FDA approval20 Nov 2015 12:53
Difficult to know how long, as the FDA are very picky. This is sensible given the litigious nature of Americans. AGL have taken on several US cancer specialists who will no doubt be lobbying the FDA in return for their fat retainers. This is what the RNS 25th July said:
ANGLE is seeking to become the first company authorised in the United States to harvest cancer cells from patient blood. Securing FDA approval requires extensive, detailed work to meet the requirements of the FDA's necessarily thorough and comprehensive review.
Dialogue continues to be positive and ANGLE is committing substantial management resource to the process. To support this, ANGLE has taken on additional external support from a number of leading experts with a track record of successful FDA authorisations for similar diagnostic systems.
Whilst some additional studies are still required, we remain positive about the prospect of achieving FDA authorisation and believe that once achieved, this will give the Company a further major advantage in the market.
Sometime 2016 is my uneducated guess.
