    ​​Hi,
    We have an agreement with a pharma company to buy their NDA once they receive FDA approval and my company will launch and market the product. We are not the NDA holder yet. Can we do Coming Soon" ads even though we are not the NDA holder?
    Thanks

    No if it will not be a new active moiety and no if you will continue the same trademark to market.  The interesting question is if you used a new trademark like a generic.  I'm not sure if this is in the spirit of FDA's thinking for the coming soon regs, but I recall doing it I believe for the CFC-free version of QVAR (albuterol) metered does inhaler when I was general counsel of 3M Pharmaceuticals.  Make sure you know how to do it correctly.
