<<So best case, if Macugen gets approved, QLTI could end up with another marketing partner, and not have to pay them any royalty for their effort. ;-)>>

Visudyne is licensed to Novartis, and Novartis licensed from DNA fragment anti-VEGF Ab for EU market. Novartis is banking on combination (or substitution, whatever?). DNA will need to co-license from QLTI-NVS US rights. It is possible that this option is in DNA-NVS agreement.

However, so far it is no way to speculate that combination will be better and more cost effective.
