ITEM 8.01                      OTHER EVENTS

 

On February 27, 2014, Anacor Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Anacor) issued a press release titled “Anacor Pharmaceuticals Announces Successful Completion of End-of-Phase 2 Meeting with FDA for the Treatment of Mild-to-Moderate Atopic Dermatitis with AN2728.” A copy of this press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Anacor’s press release contains forward-looking statements, including statements regarding the safety and efficacy of and our milestones and clinical plans for AN2728.  These forward looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual levels of activity, performance or achievement to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements, including risks related to whether the FDA will accept the proposed Phase III clinical results for our planned AN2728 clinical studies as sufficient for regulatory approval, the timing of the initiation of those studies, whether those Phase III studies will show AN2728 is safe and efficacious in mild-to-moderate atopic dermatitis, whether we can successfully complete the other requirements of the regulatory approval process of new drug candidates and whether our long-term safety studies will support the continued intermittent use of AN2728. These and other related risk factors are set forth in Anacor’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the heading “Risk Factors” and Anacor’s subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for additional description of such factors. These statements reflect the views of Anacor as of the date of this press release with respect to future events and, except as required by law, it undertakes no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise after the date of this press release.
