Rare pediatric disease designation and potential priority review voucher.
As mentioned in a Dec 1 2015 PR, Kevetrin for retinoblastoma was awarded the Rare pediatric disease designation, which would allow CTIX to apply for a priority review voucher. This voucher has been valued at 350 million by AbbVie after their purchase of one from United Therapeutics.
Questions:
What is the earliest CTIX could apply for the voucher? Is it something done normally just prior to NDA?
I'm wondering if CTIX can leverage the voucher to avoid a capital raise and fund all current trials without dilution?
Or, is the PRV more valuable to the company in its intended form?
