If you have been following Spectral Medical Inc. Phase III Trial Results on Sepsis and the fact that if and when FDA approves it, Vantive is their partner in terms of Sales in US, this ad in Vantive's Career section is quite interesting.. Vantive was on Spectral's last news release when they announced the Trial Results..
We are just connecting the dots, if it were.. Remember, at this point, there is no drug or therapy approved by FDA in USA and here we have Vantive, one of the largest company recruiting a senior, director level personnel for Sepsis Management..
Just a Monday morning speculation.. :)
