How much is a Big Pharma partnersip worth to a cancer vaccine developer? For Cell Genesys, (CEGE), it looks like it might be as much as $80 million from Japan Tobacco. Cell Genesys' GVAX cancer vaccine is pointed toward, prostrate, lung and melanoma, but it is only in Phase I/II trials. When I compare a deal like this to AVII's vaccine entering Phase III, I have to believe AVII will win big dollars as well for a company whose market cap is much smaller than CEGE's. While CEGE has some secondary assets, AVII's drug delivery and antisense programs have got to be worth more than is reflected currently in the stock price. Speaking of antisense, Isis has acquired Gilead's antisense patents and work product. Hmmm
