Genentech and all other drug companies can only give out information about their drugs that has gone through the FDA approval process.

Many of you may or may not be aware that Roche distributes Herceptin throughout the world and Genentech only distributes it in the US. At Asco this year, I was not allowed into a portion of the Roche exhibit because it presented data about Herceptin hat was approved by the EU but not the FDA. At the time I was accompanied by Dr. Nils Eckhardt who is the International Medical Leader - Herceptin for Roche.
