    To add clarifying information:

    -this is the independent advisory panel vote, the actual FDA decision is expected mid-August

    -the advisory panel vote was specific to Lykos’ 2 studies and concerns were known and reported on ahead of the vote

    -there were 4 areas of concern

    (1) inadequate blinding

    (2) cardiovascular risk

    (3) potential therapist misconduct

    (4) inadequate investigation of dependence risk

    Vote was 9-2 against effectiveness, 10-1 against benefits outweighing risks. In other words, not close.
