Q&A highlights
Q: What other protocol details are being aligned with FDA and when could the COMFORT programs start?
A: For protocol details, it's about finalizing inclusion, exclusion, etc. The main points are 6-month duration and trial size. Working to finalize the protocol and submit to FDA, but no specific timeline given yet.
Q: Update on VITESSE enrollment and COMFORT Children timing?
A: VITESSE is enrolling as expected, guidance of last patient screened in first half of next year and top line results in first half 2025 remains. Expect to start COMFORT Children towards the end of VITESSE enrollment to not compete and use same sites.
Q: Does the FDA agreement change cash runway guidance for COMFORT Toddlers?
A: No, the feedback from FDA doesn't change clinical trial planning or cash runway guidance as the 6-month duration was already part of financial projections.
