I was talking in general about the possible increasing trend here of some doctors or institutions using the CATIE study out of context and possibly doing dangerous cutting costs from it. That's all. It's a topic of late among the medical community. No company has tried to pursue claims that their novel antipsychotic is better in effectiveness than old line ones -- just that they might have lower EPS and better quality of life as a result. Except perhaps for Clozaril, but that's a special category in itself.
