FDA Advisory Committee Votes 17-1 in Support of Zulresso for PPD

Today the Advisory Committee (ADCOM) voted 17-1 in support of Sage Therapeutics drug Zulresso for Postpartum Depression (PPD). The first and only drug if approved for this unmet medical need, will go into commercialization early 2019 under the name of Zulresso. The press release is here FDA Advisory Committee Votes 17-1. 
The future for the company gets even more exciting with once daily oral drug SAGE-217, which is in phase 3 testing for Major Depressive Disorder or MDD, and has a market potential several times larger than PPD.
SAGE has a talented management team, with plenty of cash to run pivotal clinical trials, and bring new drugs for other indications to market. SAGE-217 has patent to April 2034. Thank you for reading.
