"Will my IND get a CRL? Who is beating me to the indication?"
Will my IND get a CRL? What's the regulatory path of least resistance — and who's beating me to the indication?
A standing intelligence layer for one program. Continuous monitoring of the regulatory perimeter, the competitive set, and the IP space — surfaced as briefings when something material moves, not as dashboards that go unread.
The CEO has internal certainty about efficacy and external uncertainty about everything else: which endpoints FDA will accept, what the competitive set's enrollment posture says about expected approval timing, and whether a recent patent filing from a comparator sponsor narrows the room to operate.
Precedent. Pull every refractory-ITP regulatory action since the fostamatinib approval. Decompose endpoints, durable response definitions, and FDA's stated rationale for any CRLs in the second-line setting.
Comparators. Map the active competitive set on ClinicalTrials.gov against publicly disclosed timelines, expected primary completions, and sponsor commentary from earnings calls.
IP perimeter. Monitor USPTO and EPO filings adjacent to the asset's chemical class. Flag claim language that would constrain dosing strategy or formulation latitude.
