CVTX Is another stock making a new 52wks. H today in spite of its larger loss on the 1st Q and the larger EL for 2005 of$5.90 vs. $4.90 in 2004 <g>

It announced on Wednesday that it was starting a PII on patients with asthma with its CVT-6883,which is an A2B-adenosine receptor antagonist.It is given orally on 1xday dose.

By blocking the A2B-AR it could prevent mast cell degranulation, which is supposed to trigger the bronchoconstriction associated not only with asthma, but also with some other cardiopulmonary processes.

A PI of its oral CVT-6883 in 24 healthy controls, was well tolerated with no significant side effects.

The stock has been up more than 5% today
