Yawn...
Relax. It will still be 15 years before it’s on the shelf.
Same thing happened with a drug that treats colon cancer. 90% effective. Don’t believe me? It’s called DFMO.
Yet people die from colon cancer every day. Thank FDA for that.
I am sure that most doctors hope they can “cure” their patients. But big pharma doesn’t make as much money “curing” a disease as they do “treating” a disease. When your insurance runs out, you’re toast.
DFMO caused hearing loss so doctors didn’t want to use it.
It wasn’t the FDA, it was the clinicians. They are restarting the trials with longer, lower doses. My dad died of colon cancer.
The problem is that the press screams “Miracle cure!” when they have no clue how the trials are conducted. It may have worked with a person or two but not everyone. DFMO’s effects turned out to be modest.
“Relax. It will still be 15 years before it’s on the shelf.”
Seriously, did ANYONE actually read the article? Sheesh!
And what I gather from your comments about evil “Big Pharma” I see you make similar judgments about things equally uninformed.
