I see that the big cancer research conference is a month away.

aacr.org

And judging by last year, it looks like CEGE likes to use the meeting to make announcements.

prnewswire.com

Can anyone provide an educated guess what sort of announcements we might expect from the GVAX cancer vaccines considering their stage of development?

Judging by the chart it looks like GVAX prostate cancer vaccines are nearing Phase III? Or will this likely take a couple more months? Have I missed something?

In the second half of 1999, Cell Genesys completed Phase I/II trials in both prostate cancer and lung
cancer GVAX© triggering two $4.5 million payments. The company is developing GVAX© cancer
vaccines for prostate cancer and lung cancer through a worldwide collaboration with the pharmaceutical
division of Japan Tobacco (JT). Under this collaboration, the two companies will share equally in
product development costs and future profits. Cell Genesys will have marketing rights in North America,
JT will have marketing rights in Japan, Taiwan and Korea, and the companies will share rights in Europe
and the rest of the world. Cell Genesys expects to receive approximately $45 million during the first two
years of this collaboration.
