QK:

<<What is your rationale for favoring REGN to discontinue NT3 development "forever"? Being a diabetic, and still healthy, I'd love to see some progress on a drug that minimizes/reverses the onset of neuropathy, wouldn't you?>>

I is not may rationale, it is REGN management perspective, and I agree. NT3 has side effects at higher doses, so to have needed therapeutic effects significant toxicity were observed. Also, other companies (pharma and bts) are looking seriously on this indication and they have advantage (small molecules). It is not tragic situation. NT3 may work in other indications.

Constipation (niche market) seams as promising indication (BDNF and NT3).
