The thing to know about Dyax is that the HAE indication for DX-88 is mostly beneficial to get the drug approved for human use. Once DX-88 is approved, it is available for off label indications like CABG, currently in phase II trials. If a couple surgeons see better outcomes with DX-88 in their solutions (and the trials are quite promising), the drug will become very popular very quickly regardless of what the on-label indications are.

I agree biomedeng...it does seem that the trials are quite promising and I would rate chances of approval as being very good. This caught my eye last year in a Fool article and after some DD I put real money in it with the expectation that it would be more or less "dead" money until approval which is slated for late this year (2008). From there the CABG trials can send it to another level along with partnerships Dyax is currently courting. I suspect that we will get a better idea of that scenario in the next CC. Do you have any skin in this game?
