Tough dilemma. Small company. They need the drug for clinical trials so many more thousands can get the drug by 2016. Do they give it to this cute boy and then deny it to the next 100 cute boys we hear about next week, and jeopardize the trials process? This is heartbreaking, and in no small part thanks to the FDA red tape.
Why not put the boy in the trial process?
FDA red tape be damn, a child life is a risk, and the parents are willing to take it.
If you look at how many BAD drugs are on the market you’d wonder why the FDA even existed. I have extreme drug INDUCED OP thanks to a drug I’ve been on since 1985 and never told it caused OP, or the need to take large dosages Calcium and D when I was put on Synthroid. And it it is a must have hormone drug.
