Hans Eid:
Okay. Another question, if the INITIUM data are positive, would it already – would it be already possible to apply for an accelerated approval? Could you elaborate on what criteria need to be met for you to apply for an accelerated or conditional approval?
Carlos de Sousa:
Well, I cannot really elaborate because this will be – we need to wait for the data. And if this is not something that can be expected in anticipation, it’s really then the – our strongest data that will allow us then to discuss with the authorities for a potential conditional approval.
It’s also important to say that it’s not just in the interest of the companies. When we have the data in the Phase II data, we normally have what is called end of Phase II meetings with the FDA, where we show this data. And even the authorities are the ones that, in some cases, if the data is strong enough, they are the ones to suggest conditional approvals.
As you know, a conditional approval means that we could come into the market with a product, and then you need to continue running what is called confirmatory trials. So we, of course, will be looking at the data. And what I can assure you as a company, if we believe the data is strong enough, of course, we will have those discussions with the authorities.
