Dendreon Clinical Studies Continue to Impress

A 'thoughtful' observation from an observor of Congress and Biotechland:

“We find it ironic this word would come down on a day when Congress could find an entire half day to berate a baseball player for taking performance-enhancing drugs. If Roger Clemens is harmed from taking these drugs (assuming for a moment he did), he (a) made his own choices and now has to live with them, and (b) he has more than enough money to buy himself some pretty nice healthcare.

Contrast that with prostate cancer patients. They don’t get a choice. The FDA took it away from them. It isn’t just one man, it’s thousands—perhaps reaching tens of thousands by the time Provenge is finally on the market.



Apparently the Senate decides where it will focus based upon not whether the issues are worthy of Congressional attention, but the likelihood of whether they can get their mugs on cable news for a few hours.

They ought to be ashamed. And we mean really ashamed.”
