As you are probably aware, once a drug is discovered, it must go through a rigorous testing and development process in order to qualify for approval by the Food and Drug administration (FDA). The patch is still in that development stage and will need FDA approval before we can begin marketing. We expect to begin Phase III clinical trials in 1999. Let me know if I can be of further help.
