Thanks for the link. I read the article and my take on it is:
1) Decision (to approve/not approve) will be made at the beginning of 2018. The 3rd phase of the trial will be completed around this time.
2) The "special track approval" that he talked about was for orphan status/fast track.
He's confirming stuff that has already been made public. How do I know this? If what you said is true then the stock would be in the 40s by now. News travel fast no matter the language it's in.
