We are meeting with GSK's vice president of Oncology this afternoon and will question him on how much time it will take to process the paperwork.

I really don't feel that it will take 8 months as Tykerb has already been fast tracked by the FDA and full approval should take only about 6 months.

In 1998 the Herceptin results were announced at an ASCO meeting. This drug was also fast tracked by the FDA. Final Approval was in September of that year.

Warmest Regards
Joe
