Cheetio, Thank You!...
A terrific example of what good/any PR can accomplish. Title of article attached... "PD1 drugs could end 'DECADES OF SILENCE' in bladder cancer therapy"... BUT WAIT?!?! - Keytruda is a Phase 1b trial with a sample size of 29 patients (over a short period). Excerpt from link below - A phase Ib trial of Keytruda revealed that as a monotherapy the drug achieved a 24% overall response rate in patients with PDL1-positive tumours, with three of the 29 patients in the small study achieved a complete response. At the time of analysis, patients had shown responses of between 16 and 40-plus weeks. - https://www.pmlive.com/pharma_news/pd-1_drugs_could_end_decades_of_silence_in_bladder_cancer_therapy_602658 - and link to Merck's press release - - https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20140929005263/en/Merck-Announces-Presentation-Early-Data-Investigational-KEYTRUDA%C2%AE#.VMqNoM50ypo

Hahaha. Decades of silence. There have only been "decades of silence" because the FDA moves about as quickly as an inebriated sloth. That's because the big ol' mighty FDA don't have to move for ANYBODY. Haha. What an f'n joke :)

The only thing slower than the FDA was BNC and now TST. Years to get s submission ready. I wonder why, I guess its because they need to concentrate on getting the web page ready.
