What about from a clinical perspective?
They indicated they plan to run a infergen/actimmune combo trial. An amphotec/actimmune trial I believe is underway.

They did inlicense a drug for CF which fits into their pulmonary efforts.

I'm not entirely sure how much marketing synergy matters here as each product can be handled with small, focused niche sales force. In other words, this is no Sepracor :-)

What matter most is running successful trials that pass fda muster. FDA rejections or failed trials will cost a lot more than product disconnect :-)

Hi,

I actually think they have done a pretty good job with sales/marketing Vs pipeline.

amphotec and infergen are hospital drugs and so will be oritavancin. No different than what a hospital rep does in big Pharma.

actimune is a pulmonary office call.

There will be two sales forces I think.
