I found some additional material on the recent Elt

I found some additional material on the recent Eltoprazine trial that would seem to suggest that combination therapy with Eltoprazine and several other drugs has been investigated/studied already. I'm not familiar with all of these other drugs, so I'll try to do more research on them to see what the indications are and how Eltoprazine might tie in. The last paragraph (0052) seems to tie it all together in a list of possible indications. You'll have to forgive the legalese and "patent-speak" in these paragraphs.

For additional background, the co-inventors on the patent this was pulled from are Emer Leahy (president and CEO of Psychogenics) and Bavani Shankar (formerly VP at Psychogenics, now director of BD at AstraZeneca).
