Die Verzögerung ist besser als ein klares no!
Die FDA hat großen Druck von allen Seiten und das betrügerische Panel sorgt weltweit für Entsetzen!
Ich habe die Hoffnung daß ein erweitertes Label genehmigt wird, Amarin hat alle primary and secondary endpoints für das Anchor label erreicht ohne Nebenwirkungen!

BEDMINSTER, N.J., and DUBLIN, Ireland, Jan. 15, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Amarin Corporation plc (AMRN), a biopharmaceutical company focused on the commercialization and development of therapeutics to improve cardiovascular health, announced today that the Division of Metabolism and Endocrinology Products (DMEP) within the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) notified the company today that a determination on Amarin's request for reconsideration of DMEP's October 2013 decision to rescind the ANCHOR clinical trial Special Protocol Assessment (SPA) agreement will be delayed. FDA previously notified the company that it planned to convey its decision to Amarin no later than January 15, 2014. In today's communication, DMEP provided no definitive date for its planned response. Based on dialogue with DMEP, Amarin does not expect the delay to be for a significant period of time.
There can be no assurance that Amarin will be successful in its effort to reinstate the ANCHOR SPA agreement or obtain a label expansion reflecting the ANCHOR clinical trial data.
