Orphan status approval chances
Between 60% and 70% of Orphan application are in fact approved, if they meet the criteria and are submitted properly. Most are within 90 days. We meet all their criteria and someone from Bioniche (don't remember if it was Berendt, Olds or Champagne) said they were confident it would be granted. The extra exposure will be nice if and when it happens. Beech

It's interesting that we're approaching the 100 day mark. The longer this stuff drags out the more and more worried I become. Orphan approval will certainly be a nice milestone to meet and SHOULD provide more exposure for Bioniche....I guess we have to continue to wait and see

do you THINK it might take longer because we are a CANADIAN CO. (just a thought.) GLTAL

Hate to say it, but we could get turned down for that reason, although that won't be the published reason. I am a Canadian working in the USA and there is a big push for all things American here. Don't really know how long the job will last for that reason. I suspect it will be a tough Pass.

I don't think they would make it harder for a Canadian Company especially when the treatment could save many from getting a Cystectomy. No one wants to have their bladder removed and end up with a tube coming out.
