fda's reasoning for rejecting this nasal spray? >> this is unexpected. >> this is really unexpected. because their own advisory panel back in may said this drug should be approved. not enough data to show that this drug was effective, the company showed that the drug produced a response similar to epi-pen. people with mild allergies as well as animals. there really wasn't any data show though it worked effectively in people with the severist of allergies. now they have to go back and conduct another study and resubmit its application. >> what is the drugmaker saying? >> yes, the company released a statement late last night saying they're very surprised by this move. if you can bring up the statement from the ceo. he said, we're deeply disappointed that this action further delayshe availability of neffy. patients and caregivers are waiting for neffy. we aim to finish the newly requested trial as quickly as possible to meet the needs of patients. the company says they're going to appeal this decision and if they resubmit their application they say the fda can make a decision in the second half of 2024. >> i'm sure a l
