HDGabor: Basically the efforts of EPADI and Waxman
got the SPA put back on the table. They wanted a win/win
ending. They wanted to change the SPA to allow AMRN to
market Vascepa for TRGS >200mg/dl, make the RE-IT results
decide the outcome of the ANCHOR original SPA. That way
both sides would save face. Thero stupidly stuck to his
guns about reinstating the ANCHOR SPA, and never thought
that FDA would blow the whistle on the Friday before
MLK weekend as they couldn't budge Thero. He is still
trying to get the SPA reinstated, according to the CC.
As for FDA, when they blew the whistle at the end of
Friday negotiations, it was Game Over.
