Forward Guidance

Cara expects that its existing unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and available-for-sale marketable securities as of December 31, 2020 will be sufficient to fund its currently anticipated operating expenses and capital expenditures into 2023, without giving effect to any potential milestone payments or potential product revenue under existing collaborations.
