squetch,

You should have posted this one here too:

Message 3598295

The ongoing photosensitivity from the existing QLTIF drug (Photofrin) is apparently a significant problem that PCYC's Lu-Tex doesn't have. A urologist I know casually told me that he participated in an early trial of QLT's drug for bladder cancer, and the patient had to stay indoors for weeks.

My view is that both QLTIF and Miravant are preparing the way for PCYC's better drug, and the more success they have now the better for PCYC if and when its drug is approved.

I tried to find what wavelength the Miravant drug(s) use, but have been unable to do so. Any ideas where to look?
