Just to be sure, they are Phase 3 and not Phase 2a, or Phase 2b - Has someone got that in writing, not that really matters with ems.

Anyway, if it accurate, they are slated o start in November 2010.

I'm interested to know what is their time frame and the population size etc. Are we talking 6 momnths, or i am assumming that due to Phase 1 + 2 tking close o 3 years, we are looking at phase 3 taking 15-18 months which would bring it well into 2012. Anyone got any opinions - all opinions are welcome.

If successful, when do they expect to ship the first order??

More importantly, a larger pharma usually would already be involved in Phase 3 if the product was super dooper, has anyome asked management why a larger entity is not already partnering?
