Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting
RMAT designation plus Phase 3 initiation reduces regulatory risk and may compress time to potential approval; positive Phase 2 signals (31% lesion growth reduction) support upside. However, success hinges on Phase 3 data and eventual market acceptance; near-term moves could be volatile but directional upside is supported by a clear regulatory path.
