Another week gone by, still no approval. For over 4 months This FDA has been " studying " T DM-1, this is thier version of a " Priority " Review . a drug that they know so well... saw an article on -line from the San Fran Business Times, by Ron Leuty. brief overview of San Fran area drugs developed recently. Superficial, with in-accuracies , stating that Gen. gave data to FDA " last month " ( actually Aug. ), and that FDA rejected drug in 2010 because " pts in the trila had not exhausted all other options ". Actually , This FDA , made that statement about ALL Stage IV Survivors in this country, without ANY scientific study, without ever interviewing a SINGLE PT. ! I wrote Ron , w/ corrections, I 've talked to him before, seems like a nice guy, but like many business writers , not interested in the pt. perspective. So , you Stage IV's have to give it. Any of you in the Bay area who are lucky enough to have T DM-1, or are waiting for it, give him the pt. perspective. Maybe he, others, will listen to you. you have the stats from above on this post, and the website stageivsurvivor.webs.com. Thanks.
