We do not currently generate product revenue as we are focused on the research and development of LB 102. Our future revenue will depend on obtaining regulatory approval for LB 102 and subsequent commercial sales of the drug in the United States and other markets. If approved we expect to derive revenue from the sale of oral and long acting injectable formulations of LB 102 to healthcare providers and patients.
