$CAPR I was very very disappointed by Evan Snyder, the acting chair, who voted YES on the adcom. The guy hardly said a word during the ~7-hour adcom, only to end up voting YES, and literally conclude the adcom by saying "this deserves approval conditioned on a phase-4 data collection". Too little, too late.
If he felt this way about the drug and the kids, and he saw the FDA+adcom raping Capricor all day long, why the hell did he not propose his ideas EARLIER in the adcom. Why did he not say EARLIER "let us not close this door on kids because of methodological issues". Just 3 more YES votes would have made it a 6-6 tie.
You often look back at life and think "I should have said this, done that" ... because some moments don't come by again.
How many kids will die because Evan Snyder didn't have the courage ... he will probably think about and regret for the rest of his life. He should.
