Another interesting (and obvious) point made was that the reason long term
patients on Iclusig experience have SAE's, is that they're still alive, whereas
with the other TKI's they would be already dead.
We have approved cancer drugs that extend life by a few months. Iclusig
in contast extends it by years, and for the vast majority, without SAE's.

See, the problem with you Ample is that you tend to make too much sense. The above statements are exactly what people, to include the dingbats at the FDA, should be basing their decisions on....but NOOOOOOO, instead there is bunch of whining going on. Stopping the EPIC trial was a no brainer....cost too much money since we ALREADY KNEW last week that 45mg would only go forward in the absolute worst cases. Anyway, buying as I can as usual.
