OGSI
I sniffed around some websites about Gaucher's disease before buying into OGSI. The Vavesca trials are commented and the users give it decent reviews. It is true that there are side effect (mostly GI) but there are also some patients who experience side effect with Cerezyme. I think there is a market for Vavesca even though it may be inferior to Cerezyme because of:
1) Vavesca being an oral drug
2) No backup to Cerezyme currently available
3) Cereyzme is excruatingly expensive

I'd give it a 50% chance of approval but i think that OGSI is worth its current price even without Vavesca.
