The issue as I recall it was that there was a carcinogenicity signal in animal studies in the original RPR zopiclone package. So SEPR re-did the study (using ezopiclone and current standards) and have repeatedly stated that they saw no such signal in the new study. This was the study that was submitted close to the original PDUFA date and which the FDA asked to be reformatted. (SEPR's explanation at the time was that the overall tox package was thus about twice the size of normal, and so needing more time to analyze and reconcile was reasonable).

So this issue isn't of that much concern to me (I didn't go and listen to the call again). The FDA and SEPR may still fight about whether the label should include the original signal or not.
