As Bob says I'm glad you finally found it. I posted this info. in late Oct. or early Nov. My 5.9% interest post. So I don't think this is the reason the stock is down. (like in down again) <g> BTW Larry is correct in that the U.S. Government has an interest in many of the patents were U.S. funds were used in research grants. This is an old subject and while clarification as to the extent of this interest would be nice, we have been assured in the past that this does not mean no one else has an interest.

I received hard copies of the slides today. There is no reason they could not have been put on the web site. IMO they should have been. New information is in the eye of the beholder. In my eyes, there was new information. "Phase III data under analysis(decrease in placebo event rate>50% from phase II) This is NEW and IMPORTANT. Slides reference P II, placebo, event rate at 32% meaning P III placebo event rate was below 16% Clinical benefit in reduction of mortality and morbidities (e.g. severe amputations) confirmed. What is new about that?? The (severe amputations) part. IMO means the less severe amputations were not that different in either of the stratified arms. Also demonstrates another reason why analysis was probably complex. If more fingers and toes lost in treatment group what does this mean compared to fewer more sever amputations? Just trying to illustrate that severity of amputations in itself presents a statistical situation that requires analysis. Scannon slides say BLA and MMA in progress. Help! What's a MMA???
