If 534 hits everything including tough mutations, what's the point of a combination with Sprycel? I thought the expectation was 534 was good enough on its own.

rather than waiting for the mutation to occur



So. Please do tell us..... how do you know a mutation is going to occur? What percent of patients on Gleevec develop a mutation or resistance? 10%? Less than 10%? So, if it were up to you, you would be giving 100% of Gleevec patients '534 as well, just, say, hmmm, in the event they develop a mutation?

Sorry. Not gonna happen with the insurance industry on this planet.
