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.
We did a 1 hour radio show on topic which is archived here: Human Genome Sciences Benlysta® Drug Approval for Lupus Patients.

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.
