CHEST

I attended the American College of CHEST Physicians in San Francisco to hear the "Managment of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis by the Practicing Pulmonologist".

It was well attended (about425) and very interesting.

Dr. Marvin Schwartz indicated that there are 100,000 IPF cases in the US and 5,000,000 worldwide. He also indicated that Actimmune is the best chance to help people with IPF that he has seen in the last 30 years. He also mentioned that he had encouraged Genentech to test the drug on IPF but the idea was not accepted.

Dr. David Lynch said, We may be entering the exciting phase where we have a treatment for the disease. (IPF) [I did not use quotation marks since the statement is not verbatim - I don't write that fast - but it should be close.]

I hope these guys are right. If so ITMN has a big winner. When data from the Phase III for IPF is released we will know for sure.
