In San Diego, Robinson also indicated that LGND was making excellent progress in their TZD program. Recently, WLA announced that the NIH diabetes prevention trial had discontinued using Rezulin because of one patient death.

Bear Stearns (on Friday) came out with a WLA spot report on the news. They thought that it was odd that the NIH would discontinue Rezulin based on one patient death out of the 600 who had already enrolled. They think that WLA may initiate their own prevention study.

They do not expect the FDA to make any changes and consider the NIH reaction as a medical non-event. They expect Rezulin sales to be about $600 million this year and $800 million next year.
