In order to absorb the incremental costs of the MPC-150-IM program in advanced heart failure in FY17, the Company has executed its planned operational streamlining and re-prioritization of projects. Cash outflows for Q1 FY17 were $21.2 million, a reduction of 28% from $29.4 million in the comparable FY16 quarter. This was achieved principally through reduced spend on commercial manufacturing, deprioritized Tier 2 clinical projects and reduced labor costs.
