Bull points
- We recently received constructive feedback from the FDA on the Phase III design and are in the process of finalizing the protocol.
- where we believe significant opportunity exists to bring a new treatment for the 65,000 men in the U.S. diagnosed every year with drug-treatable castration-resistant metastatic disease.
- we believe that having a patient selection biomarker would not only allow us to better enrich the patient population in a future Phase III trial, it could also enable differentiation of FG3246 in the prostate cancer treatment paradigm.
