when will xiaflex be licensed n UK?

Hi,
Just discovered this site so please forgive me any mistakes.

After reading the articles about Xiaflex last year I contacted my GP, who refered me to an new consultant (it is now ten years since my last op last of four)
He did a bit of research and told me he would be happy to treat me with it when it became licensed in the UK (article said probably about FEB 2011) how do I find out if it is now, or when it will be.

Thanks, David

AFAIK Xiaflex is not yet licensed in the UK, but some hand specialist groups are starting trials. For example David Warwick in Southampton is participating in a Xiaflex trial.

Re: when will xiaflex be licensed n UK? - reps in US

I recently had Xiaflex injections in NJ, and the UK Xiaflex drug rep, and a UK surgeon (a young woman - sorry I didn't catch the name) observed the procedures. They indicated that the approvals were progressing, and they were hoping that it would be approved soon.

I am told by a specialist hand surgeon that it will be licensed in the Uk this April.

Hope that I am at the front of the queue.
