Good luck at the FDA site, Elaine. I just spent a LONG time there and couldn't find anything. They started this big "transparency" initiative and if there's anything there about TDM-1 or about inviting public input, it's opaque, not transparent. Jeeze.

They do have a blog about their transparency initiative, where comments can be posted. I wonder if that might be a way to get their attention. Although the ruling on TDM-1, as I understand it, is a done deal - it's not like Avastin where they still have the final meeting coming up.

So here's the blog page if anyone wants to try there:
http://fdatransparencyblog.fda.gov/

The other thing I noticed, while googling all over the place for news of some organized reaction to the TDM-1 accelerated approval denial, was that posts here on the HER2 list show up in a google search. Isn't there a way to make forums private? I'm on several others that don't show up in google.
