GTC Biotherapeutics (fka GTCB)

[shears]

I've been trying to figure out why Factor VII is such a big deal. It must be good stuff or GTCB is stupid with this dilutional deal. GTCB is not starving for cash so on the suface they are bad negotiators or else there is more to Factor VII and whatever else the Fenchies offer than meets the eye. I think that the 92% 'off label' usage is the most telling statistic. Surgeons who operate on 'bleeders' want this stuff and they use it cuz it works for some reason. I'm trying to understand the extrinsic vs intrinsic pathway thing in the coagulation cascade but I'm not a scientist so it takes me a while to delve into this stuff but I think that's some sort of key to why this is a big deal. Scientists, please chime in or I'll google myself to death trying to read thru stuff that's way over my head. TIA.
