Henry, >>prevention trial<< I was thinking more about off label usage. My understanding is prevention trials are long and expensive. I think the off label usage would be possible after decent human therapeutic data. It appears to me a low dose might be worth the risk/reward to some high risk patients and their doctors.

I feel I am being a "board hog". Sorry everybody. I find this info very exciting. I don't think Lehman or Charles Engelberg read the paper. I will see if I can dig up any human Tamox data. I find myself wishing very much to see the human Targretin data for diabetes. Won't this usage in a chronic condition eventually, and hopefully, establish Targretin's safety profile.
