This is the point of course. We all know that change is not fun and we see the consequences in the CNS market and perhaps other areas of medicine. Even positive changes present uncertainty. And we all know what accompanies uncertainty...the "R" word....RISK. RISK is of course simply lack of knowledge or understanding in some context. Example: What would happen if the FDA and their political structure took a position of..."OK...Listen UP...No One starts ANY NEW TRIAL unless they can satisfy the panel that you have done your homework and identified exactly what markers/condition (....)fill in the blank. The FDA has determined that far too many BP products are on the market with serious unintended side effects and they are (or should be) getting our asses kicked by lawyers. ...BUT< BUT< BUT
Yes, we know you all(BP) have large organizations built around our previous 40+ year practice of trial and error but there's a new sheriff in town and he wants REAL PRECISE MEDICINE or you are all going to be sued. (The we demonstrate a few management by EXAMPLE principal)s...which is what we are seeing now. We are seeing the new world of risk averse medicine development which many would say defies the laws of logic. It cannot be done. Maybe, but there it is. IMO, at least AVXL is on the right side of this argument b/c (like the man says) all he is trying to do is restore CNS cellular homeostasis. BUT.... What is going to happen to all the toxic fixes and radiation machines? Who is going to pay all the lawyers and the ad people who write the FDA disclaimers???Ohhhh the humanity. Change happens. AVXL will be on top of the pile shortly, but first the FDA has to figure out what it's REAL job is. BTW, there is NO GOING BACK....stay tuned
