Rudy:

I remember reading that statement: "Scios has pointed out that the greater incidence of mortality has not been directly tied to Fiblast use."

If it is not drug related, than why it was discontinued? No benefit?

SCIO mentioned that Euro trials is 24 hr i.v. infusion versus 8 hr in NA, so maybe outcome will be better, but I am skeptical here. For the sake of the stroke victims (not for my investment) I wish that drug work. Still, my view is that stroke is not FIBLAST right application.

CAD/PVD should be right one, so maybe at H&Q Scios will report results on this trial. Also, I expect some more details from two PIII Natrecor aCHF trials. Hope will bring more confidence in NATRECOR, right on time for FDA AC meeting.
