Anybody still follow Alteon? I got burned on this one several years ago -- remember pimagedine? But H&Q analyst has come out with a gutsy buy call based on P2 upcoming results for its A.G.E. cross-link breaker. The trial is a maker-or-breaker (ark ark).

ALT is limping along financially with funds from a private placement at $4.25 earlier this year. This could be my kind of stock. I'm not competent to evaluate products on their technical merit so I rely heavily on the action/recommendations of others who do. ALT is under $2, but there is one big worry that is identified in the writeup on page 15. The drug, ALT-711 for the treatment of isolated systolic hypertension, resulted in an average increase in serum triglyceride levels of 33.5 mg/dl at day 56 vs. 3.5 mg/dl for placebo. Otherwise, the prelim data looks pretty good (on its face to someone like me). If anybody has any reaction, would appreciate hearing it...
