Forward Guidance
Cara expects that its existing unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and available-for-sale marketable securities as of September 30, 2021, including the milestone payments received in October 2021 of $65.0 million from Vifor and VFMCRP, will be sufficient to fund its currently anticipated operating expenses and capital expenditures through 2023, without giving effect to any additional potential milestone payments or potential product revenue under existing collaborations.
