''These studies will be used to support our NDA filing for
Panretin(TM) Gel in AIDS-related KS in March.''

Another confirmation of the NDA filing slated for this quarter. Based on the broad range of trials and the efficacy and safety profile demonstrated in those trials, I can not see how the NDA could fail.

Still, I don't believe today's news will take us any higher.

With this press release about already known phase I and II trial results I have the impression that Ligand is trying to increase its share price. This would make sense when trying to get an optimal deal with Eli Lilly's equity investment after choosing to opt for a royalty increase instead of marketing a Lilly compound.
For me the most interesting part of the press release was the sentence that stated that the Panretin NDA was still on track for march.

Henry:

Could you explain these Phase 1/2 studies. The announcement stated "Complete or partial response was seen in 27% of Panretin treated lesions." Is this considered good? If I was taking a drug I would hope there was a better than 27% chance of seeing some response.
