I wonder if the AIDS patient on the FDA panel had KS?

In the North American Panretin study, 134 patients decided to continue treatment with Panretin Gel after the Clinical Trial ended, resulting in a 49.3% response rate, and 85 patients, who had been taking the placebo, decided to continue their treatment with Panretin Gel resulting in a 29.4% response rate.

So..... many AIDS patients with KS lesions wanted to continue treatment, or resume treatment.

But, as you said, it was interesting that the one who voted against the gel was an AIDS patient (if the report of this was correct).
