Trying to see what MYOG has that others don't . . .

A snip from the S-1:

>>The most significant therapeutic advance for patients with moderate to severe pulmonary arterial hypertension took place in December 2001 with the approval of Tracleer, a twice-a-day oral formulation of bosentan, a non-selective ETRA. Tracleer was demonstrated in clinical trials to improve exercise capacity and quality of life. We believe that ambrisentan could have several additional clinical benefits over existing therapies, including:

• lower incidence of liver toxicity;

• once daily dosing based on its half-life; and

• lower incidence of adverse interactions with other drugs, including anticoagulants.<<

A snip from a recent (10/28) Dow Jones article:

>>Analysts say Tracleer could have sales of at least $500 million a year, and perhaps as much as $1 billion if Actelion can win approval in other applications such as pulmonary fibrosis.<<

Cheers, Tuck
