ARIA IS ALREADY WRITING THE NDA FOR PONATINIB.

I was at the presentation ARIA gave in NY at the Newsmakers conference on Friday. The real news for me came at the ARIA breakout session after the presentation. I was very surprised ( along with many others in that packed room ) when Berger said that ARIA is engaged in writing the NDA for Ponatinib as we speak. He had a follow up to that statement as people were really surprised and he repeated it. He said the work on the NDA had already started so as to expedite the filing. His level of confidence was through the roof.
