    Unilife is beset by luck. Most of it bad. When the Amgen deal was announced- China had a meltdown and we didn't get the expected SP kick.
    Now with the approval of Dupilumab we have a legal patent stouch happening.
    Now I know nothing about the patent side or legal side but there is a slight difference in terminology being used today.

    Previously it's been all about the PCSK9- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCSK9, but now the Reuters report following- talks about the IL-4 and IL 13 proteins.

    "This drug is really a game changer," said Dr. Emma Guttman-Yassky, Vice Chair of the department of dermatology at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York who conducted clinical trials of dupilumab.

    The drug works by blocking the IL-4 and IL-13 proteins involved in the body's immune response that Regeneron and Sanofi believe to be underlying causes of a number of complex conditions.

    In a pivotal late stage study, after 16 weeks of treatment with 300 milligrams of Dupixent either weekly or every two weeks.
