Dear Arnie:

Back to your question about the same 75% stay on pramlintide in both type I and II. There is a big news splash about the new rat hormone gene cloned, orexin, for controlling appetite. While it should generate some excitement, but any medicine that can come out of it, if ever, will be at least a decade away. At the meantime, people who need treatment the most to control their obesity are many of the type II diabetes patients. Pramlintide has shown it can cause statistic significant weight loss in two different doses in the last clinical III, I believe that indication alone will give AMLN a market in type II no smaller than the whole type I market. Of course, they have to have pramlintide approved for type II first. The 75% just showed that even it is approved with some condition attached for type II, those patients who want it will get it. The only worry we should have is FDA, no need to worry about the market at all. If there is any sign in the coming trials that AMLN will get type II OKed, I will hold my shares for a long long time.

Good weekend.
