I am not against the drug. I just think the efficacy is limited, thus limited market potential. I agree with your assessment about those newly diagnosed with no to mild symptoms could be on the drug if they decide to be on therapy for a certain period of time. I just don't see it being like ERT where patients would be on for the rest of their lives with increased dosing with weight gain over time - that's where commercial success comes from for such small patient population.

The problem is I think it'll take a lot of effort to reach those people.

Isn't Fabry a case where there are a limited number of physicians who treat a limited number of patients?
