Incredible News about the Lupus Medication Benlysta! FDA makes priority review

Human Genome Sciences, Inc.

A priority review designation is granted to drugs that, if approved, offer major advances in treatment or provide a treatment where no adequate therapy exists. The FDA has assigned belimumab a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) target date of December 9, 2010.

I will be first in line as soon as the FDA gives the thumbs up! I have been awaiting this now for well over 2 years, watching all of the clinical trials, and the positive results. I am so elated.... Rhia
