Today I talked with my old doc at NY Psych institute about any recent involvements in the Gepirone debacle. He mentioned that the study has nine more weeks to go before they are closing it for new subjects. If the results are positive, then it will probably be another 3-5 months before Organon will submit the results to the FDA.
I asked if there was any preliminary rumors about how the current study (gepirone v. paxil) is going. Unfortunately, there seems to be no real news. However, Organon has initiated two other gepirone studies recently which might mean something positive.
Back to guessing timelines, my doc guessed that if it does make it to market, the soonest would be early spring '04.
