Not much new at BoA conference, but there is a TPO slide showing increase in mean platelet count in mice over 3 doses. Looks like 5x at day 6 on max dose, tapering to baseline at day 14. Dose dependent response.

In answering question about comparison with Exanta, U'Pritchard said Exanta is a prodrug and its bioavailability is in the low teens, whereas 3dp's bioavailability is 85-95% producing less inter-patient blood level variation and consequently less risk of bleeding (of which they have seen 0 in models) and less monitoring. Also 3dp and JnJ believe that it will be a good once-a-day product--after alza's technology incorporated. Said azn publicly said Exanta will never be better than a 2x/day drug.
