cs,

The pumps worked for many of the patients with no side effects. We hope to be able to determine if this was a business decision or just being clueless to what they had. A recently published study found it didn't disburse far enough, but something's gotta give with experimental drugs and situations like this. How do you justify letting people suffer. Earlier statements from Amgen said, they knew it wouldn't be a moneymaker but they were going for it anyway because they could see in the imaging that it worked. It was the lesions that scared them in the monkeys, but no humans have had any side effects. I think the scientists death left it with no champion.

Welcome back and hope you stick around.
Paula
