No, not really. Just a statement that the scientists working on the project at Pharmacia appeared to be very enthusiastic about the project and its merits. But I suppose that comes with the job. If I caught it right there has been a recent presentation of some good-looking data, but I didn't manage to get the details on that.

The initiation of a second proof-of-principle phase II trial seem to indicate that not everyone is yet fully convinced. It was a very nice "gesture" of Pfizer to provide the drug as well as additional funding. Perhaps they wanted to get the drug(s) (there was another one going back to Nastech) out of the way in view of the pending merger. When big elephants mate there is bound to be some collateral damage.

I wonder what Lynch had to provide in exchange? I don't believe the drug came as the complete gift as it has been presented.
