You can expect announcement of phase III trials of CEA-Scan for breast cancer diagnosis. THere have been many reports from literature and meetings about ability of CEA-Scan in conjunction with mammography to avoid unnecessary breast biopsies. 1st doses of CEA-Scan for this purpose will be available soon.

I trust you saw initiation of phase III trials for LymphoScan? LL2, the antibody portion of LymphoScan will also be conjugated with a therapeutic radioisotope and used for treatment of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Hopefully, they won't have the same myelosuppression side effect problems that others have had up to this point. They may even try to use their avidin/biotin conjugates to increase dose without increasing side effects (that's speculation on my part).

Don't forget submission of LeukoScan for FDA approval and final marketing approval in Europe for LeukoScan and CEA-Scan - both could happen by September 1996.
