<<Obviously the key is off label use.>>

I guess so. For now oncology is main field. But, anti-inflammatory results may surprise many, more optimistic view.

<One of the drivers will be when clinical results are released and published for off label indications. >>

I will formulate this bit differently. Clinical results are already known and are positive and very encourage (Crohn's, MM, brain tumor, even prostate and breast cancer,...any solid tumor,.. wasting,..). So, it will be up to physicians confidence (related to unwonted effects) to prescribe T without *strong fear* that something may go wrong. Also there are (unfortunately) plenty of male pts who may benefit from T.

<<Do you know when the company is planning on releasing clinical trial results.>>

Some trials are conduced by CELG, some are only sponsored by CELG. Exactly presentation do not know, but here are some idea (only idea ):

Crohn's: trial completed, May Crohn's conf. in Florida or any IBD conference,
Brain Cancer: trial completed, angiogenesis conf. in Meryland (2-1999), or ASCO in Atlanta (May)
Prostate cancer: ongoing, interim analysis at next Prostate cancer conf.
Brest cancer: preliminary data at ASCO

Hope this help.
