Filana Therapeutics, Inc. (formerly Cassava Sciences, Inc.) is a clinical-stage biotechnology company based in Austin, Texas. Our mission is to develop transformative medicines to improve the lives of patients with central nervous system (CNS) disorders, such as Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC)-related epilepsy and other diseases associated with dysregulation or overexpression of filamin A. Our science is based on modulating the activity of a critical protein in the brain for patients with certain CNS disorders, such as TSC. Our lead therapeutic drug candidate, simufilam, was under clinical evaluation for the proposed treatment of Alzheimer’s disease in two Phase 3 clinical studies through 2024, when all ongoing clinical trials for simufilam in Alzheimer’s disease were discontinued. The phase out of the Company’s Alzheimer's disease development program was completed in the second quarter…4 From its latest annual report

Risk factors and legal proceedings

The risks FILANA THERAPEUTICS, INC. names in Item 1A of its 10-K filed Mar 12, 2026: 75 risks under these headings, as written.4

  • Risks Related to the Discovery, Development, and Commercialization of Our Product Candidates
  • Risks Related to Government Regulation and Other Legal Compliance Matters
  • Risks Related to Our Intellectual Property
  • Risks Related to Our Business and Operations
  • Risks Related to Financial Condition and Capital Requirements
  • Risks Related to the Ownership of Our Common Stock
  • We have no approved products. Our product candidates are subject to significant development risk, and we may never achieve regulatory approval or commercial success
  • The FDA has placed a full clinical hold on our planned clinical studies, which may cause our business to suffer.
  • Our product candidates are based on new scientific approaches and novel technology, which makes it difficult to predict the time and cost of product candidate development and likelihood of success.
  • The drug development process, the clinical trial process and the enrollment and retention of patients in clinical trials could be challenging, expensive and time-consuming for the indications that we are targeting.
  • We are heavily dependent on the success of simufilam, our lead product candidate, which is under development. If this product candidate is unsuccessful in clinical development or does not receive regulatory approval, we will be unable to generate product revenue and our business will be harmed.
  • We have a limited operating history in our business targeting TSC-related epilepsy and no history of product approvals for commercial sale, which may make it difficult to evaluate our current business and predict our future success and viability.
The other 68 risks
  • We may not be able to obtain orphan drug exclusivity for our product candidates in the United States or the European Union.
  • Our inability to develop formulations of simufilam appropriate for pediatric patients under the age of 12 could delay or prevent clinical trials of simufilam in that population.
  • We cannot give any assurance that we will file for regulatory approval for any of our product candidates or that, if we file for approval, our product candidates will receive regulatory approval, which is necessary before they can be commercialized.
  • There can be no assurance that promising results of preclinical studies or Phase 1 or Phase 2 clinical trials with simufilam will be reproduced in later stage studies, including Phase 3 studies.
  • Results observed in preclinical studies and early stage clinical trials for simufilam are not sufficient evidence of drug safety or efficacy for purposes of regulatory approval.
  • We may encounter substantial delays in the clinical studies that we conduct or may not be able to conduct or complete our clinical studies on the timelines we expect, if at all.
  • Governmental actions with respect to U.S. drug prices could negatively impact our business.
  • If physicians and patients do not accept and use our drugs, we will not achieve sufficient product revenues and our business will suffer.
  • We may not be successful in developing our product candidates in neurodegeneration or other forms of central nervous system disorders .
  • Interim, “top-line” and preliminary data from our clinical trials that we announce or publish from time to time are likely to change as more patient data become available and are subject to audit and verification procedures that could result in material changes in the final dataset.
  • We currently do not have the in-house capabilities to manufacture or commercialize our product candidates, and we rely on a third-party commercial drug manufacturing organization for supplies of simufilam. If we are unable to develop our own manufacturing, sales, marketing and distribution capabilities, or if we are not successful in contracting with third parties for these services on favorable terms, or at all, our product revenues could be adversely impacted.
  • We rely on third parties to conduct our studies and some aspects of our research, and such third parties may not perform satisfactorily, which could delay or harm our studies, research, and testing.
  • We may not be successful in our efforts to expand our technology or product candidates in other indications.
  • If we fail to successfully identify and develop additional product candidates, our commercial opportunity will be limited.
  • Our clinical studies may fail to demonstrate substantial evidence of the safety and efficacy of our product candidates and may suffer from improper or inadequate study design or enrollment criteria, which would prevent, delay, or limit the scope of regulatory approval and commercialization.
  • The market opportunities for simufilam, if approved, may be smaller than we anticipate.
  • We face significant competition in an environment of rapid technological and scientific change, and there is a possibility that additional competitors may achieve regulatory approval before us or develop therapies that are safer, more advanced, or more effective than ours, any of which may harm our business operations.
  • Our financial condition and operating results could be adversely impacted by unfavorable results of legal proceedings, government investigations or allegations and other claims.
  • Additional future litigation involving us could be costly and time-consuming to defend.
  • If we are ultimately unable to file for and obtain regulatory approval for our product candidates, we will be unable to generate product revenue, and our business will be substantially harmed.
  • Our application to register our new corporate name as a trademark may be denied, which could adversely affect our business.
  • Our ability to market and promote our product candidates will be determined and limited by FDA-approved labeling.
  • The FDA may change the statutory requirements for drug approval.
  • Our employees, independent contractors, consultants, commercial partners, and vendors may engage in misconduct or other improper activities, including noncompliance with regulatory standards and requirements.
  • If we fail to comply or stay in compliance with the complex set of federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations that apply to our business, we could suffer severe consequences that could materially and adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.
  • Government agencies may establish and promulgate usage guidelines that could limit the use of our product candidates.
  • Our product candidates may cause undesirable side effects or have other properties that could halt their clinical development, prevent their regulatory approval, limit their commercial potential, or result in significant negative consequences.
  • We may be subject to legal liability associated with clinical trials.
  • Our insurance policies may be inadequate and potentially expose us to unrecoverable risks.
  • If our product candidates receive regulatory approval, we and our collaborators will be subject to ongoing FDA obligations and continued regulatory review, such as continued safety reporting requirements, and we and our collaborators may also be subject to additional FDA post-marketing obligations or new regulations, all of which may result in significant expense and limit our and our collaborators’ ability to commercialize our potential drugs.
  • Enacted and future legislation may increase the difficulty and cost for us to commercialize our product candidates and may reduce the prices we are able to obtain for our product candidates.
  • Our relationships with customers and payors will be subject to applicable anti-kickback, fraud and abuse, transparency, and other healthcare laws and regulations, which could expose us to criminal sanctions, civil penalties, exclusion from government healthcare programs, contractual damages, reputational harm, administrative burdens, and diminished profits and future earnings.
  • If we are unable to obtain and maintain sufficient patent protection for any product candidates, our competitors could develop and commercialize products similar or identical to ours, and our ability to successfully commercialize any product candidates we may develop may be adversely affected.
  • Issued patents covering our product candidates and other technologies could be found invalid or unenforceable if challenged in court or before administrative bodies in the U.S. or abroad.
  • If we do not obtain patent term extension and data exclusivity for any product candidates we may develop, our business may be materially harmed.
  • If we are unable to protect the confidentiality of our trade secrets, our business and competitive position would be harmed.
  • If any of our patent applications do not issue as patents in any jurisdiction, we may not be able to compete effectively.
  • If the scope of any patent protection we obtain is not sufficiently broad, or if we lose any of our patent protection, our ability to prevent our competitors from commercializing similar or identical technology and product candidates would be adversely affected.
  • We may not be able to protect our intellectual property and proprietary rights throughout the world.
  • Obtaining and maintaining our patent protection depends on compliance with various procedural, document submission, fee payment, and other requirements imposed by government patent agencies, and our patent protection could be reduced or eliminated for non-compliance with these requirements.
  • Changes in U.S. patent law could diminish the value of patents in general, thereby impairing our ability to protect our products.
  • We may be subject to claims challenging the inventorship of our patents and other intellectual property.
  • We may not be successful in obtaining necessary rights to our product candidates or other technologies.
  • Our expansion into additional indications may face challenges if we are unable to obtain additional intellectual property rights that may be necessary or desirable.
  • We may be subject to claims that our employees, consultants, or advisors have wrongfully used or disclosed alleged trade secrets of their current or former employers or claims asserting ownership of what we regard as our own intellectual property which may prevent or delay the development of our product candidates.
  • We may become involved in lawsuits to protect or enforce our patents and other intellectual property rights, which could be expensive, time consuming, and unsuccessful.
  • Intellectual property rights do not necessarily address all potential threats.
  • We have been and may in the future be subject to lawsuits and governmental investigations and inquiries.
  • Our current dependence on single source suppliers for our drug substance and drug product could materially adversely affect our ability to manufacture our product candidates and materially increase our costs.
  • Inadequate Congressional funding for the FDA, the SEC and other U.S. government agencies or comparable foreign regulatory authorities, including from government shut downs, or other disruptions to these agencies’ operations, could hinder these agencies’ ability to hire and retain key leadership and other personnel, prevent new products and services from being developed or commercialized in a timely manner or otherwise prevent government agencies from performing normal business functions on which the operation of our business may rely, which could negatively impact our business.
  • Our reliance on third parties for both the supply and manufacture of materials for our product candidates carries the risk that we will not have sufficient quality or quantities of such materials or product candidates, or that such supply will not be available to us at an acceptable cost, which could delay, prevent, or impair our development or commercialization efforts.
  • Our employees, principal investigators, consultants and vendors may engage in misconduct or other improper activities, including noncompliance with regulatory standards and requirements and insider trading.
  • Our disclosure controls and procedures may not prevent or detect all errors or acts of fraud.
  • Failure to comply with laws regarding data privacy could expose us to risk of enforcement actions and penalties under such laws.
  • Ownership of our corporate headquarters and property leasing are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties.
  • Our internal computer systems, or those used by third parties on whom we rely, may fail or suffer other breakdowns, cyberattacks, or information security breaches that could compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of such systems and data, result in material disruptions of our development programs and business operations, risk disclosure of confidential, financial, or proprietary information, and affect our reputation.
  • Our reliance on third parties requires us to share our proprietary information, which increases the possibility that a competitor will discover this information or that our proprietary information will be misappropriated or inadvertently disclosed.
  • Our business involves environmental risks that may result in liability for us.
  • Business disruptions and lack of appropriate levels of commercial insurance could seriously harm our future revenue and financial condition and increase our costs and expenses.
  • Social media platforms have significantly altered the dynamics of corporate communications and present risks and challenges, some of which are and may continue to be unknown to us.
  • We are a small company with a limited number of employees. We are highly dependent on our key personnel, and if we are not successful in attracting, motivating, and retaining highly qualified personnel, we may not be able to successfully implement our business strategy.
  • We may need to cease our operations if we are unable to attract and retain key personnel.
  • If our current research collaborators or scientific advisors terminate their relationships with us or develop relationships with a competitor, our ability to continue our business operations could be adversely affected.
  • Our business may be impacted by political events, war, terrorism, business interruptions and other geopolitical events and uncertainties beyond our control.
  • Our efforts to minimize the likelihood and impact of a cybersecurity incident may not be successful and our business could be negatively affected by a data breach or other cybersecurity threat or other disruption to our operations, which could result in legal claims against us or could give rise to substantial financial costs to redress any such cybersecurity incident and could harm our relationship with vendors, clinical study participants or regulators.
  • We have incurred significant net losses in each period since our inception and anticipate that we will continue to incur net losses for the foreseeable future.
  • We have broad discretion in the use of our capital resources, including the net proceeds from any of our financing transactions, and we may not use them effectively.
  • We have no product revenues and may never achieve revenues or profitability based on product revenues.

Legal proceedings

We are, and from time to time, we may become involved in litigation or other legal proceedings and claims, including U.S. government inquiries, investigations and Citizen Petitions submitted to FDA. In addition, we have received and from time to time may receive inquiries from government authorities relating to matters arising from the ordinary course of business. The outcome of these proceedings is inherently uncertain. Regardless of outcome, legal proceedings can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources, and other factors. At this time, no assessment can be made as to their likely outcome or whether the outcome will be material to us except as disclosed in this Annual Report on Form 10-K in Note 11 to our consolidated financial statements entitled, “Contingencies.” We believe that our total provisions for legal matters are adequate based upon currently available information. Additional information regarding our legal proceedings is included in the “Contingencies” note.
