So, what? You'd prefer no enforcement of basic drug safety testing?
There are reasons why we have the controls we do in medical trials, other than just to provide busy work to career bureaucrats and generally make trouble for sick people. There is a process for getting patients access to investigational drugs, but you still typically need to do some paperwork in order to provide the drug to the patient.
Given this is a new use of an existing, approved drug, this should go fairly quickly.
We need to get FDA approval, and we'll need Genzyme's cooperation.

It's shit like this that makes me hate the FDA.
