New biopharma entrants must fund discovery, clinical trials, GMP manufacturing, and FDA work long before revenue, and a single drug program can take 10-15 years and more than $1 billion. In chronic NTM, a small patient pool makes those fixed costs harder to recover, so fewer firms can credibly enter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-green-section\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-box-green-section4\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"title-row-green-section\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePatent and exclusivity protection\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"content-row-green-section blur_box\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAN2 Therapeutics, Inc.’s epetraborole assets can face a lower threat of new entrants when patents and regulatory exclusivity block fast copycats.
