Erik,

I think that anti-CTLA-4 is valuable play, and MEDX may have here something of value. However, is their IP right (from GILD-NXTR) sufficient to stop competitor(s), I do not know.

For instance we have several controversy reports on IMCL IP right on anti-EGFR antibody/chemo combination. While I will side with those who think that IMCL IP right is not so strong, AMGN action to move single agent ABX-EGF into pivotal trial suggest that they are AFRAID of the possible IMCL action. Also, initially IMCL tried to push combination as ONLY options in using anti-EGF antibody (one of the reason that FDA rejected initial NDA).
So, transplanted to MEDX anti-CTLA-4 IP right, it will be interesting to see (and follow) what potential competitors are doing here???
