First off, KZR's programs aren't entirely aligned with LN, some of it is but I wouldn't say AUPH and KZR are comparing apples to apples, but I understand that in some form this is competition down the road. I worry more about the current phase 3 trials of LN products like Roche's Obinutuzmab which should be starting Phase 3 soon
But down the road. KZR is far away. think about AUPH in phase 1 was that 2015? now we are past phase 3 but still unapproved with commercialization hurdle...This is like comparing Michael Jordan to King James in the same court. Jordan being a promising rookie in the NBA after watching him impress at UNC...Lebron was he even in kindergarten at that point?
IMHO Im not too worried about any competition right now...Aurora data was as solid as we needed for a readout. Wishing the approval process luck
