Rick, your EXPERT opinion is needed.
I have a position in ATRX, and their major technology is a drug delivery system called ATRIGEL. It is a biodegradable polymeric system that works by the body's own moist environment turning the delivered drug into a site specific timed released implant. They currently have FDA approval for ATRIDOX for treatment in the periodontal disease area in which the ATRIGEL system is the delivery system.

My question to you relates to their planned human trials with their ATRIGEL system in the treatment of prostate cancer. They plan to deliver leuprolide acetate as a site specific drug in a 30 day delivery time-frame. How effective is leuprolide acetate? What I've been able to determine is that it is a $1.5 billion dollar drug and I wonder if such a delivery system by ATRX would enhance its performance as a cancer fighter.

As always, thanks for your input.
Cary
