Enrollment In Phase IIb Clinical Trial For I-vation� TA (MK-0140) Suspended Pending Review Of Study Design By Merck & Co., Inc.
Merck's Phase IIb clinical trial is intended to evaluate the safety and efficacy of SurModics' I-vation TA in patients with DME.

Additionally, SurModics remains committed to its ongoing development programs with multiple other customers pursuing the development of products incorporating SurModics' sustained delivery technologies, including the I-vation chopine, for the treatment of diseases of the optic.

Nude challenge in Big Brother house
Having flirted with both Sylvia and Jennifer, the 25-year-old was called to the Diary Room to find out about the challenge.
On returning he told the group: "Housemates must use their imagination and creativity as they take part in Big Brother's Life Class. Housemates must either paint or sculpt the new housemate, Stuart, in the nude."
Asked to explain her work, Sylvia said: "This is my sexy interpretation of Stu. I have focused on his sexy body with his beautiful pecs going on, his nice eyes and I think his face is really pretty."
But Stuart picked Jennifer - who said her painting was a reference to Adonis - as the winner.
There was further disappointment for Sylvia last night when Stuart appeared to play down the prospects of a relationship between them.
After talking to Stuart, Jennifer told Sylvia: "He's not saying that he doesn't find you attractive, and that he doesn't think things could develop in here. He's just saying that at such an early stage, after two days... he doesn't want to start anything and isolate himself from the group."

Razorlight - Borrell Movie Stalled
RAZORLIGHT frontman JOHNNY BORRELL's acting career has been thrown into question - after production on his debut movie THE MEAT TRADE has stalled.
The British rocker was reportedly set to play a musician killed by two grave robbers - played by Colin Firth and Robert Carlyle - in novelist Irvine Welsh's latest screenplay, originally slated for release later this year (08).
But Borrell's big screen debut appears to still be some way off - the singer has revealed the project is still waiting for the green light.
He says, "It's still not certain yet. We'll just have to wait and see. But I'm really hoping that it does happen because I've read the script and it's brilliant - I get offers to act all the time, but this is the first one I've ever wanted to do."

Papoose Dismisses 'Ridiculous' Remy Ma Escape-Plot Rumors, Promises Appeal And Wedding
With thoughts of injustice flowing through his mind, Papoose erupted in anger in a New York courtroom Tuesday after hearing that his fiancee, Remy Ma, had been sentenced to eight years in prison.
"I got a little bit aggravated. I think anybody would," Pap, wearing a wedding band on his ring finger, said in New York's Platinum Studios Wednesday. "To see a female get persecuted like that for something they didn't do. ... Then, on the other hand, you see Sean Bell get murdered by police and they just walk out the courtroom. A crime they admitted they did. Then somebody that's suspected of a crime goes to jail and gets sentenced to eight years. These police gun a man down and murder him. In the same city a mother gets snatched away from her child. It's aggravating."
Remy Ma (born Reminisce Smith) was sentenced after being convicted of shooting her onetime close friend Makeda Barnes-Joseph during a dispute over money. Smith claimed that Barnes-Joseph stole $3,000 from her.
"I never seen a case with more issues, more grounds for appeal than hers," said Pap, who called Remy's lawyer, Ivan Fisher, "incompetent." "Everybody had different stories. Nobody's stories matched. They all lied on the stand. It's disgusting. It's obvious what that case was about."
There's no doubt that Barnes-Joseph was shot. Fisher called it an accident. Papoose refused to go into detail about what he believes to be the truth surrounding the shooting, but he did say his fiancee would have a new lawyer during the appeal. He talked to Remy on Wednesday and said the message she has for the people, especially her fans, is "'Thanks for the support. Black people, go to jury [duty]." Papoose said, "Out of a hundred-and-something jurors while they were doing jury selection, there were only six blacks. ... It was an all-white jury. ... [But] she's maintaining. She's got a strong mind. The case is definitely gonna be appealed. Everything in the dark will come to the light."
Although Pap talks to Remy regularly, he cannot see her in person any time soon. Over the weekend, the two were to be married on Rikers Island. During his visit, however, there was supposedly some controversy over something on his key chain; reports circulated that Pap tried to sneak Remy a tiny skeleton key that can unlock handcuffs.
"That whole claim and that rumor is ridiculous," he said. "Ever since she's been incarcerated, I've been going to visit her consistently. I've always had my key chain that has the key to my truck, my crib. ... Everything that was on my key chain was always there [during my visits]. The [corrections officers have] always seen my key chain.
"This particular time, this one dude. I guess he had a bad day or something," Pap continued. "One C.O. looked at it like, 'You can't bring this in here.' "
Pap added that the corrections officer took the small key in question and let Pap go on about his business. Twenty-five minutes later, the Brooklyn MC was called in to speak to the warden.
"It was a small key," Pap said. "I honestly don't think the sh-- could open handcuffs. [Sneak it to her] on Rikers Island? What are you gonna do with that? For me to give her a handcuff key, that's ridiculous. They put in the papers [that] I was trying to help her escape and all that. If that was true, I would have been arrested. It was just an excuse for them to do some of the foul things they did.
"Everybody knows if it was a felony, I would have been arrested," he added.
At press time, officials for Rikers Island could not be reached for comment. Although Pap had to leave the prison and cannot return to see Remy in the foreseeable future, he maintains his ban will be lifted soon and that he and Rem will get married.
"People scatter. My heart is pure. It's not in my heart to leave somebody when they're in a time of need," he said of his devotion to Remy. "[Crisis] actually brings me closer to them. I'mma hold her down, keep her mind steady. She's gonna be alright."
The couple met a few years ago through Pap's musical mentor, DJ Kay Slay.
"She's sincere, she's got a good heart," Poose said. "We got a chance to build on a lot of situations. We've been through a couple of things, [and] I got a chance to see she had a good heart."
Papoose just finished a song called "My Girl" where he talks about Remy in one of the verses. "Why I need a handcuff key when I got the key to your heart?" he raps.
"It's about a daughter, mother and wife," he said. "It goes out to all the females in our lives that hold us down, keep us strong. They brought us into the world. We gotta return the favor."
