I think 250M is probably about right for the trials on the average although it probably depends a lot on the particular drug. For example, AMLN and JNJ are spending a small fortune on pramlintide, whereas Targretin for CTCL will probably be quite a bit cheaper. Also if a drug like Targretin has many indications, you get a lot more bang for your buck--once the P1s are done, they needn't be repeated for other indications. My guess is you can do it cheaper than 250M for a lot of drugs. Henry should know the deatails.

Three years would be a best case scenario for a drug that has just begun P1 and is for a disease where you can see results quickly. It would NOT include FDA processing time.
