Was this the one where the trial started in 07 or was planned to start then and got delayed?

Do any of you remember Al speaking out of turn about that, Hakan or Matt reminding him "we're not supposed to talk about that?" It was mentioned in discussion of the elements of the licensing deal for Afrezza with Sanofi, that's all I remember.

I think we came to the consensus that per the sanofi agreement, they basically get first right of refusal for a GLP-1 / technosphere combination.

That comment was in regards to "a new process" that we figured was for putting more than 12u of insulin onto the Technosphere carrier.
