I knew all about the BTD program before we started talking about it here and I know about you looking at time to approval on your blog. You see though when a company doesn't file an NDA the drug can't be approved. Ariad hasn't filed an NDA so there will be no surprise approval tomorrow. Additionally the company also disclosed that no NDA will be filed in 2015 but instead late 2016. That timing may certainly change but until it does there will be no approval in 2015 no matter what the mean or median time to approval was for the anecdotal information you analyzed.
