Reviva Pharmaceuticals (RVPH) is a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company focused on the development of novel therapies, primarily for central nervous system (CNS) disorders. As such, the company is primarily engaged in research and development and conducting clinical trials for its drug candidates.

Therefore, Reviva Pharmaceuticals does not currently have major commercial customers in the traditional sense, as its products are still in the development and regulatory approval phases and are not yet commercially available for sale to other companies or individuals.

Should their drug candidates receive regulatory approval and be commercialized in the future, their customers would likely be:

• Large pharmaceutical companies (through licensing agreements or partnerships for commercialization and distribution).
• Pharmaceutical distributors.
• Hospitals and healthcare providers.
• Pharmacies.

However, these are potential future customers rather than current major customers actively purchasing commercial products from Reviva Pharmaceuticals.

1. Binary Clinical and Regulatory Outcome Risk: Reviva Pharmaceuticals' business heavily depends on the successful development and regulatory approval of its lead drug candidate, brilaroxazine, which is currently in late-stage clinical trials for schizophrenia. Any negative or lukewarm clinical trial data, or a requirement from the FDA for additional Phase 3 trials beyond current plans, could lead to significant delays, a sharp decline in stock value, and jeopardize the company's future prospects.
2. Financial Viability and Dilution Risk: As a clinical-stage company with no approved products or revenue, Reviva Pharmaceuticals consistently operates at a net loss and has a limited cash runway. The company frequently needs to raise additional capital through equity offerings, which has led to significant dilution for existing shareholders. The company has also disclosed "substantial doubt" about its ability to continue as a going concern, indicating ongoing financial challenges.
3. Intense Competitive Landscape: If brilaroxazine receives regulatory approval, it will enter a competitive market for schizophrenia treatments. Reviva Pharmaceuticals will face established pharmaceutical companies and well-funded biotechs with significant marketing capabilities and existing drugs, which could make it challenging to gain substantial market share.

The most prominent clear emerging threat to Reviva Pharmaceuticals is

KarXT (xanomeline-trospium) from Bristol Myers Squibb (via its acquisition of Karuna Therapeutics).

KarXT is an investigational drug for schizophrenia and psychosis in Alzheimer's disease with a novel mechanism of action (M4/M1 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor agonist). It has demonstrated positive results in Phase 3 trials for schizophrenia and its New Drug Application (NDA) has been accepted by the FDA with a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) date in September 2024. If approved, KarXT would enter the market as a significant new competitor in the schizophrenia treatment landscape, potentially offering a differentiated profile compared to existing and pipeline atypical antipsychotics like Reviva's brilaroxazine (RP5063), which is currently in Phase 3 trials for schizophrenia.

Brilaroxazine (RP5063)

• Schizophrenia: Brilaroxazine is in late-stage clinical development for schizophrenia. The potential addressable market is for the 24 million people living with schizophrenia globally.
• Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD): The addressable market for ADHD is projected to reach $29.3 billion globally by 2028.
• Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH): The addressable market for PAH is anticipated to reach $11 billion globally by 2030. Brilaroxazine has received Orphan Drug Designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for PAH.
• Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF): Brilaroxazine has also received FDA Orphan Drug Designation for IPF. In the U.S., IPF affects approximately 150,000 individuals, with 48,000 new diagnoses annually.
• Combined Market (Schizophrenia, Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension, and Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis): Collectively, including schizophrenia, PAH, and IPF, these indications represent a combined market opportunity of greater than $70 billion globally.
• Other Neuropsychiatric Indications: Reviva intends to develop brilaroxazine for bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, behavioral and psychotic symptoms of dementia or Alzheimer's disease, and Parkinson's disease psychosis. No specific addressable market sizes for these indications were explicitly identified for brilaroxazine.
• Psoriasis: Brilaroxazine is in preclinical development for the treatment of psoriasis as a topical gel. No specific addressable market size was explicitly identified for brilaroxazine in psoriasis.

RP1208

• Depression and Obesity: RP1208 is in preclinical development for the potential treatment of depression and obesity. No specific addressable market sizes were explicitly identified for RP1208 in these indications.

1. Regulatory Approval and Commercialization of Brilaroxazine for Schizophrenia: Reviva Pharmaceuticals' primary focus is advancing brilaroxazine (RP5063) for the treatment of schizophrenia. The company has successfully completed its Phase 3 RECOVER open-label extension study, demonstrating sustained efficacy and a well-tolerated safety profile for brilaroxazine in schizophrenia patients. Reviva is targeting a New Drug Application (NDA) submission for brilaroxazine in schizophrenia by the fourth quarter of 2026. Successful approval and subsequent commercial launch of brilaroxazine for this indication would be the most immediate and significant driver of revenue growth.
2. Expansion of Brilaroxazine into Additional Neuropsychiatric Indications: Beyond schizophrenia, Reviva intends to develop brilaroxazine for other central nervous system (CNS) disorders, including bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder (MDD), and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The potential to expand brilaroxazine's indications into these large neuropsychiatric markets would significantly broaden its patient population and sales potential, driving future revenue growth.
3. Development and Potential Approval of Brilaroxazine for Inflammatory and Cardiometabolic Diseases: Brilaroxazine has shown promising nonclinical activity for inflammatory diseases such as psoriasis, pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). The drug has received Orphan Drug Designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for both PAH and IPF. Furthermore, a European patent covering the use of brilaroxazine for pulmonary fibrosis was recently granted in November 2025. Advancing these programs through clinical trials and achieving regulatory approvals in these high-unmet-need areas could unlock new revenue streams for Reviva.
