George, I find it very interesting that 4 of the 62 children received Neuprex and yet were not enrolled. I may be wrong, but when you are dealing with very sick patients who are literally spiraling down before your eyes, you can become both desperate and emotional. How did the 4 receive Neuprex? I suspect a very dedicated ER doc or intensivist demanded the drug in a last ditch effort to save a life. This tells me that the people dealing with these children could see clearly who was receiving a placebo and who was receiving Neuprex.

Are you saying that 100% of parents and guardians of the patients who met the standard for inclusion in the trial chose to participate, and that no one chose to opt for just the regular standard of care?

George, We are experiencing an outbreak of bacterial meningitis here in the Denver area. Two youngsters have already died. Last night on the local news, they showed all the children in a school receiving their antibiotics in an attempt to halt the outbreak. Everyone was cooperating. No one was holding back because of any side effects from the antibiotics. The pills were freely distributed at the school along with the little paper cups of bottled water. It was full speed ahead on doing whatever it takes to halt this epidemic. It is easy to motivate people into doing something about this disease when it strikes. No one is going to delay at getting enrolled into any sort of program designed to stop it. Once again, another story illustrating the real need for Neuprex to be approved as quickly as possible. Regards, Jack
