huge step forward for antisense see this release

BETHESDA, Md., July 22 (Reuters) - The first in an entirely new class of biotech drugs called "antisense" compounds got the backing of federal advisers Wednesday.

The 5-2 vote of confidence means the drug, Isis Pharmaceuticals <ISIP.O> Vitravene (fomivirsen), could be approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) within months, since it is on a fast track review.

Vitravene was recommended for both newly diagnosed cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis or CMV retinitis that has not responded to available drugs.

The viral infection hits AIDS patients in the late stages of the disease and can cause blindness.

5-2 vote didn't squeak by, first approval for antisense.
