Max, and Andrew you asked why we bought CLTR. I am the bull on this one. The Coulter management team is very experienced and very smart. Low grade NHL is the disease to go after because it is the most resistent to Chemo. Medium and High grade respond effectively in 50% of the cases. These form of the disease progess much more quickly but can be treated with conventional chemo with some success. Low grade NHL patients develop resistence to chemo after a relapse or two. The patients in Coulters trial have become resistent to chemo and have absolutely no alternatives. That is why the success rate that was achieve is so remarkable. It also fits in with their quick approval strategy which requires the FDA to expedite approval of drugs for patients with no other options.
