Peter,
I know that FDA is sitting on their shoulder and watching every move. I am not recommending that they hype T, but few more words (I think that Sinai and Australian abstract, plus two more from Boston and UK speak for itself) in PR will not piss-off FDA. But it did make me angry.

12 or 10 pts T results for IBD are small numbers for very serious consideration by MDs, but combined with other T trials for inflammatory conditions (overall ~30 trials ongoing or completed) mount to significant clinical data which can help MDs to develop proper practice : when, why and how to proscribed T.

Nonetheless, the point is here that small molecules as cytokine modulators can be as effective as Ramicade or Embrel. Market is *hungry* for this type of drug.

So, JJ, what is holding you?
If CELG do not have sufficient medical and financial (I think that they do not have) condition to speed-up development of T, SelCIDs and IMIDs, appropriate partner will have! Others are not sleeping and competition will grow faster than anyone expect!
