Dear Soup,
I agree, a 1.5 M market cap company can never bear the burden of obtaining a 50 - 100 M marketing authorisation which is also not their plan like I said in my previous post but this cost must still be apart of the equation.
You are uncharacteristically wrong on the number of clinical trials currently underway for IPF. There several (around 400) in the US and around 4 dozen in phase 3 (longterm human trials). Some of these will be breakthrough medicines and very interesting in their own right.
None of them do however use the inhalation method so we have a niche there. NXP002 does treat symptoms, is palliative and slows the progression if I have the correct understanding but at least one of the medicines being tried in the US can reverse fibrosis so I don't think NXP002 will ever become the standard of care. It might be used in combination with other treatments and for individuals who do not tolerate oral IPF medicines.
LN: the 6 year figure is an approximation; 6 months phase 1 trials; 1.5 years phase 2 trials; 3 years phase 3 trials, 12 months paperwork. I think this is an optimistic estimation.
