" approval is based on a risk-reward formula"

Henry, a risk-reward approach to drug approval makes sense to me. I guess my paranoia is showing again. I assume side effects need to be considered when contemplating off-label use for less serious diseases.

Thanks,

Walter

Henry N. speaking of deals...why would LGND even consider taking Seragen's drug (without Psoriasis element). It appears, on the surface that this would show very poor judgement of part of LGND's mgmt.
