Welcome Zeta to SI biotech and this thread in particular.

Yes indeed, this thread is as good a place as any for individual company questions. You may or may not get a response (there are just too many biotechs for people to cover all of them), but it's fine to ask.

In general if it's biotech-related or amusing it is welcome. Only real constraint is no pumping (repeated posts about a single stock with no encouragement from other participants). Technical analysis stuff is also discouraged.

I'm afraid I don't follow INGN, so can't help with your question.

I see you responded on the Charity thread to the post about dalbavancin in Gram-positive catheter-related bloodstream infections, and that you are a critical-care nurse, so let me ask you something about that study:

The primary endpoint showed there was an overall response rate of 87 percent in patients who received once-weekly dalbavancin (20/23)compared to 50 percent in those treated twice daily with vancomycin (14/28).

A doctor I know commented that the 50% response rate for vanco seemed unusually low and it was an open-label study. You have any feelings on this?
