CREDENCE and CANVAS Filing Update & Implications
Here is a brief preview of this blast: J&J hosted its pharmaceutical business review and provided a brief update on its diabetes business. J&J disclosed its intention to file CREDENCE in "2019", which is later than initially projected by FENIX (late Q3 ’18 / early Q4 ’18). There was no discussion in the prepared remarks on the US review of CANVAS/R. Below, FENIX discusses a hypothesis where delaying the CREDENCE filing to 2019 could signal the CANVAS FDA discussions are going well and Invokana is likely to receive a CV protection indication.
