What would the patent office have to do with how the drug works or trials? fda on the other hand...

as far as safety, that was the primary objective of the phase 1 study.

I don't believe Anavex even gets to run the Phase 2 unless phase 1 shows safety?

Also unsure if the FDA ever comments publicly on a drug trial/company unless it's for final approval or a safety warning?

this is my understanding in general and there are many on this board that are far more expert than I.
