The potential market is quite large. At least one billion... in the industry parlance, that's what they call a home run.
Yes, I believe SK is backing the 2nd generation anti-body because they believe in it. Just trying to make the point that, they were wrong once and could be wrong again.
Anyway, if any pharm were to successfully launch an effective RA therapy which interrupts RA disease progression instead of simply relieving pain, that would be one helluva a stock. I would expect that revenues from a market that large would catapult this stock into the triple digits and make for the funding necessary to really get the ball rolling on an already decent pipeline.
Problem with previous therapies, is that they do nothing to halt the progression of the disease. The pain is nice to be relieved of but, pain and inflammation relief isn't all... the disease is physically deforming as well and this cannot be stopped by current remedies.
I believe what IDEC had worked... problem is, those CD4 counts. The FDA will never let that fly.
This one needs to be different.
