ZEVALIN’S APPROVAL IS IMPORTANT FOR PATIENTS WITH NHL.
If Zevalin is approved under the first-line consolidation setting, the drug is more likely to have a better shot at becoming the standard of care for NHL. Some patients, who have received Zevalin or a comparable radioimmunotherapeutic (RIT), Bexxar, would likely argue that Zevalin deserves to be approved and made available for early-stage patients. The current standard of care is Rituxan in combination with chemotherapy. Rituxan is marketed by partners Roche (OTCQX:RHHBY) and Biogen Idec (Nasdaq: BIIB). Bexxar is marketed by GlaxoSmithKline (NYSE: GSK).
BETSY DE PARRY
Betsy de Parry’s story is one with a happy ending. Betsy is a NHL survivor, one of a few patients in the US who has actually received a RIT for the treatment of her NHL. While Betsy’s story ended positively, more importantly, it exemplifies why patients should be made aware of the Zevalin option. Please make it a point to check out Betsy’s site. Investors should consider purchasing her book, The Roller Coaster Chronicles, which is available for sale on her site.
