So... you're like all the rest. Already forgot about the incredible accomplishment of filing the MAA and on to the "What can you do for me next!!"
Besides, does it really matter if you know if it will be approved in 144 days or 150??? Most in the know suggest approval in record time!! 80 days or less.Check with your friends in the UK. My suggestion for you is to take a "time out" to "smell the roses" and let management decide what's important and what's not. According to my friends in Big Biotech, management has produced a miracle and in record time. One of my friends (CEO of a BP) said that if he were charged with approval and commercialization of a breakthrough technology, never seen in healthcare history, he would have assigned several hundred company pros to manage what Northwest did with 18 employees and a handful of consultants!!! Further, that they managed to secure the "DISCOVERY" with brilliant patenting, compliments of Linda Power's patent experience coupled with incredible internal security measures with regard to compartmentalization of "need to know" information and subsequent distribution among the consultants.
So back to your comment about the importance of the "ticking clock" and the exact approval date in the overall scheme of things in this great success story, dip your finger in a glass of water and when you remove your finger, note the difference in the water level and that's the measure of importance of a few days difference in the approval date.
Cheers,
BB
