1. You state that based on positive end-of-Phase 2 feedback from the FDA, as well as historical precedent, you believe that your Phase 2 acute schizophrenia trial may serve as one of the two pivotal trials required for approval of a new drug application and therefore would only need a single, six-week Phase 3 trial alongside other planned NDA-enabling studies for approval. Please balance this disclosure by also stating that there is no guarantee that your Phase 2 trial may serve as one of the two pivotal trials required which in such case you may be required to conduct two pivotal trials for NDA approval.
