Meanwhile, is the patient is missing several weeks of therapy while the FDA thinks about it ?

But isn't the orphan drug status supposed to be responded by 60 days ? That wasn't on time; would compassionate use be any different ? I must be jaded.

I agree with u, compassionate use shows that the patient is improving in quality of life, and is better off with PRO 140 instead of current HIV therapy. I see no reason why the FDA won't issue compassionate use, especially since PRO 140 is very safe to take, compared to current HIV therapies. I've listed the side effects of other HIV therapy already but they include:

Liver damage
Jaundice
Nausea
vomiting
etc.
