I think this could be huge for pona. I've been tracking this trial for a year or so and I think they used 150mg, half of the approved frontline CML dose. Since we know nilo crosses the BBB at 5-6% of plasma concentrations and pona crosses the BBB at over 200% of plasma concentrations (see pona patent for PD/AD), it could be that very low doses of pona, 5-10mg, would be effective. First order of business is to demonstrate a 15mg dose in CML has very few side effects and no SAE's. This data will come with the OPTIC trial and could be available at ASH 2016. Ariad would definitely partner a non-oncology indication, but with 3M patients in the developed world any potential royalty would still be Ariad's biggest revenue generator by far.
