Andreas, The European Type II diabetes trial is designed to determine an effective dose. Most of the cancer trials use the maximum tolerated dose, which is higher. Targretin should be on pharmacy shelves next year for cancer. Diabetes is projected for 2002, I believe. I suspect that most of the initial off-label use will be for cancer (clinical data for diabetes trails cancer and risk/reward ration is better for cancer).

I'm kind of surprised about the (thusfar) "ho hum" reaction to Ligand's licensing via Glyomed. After all, $900,000 will buy a lot of disposable pipette tips for Ligand's screening program and obligates ligand to nothing other that accepting future milestone and royalties should Cytel move anything through phaseIII. Isn't this just pure cream!?
