Brad,
I have heard about Genzyme's work with Hurler's. However I had not heard about the study you are describing. Do you have a source?

Brad, I'm confused about TRETINOIN Collaboration- Found Info..

I remain confused about the drug TRETINOIN. According to source OAK INVESTMENT PARTNERS, a collaboration agreement exists between ARONEX and GENZYME on this drug. My research has found that TRETINOIN is "Under Investigation for the oral treatment of KAPOSI's SARCOMA, but mentiones nothing about Genzyme Involvement.

This drug "all trans-retinoic acid" or TRETINOIN appears to have also been approved for treatment of wrinkles. But this source notes that the drug is commercialized by J&J's Ortho Pharmaceuticals.

Does Genzyme have any stake in this drug, as noted on OAKS web site?

Does anyone know of the status of the agreement with ARONEX with this drug?

My references are:

Thank you.
