I questioned the independence of JNJ’s NDA in PCI when it was first announced; from #msg-75391993:
The answer was evidently the latter.
JNJ’s PR referenced above made the headline item the FDA’s granting of a priority review for the separate Xarelto NDA in treatment and secondary prevention of VTE. This suggests that JNJ already knew about the withdrawal of the Xarelto NDA in PCI and was waiting for an opportunity to cover the bad news in a PR about something positive. Pretty sleazy behavior, IMO.
The PDUFA date for the Xarelto NDA in VTE treatment/secondary prevention should be on or about 11/2/12.
