Things have been quiet, but for a reason:
they had a session with the FDA, wherein they were asked to provide additional information, which is now being compiled. Pending some decision from the FDA or something specific to announce, there is nothing to report other than published articles and reports, usually by others.
There have been some of those, but there was no reaction because they are not that easy to understand. Suffice it to say that in one article Onconase was deemed a potent new drug in the treatment of cancer (not an exact quote).
Alfacell will present at the ASCO conference this month:
