Richard-I suspect that with your omnivorous consumption of biotech info your totally up to date on IMGN. However in case you're not---IMGN has a TAP technology platform deal cooking with Cornell/BLZ (plus another partner) who have a PSA antibody. In mice models they demonstrated eradication of prostate cancer with the antibody conjugated with DM1. Presumably one could speculate that Genentech and British Biotech had access to existing data on colon/pancreatic cancer trial which supported the deal making. The trial has dosed about 20(my guess) plus patients, some of whom are on their 4th dose with no side effects or immune system reaction. No word on efficacy but the people at IMGN are feeling good and are enthusiastic about TAP technology.
Regards, JOE
