There is more than just animal data for Targretin or Panretin treatment of breast cancer. Robinson has indicated that the initial Targretin data for advanced breast cancer looked good and they were moving for aggressively for that indication. Moreover combination treatments have begun using Panretin (and possibly Tagretin) with Tamoxifen (at least 2 separate studies sponsored by the government). In addition, LLY was impressed enough to include a Targretin/Evista program for cancer, which I assume will target breast cancer.

I haven't heard results from the combination studies, but SA promised quite of bit of clinical data at the April 8 conference as well as ASCO in May (and more data at the International AIDS conference in June, which will not be related to breast cancer).
