UPDATE - Pfizer heard us! BZA petition

Wow!  Today I received via FedEx a letter from Pfizer - Vice President Corporate Affairs - Shreya Jani

This acknowledgement letter really lifted my spirit that they took notice of our BZA petition. 

"Thank you for taking the time to contact Pfizer. We share your interest and concern in ensuring that our investigational agend bazedoxifene reaches those patients who may benefit. As you may be aware, bazedoxifene is currently used for the treatment of hot flashes associated with menopause and the prevention of post-menopausal osteoporosis.

We are very interested in the results of Dr. McDonnell's per-clinical study of bazedoxifene in breast cancer cells and we are committed to understanding its mechanism of action. At the moment, Pfizer scientists are working closely with Dr. McDonnell and others to better understand the findings from this study and conduct appropriate preclinical experiments needed to help us make decisions on the next steps.  Pfizer is committed to the discovery, investigation and development of innovative treatment options to improve the outlook for cancer patients worldwide.

Again, thank you for reaching out to express your concern on behalf of patients with breast cancer.  I am happy to follow up as we learn more."
