<<However, patient compliance with this therapy is expected to be low because CNTF is a protein and must, therefore, be administered by daily injections. We are developing Physiogenomics-based approaches and unique medicinal chemistry strategies for identification of an orally active, small molecule mimic of CNTF.>>

Insulin is also administrated as MULTIPLE daily injection, and total sale is + 3B annually.

A still have a chance as once-a week (or twice a week) PEG-formulation, or oral EMIS formulation.

Good luck with oral mimetic A. REGN tried this, I think. gp-130 is involved in multiple receptor-ligand interaction, so one have to discriminate good from evil.
