Forward-looking statements relate to future events, including, but not limited to, statements regarding future clinical development, efficacy, safety and therapeutic potential of clinical product candidates, including expectations as to reporting of data, conduct and timing and potential future clinical activity and milestones and expectations regarding the initiation, design and reporting of data from clinical trials. Forward-looking statements are often identified by the words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “intend,” “foresee,” “should,” “would,” “could,” “may,” “estimate,” “outlook” and similar expressions, including the negative thereof. The absence of these words, however, does not mean that the statements are not forward-looking.

You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties that affect the Company’s business, including those described in the “Risk Factors” section of its latest Annual Report on Form 20-F, reports on Form 6-K and other documents furnished or filed from time to time by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Wishbone Day 2023

Mereo marks Wishbone Day to raise awareness of Osteogenesis Imperfecta

Every year on 6 May, people across the globe come together to mark Wishbone Day, an international awareness-raising day for Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI), a rare, genetic condition that affects the development of collagen, an integral component of bones, teeth and many other parts of the body.

In the run-up to this year’s events, the Mereo team came together and proudly wore yellow to show our support for Wishbone Day

Every year on 6 May, people across the globe come together to mark Wishbone Day

Wishbone Day is an international initiative created by the Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) community to raise awareness about OI and the impact that it has on people living with OI. OI is a rare, genetic condition affecting the production of collagen, a key component in the development of bones. Children and adults with OI have bones that break easily, often from little or no trauma. However, OI is more than just fragile bones because collagen is an essential component of many systems in the body. Other potential impacts of OI include pain, fatigue, spinal damage and progressive deformity, brittle teeth that break easily and hearing loss.

This year, along with others in the OI community, the Mereo team proudly wore yellow to show our support for Wishbone Day. We also reflected on the experiences of growing up with OI. Recently, Thines Ganeshamoorthy, Trustee at the Brittle Bone Society shared his experiences, and we were struck by the challenges of living with a rare disease alongside the complexities and joy of moving from childhood, to adolescence, to adulthood. Thines speaks of the importance of having the freedom to explore what it was to be a young person and not to be defined by his condition. He also shared that his wish for others with OI is to feel empowered, supported as they grow up and enter the workforce and that they can live life to the fullest. Hear more from Thines by watching the video.

For more information on OI you can visit the websites of the Brittle Bone Society in the UK, or the European federation Osteogenesis Imperfecta Federation Europe (OIFE) and its national member associations, or the US Osteogenesis Imperfecta Foundation (OIF).
