To all: Questions about Texas Biotechnology.
There was a news release 2-11-1998 about TBC11251 phase IIa being terminated so they can start larger trials for congestive heart failure. Has there been any more news on this? What phase? When?

There was a news release 3-17-1997 giving the phase II results for Novastan used for acute myocardial infarction. What has happened with this?

Is there a short position in TXB?

Can someone give me the telephone number for investor relations?
Tom

RXGOLF - Refludan

This is the recombinant form Hirudan, also recently approved for HIT. Reportedly very expensive - $1,400/day vs. $200 for Novastan. Also, 40% of patients develop allergies after one dose - then back to square one. Not too much of a threat.

I also do not know much about the drug which you found. The market for anticoagulants is very large, and there is certainly room for more than one new class of drugs. Dan
