A couple things stand out to me that make that drug & trial inferior.

First, it is IV administered compared to AUPH's oral (pill) form. They require office visits every couple weeks for IV. Just ask yourself if you would rather take a pill or go to the doctor every couple weeks to be stuck with an IV.

Second, there is no steroid taper in their trial. Patients maintain high-dose steroids throughout trial. Steroid taper is one big reason physicians are so excited about Voc.

These are two huge differences, and that's not even discussing efficacy or safety.
