How stupid/incompetent is the FDA?

They approve a crap drug for LN instead of VCS.

Comparison of Voclosporin (AUPH) to Benlysta (GSK) for Lupus Nephritis.
19% CRR Voc @ 1.9 weeks, Benlysta takes 40 weeks.
25% CRR Voc @ 84 days, Benlysta takes 1.5 YEARS
50% CRR Voc @ 24 weeks, Benlysta didn't reach 50%.

Voclosporin UPCR <=0.5
Benlysta UPCR <=0.7

Japan requires <=0.5, so zero sales there for Benlysta

You can't even make this stuff up it's so insane or maybe even corrupt.

Merry Christmas to all (or whatever you celebrate- Festivus is the 23rd)
