IMCL is up more than 25% in pre-market after Merck KGaA said that the findings from the FLEX,a large PIII in which Erbitux was given to patients with advanced NSCLC alongside platinum-based chemotherapy, showed positive evidence of improved survival,in contrast with the negative findings from a smaller trial in July.

Erbitux's promise in lung cancer could be bad news for Roche and DNA's competing drug Avastin, which works in a different way.Some "analysts" like Dresdner Kleinwort, said they were not changing their forecasts for Avastin but there was an increased risk of future downgrades.<g>

Merk KGA stock was up 5% in Europe & BMY which markets Erbitux for IMCL in the US was up around 2%.

RGEN will apparently not participate on those results, since the claims it had with MIT against IMCL & BMY were settled for some 65M instead of going to trial.<g>
