>> First, my reading of the news (and from logical combination) is that Janssen back-up
compound isn't from some class as R121919 and covered in DuPont patent.

Consequently, Janssen/NBIX back-up program is lagging behind proprietary NBIX
in-house program. <<

You lost me. Janssen licensed, independently, the Dupont technology, correct? I'm lost. I was certain that the Janssen backup was of the same class.

>> Second, we do not know what are renewed condition (especially royalty) for back-up
program. <<

We can get some tangental guidance from looking at Silverman's next set of numbers?

>> So Janssen may still partner NBIX candidate (if
candidate do reach wanted drug characteristics) and continue with ongoing back-up
program. <<

50:50?? Sure!

>> Third, there is open question on CRF-R2 agonist program(urocortin like ligand). <<

Hey, if one molecule works and a second works better, so be it. Sounds like Vale et al. have NBIX in the lead here, too? If two molecules work better than one.... "ah, heck!"

<g>

>> This didn't come overnight. It is a very big MINUS for NBIX management. <<

I hate this.
