ICOS doing anything with their PDE5 inhibitor? They may be crawling all over such anecdote, as they have the first generation ETA receptor in trials for PH (for which the Actelion results might be read as a positive).

So..... I agree with your logic, but timing might dictate that Cialis would steal the show?

Interesting.

<<The actelion drug swept the vote 10-0, how does it compare with the uthr drug? If both are approved, which is the winner in your opinion? >>

Tracleer is viewed as first line therapy (stage II, into stage III), and it is not without problems. Elevated liver enzymes.

UTHR candidate Remodulin is for more advanced PAH (stage III $ IV) and it is viewed as Flolan substitution.

This two drug will not compete very directly, however I will not consider UTHR based on Remodulin, at any price.
