Paul, while I wouldn't label it "competition", yes, as a friend of mine says, the "entire CMV market is going to hell in a hand basket".

It's an unfortunate possibility, but viruses resistant to PIs are likely to emerge. If this happens, it will play into the hands of Gilead and two efforts.... PMPA (i.v. and oral) and GS 930 (i.v. and oral). In the mean time, Vistide will generate limited revenues and contribute markedly to the long-term data concerning the tox of cidofovir. Thus, the current product will back up herpes efforts.

I know a whole bunch of investors jumped on GILD after the flu announcement (wise move, IMO), but one really needs to consider GILD a long-term bet or stay away from it. Good luck.
