<Note also AVAN's complement inhibitor program, partially partnered and also in the clinic. >

Is this the program AVAN got from VRI/T-Cell? I recall these programs from earlier times, and partner was SKB. Have not followed to see how it faired in trials but looked good in Phase I/II I recall. Looked like a promising program.

Late great T-Cell:

Basic complement inhibitor patent set. There are more later I believe also.

From the AVAN 10-K

"AVANT started the complement program in 1988. From 1989 through 1994, TP10 was under development in a joint program with SmithKline Beecham, p.l.c. ("SmithKline") and Yamanouchi Pharmaceutical Co. ("Yamanouchi"). During 1994, AVANT and SmithKline negotiated various amendments to the agreement and, in February 1995, the two companies agreed to a mutual termination "

Probably someone on the AVAN thread knows the whole story.
