The Army had also been the drug’s NDA sponsor when it was last approved in 2003 but the drug was discontinued for unexplained reasons. The drug was approved under the agency’s Animal Efficacy Rule. The rule allows animal experiments to serve as a surrogate for effectiveness in humans since clinical testing would be unethical.

(Ferenstein Wire) – Twitter has reversed its much-maligned decision to ban watchdog groups from automatically archiving politicians’ deleted tweets.
