My understanding is that a priority review is given to drugs that offer major advances in treatment, or provide a treatment where no adequate therapy exists. Based on this, rida certainly seems to qualify but it's up to Merck to file the request. If granted, a priority review means that the time it takes the FDA to review the rida application is potentially reduced to 6 months from the 10 months for a standard review.
