David,

I actually did a quick Medline check at one point - there are around 2 dozen articles, if I recall correctly (most on tumors, some on zapping HIV). One that concerned me was serious-sounding neurotoxicity in hamsters - doesn't seem to have been an issue in human testing (at least that they talked about), but something that will presumably concern the FDA. (Although if they are getting even the occasional cure in pancreatic cancer, some neurotoxicity presumably wouldn't stop approval). Pretty flaky company, perennially running out of cash, with no partners that I saw. However the stock's pretty cheap for how far along they appear to be.

I didn't buy any, but the stock's up quite a bit from when I passed.

Peter
