Added By: pjloriaRadius recently announced pre-specified subgroup analyses from its Phase 3 ACTIVE trial, and has made a number of other presentations on their Phase 3 data. Can you discuss the results of these trials, and their implications?
Added By: pjloriaGiven the current information, what chance does Radius stand to receive approval for its two outstanding authorization applications for the EMA and the FDA?
Added By: pjloriaAssuming it gets approved, what percentage of existing patients do you expect to switch to abaloparatide-SC? What percentage of new patients will you prescribe abaloparatide-SC? Will the drug's approval have an affect on any patients who may not currently be seeking treatment?
Added By: pjloriaCan you discuss the differences in terms of safety, efficacy, and pricing between abaloparatide-SC, Lilly's generic FORTEO, and Amgen's romosozumab? How much market share do you expect each to attain assuming abaloparatide-SC and romosozumab are approved?
Added By: pjloriaFORTEO and abaloparatide-SC are daily injections, whereas romosozumab is injected once a month. How will this affect the popularity of each drug? Do these differences suggest romosozumab fits a niche market within osteoporosis?

Added By: pjloriaCan you discuss the most recent data from Amgen's Phase 3 BRIDGE study on romosozumab in men with osteoporosis?
Added By: pjloriaIf Radius received approval for abaloparatide-SC in treatment of postmenopausal women with osteoporosis, would they use this as a basis to try for an expanded indication covering men with osteoporosis? If so, do you think they would be successful, and how much of that market could they win?
