Yes,we need to propose or nominate Celia Witten,PhD., M.D. as FDA Director.<g>

She has stated before that she doesn't want to create a situation where patients cannot get the products that they need and that may benefit them.

She was also in the FDA's committee that recommended lifting the silicone breast implants ban in spite of all the trial lawyers stories & theories.<g>

Provenge, "failed" on its primary end point in 2 trials, but a "second look" at the data revealed a 4Ms survival benefit in one of them.In the past, advisory panels and the FDA have rejected cancer drugs in similar situations.

Do you think that if the FDA approves Provenge on May 15, it could signal a change in FDA's past policy ?
