Excellent point Giovanni. Companies apply for fast track designation, along with breakthrough and orphan. If granted it can add exclusive marketing rights and give them a little more attention with the FDA.

But, none of it matters if the drug crashes and burns. That's why I mentioned just getting the fast track designation, while it's a good thing, it's not really a money maker. The science and company fundamentals are what counts. But, I'm thinking we'll have more confidence in HEPA's CRV431 as they move through their larger phase 2b trial.



Here's some more info on FDA designations

Always good to see you Giovanni. You always keep things real.

What percentage of fast track drugs get approved?
In contrast, fast track status has been conferred on 1,388 drug programs since the program was established by the 1997 FDA Modernization Act (FDAMA), according to BioMedTracker, and has resulted in 258 approvals – only about 20% of the designations. Negative outcomes also differ between the pathways.Apr 16, 2021

$HEPA
Just so everyone knows that AKRO is starting a 2b Trial for NASH with Fast Track Designation, but has a greatly inferior drug, yet is trading at $20+ with PT in $60+.

So to be comparable, although CRV431 is a much more superior drug WITH MULTIPLE OTHER INDICATIONS, HEPA’s stock should be trading at $10+ with PT of $30+ just to be equally valued…when CRV431 is vastly more valuable!!!
