The filing communication letter, also referred to as the Day 74 Letter, confirmed that the NDA had been accepted for review by the FDA through the Accelerated Approval Program and set a user fee goal date of August 22, 2020 under the Prescription Drug User Fee Act (the "PDUFA"). The Company is conducting an ongoing confirmatory postmarketing trial, VALOR-CKD (also known as TRCA-303), as part of the Accelerated Approval Program. On July 14, 2020, the Company received a notification from the FDA (the &#8220;Notification&#8221;) stating that, as part of its ongoing review of the Company&#8217;s NDA, the FDA has identified deficiencies that preclude discussion of labeling and postmarketing requirements/commitments at this time. The FDA stated that the Notification does not reflect a final decision on the information under review.</span></div><div style="text-indent:18pt;margin-top:10pt;margin-bottom:10pt;"><span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255, 0.0);color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:139%;">The Notification does not specify the deficiencies identified by the FDA. The Company plans to work with the FDA to identify and seek to resolve the deficiencies. The Company has no current plans to modify or suspend its ongoing confirmatory postmarketing trial, VALOR-CKD. However, at the time the Company is unable to evaluate whether it will be able to address the FDA's concerns. </span></div><div style="text-indent:18pt;margin-top:10pt;margin-bottom:10pt;"><span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255, 0.0);color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:139%;">On July 15, 2020, the Company issued a press release announcing its receipt of the Notification.

Forward-looking statements relate to expectations concerning matters that are not historical facts. Words such as &#8220;projects,&#8221; &#8220;believes,&#8221; &#8220;anticipates,&#8221; &#8220;plans,&#8221; &#8220;expects,&#8221; &#8220;intends,&#8221; &#8220;may,&#8221; &#8220;will,&#8221; &#8220;could,&#8221; &#8220;should,&#8221; &#8220;would,&#8221; and similar words and expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Any statements contained herein which do not describe historical facts, including, statements regarding the potential receipt and timing of the FDA&#8217;s approval of the NDA, the Company&#8217;s expectations with regard to its interactions and communications with the FDA, plans, and expectations as to the PDUFA date are forward-looking statements which involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in such forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, without limitation, any deficiencies the FDA may identify with respect to veverimer and whether the Company will be able to address the issues that may relate to those deficiencies, the receipt of regulatory approval for veverimer, the Company&#8217;s ability to market and sell veverimer, if approved, the Company&#8217;s ability to manufacture veverimer, and risks associated with our business prospects, financial results and business operations. These and other factors that may affect our future business prospects, results and operations are identified and described in more detail in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the &#8220;SEC&#8221;), including the Company&#8217;s most recent Annual Report filed on Form 10-K and our subsequently filed Quarterly Report(s) on Form 10-Q. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this filing. Except as required by applicable law, the Company does not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results, later events or circumstances or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.</span></div><div style="position:relative;width:100%;height:43pt;"><div style="position:absolute;bottom:0;width:100%;"><div

Item 8.01
Other Events.
Tricida, Inc. (the "Company") submitted its New Drug Application (the "NDA") for veverimer to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the "FDA") through the Accelerated Approval Program in August 2019. The filing communication letter, also referred to as the Day 74 Letter, confirmed that the NDA had been accepted for review by the FDA through the Accelerated Approval Program and set a user fee goal date of August 22, 2020 under the Prescription Drug User Fee Act (the "PDUFA"). The Company is conducting an ongoing confirmatory postmarketing trial, VALOR-CKD (also known as TRCA-303), as part of the Accelerated Approval Program. On July 14, 2020, the Company received a notification from the FDA (the "Notification") stating that, as part of its ongoing review of the Company's NDA, the FDA has identified deficiencies that preclude discussion of labeling and postmarketing requirements/commitments at this time. The FDA stated that the Notification does not reflect a final decision on the information under review.
The Notification does not specify the deficiencies identified by the FDA. The Company plans to work with the FDA to identify and seek to resolve the deficiencies. The Company has no current plans to modify or suspend its ongoing confirmatory postmarketing trial, VALOR-CKD. However, at the time the Company is unable to evaluate whether it will be able to address the FDA's concerns.
On July 15, 2020, the Company issued a press release announcing its receipt of the Notification. A copy of the Company's press release is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated into this Item 8.01 by reference.
By filing this information, the Company makes no admission as to the materiality of any information in this report. The information contained in this report is intended to be considered in the context of the Company's filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") and other public announcements that the Company makes, by press release or otherwise, from time to time. The Company undertakes no duty or obligation to publicly update or revise the information contained in this report, although it may do so from time to time as its management believes is appropriate. Any such updating may be made through the filing of other reports or documents with the Commission, through press releases or through other public disclosure.
Forward Looking Statements
This current report on Form 8-K contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act"). Forward-looking statements relate to expectations concerning matters that are not historical facts. Words such as "projects," "believes," "anticipates," "plans," "expects," "intends," "may," "will," "could," "should," "would," and similar words and expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Any statements contained herein which do not describe historical facts, including, statements regarding the potential receipt and timing of the FDA's approval of the NDA, the Company's expectations with regard to its interactions and communications with the FDA, plans, and expectations as to the PDUFA date are forward-looking statements which involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in such forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, without limitation, any deficiencies the FDA may identify with respect to veverimer and whether the Company will be able to address the issues that may relate to those deficiencies, the receipt of regulatory approval for veverimer, the Company's ability to market and sell veverimer, if approved, the Company's ability to manufacture veverimer, and risks associated with our business prospects, financial results and business operations. These and other factors that may affect our future business prospects, results and operations are identified and described in more detail in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), including the Company's most recent Annual Report filed on Form 10-K and our subsequently filed Quarterly Report(s) on Form 10-Q. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this filing. Except as required by applicable law, the Company does not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results, later events or circumstances or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
