RE:BCG Shortage AgainYep. BCG very toxic, and about 17% success rate and major side effects.
MCNA not toxic at all and 25-35% desease free survival 1-3 years. And the FDA squashes it as it was a small Cdn Biotech that would provide competition to USA based company that supply the present treatment, even though doctors and scientists on the panel wanted it approved. Go figure. Like was said here, don't count your chickens - the FDA can be brutal - wolves in sheeps clothing that come across as being so in favour of your drug and even encouraging you to submit with limited data, and then BAM! Killed the company, investors and most tragically the patients who so badly needed MCNA to be Approved. Hopefully PLI has a Partner lined up to get this thru the door soon.
