FDA approval of MAGN's Locilex may be helped by Pfizer's Trovan troubles. Trovan was being prescribed for diabetic foot ulcers and, given the recent warning on its safety problems, the FDA may have more incentive to provide the topical alternative of Locilex.
IMHO, at $1.75, MAGN's stock price assumes zero probability of Locilex approval. However, I think the chances are even greater than the 10-15% posted earlier.

How much more concentrated is the squalamine being tested by MAGN than the naturally-occuring squalene found in shark liver oil? Would it be theoretically possible to ingest enough shark liver oil to achieve some benefit for a cancer patient? If so, how much would be required?
