Phase III drug trials can easily cost in the 100's of millions of dollars. I have seen estimates given for the modest 180 patient PV-10 phase III trial at $9 to $15 million. The Company presently only has $5 million. If you look at the Company historical annual cash burn rate, more money has been spent on executive officer compensation then has been spent on the trials thus far, which accounts for the insufficient funds to pay for the phase III trial. Given the huge amount of cheap stock options the officers also paid themselves (which is the subject of a current stockholder derivative lawsuit), one would think that the officers would be willing to accept the same deferred potential stock appreciation benefit and risk as the long shareholders, rather than plunder insufficient Company cash resources to pay themselves immediate egregious cash compensation. Their greed has put the future success of the Company at risk.
