SG: << why is the market trashing it? It appears to work...>> Agree, but not a 100% sure thing that the FDA will approve it soon (???) and if so, by what date?

Further, Holveck has said a partnership is still being pursued...but not having been updated, shareholders can get mighty impatient! It would be nice to hear some positive news at the bio meeting in CA on March 15th.

Avakine seems to require more time to be used at office levels . Its appear to require intravenous infussion for two hours , not clear about dose and how many times it had to be given in a year. It seems to be reserved for the research hospitals for getting more information. No evidence to suggest that it will be used in all Crohns patients , probably only in those that failed to usual therapy. Little concern with medicolegal trouble. WPagani
