I think Bluegreen has hit the mark(or ageed with what I previously said). The whole issue is the bpi/meningo trial
almost COULDNT show benefit as designed. Yet, there was a seeming benefit in mortality, amputations and POCP(sp).
Some were statistical, some were not. This is IN SPITE of the fact that the trial was underpowered. The fact is the drug is safe and the drug is showing benefit and the FDA is
denying access. IMO there is NO REASON the drug should not be conditionally approved and true benefit decided BY THE FDA after the fact. If it doesnt work, then pull it OFF the market, but dont let more kids die to prove a point.
If the FDA would rather see more kids die to prove benefit then its a sorry day indeed. Seems Cacaito supports the concept. NO...let me repeat NO, i am not saying Cacaito wants more kids to die, only that more kids dying would be the NET result of his path.
