Medical Advice
This website provides selected information about a range of disease topics. Like any printed material, it may become out of date over time. This website is not designed to give specific medical advice and should not be relied on as doing so. CSC recommends that any user requiring medical advice should consult a physician or other medical professional.

Forward Looking Statements
This website may contain information which is forward-looking and involves risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those reflected in the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, without limitation, risks associated with the inherent uncertainty of pharmaceutical research, product development, clinical trials, clinical research, seeking regulatory approval and product commercialization, as well as the impact of competitive products, patents, product liability and third-party reimbursement risks associated with the pharmaceutical industry, and the other risks and uncertainties detailed from time to time in CSC's annual reports.

Product development involves a high degree of risk. Only a small number of research and development programs result in the commercialization of a product. Success in preclinical and early clinical trials does not ensure that later stage or large scale clinical trials will be successful. Many important factors affect CSC's ability to successfully develop and commercialize therapeutic candidates, including the ability to obtain and maintain necessary patents and licenses, to demonstrate safety and/or efficacy of therapeutic candidates at each stage of the clinical trial process, to overcome technical hurdles that may arise, to meet applicable regulatory standards, to receive required regulatory approvals, to be capable of producing therapeutic candidates in commercial quantities at reasonable costs, to compete successfully against other products and to market products successfully. There can be no assurance CSC will be successful in its efforts to develop and commercialize new products.

The contents of this website do not purport to provide any financial, investment or professional advice. Nothing on the pages of this website shall be deemed to constitute the provision of financial, investment or professional advice in any way. No information contained on this website constitutes or shall be deemed to constitute an invitation to invest or otherwise deal in stock of CSC.

Should any visitor to this website make comments or ask questions through the feedback mechanisms located on this website, CSC shall have no obligation of any kind with regard to such information and CSC shall be free to reproduce, use, disclose and distribute the information to others without limitation.
