Many times, the mechanism of action is discovered

We know that Brilacidin oral rinse prevents oral mucositis in people getting the typical high dose of radiation and chemo. When it doesn't prevent it entirely, it lessens the severity and length of the OM.
There is no treatment for oral mucositis. Other drugs for previously untreatable conditions have been approved with efficacy as low as 31% (I can't remember what the drug was, it was within the last year).
So despite the FUD that bashers want to spread, the chances of Brilacidin-OM being approved are very good. And remember -- I posted an article yesterday that stated that approval rates for a drug that makes it to Phase 3 were 61% and rising, as of a couple of years ago.
Don't believe doomsayers.
