Dauntless,

There were two paragraphs on Zonagen. One on page one and one on page two, but the second paragraph reiterated the first paragraph and expanded the details. I posted all the relevant details about Zonagen that were in the report. But perhaps there is supplementary information that you can dig up?

I think there has to be high, low and medium doses of Vasomax. Wessels, Arnold & Henderson is supposed to have a good rep and it would not provide any advantage to them to create a report of this kind that isn't accurate, for they are accountable to their clients, after all and the investment community as a whole.

Isn't the conference being held by the very people (Wessels, Arnold & Henderson) who prepared this report?

Yes, you're right. The report discusses VVUS, recommending a "Hold" on VVUS, and I didn't mention that. But there wasn't anything else about Zonagen.

Daunt,

There are two interesting points about this report.
One, as you pointed out there seems to have been some advance knowledge of the report by some posters.
Two, as with the original negative reports, it coincides with the absence of the corporate officers from the home office.

Zonagen continues its price decline

Zonagen does not have an effective ED medication.

Phentolamine has not been proven to help ED, even when injected.

Zonagen has a history of stock manipulation, fraud, and dirty dealing.

<<1- Dropout rate of 50% - that's great - I was hoping for efficacy of 40% which implies dropout rate of 60%.>>

You've got to be kidding!! The drop out rate is the percentage of patients who didn't complete the study for whatever reason. It reflects the degree and magnitude of side effects that subjects will tolerate and has nothing to do with efficacy. A 50% drop out rate in a clinical trial is VERY BAD.
