“Whereas information factors draw elevated scrutiny on the biomarker stratification method, traditionally placebo-controlled MDD research have been high-risk, and this one seems no completely different. Nonetheless, in our discussions with administration, it remained assured within the stratification method, and we are going to await a fuller dataset to higher perceive this optimism regardless of the detrimental Section 2b readout.” William Blair analysts write.
