“Now again I ….update to you here, we are finishing up our Phase I trial [in Puricase] in patients which is nearing its completion now but what we have found in looking at the results we have, thus far the drug is extremely well tolerated by the patients and we’re seeing the drop in uric acid levels. So we know that we have an effective drug here so far based on the data, what we’ve seen, and we will be moving ahead and bringing this drug into Phase II trials later this year….”
