Henry,

A "p" of 0.00003 is pretty darn good, wouldn't you say? I would be highly surprised if the FDA didn't conduct an expedited review, given the safety profile and clear efficacy data. KS is a gravely serious condition, after all.

As for the TSE424 IND, do you know, off hand, the order of magnitude of the AHP milestone payment? Also, is it supposed to be a straight payment, or an equity purchase of some sort?

Thanks, as always,
RB

P.S. Does anyone have access to Instanet? I would be curious to know the initial reaction to the news. (I would guess that the reaction will be positive.)

Henry, I know that "off-label" has been discussed quite a bit.

But, hopefully not rehashing old notes, how strong is an argument that Panretin's effectiveness against Kaposi's Sarcoma could also be as effective against basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma or malignant melanoma?

Are these four different cancers totally different animals?

These other cancers represent much larger markets.

Thanks, Bob
