Many seem ready to write off TNFerade completely, I don't believe that's happening at all. To me TNFerade should be partnered to someone willing to do the necessary trials in a timely way. To get such a partnership after the PACT failure GNVC must be willing to take far less then they could previously have gotten.

The key is proper funding. GNVC could take Esophageal into a small Pivotal Trial that could take 5 to 10 years, but with the backing of a big Pharma, with perhaps 100 to 200 clinical sites worldwide, with the right protocol it could be completed in under 3 years, but not with survival as the endpoint. I believe that a big Pharma running with TNFerade could gain approval by 2013 or 2014 and have it in additional Pivotal trials that would approve it in many other indications within a couple years of the initial approval.
