Thanks for the added color.

Just the usual ones, IMO. E.g., for Sirna-027, the RNAi-based drug for the treatment of wet AMD from RNAI and AGN, I expect the FDA to ask for the standard data package in this indication: two large, randomized trials, each with two years of treatment. If the safety data are clean, an NDA submission based on efficacy after only one year may be permissible.
