Happened to find my annual report last night and was reviewing the projections for 1999. As for NDA's planned, I see the following:
1) Targretin capsules
2) Targretin gel
3) Panretin capsules
4) Elan filing for Morphelan

Report also indicates that Cytel would report on Cylexin that is in Phase III testing. Did I miss an update on this drug or has anything happened to move this drug forward in the process of filing an NDA?

Considering we only have on 3 1/2 months to go in 1999, if they meet the projections with these 4 drugs....the next few weeks should be very interesting.

Man, (biochemist), bites dog again, gets $6 million, returns about 10% and agrees to not bite for 3 years. At that point he will be eligible for new federal grants and can do whatever, he has not admitted to doing.

There are big incentives to falsify research. Bet it's done much more often than anyone thinks.

If the FDA concentrated on safety only, they would have a better chance a detecting fraud.
