truffleberry,..many drugs in clinical trials from the large pharma's companies take up to 5 years testing before FDA approval.
so i can't understand why the frustration with what OWCP is doing.
do you really think that the first attempt at getting the formulation, for example, from Merck Januvia, was a success the first attempt. no way. that is why these take so long along with clinicals trials. they have test patients and collect their findings and go in and tweak until they align with FDA guidelines.
this is exactly the path OWCP is taking. exactly what is needed to comply with FDA guidelines.
long and strong OWCP !
