BigKNY3, Re;"TA: Drafts of proposed papers for unapproved products are prepared only upon completion of the Phase III clinical studies. These drafts are then submitted to a publication for peer review which can take anywhere from 3 to 18 months. Accordingly, it is not surprising that most pharmaceuticals that have not been approved by the FDA do not have published papers in medical journals."

I am aware of the.
The point here is that neither Zona, nor the FDA or Dauntless for that matter can change the basic pharmacological behavior of phentolamine.The drug is well studied for 50 years for goodness sake.
As comrade Asensio said, this is generically available.

Nobody has a patent to it .

Any body can stick it in an M&M and sell it.

I would just like to add to BigKNY3's insightful comments regarding the release of peer reviewed publications and respond to other concerns on this thread over the lack of data that, as a first step, Zonagen is planning to put together and release a white paper in the near term (as soon as, perhaps, within a number of weeks, as per the conference call).
