Therafectin is a drug that Greenwich brought as far as stage 3 clinicals
before they ran out of money. It seems to hold some promise for people
with rheumatoid arthritis on a molecular level, and also showed some
promise in fighting other immuno-supressive disorders. I wouldn't call
it the "big one" since BLSI has a number of other exploratory drugs in
the pipeline...there's some optimism on several of them. BLSI is a
speculative biotech stock only in the sense that any small biotech
company is very speculative. These companies eat up the cash as fast
as it comes in and most of them don't have any sales revenues. But if
the payoff comes, it can come really big. Remember, Amgen was one of
these companies a few years ago. And like I said, the fact that a huge
pharmaceutical company like Zeneca took a stake means there must be at
least one drug in the pipeline that has potential. At any rate, I only
paid a small amount for the old GRPI stock that converted to BLSI, so if
they go bust it'll be a little tax write-off.
