The [...***...] Development Plan shall contain all relevant information and reports required from Cambridge and Prestwick, including but not limited to: Prestwick’s estimated financial requirements to submit and pursue the IND; an estimate of timelines for IND submissions; a plan of the parties’ strategy for submission of an IND for the first indications (as referred to in clause 3.4); and relevant GANTT charts wherever needed.
