The FDA and Summit discussed a possible pathway to advance ridinilazole to achieve marketing authorization. This pathway would involve reasonable efforts that would likely involve at least one additional clinical trial. The company plans to explore this possibility.
The company also plans to share the results from Ri-CoDIFy Phase 3 trial through an oral abstract presentation at IDWeek 2022 in October.
