Morning
It was mainly for new investors who ask questions about how come it did not get Approval last time.
All the other 3 drugs that were rejected in 2008/9 have since been Approved.
With Iclaprim it is not about just resubmitting the package like with most of other 3 and getting Approval due the transformation in FDA environment due to critical shortage of new ABs.
It is about understanding the changes to protocol,the close cooperation with FDA and the journey that MatafB have been on in a very planned and targeted way since 2014.
I keep going back if you read the Arpida Add Comm feedback it was obvious that they were at loggerheads with a fairly intransigent FDA during the meeting so were very unlikely to get any goodwill.
In addition the safety and efficacy results were just not good enough to overcome these objections hence no surprise they were rejected.
Complete different this time and I know that MTFB and the FDA have worked very closely together
