Re: Latest T-DM1 site openings - updated as we get them

My extended access site told me they have from reliable sources that T-DM1 will be approved before the end of the year. They must be wrong or why would Genentech add three sites at this late date?

Re: Latest T-DM1 site openings - updated as we get them

Good question, NancyL.

We will have to ask at the Genentech advocates briefing on Friday night, if we don't have a chance before then.

Re: Latest T-DM1 site openings - updated as we get them

FYI -
The "word" at the SABCS Genentech Advocates Briefing was that they expect action oon T-DM1 by Feb. 26. The staff at the briefing did not seem to read the FDA's mind any better then the rest of us.
