I emailed two main questions to IR on March first,
At that time, Pam Wallace immediately responded,
"I have forwarded questions 2 and 3 to the office of Dr. Steven Reich, Senior Vice President, Clinical Research."

Here's my Question #3:

Ligand has said they plan to file an NDA application for Targretin for CTCL
early this year.

o Is that still the plan?
o Has the FDA granted Ligand Orphan Drug status for Targretin for CTCL?

I checked the FDA's list of Orphan Drug designates at fda.gov
and Targretin was not on the list.

o Is this an oversight on the part of the FDA?
---------------------

Today, Ms Wallace responded:

"We plan to file Targretin capsules for CTCl in the first part of this year.
We do not at this time have Orphan Drug Status."

---------------------

Had I been phoning, I'd have asked if they expected to file for it, or if they expected instead, to try to get expedited handling of Targretin for ABC.

If any of you phone IR, please ask.
