At our Trading School, we've been covering this stock for some times and we're very pleased with the drug benefits that Benlysta® brings to patients worldwide. We've seen positive results in near-term and long-term periods and we expect the FDA to clear Benlysta on December 9, 2010 and we expect positive FDA Panel notes tomorrow November 12, 2010.

Accord to Human Genome Sciences's website: "BENLYSTA® is an investigational human monoclonal antibody drug. It is the first in a new class of drugs called BLyS-specific inhibitors that recognize and inhibit the biological activity of B-lymphocyte stimulator, or BLyS, which was discovered by HGS in 1996. We and GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) are developing BENLYSTA under a co-development and commercialization agreement entered into in 2006."
In lupus, rheumatoid arthritis and certain other autoimmune diseases, elevated levels of BLyS are believed to contribute to the production of autoantibodies – antibodies that attack and destroy the body’s own healthy tissues.
BENLYSTA® has successfully met its primary endpoint in two pivotal Phase 3 trials in seropositive patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). In June 2010, HGS and GSK submitted regulatory applications seeking approval to market BENLYSTA® in the United States and Europe.
The FDA has granted BENLYSTA® a priority review designation with a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) target date of December 9, 2010 – so it is possible that BENLYSTA® could receive regulatory approval in the United States before the end of 2010.
