IMO, from a long term perspective it will be to ASND's advantage to paint a picture with a slightly negative slant than the actual situation during the conf call for this Q.
This will keep expectations down for near future and the stock has already taken a beating so another few points will not make a significant difference.
This will provide them with some leeway in building a stronger future and addressing their current problems adequately.
On the other hand, if they provide a rosier_than_fact picture to bump up short term stock price they will find themselves struggling again with high expectations for next Qs and may not have adequate time for themselves to address all the problems they are now facing.
However, knowing ASND management why do I think I already know an answer to the question about what they are likely to do in the Conf call?
