FDA meeting on compassionate use

[robo229]

If I'm not mistaken, I think today is the day the FDA was to hold a public hearing on facilitating compassionate use access to the newer drugs(PI's etc)  for patients with unmet needs.  How can we get info on the outcome and what transpired at that meeting?

If I'm incorrect, I apologize.

E, thanks for the link.  I followed it and searched hepc and found this

"The public hearing will be held April 30, 2010, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The meeting may be extended or may end early depending on the level of public participation."

I wonder how we can learn the outcome or what transpired.  As you know, the unmet need population is large and time is of the essence.

Hope you are well,
R
