>As reported June 2, an FDA expert advisory panel endorsed Ontak

When was the last time a drug with a 14-0 vote by the advisory panel did not get approved by the FDA? Yes, I know that there was also a 14-2 vote on the issue of leaving the dosage up to the prescribing physician. This whole thing could be just a matter of clarifying the dosage and the labelling.

Does anyone see any real problem here? I can't see what it would be.

Frankly, I'm far more excited by the 94% response rate in the cancer study. Yes, those were rodents, but rodents *are* mammals and even if the carryover to humans drops it to 70% or so, it is still exceptional.

Cheers, Torben
