine appropriate procedures for product administration, without which there could be a risk of adverse events.

Because no drug has previously been approved by the FDA for the treatment of low-grade UTUC, it is especially difficult to estimate Jelmyto ’s market potential.

The commercial success of Jelmyto depends on the extent to which patients and physicians accept and adopt Jelmyto as a treatment for low-grade UTUC, and we do not know whether our or others’ estimates in this regard will be accurate.

Because no drug has previously been approved by the FDA for the treatment of low-grade UTUC, it is especially difficult to estimate Jelmyto ’s market potential.

The commercial success of Jelmyto depends on the extent to which patients and physicians accept and adopt Jelmyto as a treatment for low-grade UTUC, and we do not know whether our or others’

estimates in this regard will be accurate.

For example, if the patient population suffering from low-grade UTUC is smaller than we estimate or if physicians are unwilling to prescribe or patients are unwilling to be treated with Jelmyto due to label warnings, adverse events associated with product administration or other reasons, the commercial potential of Jelmyto will be limited.

At this time, we have only limited information regarding how physicians, patients and payors will respond to the pricing of Jelmyto .

Physicians may not prescribe Jelmyto and patients may be unwilling to be treated with Jelmyto if coverage is not provided or reimbursement is inadequate to cover a significant portion of the cost.

Additionally, any negative development for Jelmyto in our post-marketing commitments, or in regulatory processes in other jurisdictions, may adversely impact the commercial results and potential of Jelmyto .

Physicians may not prescribe Jelmyto and patients may be unwilling to be treated with Jelmyto if coverage is not provided or reimbursement is inadequate to cover a significant portion of the cost. Additionally, any negative development for Jelmyto in our post-marketing commitments, or in regulatory processes in other jurisdictions, may adversely impact the commercial results and potential of Jelmyto .

Thus, significant uncertainty remains regarding the commercial potential of Jelmyto .

In addition, our ongoing commercial launch of Jelmyto and subsequent commercialization efforts could be hindered by the COVID-19 pandemic, although we are currently not able to predict or quantify any such potential impact with any degree of certainty.

If the launch or commercialization of Jelmyto is unsuccessful or perceived as disappointing, our stock price could decline significantly and the long-term success of the product and our company could be harmed.

In addition, our ongoing commercial launch of Jelmyto and subsequent commercialization efforts could be hindered by the COVID-19 pandemic, although we are currently not able to predict or quantify any such potential impact with any degree of certainty.

If the launch or commercialization of Jelmyto is unsuccessful or perceived as disappointing, our share price could decline significantly and the long-term success of the product and our company could be harmed.

Jelmyto has only been studied in a limited number of patients and in limited populations.

3 unchanged sentences

New data relating to Jelmyto , including from spontaneous adverse event reports and post-marketing studies in the United States, and from other ongoing clinical studies, may result in changes to the product label and may adversely affect sales, or result in withdrawal of Jelmyto from the market.

The FDA and regulatory authorities in other jurisdictions may also consider the new data in reviewing potential marketing applications in other jurisdictions, or imposing post‑approval requirements.

If any of these actions were to occur, it could result in significant expense and delay or limit our ability to generate sales revenues.

16 unchanged sentences

Additionally, in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have developed digital materials and programs for our sales force to use in order to engage virtually with their target physicians when in-person engagement is not safe or feasible.

Beginning in the second quarter of 2021, our sales representatives have been able to engage in higher levels of in-person physician interaction than they were previously during the pandemic.

However, there can be no assurance that our sales representatives will continue to have in-person access to physicians as a result of the ongoing evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic (including the emergence of variants, such as the Delta variant), or that digital materials and virtual engagement will be effective at growing and sustaining prescription levels of Jelmyto .

Beginning in the second quarter of 2021, our territory business managers have been able to engage in higher levels of in-person physician interaction than they were previously during the pandemic.

However, there can be no assurance that our territory business managers will continue to have in-person access to physicians as a result of the ongoing evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic (including the emergence of variants), or that digital materials and virtual engagement will be effective at growing and sustaining prescription levels of Jelmyto .

Disruptions in the prescription volume of Jelmyto could also occur:

The market opportunities for Jelmyto and our product candidates may be smaller than we anticipate or limited to those patients who are ineligible for established therapies or for whom prior therapies have failed and may be small.*

13 unchanged sentences

Even if we obtain significant market share, because the potential target populations are small, we may never achieve profitability without obtaining regulatory approval for additional indications, including the use of the products as first- or second-line therapy.

For example, low-grade UTUC is a rare malignant tumor of the cells lining the urinary tract and there is

limited scientific literature or other research on the incidence and prevalence of low-grade UTUC.

If our estimates of the incidence and prevalence of low-grade UTUC are incorrect, Jelmyto ’s commercial viability may prove to be limited, which may negatively affect our financial results.

The FDA and other regulatory agencies strictly regulate the marketing and promotional claims that are made about drug products.

In particular, a product may not be promoted for uses or indications that are not approved by the FDA or such other regulatory agencies as reflected in the product’s approved labeling and may not be promoted based on overstated efficacy or omission of

important safety information.

For example, we cannot promote the use of our product Jelmyto in a manner that is inconsistent with the approved label, but we are permitted to share truthful and non-misleading information that is otherwise consistent with the product’s FDA approved labeling.

However, physicians are able, in their independent medical judgment, to use Jelmyto on their patients in an off-label manner, such as for the treatment of other urology indications.

To date, our clinical trials and other programs have involved small patient populations and because of the small sample size, the results of these clinical trials may be subject to substantial variability and may not be indicative of future results.

We initiated the Phase 3 ATLAS trial in December 2020 and are currently enrolling patients in this trial assessing UGN-102 with or without trans-urethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) compared to standard of care, TURBT.

If our clinical trials do not ultimately indicate that our product candidates are safe and effective for their intended use, the FDA may not approve any NDA that we may submit to market such product candidates, and our business would not be able to generate revenue from the sale of any such product candidates.

We initiated the Phase 3 ATLAS trial in December 2020 and until recently were enrolling patients in this trial assessing UGN-102 with or without TURBT compared to standard of care, TURBT.

Following discussions with the FDA, we plan to initiate a new single-arm Phase 3 trial of UGN-102 in low-grade, intermediate-risk, non-muscle invasive bladder cancer in the first quarter of 2022.

The design for this new trial will be similar to our Phase 2 OPTIMA II trial in that the patient population will have the same clinical characteristics, receive the same treatment regimen and undergo the same efficacy and safety assessments and qualitative follow-up.

However, there can be no assurance that the new Phase 3 trial will have a higher probability of clinical or regulatory success notwithstanding similarities in its design to our Phase 2 OPTIMA II trial. If our clinical trials do not ultimately indicate that our product candidates are safe and effective for their intended use, the FDA may not approve any NDA that we may submit to market such product candidates, and our business would not be able to generate revenue from the sale of any such product candidates.

Interim, topline and preliminary data from our clinical trials that we announce or publish from time to time may change as more patient data become available and are subject to audit and verification procedures that could result in material changes in the final data.

We may terminate the Allergan/AbbVie Agreement if Allergan or its affiliates challenges any of our patents licensed to Allergan and such patent challenge is not required under a court order or subpoena and is not a defense against a claim, action or proceeding asserted by us, our affiliates or licensees against Allergan, its affiliates or sublicensees.

In addition, Allergan may unilaterally terminate the Allergan/AbbVie Agreement for any reason upon advance notice.

If Allergan has the right to terminate the Allergan/AbbVie Agreement due to our uncured material breach, Allergan may elect to continue the agreement and reduce all future milestone and royalty payment obligations to us by a specified percentage.

In the event of any termination of the Allergan/AbbVie Agreement, Allergan will assign or grant a right of reference to any regulatory documentation related to RTGel to us, all rights and licenses to Allergan will terminate, and the license Allergan granted to us under their improvements to RTGel will continue.

For example, in August 2020, we announced that the Phase 2 APOLLO trial did not meet the primary endpoint, it is believed to be the result of BOTOX not effectively permeating the urothelium.

While we are continuing to explore the potential use of RTGel in combination with other products in AbbVie’s portfolio, there can be no assurance that the collaboration will result in the successful development of a product candidate.

If the Allergan/AbbVie Agreement, and any future collaborations that we enter into, do not result in the successful development and commercialization of products or if one of our collaborators terminates its agreement with us, we may not receive any future research funding or milestone or royalty payments under the collaboration.

For example, in August 2020, we announced that the Phase 2 APOLLO trial under the Allergan/AbbVie Agreement did not meet the primary endpoint. 

The data suggested that this result may have been due to BOTOX not effectively permeating the urothelium.

In November 2021, the Allergan/AbbVie Agreement was terminated.

If any future material collaborations that we enter into, do not result in the successful development and commercialization of products or if one of our collaborators terminates its agreement with us, we may not receive any future research funding or milestone or royalty payments under the collaboration.

In September 2011, the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act, or the America Invents Act ("AIA"), was signed into law.

The AIA includes a number of significant changes to U.S.

Moreover, the AIA and its implementation could increase the uncertainties and costs surrounding the prosecution of our patent applications and the enforcement or defense of our issued patents, all of which could harm our business and financial condition.

An important change introduced by the AIA is that, as of March 16, 2013, the United States transitioned to a “first-to-file” system for deciding which party should be granted a patent when two or more patent applications are filed by different parties claiming the same invention.

Furthermore, our ability to obtain and maintain valid and enforceable patents depends on whether the differences between our technology and the prior art allow our technology to be patentable over the prior art.

Since patent applications in the United States and most other countries are confidential for a period of time after filing, we cannot be certain that we were the first to either (i) file any patent application related to our product candidates or (ii) invent any of the inventions claimed in our patents or patent applications.

Since patent applications in the United States and most other countries are confidential for a period of time after filing, we cannot be certain that we were the first to either (i) file any patent application related to our product candidates or (ii) invent any of the inventions claimed in our patents or patent applications.

Among some of the other changes introduced by the AIA are changes that limit where a patentee may file a patent infringement suit and provide opportunities for third parties to challenge any issued patent in the USPTO.

This applies to all of our U.S.

patents, even those issued before March 16, 2013.

patents, even those issued before March 16, 2013.

Because of a lower evidentiary standard in USPTO proceedings compared to the evidentiary standard in a United States federal court necessary to invalidate a patent claim, a third party could potentially provide evidence in a USPTO proceeding sufficient for the USPTO to hold a claim invalid even though the same evidence would be insufficient to invalidate the claim if first presented in a district court action.

We have systems in place to remind us to pay these fees, and we employ an outside firm and rely on our outside counsel to pay these fees.

While an inadvertent lapse may sometimes be cured by payment of a late fee or by other means in accordance with the applicable

rules, there are many situations in which noncompliance can result in abandonment or lapse of the patent or patent application, resulting in partial or complete loss of patent rights in the relevant jurisdiction.

A significant portion of our intellectual property has been developed by our employees during their employment.

Under the Israeli Patent Law, 5727-1967, or the Patent Law, inventions conceived by an employee during the scope of his or her employment with a company are regarded as “service inventions.” The Israeli Compensation and Royalties Committee, or the Committee, a body constituted under the Patent Law, has previously held, in certain cases, that employees may be entitled to remuneration for service inventions that they develop during their service for a company despite their explicit waiver of such right.

Risks Related to Government Regulation

If the FDA does not conclude that UGN-102 satisfies the requirements under Section 505(b)(2) of the Federal Food Drug and Cosmetic Act, or Section 505(b)(2), or if the requirements for such product candidates are not as we expect, the approval pathway for these product candidates will likely take significantly longer, cost significantly more and entail significantly greater complications and risks than anticipated, and in either case may not be successful.

The Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act of 1984, also known as the Hatch-Waxman Act, added Section 505(b)(2) to the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act.

candidates by potentially decreasing the amount of nonclinical and clinical data that we would need to generate in order to obtain FDA approval.

However, while we believe that our product candidates are reformulations of existing drugs and, therefore, will not be treated as new chemical entities, or NCEs, the submission of an NDA under the Section 505(b)(2) pathway does not preclude the FDA from determining that the product candidate that is the subject of such submission is an NCE and therefore not eligible for review under such regulatory pathway.

If the FDA does not allow us to pursue the Section 505(b)(2) pathway as anticipated, we may need to conduct additional nonclinical experiments and clinical trials, provide additional data and information, and meet additional standards for regulatory approval.

If the FDA does not conclude that UGN-102 satisfies the requirements under Section

The Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act of 1984, also known as the Hatch-Waxman Act, added Section 505(b)(2) to the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act.

Section 505(b)(2) permits the filing of an NDA where at least some of the information required for approval comes from studies that were not conducted by or for the applicant, and for which the applicant has not received a right of reference, which could expedite the development program for UGN-102 and our other product candidates by potentially decreasing the amount of nonclinical and clinical data that we would need to generate in order to obtain FDA approval.

However, while we believe that our product candidates are reformulations of existing drugs and, therefore, will not be treated as new chemical entities ("NCEs"), the submission of an NDA under the Section 505(b)(2) pathway does not preclude the FDA from determining that the product candidate that is the subject of such submission is an NCE and therefore not eligible for review under such regulatory pathway.

If the FDA does not allow us to pursue the Section 505(b)(2) pathway as anticipated, we may need to conduct additional nonclinical experiments and clinical trials, provide additional data and information, and meet additional standards for regulatory approval.

If this were to occur, the time and financial resources required to obtain FDA approval for these product candidates, and complications and risks associated with these product candidates, would likely increase significantly.

Moreover, inability to pursue the Section 505(b)(2) pathway could result in new competitive products reaching the market more quickly than our product candidates, which would likely harm our competitive position and prospects.

Even if we are allowed to pursue the Section 505(b)(2) pathway, our product candidates may not receive the requisite approvals for commercialization.

In addition, notwithstanding the approval of a number of products by the FDA under Section 505(b)(2) certain competitors and others have objected to the FDA’s interpretation of Section 505(b)(2).

If the FDA’s interpretation of Section 505(b)(2) is successfully challenged, the FDA may be required to change its 505(b)(2) policies and practices, which could delay or even prevent the FDA from approving any NDA that we submit under Section 505(b)(2).

In addition, the pharmaceutical industry is highly competitive, and Section 505(b)(2) NDAs are subject to special requirements designed to protect the patent rights of sponsors of previously approved drugs that are referenced in a Section 505(b)(2) NDA.

However, even if the FDA ultimately denies such a petition, the FDA may substantially delay approval while it considers and responds to the petition.

In addition, even if we are able to utilize the Section 505(b)(2) regulatory pathway for our product candidates, there is no guarantee this would ultimately lead to faster product development or earlier approval.

Moreover, even if these product candidates are approved under the Section 505(b)(2) pathway, as the case may be, the approval may be subject to limitations on the indicated uses for which the products may be marketed or to other conditions of approval or may contain requirements for costly post-marketing testing and surveillance to monitor the safety or efficacy of the products.

In the United States, the pharmaceutical industry has been a particular focus of these efforts and has been significantly affected by major legislative initiatives.

For example, in March 2010, President Obama signed into law the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010, or collectively, the ACA, laws intended, among other things, to broaden access to health insurance, improve quality of care, and reduce or constrain the growth of healthcare spending.

an increase in the statutory minimum rebates a manufacturer must pay under the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program to 23.1% and 13% of the average manufacturer price for most branded and generic drugs, respectively;

a new Medicare Part D coverage gap discount program, in which manufacturers must now agree to offer 70% point-of-sale discounts on negotiated prices of applicable brand drugs to eligible beneficiaries during their coverage gap period, as a condition for the manufacturer’s outpatient drugs to be covered under Medicare Part D;

extension of manufacturers’ Medicaid rebate liability to covered drugs dispensed to individuals who are enrolled in Medicaid managed care organizations;

expansion of eligibility criteria for Medicaid programs by, among other things, allowing states to offer Medicaid coverage to additional individuals and by adding new mandatory eligibility categories for certain individuals with income at or below 133% of the Federal Poverty Level, thereby potentially increasing manufacturers’ Medicaid rebate liability;

extension of manufacturers’ Medicaid rebate liability to covered drugs dispensed to individuals who are enrolled in Medicaid managed care organizations;

expansion of the entities eligible for discounts under the Public Health Service pharmaceutical pricing program;

new requirements to report annually certain financial arrangements with physicians and teaching hospitals;

as defined in the ACA and its implementing regulations, including reporting any payment or “transfer of value” provided to physicians, as defined by such law, and teaching hospitals and any ownership and investment interests held by such physicians and their immediate family members during the preceding calendar year, which will be expanded beginning in 2022 to include reporting obligations with respect to financial relationships with certain additional healthcare providers;

Thus, the ACA will remain in effect in its current form.

Further, prior to the U.S.

Supreme Court ruling, on January 28, 2021, President Biden issued an executive order that initiated a special enrollment period for purposes of obtaining health insurance coverage through the ACA marketplace, which began on February 15, 2021 and will remain open through August 15, 2021.

The executive order also instructed certain governmental agencies to review and reconsider their existing policies and rules that limit access to healthcare, including among others, reexamining Medicaid demonstration projects and waiver programs that include work requirements, and policies that create unnecessary barriers to obtaining access to health insurance coverage through Medicaid or the ACA.

For example, in August 2011, President Obama signed into law the Budget Control Act of 2011, which, among other things, created the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction, or a Joint Selection Committee, to recommend to Congress proposals in spending reductions.

The Joint Select Committee did not achieve a targeted deficit reduction of an amount greater than $1.2 trillion for the years 2013 through 2021, triggering the legislation’s automatic reduction to several government programs.

This includes aggregate reductions to Medicare payments to healthcare providers of up to 2.0% per fiscal year, which started in 2013 and, due to subsequent legislative amendments to the statute, including the BBA, will stay in effect through 2030, except for a temporary suspension from May 1, 2020 through December 31, 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, unless additional Congressional action is taken.

In January 2013, President Obama signed into law the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, which, among other things, reduced Medicare payments to several categories of healthcare providers and increased the statute of limitations period for the government to recover overpayments to providers from three to five years. Further, the REFUND Act, which is included in the latest proposed infrastructure bill passed by the Senate, would require drug manufacturers to refund Medicare for any discarded drug that was packaged in a single-dose or single-use container, with the goal of reducing drug waste.

In addition, Congress is considering additional health reform measures as part of the budget reconciliation process.

Additionally, there have been several recent U.S.

Congressional inquiries and proposed and enacted legislation at the federal and state levels designed to, among other things, bring more transparency to drug pricing, review the relationship between pricing and manufacturer patient programs, reduce the cost of drugs under Medicare, and reform government program reimbursement methodologies for drugs.

At the federal level, the former Trump Administration used several means to propose or implement drug pricing reform, including through federal budget proposals, executive orders and policy initiatives.

For example, on July 24, 2020 and September 13, 2020, the Trump Administration announced several executive orders related to prescription drug pricing that attempted to implement several of the Administration’s proposals.

The FDA also released a final rule, effective November 30, 2020, implementing a portion of President Trump’s importation executive order announced in July 2020, providing guidance for states to build and submit importation plans for drugs from Canada.

Further, on November 20, 2020, the U.S.

Department of Health & Human Services (“HHS”) finalized a regulation removing safe harbor protection for price reductions from pharmaceutical manufacturers to plan sponsors under Part D, either directly or through pharmacy benefit managers, unless the price reduction is required by law.

implementation of the rule has been delayed by the Biden administration from January 1, 2022 to January 1, 2023 in response to ongoing litigation.

The implementation of the rule has been delayed by the Biden administration from January 1, 2022 to January 1, 2023 in response to ongoing litigation.

The rule also creates a new safe harbor for price reductions reflected at the point-of-sale, as well as a new safe harbor for certain fixed fee arrangements between pharmacy benefit managers and manufacturers, the implementation of which have also been delayed by the Biden administration until January 1, 2023.

On November 20, 2020, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”) issued an interim final rule implementing President Trump’s Most Favored Nation executive order, which would tie Medicare Part B payments for certain physician-administered drugs to the lowest price paid in other economically advanced countries.

The Most Favored Nation regulations mandate participation by identified Medicare Part B providers and will apply in all U.S.

states and territories for a seven-year period beginning January 1, 2021, and ending December 31, 2027.

On December 28, 2020, the United States District Court for the Northern District of California issued a nationwide preliminary injunction against implementation of the interim final rule.

On January 13, 2021, in a separate lawsuit brought by industry groups in the United States District Court of Maryland, the government defendants entered a joint motion to stay litigation on the condition that the government would not appeal the preliminary injunction granted in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California and that performance for any final regulation stemming from the Most Favored Nation Model interim final rule shall not commence earlier than sixty (60) days after publication of that regulation in the Federal Register.

Additionally, based on a recent executive order, the Biden administration expressed its intent to pursue certain policy initiatives to reduce drug prices.

As a result of litigation challenging the Most Favored Nation Model, on August 10, 2021, CMS published a proposed rule that seeks to rescind the Most Favored Nation Model interim final rule.

In July 2021, the Biden administration released an executive order, “Promoting Competition in the American Economy,”

with multiple provisions aimed at prescription drugs.

In response to Biden’s executive order, on September 9, 2021, HHS released a Comprehensive Plan for Addressing High Drug Prices that outlines principles for drug pricing reform and sets out a variety of potential legislative policies that Congress could pursue as well as potential administrative actions HHS can take to advance these principles.

No legislation or administrative actions have been finalized to implement these principles.

At the state level, legislatures have increasingly passed legislation and implemented regulations designed to control pharmaceutical and biological product pricing, including price or patient reimbursement constraints, discounts, restrictions on certain product access and marketing cost disclosure and transparency measures, and, in some cases, designed to encourage importation from other countries and bulk purchasing.

The federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, or HIPAA, among other things, imposes civil and criminal liability for knowingly and willfully executing, or attempting to execute, a scheme to defraud any healthcare benefit program, including public and private payors, or knowingly and willfully falsifying, concealing or covering up a material fact or making any materially false statement in connection with the delivery of or payment for healthcare benefits, items or services.

Additionally, HIPAA, as amended by the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act, or HITECH, and their implementing regulations, impose, among other things, specified requirements on covered entities, including certain healthcare providers, health plans, and healthcare clearinghouses, and their business associates as well as their covered subcontractors relating to the privacy, security and transmission of individually identifiable health information, including mandatory contractual terms and required implementation of certain safeguards of such information.

Among other things, HITECH makes HIPAA’s security standards

Regulation of privacy, data protection and data security has also become more stringent in the United States.

For example, California enacted legislation that has been dubbed the first “GDPR-like” law in the United States.

Known as the California Consumer Privacy Act, or CCPA, it creates new individual privacy rights for consumers (as that word is broadly defined in the law) and places increased privacy and security obligations on entities handling personal data of consumers or households.

Effective January 1, 2020, the CCPA requires covered companies to provide new disclosures to California consumers, provides such consumers new ways to opt-out of

certain sales of personal information, and allows for a new cause of action for data breaches.

The CCPA will be expanded substantially on January 1, 2023, when the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 (“CPRA”) becomes fully operative.

The CPRA will, among other things, give California residents the ability to limit use of certain sensitive personal information, establish restrictions on the retention of personal information, and expand the types of data breaches subject to the CCPA’s private right of action.
