2005--right. I think they had some drug failures in the meantime pre-IPO, possibly even the lead program(s).

It would be nice if they get the two other cpds into the clinic before AZN drops the bomb or the balloons. If they do one won't lose it all on azn's decision, just half of it.

That cognition data looked good, though, to me. The safety thing, a drug like this, is always going to be a question.

The one thing azn's rework does say loud and clear is that management's drug development expertise may lack, mmmm, rigor. The birthing and staffing of trgt doesn't do much for my confidence either--your point is well taken. Today, all I can say about the management issue anywhere is.....NBIX.
