Tough to say. From *my* perspective, I feel that it's a huge over reaction. If you go through the indications thread for autoimmunity/chronic infection, you'll see that I thought that the crappy psoriasis results were better than I expected.

That is, I expected flat out failure. For RA, I could never understand why it was being tested at all.

BUT!!....... for diseases where the neutrophil component is pronounced, I like the concept. I therefore consider COPD and some cancer indications to be of interest.

Been looking at this for a long time as a lousy application of the "ICOS business plan"..... get a biological and test it against every indication known to man.

I'm therefore surprised at the after hours damage, as I doubt that too many analysts had success in RA built into the potential revenue stream.
