You know that your beloved FDA does not demand any particular trial. DNA/Xoma had to run additional trials to get the number of subjects treated with Genetech produced Raptiva up to the agreed upon level.

DNA apparently believed that a "weaning" trial offered the best bang for the buck, since no matter how logical it is that a condition comes back when a treatment is halted, even some doctors as well as many message board posters do not understand this, or at least pretend not to.
