HERE'S SOME INTERESTING NEWS FOR FOLLOWERS OF SUNPHARM (NSDQ:SUNP).

Shaman Pharmaceuticals Inc, a competitor to SunPharm, said it saw "positive results" from a pilot study on the drug Provir's ability to treat diarrhea in AIDS patients. However, in an interim analysis of a double-blind, placebo-controlled, mild diarrhea study of non-specific causes in 166 Mexican patients, the data did not support further studies of Provir in this particular mild diarrhea indication. The results of the pilot study of Provir used to treat AIDS-related diarrhea show there may be additional benefit gained by a longer treatment period.

We visited Shaman in July. Here is what we stated July 31, "After seeing Shaman's corporate presentation, we think that SUNP has less competition [in the AIDS related diarrhea area] than originally thought." This sentiment is now absolutely true to us, as SHMN's product, if chronically administered, will not be competitive with the SUNP product for ARD.
