We are a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the acquisition, development and commercialization of novel therapeutics for the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders. We are a wholly-owned subsidiary of Roivant Sciences, a company focused on the acquisition, development and commercialization of late-stage product candidates that are non-strategic, deprioritized or under-resourced at other biopharmaceutical companies. Our near-term focus is to develop RVT-101 for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia. We acquired the worldwide rights to RVT-101 from GlaxoSmithKline in December 2014. We plan to commence a Phase 3 pivotal program of RVT-101 for the treatment of mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease in the fourth quarter of 2015. Should our Phase 3 program be successful, we plan to rapidly seek regulatory approval and commercialization of RVT-101 in the United States and the European Union. In the long-term, we intend to develop a pipeline of product candidates to comprehensively address the cognitive, behavioral and functional components of dementia.
