You are correct...BMY isn't the first drug company to buy a "pig in a poke". If you go back and look at most of the drugs rejected by the FDA from small biotechs in the past year...most of them had alliances with major companies. GNLB is one that comes to mind. Just in the last week, several failed in Phase III testing...again most had alliances with major companies.

Let me ask the question again for the authorities on the subject..."What is the chances that if IMCL goes back and does the required protocol for testing that they might loss the patent on the drug." This is being mentioned as the reason for the lack of adhering to the FDA guidlines.
