David,

In today's WSJ, in the Heard on the Street column, Dr. Folkman is quoted as saying that "his lab has since discovered four other unnamed vessel-blocking agents that may be even more potent than the two being developed by EntreMed. He said no company has the rights to develop these."

Is this news to you? I do not remember previous mention of additional and more potent agents since the announcement of Endostatin. As far as the rights to these agents go I was a little surprised that "no company has the rights to develop these" since Entremed's annual report stated that "The company holds the worldwide, exclusive rights to angiogenesis products invented by Dr. Folkman and his team of scientists". Perhaps this is explainable from the following in the 10K -- "The Company obtained an an exclusive option to negotiate an exclusive, worldwide, royalty-bearing license to any technology resulting from the research at Children's Hospital in areas covered by the agreement." Is it your understanding that EntreMed has a right of first refusal on Dr. Folkman's angiogenesis developments?
