NTII told me that Dynborphin A was simply too expensive to manufacture for it to be an economically viable alternative to morphine. Why they proceeded into Phase II trials knowing this is a mystery to me. However, the fact that they are now being straight with it and emphasizing the truely valuable drugs, memantine and Xerecept,in the pipe is an excellent sign of management honesty and focus.

The Orphan Drug application is also another sign that management is on top of things. This provides an advantage for NTII for the future. It is a little thing that prior leadership probably would have overlooked.

I'm long and holding. I expect NTII to be in the $5-$8 range by years end. But it will really take off on Memantine results in early 98.
