      The fact that Voclosporin is both more effective than the current treatment and allows for the reduction in the use of oral steroids is a stunning achievement not to be underestimated. This will lessen the onset of diabetes, along with reducing the many other complications which are associated with the use of high dose steroids. The approval of Voclosporin will be the ultimate achievement for Glickman who has dedicated his life to finding an answer for LN, and now that answer is here.

iHub has been hijacked by trolls

Yup. iHub can't get rid of "Biotech Researcher," aka BR.  It's both a win for BR (the troll), and a huge loss for iHub. Their platform loses value and credibility when they refuse to take action on perma-trolls that derail the discussion and distract investors from their efforts to just honestly share information and opinions on the equities they own. So shame on iHub for not taking action to resolve this. I'm going to cease and desist on posting there until the troll (BR) problem has been resolved, and credible, valuable posters have been reinstated. I've already cancelled my premium membership some time ago. I suggest you do the same. With kind regards to all Trading Cyclist (aka TC)

Week of June 12 2017. Up from here?

Changing post from daily to weekly. Hopefully this will make it easier to follow the conversation. We will still continue news and special issues on an ad hoc basis. Let us know what you think! We've had a hard time as of late, stock price down from 10 to 6. Painful. The question is, without any news how long and how low will we continue to sink? Hang in there everyone. TC

Voclosporin will likely be approved well before the P3 trial runs it course. Here's how it's going to work.  First, there's a legal and regulatory path for this approval .  While I quote the relevant passage below, here's the link to the  FDA Regulations , as well as  a   list of drugs   t hat received accelerated approval.  Sec. 314.510 Approval based on a surrogate endpoint or on an effect on a clinical endpoint other than survival or irreversible morbidity. FDA may grant marketing approval for a new drug product on the basis of adequate and well-controlled clinical trials establishing that the drug product has an effect on a surrogate endpoin t that is reasonably likely, based on epidemiologic, therapeutic, pathophysiologic, or other evidence, to predict clinical benefit or on the basis of an effect on a clinical endpoint other than survival or irreversible morbidity. Approval under this section will be subject to the requirement that ...
