Many late-stage cancer patients are in hospital not for cancer treatment but for pain management. In theory, Nervana, being single-dose and long-lasting, will allow many of those patients to remain at home. As well as humanitarian benefits, cost savings should be enormous. Public health authorities and private insurers will do the sums on Nervana versus morphine + hospital bed, which will give BLT a whole lot of pricing power.
