<<It looks to me to be clearly better than straight Ritalin - a longer duration of action if nothing else, and hopefully easier titration of dosage.>>

An issue is that the celg version will be going up against JNJ's extended release ritalin. The celg nda filed drug is not once-per-day. This could limit it's market potential. I'm not sure when the celg extended release isomer version will be nda filed.

CELG - ritalin:

The NDA was filed at the very end of 2000, with an overly optimistic "It is expected that the review will be completed in the third quarter of 2001."

A correction here - this was the date the FDA accepted the application not the application date - the actual PDUFA target date is actually later this month.

My apologies for the error.
