NR - When?
Invite the board to weigh in on when and what.
My take at this point is the Protox has had the data long enough to do the analyses. If the results were dissapointing there woudl have been a NR, imo. Therfore, I this suggests that they are shopping the results to interested business partners and possibly venture capital folks (an option to proceed with phase 3 without a partner if deals are not compelling).
The waiting is killing me.
HELP!

I seem to recall that Phase 2b cost was in the $5 million range - but I'm really guessing. Phase 3 would run 3-4X that amount, assuming that the design will mirror 2b - which is a reasonable assumption if efficacy holds and side effects/adverse reaction remain a non issue. They may only need to extend 2b to a larger population base to confirm statistical significance.
