"I just don't expect results which point to commercial viability." Rick--I think you hit the nail on the head and this was an unstated, though a point of consensus that was reached by Amgen and Xencor and factored into the decision not to proceed with a Ph2b clinical trial.

By the way, I never quite built out the share purchase of Xencor stock that I had planned on, some months back. When the lockup expiration expired a few months ago I was going to purchase more (I think it was in the low $8 or high $7 range at the time), but didn't follow through. Not sure why, but think I was distracted by consulting work! I'm just letting things ride for a while. Remain impressed with Dahiyat, but Xencor is working in a crowded, competitive field. I do like the decision to focus on therapies for diseases with high, unmet needs. Remain optimistic with 7195 and the partnership with Morphosys.
