BGEN -

The quote I found most significant is:

"Patients treated with Avonex® had 50% more new lesions in the brain than those treated with Rebif®. This result is also highly statistically significant with a p value less than 0.0001."

Defining exacerbations is rather subjective, determined by interogating the patient. Lesions which they must be defining by MRI should be more reliable. With a P value UNDER .0001 it is stunning.

Unless there is something screwy going on Rebif should get approved promptly.

I can't believe that the significance of this news is in BGEN. VL indicates that 78% of revenue comes from Avonex. I would not want to hold BGEN and wait for AMEVIVE, good as it sounds.
