I see no reason to have confidence in sepr nce chemistry capabilities.

Well given that this isn't a real big emphasis of theirs, it does seem to me that they've had a decent number of compounds at least nearing the clinic. Of course it's hard to keep track of what's an NCE and what's some metabolite of an existing drug.

The POZN drugs are all for treatment of acute migraine. The SEPR candidate is for prophylaxis. On that side there hasn't been a new drug in decades, except for some moderate success using some of the new anti-epileptics like Topamax.

It's a tough area to do trials in - big placebo response if the patients are newbies, or refractory-to-everything-else if they are not.
