>>Vidaza currently splits the US market in the
treatment of MDS with Dacogen. But it could potentially pick up additional
penetration if the Dacogen survival data expected around mid-year is not as good
Vidaza’s reported 9.4 month improvement (24.4 mos vs. 15 mos).<<

Dacogen is a prodrug of Vidaza, so I wouldn't expect survival to be much different. But who knows, a slight botch in trial design could leave Dacogen showing a disadvantage. I don't buy that thesis, so I don't buy the thesis that Vidaza will gain ground against Dacogen. I put odds of that at less than 50:50, FWIW.

That said, CELG appears to be hitting on all cylinders. I had a successful put sale on CELG a while back, but the stock has refused to pull back into my buying range recently, which is certainly a good thing for shareholders.

Cheers, Tuck
