Rick,
I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I have no direct evidence that AGEN's vaccine has any efficacy whatsoever. I've not talked to anyone at AGEN. My assumption that the RCC trial results may be very good is twofold: Garo Armen's excitement at the results of the melanoma trial. While what was released didn't achieve statistical significance, he indicated in his conference call that once all the data was analized completely, that he thought there was a good chance that statistical significance would be achieved for that sub-group for which benefit was observed. The other "tea leaf" I'm using is the length of the RCC trial, which has gone on A LOT longer than was planned. I'm hopeful that the reason it has lasted so long is because people are benefiting from the vaccine. And if they are benefiting, I have absolutely no idea whether it's because of the HSP component or the "self" component. I've read what they say about their technology on their website, but I don't understand it. I guess the last reason I'm in this company is because of the job Garo did with Elan. I know you think he has a "P.T. Barnum" aspect to him, but I still think he's a straight shooter.

If I've not given you any good reasons to invest in this company, maybe instead I've saved you from wasting your money on it. I sure would like to help you -- you've helped me a bunch over the last few years.

Best regards,

Bob
