That’s correct. Results of the prior phase-3 were announced in Sep 2005, causing CYPB’s share price to be cut in half.

If memory serves wasn't this the 2nd trial and the first one failed to reach significance?

It just barely missed on the pain endpoint. 0.06 or thereabouts.

I wonder if this is enough for approval?

For the Fibro pain label - almost certainly (barring some unrevealled negative). One stat sig ph iii, one almost stat sig ph iii, and one randomized ph ii.

For the Fibro syndrome label - it will depend on the first ph iii. If the first ph iii was p<0.15 in both treatment arms then that plus the fairly strong results in this ph iii would seem a reasonable basis to grant the label.

Will post more thoughts as I dig around.
