Lilly's Ixekizumab phase 3

[Fred]

Exciting stuff, Fred, but I would imagine the annual cost of treatment to be around $50k if the competition is anything to go by.

I think you're probably right Bill, the modern treatments do seem to be expensive. It would be interesting to know the costs of various treatments from around the world, and I sometimes think it's down the the countries health system, do they charge more in a country that gives their people free/subsidised treatment over those that have to pay for it themselves?

( today was informed £12,000 per year )

That is on par with the going rate for the bio's here in France.
