Great for bringing this up, Percy. Have not had a chance to finish my report on last week’s Faster Cures Conference however; I believe that we have a chance to initiate faster drug approval for out patient community. It has been suggested to use a template from one of the 20 diseases chosen and to collect data provided by researchers and physicians and to solicit patient input. Although I spoke with the FDA representative briefly, I am awaiting a call back from other FDA staff for clarification. The NCI Hepatobiliary Task Force members also have been informed by me; they also are awaiting further information.
Hugs,
Marion
