Tuck, what makes you think I'm an "expert"?!

Message 16806252

One thing I'm not is an expert. I can try to answer your questions as they relate to todays inhl/pfe news.

The pulmonary side effect issues are different than the antibody issue and likely of much greater relevance. I guess this is borne out in pfe's updated and fda driven plans.

Todays exubera update was known and expected for a long time. That anyone is surprised is surprising. I nearly shorted inhl this morning at $20 as I was surprised the stock was moving up in front of any pfe revelations.

As this relates to ardm, the good news is, clinically there is no doubt that inhaled insulin works. The bad news, does exubera make the aerx clinical path more difficult and lengthy? Are the problems exubera has encountered specific to their product formulation? Will aerx see similar pulmonary side effects? Will any inhaled insulin be able to pass fda scrutiny?
