The world's best-selling drug, Humira, took 15 years for its sales to go from $250M in 2003 to nearly $20B in 2018. The point here is that approved-effective drugs take time to ramp-up to the billion-dollar+ sales arena.

Additonally, oral mucositis is not even, globally, a billion-dollar market and the gastrointestinal market comes with major competition from the likes of AbbVie, JNJ, Allergan & AstraZeneca. Also:

In terms of the gastrointestinal pipeline, there are 937 products in active development, most of which are small molecules and biologics. The therapy area is highly active and has the seventh-largest pipeline across the pharma industry, with more active pipeline products than therapy areas such as respiratory, ophthalmology, and dermatology.

B-COVID advantage over other B/indications is: Market Opportunity

a situation in which a product, service, etc. that is potentially wanted or needed by consumers is identified by a business as not being supplied by rival companies.

Globally, substantial market opportunities await B-COVID in the form of bulk billion-dollar buyers around the world and the coronavirus variants will only serve to make B-COVID even more valuable.

Leo is working hard to get B-COVID up and running and, IMO, he would be unwise to expend IPIX's precious capital on further development of B-OM and B-UC/CD (gastrointestinal area). IMO, Leo should be solely focused on B-COVID and the development of B as a broad spectrum anti-viral drug therapy (AVDT).

B-COVID, judging from the sales experience of vaccines, will generate billion$ in MONTHS not YEARS and once revenues start rolling in Leo, IMO,should turn his attention back to the development of "K" for Ovarian cancer because Ovarian Carcinomas are

a gateway indication toward Kevetrin treating many types of hematological malignancies and tumors.

I believe the course of action I am proposing is consistent with the sales projections and market size for the above indications.

The logic here is very simple and best stated by the late bank robber Willie Sutton who, arrested and walking into FBI HQ, was asked, "Why do you rob banks?" Sutton's response:

“Because that's where the money is.”
