Dew, I have to think that the results for Macugen that you posted are mixed. The fact that the 90% of the patients treated with Macugen lost 6 lines, vs. 78% for the placebo, doesn't look good. On the other hand, the percentages don't add up to 100%, so I am probably misreading. (See Dew's original post for a better tabular result.)
