Excuse my for my but in but it is a well know problem. That is
7 years for approval is excessive. The real problem is
that some drugs need that time and who will take on the challenge of making more realistic guidelines.
Perhaps no one can step up and say we can afford to lose a
few lives to save many, or just help many, who could say that.
However it is agreed that the process creates tremendous
expense and keeps drugs off the market. Is ATryn really
that different that it needs the 7 years, maybe because its
the first? How about others if ATryn proves 100% safe and
effective, then perhaps a two year system (pulled that out of my hat). Is the difference 'the same' drug after drug? I'm not a scientist, not even a doctor but this is worth exploring. No!
What to do? Anything?
