“From the time a company has a genuine clinical candidate, it can typically take at least a two-year time frame to gather sufficient information to file an IND and submit it to the FDA. Companies that devote methodical, systematic attention from day one move far more efficiently toward clinical trials than companies that delay talking about the development.”

He further added, "As a part of the deal, we will also represent them in the US FDA as their local agent.”
