george, It looks like LGND is trying to get its story out. In addition to the NBC4 News story in Washington D.C. (at Lombardi), there was a similar show with patients at M.D. Anderson. In this case, the vial with Ligand's name was show. A similar segment was also shown in Louisville, KY, but I don't know if these were KY patients or a re-run of the Lombardi or M.D. Anderson patients. In any event, the story is the same. Although the drugs don't work on all patients, in some patients the results can be quite dramatic. The low toxicity profile of Targretin, Panretin, and I assume ALRT1550, should move these retinoids and rexinoids into the fore-front against many cancers, not just the releative rare cancers that are being targeted in the pivotal Phase III trials that are finishing up.
