The KS market is clearly the largets and it is also likely to be the easiest to get approval for. That done, I suspect doctors will be willing to try it for diseases where there are no good alternatives. Looks pretty smart to me. They already know the safety.

TD, I think that the APL trials were having recruiting problems which is why the trials were taking so long. Positive KS results really lays the groundwork for off label use much more effectively.
