Mrk and the NDA


Severasl days ago I called Merck and asked for the email address of a Board Member so that I can lodge a complaint about a drug (MK-8669 (Rida) )

I was told that they do not give out any email addresses but that I can lodge the complaint with a person who they put me in touch with.

I told them that I wanted to know why an NDA has not been filed yet for MK-8669, despite having met its Phase 111 endpoingt more than 6 months ago. I also complained about the drug's competitor (Afinator) marching along in the clinic in one indication after another, while Merck sits on a drug that could help thousands of cancer patients. The gentlement took notes and even assigned my complaint a number and said that someone will respond.

I will kep the board informed, and perhaps others can make complaints.
