Somehow, I sometimes get the feeling that you like to see everything that has to do with Elan under a big black cloud. The PR doesn't actually say that Elan is backing away. It says that the trials will continue outside the structure of the present J/V. Elan has evidently decided that as the market doesn't like the J/Vs, they will not be bothered with J/Vs.

As for CeNeS, they will not be able to fund this trial on their own. Only with continued financial support from Elan will they be able to bring these trials to a conclusion. Good or bad? We don't know yet. Time will tell.

As for Antegren becoming a niche product in neurology. It depends to a large extent how one defines a niche. If they succeed, it will in my book be huge. If they don't, it will - as Bill likes to indicate - become a completely new ball game.

>> If Elan succeeds it will be niche biotech <<

That's a bad thing?

As some of us have indicated, that's why us new guys are here. Leverage.

I do not think they are "kiss[ing] the pain franchise goodbye." They will get something material and substantial from this JV, most likely. The pipeline is also deeper than 2 drugs.
