DNAB will be huge but it will make most of its money from treating bone cancer and other oncology indications. It’s interesting they will be trying it out in Europe first. If you have bone cancer or myeloma in the US & want this drug, you’ll need to book a flight to Paris.

“Or what if the Big Pharma company behind it might make too much money?”

Yeah, and if the big bad Pharma Companies actually make all that money…they might even invest it in newer…better…drugs that lengthen the lives of even more people!

Pesky Companies! THAT will NEVER do.

It’s going to be expensive as it’s a monoclonal antibody, or at least seems that way from the generic name. Obama care will probably allow it for all those in congress (including spouses) and those who are bootlickers for the left. The rest of us will just be told it’s too expensive. Of course if the goverment starts to cut care and “negotiate” drug prices to where there is no more profit, I really doubt we will see more drugs like this come out as they are expensive to develop and make.

A vitamin D supplement every day from about the time you are 20 would probably make those drugs unnecessary in many cases.

Women living longer and more active lives are going to increase Health Costs…..over and above the shameless profits the drug companies will be making by exploiting people’s unpatriotic desires to live longer lives.

Smells like a crisis to me.

Government action will probably be necessary.

Not to worry about Big Drug. ObamaCare will eliminate that big, bad business as it will Big Insurance.
