Medarex presentation at Bear Stearns

The most (and perhaps only) noteworthy thing said at the conference was that DD saw the start of a pivotal trial for MDX-010 in refractory multiple myeloma. This should be expected towards the end of this year or early next year.

The only thing preventing them from pushing the start-button is (according to DD) that they still have not figured out what the ideal dosing schedule should look like. Not terribly confidence-boosting if you ask me.

Evidently they have to find a dosing scheme that will prevent the occurrence of serious auto-immune side-effects, while still producing response data that are good enough for approval.

Anyhow, the MDX-010 trials in multiple myeloma speed along. If they can repeat the data presented at ASCO for a larger group of patients the green light from FDA should be a formality. Let's hope they are able to figure out what they should do about the dosing schedule.
