The injectable pharmaceutical products markets are highly competitive, and if we are unable to compete successfully, our revenue will decline and our business will be harmed.

The markets for injectable pharmaceutical products are highly competitive, rapidly changing and undergoing consolidation. Abraxane^® competes, directly or indirectly, with the primary taxanes in the market place, including Bristol-Myers Squibb’s Taxol^® and its generic equivalents and Sanofi-Aventis’ Taxotere^® and other cancer therapies. Many pharmaceutical companies have developed and are marketing, or are developing, alternative formulations of paclitaxel and other cancer therapies that may compete directly or indirectly with Abraxane^®. In addition, Abraxane currently competes with other cytotoxic agents outside of the taxane class such as capecitabine, gemcitabine, ixabepilone and navelbine. Many of our competitors have significantly greater research and development, financial, sales and marketing, manufacturing, regulatory and other resources than we do. As a result, they may be able to devote greater resources to the development, manufacture, marketing or sale of their products, receive greater resources and support for their products, initiate or withstand substantial price competition, more readily take advantage of acquisition or other opportunities, or otherwise more successfully market their products.

Any reduction in demand for our products could lead to a decrease in prices, fewer customer orders, reduced revenues, reduced margins, reduced levels of profitability, or loss of market share. These competitive pressures could adversely affect our business and operating results.
