<<Does Bexxar have Orphan Drug status for relapsed NHL>>

PB answered this question from the 10K. Where did I get three years from? Of course IDPH uses a different conjugate Yttrium so it wouldn't be covered anyway. I know very little about Yttrium other than it is supposed to be less toxic than the radioactive iodine used in Bexxar. I would be very interested in seeing the efficacy results of YB28. In my view if Bexxar has superior efficacy there will be a market for it. I like the idea of going for a knockout punch. The concept of controlling NHL with long term MA treatment is not very appealing and this insidious disease will find a way to overcome the treatment. If I am fighting for my life I am going for the best chance of a complete remission. I am also very suspicious of partial response data. This can easily be manipulated. What is important to me is long term survival rates and complete remissions. I agree that the most recent data from IDPH is promising and should virtually guarantee their FDA approval.
