Anavex 2-73 hits every one of the program priorities. Fingers crossed.

Program Priorities

The Commissioner's National Priority Voucher pilot program was designed to accelerate the development and review of certain drugs and biological products that are aligned with U.S. national health priorities and to enhance the health interests of Americans.

Specific priorities include:

Addressing a U.S. public health crisis. An example could include developing a universal flu vaccine that could provide broad protection against multiple strains of influenza, including those with pandemic potential.

Delivering more innovative cures for the American people. The focus for this priority is transformative impact that far outstrips the threshold for breakthrough therapy designation. Examples could include creating a novel immunotherapy that reprograms the body's immune system to fight multiple diseases; or transforming mental health care through a novel treatment for PTSD.

Addressing a large unmet medical need. This includes a condition that available therapies do not adequately diagnose or treat, including drugs to treat or prevent rare diseases or addressing America’s chronic disease crisis.

Onshoring drug development and manufacturing to advance the health interests of Americans and strengthen U.S. supply chain resiliency. Examples could include companies with new manufacturing establishments that shift manufacturing of essential medicines (such as generic sterile injectables) from foreign facilities to the U.S.; or a clinical trial that maintains robust U.S. enrollment to support generalizability for Americans against the U.S. standard of care.

Increasing affordability. This could include a company that lowers the U.S. price of a drug or drugs consistent with Most Favored Nation pricing or reduces other downstream medical utilization to lower overall healthcare costs.

The program is distinguishable from programs that benefit only limited patient populations. The Commissioner's National Priority Voucher program will advance the broader America First agenda by accelerating cures and meaningful treatments with historic public health impact for Americans, especially including common chronic conditions and high prevalence diseases.

Not a misquote, T
the point of my post was to show that the program existed and that 273 was super well suited to it

When the purpose of the program is to show rapid progess of new drugs, and the FDA will want to showcase any approvals, seems like you would pick the company who:
1. Already did a filing for the drug so it has all its ducks lined up to go.
2. Has a drug with a large, critical unmet need like alz.
3. Is super safe, so you don't end up approving s drug that kills people and leads to criticism of the program.

AVXL 273 fits all the criteria.



the additional wordage was not necessary for the point I was making, and anyone reading this board already saw your post or could quickly link back to it.
nothing in my post is attacking you or referring to you at all. I am trying to make the point that 273 is a excellent candidate.

stay steady my friend.

Yes You did, but good luck convincing that author.

You misquoted me. I said I hope that Anavex is applying for... I did not say Anavex is applying for
