Mr Bear

I dislike this report on the Phase I trials.
There is no dose information and no qualitative or
quantitative information on the tumors. The title
of the presentation says clinical data is being
presented but I don't see any data. Perhaps, the
problem is with the person reporting but this
announcement seems weak.

Last year Blitzer said, "We own all the rights to one
of the most exciting anti-cancer drugs in human clinical
developement today". For this to be true, they should
have seen tumor regression in humans.

On April 16,1997, Blitzer reported, "Last week, we saw
the first evidence of anti-tumor activity in humans with
MGI 114 by a CT-scan showing shrinkage of a tumor in a
patient enrolled in our Phase I study".

Why not include the qualitative or quantitative information
on tumor regression for the Am. Soc. of Clinical Oncology?
Sure the purpose of Phase I trials is toxic dose but please
don't hold back information on the tumors.

Once again, hopefully this is a reporting problem.

I trust the drug but don't understand this understated
press release.
