Re <<Am I reading too much into this?>> Probably yes. Each group has chosen to release, by whatever means, information selectively. The investigators involved probably look forward to get their nice publications in the New England Journal, the Lancet, or Nature Medicine, and they do not want to let the cat completely out of the bag. But George could tell you that too. -g-

But if you want to keep worrying, here is "a" list of other molecules in phase II or I/II for psoriasis:

Ligands's *retins, and Ontak.
Abgenix anti-IL8 human antibody
ICOS's anti-ICAM-3 antibody
Vertex small molecule inhibitor of T-cell proliferation
Axys tryptase small molecule inhibitor
IDEC's anti-B7 and (maybe??) anti-CD4 antibodies ...

And here is an article from Bristol-Myers Squibb on their phase I:

(some nasty pictures, so don't do after meals -g-)

And this is the release on Olux phase III data (this is not directly comparable to the BGEN or XOMA trial; just another data point):
