What does a new treatment needs to demonstrate? Obviously it needs to work and ideally it would have fewer side effects. But are there other gaps? Are there any treatments that reduce the frequency of flare-ups?
Is Rituxan used for limited Wegener's or just severe? I know the FDA approval is relatively recent, but has it improved patient quality of life? Now that it's FDA approved, do insurance companies reimburse for Rituxan fully?
Thanks for your patience with this everyone. If it's easy to discuss over the phone, I am more than willing to set up a time.
Thanks again!
