Gordon,
Great post. One other factor that should be considered is that Neupogen is not an inexpensive drug. Payors will prefer Bex if it is likely to have fewer side effects require expensive treatments.
I also have doubts as to IDPHs ability to complete its filing in June. As we know from the Bex application this these are complicated drugs with complicated manufacuring. Does anyone know who IDPH's Y supplier is.
It will also be interesting to see how the two drugs are marketed. In order to not canabalize Rit it is likely that IDPH will only market Zev for refactory patients. On the other hand, despite having a refactory label on approval you can bet that CLTR will go after first line patients based on published studies combining Fludarabine and Bex. I will be very interested in seeing more complete and up to date Fludara plus Bex data at ASH.
I hope everyone had a great holiday.
