In the last year PVCT management has materially toned down its rhetoric regarding the systemic effect of PV-10, and has been more conservative in promoting its efficacy for locoregional disease control....a claim that is more strongly supported by the FDA trials to date. This more conservative communication is likely due in part to concerns over lawsuits and SEC investigations similar to what Dendreon is dealing with concerning its alleged overstatement of the potential market for Provenge......see article below.

SEC Investigating Allegations That Dendreon Misrepresented Provenge's Market.

The Wall Street Journal (5/17, Loftus, Subscription Publication) reports that Dendreon Corp. announced yesterday that the US Securities and Exchange Commission is investigating allegations that the company misrepresented information about Provenge, a treatment for prostate cancer, to investors. The story notes that the medication was approved by the FDA in April 2010. The company is said to have given overly optimistic projections about adoption of the medication.
