John,

>However, I am very skeptical and would like to see some results in >humans before I got too excited.

Axokine is really Regeneron's second generation version of CNTF. REGN conducted human trials using CNTF to treat Lou Gehrig's disease. Unfortunately the trials were halted abruptly due to adverse side effects of the drug. Apparently one of them was weight loss.
Did Regeneron mention anything about the CNTF trials in association with Axokine?

Thanks,
Winston
