The FDA is in a bind because they are getting a lot of pressure from the public about this drug, but you have to think that there decision on this case will set precedence for future studies. CEPH and CHIR showed blatant disregard for the FDA's recommendations...thus I would not be surprised if they denied approval. If they do approve myo then in the review committees lose credibility which will probably lead to more disrespect...the pharms will say but what about myo? and will try to get their drug approved the same way even if it has bad side effects. A bad pattern would form and the pharms would have the upper hand over the FDA.

I feel for the ALS patients and hope for them that it would be approved, but I would not be surprised to see the FDA deny myo to set precedence that we are in charge...listen to our recommendations...and to keep the pharms in check. <eom>

Best of Luck,

Where'd He Go?
