In the case of companies moving with DNDN, one has to ask the question "Which AC will be reviewing the drug?" Based on the make-up of the committee reviewing Provenge, and on the play-by-play from IHub's "Biowatch" (who was in attendance) it seemed like a bit of a turf war. The very negative statistician was from CDER (Pazdur's arm)? The Committee Chairman, Dr. Witten, changed the pivotal question and swung the vote, apparently witihin regulations.

DNDN should be grateful Provenge was not being reviewed by ODAC or CDER! I don't think it would have made it there.

Another question, which I don't know the answer to: Who in the FDA reviews the AC decisions and actually approves/not approves the drug reviewed?

TIA & Cheers to DNDN longs, Tuck
