Just to better clarify, the QIDP and it's fast-track are already in place for Brilacidin-ABSSSI and Phase 3 is also already a slam dunk. What is in question are the elements of QIDP fast-rack that will be applied. At least one and possibly up to all of the following are possible and will result from the FDA Phase 2 meeting.
Accelerated review only. (Reduces the review time between trials from > 10 months to ~ 6 months) Rolling review Surrogate endpoints FDA intensive guidance and organizational commitment 60 day FDA responses
The trifecta: rolling review with surrogate endpoints, intensive guidance and organizational commitment, 60 day BLA and NDA guaranteed response time.
Also, some of the elements depend on a sponsors ability to guarantee rapid marketing and product quality after approval. In CTIX's case that will require a partner or license.
