>>why proceed with further trials?>>

Neoral over time destroys the kidneys. ISA257 is not supposed to do so. The kidney damages is however a long-term effect, that is not picked up in a short term trial like this.

There are still very valid reasons to continue, but I think the side-effects - if they are experienced as serious - will be considered as negative for example by a patient with an auto-immune disease, where there are alternatives available.
