15 to 18?

A BLA priority review is 6 months or less.

The BLA for Erbitux was filed 8/14/03, and the drug was approved 2/12/04 (6 months). The BLA for Avastin was filed 9/28/03, and the drug was approved 2/26/03 (5 months).

If the RIGS BLA review ends up taking 3-6 months, that’s hardly a big deal.

By the way, my question about 3 months or 6 months was rhetorical.
