Fred,

Here's the PR on the approval today:

Message 19537003

As you can see, my memory was a little off (to everyone's surprise, I'm sure). They have to screen patients for QTc wave prolongation; apparently they can't give a small dose first to test for allergic reaction, so they're doing a comprehensive registration and informed consent procedure. The market seems disinclined to count Plenaxis sales before they're hatched, given these little hurdles.

Anyone here care to handicap the success of their launch?

Cheers, Tuck
