hayward, from a response a few days ago, if there is an approved drug by FDA, the manufacturer just can't ask to delete the approval. At least that's what I thought I read and it does sound logical to me.
1) The approach to FDA must be holistic. REDUCE-IT extended Vascepa’s potential to the CVD space.
2) Amarin might need to leverage the data of Mochida which has never claimed a CVD indication.
The patent moat around LR-EtEPA will block generics in the CVD space, while an FDA authorization to operate in the VHTG sphere will make their life tougher.
