I'll chip in with a contribution.

REGN.
* Deemphasizing axokine as presently formulated. Not sure the modest benefit will translate into enough commercial potential to justify a big spend.
* Looking into less immunogenicic formulations. Why they didn't admit to the above two before, I don't know.
* IL-1 trap. Claim they can push the dose higher and boost efficacy. I wonder if they worry about NVS taking a walk?
* Driver VEGF trap. Up to 0.8 mg now in phase I dose escalation. Seeing responses. 2004 VEGF goals:
*Initiate 3-5 phase I combo studies with standard chemo.
*Initiate 2 single agent phase II studies
*Partner in Japan
*AMD systemic start trial early this year
*AMD local start later in year
