Very helpful post nbb.

As you pointed out 25 named but no RVX or ZCC? Where are RVX and ZCC? No profile after 21 years in the business.

There are 2 sides to this equation:

1. Lots of high profile companies in this space hence the implication of many potential opportunities. The other implication is that with level of competition a top quality management is required for success.
2. It's a highly competeitive space with numerous big players and lots of money to spend on R&D and the best scientists. How can an underfunded players like RVX and ZCC possibly compete? The BTD from the FDA should have at least put apabetalone on a high profile candidate list. No such luck.

From what I recall RVX and ZCC have approximately 4,000 molecules in their closet with only 2 in test (actually just 1 now). Don has stated many of times over my 14 years of involvement that there is an opportunity to license out some of the molecules to generate revenue but of course nothin had happened...not a penny generated.
