The DJ report on this evenings filing was very favorably written. They just focused on the positive response rate and ignored the complete remission rate.

Clinical data could have been better (remission rate did not meet predefined criteria, but response rate was very good and remission rate at high dose did meet remission criteria).

I suspect that Targretin will be approved, but not as an agent expected to cure the disease. The 300 mg dose will produce a response in a significant patient population, and of course the Breast cancer and psoriasis markets are much bigger than CTCL.
