Hi Tytd!

I will ask Dr. Olnes about this. If thalidomide is cheaper, one might wonder whether the profit motive is at play.

I fully expect, since Revlimid is not approved yet for non-5q, that I will be doing a clinical trial, even if that's my next choice. I think I'll do some searching on Thalidomide for MDS in clinical trials.gov.

Thanks much!
