Vlad,

During my coffee break I followed your altercation with Dale Russel re the AUA meeting abstracts. I agree that he is biased against muse.

In the VA study, apart from the points you make, 84% were frightened of needles, and 25 out of the 107 did not respond to injections, hardly good candidates for muse!!

In the muse vs caverject study there were no differences when the higher muse dose was used. And at the lower dose the difference 8:14 in the numbers opting for muse:caverject is not statistically significant.

In the study in the urology practice setting the dropout from 27% to 18%, the "Most disappointing..." conclusion is nowhere near significant given N=115. N>300 would be required.

This latter study seems the most powerful negative one at the meeting and I don't agree that the scales are on the negative side for muse overall.

The Nexmed and MCHM abstracts are a joke - to think nexmed went up 80% in one day
