It must be Roche holding them back until they are ready. Nothing else makes much sense.

Entdoc do you think it is possible Roche is holding them back until they are ready to switch Avastin with Bavi?

Entdoc... thanks for the post. I didn't realize how "up and coming" Dr. Rolf A. Brekken has been over the years at UTSWM as you pointed out and thanks for that reminder.

As a physician, I went on record here and on another board that I would prescribe either or both (together) in a heartbeat for lung cancer. So who is in chargein this country? Not patients or doctors. Not the FDA. Could it be Wall Street? Madison Avenue? Apple? The Media? Gov'ment? Who is it out there that moves good therapeutics to the treatment table? Its MONEY people.Anyone out there try to get Bavituximab on a "compassionate use" basis? I would love to hear from youif you or a friend has tried to get Bavi. Congress was supposed to have made made it easier with some bill or other they passed, remember? Now Anyone should be able to request Bavi and get it.

Thanks for reminding all of the above also... I'm hoping some at the FDA finally take a stand to back away from some of the ones who have had their ear over the many years.... or it just may be time that we all become that squeaky wheel that needs to be heard.

GLTA!
