(1) Welcome is part of Glaxo, and Glaxo's PI partner is Vertex.
(2) The Roche PI (saquinavir) is reknowned for poor bioavailability.
(3) Roche has more experience with "two PI" clinical trials than any other player, including Viracept plus saquinavir.
(4) Recent studies indicate that "two PI" therapies are very effective, and there is reason to believe that nucleosides may not be required for optimal results.

Your concern is wise, and several of the earlier posts in this thread address the issue. It will definitely be interesting to see what happens in Europe, and I propose that this partnership portends trouble for Glaxo/Welcome. We'll see. :-)
