Thanks, Miljenko - I hadn't seen that abstract. Those GI and liver side effects would likely be enough to kill the drug, and they certainly were not mentioned in the VRTX presentation I saw in June.

On efficacy, note that there is apparently a significant difference in the patient populations that you now see for RA trials given that the recent patients are likely to have either milder disease or to be TNF inhibitor-refractory. So it's hard to compare with the Enbrel/Remicade trials.
