Is MannKind still running TV ads in the US? I read a post on stocktwits that said they discontinued ads as of 7/14. Can anyone confirm/deny. After that someone reported seeing one on CNN in New York City. But I saw this on ST today: laborer75 most ad campaigns run / bought in 13 week cycles. Not sure when they started running them but could explain timing. |

People first reported seeing ads about a month ago.

The Ad campaign started on June 25, 2018 as Mike stated on the last presentation (held on June 27, 2018) that the Ad campaign started on that past Monday.

So they ran for only about 3 weeks. Another test?

Does anybody think that it's significant that MannKind has been running TV advertisement in Canada? Is it legal to advertise drugs in Canada prior to approval? people in Canada have some US based channels and is the reason they see US commercials. |

Satellite dish picking up U.S. commercials is most likely the reason IMO. I didn’t intend to suggest that the 2nd term sheet involves Canada but it is another market I hope is being considered. My guess is that the term sheet involves China and the delay involves Amphastar Pharma and their purchase agreement with MannKind which grants them first rights to sales of Afrezza in that country. I think that AMPH may team up with a Chinese medical sales company and that it’s possible may manufacture Afrezza. Amphastar does specialize in manufacturing inhalants and difficult to produce generics.
There is a mandatory timeline on the First Right provision in the Agreement so one might be able to estimate a date of agreement, assuming the Amphastar has exercised it’s right to match other partnership offers.

I'm good with any term sheet. Let's just keep the snow ball rolling

I’d rather see term sheets for regions (or larger 😜) as opposed to individual countries. |

I wonder if they were holding term sheet or contract signing news for the earnings call where it would have more impact.

There was an ad on MSNBC, Rachel Maddow's show, about 2 weeks ago I saw. Very pleasantly surprised it was there.

Does anybody think that it's significant that MannKind has been running TV advertisement in Canada? Is it legal to advertise drugs in Canada prior to approval? I'm honestly not sure if approved prescription drugs are even allowed to be advertised on Canadian television. I see a lot of holistic non-prescription medications advertised. But for the life of me I do not recall ever seeing a prescription drug advertised on Canadian TV, unless it was on a U.S. network I was watching on cable. I just googled it and found this: www.cbc.ca/news/health/prescription-drug-ad-law-notable-for-lack-of-teeth-1.2867362" Direct-to-consumer ads for prescription drugs are generally prohibited under Canada’s Food and Drugs Regulation. A loophole in its interpretation allows reminder ads that name a product but not its use. For example, TV ads for the erectile dysfunction drug Viagra don't name its purpose." If Mannkind seriously wants to get approval to sell Afrezza in Canada, violating Canadian regulations seems a stupid way to start to go about getting it. |
