I was looking at a company PR in which they said that the results of a Phase II trial is part of their discussions with the FDA to obtain approval [bold mine] to conduct a Phase III trial.
Question: I thought that no approval is necessary; if a company wants to do it, no matter what the Phase II results, they can.
TIA
