Great news. Positive trend which was begun earlier today has continued after market. Some must have had information from the meeting.
Now up 6.2%.

Love the highlighted points.

Additional highlights from Dr. Goldfarb''s presentation on Zerenex are as follows:

* Statistically significant dose response increase in serum bicarbonate suggests potential to address metabolic acidosis
* Statistically significant dose response reduction in calcium x phosphorus product
* Modest upward trends in Ferritin and TSAT in 6 grams/day and 8 grams/day dose groups further supports theory that Zerenex could reduce the need for intravenous iron and erythropoiesis-stimulating agent (ESA) use
* Zerenex appeared to be safe and well-tolerated in the study
* GI adverse events were mostly mild and transient in nature
* No SAEs were deemed to be drug-related by the Data Safety Monitoring Committee
