Based on fourth-quarter 2020 estimated total revenue of $1.9 million, a continued reduction in operating expenses, and a strengthened cash position following the close of the Company's recent upsized financing of $27.6 million in gross proceeds, Viveve is positioned with the capital resources to support operations through year-end 2022, including the planned completion of its pivotal U.S. PURSUIT trial in stress urinary incontinence (SUI).

I credit the talented team at Viveve for achieving the results reported this quarter as we close out a year of unprecedented challenges," said Scott Durbin, Viveve's chief executive officer. Importantly, our operational efficiency and the capital raised from our January public offering provide the Company with the resources to support our operations through 2022.

Viveve continues to advance its clinical development program in SUI. Recently reported FDA-approved changes to the U.S. pivotal PURSUIT trial protocol are intended to strengthen the overall study and its potential to achieve its primary efficacy endpoint. Study changes, including an increase in the trial's size and more strict patient selection criteria, were a result of guidance from Viveve's Clinical Advisory Board upon review of positive results from the Company's SUI feasibility and preclinical studies. Viveve received FDA approval of its IDE application to conduct the multicenter, randomized, double-blinded, sham-controlled PURSUIT trial for improvement of SUI in women in July 2020 and FDA approval of its requested amendments to the IDE protocol as reported on December 10, 2020. The initiation of the trial was reported on January 21, 2021. If positive, results from the PURSUIT trial may support a new SUI indication in the U.S.
