Interesting line of thinking. What's the minimum conflict of interest, breach of accepted procedure, or actual illegality that needs to be demonstrated to produce an overturn of the FDA blocking decision? How could the committee elicit the required information?

How about if Pazdur merely leaked the letter to Cancer Letter? (The letter was poorly written, as you'll recall, and I'm guessing Scher is a sloppier thinker than Pazdur and thus the more likely author.) Presumably the couple who run CL could be subpoenaed to testify who gave them the letter.

Or what if Scher (or Maha) can be induced to squeal that Pazdur suggested Scher / Maha write and leak?

Could wotsisname, Jesse Goodman (?)head of CBER, be forced to explain what communications he received from Pazdur and von E between AC and the decision and what his own recommendation and rationale was?
