Thanks for an excellent summary of what has been happening and of the actions being taken by the ophthalmic community to fight this disgraceful act by Genentech.

You are also correct in your statement that the comparative study of Avastin vs. Lucentis (the CATT study), being funded by the NEI will not be affected by Genentech's action.

I have been in touch with two of the principal investigators of the CATT Study and both have assured me that UPenn, the overseer of the study, will be compounding the doses of Avastin needed for the study and will be supplying it to the 47 clinics involved.

For the latest information about the CATT Study, please refer to my web Journal:

Respectfully,
