Richard, exploring PRLN's latest annual report (12/30/96) at Edgar site I uncovered the following quote about their business intentions:
"The Company's strategy is to add value to the product development
process by concentrating its efforts on the highly specialized area of
early-stage compound development, generally discovery through
preclinical toxicology mode of action, pharmacology and Phase I
clinical trials." Further reading therein discloses that the initial screening process consists of two stages, and is a process that PRLN is still working to "perfect". It is clear to me that PRLN recognized that they could not realistically expect to "hand off" to a paying partner a candidate compound only on the basis that it had passed the company's preliminary in vitro screening process. Another company hoping to carry on where PRLN left off would have to have pockets deep enough to take the research at least through Phase 1 trials.
