From a science perspective: Flt-3 is a blood cell and dendritic cell receptor, not at all analagous to the retinoic acid receptors that Ligand concentrates on, but rather a tyrosine kinase receptor. Unless Ligand is focussing on other receptor ligands as well, this is no competition. Plus, as we learn more about cancer genesis (carcinogenesis), we find that there are multiple etiologies, all of which may benefit from specific therapies that address that specific target. To me that translates into plenty of room for lots of biotech products in the future to treat cancer, since there are so many forms and causes and pathophysiologies. Do you agree Henry?
