The next ph iii would probably come in before the FDA rules on the NDA. Logic doesn't fully hold.
Now that is the answer. I was wondering when you were going to get to that. I knew that was the scenario but don't like the fact that they weren't honest about it. They know it can't get approved on the data they have, and I think you know it also. They will file half-assed results, but if the next phase 3 works they will submit the data before the pdufa date.
Of course since forest is cheap they are only putting 800 people in the next phase 3 even though the trial that worked had 1200 people. the trial that failed had 880 people.
