Bob,
As I understand it, Cnto drug will not be indicated, at least at first for RA. I cant remember what they are going for. Even if it is nearly effective as Immunexs, I understand the side effect profile is pretty high and antibodies have been formed against it in a number of patients. Enbrels side effect profile is low with few site reactions and maybe 1 added cold per year. I think only 1 patient so far has produced antibodies to it. All in All it is a cleaner drug profile. In RA, Enbrel,the cleaner drug will win since patients will be taking it long term.
