Rick, about 150,000 people in the US alone suffer from low grade non-Hodgkins lymphoma. Then add to that the worldwide total and you have a substantial potential market. Alas, you are the only one with a product. Nice position to be in, hence IMO billion dollar market. I think Rituxan will be approved also but, the numbers are against us:

1. 70% of phase I drugs complete trials
2. 30% of phase II drugs complete trials
3. 25-30% of phase III drugs complete trials
4. According to FDA, only 20% of drugs that start clinicals are approved.

So, I would say approval is not a done deal nor is it extremely likely.
