Great news to lie awake all night waiting for it................ouch! So much for management keeping lid on data..........this was a total disaster! I guess a name change will be coming soon!!! Fail with one, merely change name and start the next sure thing!

Sonus is long gonus!

CC notes

Company noting that the formulation for TOCOSOL Camptothecin involves a different Vitamin E formulation; as such cannot draw conclusions about it from the failed TOCOSOL Paclitaxel trial. Obviously, the market assigns the former negative value, as the stock is trading for 1/2 cash, premarket. One can expect the company to soldier on with TOCOSOL Camptothecin. They said that so far in the P!, they are seeing greater half life and patient exposure to the drug. They said that trial was enrolling a little more slowly than they hoped. It'll probably enroll even more slowly now. Nevertheless, they expect data by the end of the year.

They have no idea if they failed the drug or the drug failed them, to paraphrase the CEO. They have not yet done a country by country analysis. They expect to have the data more fully reviewed for an update on their quarterly call in November.
