Thanks Robert, I hadn't seen it.

I tried reading it but there are weasel words and carefully crafted phraseology throughout, with the underlying theme being "We will give permission if we feel like it".

That sentence <The FDA strongly supports expanded use of promising therapies for serious and otherwise untreatable diseases> could be interpreted as "The FDA strongly opposes any use of unpromising therapies for serious diseases for which we have already approved a treatment".

Which of course means they decide what is promising and unpromising and no change to CHOP is allowed unless they give their blessing.

One could not, of one's one volition, throw in some Rituxan and maybe a shot of Oncolym after the regular CHOP programme is finished, just to mop up any sneaky little blighters who escaped the toxic carnage of CHOP and were flaunting their CD20 antigens, laughing at the patient for being gullible.

Such a plan would not be seen as promising. Too irregular old chap.
