Further results from Anaheim: Now I'm getting a headline that reads "Texas Biotech's Novastan Shows No Benifit in Study". According to this article there was NO improvement shown between Novastan and a placebo, which implies that TWO trials were conducted - a stand-alone trial with Novastan as a mono-therapy, and an adjunct trial where Novastan is used in combination with t-PA.

The company chose to report only the "positive" adjunct therapy results, and the press chose to report only the statistically insignificant mono-therapy results ... or at least that's my interpretation.

As an adjunctive therapy is Novastan as attractive as if it were a mono-therapy? Probably not, but what's the degree? Does it warrant a 25% drop in the stock price?
