Vlad, Actually I always wanted to ask the question as to whether sildenafil could be put in a muse pellet. But I was too shy, thought I might be ridiculed by you all .... except E'Lane? Perhaps you discussed it before, to digress slightly, in fact do you know how it is possible to search SI messages for words within the body of messages not just the titles - I cannot find this out?

George Rathmann the CEO of ICOS believes (for the most part) in not giving away the farm (i.e. licensing out technology), so I very much doubt that VVUS is talking about a collaboration with ICOS to deliver the compound in IC351 with VVUS' delivery system. Then again, George Rathmann was at Abbott before he was Mr. Amgen and I don't think Abbott has an ED drug in their pipeline. Sounds like a bunch of rumors getting all intertwined. While VVUS is currently in my portfolio (not sure whether long or short term), I'm very bullish on ICOS. George knows how to get drugs developed. ICOS understands that most products don't make it to market, so you'd better have a whole bunch of them in the pipeline. I didn't intend this to be PR for ICOS, but I guess it has ended up that way ;> Waiting for the VVUS short squeeze and PR machine to kick in. . . . . . The Fiery One
