(NASDAQ: CYPB) announced today that the Prosorba(R) column was recommended for approval for the treatment of moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis (RA) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Gastroenterology and Urology Device Advisory Panel. The Panel voted ten to one in favor of this recommendation. The Panel recommended the approval of the Company's Pre-Market Application (PMA), which would extend labeling of the Prosorba(R) column to include RA, subject to the requirement that the Company conduct a post-marketing study. The column received FDA approval in 1987 for treatment of Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP), an immune-mediated bleeding disorder, and has been used safely for 11 years. For RA, the Prosorba(R) column would be used in moderate to severe patients who have failed second-line, or Disease Modifying Anti-Rheumatic Drugs (DMARDs), such as methotrexate.news.com and more good thing for CYPB is : There will be a Conference Call Scheduled for Monday, so buy on rumor and sell on news action will not happen tomorrow, it is important to maintain the stock price move up gradually, until CYPB get full approval from FDA. Do you have prediction, at what price this stock will be opened tomorrow ? Abi
