nidan, is it possible Dr. Gottlieb will be appointed to lead the consortium?

That's a great idea. He has demonstrated he is capable and driven to make changes. We have witnessed Dr.M. doing a "PLAN B" strategic plan and win.
Merck is certainly a big, well respected organization which has both medical device and pharma scope. They have not put the consortium together to just watch, they will act. I look for a lot more science and a lot less massive-YUGE-trial time in the future of CNS disease treatment development.
IMO, if they present a breakthrough of some kind then that will provide momentum to drive bigger changes. Regulatory bodies do not do change easily.
