It was a bit of a black humor, Scott. Anyone who remembers the thalidomide baby horrors knows what I was referring to.

But as you say, many new and exciting uses for thalidomide are now being discovered, anti-angiogenesis among them. I understand it has been in testing for AIDS, as well, and I think I heard something about leprosy at one point?

Anti-angiogenesis is certainly a major new hope in the fight against cancer, and I am very pleased to hear about the success of the AGPH drug. You say P 11/111--are they pivotal trials? Or would they have to do an additional P3 as well? Probably depends on the results.

The WSJ article certainly raised a lot of questions, and you are right that they will take months to answer. Of course we all hope that the results with mice can be replicated in humans, but the odds are quite long. We shall see.

Do you ever check in on the VD thread? They have some good biotech discussions. Several medical professionals and people with experience in the field participate.
